Earthbag Evolution

Uploaded by spidar1919 on Nov 26, 2010
This video was inspired by a RV Adventure road trip back in 2007. Sierra's love of traveling, ancient architecture, and nature was the motivating factor in becoming a full time solo RVist, at the age of 36yrs. On her many adventures on the road she came across many ancient settlements and was fascinated by the agelessness and simplicity of Earthen Architecture. She started researching all types of Natural Building techniques and decided to focus Earthbag Building. She has built a raised garden bed and is currently involved in a large dome EB project in Canada.
btw....she is looking for her soulmate who is interested in thinking outside the box!

@alycat748 also would you be able to combine the earthship ideas to ie use mudbags for the walls?
-
I love the idea !!!!!!!!! Does anyone know if you would be allowed to build one in the uk ? :)
-
@spidar1919 We live in Manitoba and are looking at building several dome homes with a group of other individuals. Do you have any tips ?
-
Ingenious! The tube bags could perhaps be made from recycled material. What about filling them with sand and cut up tires?
-
@spidar1919 - You're more than welcome. I still have an interest in this eco-friendly manner of building a home. Yes indeed.

One thing I am unclear on. The tube rolls shown at 1:55, I've seen videos of domes built as one seamless spiral of that tube, but how does one fill it while unrolling it?

@KamenDesantis Hello, I get asked that question a lot. Cut the length you need, fold the end and fill. Just remember...the longer you cut your piece the harder it will be to fill it. We were working on a 20ft dome, we decided to cut the pieces of tubed bag in 4 pieces on the lower sections, made it much easier to manage.

This is a EXCELLENT video that does a great job of showing us how building with earthbags can be a cost-effective option for traditional home construction. I also appreciate the concepts of darkness and LIGHT.
