I am from Canada and joined this site to get some tips/advice about off grid living, homesteading and living off the land in the forest/mountains.
Welcome to our Monkey Tree... Lots of good information here, and plenty of Good Old Down Home Folks, sitting in the Branches.... Have a good look around....

Ah, Sloth - we are in the west. Planning to take off soon on foot and walk the length of the TCT starting south, going north and returning. Stopping in at WWOOF places along the way and learning as much as we can about building natural housing. I have a particular interest in cob homes and straw bale housing. Should take about 2 - 3 years.
I know they burn very well, and very fast. R-factors are impressive, but one pissed-off drunk, and you are out of a home, and maybe dead. Fire is about the only thing that really bothers me about stick build homes. Straw bales burn much faster.
