How to Build a Fortress on the Cheap
Aaron is an amateur owner-builder putting together an earthbag home on his land in Texas. In the video below he gives us a tour of the home in it’s current unfinished state. The house is small (not tiny) and appears to have a couple of small bedrooms, one bath, and a combination kitchen & living room. The house also includes a small root cellar accessed just outside the home.
Aaron is one of a growing number of people hedging their bets in case the powers-that-be fail in their attempts to stabilize the economy. He’s put his money and time into his land and preparations in case our civilization buckles under the strain of an oil collapse or other traumatic events.
So while his YouTube Channel, Storm Clouds Gathering, is mostly political in nature, I suspect we’ll be seeing more videos of his small home soon. Aaron also writes a blog called Waiting for The Storm.
I’ve listened to quite a few of Aaron’s videos now, and feel compelled to say, that it’s refreshing to hear such honest and considered commentary on YouTube. Most of the stuff there seems incredibly biased and contrived. So while I don’t agree with some of Aaron’s opinions, I truly appreciate his insight, perspective, and arguments.
Rock on Aaron! Looking forward to seeing more of your homestead!
