Underground Cabin
Living underground: Finding peaceful comfort in an earth sheltered home. This housing construction style may be the future. Sheltering a home with earth provides moderated temperatures that will eliminate or significantly reduce cooling costs and require only a small amount of heating. Underground homes offer improved safety from potential fire or high wind damage. Building underground reduces the cost of construction and maintenance of your house.
Energy efficient underground homes is the best for going back to pre-industrial country living for the post-industrial future. You can build your survival home from sandbags, concrete, cordwood (log ends), straw bales, and more. The choice of materials is open to your imagination and ability to find or acquire the resources you will need. Often there is salvage opportunities to reduce costs like used cabinets, doors, wood, tile, windows or other items available.
Underground homes can be warm in winter, cool in summer, and if constructed well they have plenty of natural light, and are safe from hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, quiet, fire, radiation fallout, gunfire; and are comfortable and attractive.
Your home can be partially underground and serve as an emergency shelter with a wood or coal heating and cooking stove, and add solar power or wind power with battery power storage to have all the things we have come to enjoy. Combining a home like this, with a good green house, a pond, and personal water-well.
Making your underground homestead a farmstead is as easy as choosing types of livestock and products: chickens, pigs, sheep, cattle, rabbits, fish, bees, worms, horses, or goats; and adding a garden area for fresh vegetables, some fruit trees, and nut trees.
We can be free from the enslavement of costly utility company services like electric, propane , natural gas, fuel oil, and water bills. Producing our own healthy, organic foods is not just a romantic dream, it can be done. With planning and commitment a happy and independent life is waiting for those who choose to embrace it.
Now is a good time to start getting familiar with wilderness skills, and begin building a survival kit. . With dwindling world oil reserves and other nations angry at United States consumption our government is not going to be available to help us when our entire system begins unraveling. We will be on our own and a prepared pack for yourself and each person you are responsible for.
Adding freeze dried/dehydrated food storage to get through the tough first few years may be the best option for individuals, families, and communal community groups who choose to make their second home an underground survival retreat. We only have what we can keep so self-defense preparations are wise. After high oil prices cause the collapse of our economic system we can still live great lives.
Your underground cabin, underground home, underground house, earth shelter, rammed earth, earth sheltered retreat is as much an investment for your financial future as it is an investment in personal and family security and safety. Nobody says your second home, retirement home, or recreational land needs to have the usual above ground stick-built inefficient type of building that sucks resources out of the planet, money out of your pocket, and leaves you with very little in the way of protection from the lawlessness of failing social/economic/political systems as the oil age comes to an end.
