I've been reading a lot about Slab city lately and it sounds like a pretty cool place. I don't know if you guys have heard about earthbag houses before but they are basically houses made out of filling up bags with dirt or sand, often in the shape of a dome. You can build them dirt cheap, a lot of people buy mislabeled rice bags for next to nothing to build them, and some barbed wire to hold them together in between the layers. One person can build one in a couple weeks time if he worked at it.
I've been wanting to do something like that for a long time, even if I could afford to buy some land to do it on somewhere else, they have building codes and stuff that often won't let you. Do you guys think something like this would be feasible there?
I also read that the locals don't like people that come there tenting, which I decided is what I want to do in a couple weeks. I read something about the tenters taking dumps and it being the desert it doesn't decompose fast or something and the year-rounders don't like the people coming in tents because of that? I don't really see a way around this, what would be the proper thing to do there as far as disposing of your crap?
