[papercreters] CONCRETE CLOTH SHELTERS



Very ingenious use of cement impregnated cloth--a tent in a bag..water it, blow up. move in in <30 hours  then cover with layers of papercrete?

several kinds are shown in youtube vids

they show electric blowers, but in remote areas in emergency situations  delivering these heavy bags needing a lifter,  and  adding air, plus available water under pressure seems not as easy as they show.   there are no windows, only a door for ventilation, no light inside… the one god idea is covering with earth or foam/snow as insulation


no reason you couldn't buy long strips of cement cloth, lay over wire/metal frame and spray with a hose, plan windows, etc before setting the concrete.

Some people forget that their beliefs don't make them a better person. 
*Their behavior does*

"Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones. And when you have laboriously accomplised your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake." 
(Victor Hugo, 1802-1885)
