  "map_content": "As far as the mud building goes, I love the idea and have watched many videos of people building them. I love how simple it is. I live in the UK and many of our oldest buildings are built of a wooden frame and wattle and daub in between - willow branches, straw and mud and animal dung. So over here we have a lot of 500-1000 year old buildings using this method. I love how it simplifies the building process, but also keeps the inside either warm or cool, depending on the weather. I also love how organic the buildings look and how it expands the possibilities as far as your imagination can go. Would love to hear more of your insights about it. How practical is it. How legal is it? How resilient, etc. Here\u2019s my local wattle and daub pub The Old Hall from the 1600s.",

  "map_content": "Ah, thank you for a wonderful reply Mudfun ! Isn\u2019t this platform epic! So much more in-depth than X. Your reply reminded me that I used to build mud huts (and igloos in winter) all the time when I was a kid. I built a buried underground den\u2014a hole with a bin lid and grass covering it and many mud and stone hut dens down by the canal. I was obsessed. I also had fires in them (and set fire to an entire field when I was 5 or 6 \u2014oops!) and used to cook jacket potatoes wrapped in foil and sausages on them. I also had a jet cub boat as I was obsessed with going up and down the canals and adventuring generally. We used to get up to all sorts of mischief and would go Youth Hostelling on our own for 4-5 days at a time, long before mobile phones existed, walking 10-25 miles per day across the countryside. We would always be dropped off 30-50 miles away and walk home. I was a big fan of Lord of the Rings and believed myself to be a hobbit, I think, and used to sing the walking songs I\u2019d heard when Lord of the Rings was a radio play. (The Road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began\u2026 etc.) So, yes, I think you\u2019re right, it is in my bones. I used to imagine our local hill, The Cloud, was Hobbiton, and The Roaches (jaggedy hills that look like a dragon) were Mordor. I lived in America for a few years when I was young 7-9 and used to dream at night that I went down a slope in our apartment\u2019s hallway floor and returned home to The Cloud and my life as a Hobbit living in Bag End built into the side of The Cloud. Wow, haven\u2019t thought about that in years! I sound insane, lol. I was a kid at the time. I also used to muck out stables in exchange for rides and would ride up and down The Cloud on my favourite horse Tara. I had a very idyllic childhood I think, compared to kids nowadays, that allowed me a lot of freedom from supervision and my imagination ran riot. I think, even as an adult I\u2019ve been craving dens. I built a treehouse and a log cabin for my two sons, and recently, during Covid converted my garage into my woman cave and office, which I absolutely love. Thank you for re-awakening those memories for me! It is a very primal feeling of wanting to own land and build a partially underground house. \r\n\r\nSorry for losing your first post by the way. I\u2019ll press post on this one, before I lose it too, and continue in another.",
