  "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": "I feel good to be talking to you, as someone who knows more about treechat than me because even though I\u2019m not part of crypto (except for learning about it) I hold great promise for it and that\u2019s partly why I\u2019m here. This feels like the right place to learn more and take part so thanks.\u00a0\u00a0I relate to the idea of valuing information and communication which ties into being heard and understood and this conversation we are having in this space shows great possibilities for all that.\u00a0\u00a0Thanks for sharing those pics and links to your pub, community and heritage. I am itching to meander off the first topic (treechat and earthen shelter) and say something on my mind that relates to those underground tunnels and those poem riddles but first I want to say that I see you already know so much. You know how durable these structures are and you know they are beautiful. You can feel the artisanship and craftsmanship in them. I\u2019m assuming you might have ancestral ties to those who participated in their creation.\u00a0\u00a0So you already know. I would like to guide you through the process of building a small scale model to rekindle your instincts, and re-familiarise\u00a0\u00a0yourself with the ingredients, recipes, methods and considerations for building in life size to bring you closer to your dream of building and sculpting a cosy little place to recharge in.\u00a0\u00a0I say rekindle and re familiarise because the knowledge is in our DNA awaiting to be awoken. When I first went to teach this at a preschool, during the intro, a little boy said he already knew this and I asked him who he learned it from and he said he taught himself and then I realised the same was true for me. We used to go down to the creek and make \u201cmud pies\u201d to dry on the rock without adult guidance and it was decades later that I found out what mud play really means and perhaps part of why children are instinctively drawn to it. Superior shelter creation!\u00a0\u00a0It starts with playing with some subsoil and water to make mud.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You may know that the walls of the old \u201ccob\u201d homes in the Devon area are all earth with the white limestone render. Wood is only used for windows, doors, roof and furniture.\u00a0\u00a0To answer your question about practicality i would say that thinking small - as in, \u201cless is more,\u201d addresses that issue, as the delight of the \u201ccosiness factor\u201d depends on a small space.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In terms of legitimacy - the word \u201cheritage\u201d says it all\u00a0and I have concluded that industry (especially in its modern form) is the wrong (relatively new) vehicle for satisfying our shelter needs, so you when looking for legitimacy you are better to start off with heritage and then go deeper down to instincts. In order to create cosy superior shelter in a way thatpleases the soul and nurtures and protects us from\u00a0abhorrent forms of adulteration, we need to follow the basic set of human values that we were born with, and which modern industry is at odds with. People naturally like to give to one another because it makes us feel good because at some level we see each other as a part of ourself, a part of our humanity and invoking this innate spirit of generosity is the key to creating shelter that delivers protection, security and freedom - it\u2019s real purpose.\u00a0 But industry sees us as consumers -something outside of itself to be preyed upon.\u00a0If you were to yell out, at the top of your lungs, \u201cPlanned obsolescence eat your heart out!!!!\u201d with a sarcastic evil toothy grin, in the moment when your new (expensive) house shows signs of falling apart already,\u00a0\u00a0while you are simultaneously realising that your rent or mortgage payments are too high, taking away too much of your time and energy, and your shelter payment funds are indirectly being used (via the legacy banking system) to fund activities such as war you don\u2019t believe in, then such an existential-angst-fuelled outburst would sum up where the voracious appetite of Industry is capable of taking us.\u00a0\u00a0But I guess it takes being here at this juncture to be able to value the contents of this conversation and so perfect timing eh?\u00a0 Please tell me more about what brought you here two years ago and where you see it going for you and tell me more about what you think of those tunnels under your town and what you think f the word \u201cdruids\u201d which are mentioned in the poems.",

  "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.",

  "map_content": "I do love a bit of history, now I\u2019m older especially so. So I was intrigued to hear about the tunnels in my local town. I ended up only 12 miles away from where I grew up, via many other places in between. Our town is a Saxon market town and our marketplace is called Scotch Common named for a blood soaked encounter during the English Civil War back in 1652 when Scots returning from the Battle of Worcester were set upon and murdered as they slept by the Sandbach locals. I have always felt very drawn to this place, and that it is very haunted by ghosts, or at least I used to think so as a kid. I love all the old Tudor buildings in the town and you can really feel the history throughout this town. I\u2019m currently writing my second novel and will be adding some of this town\u2019s folklore and history of the tunnels into it I think, to add extra dimensionality to the story. I\u2019m pretty level-headed usually, but I crave mystery and writing is such a good outlet for that as you can let loose. You can feel the Druidic spirits here, along with the more recent ones. I sound history obsessed, but I\u2019d actually describe myself more as a futurist, and I\u2019m fanatical about technology and trying new apps, software and tech. I knew in bones when I read the Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide when I was a kid that the internet was coming, and was ecstatic when it finally arrived. I heard about Bitcoin all the way back in 2010 and had a strong instinct it would be very important, and so bought in in 2013 when Mt Gox came along. Via a long path, I\u2019ve ended up in BSV, the only truly functional and scalable blockchain, which is how I found Treechat (or Knovigator as it used to be known). It is a real gem of an app, and as metamitya continues to develop it, I can see it becoming much more than social media. He adds functionality to it almost weekly, so you\u2019ll often find new buttons appearing. I love that he\u2019s integrated AI into it in various forms. If you\u2019ve deep knowledge on a subject, this is a terrific place to share it, or even private notes for yourself. I started writing my first novel on here, as a way of organising the information and all the snippets I had written. So how did you come to mud hut building, and do you live in it full time? I think they are the future of building in some real senses, especially as rising costs drive us to make other lifestyles. As I said in an earlier post, our oldest surviving and by far the most beautiful buildings in the UK are built this way and are usually listed as a consequence, making them protected against change and destruction. Sorry for all the rambling, but you\u2019ve reminded me of my childhood self and obsession with hand built buildings and organic structures. So much here to celebrate.",

You sound very sane and satiated by the fullness of life such that you can reach forward into the future and embrace it all and express yourself and be heard . Much respect to you for the creation of your cave in your garage. A cosy little space is where it\u2019s at.. Thanks for sharing those childhood memories- they triggered more of mine. This path of Mud Fun first opened up in my heart and mind after seeing a bunch of people in a remote village in the Solomon Islands build a beautiful hand woven house together in a festive way with all ages involved,  lots of singing and an audience and food sharing. Years later the memory came back to me while I was in the USA in an artistic community-elevating vibes setting. At the same time I discovered earth and mud as a building material. I\u2019ve mainly been experimenting with the mix of mud and music to transform the whole work vibe into playful, interactive entertainment for all ages - to emulate what I experienced in the Solomon Islands but with mud. I found out later that festive earthen building is still a thing in Africa. During Covid I was prevented from running my Musical Mudstomp events in public  so I did it here in private land and the sleeping pod cubby evolved from that. It\u2019s where I prefer to sleep now.",
