Hi all did you see the house that survived the Nepal earthquake it was made using filled bags. cannot remember what they were filled with.

They are generally filled with dirt with barb wire layed between the layers to stop it from shifting, Cheap, easily built, low material cost, easy to insulate, Tough as heck, literally bombproof! But I dont think its approved for use in nz
