Turning Clay Into a Real House in Days
💡 When Mud Means Survival
Dirt—it's nature's survival toolkit. Transforming mud into shelter can shield you from deadly exposure in 72 hours flat. Indigenous cultures have used clay shelters for centuries - not as cute glamping pods, but as life-saving temporary refuge. With just water and bare hands, you can create basic protection from wind, rain and sun in under three days.

When Not To Use Clay
Remember it!
The Rulebook : When Clay Fails
1) Flood zones (melts like sugar); 2) Freezing temps (expands when wet);3) Bear country (they'll smell your food anyway). If your hands bleed from mixing, switch to rock shelters or debris huts.
