I was reading a book on living off the grid and it mentioned a Navajo Hogan. I thought to myself 'what is that?' and looked it up.
They are neat, sustainable and look easy to build.
Here are a some pics of a strawbale hogan being built

I think if I manage to go off-grid (need land first) and build myself a home, even a temporary quick, easy and cheap one, this is very do-able. I love it.
