super-neo-techno-wigwams

[xenobard]

I was thinking about how cool it would be to live in a wigwam!  Especially with the hot native girl the pic here:




Now, although the girl is nice enough, the wigwam in the pic isn't exactly what i had in mind.  See, I've sort of grown too accustomed to all the modern conveiniences of modern living.  And so I'm thinking it would be cool to combine a bunch of these geek-contraptions and apparatii with the  wigwam idea and create a wigwam on steroids: super-neo-techno-wigwams with airconditioning, washing machines, refridgerators, washer /  dryers, satelite internet, and every other modern conveinience you could think of and have it all powered by solar panels (the super-neo-techno-wigwam panels) and wind power (we could connect a wind-power generator to the frame), and lastly make it all easily assembled / disassembled and transportable.

What do you all think?

Change the name ,but not the mission, from   www.containerliving.com  to "wigwamliving" ,
think or experiment with modern materials like  www.shelterdomes.co.uk
try Yurts/Ger for the alternative living,
but the easiest way would be an organized  "summer camp",with all the urban,modern, infrastructure equipped with "survival trainees" ! Theory and Practice .

You would really want to look at something a little more modernized like container living, or subterranean shelter. To be frank: mud, sticks, and straw won't be up to builders code these days, and the size/building methods of wigwams is feeble when compared to the long houses or teepees of the plains indians. How would living in wigwams: lower polution, lessen energy consumption, or offer any tangible benefit?
