container living?  it doesn't seem containers are very portable.

And when did I say that the wigwams I'm talking about have to be made out of sticks and mud?  Why do you assume that?

I thought I made it clear that the wigwam roof / walls would be made of solar-panels.

Sticks, staw and mud is how a wig wam is made... thats why I assumed.
So you plan on building it with what then?

I'm just confused by the idea all together...
What is the advantage or benefit of living in a wig wam? As in How will living in wig wams benefit mankind? Also where is the concept in this idea that improves efficiency or collects power?

@Dingus: Mixing lime and hemp creates an ecological type of concrete that sequesters CO2. It is a far more efficient way of fixing carbon than planting trees. Not so far removed from mud and sticks, really.

@xenobard: how can you aim to be ascetic and have all mod cons at the same time? An ascetic consumer is an oxymoron.

Hello Dingus Mungus,
I think xenobard is also in the search-phase,
so let him try to find his own solution.
Wigwam(or Tipi) and "modern comfort": his "best-of-all"-trial.
