And if for some reason, in your frontier scenario, you have plywood and bracing material, you could go with a rammed earth structure!

I just learned about rammed earth and got a few books about it, it’s so fucking cool. I want to build a house with it now, so my great great great great great grandkids can inherit it

Two options, patient and impatient. Patient is taking the time to properly apply the many the recommended coats of tung oil, since I’ve got some that’s cut with citrus oil and it looks and smells heavenly. Impatient is a 50/50 beeswax and mineral oil mix I made, quick and easy to apply, 85% as good looking as the tung oil, with like 1% the effort
