I've long had the idea to build a mountain top shack, using material flown in. Using insulated concrete forms, the type that have the internal plastic grid separate from the sides, so that the foam sides transport flat, taking up little room and weight. Once on site, the ICF blocks are constructed/assembled by inserting the plastic grids, and filled with gravel instead of concrete. That's as far as I've gotten, as I realize the gravel idea for the block filler, with no rebar, wouldn't work.
Hello Matt, subscriber number 4 here. I just wanted to say that I think this video series has a lot of potential, and if done correctly, it could provide some additional funding. The location and resulting circumstances make this project much more interesting then a lot of other successful DIY construction channels on TH-cam. Keep the videos coming!
My favorite thing on the internet in a while! What a cool project! Matt, we haven't met, but I've flown with Mike Meekin. You helped me correspond with him about a booking once.

Bearhawk 5 with STOL wing and 1T useful load. You could make the house with steel beams and stones.
