I'm thinking a cinder block wall with rebar run through the holes then pour concrete into the holes. That should keep the wall stable no? And might make the pours easier as you can do one "hole" at a time. I like your wall idea but am thinking pouring a lot of concrete by yourself would be difficult at best.

Nate, those things would be way over kill, and are very heavy to transport. Cement concrete, either poured or block wall is my vote.

Maybe poor his own blocks?

Make a mold you can fill with 1 mixer batch.

Just think of all the uses and good Pre Ranger training.

Having been in and out of the farm pulling a 30' camper, all I can say is that WHATEVER method of construction is used won't be convenient as far as getting the materials to the site.

The 1/4 to 3/4 mile "road" (goat path) took a good 15 minutes or so to traverse and I had serious moments of pause wondering what I was about to tear off the trailer with each successive hump, twist and turn.  Qualifying as the closest to my limit of extreme off-roading with a normal camper that I will probably experience before I'd switch to one of those "expedition" style pop-up campers with jacked up suspension and armor.

If you go with block walls you have to stagger the seams. Im no brick layer but I worked for one in high school. Hardly makes me an expert in the field. The old guy said you always stagger the seams. No rebar either. We stuck rebar in the footing every so far I don't remember every 3 foot or so. About 6 inches sticking out. The first course was filled with concrete then after that just start building.

My house is poured walls. I like that. Put up the forms, brace it up, pump in concrete done. You are out in the boonies but you would be surprised where they can get into with the pump truck. Of course it takes money. If you are mixing your own concrete that's not an option.

Not for this project Mr. Nate.

It's just a simple walkout thing, Poured-solid blocks with rebar should do the trick

Yea, my way-too-big house has poured walls as well...10 foot basement height!

THey told me they poured 70 yards of crete just in the footers and walls. Probably that much more for the floors everywhere!
