How to build a real house from sticks and mud when you can't cut down trees.
Day 7 in Tollan. You have water, fire, food and a pot, but you're still sleeping in a pile of leaves. It's rotting, you can't sit up in it, and it's made of kindling. Your first idea is a log cabin, but with a stone flake, even one tree takes forever.
So Mati shows you wattle and daub: sticks and mud, the way people have built for 6,000 years. Set six posts from the deadfall, knee deep. Push in stakes a hand apart and weave green sticks through them, over and under. Then the daub: pure clay cracks as it dries, so mix in dirt, lots of dry grass and water, stomp it into thick dough and push it through the weave from both sides. Roof it with bundles of dry grass, starting at the bottom, and let it hang well past the walls.
On the tenth night, the storm comes. The old leaf hut is soaked through. The new house stays dry, and for the first time, you can stand up inside.
