jeej we can now get a Tractor. Or digger! 🎉
We're doubting what makes more sense for us, let us know what you think on this link:
community.projectkamp.com/research/should-we-get-a-tractor-to-work-on-the-land
Might be best to rent for now. Do any of you have experience with machines this big? The land is still quite raw as well. Just make sure you can safely navigate a tractor or digger around the property first. Access is really important.
Could you add a Backhoe Tractor to the comparison list?
Without a doubt you get a tractor, its versatility with the proper implements will fit your needs and more, especially if you plan in the future to do food plots or general land maintenance. Implements or attachments for the tractors would be cheaper than skid steer ones and most likely you'd be able to find used ones near agricultural oriented communities. If you were to get a skid steer judging by your terrain you'd benefit from having a tracked model (which is more expensive) as opposed to a wheeled one if you were to go off road or in the woods. As far as a backhoe you could consider looking into backhoe attachments for the tractor as well, most models are designed to be attached and detached rather simply, also they have stump grinders for tractors now as well. One thing to keep in mind with a tractor is this, its not a dozer, not a skid steer, not a fork lift, not a backhoe etc, but it CAN perform most if not all those tasks just not as quickly and to a lesser degree of power.
Also grab some kevlar ppe chaps for when your using that stihl chainsaw.
@@westnile1553I was going to say some of the same things. You did it a lot better though. I agree that a tractor would be a better purchase. It's versatility would make it ideal for their needs. Also, get a bushhog, so your not always going back and clearing places that you've already cleared in the past.
Great video. I like the longer ones too. 😁
How about a mini digger or even a micro digger? They are somewhat affordable and extremely convenient, although a tractor will be a lot more versatile and useful in the long run.
Hello Team project kamp ! I know you are really strict on the sponsored vidéos you want to make but honestly I would be happy with more sponsored vidéos if it means better equipments for you ! I know you will be transparent and cautious so if you can, please do more of them for project kamp's healthy growth !
Agreed! If this is a way we can help you, bring it on!
Agreed!
Yes do more sponsored ads. This way you get most of the money and not only UA-cam
Agreed! Absolutely don’t mind the ads knowing it is supporting the work you all are doing. Very much enjoy watching all the updates…ads and all 😊
They probably can't find more suitable sponsors yet. Most companies that are doing influencer marketing right now don't have a fitting philosophy. Some of the bigger ones promote unnecessary waste, exploitation or sell people's data in shady ways. I'm a much smaller influencer but most of the brands that reach out to me are ones that I'd never ever promote with a clear conscience unfortunately :(
Regarding your Asian Hornet nest... You had it destroyed fairly late in the season so there is a strong chance that some new Foundress Queens were hatched and left the nest to hibernate for the winter. If so, they will be in the undergrowth nearby. Next year they will emerge to found new nests and your problems will get worse. You should try trapping and killing the new Queens in Feb/March. I believe they will emerge after roughly 3 consecutive days that reach more than 14C. Find advice online about Queen trapping and how to make traps.
Great job! The pig trailer house is really beautiful...
I have a suggestion: for the next season, could it be possible to add a little clock during timelapse, to have an idea of the real time elapsing? This way, we would have a better idea of the huge work it can be to clear bushes, renovate something, etc...
I'm always wondering that too! We get the easy fast version but I know its HOURS of hard labor! Can't believe how quickly all that stuff grows back.
Gotta say... I was super skeptical about the pig trailer, but it has turned out WAY nicer than I imagined! great work, you guys!
I‘m happy for every advertisement I see on this channel cause I can’t wait to see the progress once there is a big tractor in camp. Kind of sad it’s the last ad but happy to see what’s coming now
would love to see you guys growing your own food and testing ecological farming on your own lands :)
I think they mentioned in one of the updates that they're supporting Nuno's farm by being his customers. It makes more sense
@@akay48Both can be true. A food forest with edible wild spieces would be great on several level :-)
And mushrooms. Mushrooms allways good :-)
me too
I’m thinking hemp farming, a polymer of recycled plastic and hemp fiber would make some very mighty building materials!
@@akay48 producing your own is almost always better idea ie makes more sense.
I've never saw anyone so happy finding old tires on his property..:D
Love the longer videos with different project updates.
Truly hope youre going to read this. But you have to leave a gap between the wooden walls and marble. The marble will get hot and transfer the heat to the wooden walls without insulation!!
30:16 Yes! A small air gap behind the stone and under the metal (so air could circulate around it and then around the room) and then insulation against the wood would be a much better design.
ALSO- ** the screws ** going directly into the wood will transfer the heat quickly and efficiently (and dangerously).
Looks like they want to claim insurance money as fast as possible. And they should already change the name of the channel to "Project Willage" cause they are now even making community center.
They should use metal framing between the stone and the walls. Screw the metal framing into the walls and then screw the stone into the metal framing.

Well done on trailer. it might be a good idea to add little roof above the front door. So when it rains the door would not rot
A bit of sketchy chainsaw work on those big trees. I don’t want to judge without being there, but it looks like you guys could do with a basic faller’s course. That barber chair at 4:44 is super dangerous. A few very basic tree falling lessons could save someone from being badly hurt. Love from a tree faller in British Columbia
I agree at least watxh some youtube on under cuts and back cuts and wedging .
One tiny thing
I personally would put up a CO warning device into the pig trailer home. You never know how airtight a stove is and CO kills silently.
Should also be a cheap and easy upgrade.
Nice build anyway, I love how it turned out
I've been following you from day one. I really think you should bring some sheep and goats to the project. They will eat all that grass and keep it from spreading. It will serve as a protection from fires and has many benefits.
Donkeys are great with small trees as well and can really help with your mimosas problem.
It’s sad that it’s nearly the end of another season, I don’t know what I’ll watch for the next few months! But I’m looking forward to next season 😊
try camp out west or smooth gefixt ( build an iron age stone round house in the west of Ireland )
Totally agree.
@@Engie50Limerickthanks for the recommendation
@@tbnalfaro 😀😀
That “general work” crew is amazing…..they are tireless and dedicated to the necessary work of beating back nature……I live in the woods and have a little experience with this….it takes a lot of ecological destruction to stop the earth from replenishing itself 😏
Would it be possible to have a bi-monthly or monthly sweep of cleared areas to keep trees and nettles from growing back? It seems like a lot of work to clear some land, and then have to re-clear it six months or a year later. Coming in once a month or so with a weed wacker would be a lot easier.
If you need to better protect the walls behind the stove, get sheet metal and attach it to the wall with long screws through about 5 cm pipe stand-offs. The sheet metal lower edge is 5 cm or so off the floor. Air can circulate between the metal and the granite. I've had this arrangement for years behind my wood stove without problems. New House looks fantastic!
Suggestion: The total work will be reduced if you clear brambles and mimosa more regularly! Cut everything when it's still small enough to do with a brush cutter, that way you don't have the hassle with chainsaws and moving logs etc. Divide the property into areas to be maintained and make a schedule so that every area is cut once every two months. Then schedule a couple of hours every week for this maintenance. Over a few years you'll be able to work out what's the most efficient schedule.
Less garden maintenance means more time for other projects!
When sealing something with sealant caulk the best way is to put an excessive amount on the surface you are going to seal. When connecting both surfaces you'll push out all excessive caulk (and therefore knowing the whole connection is sealed), the leftover caulk you can remove with an putty knife and some soap water or with an petroleum based solvent. This is also the way we install roof windows, hatches and such in campervans. We never got a customer back with a leakage.
I keep thinking that pig house needs a screened front porch, which would be a great place to store food that needs to be kept cool during the winter and supplies that need just a bit of shelter at other times. It would be a great place for sleeping and gathering when it is hot outside. A porch would also allow for overflow sleeping areas when there are so many people in the camp, and be a general respite from flies, bugs and vermin.
When cutting trees you need to cut out a notch/wedge on the side you want it to fall, and in the direction of where you want the tree to fall. Cut 1/4 - 1/3rd of the tree diameter. After you take out the wedge, Then you cut from the back horizontal; at the same height as the corner of the notch. I noticed a couple "widow makers" when the tree was falling.
I was thinking the same thing. They got away with it on earlier episodes because the "trees" were really just tall shrubs size, but this time some of them were large enough to need the notch and wedge.
With the wood stove, would it have been more energy efficient to keep more of the chimney inside the building and exit at the top of the wall or through the roof? That way much of the hot smoke and gases in the chimney would heat the inside of the building rather than the air outside.
That is a fact, jack!
also it would extract far better, like this its hard for gases to gain velocity i would think
You know what you needed to control the plants around the community center? Some GOATS!
Goats are the goat
Maybe a industrial wood chipper would help in the long run for a lot of the projects -Gardening -Composting -Toilet -Mulching (Could be used on the walking paths as well). I love the work you all are doing.
Love your videos and have watched everything one. Next season you need to get a forester out there to do a basic chainsaw use course on trees. The big mimosa trees were cut down dangerously, and that could lead to a huge injury.
Agree 100%. That seemed to be dangerously. Really happy that nobody was hurt.
Hoorah!! The pig trailer home is complete! I look forward to how the light switches work over time, so good to see plastic re-used.
You guys should get a chipper!
When installing a stainless steel chimney,what was the thinking by going through the vertical wall instead of capturing the heat and going through the roof .
At least going through the wall at the very top.
I love the variety of content this channel offers all while staying in a general overarching theme. We get to see renovations, building, yard work, cooking, environmental, innovation, social activities, interesting people, and more.. but it never feels out of place.
A tree pulling come a long might be useful for you to remove the stumps. Here on our farm we use a hydraulic one but there are several less fancy models that might work well for you.
As others have commented, you REALLY need to redo the marble/granite/metal so that it has an air gap or insulation between it and the wood. The screws also aren't a good idea because they'll conduct the heat directly into the wood. At the moment this is a serious safety hazard.
Don't bother. At this point, it's pretty clear that everything they do is just for show
You guys are nuts. Look at the size of fireplace and think how big the flame would be in that little fireplace. Also fireplace is away from the walls in all directions so that's not gonna be an issue.
@@TNT-ml1ll Why comment about something you clearly don't understand? A wood burning stove can reach upwards of 350c and output a tremendous amount of heat. The ignition temperature for wood can be in the low 200s, it's dependent on the heat flux. The heat from the wood burner will easily radiate over the short distance from the metal stove into the granite and marble. Both of which have very high heat capacity. That stored heat can then easily be conducted into the wood and get it to the charring or ignition point. Building codes require an air gap or insulation barrier to prevent heat conduction into the wood OR the wood stove needs to be significantly further away so that the radiative heating is less of an issue.
Love seeing people living a life of true creativity. Using reclaimed materials, tools and a variety of skills to create something that can model a path forward towards sustainable living.
A massive undertaking like this will take many years, and even then it will be an on-going creation of constant innovation, testing and improvements. Project Kamp is one of our favorite 21st century community development projects to watch every week. (We really miss them over the Winter months, but we know they will reappear again in the Spring.)
You folks are doing great, and every creation will get tested in real world use and with your ever-evolving skillsets you'll be able to make any adjustments that need to be done in the future.
Blessing to you all from America...
With all of the dead wood and other biomass you guys are able to harvest, along with your existing human manure composting, I am surprised that you haven't tried to replicate Terra Preta. If I understand it right, you start by digging a trench, the starting a decent-sized wood fire at the bottom to build up a large amount partially pyrolyzed and partially unburnt material, along with a healthy supply of woodash. Then, above it you add layers of biomass, compost, clay (if the local soil is deficient), soil, and apparently broken pottery. This last one isn't super-surprising as pottery can not only wick up moisture from deluges and release it over time, it can also act to break up tightly packed soil.
So, I would gather up al the broken roofing tiles from the ruins, borrow an earth-mover, and plot out a space to act as an experimental vegetable garden. In that space, dig some trenches that more-or-less follow the contour of the land a meter or so deep, piling up the removed soil on the lower side of each ditch. Fill the ditches with mimosa wood and brush too small to ever use for anything else, compacting it down a bit to get he density up, then light it all up. Once the resulting fires have burnt down to coals, cover them with a layer of soil and start building up some future soil!
There are videos that show other people's attempts to replicate these surprisingly fertile trench trash-fires, and the decent results they get even in the first year. You guys will have the advantage of having some composted human manure on-hand if noone wants to go pick up animal manure from your neighbors. The tiles can be further smashed up to replicate the potsherds found in real Terra Preta. You basically have all of the necessary parts and tools either already on your land or very close at-hand, it would be a shame if you didn't take advantage of this situation to attempt a little soil-building
very good idea, they are called "swales".... look at "the weedy garden" !
Are there not pathogen risks from using composted human waste? I hear it can take years for the pathogens to die off. Perhaps using that type of compost is best reserved for trees or ornamental plants?
@@nelsoncorreia7293 You might well be right. I have heard that the safety timescale is closer to one year than many, but that figure came from proponents of using human manure. There are ways to reduce potential pathogen exposure, of course, but they do add processing time and steps to an already labor-intensive project.
@@bearnaff9387 yeah the way I see it, there's plenty of other sources of less risky compost sources. Doesn't seem worth the risk or effort to use it in stuff you eat when you can use it for flowers or native tree growth. Plus, I'd feel more comfortable eating crops that were not grown from my poop.
On another note, the one this this project does not address at all is food, which I find strange.
You guys amaze me time and again. Wonderful craftmanship, full of colorful ideas and every little piece gets reused. What an awesome season! I am kind of happy to not be a partreon - so I can enjoy another week of waiting for the last update. Sure will support you somehow when times are better, though. ;) Cheers you wonderful people you. 💚🌻
Best ever, loved the long format for an almost season ending, and seeing all projects coming together.
I love watching you creative, hard-working people do your thing.
You really need to keep up with keeping things clean, rather than only once a year. Best bet is to add to the list of needs is a tractor and a "brush-hog", this way you can keep up with the property multiple times a season. The tractor looks to be more versitile. Get one that you can add a digger attachment to the back. This is what we used on the farms in New York USA.
Those mimosa trunks and smaller branches could make such great Beaver Dam Analogues (or even One Log Dams) at various points in the property to help resist fire and erosion even more. Definitely consider starting to set stuff like that up, particularly higher up on the waterways.
I thought your Patreon sponsors gave you an insurmountable challenge with the choice of the pig trailer and then also with the cladding. Clearly the team were up for the task and super creative. Congratulations to all, what a great job. Best wishes for your winter break. Stay safe everyone. ❤
I would suggest two major things you acquire in the near future. one being a way to mill lumber from tree to board via a portable mill. all this mimosa you have thats large enough could be harvested for boards for things not needing a lot of structural strength as i do not know the density of this hardwood. but trim board, siding slats ect. could be milled and used instead of bought. second is a skid steer with a forestry mulching head. this would allow you to harvest large trees then go in at rate of about an acre a day and clear the trees, brambles, stumps and brush growth down to mulch. even if you only rented these two pieces of equipment it would speed your work progress tremendously
Injection model using 3D printer injection molds is pretty cool! Also, I think this is the most refined built from you guys so far, really good job!
Have to wonder if the plastic is rated, switches and points are a special plastic to does not catch fire, goes brown and sorta melts, safety design,
@@streamtabulous If it can melted for recycling it's a thermoplastic rather than a thermoset resin and so is not the what is normally used for switches. It also probably won't have the fire retardants, as mostly the plastic will come from things that don't need to be fire proof.
Thank you for making my Mondays better every week
How quickly nature takes over when left alone to itself! Great job clearing away from the Community Center all the brambles, memosa trees and other downed piles of wood! I ❤ the strips of granite on the inside wall to protect it from the heat of the stove and chimney pipe. It looks great too.😊 Nice innovative ideas to use repurposed materials in the project! Over-all excellent work, Well done!👏👍❤
The pig trailer turned out super beautiful. The recycled objects give it real character. You only need Pippi Longstocking to move in.
If you have any difficulty with your stove stone lining, I would recommend you space it out from the wall and also leave a air gap underneath for cooling I say this because you can get the stone so hot it burns and you could get a fire inside.
Thanks for another update guys! Nice to see things coming together. I do find one thing frustrating - why do you keep doing the same thing? removing brambles etc. from the same places? why not pick out the roots at the end of a session - or have a daily/weekly walk around the site and remove what comes back? it seems a waste of time and energy. I know you are learning, and that is part of it - actually the part I enjoy the most. Hopefully we see even more possibilities in the next season.
Hi team Great work
I love it when you clear the land It’s a pity you can only burn the brush at certain times 🤷♂️🤷♂️ I suppose your friends and neighbours are really appreciative of the endless supplies of firewood Thank goodness for that The new shed is fabulous it will be lovely in cold weather
Well done all round
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I would love to see the beginning of planting native trees next season. The land is starting to look pretty barren with all the mimosas out
Yes indeed. And actually, ‘tis the season to plant trees across the Mediterranean basin in general. Saplings are planted in October/November, so that they manage to get established with some rainfall and before harsh winter cold sets in by mid-December. Roughly. Depends on the local/micro-climate of course.
this is amazing! who knew a pig trailer could look amazing like that! also loving the longer content thank youuuu!!!
Creativity at the highest level 💯👏👍✅❤ smooth work and good team work... Well done guys sky is the limit..... Keep it up
Great job everyone 👏👏👏👏
The new house looks awesome 👍 and with all the mimosas you have been cutting down I think you will have plenty of wood to keep you warm during the winter!
Much appreciation from Greenville, South Carolina, USA
I thoroughly enjoyed the music choices for this video, thanks editing team!
You have so much Mimosa wood around you should consider using it in decoration. Like separation walls within the center. Not sure about the strength of the wood but the big trunks look beefy.
Stopped watching for a few months. Glad to see that you're still going strong ☺☺
The scrap-wood walls are really nice! Good work.
4 ads = a tractor is a really shocking equation for my rural persona.
What a relief to see the community center cleaned up once again and the general area.
fun trick for drilling into ceramics or hard stone is to drill through a sponge that is saturated water make a bowl with clay or hot glue or place the whole piece in water. you can also glue two tubes in a water bottle and blow into one of them to control the amount of water coming out of the other tube.
So much better when you work as a group! The community aspect is what I watch for, one person doing a solo job isn’t quite it for me. But do love the project! Amazing peeps!
Ensure tires are pumped, utilities easily disconnected, firewood in basket compartments, tow or pull hitches installed. Trailer home prepared to move in an emergency (fire, blowing embers, lightening strike).
Add fire blanket, fire extinguisher to put out any heating or stove fires. Install carbon monoxide/dioxide air monitor & fire monitor. Include 1or 2 wood stove heat thermal fans. A dehumidifier to minimize condensation. Lots of unique features: mixed marble back splash, repurposed metal plate, repurposed wood bulkhead, door handles, switches and plugs, floor and siding, insulation.
Clearing land near to the future community center. Also cleaning up the inside of the community center. With all this rain and cooler weather, bush and small trees burning. Noticed a nearby stream in one of the clips. Any opportunities for a well, pond, future water storage dam?
2023 season winding down. Future pond teaser.
The Pig House is incredible! Great job!
wow, the pig trailer looks really great, well done
If you guys could show a before and after drone shot of all them mimosas you cut down this season, that would be so cool!!!
Use a couple boards to knock the brambles down so they're easier to manage. I then use a lawnmower I got free that I use just for cutting brush.
Nice work on the window trim! Looks really neatly done!
My heart aches when I see you having to recut all that vegetation. However, nearly there with a necessary machine! I particularly enjoyed all your recycling efforts this video. Congrats to the winner of the light switch competition. As usual, you all do meticulous work whatever you are working on. PS: love that old stove!
I think it would be nice if we can see whats goin on the kamp during winter with some timelapse, that would be some of effort but I think it'd be great
Wow you guys have been busy. You got loads done, and the trailer is looking absolutely stunning. I think anyone would be satisfied staying in there, and with a tractor it could be placed anywhere.👍
Top quality finish on the pig trailer well done everyone 😊
Great video this week, Kamp Project activities are really growing. Love all the recycled materials used in the colourful cabin. The off-cuts for the fire surround is unique.
It makes me so proud that a german won the light switch campaign... seems like our country still can do something right :) also I am super impressed by the amount of stuff that you guys recycle in just one trailer. The patchwork wooden wall look so nice (though tidious to clean), and I am jealous of the granit corner. Good job!
The Pig trailer is beautiful, a credit to the team. The use of recycled materials is inspirational.
Would love to know, in real time, how long did the mosaic wall take?
It's take almost one week of work for the mosaic !
Hi PK'ers! Hard work (again) at community centre! ...maybe some gosts on loan next year?
Pig trailer needs a new name! Looks fantastic and needs its own start to finish video! YT will love it! So glad you'll have some more warmth and comfort this winter. Vids getting super pro level excellence! Nice to see Dave back on the workbench...brings back season 1 memories 😊
Buy a tractor, as it will allow you to get attachments to do many things, a mower or brush hog to keep down the brambles and weeds and grass, a front loader, a post hole digger, a cultivator and plow for the garden, a wood chipper and many others. While a digger is great, the tractor would be more useful everyday.
I am not sure if it's because we all got a little bit of OCD in us, but it's so gratifying to see see the results when something is cleaned up. Well done guys, mission accomplished for this task.
So glad you got sponsors again ❤❤
I would love to see the geological survey of the area. Maybe you have harvestable materials on the land, like clay?
Who gets to sleep in the lovely new pig trailer?
P.s the guy who did the stove and made it look brand new did an amazing job
I think you should repurpose the pig trailer by taking thw cabin off it and setting it on sauna tubes . Then build a deck on the trailer . Plus on the shipping container shop add another section by adding poles ir tubing frame and another roof.
I'd add 24' to 30' pole and make communal tent building somewhere with series of 10 or 12 poles around the outside maybe 30' in diameter.
WELL DONE PROJECT KAMP KREW!!! SO CREATIVE AND RESOURCEFUL. GOD BLESS YOU ALL... GONNA MISS THE NEW POSTS. SEE YOU AFTER THE NEW YEAR.
Big Mimosa( at T.C.5.23) remove all barcks on the trunck and in over part of the Camp to destroy definitively the tree
The Super trailer home: May i suggest that you liftup withe a good jack in order place the frame trailer on good height trunck for preventing the tire of the charge of the trailer and keep the trailer at the level..
Bon courage and stay safe.
That fireplace is beautiful!! Nice work
Nice job on the pig trailer! I never would have thought it was possible! Well done!!
The trailer looks fantastic, I really like the art wall and stove fire place, be careful what plastic you use for your electric switch's and sockets it should fire resistant i think industries use some sort of chemicals☠️ that harden the plastic
Great job clearing up the community center and finishing up the pig trailer. Really enjoyable video, great work to the whole team!
I’d love to live in that cozy tiny home
Wow, fantastic! Loved watching this come together 🌿 Thanks for sharing!
I'm sat here watching you talk about big piles of brambles, and wondering how the heck you've still got an intact tshirt without a ton of holes in. Then I remember you guys have the proper tools while I'd be literally in the thick of it with hand shears and secateurs getting torn to shreds 😂
Awesome work, I've always wanted to get shipping containers and connect them into a square shape so you can have a private garden in center 😊
Excellent finish carpentry! You all worked so hard! Who gets to live there? Many good comments already from only six hours exposure.
That cabin look is hilarious but job well done!
Guys it looks amazing. You all have done so many great things around the land. Great job to everyone. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
Great job Dave on that fire place!
Wow! The colorful trailer looks amazing finished!
Very nice stove contour, very ingenious!!
Very nice video and great to see the pig trailer done! I suppose in winter there is no risk, but after that obviously be don't store firewood underneath it - if there's a forest fire, embers are likely to end up there, and have plenty of fuel to fire up the whole house. I guess you thought of this already, but if not there it is
Nice one this week. Its especially great to see the pig truck nearing completion.
Window trims looking like a wow
Concrete board underlayment and maybe a mosaic in mastic would have been better for the base, grout would fill in the spaces between and covered the irregular stone bits, also been a better heat insulator and heat sink to hold and radiate back the heat.
A wonderful job done by all. 👍👍😊❤️
