      To the above comments,
      So say people who do not understand the concept of trust and neighbourly cooperation for the benefit of all.
      For instance, we have a garage big enough for 2 large trucks and we allow our neighbour to use half of that space free of charge.
      Why you may ask and that's a fair question..
      It is because we gain in so many other different ways.

    Q&A: have you set up any kind of nursery for young native tree sprouts? When clearing the invasive mimosa you try to protect the native species and give them better growing conditions, but surely some are just in the way of the project you are doing (like clearing a road)? Do you relocate them? A nursery for young native tree plants can be set up cheaply I think. Collecting stock of these trees growing in pots for the time being so you have them ready for planting after clearing a suitable piece of land seems very worthwhile. Trees take time so the sooner you start the better!

      Asking the Patrons for input is fine. Having a bunch of strangers with no stake in the matter dictate, is not.
      The Pateons are in it for entertaining cids. I.e. complicated/weird/unusual builds. In this instance, their interests did not allign with Project Kamp's, and here's the result of that

    Now you've made that middle bit of the land accessible, it would have increased it value. I hope you've paid for it because regardless of how good the owner maybe, money is money. You've already been ripped off with the price of the pig trailer, don't get ripped off with the price of the land. Stop doing things until you've paid for it because every time you improve it, that bit of land will increase in value.

The best use for the current one might just be to re use the steel for something else or re purpose the entire enclosure as another structure. Depending on if this works out you might want to be a little cautious with the patreons at the wheel haha. Input is always fantastic but a binding referendum by people who don't have a vested interest in the actual labor is peligroso.

    the air lines will be for suspension and breaks, you don't need to worry about those. Same with the power cables. If you're never taking this on the road, then you can rip it all out without a worry. My suggestion would be 1 move it to a higher place - that low ground will likely get swampy when the rain comes, 2 get it level - onto some concrete slabs, 3 - rip everything off apart from the base, and build back up from there!

    @Epictes 10 місяців тому +1

    Hey guys!
    Now that you are beginning to remove a lot of trees, don’t forget that the ground is nog weakened even if they were invasive. Anyway I have some tips from my experience!
    Alternatively, repurpose the tree on your land - for example, a chestnut log can serve as a rustic and effective retaining wall or garden edge. Another option is to create hugelkultur garden beds by stacking logs and branches with layers of grass and leaves, which decompose over time and improve soil quality.
    For heating purposes, use certain types of wood like cherry, yew, or maple, which impart a delicious flavor to cooking when used as barbecue or pizza oven fuel. Branches can be utilized for retaining walls or supporting track sides in construction.
    Instead of burning forestry slash, consider leaving it to rot in place on the hillside, sequestering carbon and benefiting the environment. For removal, turn it into biochar, a type of carbon charcoal that enhances soil quality when produced in a low-oxygen burning process.
    Leaves from various trees can be fodder for animals, but caution is necessary as some may be poisonous. They contain nitrogen, while twigs and small branches have carbon, making them suitable for fast-decaying compost or mulch under trees or in gardens. However, be mindful of the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, as excessive carbon can deplete soil nitrogen and harm small plants.

    I'm Portuguese and I live in this country for 49 years now and let me tell you: You live in the perfect place to find reusable items.
    Here in the Algarve is very difficult to find places like those selling older stuff with loads of potential for reusing.
    Living in the South is way more expensive than living in the Centre or North of this country.

    You might request a donation of double layer brush pants for clearing the brambles and chain saw chaps to protect legs when using it. Also cut proof gloves and long gloves with gauntlets for protecting the forearm from scratches and cuts. Kevlar might not be the most sustainable material, but it is necessary for some safely applications.
    Please use safety lines on the community center roof build. Safety Professional here just trying to help.
    TIP The clothing resource might be able to sew a canvas front to jeans and produce the brush pants.

    Watching from Florida in the USA. I've been loving your videos and applaud your efforts to help the world. Thank you all so much for this! Have you all ever considered a bunk house, not for "bunks", but for sleeping in hammocks, and used for living spaces when the hammocks are not in use? Also, the privacy issue, possibly a place for folks to get away...have you considered small camping spots on the property that have a small cover, and a place for a hammock for sleeping, and a covered sitting/eating/fire pit area when the hammock is put away? Love your videos! Keep up the good work! Thank you.

    The insulated boxes could make good storage for your kitchen, especially with the addition of an AC with a thermostat override that allows it to reach a lower temp. A large water tank, like the one that you saw at the 2nd place) could make a good reservoir for use during the dry season.

    It's a Pig Trailer, use it for pigs. Put a wire fence up outside around Trailer and believe me the pigs Will clean up the surrounding foresty outside. You will have to make a Ramp at the rear of trailer for the pigs to go in and out. The side metal boxes on trailer can be used as Feed Storage Boxes for the pigs. Is there a way to run water out to trailer ? Put up a fence out about 50-75 feet from trailer. A Solar Electric fence will work fine, Pigs hate getting shocked.

    Q&A: How is the flies situation? I had the same problem back home and I fix it as follows: A container with water and some sugar, vinegar and soap (the same for the dishes) In the first 2 hours more than 20 flies drawned there. And the good thing is that you don't need to change it very often, you only need to add every few days a bit more of sugar and vinegar so you don't waste much and don't use many soap.
    Good job guys, keep on!

    Q&A Questions!
    1. How are things going on the sewage front? Lot more people there now which seems like it could greatly exacerbate the problem. Is Project Kamp leaning towards a low tech / infrastructure solution like composting, or towards a higher tech solution like a septic system?
    2. What would be the native ecosystems for the Project Kamp site? I assume there would be at least two different ones, one for the hillside, and one for along the stream.
    - In case that question isn't clear, I guess the question would be - what are the key species you would expect to see there. I know you have oaks, but which kinds. Would it develop into a forest, or more of a savanna ecosystem? What about along the water?
    3. What has gone well and what has been challenging with having so many people on site at the same time? Whats the most you've had at a time so far?
    4. The site is pretty large, with much of highly sloped and not particularly suited for more intensive human use. Is the long term vision to help those areas not directly used for humans to a more native ecosystem? - Just saw this was actually answered on the "Master Plan" section in research.

    Question for the next video: It may be WAY too early to say, but do you all have any ideas about expanding Project Kamp to other locations in a similar fashion to Precious Plastic? For example, if the current site is something like Project Kamp Alpha/Europe/Portugal, could we eventually look forward to seeing a Project Kamp Beta pop up somewhere else? I know the goal is to ‘design a more sustainable way of living’, but I wasn’t sure if there was an intention down the line to take that design and spread it around.

    The "cables" at the front are the air lines for the air brakes. you have some air tanks on the bottom of the trailer too, most the stuff under the trailer is for the air brakes. so if you have, or get a compressor motor, you have tanks.

    As you remove items from the trailer Dave, please make sure you leave the lights and wires, as well as the air lines and connections, and the brake chambers intact, if you ever want the trailer roadworthy. That kind of trailer is called a full trailer, as opposed to a semi, because of the extra axle at the front. Sweet ride dude, oink oink!

    You have all that wood i.e. Mimosa trees, you could have built a decent sized Log cabin, and insulated it with straw at less cost than a Trailer that is rusting and will not last long, at least using something like the Mimosa you will have a renewable source of wood. The trailer will have a liquid that you will have to dispose of like Break Fluid.

      I wonder if they have permit restrictions, that are negated by the structure being mobile, like built on a trailer or being a movable shipping container?
      A permanent structure like a cabin or house would be less desirable then?
      If not, I totally agree, love a nice log cabin

    • @DavidSuttoninSpain
      @DavidSuttoninSpain 10 місяців тому +1

      @@J.sh_CDN I lived in Spain for 14 years and building a Log cabin was classed as a non-permanent abode, Spain and Portugal have similar rules where abodes are licensed, They have an abundance of Mimosa and a constant supply as it grows very quickly, it seems a shame that they are buying a rusting hulk to refurbish, then live in.

      @DavidSuttoninSpain Really??? That is absolutely awesome then! One of my favourite things to watch is log cabin building. It sounds like a really good idea then to make a few of those, maybe with some plaster too for added protection
      Even if it just built the walls and frame, to be able to just add the roof and floors out of more modern material sounds wonderful

    after seeing the whole layout of the land they should focus on facility allocation on where to put them and what facilities they should focus on building like a green house for the native tree sprouts that they found while they explore more of there land and a space for farming area since the main base camp is already becoming congested with all there recent builds

  • @mallahat

    Hi I'm biologist and got an idea about this chopping, repetitive tasks. And potentially attacking mimosa challenge too. How is your natural water system? Did you measured how much water you have in the dry and the wet seasons? And what is your terrain elevation (even a meter difference here and there does a job). You have shoved some water channels/streams/lake going from or just being round the waterfall. So the water can do the job for you by flooding some lower grounds and generating so called periodic swamps. What happens then the vegetation which is not 'swampy' dies out and does not regrow and vegetation which is typical for periodic swamps grows in such terrain. If there is no 'swampy' vegetation the approach is to cut down the existing vegetation from the land in stripes, and plant some swamp vegetation and flood the terrain. This way you'll also create habitat for amphibians, birds, insects (potentially mosquitoes too). All requires research starting from if terrain is suited for flooding: elevation, size so you don't flood basecamp for example. Then check on native Portuguese swampy vegetation and source them. Everything which does not naturally grow on swamps, so ferns, bramble will not survive and potentially mimosa too. P.S Ive read you can make a tea from mimosa flowers, but there are 200 species so I'd ask an expert in the mimosa field first. P.S goats eat brambles and then there are just 'sticks' to remove, they are used in forests where forest floor is dominated in brumbles.

    If someone already commented, my apologies but I wanted to address some of your trailer questions. That crank handle should operate the trailer stands when the truck isn’t attached. The cables would attach to the truck providing the electrical connections for the lights and that empty box is for storing tools. Finally the shot of those drums at the back end should be for the trailer air brakes. This is from an American trucking perspective, not sure if things are different overseas.

    Hey folks, your workin hard and it shows!! Mathias you are slamming some serious work!! The mimosa waste could be made into char for BIOCHAR-or terra pretta. It can rejuvenate your soils that the trees have depleted. Research it and look at the long term benefits!! I have videos showing the use in my garden that is truly amazing!! So the trees wont go to waste or become an eye sore or problem that builds up-
