Just had a thought: Your fridges in the kitchen are working extra hard as they are circulating the rejected heat into the same room in summer months. Cut a vent in the wall behind them that you can close off, that way you can close it in winter to benefit from the heat and in summer leave it open so they run more efficiently and make the room more comfortable to work in.

Aussie bush firefighter here. Love to hear what your fire plan is - how you will alert people, who will do what, are you planning to protect some assets or just evacuate? A practice drill is a good idea so you know how long it will take, and iron out any issues.

Liked the update. The sap is an attempt by the tree to rebark itself. You can drill a vertical hole through the stump into the heart root and it will kill the tree. When the heart root is breached(or cracked), water pressure can't be maintained and the tree dries out.

Be careful with the mimosa tree sap. It’s highly flammable and with it exposed it makes the tree a long burning torch. You can scrap the sap off and use it as an excellent fire starter. You could also build a sharpening stone mini table for the tool sharpening person to do it without cuts. You should never hold the stone while sharpening. Cheers!

Actually this species of Acacia is on the Fire Retardant Plants List of Australian Plants Society! They mention that Acacia dealbata (silver wattle) has a low flammability rating so is well suited for screening in fire prone areas. Acacias burn with catastrophic consequences in Portugal because there are no native predators and due to their tendency to sprout densely through runners after being cut or burned. It's also a tree that accumulates a thick combustible layer of leaves and seeds underneath. Its sap is water-soluble and is not flammable like that of eucalyptus, pine or most aromatic Mediterranean shrubs.

If they would have planted Kiri-trees they can cut the trees in 10 years having 15 meter tall and 40 cm trunks then. Carpenters love that light wood to make furniture of it.

I would move the version 1 of the tent to basecamp and use it as changing room or something next to the shower. In the vans or tents where people are staying there might not always be much room, but using the tent for this purpose would be a nice change. And could speed up the waiting time for the shower as wel. And is also more pleasant on rainy and/or cold days. And then version 2 of tent later on can be used for actual staying in project camp for some time.

This episode gave me a better understanding of the layout of the land! Really cool you took that in one shot! :) Keep safe during the hot weather and keep drinking enough water, guys!

Here is a suggestion to keep the heat off of the metal buildings/vehicles. Build a sperate roof over them about half a meter above, this keeps sunlight directly off the building itself as well as allow space for airflow beneath the 'roof' and above the structures. Do NOT do black roofing, black absorbs light and then radiates it. Do white on top to reflect light and maybe black under neither that to 'black out' remaining sunlight that might pass through the white (depending on thickness). There was a reason Native Americans had white teepees.

So strange there is no reaction from the Kamp people to those useful comments.

Two things: that resin below the cuts on those mimosa trees is probably highly flammable. If you cut off a small log from the tree just below where the resin has flowed, it would make good fire starting material. (Guess.) And two: if you can, look below the old cork tree and other established native trees in the area. Look for seedlings from these trees and pot them up. Do this consistently and soon you will have plenty of materials to replant the native woodland.

the way everyone you talked to made it to the lagoon before you make this feel like a movie lol

You have done a great service to everyone who lives in the watershed by cleaning the sediment from the pool and repairing the sluice gate so it is operable. The ponded water is feeding the groundwater table for everyone who lives downstream. It is now clear that during the summer months, there is not enough flow to power a 500 watt hydro turbine downstream near the guest tent. So it remains that this water source could be 3 season power source to supplement your grid during the periods when their are more overcast days, the sun is lower on the horizon and the solar day is shorter. Add a 500 watt wind turbine located at the highest point of the land. Then you will have a true distributed generation grid. You will not be relying on one source of power and 2 of your 3 generators can operate 24/7. A great capability for charging batteries.

Very glad you've acquired that "land inside your land".

A Suggestion: Since your land is dry, it would be a good idea to add more rainwater harvesting infrastructure such as swales, continuous contour trenches (both shallow and deep) also loose boulder structures which slows water down (which you're already mimicking by piling the chopped down mimosa trees through the forest) and also recharge pits. Adding these throughout the land would massively help in sustainable living, would secure water availability for every person living on the land (recharging wells), and prevent forest fires by preventing the land from drying out. Plus the recharge pits could act as emergency water for if the forest were to catch on fire.

Acacia dealbata resin can be used like regular gum arabic. I'm not entirely sure it's 100% edible, but when used in arts and crafts, it perfectly replaces the more common varieties extracted from Acacia senegal and Acacia nilotica. I've been using it for almost thirty years! It can be used as paper glue; as a binder in watercolors and gouache; for certain engraving techniques and papié-maché. But be careful, once it dries it is not waterproof like acrylic paint! Let the resin exude from the trunks and branches until it forms large balls or manageable drips. Then, collect and soak it in a clean container with some warm or hot water. Leave it until all the resin dissolves and then filter it onto a tray lined with cling film. Place in a sheltered, warm place to evaporate. Note that the longer the soaking, the more the wood tannins will dye the solution, darkening the resulting gum.

I know you guys have said in the past that you don’t have a clearly defined goal. I want to point out an observation I’ve made though. Weather you’ve done it on purpose or not, you’ve attracted/created a community of people who love the idea of people just doing their own thing and being self sufficient and clean, living off the land and the generosity of the warm hearted communities you guys thrive in. As a group, you guys are doing something that is admirable on so many levels, something that screams to a place deep in my heart. With no labels or agendas you guys are living authentically in a world that is completely fake. And to top it off, you were smart enough to document the entire process. I don’t want to make this too long. I just want to finish off by saying I wish there was a project kamp style compound near me. Personally I lack the funds, support, knowledge, and the bravery to do something like this. As a source of revenue it would be amazing to see you guys set up a training program that teaches people how to live like this and how to survive with others like this, maybe even an extended course that teaches people how to start their own camp, and provide a platform for like minded individuals to link up in a safe space to collaborate and learn from each other.

I love this more vlog style format which reminds me of the early days of this channel. The other highly edited videos are fine too but somehow like this style better. Nice to hear Dave again too especially with his “coool”.

you could definitly use the place where you said you would eventually have your party in order to plant and grow a few vegetables because having to water everyday wouldn't be a problem since you have the well and the creek close by and you can just take a bit of water from there.

I love how you guys are practicing the 'it takes a village to raise a child' idea

A very interesting overview. Congratulations on finally being able to buy the middle land. Amazing to watch things progress.

You should cultivate the land they have prepared for that, make a small greenhouse where they can grow some vegetables and do a study on what to plant outside of it, since you already have experience in harvesting potatoes and your own neighbors can help you, they would have a source of income from greening it, and also from food.

Turn the two large grass fields into a source of income. Make a contract with a local farmer to use no till farming and no chemical inputs on your two fields (seeds must be planted with a seed drill) up until the time you have a use for them. Plant two crops (one for each field and alternate each season). Plant one in corn and plant the second in soybeans. Soybeans and corn have a symbiotic relationship, the crops will not be stripping all of the nutrients out of the field and the chaff and roots that are left on the fields will enrich the soil. Corn and soybeans are the two highest value grain crops and the bottom land that makes up these two hay pastures is rich deep soil.

happy to see yall installing biogas, I'd been thinking about how it would be a good idea to expand further into the winter and supply the stoves

Great to see you all again. I didn't appreciate before, how hilly the Kamp is. I can see it better now the minosa has been cut back. Good to see the pig trailer (I mean level 2 dwelling) coming on. So pleased you bought the middle land. And so pleased you have a lagoon to cool off in. Great work, Peace and Love. Pete

Hi guys! You could use the resin from the bare Mimossa tree trunks to fill the gaps in the canvas tent floor. Keep up the good work!

In regards to your resin, you can collect the resin in chunks then tamp it into a block, you can then use your tamp of resin to coat rope, to stop it drying out in the sun and fraying as well as tent cords and so forth. it will also somewhat waterproof screws that are not galvanised/stainless steel so you can put it on bolts and latches as a cheap rust displacer. if your block is getting too dry, you can simply put in on a hot pan or near a fire for a few seconds to soften the resin back up depending on species of tree.

Nifty video this week dudes. I will offer 3 observations. Why not put the recycled plastic pannels on the floor of your tent project and maybe a 100cm perpendicular around the edges for critter proofness. The mimosa resin, does it have a pleasant burning aroma? Harvest and blend it into an incence to market. Another tack would be to have an archeological dig along those older walls maybe as part of a kamp fest in the future.

Awesome episode y'all. Gave me a much better idea for how the land connects together. Also really inspiring to see you're making it work with a baby over there. Can't be easy, great props to the parents and everybody else. Would love to see a deeper dive on how they+you deal with those challenges. It's inspiring to see how you're balancing building a community, building actual infrastructure, doing research, keeping up a successful youtube channel and also have something of a personal life. I tend to want to do too many things at the same time and seeing the way you structure things at project kamp helps put my own challenges in perspective.

The girls are always working hard. congratulations to the lady with the red t shirt. seeen her doing work on the house, the lagoon, well, clearing the land...always doing something. the stumps left behind seem like a hazard , always in danger to trip and fall.

I think she lives on the land now ! Her name is Julie, and yes she does seem hard at work

Hello guys! I had some ideas that might help you with some things. So, I think that the first thing I would change is to stop cleaning off plants the surroundings of water bodies - I know it is more pleasent to our eyes, but it accelerates the erosion and can diminish its "lifespan". Second thing I'd do is to paint the outside of the containers and the black plastic being used as roof with non-toxic "thermal" white paint to ameliorate the temperature. Another thing is to use the Mimosa spp. branches as compost to other plants you can eat or grow - maybe, in the beginning, try to brake it into little pieces like you did in another video, I guess. About the area you have that is covered in "grass", you could try to start a agroforestry system and, with the right management, it would produce a lot, because you have a lot of water available during winter and water bodies distributed on the land. I also saw that you are very worried about fires too and you guys could have a brigade training to control the fire even after it is already on. I always think about solutions that involve water, but in your situation I don't know if it is possible or affordable. It might be possible to cover with native and appropriate grass the pathways you created so it don't erode either. Anyways, english is not my mother language and it may have some errors in this text, but I guess you'll get the point. Hopefully you see this. Nice job you're doing there, I got really excited about it. Watched the 1 year, 2 years and 2,5 years videos in a row!

You’ve come so far! It looks amazing! My favorite was seeing the baby. Congratulations on the land.

Congratulations, landowners again - finally, what a thrill. Now the camp is to be expanded and developed further. Greetings from Sweden 🙂

Hello ProkectKampers ! That was a nice video ! I enjoyed seeing it in one shot. It helps figure out the distance and what different things people are doing at the same time.

This was the first video I watched, and now, after binging the previous 92 at double speed, it's so nice to come back to and recognize all the different projects that I did not know about the first time. Not a second goes by where you can't see many different things you documented working on.

Loved this video! Hopefully this could be a more regular thing like every year or perhaps every few months to show all the changes with the passing seasons! Also well done Dave, he’s always been so good at presenting and to do what was probably close to an hour straight is pretty hard 😅

The big peice of land seems like the perfect place to experiment with larger scale farming. Perhaps growing things that do not transport very well. It seems like you have all the veggies you need, though - is there something you're missing?

This feels like an intro to a video game, lovely introduction part where you are screenlocked until something horrible happens and the game starts lol

Very impressive! One take is great.

You might need to scale up the solar..and convert the surplus sun heat to good use..install some desert airt coolers/misters to lower the temperature down around camp

@ProjectKamp - Research solar chimneys. You could passively cool those containers by drawing air out of the top through a chimney-like structure. This will at least get the conductive heat removed by providing a continuous airflow.

At the moment I'm watching this video, the temperature here in Portugal has dropped significantly, perhaps 5º C below what it was. This past weekend there was hail and rain in the north of Portugal, so you must be shivering from the cold right now 😀

Congratulations on buying the middle land. Enjoyed the tour!
