Seeing all the recycling, team work and neighbor helping neighbor really starts my week off on the POSITIVE trac. Julien is a great addition to the team. I am 74 and seeing all of you young folks from different countries working together with such dedication gives me hope for the future……kudos Project Kamp…….❤️🥰

I think giving us hope for the future is one of their main goals. They created a wonderful community there.

[@tjs114]

I don't know if the PK crew has studied Mimosa at all, but it is a legume- a type of bean. And as a legume, it is a nitrogen fixer; meaning there is an absolute TON of nitrogen building up in your soil to an extent that the native trees probably are suffering from near nitrogen poisoning. So, rather than leaving all of that soil bare after cutting down the Mimosa, consider using the clear cut areas as produce growing areas for a year or two and grow things that need a lot of nitrogen-- like dark leafy greens and corn. Put that nitrogen to use and in the process, deplete it so native trees can grow again.

[@nickfosterxx]

You know this. Never leave soil bare. Nature is abundant without the need for inputs. I think you'll have the most fun this year learning two things: decision making processes for a mixed bunch of people; and how to maximise the growth of your soil, meaning the life from fungi and bacteria to invertebrates and arthropods. I'm quite jealous.

[@Barbaralee1205]

Corn needs lots of nitrogen

[@starrmont4981]

Good info; I hope they take this into account

[@dreidu]

I like that he introduced himself in french is native language. It's nice to hear other people's native language. Maybe good idea for the other new joiners that will come

[@Djuladu]

I agree with this. I hope they listen to your suggestion 😁

[@MrPlito95]

Don't feel bad about getting rid of the invasive trees! You are doing a fantastic job, both for you guys and for the environment! The ecological situation is dire in the NW Iberian forests with mimosas and eucalyptus, what you are doing is a god send! Even though those individual trees are not guilty of the situation, they dont belong in that environment and their presence is a way bigger problem than any benefit they might bring. Recovering the original Atlantic Forest is the way to go, just like you guys are doing. Keep it up!

[@eIIemenopee]

It's great seeing the new projects but I really appreciate the insights into the upkeep necessary! It might not be as flashy and exciting but it's just as important!

[@gabrielgomescunha]

I'm from the north of Portugal it's definitely a earthquake zone in 40 years I've fell 2 little ones that rattled some shelves nothing fell off or was broken. It's a granite area so the chock waves have a lot of trouble propagating so the danger of a house crumbling is close to zero. My parents house was built by my grand grandfather about a hundred years ago with random stones and mud and hasn't moved. Soooo your assessment is exaggerated.

Julien is an absolute delight 😄

[@henriburau6293]

Thought the same! 😂

[@Admirablevirus]

Notching the falling side of a tree first before cutting on the back above the notch is the correct way to fell a tree. This allows far more control on where it will fall.

[@twestgard2]

There’s a lot of skill to falling a tree: safely and in the time and location you choose, which are all related aspects of the same activity. People often don’t realize that this knowledge exists and so don’t look for it.

[@TRAVISGOLDIE]

Wait till they try to cut eucalyptus it’s a bit more challenging than mimosas

[@samu-yx8zv]

Its a good practice to always do this but for smaller trees like these mimosas its not strictly necessary, unless there is a risk of it falling on structures, where it is indeed useful to controll the direction of the fall

[@twestgard2]

@@samu-yx8zv You’re right that the risk is reduced with a smaller tree but you can see in this video that they have issues with the saw getting stuck and sometimes the falling trunk splinters. The stuck saw can kick back, and even a small tree has enough power in the splintering trunk to hit a person hard enough to injure. Worst case in the eye.

[@debdeb62065]

The cutting of the trees was for fire protection, helping the native trees, and let sunlight.

[@bulasev]

I bumped in this channel a few weeks ago... Love at first sight. I went through every single video and i got to the point where i have to wait (im)patiently for the new one every week. This project, thees happy goofy people, this attitude keeps me going. I am not happy in my job... Not particularly unhappy either... But watching you guys makes me wanna do something like this. It is wholesome to see people believe in what they do and do what they love. Keep doing what you are doing!!!

[@rolandtb3]

Clearing the mimosa. Preserving the oaks and cork trees are vital to reducing fire hazards. Spreading the mulch will help with soil conservation via biomass, shading, water retention. Larger pieces can be used for hugelkultur farming. Repurposing roofing components and applying lessons learned. Maybe as the numbers increase, expand the pizza shed area to hold more people comfortably.

[@johncooper5293]

Nice to see Julie again. I thought you might have enlarged the pizza oven area after all the effort to remove the roof! Great work.

[@sadjaxx]

Yes, it looks like you could double the size, just two more tables would be nice.

[@brandoneldridge2626]

I am from South Africa, the mimosa would probably be perfect to build a "rondawel" ,a wattle and daub type construction round house.

[@snakey319]

thank you, was asking what those straight branches are good for.

[@sadjaxx]

But then there is that fire problem ...

[@maccrimmonfiona]

Once the daub is over the wattles, fire risk reduced

[@hugendubel17]

You should turn those mimosas into biochar to use in your toilet. Reduces the smell, helps with composting and fixes carbon for thousands of years

[@BethanyMyers-wy5md]

Omg that's so smart!!

[@BigRick0761]

If I was 50 years younger, we would be with you. We look for each update with much anticipation.

[@obsoquasi]

Make sure to reinforce the beam extensions! Otherwise you just created a massive weak point in the joint! There are iron plates exactly for this.

[@TRAVISGOLDIE]

Yeah it interesting to see a cabinet maker take on carpentry

[@Dill709]

For sure! A couple of gussets or gang nail plates to help with the lateral stability.

[@stevenjones4295]

I thought it wouldn't harm to have some plates or galvanised straps, just for extra insurance

[@SomeHomies]

Also there seems some timber poking out under the roof tiles, they will rot pretty quickly. Overall a great success though, really nice work reusing that tiles from town

[@meltpels1788]

I would love to see this season end with a blooper reel. Funny moments, stumbles, the worst jokes the team makes etc.

Something really peaceful about watching you guys interact with each other and work together. Thanks for that.

[@nanositz5638]

Hey Projekt Kamp, here es a new idea on how to use some of the wood which i stumbled over during my studies: Charcoal Of course you can use it for cooking, but i was thinking about another option. Charcoal can be used to improve soil, as it has the capacity to hold in a lot of water and nutrient. So for the plant is like a sponge. I was thinking about your fruit trees or future projects regarding plant cultivation. It also is a big sink for carbon and it´s stabile in the soil for hundreds of years, which is much longer than wood-chips for example. Specially in combination with fecal matter and/or compost it´s very valuable for the soil, so you could add some of to to your compost-system. And there is also a bonus. The coal has a massiv surface and can bind a lot of the stuff which get smelly. So you could also add it to the toilets bevor using them... For this, you dont even need a chipper, there are a lot of tutorials online on how to build an oven for charcoal-making, it´s quit cheep. Of course you have to much wood to use all of the coal, but maybe your neighbors would be happy to take some and later on you can still get a chipper. :) Greeting!

[@sadjaxx]

Looks like they have more than enough for charcoal AND chipping. But there are restrictions on burning for a large part of the summer aren't there?

[@tonymonty1999]

Really great stuff with the landscaping! I just wanted to mention that very oftentimes it is bramble bushes which protect tree saplings from being eaten by herbivores. I don't think it's a coincidence that the saplings congregated near the bramble patch. It may be a good idea to build some sort of fencing around the native saplings so they don't get eaten by deer

[@perrinepiperwenn6822]

The brambles are actually the "trees nursery" 👍

[@julieann287]

After watching a Project Kamp video I am always inspired to go out and "work" my own small plot heaven, thank you!

[@lizvanwessem2055]

An idea for protecting the native species: can you get some cotton/linen fabric (something that will rot), old clothes maybe, not fit for turning into something else, but brightly coloured (maybe redye them) and rip them in to long 'ribbon' type pieces, then you can use them to tie around either one of the protective wood structures that you are putting up around the small native species, or for some of the larger native species that we saw today, maybe the main trunk of them? Could also work for other particular mimosas that you want to keep. Would help to really identify more clearly the protected ones, especially when moving around with cars etc. You might also need to give some support to the larger native species now that you've removed other wood from around them - you can google tree supports/tree ties very easily (could also use the fabric ribbons for this) but keep an eye on them to make sure they don't rub into the bark and cause injury to the tree.

[@humanbeast2255]

Very good input. As I'm becoming a forester I'd say it would also be smart if you guys start searching for trees that have sheets or where little wildlings are growing to help nature retake the territory

[@adzoutnabout888]

They also need to build large vegetable gardens to support the kamp. These could utilise the decomposed human waste as fertilizer.

[@clairedavies229]

I love the small improvements made with every project, and the fact that your decisions (where possible) are made for the long- not short-term.

[@holgerwnuck2626]

Hi guys, I really like your project. But for the future you should really learn how to fell trees properly with a chainsaw. That makes everything quicker and more efficient, but above all safer. You could cut the straight trees to two meters and use them for smaller construction projects in the future, e.g. raised beds or firewood storage. And for the larger trees, a chainsaw mill might be a good idea to cut your own boards and beams.

@ProjectKamp For the biodigester probleme, try cow manure. This is the right bacteria. Ask your neighbours if they have cows, and put it in the system. Great job guys. Cant wait for the nex weeks video :-)

[@cliveklg7739]

Surprised you didn't take the opportunity to make the pizza shack a bit larger for more people to gather. Oh for a natural mosquito repellant, plant a lot of Mint around places you gather. It is a pretty hearty plant that works as a border plant for buildings and paths, while being edible. Also a fair rodent repellant. Mint oil is strong for critters that rely on smell. So mint plants around the food storage would be wise as well, while also crushing extra leaves for its oil to spray around. Lemon grass and Lavender can also help and also are edible herbs. I'd put some recycled soft metal like tin on those upper rafter ends to prevent rot.

[@silvi9094]

I understand your mission with the mimosas. In my region we have mostly pine trees as forests, but those are all planted by humans, native is here a grassland with Erica, a few pines or birches. But we're changing the forest step by step to be more fire-resistant, because it burns here every summer. Keep up your good work!

[@markschattefor6997]

Invasive species are allways harmfull, because they don't have natural enemies in the countries where they arrive/get imported. Like rabbits in Australia, or Japanese knotweed, the grey squirrel, etc etc.

The algorithm brought me here last night. I reviewed the 4 recaps and watched all episodes of season 4 so far. So excited to keep up!!!

[@itswhatsinsidethatcounts6443]

Looks like you're making real progress with the mimosas! If it's possible, you might want to think about moving a lot of the oaks, as they'll need so much space as they grow. Doing it now while they're still young will hopefully not shock them too much, and they should reestablish without too much trouble, especially if they're given some TLC for the first season. A good idea would be to get a local arborist or horticulturist to choose which trees to transplant and where to replant them. That way, they'll get the best chance of reaching their full potential, they'll help to anchor the soil, and eventually, they'll provide some much needed shade. I really like the way you're doing a lot of the videography with the drone, as it helps to keep the general layout of the land in our minds. The view of the village is absolutely gorgeous! I love how higgledy-piggedly it is! It looks like it grew organically, and people just built in any convenient spot! It's also great that you could rescue and recycle those roof tiles, and 'all' you had to do was help your neighbour to take down his roof. That's how life should be - helping neighbours in return for them helping you. If only life were that simple....

[@michaelbuzza2095]

Like the new kampers. Good vibe this year

[@clairehuckle76]

Love the Project Kamp spirit and vibe. Just wandering if you have lots of new small oaks/native species growing close together that maybe you should dig one or two up and transplant them to another area. An inspiring community. Go PK!

[@Engie50Limerick]

suggestion....using the same type of the old tiles to make shaded sitting areas, so 2 diff tiles, 2 diff sitting areas. 1 near lagoon & 1 near pizza or office? edit... or in the future use dome to make burrows for small animals

[@nickfosterxx]

31:35 plus 4 mins. Very cool sequence. Makes me realise how the invasives would come to dominate, burn, leave a few natives, then renew, dominate, burn, and it might take centuries if ever to restore a fire resistant historic ecology, more so under climate change. You're doing to right thing!! it just takes time, two years, five years ten years, fifty years later, you will see it. Better still a century from now. Hats off to everyone at Project Kamp. Thank you.

[@rostyslavy]

Wow, nice work! Woodchipping during cutting is way more easier than dry branches from a pile. But it's doable with a sturdier machine

[@nickfosterxx]

And a chip pile from summer, with many leaves, is worth a lot more as well aged mulch, than one from winter, or from dead trees.

[@majabjorklund2353]

I am someone who feels no guilt about removing and destroying invasive species, native is best! But as you're clearing so many trees from around your living areas, I start to wonder about temperature control as the summer hits. While invasive and and a fire risk, the mimosas look to be the main source of shade and weather protection for many tents and vans. I can see that you're leaving some trees here and there, but are there also plans to restore some shade in another way to keep safe from the heat?

[@airenesmiler6624]

I wonder about the same, it would be good to consult a horticulturist that has knowledge on how to proceed to replant in order to maintain the land. It is such a long term task it needs to be well thought out and undertaken. Water retention will be so important with global climate change.

[@twestgard2]

From what I have seen, there is no lack of mimosas to shelter under. I think we just see the areas where they focus their work.

[@sadjaxx]

It would be nice if they could build some types of shade structure out of all those cut mimosas.

[@beebop4333]

SUGGESTION project kamp,install zinc strips horizontally across the tiles every 6 to 10 feet. As it rains, the zinc gets washed and runs down the tiles preventing mold and algae growth. Also, secure the rafter joists (the ones that are perpendicular to and under the batton strapping that the tiles sit on) to the large support beams so the rafters will not move. Create an awning (droppable unrolled awning) from canvas or rubber truck wrap from the junkyard to the top edge of the pizza roof that can be rolled up and down as the rain comes to keep some of the rain out bc the roof was raised

[@atheist7777]

21:30 It is ok to cut the wood to prevent water from seeping in, but that part will get wet and get damaged over time, it would be better to cover that part with something so that it does not get wet.🙂

[@matjacobs1966]

I agree with the comments. The roof now looks very good again and it would be a shame if the wood started rotting at the point of the notch. Despite the good intention, this is moving the water problem to another point. Perhaps an option is to use the old tarpaulin and tuck it under the roof tiles and then bend it around the beams and let it end slightly lower as the beams. That way the water will drip off the roof and not make the beams wet. you could also do this on the sides so the beams don't get wet there too. At the front it could be considered to make a gutter and catch the water. This has the advantage that the water doesn't splash on the ground there and creates a kind of trench in the ground where the water stays and also you can use the collected water to water the plants again. Otherwise, a top video and I am already looking forward to next week.

[@Pipieable]

@@matjacobs1966 they could use the same material (sodacans) as on the toilet roof to protect the Beams from getting wet!

[@Spatzenterror]

1:40 you should make sure (aka check) that the tiles are also approved for the roof pitch you have. 19:00 and the panicle tape is completely unsuitable for fastening. there are sturdy hooks for this. you can also simply drill a hole through the tiles and screw screws through.

You should look into if anyone nearby processes Eucalyptus leaves for their oil, or for making tea. On your Pizza hut with the new roof, think about catching the rainwater into 50-gallon barrels for washing, and any gardens you create.

When cutting the tree you could consider cutting it a bit on the side you want it to fall and then finishing the cut a bit higher up on the actual side. That way you prevent the breaking and are able to control the fall more.
