When my grandmother was 78 years old she would go out in both the cool of the morning and the cool of the evening and cut blackberry plants. She took time to make sure the spring holes were deep enough to catch water and easy for both sheep and cattle to drink. She didn't think about reading all day or watching television. She enjoyed knowing she was taking care of her property. She kept it optimized for food plants for both her cattle and sheep. It was what would be considered the perfect balance of silviculture today. It was beautiful with half on the hills and half on the flats. People would say, "Margaret, why do you work so hard every day? Your place is beautiful." She would just smile, shrug her shoulders, and say she liked to. She knew that if she stopped nurturing the trees, water flow, and cutting back the aggressive brambles and invasives her place would be overrun in a year. I compliment and applaud a group of people, and this guy specifically, who have found the joy of putting some intentional sweat in to make something beautiful, productive and healthy. Grandmother had 300 acres (121 Hectares). She worked long enough each day to completely go over it once each year. She lived until she was 99 and worked at this pace even to her last year when cancer got her. This kept her spry and nobody in the area had a better animal production than she did in what constantly looked like paradise. Did you read this entire thing... this monologue is just a thanks for reminding me of a tough kind old lady who changed my life for the better. Keep it up Kamp people.

It was sold in the mid 1980s. She had the opportunity to transition with money to live on without the burden of managing animals to keep the taxes paid. She was able to purchase about 15 acres in the community where she was born to live out her last years with my mom taking care of her (without her realizing she was being taken care of). She lived until she was 99. She was about 90 when she moved to the 15 acre property and spent her last 9 years making much smaller rounds twice a day. Another comment about this lady. She was not my mother's natural mom. She was hired as a nanny to my mom and her siblings when my natural grandmother died of the Spanish Flu during the world wide plague in 1920. She was married to my natural grandfather when she was 16 (her boss) after taking care of his children for three years. When the depression hit in 1929 my grandfather abandoned them to strike it rich in the gold fields of Washington and then floated off to California on his own leaving his children with this girl now just 21. They traveled in a truck doing field work in the Yakima valley for about seven years before finding a place to plant. She continued to be the only stable thing my mom and her siblings ever knew. Her hard working and indomitable spirit attracted a rugged but kind man who later was the only grandfather I knew. I had no idea he was my "step-step" grandpa or that she was not my mom's natural mother. He died about 10 years before she sold that property they had purchased together.

[@backpages1]

Just for grins, when you begin clearing, especially around the older stone ruins, go around the outside with a metal detector for any possible coins, etc., paying special attention to doorways, pathways, and such. People in the 1800’s, early 1900’s didn’t trust banks very much and frequently buried money, coins, and forgot where they buried it. Just a thought.

that was my first thought but the only entrance for each of the sections is a small door so a stable wouldnt make sense. stables i've seen usually have a wide opening with a gate.

[@redgoliath]

Maybe they were a bit smaller than horse stables, because they were for donkeys, or bulls? For pulling the carts, since they said the rock used to be for drying corn, as the other room looked like it was for storage space, any of the above is possible and as likely, but in Portugal and Spain, using bulls for pulling carts was much more usual, and the brick stables seemed to be very low for horses.

[@framegrace1]

If they are prepared for keeping them, is a good option. They will need (good) fencing, which is not cheap, and someone to take care of them almost exclusively. A better option is to ask someone to do it. I have a friend that works on this, he used to had to ask for permission to graze, but people nowadays even pay him to take the goats to their properties regularly. I'm sure there's someone near base camp that can do it. Keeping goats have some unpleasant tasks included (Sacrificing, milking, medications ...) better let that to the professionals.

[@guilherme20004]

@@framegrace1 they dont need to be fenced, they will probably eat only the good grass they find around. Usually you just dig a hole, put some kind of iron pipe and just tie a rope to them, they eat big round areas , then you just need to keep spreding then trough the land. My family has a big land here in portugal, madeira island, and we do that, then in the afternoon we put them in their stockyard. That way they only go to the a new area after eating all they possibly can.

[@hillbournesian]

I kept goats for 15 years, love goats but they are a huge hassle and delight in eating what you don't want them to. It's much easier using a brush cutter than it is owning goats. Borrowed goats might be ok.

The brick block building looks like it was probably three farrowing pens for sows and piglets. Brambles produce a lot of fruit in late August and September so I suggest keeping some areas and wait until after that before cutting down the others.

[@09conrado]

Yeah I once thought that tto in July in Portugal: let's go pick some brambles. We had brought a few planks. After a lot of hard sweaty work we ended up with half a bucket of dry tasteless blackberries. Brambles need a lot of water to yield good fruit

Seeing the new meadow I thought wouldn't it be great if you could start keeping some honey bee hives there to aid the flora. It would be great project to aid in the development of even more biodiversity on the land and provide honey to the camp.

I could see that fora long term plan, but bees are expensive, and they aren't easy. They'd definitely need someone with expertise to come and teach them all the ins and outs of bee keeping :)

[@zabmcauley5647]

Native wildflowers are better at feeding native pollinators which better support the native ecosystem instead of bringing in honey bees.

[@thegrinderman1090]

I've read that introducing honey bees can actually reduce biodiversity, because they outcompete the native bee populations.

[@opdmin]

@@thegrinderman1090 That's an interesting point. But I'm sure that the local bees would be the choice rather than importing bees from elsewhere.

Bee keepers, do not relocate or bring in tons of bees from somewhere else when setting up these hives. The only bee they add to the hive is the queen bee and naturally the queen bee attracts tons of local native bees to make the hive their home.

I don't know if have already thought about it, but having goats and sheeps might help a lot in controling the growth of rumbles, grassroots and other green bushes/ herbaceous. They in Portugal are also called "Cabras/Ovelhas Sapadoras" because of the role they have in keeping controled the growth of this species and at the same time decreasing the fire-risk. I guess it should be a cheaper and ecological investment. 😊

[@teresahiggs4896]

In the USA there are goat ranchers that “rent” their herds . They put the herd of goats on a piece of land , for a specific time or until the land had been cleared to the owners specifications,. The goats do a great job of clean up, . My family owned goats when I was a child and speaking from experience, goats eat plants no other farm animal will eat! And they have HUGE appetites. You’d be shocked at how much a small herd of goats will eat in just a week! These goat ranchers even clear land for cities, parks and large businesses. It’s recognized as an economic and ecologically sound way to keep down overgrowth of plants, help prevent fires by cleaning up the plant growth before it dies and create a fire hazard. The goat rancher gets the money for renting his goat herd and the milk from the goats and the landowner gets cleared land that hasn’t been sprayed with pesticides and the clearing down by goats is cheaper than having men come and cut all the overgrowth.

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

The three bay building made out of structural clay tiles (close to base Kamp) would be a relatively easy conversion to a 3 unit living space. The gable ends and partition walls seem to be in good condition, so all you need is a roof, windows and doors and likely a floor. This roof structure can be built entirely from mimosa selected for size and straightness. Good experiment to judge the suitability of mimosa round wood harvested on site for future projects. If you have fears of flammability of mimosa, paint it with intumescent paint for fire retardancy.

[@martinuso7446]

Fire retardant stuff is mostly not environment friendly.. Could be a toilet/shower building too.

[@fposmith]

That brick ruins were quarters for seasonal farm hands. We used to see these type quarters in Florida years ago. Some can still be found up in central Florida scattered among the orange groves. Just enough room for the workers to sleep. Sometimes two to a room in bunk beds. They would have a separate structure for washing and cooking. You should start looking at this property from that perspective.

[@mfr58]

One thing to check out is that if the under laying rock is mostly granite, there may be a radon gas issue in any building you renovate or build.....Also something else to note is that in Cornwall, UK, the granite substrate contains high levels of lithium that are about to be mined....maybe your granite contains lithium too....

[@EmileChamonard]

Buy the land before you let a geologist near it as if it is found the value of the land will be so high you wont be able to afford the price and you could end up with mining co owning it and an open cast mine in the middle of your land.

An updated map on the website that shows all the walls, water structures, ruins, new structures, and your paths would be great. It could help crowd source ideas for Project Kamp as well.

In the 90s i was honored to uncover a 111 year old cemetery some of the stuff had not been seen in 30 or 40 years, my boss to this day still lives and takes care of it Pineview Cemetery Beach Park Ill. interestingly enough some friends from HS are buried there, i stayed in the business for over a decade, i would do this if i lived next door, Peace from High Rock House Arizona,

This episode feels like an IRL Valheim remake 😅😅

[@persateas]

Lol true

[@seawitch77]

Great video! Such beautiful land, seems like an ancient place. Mother nature is so awesome! 🌲🌱🌿💚💚💚

[@deity2880]

Not sure if the property owner would appreciate you trespassing on the property let alone messing with the plantlife, before you even buy the property

[@tagladyify]

Was thinking the very same thing 😳

Have to be nice, how would he access the hole land? Looks like no access road, just through his neighbor’s land.

one thing commendable about you guys is that.........humanity is what you people nourish......much love and kudos

[@ianmcdonald6598]

You've got a lot of work which seems to be well underway ; I notice several Bushes that are so equally spaced they must be something special. The buildings seem to offer a perfect opportunity for some metal detection inside and out, to determine their origins etc - who knows what lies hidden in those old walls too. Good Luck!

[@Goodellsam]

If it's not yours, aren't you trespassing? Evidently they can't trust you.

[@leonardohansen8065]

Love this video, it's like the firsts videos of Dave and his camera! But now recharged with knowledge, really cool to see the progress you made 💪🏻

[@dandahermitseals5582]

That'd not your land. Why are you clearing it??

[@smellymala3103]

Because they don't live in the United States south of the Mason-Dixon line hahaha

[@michaelwalter3301]

He told they will buy it.

[@samholdsworth420]

If you watch the video you would hear him say that they're in the process of purchasing the land. But comment before you watch the video that's always cool

The circular parcel is the perfect place for a goat herd (yes, goats will clear brambles) to do the preliminary clearing. Simply Google "VEVOR Electric Fence Netting, 42.5" H x 164' Lectro Net" to get started. You will need to buy a solar energizer to send the electrical charge through the fence unless one of your folks can build one. Goats will eat everything below four feet. You can also start taking down mimosa around the perimeter and using the poles to build a fence around this area to contain the goats. Save an appropriate stump at 1.5 meters high and nail the poles to it. In combo with the Lectro Net you can make good parcels for clearing. WHen the goats are ready to be moved off a section, the feeder pigs come in to prepare the ground and eat the tops off the mimosa trees you chop and drop. WHen the pigs are done you collect the worthwhile mimosa poles and overseed the soil with local meadow mix.😊

Always been impressed by herders, you sir are a genius. Here in the low desert of California we have a herder who takes a few dozen goats around clearing as a business, eating and seeding the desert...it's amazing to see the results. 😎

This is an amazing project, please keep working. Glad to see working people in inhabitated land.

[@peterdalton4370]

When I saw the ruins I wondered, "is this an old mine site with an old mine-shaft hiding under the brambles".

[@behindthewolfseyes]

Your editing is phenomenal. Very nice property and worth all the work too
