As a biologist I was hyped to see you explore more of the native species, but I got to agree with others in the comments. When you have medical problems please just go see a doctor, don't play around with plants with 'medical capabilities'
@@morrowdoug This, but also don't use your mouth... you're more likely to get an infection from mouth bacteria... However it is true that some herbs can help lessen swelling & help with pain relief or itching. (however do this only with bites or stings, in a none-dangerous situation)
@@henrikvalborgland4556 someone is a native from where they were born, both my parents are portuguese and i was born in portugal, but if my parents had me while they were travelling in china i would be a china native, so no, you are incorrect
I’ve learned from another you tube channel that granite can be made very fragile from fire. They had a ruin that still had a roof and a fire came through and burned everything. It made the granite very crumbly. It may be that you can deconstruct the one ruin and use the stone for some other use.
Not a big fan of the herbology part. Regarding the scientific approach you take with every other project presented -this was giving „alternative fact“ vibes. enjoyed the classification though and would love to know more about the native and invasive plants around Kamp and how to classify them.
I have to agree with you as well. While folk medicine occasionally can have surprising if usually anecdotal effects, there is not too much scientific research to back it up and tons of misinformation out there. Using it in the kitchen however is super cool and easy to fact check.
Hard agree. I was imagining myself there and how I would respond to that while navigating the personal politics of it. People get invested in their beliefs, but this isn't about religion, it's about medicine, and that can have life or death consequences. I can't dismiss herbalism as a whole, as some herbs have known pharmacological effects, but there is a great deal of pseudo-knowledge there. One thing someone said to me that has always stuck: If an herb is pharmacologicly active, it will have side effects (like any drug); if an herb has no side effects, it's not doing anything at all. Most of them are in the latter category. I'll take an herbal stimulant like coffee over a caffeine pill, but if I have a serious medical condition I want "allopathic" medicine.
@@takix2007 Agreed on homeopathy - for very obvious reasons, haha. Regarding herbology honestly, I think it would definitely be possible have bad side effects or to pick and consume the wrong thing.
If the ruin is really structurally unsafe. I personally would take it down completely and use the grannet stones as landscape decorations for the new long term camper area. "Fire pit" seating area. Border around garden ect. Like as much as we want to preserved somthing maybe the best way is just using the material and birthing somthing new from it
@@topkek_ I don’t know how I missed them saying that in the other video that thanks for letting me know as I thought it would make more sense to create something new rather than trying to rebuild with the amount of damage to it
With all the ecosystem restauration ambitions evolving, I am very curious to hear if you ever contemplated setting up a local tree species nursery. Collect seeds and seedlings locally, propagate (and show us the successes/failures), and plant them out in a few years' time! A living library of genetic diversity, chance to explore ecosystems with the viewers beyond Project Kamp, and enhancing regeneration beyond what nature can do by itself given local conditions (especially drought).
I loved that you brought someone to help you make an inventory of some of the plants growing on the land! Pesto looked delicious! I also hope that you take more precautions for preventing health issues than just what grows on your property. Epi pens, a portable defibrillator, tourniquets, a spinal board and spinal collar are investiments that should be considered if the nearest hospital is a long ride away.
Quite dangerous misinformation here. If you get a snake bite, don’t put anything or do anything to the area of the bite. Keep that body part as still as possible and get to an emergency room for treatment.
Yup. The bite will inject the venom past the dermis, beyond which nothing can "suck" it back out. The same mechanism that makes tattoos permanent is why snake venom cannot be removed once bitten. You need to go to the hospital and get antivenom, any rubbing/patting of the area will only spread the venom faster.
Hi , your channel is amazing; I've never seen this type of construction work before. We would like to show part of your videos in some video/s report about your channel. We will add your link, your name, and your work will be mentioned in the video. Thank you!
I'd honestly cut the full section discussing the plants, identifying the plants and trees is great but providing advice on what you can use them for (and not specifically mentioning that a lot of the practices she mentioned are no longer used!) without even mentioning the adverse effects of poor administration, formulation and interactions with other drugs which can be FATAL. For example, she mentions stinging nettle, which yes is edible (although most people would have it as a tea) but she fails to mention that it can affect the menstrual cycle and stimulate uterine contractions or the fact that it can have a significant effect on a persons blood sugar level and can trigger hypoglycemic episodes, it can also effect the efficacy of diabetes medicine. Here's interactions it can have with some medicines that weren't even discussed: Blood thinners such as warfarin, clopidogrel and aspirin because stinging nettle contains large amounts of vitamin K, which can help the blood’s ability to clot. Taking stinging nettle can decrease the effects of these drugs. Drugs for high blood pressure such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers because stinging nettle can lower blood pressure and strengthen the effects of these drugs. Diuretics and water pills because stinging nettle is also a diuretic and when used together can cause dehydration. Lithium because of stinging nettle’s diuretic qualities. It may reduce the body’s ability to remove this drug, resulting in higher than recommended levels of lithium. NSAIDs because stinging nettle can enhance the anti-inflammatory effect of some of them. Despite the evidence that combining stinging nettle and NSAIDs leads to more pain relief, it should be taken under supervision. Sedative medications (CNS depressants) such as clonazepam, lorazepam, phenobarbital and zolpidem because when large amounts of above ground parts of stinging nettle are taken, sleepiness and drowsiness can occur. Taking sedatives along with stinging nettle might cause too much drowsiness. And for the love of god, DO NOT try to make a poultice to extract snake venom. It is as insane if not more insane than all the other "treatments" people use to use in the 1800-1900s where they literally poured ammonia into snake bites :). If anyone's interested the University of Sydney have an opinion piece about the history of snake bite remedies: "hissstory how the science of snake bite treatments has changed".
It is almost a Darwin Award waiting to happen. Unfortunately, the person doing the recommendations and the person suffering will most likely not be the same.
I think that we have to be able to distinguish between historical/survivalist knowledge and modern medicine…most of the medicines you take are derived from plants, so knowing that, and knowing how they are used is not harmful. The thoughtless application of the kind of knowledge can be harmful, just as the thoughtless application of modern medicines can be (doctors aren’t perfect in the real world, as much as we appreciate them). Knowing the history of our relationship with the plants gives us a better understanding of ourselves and our planet.
@@kristenurbanec903 i would recommend, on matters of medicine, to trust modern medical science, and trust doctors (who have done much more research than a layperson could have done)
Medicinal uses for plants are poorly researched and dangerous to recommend for acute conditions. Some can even do the opposite of what people think they do which is obviously the last thing you want. I certainly wouldn't condone going around pointing to seemingly random plants and saying they treat this and that. You would never see a video of someone going around pointing at medication in a pharmacy making these sorts of claims about so many things at once. And another often left out point is that just like medication, some medicinal plants are not safe to consume regularly, some are not even safe at all. I don't hate medicinal plants, some are great medicines, but they really need context just like any drug. For example, mint was mentioned for digestive issues. Mint contains a fair amount of menthol, and research has shown that menthol calms the muscles of your digestive track. Now that sounds great, and it usually is, but the menthol is a bit too effective, it's indiscriminate and relaxes certain muscle groups which could make digestive discomfort worse. There are IBS medications which combine it with things that excite certain muscles you don't want to be calmed to try and achieve a sweet spot. This also raises another point, not everything should be taken on it's own. Anyway, my point is it may seem mundane, but you are giving medical advice. Medical advice is not mundane, it's serious and it better be correct.
Also you are always running the risk of people going overboard with dosis like sage tea is great but you really have to limit how much you consume per day. Likewise as you said there are so many individual stuff that could alter or differ the wanted effect. Especially if people are having other medical conditions and or taking other medications for that. Probably a lot of people roll their eyes but I think you can never be to cautious with such topics
I fully share your concern about the dangers of DIY plant medicine. I would like to highlight three critical aspects: The lack of adequate research on the medicinal use of many plants. The difficulty of correctly identifying plants, as demonstrated in the movie Into the Wild. The risk of encountering harmful parasites.
You could use the old tiles by breaking them into small peices and using them as gravel somewhere where water needs to drain, like around the outlets of the water from the swamp/pond.
Hello there! My name is Ricardo Casarin and I am a Forest Engineer in Brazil, and I have a warning for you about the ruin. Some Oak trees are very close to the construction. Plan to prune, which is not such a bad thing, not even for native species, especially the branches, but remember that there is a huge root system, which usually occupies the first cm of soil. Another suggestion is to transplant, or simply remove, but it is easier to try to transport from place and with a chance, unfortunately lose the plant. I love the videos and the community work behind it all!
the second ruin in the video might be a good idea for more shower rooms or good dry changing spaces for the future if you ever put more parking spaces for vans or tents in that area. a lot of the videos that go over the rainy season always mention that it's very hard to have good dry spaces for drying clothes out. It might be really good for this if there are plans for more permanent residents in the future!
I learned something from the plant section of the video, I have a patch of wild strawberry plants under an ancient (and somewhat poorly-kept) apple tree that I will have to work on getting into a sunny area!
She forgot to mention evil spirts and bad thoughts can be cast off by shaking a branches. Oh, and let’s not forget about the healing power of rocks. (Sarcasm)
Welcome to traditional medicine. Used for thousands of years but few have scientific backing. A lot of them work for yet unknown reasons, otherwise they wouldn't be stuck with us for thousands of years, but counterintuitive studying traditional medicine is harder than developing new synthetic medicine.
I also thought at the bee sting thing: ..."and this herb will absorb the venom from the wound". Eeeeh. I don't think that's how it works. To be fair, I don't know that much about beestings or venom, but isn't the venom waaaay flushed in the blood circulation before any herb could even do anything? And even if that where the case, won't you need ALOT of those herbs to even have enough of whatever active substance in that herb does al this wonderful cleaning?
Pulling on a rope in line with where the tree will fall, while sawing on the same side, meaning you will both pinch the chainsaw (kickback...) and make the tree fall down on you? Yeah, "sketchy" is an understatement...
The guy sawing seems like he’s used a chainsaw before but his tree cutting skills look rather un experienced. The other guys act completely amateurish. The mimosas have an uncommon size and fall quite weird due to them being thin and crooked but especially with the bigger ones some closer considering of how they’re grown to predict the falling and basic safe behavior during the work would make the job way easier. And the thing with the rope, nothings wrong wrong about using one, it’s really helpful in those tight spaces, but always tie the rope around another tree (changing you’re towing direction) so you can still stand out if the falling range.
you can take oak cutting and plant them into the ground and they will become trees.....you can do this form of propagtion with many plants...and you should
Yes, please!🙏I just recently spent way too much time backtracking through so many episodes trying to find several names (and the spelling) to no avail. Please include names on each episode, possibly at the bottom of the screen?! Thank you...I love you all, you're amazing and I'm so impressed with amount of work you all do...the way life used to be!!! 😆...Saline, Michigan🤟🙏💞
That's what I thought! I've just begun learning about trees this past year, and I thought that didn't look like a red oak to me. Maybe it's a translation thing
I've gotta say everytime I see you guys cut big mimosa into logs/small chunks, I nearly cry lmao it would make great lumber beams for small bushcraft survival style huts of earth and wood, food for thought... because if those were kept nice and whole, just with the branches trimmed, it would make good lumber :) (not for whole american style housing) but yeah I know the bush clearing is tiring enough already... but still, I might come to Project Kamp to make such huts in the future, it would be amazing that some high quality mimosas (mainly the big ones) are left! :) thanks for the amazing video as always, and for the overall great project :)
Self sufficient? Have you seen how many computers, smart phones, solar panels and other vast quantities of tech this lot carry about? The only way they could be self sufficient is if they buy shares in Microsoft and Apple. 😅
@@nickmail7604 Hey, you might want to take a reading comprehension course if you thought I said THEY are self sufficient. Please read slowly before commenting things that are inherently wrong. I've been following the channel for years now and am fully aware of their electronics, you know, the stuff they use to make the very video and stats that we're watching. Maybe leave a comment here when you're done with your reading comprehension class! I'd love to see how far you've come lmao
@@jonasplima if you've watched from the start, or go back and watch from the start I think you will clearly see that the only lesson they are really trying to learn is how to make a profitable RU-vid channel, they don't even spend the whole year on the land, all clearing off for the harsh winter months, preferring a centrally heated house or apartment to their vans and tents. Having said that, it has been hilarious watching them make so many silly mistakes, especially as they can always find a clip on RU-vid to show them the correct way to do all tasks, ironic really! Although they made so many stupid mistakes with the "digger scam" I still felt bad for them. But they are all computer boffins, so you think one of them would have checked the company that scammed them independently and not just via the scammers own website, I mean even just go on Google maps, put in the address the scammers had given them and on the map google provide will be the real name of the business at that address and not the made up one of the scammers.
@@morganraymo6959 I'm sure that one day you too can be as shit as self sufficiency as these guys, though whether you will be able to go "home" each winter will be dependent on how stupid you truly are, though from here it looks like a lot.
The Brick 3x1 structured that was cleared...can be used as community showers, it has the doorways.... flat space.. one side for the Bucket with extdendable pipe and water faucet... smaller cutouts for the water in the floors going under the door way......to flow downwards and away and a flat roof to sit and relax on.. with side steps going up...but for that to happen. .the middle single walls need to get a second layer of bricks to hold the weight on top.. then placing some fresh cut thicker thicker then laied in the sun for drying...mamosa beams. or do mixed useage.. Storage and shower.. i mean.. you have 1.. so having another 2 shower with more privacy is more.. attracting for many.
i know they said that didn’t want to make merch because of the waste but like they could make limited edition art pieces out of the tiles. i am sure some people around camp love art and it would be a cool piece to feel a part of camp.
I appreciate your suggestion, but as with the other ruin, many have proposed turning it into a bathroom. Perhaps the secret dream of many is to eliminate the Pupu Palace! It would be interesting to see if any architects can come up with more creative ideas for how to reuse these ruins.
Each Ruin could become its own house, taking into consideration the size of the circus Trailer and the size of the three ruins. + they are on the same area but fairly distant from each other.
RIP the bitrate in this video. I would suggest you use some lenses that can pull a decent focus and blur the background at the very least when doing the interviews, this will save the video from completely destroying the bitrate. Though with the gopro there is less that you can do to mitigate this other than setting it up on a tripod or putting it on a stone and lessening the amount of camera sway.
Something I found that helped with the mimosa when they're starting to get to that size is running the chainsaw around the trunk to cut through the bark, so its not still attached when the tree starts to fall. Have had pieces connecting twist and pull the tree while falling, which with one mate under the tree pulling it down was a nightmare to watch. It also makes really good fire wood, though apparently not for cooking.
While the plants she is going through are 'edible' people like myself are highly allergic, cleavers make my whole body swell up from touch or from breathing near them. Always stick to things you know
@@Sophia-uc9qh I am sorry you have allergies, however that should not mean that herbs are harmful and you probably did not intend to mean that. Sorry for you weakened immune system.
@@jackiehoracek I meant that not everyone can eat everything, people without knowledge should not just go outside and eat random plants, what might be okay for one person is not for another
Good morning how are you guys doing today you look like you're doing a good job keep up the good work hope you get your bulldozer or your tractor back or whatever it is and have a good day
Maravilloso el uso que s ele da a plantas que tenemos cerca y que ya no sabemos sobre ellas. Jaime! Me estabas poniendo nervioso al no usar guantes al principio cogiendo todo eso de las ruinas! Menos mal que al final has usado guantes jajajajaa.
You may want to not use a strimmer (though, it IS a big strimmer) You prob want a "brush trimmer".. Though these don't use string to cut, they use big thick metal blades. It will get rid of brambles much easier. Only downside is maintenance of the blades, instead of just winding on some new string.
@@Dawildogramaybe of you let it sit for a dew days after cutting? Maybe it's different species but the ones I'm thinking of sting you pretty bad and can cause swelling
Hey, fellas why don't you use a waterfall to generate electricity for camp by using an Arduino and turbine. it could be a big step towards sustainable living.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. When spreading information regarding medical treatments, you need it to be done by a TRUE PROFESSIONAL, otherwise is misinformation. Spreading herbs on snake bites is not backed up scientifically. As any professional in project kamp does their job and explains the objective method, so science must applied to medical treatments like snake bites.
@@thuder6036 a scientist would be cool, a biologist or researcher, but it's difficult and I understand, since they might have on-site jobs to do. But they could simply use professionals who actually studied science and base their sentences on facts and official medical research, not "traditional treatments" or bs like that, because they could actually mean life or death in some situations.
I leave between Boston/Cape Cod. It's amazing how many the herbal plantas/weeds she showed; we have here in my area. Welcome back Jamie!! Also, I think we need to be more open up to use lots of plants we don't know. Curdos to this video.
I think the three room brick building should be a dedicated shower, toilet and amenities block. With the increase in people, it would be best to be prepared.
I really liked the recipes and some of the cool edible plants you showed that I didn't know about - like plantains, or wild strawberry leaves. That pesto sounds amazing!
Kind of hoping the point is reached where some actual building happens. Much less entranced with this years progress as opposed to previous years. Maybe with Jaime back...
I learnt more about plants watching this than I've learned in 44 years living on a farm in the Irish countryside (You should get some chainsaw trousers for whoever is doing the cutting. It's very dangerous not to have them)
