#99 Waterproofing our trailer house and clearing the road 

You could drop Kevin in the jungle with a pair of jeans and a sewing machine. He'd come out flying on a denim paraglider with a little jean jacket for his new pet iguana 👌🏼

I feel like you guys need an artist in camp. All that wood could be made in to something nice. Maybe some sculptures and such.

I'm surprised you don't choose the pieces of flooring with markings on it. That's what makes it so cool.

Glad that they acknowledge that Kevin is one of our favorite things from Project Kamp =D

Another idea for windows that allow too much sun is to add an awning at the right pitch and height so that the sun only comes in during the winter.

I think you should make French curtains, like a door IN FRONT of the window, so the sun doesn't heat up the glass of the windows it self. You can even try to make them with a hatch, so you can adjust the sunlight you would like to get in.

everyone needs a neighbor like Hans, so full of energy and ready to help

I have a really good solution for all the piles of mimosa and brumbles: Just let the big piles stay there and lay down some bigger sticks on top of it. So all sorts of animals and wildlife can find a habitat in there. These piles are so good for the biodiversity. If you make it right, it becomes a hotspot for insects, little animals etc. And eventually it will get smaller over the years. Maybe this is a solution for some piles of the whole material but not all, because the choping into small wood chips is also important as the last videos showed.

I just came to listen to Julie. Her voice makes me calm.

Here's a great hack for making gaiters to keep wood chips and other things out of your boots while chainsawing: take an old pair of socks (ideally a pair that are at their end of their usable life), cut the feet off so you are just left with a tube, put them on over your socks and bottom of your pant legs before putting on your boots, put on your boots, then pull the sock tubes down to cover your boots and your feet should stay clean. Love your videos, keep up the good work, cheering you on from the wilds of Canada!

Yay! Kevin's (and company) various upcycling wins again!

There is something satesfying about a well kept land. It shows instantly.

The curtains will not be very effective at cutting down on the heat. The gap between the curtains and the glass acts like a greenhouse warming the air, that air then circulates around the room. To really cut the heat down, you'll need to put some shutters outside of the window.

Kevin and Jaime are the best!

I am not sure the orientation of your windows, but your southern windows should have awnings over them. With the right size awnings you can block out direct sun in the summer to keep it cooler inside, but let in winter sun to get extra heat. To find the right size awning you need to know your latitude and how high in the sky the sun is at that latitude during the summer and winter. Then it's just math.

29:01 Keeping the heat out of a building works much better if you don't let the sunlight come through the window first, because then it will warm up the curtain or whatever construction you made, which will in its turn heat the room by radiating. So if you make shutters, window blinds, curtains or any other devices that reflect light, you'd do best to install them on the outside. Curtains on the inside are for darkening a space, not for keeping it cool.

Who does not love the neighbours' biological weed cutters.😍 🐑 Maybe also an option for project Kamp? Use the wool and milk (and if you want the meat) from the sheep. The manure can be used on the vegetable garden.

One way to deal with hot sun window, is to block the sun from the OUTSIDE ! In colder climate, one way is to setup some kind of rack on top of the window, and let some plants grow in there, so the leaves would fall in the fall and let the sun come in for the winter. Curtain will help a little bit for sure, but you need the sun got inside, so it got converted to heat at the window. some white curtain can help to reflet this heat back outside, but window does play some trick, as it will reflect heat, so you can't send back IR heat since the glass act as a mirror. Anyway lot of tweaks to do in your future.

Pig trailer home moving along. Reusing the old metal stairs was a step up versus climbing. First step up from the ground is too high and potential trip hazard. Need at least one more lower rung step. Or build up the surrounding base area to improvise one or two stepping areas. Most likely using a combination of base stone, wood chips, mimosa wood for the boxed areas. Opportunities for roof water runoff collection. Gutters, downspouts and suitably sized collection barrel or tote. Water can be used for plant or garden irrigation. Or runoff into a nearby man made designed pond. Plant some trees for shading, respite areas, encourage local birds. Road clearing and improved access is important. Now you need to grade the road to facilitate water runoff. Then cut some graded drains or culverts to channel the water away from low areas. in time, roadway widening, taking material from the high side and building up the opposite side. Planting fire proof trees properly spaced to minize soil erosion. Continue to discover indigenous tree species, clear and create growing areas. Look for opportunities to design and create turn around areas for large vehicles. Determine if water runoff can be channeled to existing streams, ponds, well or lagoon. Do you have to protect isolated trees from the local animal trimming, foraging crew (sheep, goats, cows)? Office shading, some ideas: mimosa shutters (either inside or outside), mimosa roll up shade blinds similar to bamboo blinds, external mimosa awning around the windows.

Incredible luck the window frames you made previous of getting the materials fit perfectly with the windows you found :))

gap between videos is soo long😭. need atleast 2 videos per week. your videos are awesome

Wow, I love the mimosa removal - but it obviously is hard work! Great to see you preserve other trees. Thank you for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken

Excellent teamwork, excellent music, excellent editing, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Congratulations to everyone, and peace be with you. And don't forget to plant lots of native plants, especially fruit plants.

Great episode. I enjoy the Mimosa harvesting. On your final scene, I noticed the outside the office. Some of the ends of the cinder blocks are exposed. They should be capped before winter. Water will get into the ends and soak into the blocks, not good. The outside should probably receive a water repelling treatment. I have a 80+ year brick chimney and painted it last year because it was soaking in water during rain. It would then puddle on top of the ceiling. It took me years to figure out the roof wasn't leaking. It's great seeing the progress.

Nice that you have now also biological brushcutters😃👍

The new Jurtains are definitely a unique look but i think they're cool.

Kevin is so clever making useful items out of old jeans.

“Involving one of the favourite things of you guys: KEVIN” ❤😂❤

Great work! Very surprised to see no pitch on the roof of the pig trailer considering the amount of rain you get in the winter. Even with a thick plastic barrier, the pooling rain on the flat surface will likely cause problems in the long term.

I'll never get tired of hearing the main guy say, "spikey bushes". :D

I was so happy to see some animals wondering about on the land. Brilliant guys. Keep up the good work.

21:17 The guy on that ladder! He has nowhere to go if that trunk comes his way in a nasty sweep 🤐

I love seeing them working on the pig trailer, that is such an interesting project:)

Most excellent work!! ❤

The Rhodesian Ridgeback is so cute trying to air-step into the trailer.😂❤

people mineral wool, like rock wool and similar products for insulation are discarded in huge amounts. Around here you can often get it for free when people renovate or demolish buildings or even leftovers from new buildings. It's fireproof, last forever and it takes a lot of resources to produce so recycling it is awesome. And even thou it's a pain to work with it's not toxic or anything.

Project Kamp makes my Mondays so much better

Project kamp is a daily Monday routine, i keep on rewatching the same video. Am waiting for Monday already

Very impressed that you managed to find windows that were the exact size for your openings 😉

On those slopes on either side of the road, ground cover, you should see if the have “pickle plant” or “apple blossom” or “ice plant”. Succulents. They are usually free, drought tolerant and grows quickly.

Wow, I didn't realize I was always waiting for every Monday... Very happy with everything you do! Can't wait for the 100th episode!

I hope that everyone survived the bad weather of the last few days. It's looking wet on the forecast for the next few days too. 🌧🌧🌬❤❤❤🌬🌧🌧

Finally Hans is back!!!! Finally Máté is on the screen. Good job Projekt Kamp! 😊

I just watched the last couple vids, and unless it happened earlier in the season I don't believe I've seen you guys make a fire break around your property... Now that the escape route is clearing out, I'd urge you all to consider encircling your entire property, or that of you and your neighbors' land, in a fire break. The break should be 2-3x as tall as any nearby vegetation, so with the giant flammable mimosa trees that'll mean making a rather gigantic firebreak or taking all those trees out, but it may be the case that you don't have time to get to your fire escape before everything around you has gone up in flames. I'd like some feedback on this as it's a technique I plan on incorporating later in life as a land owner, but I really urge you guys to take strong precautions to save your entire plot of land next.

do you see that little hook on the left side of the sewing machine? That is a thread cutter, making it quicker to cut the thread if you can't find the scissors!

You may want to consider "brise soleil". Apparently the name is the same in french and english according to goolge ... It's basically some sturdy piece of material to put on topof windows to block out the summer sun that is high in the sky, but still let the lower winter sun in. Should be usefull for both the pig trailer and your office :)

I love seeing the Singer Heavy Duty machine get some action. Denim curtains make a nice, thick curtain for keeping out the heat or the cold. Old Denim can also make a good, thick quilt for a bed.

The wrong side of the recycled timber flooring looks great, rustic.

Lovely video as always, great work!

Monday! Hooray! I wish you had the resources to make more videos, but I'm just grateful that we get the ones you do have the time and energy to make.

Hard work guys! Keep it up!

With just one needle... Kévin, incredible work 😂.

Hello, I'm always happy about your new videos. I think your courage and seriousness in living this project is great! Maybe I'll come visit in the summer. But I have a few comments about the roof and the insulation: • Why the flat roof and no slope? The rainwater then runs off immediately. It is easier to build and keep the roof rainproof. It doesn't cause any damage. It can easily be collected in a gutter and put to good use. • On the other hand, I fear that the wood in the roof will soon start to rot. There is no rear ventilation! The steam pressure comes from the inside and pushes outwards. But the moisture cannot escape. The plastic wrap prevents this. The layers in the wall structure and also in the ceiling structure must become increasingly permeable to vapor pressure from the outside. I hope that you find a solution to this problem and that the new Pig Trailer is not damaged. The moisture penetration occurs very quickly and is not very visible. Fritz Negenborn, Germany

Geat job guys! Whith the lot of excess wood you can try to make hugel culture, for vegetablegarden, or mushrooms, or make a fence.

we rly need to see Jaime standing on an ladder, more often...also...the curtains will not keep the heat outside..you need something on the outside :D

5:38 even tho you have glasses (because it looks like regular glasses for eye sight) please use protective glasses or face shield as well, because the discs can explode and you don't want one of those shards in your face.

A foldable awning on the outside over the windows would do wonders cutting down the heat from the sun.

If you double up the windows with a large air gap between them, it provides very very good insulation. Arkopia called it the Double Double.

For me, its to much plastic on the pig trailer. But nice to see you came forward

pretty cool curtains though I'd imagine making simple slatted shutters would make more sense to keep the sun out but more importantly still allow light & air to flow into the office

Nice clearing! Are you going to plant 'good' trees there now? To keep the heat out of the building, you should literally keep it outside by making shutters that you can close. With curtains, the heat just gets trapped between the window and the curtain and is not really kept out.

Create some window shutters outside on your sketchy ruin instead of thick curtain’s inside. Shutters keep the heat outside and will improve your inside temperature.

Reference your mouldy wood. Burning the surface of the wood protects it. It also protects it again FIRE. Brush off the surface afterwards A methylated or Paraffin blow touch would be cheaper than GAS.

You should build a deck above the trailer, like a cool space for the “owner” to relax and get some sun in the winter!

Whoever did the camera work for this video, you are doing the lord's work. That is all!

Pretty clever on hanging the curtains. They should work well being so thick. Good job guys and gals.

I love the sped up shots of group forestry work, like an ant hill! such satisfying industrious work to watch, even if its not so fun to do :)

PROJECT KAMP GERS IT DONE!!!👍👍🏁🏁😄

Love the preparedness of the fire road. Is this a road you’ll drive over daily? Maybe drive over it often enough to keep it from over growing.

love your videos and I have been looking for this every monday! thank you project kamp! great job as always!

As others have mentioned, some awesome miso home made shutters and/or awnings or second hand ones would be very cool. The curtains are cool too, but will not be as effective as sun protection from the outside.

consider roller blinds(rolgordijnen) from reclaimed wood/stuff(cut into strips) on the outside; helps crazy amount heat in summertime. Clearing is going great and makes future plans way more visible

Try using emergency blankets for a curtain liner in the summer. They are so reflective and keep a lot of sun out. They're thin and easy to take down to store in winter, but they are delicate and tear easily.

An awning on the outside of the window is better than curtains. Awnings stop the suns rays before they enter the building while curtains do help the heat is already inside the room. Plus with awnings you can still look out the window all the time.

Goats 🐐, clear the undergrowth and are just plain fun 🎉

People need more house building content!! Love your work, guys. Peace

Hope there's a big party for ep 100. Maybe a special episode? I'd love to see Project Kamp: Uncut, where all the gossiping and debauchery takes place.

This was a great video. Full, long, and impressive editing!!!!! Great job. And I got to see Jaime. ❤

I´m a bit suprised about your window fitting. ... If I saw that correctly you guys fit them snug into the framework. (that got the job done and I hope it works.) I have demolished older windows and installed some new ones. What I know is, that in the old days sometimes they used hemp between the windowframe and the structural framework or walls of any housing to seal of gaps and to allow for movement of the wood. Today alot of foam and expanding sealingband is used. ... In your case: Have you maybee thought about some cork strips inbetween? ... love your content. keep it up. 🙂

Like many people have been saying. Awnings for the windows. Use the old ball court like the roof.

after building stuff with second hand stuff here in Norway i'm friggin impressed that they managed to source windows in exact correct dimensions. might be easier thing down there but up here there is like 20+ different manufactures (incl old no longer existing but still available) of windows and none seems to have the same standard for any sizes with some very few exceptions like those sizes set by the state for public buildings like schools, hospitals etc. but those tend to be way to big for ordinary people to use (H240cm x W260cm for example...)

1 away from episode 100 woooooo

Holy shit, jurtains!

Well done guys it looks Fantastic .......it will be very comfortable to live in

Kevin is a genius!

It's kinda cute that you always say the dutch word for blackberries.

Been waiting for this 👍, i think when i would be old enough i should also buy a land nd build somethings

Shoutout to Napoleon Dynamite, he is doing great!

Another great Kevin project ❤ i‘m now officially a Kevin hypeman 😂 once again, love the creativity!

I would love to see some more charts and numbers about the camp's own ecological and carbon footprint, and the steps you take to ensure it is as low as possible.

I think it is great that you found Napoleon Dynamite and gave him a job. LoL

👍 Nice work. Next roof, just put a roof beam on each end, string your rope and butt the boards against the rope?

Congrats you upgraded your sewing machine.

Good morning you guys hope you guys having a wonderful day and keep up the good work I'm proud have a great day you guys

After seeing the pig trailer’s roof with that nice floor I couldn’t stop thinking about giving a use to it. Like a sky observatory or green roof. Have you considered any use for that? Loved how everything is coming along! Great reuse of the metallic material to make the details for the trailer! Also loved Kevin’s creative solutions :)

The place is now clear looks good for farming

What an Epig trailer!

Nice vid as usual. I wonder in an awful event that some one building on the pig trailer falls down from the roof. Isnt the camp kind of liable almost as an employer? I mean, it could be good to have proper protection so that noone can fall down from there. Byw. To block energy from the sun in the windows. The best is to block outside the window. Why not build and use exterior window shutters?

That's a good tarp

Wouldn't making the roof a bit pitched help with possible pooling of water on the roof? An awning for the entrance to get clear of the rain? Surely, every project means effort and time and you probably have too much on your hands.. It might be an idea to keep some usable size mimosa trunks (as material) for crafting simple, rough plank shutters for the windows.. That's how the mediterraneans have insulated against the sun/heat and wind/cold through ages. Don't necessarily have to be sophisticated venetian blinds. The thickness of the wood of the shutter keeps out (absorbs/reflects &/or retains the heat from) the sun to a considerable degree. Cooler during summer, drier during precipitation provided they have blades sloped downwards with intervals to keep the air flow; warmer in winter as well... It's possible that several discarded might be lying around in some 2nd-hand building material warehouses. All the best.
