Given the fact that you have very flammable insulation, please add conduit to protect the electrical cables. You cannot predict how hot they'll get, even if it's a one-time occurrence. Prevention is always better than cure.

I think you guys should first vote with the people currently working in the place to gather options for the community vote. At least this way there will be some people happy with it.
I like how transparent you are (liking/disliking the trailer color, why you do ads and what the proceeds help support, critical feedback on previous video maker, etc...). This is so refreshing for an American to see. We're trained to be so positive - always act like everything is AMAZING! Thanks for keepin' it real. Algo-bump!
You said that well. Trained to act like everything is AMAZING! As a European, this has been bothering me for a long time when I read American commentaries, as has the ever-worsening religious mass hysteria.
Nice to see the work coming along. For anyone making electric connections in walls, do not avoid using cable pipes. A fire could kill anyone inside, the plastic pipes are for safety.
Not needed. Conduit is used in areas that need protection from abrasion or impact. Not in walls. If your wiring is done correctly the wires will never get hot.
@@SixPackDan I mean, yes and no. People seem to forget where there is people there are creatures like mice. All it takes is for one to try and make a home between the walls and chew through a cable for there to be a potential huge problem. Edit: Not to mention that the pig trailer could be moved, and that could cause the cables to rub on the wood beams. Sure it would probably take a lot of movement for the cables to get stripped just by rubbing on the beams, but it's another potential risk.
@@Marinho10 Yes, I think the problems with a lack of conduit outweigh the advantages of omitting it. A small fire sould start in the insulation, continuing for some time before it became apparent. And certainly on that first cold day, there will be small animals that will want to come inside, if they haven't moved in already.
mice are a huge problem. As well as lightning strike, power surge, people screwing things to the wall (especially in a commune type of arrangement).... sooo many reasons to use conduit@@Marinho10
@@Marinho10 they also aren't pulling much power. their entire source is the small solar farm and batteries, so they will only be running stuff like a few LED lamps and laptop chargers. these wires will never get hot.
I really like the colors of the tiny house, a unique piece of art in the middle of all the greenery. Sometimes you need to standout. It reminds of the colourful bunch of people who want to make the world a better place. Really really nice ❤
What cheery, bright colors on that trailer house! I'm sorry many of you folks at the camp don't like it. It reminds me of funky Mexican buildings. Some day I'll have buildings that I can paint all different colors. The best I've done so far was when I lived in an old Victorian building in Somerville, Massachusetts (next to Boston), I painted the columns on the porch several different colors like a "painted lady". Sadly, not long after, the landlord hired a company to repaint the house, and they painted over all my delicate decorative colors. But now I've got my own land, and hope to get a lot of different buildings on it at some point, and you bet I'm going to make it super colorful!
Cambridge and Somerville have too many people who think they have good taste. I agree, however, whatever you did it can't be any worse than vinyl siding.
Fabric used to go through downcycling. New fabric would first be made into table cloths or bedsheets or clothing. Then they'd get down cycled into towels, napkins, or quilts. Then kitchen rags or menstrual rags/diapering. And final stop may be rag rugs, stuffing for pillows/beds. If 100% cotton or linen you could use it as a biodegradable weed barrier in the garden or compost it. Maybe you can find a sustainable mill and purchase fabric in a bolt. Would take less time than the repair job shown here.
For repairing smaller holes in towels (especially if you don't want to use any electricity) you could try darning. Since the towels are woven I think a woven stitch would work well. I darn holes in sweaters and socks with either a woven pattern or a knit pattern all the time. You could also try reinforcing existing patches or weak spots with a running stitch - similar to how sashiko is done. I use this on denim jeans to repair holes or add patches to areas that are wearing thin from friction.
Have you considered water turbines that you can use during the winter when the water is flowing through the canals. The turbines can be portable so you can store them during the dry months. You could use one to charge the ecoflow batteries or run multiple turbines in series to run more devices. It will help when the Sun is not fulfilling your needs.
Kitchen towels - cut them into a pattern and quilt them together. If the towels are 100 percent cotton, the leftover bits can be used as insulation or composted. Mending using the Sashiko method is a beautiful alternative which highlights the mend rather than covering it up. Congrats on the new solar. It'll make a huge difference.
One or two holes, repair, but so many of those towels required at least 15 minutes of repair. I realise the volunteers aren't being paid but could the work hours be better spent elsewhere?
As a farmer, I never wear any such flashy colors, because if i do, I attract all the insects. I tried once for fun, had to change after 15 min.. impossible to work.. I guess you guys will figure it out in the summer when you will keep the windows and doors closed or protected.
Cleaning rag solution: Everyone gets rid of Tshirts. They are cotton and very absorbent when washed and dried with no fabric softener. One tshirt has at least 2 good sized cleaning rags in it. No seams no graphics. Remember no fabric softener! I have 2 mottos that we share. Recycle, repurpose, reuse and T.E.A.M. T=Together E=Everyone A=Accomplishes M=More Good Job guys! Love that electric box, it's beautiful!
This is a good idea! Also separating a few beat up rags from proper "kitchen towels" which you want to keep decently nice, and don't want to get greasy or dirt-filled.
It is not even that bad -- people are exaggerating. I like it because it highlights the concept of ProjectKamp fostering a community of people from different backgrounds to help create a recycled village.
I love the colors! It makes it feel bright and happy. I use colorful totes to container garden in my backyard. It brings in the pollinators and makes me feel happy even on a gloomy day. Love it! Keep up the amazing job you are all doing. I love your videos.
For old rags that are heavily damaged I usually cut or tear them and use them in 'dirty' applications such as rags for the garage, staining wood or hand towel when doing dirty jobs.
Wife has a pecking order for spent socks and t shirts similar to that. Old socks she'll replace the heels of worn socks is part one. Part 2 is rags for waxing the car. Part 3 some jobs are so dirty you don't even want them in the washing machine. What others would use half a roll of paper towels on. She saved a tree instead by using an end stage rag destined for the trash. But it did have 3 extra lives.
If you want to repair the towels without a sewing machine, there are a few ways: If you stick with cut-out patches, you can still sew them on by hand. It takes longer, but uses no electricity. You can even pull a few strings out from the to-be-cut towel to use as sewing thread. If you don't have any material to do patches with, you can still use any cotton or linen thread/yarn and weave a patch. Search for sock mending weaving on youtube, and follow the instructions. No matter the size of the hole, the method will be the same. Thats how i learned it! If you grow skilled enough, you can even replicate the color scheme of the towel, because those are typically woven themselves.
I love it. Super bright and colourful how can you not feel happy when you look at that trailer? Next vote I think should be for a new name for this work of art because pig trailer just doesn’t sound warm or welcoming for the new residents haha. Cheers everyone keep up the awesomeness:)
I liked that the vote ended up in favor of the pig trailer, I thought it was a very interesting choice and I truly enjoyed watching you all build it up to this :D But the colour scheme that won is truly horrendous. It hurts my brain to look at it. All blue would have been so much better! But alas, those are the dangers of giving away the choice to the people that don't have to live there :P
those are pretty small sections of HPL panelling so it might be fine, but I'd really recommend you pre-drill and use dome head screws, not countersunk. That allows for the expansion of the panel due to temperature and humidity changes (HPL containing wood fiber, it often warps a little with atmospheric humidity changes).
I think your Patrion followers are having a laugh - saying that you guys really are implementing the decisions they make, beautifully. Keep it going through winter! Pleeeeeeeeeeeesssseese!
If the building envelope is sound, the colours are a gift from your environment, need we say more? I look forward to project kamp's continued evolution.🖖👍🤙👊

Adding this splash of mixed bright colour to the Kamp, is just the sort of thing you need, drawing you slightly outside your comfort zones. And hey, it's cheerful - enjoy!

Project kamp is awesome, I love Julie and Rita they are my kind of girls, hardworking and low maintenance, never shave your pits, down with the patriarchy lol
You can call it the Smartie House, I really like it, would look great with cactus/succulent garden around it, the shade cloth on yhe front is great and hope you can incorporate a awning into the final design 🎉🎉🎉
I heavily recommend that they take some UV resistant weatherproof rated silicone sealant around those colorful panels. Or seepage (especially during storm winds) will get in and the untreated wood beneath will mold and rot....
The black wrap under the panels and battens is the waterproof layer, these panels are just a rain shield, you want the space behind to be vented so it can dry
Play good afternoon you guys hope you guys have a wonderful day keep up the good work I'm proud of you guys the new solar cell is going to work real good you guys all right God bless you guys and have fun out there and just enjoy
For the Cow-Trailer: Get black paint (or make some using charcoal and lindseed oil) and partially scratch away afterwards while still wet, like the wax crayon scratch technique for kids.
I knew you guys would pull it off and make a decent accommodation. I did not vote for that one or the colour combo but it will serve its purpose and look fun for the aerial footage.
Kitchen towels - mend the holes as you have done but then sew two towels back to back with the patches in the middle so that they are more protected from fraying or tearing and the whole cloth is made stronger.
Great color scheme! I think it should be a reminder to never let internet choose on these kind of things. I think it should be embraced and transformed into a meme and an inside joke for all of project kamp and us. Still i hope this won't be a regular thing because i think stuff should blend in the environment. On the other hand you could just paint it over but i hope you wont.
So..choosing to ignore the fact they use a petrol combustion engine pickup truck? Film on Asian made electronics, buy hardware, nails, tools and more from the developed (polluting) world. 'sustainability' here is an absolute myth - yes they get some electricity from the sun, but that's about it - the rest is just off the shelf shit bought from the same polluting companies anyone else would buy from.. Oh also half the team seems to fly in and out, chopping and changing every couple months..the irony of these eco warriors is that they think they're doing good for the planet when they are probably doing worse for it than average people in developed western countries.. It's like watching the Amish except way way worse.. and completely in denial about the substance of their mission..
For repairing textile SASHIKO or BURO is perfect! you also use a patch and then handstitch all over the patch and a little more so it stays more solid. Easiest way to go is - - - (: such an interesting update once more! Keep going!❤
I really liked the last videos and how there was a constant project (the pigtrailer) and something else. It feels as if we are more in the project with you (if that makes sense).
The wiring is a fire hazard. Part of the reason you put electric cables in (fire retardant or metal) tubes is to prevent electric fires from spreading. Surrounding uncovered cables with recycled fabric is the diametric opposite of running it through conduit so far as fire safety is concerned.
Different countries > different safety standards. Maybe the cables themselves are safer than the ones you know? Or its simply not required for buildings of a certain size. 🤷♀️ In germany we usually don't use metal tubes too (or at least I didn't notice them in all the buildingsites I visited until now).
@@mrjakobt seems to many are not realizing this is officially an indoor space because of all the waterproofing and cladding they used. Even trailer homes are not required to run pipes through interior walls. Outdoor wiring absolutely would call for pipes.
I'm not sure if you can find thrifted flannel sheets in Portugal, but if you can find some, they make great towels. Cut them in the size you want and zig zag stitch the edges. The are very absorbent and very durable.
Ah I don’t think the colours are bad! It should make people smile. And at least it’s way better than dark brown or black which would be way too hot. Glad to see you guys are able to add more solar power. Glad to see you guys are establishing an even better energy system!
The colors remind me very much of 1970's American television. Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, The Dating Game, and Hollywood Squares. All of those make me smile...
I like the colors and how you've laid them out! It looks very retro, reminds me of campus buildings from the 1970's (dating myself here). It needs MCM-styled furniture inside. Well done!
Honestly, I hated the pattern when I saw the concept art for it, but now I think it's actually super cute!! It reminds me of sherbet ice cream. I hope you guys grow to like it eventually!!
That walls went out much better than I expected 😮 At first after voting I was really worried. But now it’s just a sign of positive (and maybe a bit… gypsy?) energy! Good job 👍
Honestly i enjoy the look. Whimsy and creativity is often lost in our modern cookie cutter design sense. Look at the bland suburbs in the US or how all modern cars basically look alike. The trailer house is a sum of everything that went into its creation. It’s unique, a sum of it’s parts, and interesting just like human beings. All design should try and achieve this. I think we’d care more about things we use if they were less like background noise.
Call that thing "The Candy House" and nobody will be mistaken about which house you're referring to haha! And now you've been there done that so you're ready to move on to better choices in the future. Always something to celebrate, right? :D

As an electrician this was hard to watch. Never risk fire for some plastic pipes.
I always use tubes.
First you can repair or modify.
Second ads an extra insulation layer, that normaly is made of hard to burn plastic.
I would buy a roll of kitchen towel textile, sew new kitchen towels if the old ones are worn and use the old ones as workshop rags.
One or two holes, repair, but so many of those towels required at least 15 minutes of repair. I realise the volunteers aren't being paid but could the work hours be better spent elsewhere?
Or just buy new towels. If someone really loves to make towels and sew that's one thing. Otherwise it's a waste of time and energy.
That is the Boaty McBoat-Face of colour schemes
You can use a drying rack (made by precious plastic!!!) for cutlery so your drying towels dont break in the first place
Just use an old can from vegetables and drill some holes in the bottom

It could never have blended in with the environment with the material they were using.
@@airenesmiler6624 Maybe a bit better if they made really small panels so the colors mix together from afar.
Absolutely an embarrassment 😞

Recycle and reuse, we need to do more. Beautiful camp , mother nature, mother Earth, love your planet ❤️. Everyone needs to take care of them.
So..choosing to ignore the fact they use a petrol combustion engine pickup truck? Film on Asian made electronics, buy hardware, nails, tools and more from the developed (polluting) world.
'sustainability' here is an absolute myth - yes they get some electricity from the sun, but that's about it - the rest is just off the shelf shit bought from the same polluting companies anyone else would buy from..
Oh also half the team seems to fly in and out, chopping and changing every couple months..the irony of these eco warriors is that they think they're doing good for the planet when they are probably doing worse for it than average people in developed western countries..
It's like watching the Amish except way way worse.. and completely in denial about the substance of their mission..
Your hard work and dedication shows.
Keep up the good work
The colors are reminiscent of the Partridge Family bus, but brighter!
For repairing textile SASHIKO or BURO is perfect! you also use a patch and then handstitch all over the patch and a little more so it stays more solid. Easiest way to go is - - - (: such an interesting update once more! Keep going!❤
I love it, colour never hurt anyone and it will make everyone smile.
the pig trailer makes me happy 😂 im so excited to see it when its all done
I really like the colours of the pig trailer, good choice and excellent re-use of these panels.
It is a happy house! No regrets on the votes! ❤😊
I really liked the last videos and how there was a constant project (the pigtrailer) and something else. It feels as if we are more in the project with you (if that makes sense).
When I first saw the house I did not like it but now love it. It grows on you. The color draws you in and comforts you. I Love that it is recycled.
The wiring is a fire hazard. Part of the reason you put electric cables in (fire retardant or metal) tubes is to prevent electric fires from spreading. Surrounding uncovered cables with recycled fabric is the diametric opposite of running it through conduit so far as fire safety is concerned.
Different countries > different safety standards.
Maybe the cables themselves are safer than the ones you know? Or its simply not required for buildings of a certain size. 🤷♀️
In germany we usually don't use metal tubes too (or at least I didn't notice them in all the buildingsites I visited until now).
Not required with the European style of cabling. Stop talking shit about things you’re clearly not educated on.
Woah!@@mrjakobt
Insulation is non-combustible/ fire rated. No need to place in conduit.
@@mrjakobt seems to many are not realizing this is officially an indoor space because of all the waterproofing and cladding they used. Even trailer homes are not required to run pipes through interior walls. Outdoor wiring absolutely would call for pipes.
I love how the colorful panels look. they remind me of colorful cities like Valparaiso
Hourra for the giant "rubick cub". Nice works😉😊😀😄😄😄
Bon courage and stay safe👍👍👍👍👍
I really enjoyed this update! Great that you have more solar, nice variety of different types of jobs. The new people intro is very good too. 😊😊
I'm not sure if you can find thrifted flannel sheets in Portugal, but if you can find some, they make great towels. Cut them in the size you want and zig zag stitch the edges. The are very absorbent and very durable.
Ah I don’t think the colours are bad! It should make people smile. And at least it’s way better than dark brown or black which would be way too hot.
Glad to see you guys are able to add more solar power. Glad to see you guys are establishing an even better energy system!
Great work guys ❤, i think I'm addicted to Colin's voice
The colours on the new house look fabulous 👌
You could paint it white to reduce heat from the sun 😇
It's fun, unique, colorful and will provide a conversation starter for folks for a long time to come. Congrats on being willing to have some fun!
The colors remind me very much of 1970's American television. Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, The Dating Game, and Hollywood Squares. All of those make me smile...
Or a Piet Mondrian painting.
Excellent work from everyone!! Such talented folks!!! Love it!!
I like the colors and how you've laid them out! It looks very retro, reminds me of campus buildings from the 1970's (dating myself here). It needs MCM-styled furniture inside. Well done!
Honestly, I hated the pattern when I saw the concept art for it, but now I think it's actually super cute!! It reminds me of sherbet ice cream. I hope you guys grow to like it eventually!!
I love how the trailer turned out! You are young people, it should look young and fun!
Remember. You can always paint the outside one colour!! Outside people don’t always make a good decision ❤. Change it please lolol
You need help if you hate that. It's beautiful.
I agree. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen...
That walls went out much better than I expected 😮 At first after voting I was really worried. But now it’s just a sign of positive (and maybe a bit… gypsy?) energy! Good job 👍
Keep up the good work guys! Greetings from Greece!
I love the little repair projects, its very what we struggle with, patching pants is a big one at our place!
the reactions to the colours of the trailer were priceless hahaha
Honestly i enjoy the look. Whimsy and creativity is often lost in our modern cookie cutter design sense. Look at the bland suburbs in the US or how all modern cars basically look alike. The trailer house is a sum of everything that went into its creation. It’s unique, a sum of it’s parts, and interesting just like human beings. All design should try and achieve this. I think we’d care more about things we use if they were less like background noise.
guys, it looks amazing, really disruptive and vivid, i would love to stay there
So bright and cheerful. Definitely Recycled Chic ^_~
Interesting product from Milanote. I very rarely watch those ads, but I actually checked that whole one out👍
The colours are top 🎉
i really like the bright vibrant color combo! it's cheerful and exciting!
Call that thing "The Candy House" and nobody will be mistaken about which house you're referring to haha! And now you've been there done that so you're ready to move on to better choices in the future. Always something to celebrate, right? :D
