Not just because the pulling damages the inner pipe, but because they seem to have just used the same valve, which feeds the water into the outer tube which is leaky as hell
Don’t know why he doesn’t just slightly open the water source after cutting the pipe to see if the pipe flows ONLY in the small pipe or both. Both could indicate his logic makes sense, but only the small pipe would prove he is wrong. Or he can keep pulling on the upstream pipe and keep breaking it.
my guess is the big pipe is the original pipe and when it started leaking instead of digging a new trench they pulled a smaller one trough, thats why there's the size difference there to the rest of the system. just a guess tho.

I have been saying the same thing many times! Get some protective boots and pants when operating a chain saw! Also the chain seemed a little dull, or is Mimosa just that dense that it cuts slow?
I also didn't understand this.. They could clearly see it was too high, and then they just left it? I have a feeling this is a bad habit that a lot of the volunteers do at this Kamp. Lotssss of "easy" solutions that aren't actually proper solutions. Maybe just cause they're trying to get a video out each week so they don't have time to fix things when it doesn't work according to plan?
I wouldn’t say the comments are too negative. They’re just comments. The Project Camp title clearly states that it is, among other things, to test, study, try out various methods by sharing knowledge (good or less good). The English call it “Learning by doing”. The greatest recipes are the result of error, chance and often unsuccessful attempts until they lead to a tasty result. Good luck to our «campers» friends.
I agree with you. Some comments are very negative and sarcastic. Project Kamp should have some people to teach and show how to do it properly. "Learning by doing" but properly. These young people are the result of our present society. No skills to do any labour jobs or use any tools. One thing they have is the will to learn and try.
Hi, the fire extinguishers will not do much at all in a wild fire, speaking as a wild fire fighter in Australia. They are designed for very small fires for example a waste paper basket, not a wild fire. You will run out of what is in the extinguishers before you have any impact on a wild fire. Be careful as it can create a false sense of security. You would do better with a petrol or diesel water pump with your pond. In Australia, they are sold as fire fighting pumps. You will have a far greater water source and water pressure. Note that the heat from a wild fire penetrats into the ground and can melt pipes that are buried close to the surface.
That being said from what I have seen of your land I think the best course of action would be to evacuate in a wild fire. Develop an evacuation plan including the triggers for evacuation, best to leave early, and a safe location that you will be evacuating to. I think you would have a good chance of a crowning fire. A fire in the crowns, tops of the trees, leaping from tree top to tree top. This can move ahead of the ground fire and would be impossible for you to fight.
the fire extinguishers are not there for wild fires, they are there to make sure if fire starts at camp can be put out quickly and not cause a bigger fire. I am however interested in what type of extinguisher they are. co2, water or powder? also they should have a schedule to check and maintain good levels in the extinguishers. no use just putting them in, they need to be checked on a regular basis.
There's always an investigation phase when you are trying to reduce materials - there's a big difference in the comments from this week to last week. I suspect when the digger comes is the time for resolving the pipe issue, at that time you can get all the plastic stuff out of the ground, evaluate and possible make a much better pipe layout on the land with some allowance possible for fire suppression, even if it's just an outlet near the road to keep an escape route cool for an hour or two. Always enjoy the videos.
The inner pipe is the good pipe and the outer pipe is there to protect the inner pipe. At this point just replace the whole thing. Not everything needs to be reused to save money, you might even save time by making it right
Dave here. Still not very convinced of this 🫣 The pipes have the same diameter everywhere, from the T-piece where it starts to the end. Someone explain me the logic of: 'inner pipe is the main pipe' because I dont get it
@@ProjectKamp the big pipe broke at some point so instead of changing it they introduced a smaller pipe and kept the bigger pipe to protect the smaller one
Oh? Were you wincing too when he tried repeating his experiment? When both inner and outer pipes are leaking at multiple points, this is what it will take to arrive at acceptance. Denial being the first stage of grief. Had to replace my own water main in the dead of winter a few years back, I feel his pain. The pipes will be salvaged for other purposes, but not for this particular run of pipe.
I didn't like the part where the guy was resting a log on his thigh to saw through it. It looked really dangerous, what if the saw slipped or something? And that was just a hand saw. I saw another comment raising concerns about their chainsaw use
I love this project, but please invest in proper protective wear for the landscaping team! Someone could die in a matter of minutes if the chainsaw jumps onto an unprotected leg.
I'm laughing so hard because obviously the sun is still shining on the fire extinguisher 😂 hhhhmmmm maybe could have placed the extinguisher on the shady side of the building?? All the other ones look great and I loved the use of the magnets and they signs are super!!
Every structure needs at least one Fire Extinguisher. Also, they need to be weather protected. Trust me, a rusted out fire extinguisher is as dangerous a risk as a fire. My uncle was an EMT/Firefighter for 40 years and he would tell you a lot more. Consider getting the local fire marshal (Not sure what title they go by in Portugal) to come in and help evaluate general preparedness. Also, put one in each vehicle. My daily driver vehicles all have a fire extinguisher. Even the non-permanent residents. A small tank one can make a difference in a pinch. Finally, I see the PPE worn to use the trimmer/week whacker but the lack of for the chainsaw. Any time I see this, I'm gonna call it out and there are others.
yep, i was thinking a same, why would they put it outside on the sun and exposed to all weather conditions, making super fancy signs but not covering an extinguisher
Ok, I love you guys. I need you to pour buckets of water into those holes and let it settle, before you plant anything. Those roots need water to have their best chance. Putting buckets of water into the holes and getting them nice and hydrated will increase success and lessen shock immensely. Also, putting the root ball in water during transport will go a long way too. Well composted manures are a great choice. ❤
have you seen the other fruit trees? doing well? high grass close too the yougn fruit trees outcompeting with water and food... They care more about the stupid grass than their fruit tress. goddamn you want fruit or hay?
@@klm20079 Try not to be too hard on them. They are learning. We can suggest they use up some brown cardboard to make a rounded barrier around the trees with a good 10 cm of mulch on top. Even put some nice composted stuff under the cardboard for an extra food boost. That will help to keep the rodents away and keep the grass from out competing the fruit trees. If you recall, they planted the trees just before ending their season there so it may not have been on their radar.
@@angelad.8944 in the google era its pretty easy to find information, though.....seems they dont really try that hard a lot of the time...bc most of them are just temporarily there
Also you shouldnt put compost in the bottom of the holes because then the roots have all the nutrients they need right there and the tree doesnt put as many roots into the ground. Instead, put compost on top, around the trunk, and then when it rains the nutrients will be slowly relesed into the soil.
The branches should be pruned also. If 1/4 of the roots were lost, then 1/4 less water can be transported through the tree to keep the leaves alive. This is common gardening knowledge and is especially important when re-potting bonsai.
It is finally time that the camp is investing some money into proper ropes. In all videos I saw that thin cords that cuts into your hands when you have to pull on them. You definitely need a set of ropes together with carabiner as they are used for climbing. With such a set you can cut your trees much safer!!!
With the trees you did not have many roots left. Cut back the branches quite a lot to reduce transpiration from the leaves to give the trees a chance to recover from the shock. No guarantee they will survive, but you will massively increase their chances of survival.
Hey !!! Fantastic job guys !!! Always nice to see you doing stuff !!! Here it goes a recommendation.. when you plant things that dont have much root system its a good practice to prune most of the leaves. If the plant has to much leaves to send energy and sap and almost nothing of roots its more difficult to survive !!! Hope this helps !!!
The chance for the planted trees is small as they have no roots and plenty of leaves to evaporate the little amount of water that is sucked in. With the high summer temperatures It will become very hard to create roots. It would be better if you remove a lot of leaves upfront, so the trees can focus on growing roots.
It also looked like they buried a load of the stem, which won't be great and increases the risk of the bark rotting. I think leaving them in pots to recouperate was a good idea and they should have been given a season or so to grow in them.
The base of trunk can never be below surface, guys! It's where cells differentiate between trunk and roots. If i'ts buried, it doesn't work. Tree will not develop and may even die. But congratulations, nice landscape work!!
i LOVE the flower bed and how those species have found a new home. you should prune them to make the move a little easier and promote new growth :) and the fungus will thank you so much for all the mulch and woodchip you used! keep up the amazing work :)))))))
Hey guys, a few words regarding the fire extinguisher situation: I strongly recommend that you acquire wildfire suppression backpacks (which are easily refillable and can be operated by one person) and fire beaters for Project Kamp, as the powder extinguishers shown in the video will only help you for a very short time with very small fires. I hope my suggestion can be of help to you. Greetings from a volunteer fire department in Germany.
Love it! ❤ the way how sustainable landscape is turning around as of the idea promised from day 1 on this channel. as always lots of love n support from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
When planting anything You really want to soak the soil afterwards. It really needs a lot of water, more than you think. You want the whole ground around the plant to be moist to stimulate the roots.
A couple of tips, to sharpen posts why not try cutting the branches on the diagonal? if you do this you will get two sharp ends then cut the other ends square. The replanted fruit trees and roses would benefit from a light pruning, it would help with water loss through transpiration and promote new growth.
we made swales for our orchard but we fill them with old chunks of wood and bark in the winter this absorbs more water like a sponge and saves even more water for the summer - it also stops the ground going hard and cracked
I would also recommend fire retardant ‘blankets’. They come in various sizes and for example around your oven would be a better fit. They are not heavy, like a fire extinguisher, they can be used more than once if not too badly damaged and can be applied faster than foam. Having the back-up should a fire extinguisher malfunction, or to use in conjunction with a fire extinguisher could be a game changer. They mount to the wall, just like the extinguishers.
The pipe-riddle would have been easy to solve imo at 6:48: just open up the valve uphill and it should be possible to determine out auf which pipe the water flows, inner or outer.
You should really see about floating the inlet of that water line. Very simplest way to do it is to just get a cheap buoy or a boat fender, tie a string to it that keeps the inlet a few inches below the water line. That stops both sediment from the bottom and anything drifting on the surface from getting in.
put a plastic 2-liter bottle of water with each fire extinguisher, it is often enough to put out a starting fire, for example in a trash can, and there is no need to spit out the fire extinguisher, and with them, be careful about the seal on the sun, it sometimes gets hot and the propellant gas escapes, so it does not work
If you put compost at the bottom the water can’t drives nutrients to the roots, compost needs to be higher than the roots and protected from the sunshine ;) thanks for your videos guys
Hello ! Love your project and I wanted to share a tip for mimosas. I'm also strugling with eucalyptus in my land (Monchique) and one year ago we started chopping to space them out and nailed copper nails in each stump. I truly believe it is working with less and slower regrowth.
I was shocked to see in a couple of videos back that wool is a waste product in Portugal. There is a company in the US that makes insulation out of wool. It's a natural product without glass fibers. This could be a good recycling business for you to start that would provide income, and the farmers would love you for taking their waste wool.
i spent time on sheep farms in europe and i can tell you that wool is worth very little money here these days - id be very surprised if this was any different in the us. nowadays the sheep farms exist because of the lambs. the lambs are sold for their meat. the wool is no longer the main product, but sold for nearly nothing or used as a waste product of the meat industry.
Same this is happening in New Zealand. I've heard of farmers having over 5 years worth of wool stored that's barely worth the cost of transporting off their farm.
Good idea about recycling but could you "outline" how to proceed? Collecting all the wool, washing, maybe extracting the natural grease(lanolin) threading..... I will be checking how the US companies make the insulation materials.
32:20 When you replant trees like this, make sure you give them at least 2 minutes of water after you put them in the ground, so that the soil fills the holes between the roots and they have a good start in their new life wherever you put them.
If you wanna cut such a big space of grass at this length consider getting a scythe, may take a bit of practice but then it's a lot faster than with a trimmer it's also better for the wildlife around you
Scary! They really need someone to guide and teach them the right way to work and do it properly. Induction classes on how to use different tools and safety procedures. All these young people are interested in learning and doing something useful. I do not think that they are lazy. They need to be taught properly.
Hey there: I agree with Angelad regarding watering the holes BEFORE you put anything in them. Also, I think you should stake-up the new trees you planted. Don't make them too supported, but something would be valuable. Take care, DA
After cutting all the grass it can be good to rake it into rows along the berms to focus where nutrients and life are. Also those transplated trees at the end would do a lot better with a heavy prune so the pant isn't trying to support so much foliage while reestablishing itself.
I hope, the roses and trees will make it. To rescue my rose plant from the vandalism of construktions workers, I kept the roots in a bucket of water while reshaping the devastated area. And when planting it again, I put a bag of special soil for growing roses in the bottom of the hole.
Yeah, I'm betting the inner tube is the water tube and the outter tube is to prevent from damage for accidental digging or animals bitting or something. Also when putting the valve they should put it on the inner tube, and for god sake stop pulling it cuz you'll damage it more. The rest of the video was great!!! Have a nice week guys! 💪
Actually listen to the comments. Doesn't matter why there is a double tube. Probable at one point the tube started leaking and they inserted a smaller one. You could acually do this yourself 😀
I am absolutely entranced with this series. The things you have done with that ruined land is amazing! I would be very interested in knowing if you are planning on rebuilding any of the other ruined buildings or just the community center?
I realize why I like this channel so much. It's a mix of big brother and survivor -esque story telling but there are no rivalries or games just problems to be solved and collaborative work. ❤
Monday is the happiest day of the week for me because i get to see you guys. Feom the fisrt video to till you guys post your videos i will be watching and supporting. There is nth but eternal joy while watching you guys. 🥰🥰
The pipe broke below the upper tee. instead of digging and replacing the entire pipe, they cut in below then upper tee and used the older pipe as a conduit/sleeve to install a replacement pipe, it saves a lot of digging/cost.
Some recycled plastic as tree guards would ensure the srtrimmers don’t accidentally whack the young trees potentially damaging their bark? Also some mulch chippings around them to stop the grass smothering their roots.
Those beds with the chipping look great so do the steps. I can't imagine some of those trees will take though looking by the lack of roots. I think you should add more topsoil to mix with the chipping and plant some berry bushes there instead. Then chop some logs and inoculate them with various mushrooms varieties and sit them around there. Absolutely love watching the progress, I would love to come and visit and help!
my back hurts just watching you people. stoked for you all to have this property and caring for the land the way you are.. developing it with your vision.
Looks like @xanokothe is correct. You are just doing more damage. Couple the black pipe where the "leak" was. Then couple the metal pipe that goes over that black (ABS) pipe. Then go to the valve you installed on the metal pipe at the end of the system (the original valve). Remove that. Then cut that metal pipe back and install a valve on the ABS pipe, not the metal one. @Xanokothe is correct. That metal pipe is acting as a sleeve to protect that black ABS pipe from fracturing when the ground compacts. Even at the new place you cut and put the new valve on the water is just backflowing between the ABS and metal pipes void, back uphill to the next weak spot where it can leak out again.
The grass seems to be growing up to the stems of the fruit trees. Please free the area around each stem for at least 1m diameter. Grass is a strong competition and the trees wont grow if the grass stays. They also need a watering regularily (better a lot once a week, not a bit every day) and feed.
Cut back the outer pipe then install the valve on just the inner pipe. From what I see in the videos the pipe from the pond to the office is a single pipe then somewhere between the office and the community center it transitions to the double pipe scenario.
Oeh at 7:45 that cracked ground is a sign of clay rich ground. Maybe collect the chunks and wet-separate it from the dirt and create pottery from it ^^ very sustainable
That piece of rusty metal Dave fished out of his mucked out water trough was a scythe. What we used to cut down hay and brush predating expensive machinery. Far too labor intensive to use for the volume of maintenance needed on 10 hectares, and the fruit trees are too delicate to risk operating there. Volunteer as a scythe operator, see how long you last.
Dig the whole pipe, end to end, it'll make a nice update video. Also tie a rope to the end that is in the pond, no need to go back into the water next time it clogs up. Also for the fire extinguisher, if you can't drill, use glue or regular silicon. The signs as well, simply glue them on.
If you prune the trees you planted right back, they’ll have more chance of survival because they can transfer all their energy to their roots and need less water to compensate for more evapotranspiration with loads of leaves
Dave i installed a 25mm pipe and put a tyleen pipe in it for water for my ponys.. Just protection for cold weather. It works great..it doesnot freeze...so it just might be orotection and its from past times maybe colder winters....Just a thought
Onbegrijpelijk, zoveel eigenwijsheid. Volgens mij heb ik vorige keer ook al geroepen dat de dikke de mantelbuis is. Dat is een vrij gebruikelijk principe.
It’s amazing when such brilliant and smart people can not see the obvious :) why would you put a pipe in a pipe if the outer pipe carried the water? It has to be the inner pipe! I was in pain watching the last pipe pulling video 😂
Everyone on project kamp are hardworking individuals,i wish you all more success!. And also want you to see videos of Martijn Doolaard for self sufficient living ideas that you may apply in your area
building steps, there is a rule here in North America, that the combined height of the rise and the tread equals 17 inches, and if there is more than 1/2 inch variant in the rise, it will become a trip hazard. if the rise is super low, then the tread can and should be more that the remainder of the 17 inches. For fruit trees, best time to transplant is very early in the spring, while they are still dormant.....but they can be moved all year around. Really looks like ca complete replacement of that old pipe system is necessary, a little research says that over time PVC (black plastic pipe) gets brittle, if it is subject to forest fire, extreme heat , afterwards it will leech out benzene, a carcinogen. Good luck guys
I would suggest looking through Andrew Millison’s amazing RUclips content for some land management inspiration. PS, not a farmer myself but grew up close to a farming community where burying smaller diameter pipes enclosed in a larger diameter was also common practice. I was told the small air gap provided some insulation but I have no idea how true this is.
So the idea would be the same as why you run wires though conduit... In theory if you disconnect the smaller pipe at both ends you should be able to use a tractor to pull the small pipe out of the big pipe and replace it.... meaning you dont have to dig the whole trench... thats the theory. But it relys on you knowing where the ends are.... You wont pull it out until you dis-connect the other end.

I was thinking the exact same thing :)) It looks to have been placed too high in relationship to the extinguisher
facts. it should be protected from all directed sunlight not just a top
was here to comment about it. Glad someone else already did it.
I also didn't understand this.. They could clearly see it was too high, and then they just left it? I have a feeling this is a bad habit that a lot of the volunteers do at this Kamp. Lotssss of "easy" solutions that aren't actually proper solutions. Maybe just cause they're trying to get a video out each week so they don't have time to fix things when it doesn't work according to plan?
I wouldn’t say the comments are too negative. They’re just comments. The Project Camp title clearly states that it is, among other things, to test, study, try out various methods by sharing knowledge (good or less good). The English call it “Learning by doing”. The greatest recipes are the result of error, chance and often unsuccessful attempts until they lead to a tasty result. Good luck to our «campers» friends.
I agree with you. Some comments are very negative and sarcastic. Project Kamp should have some people to teach and show how to do it properly. "Learning by doing" but properly. These young people are the result of our present society. No skills to do any labour jobs or use any tools. One thing they have is the will to learn and try.
@@PaquiCamus some of them are just worried about their health i'd imagine. like the comments about chainsaw use
Hi, the fire extinguishers will not do much at all in a wild fire, speaking as a wild fire fighter in Australia. They are designed for very small fires for example a waste paper basket, not a wild fire. You will run out of what is in the extinguishers before you have any impact on a wild fire. Be careful as it can create a false sense of security.
You would do better with a petrol or diesel water pump with your pond. In Australia, they are sold as fire fighting pumps.
You will have a far greater water source and water pressure. Note that the heat from a wild fire penetrats into the ground and can melt pipes that are buried close to the surface.
That being said from what I have seen of your land I think the best course of action would be to evacuate in a wild fire. Develop an evacuation plan including the triggers for evacuation, best to leave early, and a safe location that you will be evacuating to.
I think you would have a good chance of a crowning fire. A fire in the crowns, tops of the trees, leaping from tree top to tree top. This can move ahead of the ground fire and would be impossible for you to fight.
the fire extinguishers are not there for wild fires, they are there to make sure if fire starts at camp can be put out quickly and not cause a bigger fire. I am however interested in what type of extinguisher they are. co2, water or powder? also they should have a schedule to check and maintain good levels in the extinguishers. no use just putting them in, they need to be checked on a regular basis.
There's always an investigation phase when you are trying to reduce materials - there's a big difference in the comments from this week to last week. I suspect when the digger comes is the time for resolving the pipe issue, at that time you can get all the plastic stuff out of the ground, evaluate and possible make a much better pipe layout on the land with some allowance possible for fire suppression, even if it's just an outlet near the road to keep an escape route cool for an hour or two. Always enjoy the videos.
The inner pipe is the good pipe and the outer pipe is there to protect the inner pipe. At this point just replace the whole thing. Not everything needs to be reused to save money, you might even save time by making it right
Remember it is OKAY to be wrong…. This time the RUclips community is correct 🎉
Dave here. Still not very convinced of this 🫣
The pipes have the same diameter everywhere, from the T-piece where it starts to the end.
Someone explain me the logic of: 'inner pipe is the main pipe' because I dont get it
@@ProjectKamp the big pipe broke at some point so instead of changing it they introduced a smaller pipe and kept the bigger pipe to protect the smaller one
@@ProjectKampthey replace outer pipes when they leak, to inner pipes that don't leak..
This is embarrassing for you
@@ProjectKampmeasure the inlet in the lake. This is probably the same size as the inner pipe
Lol, when you are wrong and convinced you arent, just double down! Keep on breaking your insulated pipe!
Its infuriating. I'm so close to leaving...
Oh? Were you wincing too when he tried repeating his experiment? When both inner and outer pipes are leaking at multiple points, this is what it will take to arrive at acceptance. Denial being the first stage of grief. Had to replace my own water main in the dead of winter a few years back, I feel his pain. The pipes will be salvaged for other purposes, but not for this particular run of pipe.
😂Just about everything in this episode was "sketchy". 😂🤪👍
I didn't like the part where the guy was resting a log on his thigh to saw through it. It looked really dangerous, what if the saw slipped or something? And that was just a hand saw. I saw another comment raising concerns about their chainsaw use
I love this project, but please invest in proper protective wear for the landscaping team! Someone could die in a matter of minutes if the chainsaw jumps onto an unprotected leg.
I'm laughing so hard because obviously the sun is still shining on the fire extinguisher 😂 hhhhmmmm maybe could have placed the extinguisher on the shady side of the building?? All the other ones look great and I loved the use of the magnets and they signs are super!!
Yeah. There's absolutely no way that little roof does anything.
I cannot believe you pulled that poor pipe again :))
Every structure needs at least one Fire Extinguisher. Also, they need to be weather protected. Trust me, a rusted out fire extinguisher is as dangerous a risk as a fire. My uncle was an EMT/Firefighter for 40 years and he would tell you a lot more. Consider getting the local fire marshal (Not sure what title they go by in Portugal) to come in and help evaluate general preparedness.
Also, put one in each vehicle. My daily driver vehicles all have a fire extinguisher. Even the non-permanent residents. A small tank one can make a difference in a pinch.
Finally, I see the PPE worn to use the trimmer/week whacker but the lack of for the chainsaw. Any time I see this, I'm gonna call it out and there are others.
yep, i was thinking a same, why would they put it outside on the sun and exposed to all weather conditions, making super fancy signs but not covering an extinguisher
@@milliondollarart its bc those people dont actually live there beyond this summer so they dont care
its like a tv show of people playing....or they are just stupid
Ok, I love you guys. I need you to pour buckets of water into those holes and let it settle, before you plant anything. Those roots need water to have their best chance. Putting buckets of water into the holes and getting them nice and hydrated will increase success and lessen shock immensely. Also, putting the root ball in water during transport will go a long way too. Well composted manures are a great choice. ❤
have you seen the other fruit trees? doing well? high grass close too the yougn fruit trees outcompeting with water and food... They care more about the stupid grass than their fruit tress. goddamn you want fruit or hay?
@@klm20079 Try not to be too hard on them. They are learning. We can suggest they use up some brown cardboard to make a rounded barrier around the trees with a good 10 cm of mulch on top. Even put some nice composted stuff under the cardboard for an extra food boost. That will help to keep the rodents away and keep the grass from out competing the fruit trees. If you recall, they planted the trees just before ending their season there so it may not have been on their radar.
@@angelad.8944 in the google era its pretty easy to find information, though.....seems they dont really try that hard a lot of the time...bc most of them are just temporarily there
Also you shouldnt put compost in the bottom of the holes because then the roots have all the nutrients they need right there and the tree doesnt put as many roots into the ground.
Instead, put compost on top, around the trunk, and then when it rains the nutrients will be slowly relesed into the soil.
The branches should be pruned also. If 1/4 of the roots were lost, then 1/4 less water can be transported through the tree to keep the leaves alive. This is common gardening knowledge and is especially important when re-potting bonsai.
It is finally time that the camp is investing some money into proper ropes. In all videos I saw that thin cords that cuts into your hands when you have to pull on them. You definitely need a set of ropes together with carabiner as they are used for climbing. With such a set you can cut your trees much safer!!!
best part of the monday has arrived!
Watching this pipedrama feels like a projected meltdown
With the trees you did not have many roots left. Cut back the branches quite a lot to reduce transpiration from the leaves to give the trees a chance to recover from the shock.
No guarantee they will survive, but you will massively increase their chances of survival.
The pipe issue is never ending once again y'all, please use the necessary protective equipment when using things like weed-whackers and chain saws!
Hey !!! Fantastic job guys !!! Always nice to see you doing stuff !!! Here it goes a recommendation.. when you plant things that dont have much root system its a good practice to prune most of the leaves. If the plant has to much leaves to send energy and sap and almost nothing of roots its more difficult to survive !!! Hope this helps !!!
The chance for the planted trees is small as they have no roots and plenty of leaves to evaporate the little amount of water that is sucked in. With the high summer temperatures It will become very hard to create roots. It would be better if you remove a lot of leaves upfront, so the trees can focus on growing roots.
It also looked like they buried a load of the stem, which won't be great and increases the risk of the bark rotting. I think leaving them in pots to recouperate was a good idea and they should have been given a season or so to grow in them.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - cut off several of the lower branches with all those leaves, and they won't dry out nearly as fast.
Also give them more water than half a bucket
Also remove all fruit, the trees do not need to be putting any energy toward fruiting right now.
Those trees need water daily, and roughly 20 minutes at each tree with that low pressure Jose
The base of trunk can never be below surface, guys! It's where cells differentiate between trunk and roots. If i'ts buried, it doesn't work. Tree will not develop and may even die.
But congratulations, nice landscape work!!
yep. one of the commonest cause of death and disease in transplanted trees is planting too deep. Also, please prune them hard to reduce water demand.
Another wonderful video. It's so good to see the progress you are making. I love it!
You guys are amazing group of young people! I really enjoy watching how you saw problems!
lol they saw problems better than they solve them lol
The mini roof is unaligned and driving me crazy haha. Love it though!
i LOVE the flower bed and how those species have found a new home. you should prune them to make the move a little easier and promote new growth :) and the fungus will thank you so much for all the mulch and woodchip you used! keep up the amazing work :)))))))
Those trees are going to need lots more water to establish!
Hey guys, a few words regarding the fire extinguisher situation: I strongly recommend that you acquire wildfire suppression backpacks (which are easily refillable and can be operated by one person) and fire beaters for Project Kamp, as the powder extinguishers shown in the video will only help you for a very short time with very small fires. I hope my suggestion can be of help to you. Greetings from a volunteer fire department in Germany.
Yes, and a couple of practises - say three people with backpacks at the fire, a chain of people refilling from the pond?
Loved the end of teh video with the roses and plants and the team has such great energy!
25:30 - the "knee-pit" clamp for holding the stick is genius :)
I've never seen that done before, I'll certainly do that in future
I was looking at it in amazement and thought the exact same thing!
Every real outdoor enthusiast knows this.
@@Patschenkino I'm not a "real" outdoor enthusiast, quite complex, actually, and yet I learned something cool and useful.
The roof over the fire extinguisher is like that patch over a crack in the wall meme
Good morning hope your folks have a wonderful day out there keep up the good work
Guys you are amazing!!! best wishes from Argentina!
Love it! ❤ the way how sustainable landscape is turning around as of the idea promised from day 1 on this channel. as always lots of love n support from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
When planting anything You really want to soak the soil afterwards. It really needs a lot of water, more than you think. You want the whole ground around the plant to be moist to stimulate the roots.
Exactly. I was cringing for the transplants when they poured maybe a fifth of the bucket 😮
I wish I was younger and had your ambition.Love what you all do .
A couple of tips, to sharpen posts why not try cutting the branches on the diagonal? if you do this you will get two sharp ends then cut the other ends square. The replanted fruit trees and roses would benefit from a light pruning, it would help with water loss through transpiration and promote new growth.
good luck to all of the replants.
Exactly, and waaay more water.
They really need more roots
CHAPS !!! Wear chaps please !!! Also, when not cutting put the break on the thing. You should release it only when cutting.
we made swales for our orchard but we fill them with old chunks of wood and bark in the winter this absorbs more water like a sponge and saves even more water for the summer - it also stops the ground going hard and cracked
Makes my week better every night I watch a new update
I would also recommend fire retardant ‘blankets’. They come in various sizes and for example around your oven would be a better fit. They are not heavy, like a fire extinguisher, they can be used more than once if not too badly damaged and can be applied faster than foam. Having the back-up should a fire extinguisher malfunction, or to use in conjunction with a fire extinguisher could be a game changer. They mount to the wall, just like the extinguishers.
The pipe-riddle would have been easy to solve imo at 6:48: just open up the valve uphill and it should be possible to determine out auf which pipe the water flows, inner or outer.
$1000 it comes out the inner pipe, the other option is the small pipe is just randomly there for no reason 😂
EXACTLY! this is so simple
I love ALL Project Kamp videos!
You should really see about floating the inlet of that water line. Very simplest way to do it is to just get a cheap buoy or a boat fender, tie a string to it that keeps the inlet a few inches below the water line. That stops both sediment from the bottom and anything drifting on the surface from getting in.
The magnet idea? OMG.. that was GREAT 👍
I loved the 3-4 kitchen edit
put a plastic 2-liter bottle of water with each fire extinguisher, it is often enough to put out a starting fire, for example in a trash can, and there is no need to spit out the fire extinguisher, and with them, be careful about the seal on the sun, it sometimes gets hot and the propellant gas escapes, so it does not work
I love the beautifying projects 🥰 Flower beds and all!
If you put compost at the bottom the water can’t drives nutrients to the roots, compost needs to be higher than the roots and protected from the sunshine ;) thanks for your videos guys
Great job on the safety , steps and planting. Careful when pulling on pipes.😊
Hello ! Love your project and I wanted to share a tip for mimosas. I'm also strugling with eucalyptus in my land (Monchique) and one year ago we started chopping to space them out and nailed copper nails in each stump. I truly believe it is working with less and slower regrowth.
I was shocked to see in a couple of videos back that wool is a waste product in Portugal. There is a company in the US that makes insulation out of wool. It's a natural product without glass fibers. This could be a good recycling business for you to start that would provide income, and the farmers would love you for taking their waste wool.
i spent time on sheep farms in europe and i can tell you that wool is worth very little money here these days - id be very surprised if this was any different in the us. nowadays the sheep farms exist because of the lambs. the lambs are sold for their meat. the wool is no longer the main product, but sold for nearly nothing or used as a waste product of the meat industry.
sheep farmers in the whole of western Europe do not know what to do with their wool. trashing it is to expensive and burning is not easy...
Same this is happening in New Zealand. I've heard of farmers having over 5 years worth of wool stored that's barely worth the cost of transporting off their farm.
@@sw1ft3 this material can be useful and used economically.....
Good idea about recycling but could you "outline" how to proceed? Collecting all the wool, washing, maybe extracting the natural grease(lanolin) threading..... I will be checking how the US companies make the insulation materials.
hey just leaving some love
15:16 made me chuckle. The cute bloopers of video #123 is weirdly refreshing. 😂
Nice to see you making the flower bed up at the lake, something pretty to look at and enjoy, while relaxing after a hard days work you all do 😊
Boom !! Excellent creative solution to the magnetic hanger!!
32:20
When you replant trees like this, make sure you give them at least 2 minutes of water after you put them in the ground, so that the soil fills the holes between the roots and they have a good start in their new life wherever you put them.
If you wanna cut such a big space of grass at this length consider getting a scythe, may take a bit of practice but then it's a lot faster than with a trimmer it's also better for the wildlife around you
Scary! They really need someone to guide and teach them the right way to work and do it properly. Induction classes on how to use different tools and safety procedures. All these young people are interested in learning and doing something useful. I do not think that they are lazy. They need to be taught properly.
Hey there: I agree with Angelad regarding watering the holes BEFORE you put anything in them. Also, I think you should stake-up the new trees you planted. Don't make them too supported, but something would be valuable. Take care, DA
After cutting all the grass it can be good to rake it into rows along the berms to focus where nutrients and life are. Also those transplated trees at the end would do a lot better with a heavy prune so the pant isn't trying to support so much foliage while reestablishing itself.
I hope, the roses and trees will make it. To rescue my rose plant from the vandalism of construktions workers, I kept the roots in a bucket of water while reshaping the devastated area. And when planting it again, I put a bag of special soil for growing roses in the bottom of the hole.
Yeah, I'm betting the inner tube is the water tube and the outter tube is to prevent from damage for accidental digging or animals bitting or something.
Also when putting the valve they should put it on the inner tube, and for god sake stop pulling it cuz you'll damage it more.
The rest of the video was great!!!
Have a nice week guys! 💪
That's always the case, otherwise what is the other option? Just a random small pipe inside for no reason ? How does he not see this 😅😂
Actually listen to the comments. Doesn't matter why there is a double tube. Probable at one point the tube started leaking and they inserted a smaller one. You could acually do this yourself 😀
STOP PULLING ON THE PIPE...
I am absolutely entranced with this series. The things you have done with that ruined land is amazing! I would be very interested in knowing if you are planning on rebuilding any of the other ruined buildings or just the community center?
I realize why I like this channel so much. It's a mix of big brother and survivor -esque story telling but there are no rivalries or games just problems to be solved and collaborative work. ❤
Monday is the happiest day of the week for me because i get to see you guys. Feom the fisrt video to till you guys post your videos i will be watching and supporting. There is nth but eternal joy while watching you guys. 🥰🥰
Love the little detail at 8:24. reusing denim to store your helmets!
The pipe broke below the upper tee. instead of digging and replacing the entire pipe, they cut in below then upper tee and used the older pipe as a conduit/sleeve to install a replacement pipe, it saves a lot of digging/cost.
This seems the most logical, yes.
Yes sir, otherwise the other option is what? The small pipe is just randomly inside for NO reason? 😂😂
As soon as I saw that big tree in the background I knew the pipe was a lost cause. That tree has had access to a lot of water for a long time.
Some recycled plastic as tree guards would ensure the srtrimmers don’t accidentally whack the young trees potentially damaging their bark? Also some mulch chippings around them to stop the grass smothering their roots.
I reckon those hanging signs are going to blow around in the wind and annoy everyone camping outside. Love the custom magnet holder.
Those beds with the chipping look great so do the steps. I can't imagine some of those trees will take though looking by the lack of roots. I think you should add more topsoil to mix with the chipping and plant some berry bushes there instead. Then chop some logs and inoculate them with various mushrooms varieties and sit them around there. Absolutely love watching the progress, I would love to come and visit and help!
my back hurts just watching you people. stoked for you all to have this property and caring for the land the way you are.. developing it with your vision.
Looks like @xanokothe is correct. You are just doing more damage. Couple the black pipe where the "leak" was. Then couple the metal pipe that goes over that black (ABS) pipe. Then go to the valve you installed on the metal pipe at the end of the system (the original valve). Remove that. Then cut that metal pipe back and install a valve on the ABS pipe, not the metal one. @Xanokothe is correct. That metal pipe is acting as a sleeve to protect that black ABS pipe from fracturing when the ground compacts. Even at the new place you cut and put the new valve on the water is just backflowing between the ABS and metal pipes void, back uphill to the next weak spot where it can leak out again.
The grass seems to be growing up to the stems of the fruit trees. Please free the area around each stem for at least 1m diameter. Grass is a strong competition and the trees wont grow if the grass stays. They also need a watering regularily (better a lot once a week, not a bit every day) and feed.
They could also run waste water from the kitchen and shower into the swales so that's they're being watered with no effort.
And the tree roots are too deep in the ground. The area where the roots come out of the trunk should still be above ground.
Cut back the outer pipe then install the valve on just the inner pipe.
From what I see in the videos the pipe from the pond to the office is a single pipe then somewhere between the office and the community center it transitions to the double pipe scenario.
Oeh at 7:45 that cracked ground is a sign of clay rich ground. Maybe collect the chunks and wet-separate it from the dirt and create pottery from it ^^ very sustainable
Funny, you put a roof over fire extinguisher clearly in the sun. Should have put extinguisher in a box when mounting outside.
I thought the same thing. They talk about rain and sun protection. That roof will do neither xd
Challenge: instead of using brushcutters for the grass, use a scythe. Bonus: does not need fuel.
That piece of rusty metal Dave fished out of his mucked out water trough was a scythe. What we used to cut down hay and brush predating expensive machinery. Far too labor intensive to use for the volume of maintenance needed on 10 hectares, and the fruit trees are too delicate to risk operating there. Volunteer as a scythe operator, see how long you last.
I know my way around a scythe. Big fields: tractor, lawns and in betweens: scythe. Getting around fruit trees: not exactly rocket surgery.
Make the inlet of the pipe float just below the surface of the pond. So it doesn’t get clogged. U can use a barel of een jerrycan for example 😊.
Dig the whole pipe, end to end, it'll make a nice update video. Also tie a rope to the end that is in the pond, no need to go back into the water next time it clogs up.
Also for the fire extinguisher, if you can't drill, use glue or regular silicon. The signs as well, simply glue them on.
Dave, at this point you might consider to replace all those pipe system. Save you more times in the near future.
If you prune the trees you planted right back, they’ll have more chance of survival because they can transfer all their energy to their roots and need less water to compensate for more evapotranspiration with loads of leaves
Dave i installed a 25mm pipe and put a tyleen pipe in it for water for my ponys.. Just protection for cold weather. It works great..it doesnot freeze...so it just might be orotection and its from past times maybe colder winters....Just a thought
Onbegrijpelijk, zoveel eigenwijsheid. Volgens mij heb ik vorige keer ook al geroepen dat de dikke de mantelbuis is. Dat is een vrij gebruikelijk principe.
And yes, fruit trees need a LOT OF WATER!!!
It’s amazing when such brilliant and smart people can not see the obvious :) why would you put a pipe in a pipe if the outer pipe carried the water? It has to be the inner pipe! I was in pain watching the last pipe pulling video 😂
Nice work with the fire extinguishers... I hope you NEVER need them!
Everyone on project kamp are hardworking individuals,i wish you all more success!. And also want you to see videos of Martijn Doolaard for self sufficient living ideas that you may apply in your area
building steps, there is a rule here in North America, that the combined height of the rise and the tread equals 17 inches, and if there is more than 1/2 inch variant in the rise, it will become a trip hazard. if the rise is super low, then the tread can and should be more that the remainder of the 17 inches. For fruit trees, best time to transplant is very early in the spring, while they are still dormant.....but they can be moved all year around. Really looks like ca complete replacement of that old pipe system is necessary, a little research says that over time PVC (black plastic pipe) gets brittle, if it is subject to forest fire, extreme heat , afterwards it will leech out benzene, a carcinogen. Good luck guys
good comment...they need to forget about those pipes and start from scratch
Comedy of errors. Or should I say Komedy of Errors 😂😂
I would suggest looking through Andrew Millison’s amazing RUclips content for some land management inspiration.
PS, not a farmer myself but grew up close to a farming community where burying smaller diameter pipes enclosed in a larger diameter was also common practice. I was told the small air gap provided some insulation but I have no idea how true this is.
Wow, I'm impressed with July/Julie's closing ❤❤
despite every comment about the pipes and all the evidence they found, they still choose to not see it
Really fun video, good to see the positivity!
So the idea would be the same as why you run wires though conduit... In theory if you disconnect the smaller pipe at both ends you should be able to use a tractor to pull the small pipe out of the big pipe and replace it.... meaning you dont have to dig the whole trench... thats the theory. But it relys on you knowing where the ends are.... You wont pull it out until you dis-connect the other end.
