I want to share that my grandpa loves your videos and calls you the hippie camp (generation difference I guess lol), so every monday he asks if there is a video and we watch together. He is next to me wanted to say hi to you all, love your work!
It really is like a hippie commune (been there, got the scars). But much better organized. There clearly is strong leadership with rules, which you need with so many folk around. Some people have to be corrected, warned and so on. Not easy, I bet.
poo palace 1.0 is only half full! compost needs to be WORKED! turned and consolidated as it reduces in volume...so get the pitchfork and shovels out and consolidate your bins and turn them at the same time.... in theory when the last is full the first is earth compost ready to be spread or sold.the water from the poo buckets should go into the compost piles...they need to be damp....make the right environment for the bugs doing the work.
You probably can't sell it. Human waste compost is banned or discouraged in many places because the risks aren't worth it. Obviously if it's dealt with properly there is zero risk, but totally pasteurizing manure isn't that simple and it's easy to cross contaminate it.
@@ratdoto2148 its all about the bugs...and patience i would be composting it 2+ years before i thought of using it and that would be with proper maintenance keeping it aerated moist and at the proper temperature for the beneficial microbes to flourish... also given the choice dong pits wouldnt be my preference as you say it can go into the fan at any time.... biogas dig esters would seem to be the better option here as there should be no dangerous microbes at the tail end of the process being a mostly dry solid which could easily be compacted and dried into a fuel keep the food waste compost for soil amendment and use the poo to make gas and charcoal
@@mobiousenigma I know it's totally doable and we have obviously done it for thousands of years, but these days a lot of places just won't let people take the risk. If it doesn't leave the property or contact produce that leaves the property, no issue. The simplest thing I believe they should try is to make a shallow drop toilet, and just dig the oldest waste out from the bottom of it, allowing the rest of it to fall down in it's place, and then move it to another system to finish the process. By the time anyone contacts the waste, it's already at least partially composted. This is really no different to what they already have, but rather than falling into a tiny bucket, it falls into the first part of the system.
@@ratdoto2148 there not maintaining there bins the buckets are for the toilets i believe emptied weekly if i heard correctly. the good old outhouse but no one empties them they move the outhouse and cover the pit which is a problem so buckets to bins is better but they need to turn them for aeration check for moisture content and consolidate older piles while doing it theres no need to leave half full bins with non composting human and food waste there i grew up with a compost pile 2 bins this years and last with 6 mouths and 4 acers of lawn it worked well and turned clay into garden soil over the years. ;]
I bet this older generation love you guys cuz you're so interested in their ways & they can pass on their knowledge to eager learners. I love the way all the neighbours help each other out.
For the buckets, clean them like bars clean glasses. Make a pallet base in an area that drains well. Put a sprinkler that shoots water up forcefully. Put the bucket on top, upside-down, and turn on the sprinkler. Have a rack of pallets beside to put the wet buckets to dry upside down.
Great idea, there is something similar we have in Mexico to reuse drinking water bottles of 20L. before a refill the refill station puts the 20L bottles upside down and a spraying system sprays the water with force in the bottle, gravity makes sure the water drips out.
Man, you guys really need a chipper! 95% of those mimosa are the perfect size. Woodchip compost on its own is amazing, but is also great for humanure (instead of needing to use hay). Btw, check out the Humanure Handbook if you haven't already, your piles should be ready within 2 years max.
Seconded. Also, chipping trees while they still have lots of leaves makes for a much better compost than dry wood alone (which you can use instead for mulch. And also for the poop.)
They have a tractor on order, and I hope they order a "Landscape Mulcher" attachment. They need to watch some mulching videos. Agreed that those mimosas are perfect size to chip instead of chop!
You should dig some holes under the trailer, fill them up with rocks and then put supports there, then let some air out of the tires. It saves the tires for if you ever need to move it again, and stops the trailer going out of level when the tires naturally deflate.
Not taking anything away from him but hes probably used to shunting trucks with no wheels left around a yard, backing up a trailer is driving a car to him
If you had water near the poo palace you could use the bucket rinse poop water on the compost. The water will expedite the composting time and it will add more microorganisms.
Small ideas for the humanure: - aeration to help the process: put a good bunch of branches in first, at the bottom of each slot. - turn the compost, fill it higher to increase temperature, refill it after it settled. - use gravity for turning the compost. You have an area with good slope. Start the process somewhere uphill and just push it downhill in steps, ideally with gates (movable pallet) in-between each step to open and close. - loads of wood chips. (Get your chopper plz :D) use them _everywhere_ in thick layers to soak up leaching poop. walkways, around the pallets, washing the bins ...
Why not just use the actual ground as outside space ? I get that a deck is flat and can be build a bit higher if needed, but at the same time you're using up a lot of wood (that needs maintenance) to create "space" that is already there.
@@_MicZ_ 1. they have a lot of mimosa wood. 2. The entrance is already above ground 3. the rains make the ground difficult 4. it can be a social space with a view 5. I like decks to expand indoor living
@@jackiehoracek I would like to see a screened-in area built off of one of the structures, with pallets or a wood decking, for storing materials which need to be secured from weather and animal intrusions.
To clean a bucket: 1) Buy a lid for the poo bucket and cut a small hole in the centre. 2) Put the lid on the bucket 3) Put the hose in the hole with a spray nozzle, so you can point the nozzle at all parts of the bucket without the water splashing out, or even onto your hand. Do this near the poo-pallets, so you can empty the water onto the compost. 4) Screw a scrubbing brush onto a broom handle so you can scrub the insides of the bucket without having to get too close to it. 5) Put the bucket in a square 'bucket-holder' so it doesn't tip over when you're cleaning it.

It maybe could be an opportunity to install a greenhouse as an extension to the fridge box (with recycled glass windows?). This would create a (ideally temperature controlled environment) to germinate seedlings in a bit higher humidity, that later on after humidity training are introduced into the ecological systems that you want to design. Another interesting option would be to dig a well, if you want I can connect you to a video in which a company in portugal digs 120 meters deep into the earth to connect to water supply streams. Imagine what this can do. You could create a water irrigation system with 1000's of meters of pipes, feeding every vulnerable oak on your land. making it possible to on large scale reintroduce the chestnuts and other valuable species! And for all trees that you connect to the system, tremendously amplify its growth potential. Because repetitive water patterns to long term support plants, it allows the plant roots to connect to deeper water streams, making the ecosystem very resilient to extreme temperatures. Because roots of plants follow patterns. Keep on rocking, what you guys are doing all together is truly amazing. Much love for project Kamp!

💡 For the door. Remove all the stuff but keep the frame off the door. Frame it out with wood and add windows. The hinge is so smooth and strong and already on there so save it!
The poo "palace" just looks like a dumping ground rather than actual composting. I think the bins should be enclosed, and the compost turned more than it appears to be currently. the temperature should also be checked(a long thermometer) to ensure there is enough heat to kill off the right pathogens, and then you can actually use that soil and not require building more pallet palaces. Maybe also some rainwater collectors near the area to reduce the need for hauling buckets around to wash them. Not sure if the pallets are conducive to retaining enough heat for killing off what needs to be killed off either.
In my region those Containers with their cooling units are often used as Cooling boxes for milk on farms, waiting for the Dairy truck to take it. Mostly the room is divided and in one half they put the milking system with all its technology and in the other half there is the barrel where the dairy truck can attach and pump off the cooled milk every two or three days. I already installed some photovoltaic systems on three of them to run the cooling unit for the barrel room with solar power.
The poop palace can be made oderless by simply adding soil. The naturally occurring microbes could help degrade poop and give out fertilizer that could be used for your permaculture projects. Glad to see a fellow Indian at the Kamp. ❤
For cleaning the poop buckets you could look into a garden sprayer that rotates and building a small platform (really just a bracket) to put the bucket over it upside down, then it's a matter of turning on the sprayer for a few seconds and it'll do all the work. Would need to rinse off the sprayer afterwards, but that's still a lot cleaner than the current system
Hey Dave, a tip for your poo collection system, is to add hydrated lime in layers, just like the straw. Hydrated Lime is a very good treatment for the fecal matter in sewage, as it has been used for over a century for that purpose. It is fairly cheap, and can be bought in bags or bulk, but needs protection from rain. It also help eliminate odors. Give it a try.
An alternative that will turn you poop into garden gold is charcole. Make your own from the dead mimosa trees. Crush and add to the poop buckets. Research biochar and see what it can do for project camp!
@@Barbaralee1205 Thanks Barbara, I'm sure that is a good process, but look at the time involved in doing that? And it does not decay the sludge as fast as lime, nor control the smell as well. The lime is a better suited process for sewage treatment, and has been used for hundreds of years. I have spent over 45 years around the treatment process, and my dad longer than that, and it seems to be a go to treatment for decomposition and smell of sludge. Thanks for the idea anyway..
we use wood chip and charcoal fines for poo covering materials. Also fresh grass mowings is fine in the compost area. Make sure everyone uses enough damp shavings and charcoal to cover the poo in their compost toilet (bucket and chuck it system) then it doesn't smell
A tip for compost which I'm sure you would like to know is that if it smells its releasing methane. Anaerobic bacteria responsible for nasty smells are also the bacteria which release methane. Aerobic bacteria which break down organic material much faster do not smell and do not release methane. Aerobic bacteria need more assistance to thrive.
Great naming for poo palace!! 😂 I love yo see the team working together to carry the big heavy tree (I didn't see Alana) Every member is so unique and I was so happy to have met some of them in the church's bench jamming some weeks ago! 😊 I look for the "new home" ❤ Best wishes from Gloria
I will follow this channel until I have my own intentional living community / build sustainably, which is my #1 end goal. I love getting to follow your journey!
Pakriti ❤ I love your music in the back ground ❤ hope to hear more throughout the season. Hope the digger comes soon. Good luck with the fridge unit guys. Really looking forward to seeing the end result. I missed u guys alot, glad your back. Much love from the UK ❤ xxx
The best poop compost solution ive ever seen I think was from kirsten dirksen video a long time ago but basically the "throne" was sitting up high and the waste would drop down a slanted chute which had dividers in it. You can fill up the first section with waste and when its full you slide the first divider out so that the waste tumbles to the next section and then you put back the divider. The whole chute was closed off and you had little to no contact with fresh waste. The tumbling action helped to introduce oxygen and mix things up and the only waste that you actually had to come in contact with was all the way at the bottom of the chute after it had fully broken down. The main issue which is echoed by other commenters is that you arent mixing things or making sure the ratio of nitrogen to carbon to water to oxygen is correct so you end up with smelly bacteria. A waste deposit if left out uncovered will stop smelling after a day because the new environment for the anaerobic bacteria present is not ideal. What you want is an environment for aerobic bacteria which digest organic matter much quicker. They need oxygen and heat but not too much heat which can be reduced by introducing water and or mixing which is how you keep adding oxygen. A note when it comes to water is that liquid waste much more resembles the addition of high nitrogen material so it should not be considered as just water. A method to help with the smell in the short term is to use more carbon material when depositing waste. Doing so will make the decomposition take longer but the moisture and the smell will be absorbed faster.
With this much people and with how often you all have to clean and touch the human manure m, I strongly suggest a septic system. You probably need two large septic system. In the outskirts of the property, a few compose toilet is okay. But this is too large for dealing with compost alone. If installed properly, it's hygienic and also let the bacteria decomposes waste properly to a drainage field. We are buying rural land and getting our septic system in 1500 gallons for 4 bedroom home. Sometimes city code is there for a reason. Also, those tires on the trailer will get damaged in the sun. Best get covers for them. Best to your community!
Oh I'd like to add that, you don't need a permit for septic tanks. Many people can install themselves. However, it's important to do a perc test for soil drainage and to consult with a local planner to make sure there's enough set backs from natural river/streams. It is possible to have an environmentally friendly septic system with yearly proper care.
I agree, they are going to create a pandemic like this not to mention following local environmental regulations about keeping exposed piles of fecal matter.
Over time you have to deal with land subsidence beneath the trailer which mess levels, it's better to create concrete foundation under the stands, Lift one side, build foundations and then jack the other side, To secure them more you can bolt them as well!
My opinion is that a "poo palet system" is ok for a maximum of 5 or 6 personns, but you are too numerous and you'll probably have to install a real septic tank, soon or late.
Then youre wasting all the fertility of composting toilet. In a couple years it can be spread on a field and grow grain from it. You dont want to grow root crops in it tho 😅😅. If it can work for 5 people, it can work for 50, you just have to scale up. It seems to be working okay, other than the spraying the buckets bit, thats nasty
The big side doors can be use as "slide out entrance room". Open them to 80cm gap and put there standard house door. Add a roof, floor and the stairs will be parallel to long side of trailer. If you use glass doors, there will be also more light in interior without cutting new holes to sides. And of course it will increase inner space
driver of the truck was awesome. also, it's nice that you talk about poop problems, that's an important part of human living. and remember about the big dead tree, that it is important for biodiversity to let old rotten wood on the land (think of insects, fungi, lichens, small mammals, moss that can live there)
I've been watching your videos since the first season and I was waiting for someone from India and now there she is 😊. . . . . . . . . . . I'm so happy today 😊 🇮🇳
Refrigerated boxes should also have proper insulation to keep them cool and anything that can be kept cool can also be kept warm when needed because insulation measures you do not need to mess with. I can align with this idea of reefer truck box enclosures as a starting base for a tiny home better than regular corrugated shipping containers.
You could spray the buckets after pressure washing them with natural anti-bacterial essential oils mixed with water. Like tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, etc. especially on the handles 😊🩵
Think the reason they're not used much for building projects is that if a fire, or even the later building renovations, pierce the metal sheathing into the internal insulation, that insulating material is super flammable. That being said, if you can put other building spaces/modules with fire resistant fascia, or a fire resistant fascia on the box itself, it sort of solves the problem. Good luck dudes.
For spraying the buckets perhaps make a nozzle that points up in the air with a wide head sprayer, then with the valve shut place on a bucket over the nozzle, put a weight on the bucket like a stone or brick, then walk away a few metres and open the valve, water shoots up and cleans the inside of the bucket with all humans far away from any splashes
Ik heb een outhouse op wielen en graaf elk half jaar een nieuw gat in de grond. Op de oude plaats plant ik een boom. Werkt heel goed. Ik leef in Andalusië.
You should drill holes in the large cut tree trunks, it'll give solitary bees somewhere to lay their eggs for new bees next year, just what you need to pollinate your fruit trees. Maybe you could invest in some honey bee hives too & goats to keep the spiky plants down. You could sell the honey & goat milk/cheese to neighbours.
Solution for the poop: Dig a hole and put the toilet ontop of it. Every few months dig a new hole, move the toilet & cover the old hole. It will eliminate the buckets completely
Its a very very good idea to build up foundations, I'd say four under the box to take the strain off the tyres, which will most definitely deflate, crush and ossify the rubber after the volatiles' are lost from daily heating and cooling. The stand legs do a good job, but should be on a firm base (concrete pad or a steel plate) and raised perhaps only 2-4 cm. Easy job to do with a car jack, shovel, 12 bricks, and a plate ---> My tyres rotted after only about 4 years on the land here in Australia. Result - slumping box shed, ruined tyres.
Another great video. Nice to see new faces, but where's Rita? Now, regarding POO. you need a septic tank for human waste to flow into. You may be able to make one from an old box van! Make sure it has a liquid overflow which seeps into the soil; an air vent; and a way of emptying it. I would also consider having 4 toilets, now you have more Kampers, two for Ladies and two for Gents. I'm looking forward to seeing the new van body being adapted. It may be suitable for bunk beds. I hope you can get a volunteer who is experienced in using a digger, who can train other people how to use it. Hope you will keep records of people who have been trained., like you do with people who use chain saws. Best Wishes Pete (Manchester UK).
For bucket cleaning: make a scaled-up Beer Bottle cleaner, so you can overturn the buckets onto it and the spray and runoff go downward instead of into the air.
For the bucket cleaning, you need one of those things they clean glasses with at the bar, where you place the glass upside down and it sprays the inside out. Like that, except large, for buckets. Can make it out of a ring of plastic pex tubing with holes punched to spray outward at bucket sides.
I've seen way too many wood trucks traverse narrow mountain roads to be concerned _at all_ here. Road looks in good condition and it's not even wet. Truck drivers are pretty amazing with their vehicle control.
should make a water tap at the poo palace and rinse the buckets over there, keeping it all over there.. only bringing back clean buckets.. more efficient all the way around
Why not use recycled paper bags in the bins to collect the "solids"? It will be a slightly less messy process to dump the brown stuff into the poop palace. In addition, paper soaks up liquids and is compostable.

Also, worms.
Don't forget, the trailer tires will deflate. You should create a structure to maintain the floor level.
It's nice to learn with you.
That’s what I was going to mention. Better build supports and not count on the tires.
Y las patas metalicas tambien se hundiran en la tierra!
Watching the extention of the poo-palace I had the idea, you could use the branches of mimosa to create a kinda mesh or grid instead of the pallets…
Came here to say this.

To clean a bucket:
1) Buy a lid for the poo bucket and cut a small hole in the centre.
2) Put the lid on the bucket
3) Put the hose in the hole with a spray nozzle, so you can point the nozzle at all parts of the bucket without the water splashing out, or even onto your hand.
Do this near the poo-pallets, so you can empty the water onto the compost.
4) Screw a scrubbing brush onto a broom handle so you can scrub the insides of the bucket without having to get too close to it.
5) Put the bucket in a square 'bucket-holder' so it doesn't tip over when you're cleaning it.

I think the bins should be enclosed, and the compost turned more than it appears to be currently. the temperature should also be checked(a long thermometer) to ensure there is enough heat to kill off the right pathogens, and then you can actually use that soil and not require building more pallet palaces.
Maybe also some rainwater collectors near the area to reduce the need for hauling buckets around to wash them. Not sure if the pallets are conducive to retaining enough heat for killing off what needs to be killed off either.
In my region those Containers with their cooling units are often used as Cooling boxes for milk on farms, waiting for the Dairy truck to take it. Mostly the room is divided and in one half they put the milking system with all its technology and in the other half there is the barrel where the dairy truck can attach and pump off the cooled milk every two or three days. I already installed some photovoltaic systems on three of them to run the cooling unit for the barrel room with solar power.
The poop palace can be made oderless by simply adding soil. The naturally occurring microbes could help degrade poop and give out fertilizer that could be used for your permaculture projects. Glad to see a fellow Indian at the Kamp. ❤
For cleaning the poop buckets you could look into a garden sprayer that rotates and building a small platform (really just a bracket) to put the bucket over it upside down, then it's a matter of turning on the sprayer for a few seconds and it'll do all the work. Would need to rinse off the sprayer afterwards, but that's still a lot cleaner than the current system
Hey Dave, a tip for your poo collection system, is to add hydrated lime in layers, just like the straw. Hydrated Lime is a very good treatment for the fecal matter in sewage, as it has been used for over a century for that purpose. It is fairly cheap, and can be bought in bags or bulk, but needs protection from rain. It also help eliminate odors. Give it a try.
An alternative that will turn you poop into garden gold is charcole. Make your own from the dead mimosa trees. Crush and add to the poop buckets. Research biochar and see what it can do for project camp!
@@Barbaralee1205 Thanks Barbara, I'm sure that is a good process, but look at the time involved in doing that? And it does not decay the sludge as fast as lime, nor control the smell as well. The lime is a better suited process for sewage treatment, and has been used for hundreds of years. I have spent over 45 years around the treatment process, and my dad longer than that, and it seems to be a go to treatment for decomposition and smell of sludge. Thanks for the idea anyway..
Burning mimosas to make charcoal may not be allowed in summer.
@@sadjaxx And burning emits a lot of heat, carbon, and smoke to the worksite, plus will they be burning dead trees or green trees.
@@sadjaxx well, do it in the winter then. Still a good use for all those trees and will enrich the soil. Research terra preta
we use wood chip and charcoal fines for poo covering materials. Also fresh grass mowings is fine in the compost area. Make sure everyone uses enough damp shavings and charcoal to cover the poo in their compost toilet (bucket and chuck it system) then it doesn't smell
A tip for compost which I'm sure you would like to know is that if it smells its releasing methane. Anaerobic bacteria responsible for nasty smells are also the bacteria which release methane. Aerobic bacteria which break down organic material much faster do not smell and do not release methane. Aerobic bacteria need more assistance to thrive.
Inspiring project.
Great naming for poo palace!! 😂 I love yo see the team working together to carry the big heavy tree (I didn't see Alana) Every member is so unique and I was so happy to have met some of them in the church's bench jamming some weeks ago! 😊 I look for the "new home" ❤ Best wishes from Gloria
Hi prakrati i am from India too i regularly watch project kamp updates it was great to see another indian
Props that truck driver.
properly threaded the needle down that trail road
I will follow this channel until I have my own intentional living community / build sustainably, which is my #1 end goal. I love getting to follow your journey!
Love you #ProjectKamp , Congratulations Prakriti from India on joining #ProjectKamp!
Pakriti ❤ I love your music in the back ground ❤ hope to hear more throughout the season.
Hope the digger comes soon.
Good luck with the fridge unit guys. Really looking forward to seeing the end result.
I missed u guys alot, glad your back.
Much love from the UK ❤ xxx
As always - impressed by all the things you manage to do.
The best poop compost solution ive ever seen I think was from kirsten dirksen video a long time ago but basically the "throne" was sitting up high and the waste would drop down a slanted chute which had dividers in it. You can fill up the first section with waste and when its full you slide the first divider out so that the waste tumbles to the next section and then you put back the divider. The whole chute was closed off and you had little to no contact with fresh waste. The tumbling action helped to introduce oxygen and mix things up and the only waste that you actually had to come in contact with was all the way at the bottom of the chute after it had fully broken down. The main issue which is echoed by other commenters is that you arent mixing things or making sure the ratio of nitrogen to carbon to water to oxygen is correct so you end up with smelly bacteria. A waste deposit if left out uncovered will stop smelling after a day because the new environment for the anaerobic bacteria present is not ideal. What you want is an environment for aerobic bacteria which digest organic matter much quicker. They need oxygen and heat but not too much heat which can be reduced by introducing water and or mixing which is how you keep adding oxygen. A note when it comes to water is that liquid waste much more resembles the addition of high nitrogen material so it should not be considered as just water. A method to help with the smell in the short term is to use more carbon material when depositing waste. Doing so will make the decomposition take longer but the moisture and the smell will be absorbed faster.
Was such a delight to see Prakriti!
With this much people and with how often you all have to clean and touch the human manure m, I strongly suggest a septic system. You probably need two large septic system. In the outskirts of the property, a few compose toilet is okay. But this is too large for dealing with compost alone. If installed properly, it's hygienic and also let the bacteria decomposes waste properly to a drainage field. We are buying rural land and getting our septic system in 1500 gallons for 4 bedroom home. Sometimes city code is there for a reason. Also, those tires on the trailer will get damaged in the sun. Best get covers for them. Best to your community!
Oh I'd like to add that, you don't need a permit for septic tanks. Many people can install themselves. However, it's important to do a perc test for soil drainage and to consult with a local planner to make sure there's enough set backs from natural river/streams. It is possible to have an environmentally friendly septic system with yearly proper care.
I agree, they are going to create a pandemic like this not to mention following local environmental regulations about keeping exposed piles of fecal matter.
Over time you have to deal with land subsidence beneath the trailer which mess levels, it's better to create concrete foundation under the stands, Lift one side, build foundations and then jack the other side, To secure them more you can bolt them as well!
My opinion is that a "poo palet system" is ok for a maximum of 5 or 6 personns, but you are too numerous and you'll probably have to install a real septic tank, soon or late.
I think a tank needs official permission
I wonder if they could just add wheels to the outhouse and dig a fresh hole and slide it over.
Then youre wasting all the fertility of composting toilet. In a couple years it can be spread on a field and grow grain from it. You dont want to grow root crops in it tho 😅😅.
If it can work for 5 people, it can work for 50, you just have to scale up.
It seems to be working okay, other than the spraying the buckets bit, thats nasty
The thought of food grown from human faces manure is not very appealing ...
@@yvettekinchking8838 Full of heavy metals
The big side doors can be use as "slide out entrance room". Open them to 80cm gap and put there standard house door. Add a roof, floor and the stairs will be parallel to long side of trailer. If you use glass doors, there will be also more light in interior without cutting new holes to sides. And of course it will increase inner space
😂😂 I loved this episode, it was really funny, welcome Prakritri to the dream team ❤
Hope to see more camps like this around the world. Absolutely love what you are creating with your camp!
That new fridgebox house is begging for a raised deck!
driver of the truck was awesome. also, it's nice that you talk about poop problems, that's an important part of human living. and remember about the big dead tree, that it is important for biodiversity to let old rotten wood on the land (think of insects, fungi, lichens, small mammals, moss that can live there)
I've been watching your videos since the first season and I was waiting for someone from India and now there she is 😊.

the drone shots were great! thanks
I am also from India (kashmir) I love watching you guys work for betterment of humanity. I really want to join u guys(community) 😅❤❤
With those doors on the back of the fridge box, it would be really cool to make a mini patio/deck where the doors open up to the outside
Refrigerated boxes should also have proper insulation to keep them cool and anything that can be kept cool can also be kept warm when needed because insulation measures you do not need to mess with. I can align with this idea of reefer truck box enclosures as a starting base for a tiny home better than regular corrugated shipping containers.
gotta wonder if that truck would be a good early move to a new & bigger refrigerator unit
Wow, that truck you all restored is really working out spectacularly! ❤ good job on the poop palace!
You could spray the buckets after pressure washing them with natural anti-bacterial essential oils mixed with water. Like tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, etc. especially on the handles 😊🩵
That driver was amazing and did an awesome job. Some guys wouldn't even try to get there. Top
😊Great Prakiriti feel good to you 🙏🙏🙏👍
Think the reason they're not used much for building projects is that if a fire, or even the later building renovations, pierce the metal sheathing into the internal insulation, that insulating material is super flammable.
That being said, if you can put other building spaces/modules with fire resistant fascia, or a fire resistant fascia on the box itself, it sort of solves the problem. Good luck dudes.
You guys seem to have a lot of fun.
Could you use wood chips from all the land clearance you did instead of hay as compost material?
See 17:17 Prakriti on Project Kamp mind say Ab aya na Asli Maja.......................... Jay Hind............ Love from India Project Kamp team
For spraying the buckets perhaps make a nozzle that points up in the air with a wide head sprayer, then with the valve shut place on a bucket over the nozzle, put a weight on the bucket like a stone or brick, then walk away a few metres and open the valve, water shoots up and cleans the inside of the bucket with all humans far away from any splashes
Ik heb een outhouse op wielen en graaf elk half jaar een nieuw gat in de grond. Op de oude plaats plant ik een boom. Werkt heel goed. Ik leef in Andalusië.
Clean the buckets on top of a lot of woodchips. This will absorb the moisture and stench. And after a while you just add wood chips.
You should drill holes in the large cut tree trunks, it'll give solitary bees somewhere to lay their eggs for new bees next year, just what you need to pollinate your fruit trees. Maybe you could invest in some honey bee hives too & goats to keep the spiky plants down. You could sell the honey & goat milk/cheese to neighbours.
Solution for the poop:
Dig a hole and put the toilet ontop of it. Every few months dig a new hole, move the toilet & cover the old hole. It will eliminate the buckets completely
They tried the hole idea before, they had problem with decomposition.
Happy to see someone from India is also with you guys...so happy
ditto
Its a very very good idea to build up foundations, I'd say four under the box to take the strain off the tyres, which will most definitely deflate, crush and ossify the rubber after the volatiles' are lost from daily heating and cooling. The stand legs do a good job, but should be on a firm base (concrete pad or a steel plate) and raised perhaps only 2-4 cm. Easy job to do with a car jack, shovel, 12 bricks, and a plate ---> My tyres rotted after only about 4 years on the land here in Australia. Result - slumping box shed, ruined tyres.
16:58 Love from India❤️❤️
Prakriti🤘🏻🤘🏻
Another great video. Nice to see new faces, but where's Rita? Now, regarding POO. you need a septic tank for human waste to flow into. You may be able to make one from an old box van! Make sure it has a liquid overflow which seeps into the soil; an air vent; and a way of emptying it. I would also consider having 4 toilets, now you have more Kampers, two for Ladies and two for Gents. I'm looking forward to seeing the new van body being adapted. It may be suitable for bunk beds. I hope you can get a volunteer who is experienced in using a digger, who can train other people how to use it. Hope you will keep records of people who have been trained., like you do with people who use chain saws. Best Wishes Pete (Manchester UK).
Poop palce makes me laugh.😂😂😂
Great music Leaning on the Everladting arms. Published in 1887.
Finally seeing someone from India 😢 so proud of you girl
Happy to see someone from India
For bucket cleaning: make a scaled-up Beer Bottle cleaner, so you can overturn the buckets onto it and the spray and runoff go downward instead of into the air.
haha that Christmas song at 21:25 🌲🌲🌲
I heard that aswell once in royal David city 😊
"we're kinda used to the bright colours because of the trailer" 😂🎉
hi prakriti , im from lucknow ,up , loved your work , love to watch project kamp video :)
For the bucket cleaning, you need one of those things they clean glasses with at the bar, where you place the glass upside down and it sprays the inside out. Like that, except large, for buckets. Can make it out of a ring of plastic pex tubing with holes punched to spray outward at bucket sides.
I've seen way too many wood trucks traverse narrow mountain roads to be concerned _at all_ here. Road looks in good condition and it's not even wet. Truck drivers are pretty amazing with their vehicle control.
should make a water tap at the poo palace and rinse the buckets over there, keeping it all over there.. only bringing back clean buckets.. more efficient all the way around
He he, love your humour Prakriti!
Love to see people from India 🇮🇳
Love from india prakriti ❤❤❤
Funny hearing Christmas music 6 months away from Christmas 😂
Finally the classic song is back in this episode! ❤
I love how yall keep experimentin g and documenting your results no fear!!!
Why not use recycled paper bags in the bins to collect the "solids"? It will be a slightly less messy process to dump the brown stuff into the poop palace. In addition, paper soaks up liquids and is compostable.
actually great idea
Happy to see someone from India is working with you guys…❤
i agree,😍
@@spicynomad honestly i wanted to be the first one some day lol
@@GurdeepSingh-qg5vo 😄😄well as long you have skills there is still time, i have zero skills unless they want me to empty the poop buckets. thats it.
Thanks for the video and Stay safe ✌️.
