I’ve learned from another you tube channel that granite can be made very fragile from fire. They had a ruin that still had a roof and a fire came through and burned everything. It made the granite very crumbly. It may be that you can deconstruct the one ruin and use the stone for some other use.
Not a big fan of the herbology part. Regarding the scientific approach you take with every other project presented -this was giving „alternative fact“ vibes. enjoyed the classification though and would love to know more about the native and invasive plants around Kamp and how to classify them.
I have to agree with you as well. While folk medicine occasionally can have surprising if usually anecdotal effects, there is not too much scientific research to back it up and tons of misinformation out there. Using it in the kitchen however is super cool and easy to fact check.
Hard agree. I was imagining myself there and how I would respond to that while navigating the personal politics of it. People get invested in their beliefs, but this isn't about religion, it's about medicine, and that can have life or death consequences. I can't dismiss herbalism as a whole, as some herbs have known pharmacological effects, but there is a great deal of pseudo-knowledge there. One thing someone said to me that has always stuck: If an herb is pharmacologicly active, it will have side effects (like any drug); if an herb has no side effects, it's not doing anything at all. Most of them are in the latter category. I'll take an herbal stimulant like coffee over a caffeine pill, but if I have a serious medical condition I want "allopathic" medicine.
@@takix2007 Agreed on homeopathy - for very obvious reasons, haha. Regarding herbology honestly, I think it would definitely be possible have bad side effects or to pick and consume the wrong thing.
As a biologist I was hyped to see you explore more of the native species, but I got to agree with others in the comments. When you have medical problems please just go see a doctor, don't play around with plants with 'medical capabilities'
With all the ecosystem restauration ambitions evolving, I am very curious to hear if you ever contemplated setting up a local tree species nursery. Collect seeds and seedlings locally, propagate (and show us the successes/failures), and plant them out in a few years' time! A living library of genetic diversity, chance to explore ecosystems with the viewers beyond Project Kamp, and enhancing regeneration beyond what nature can do by itself given local conditions (especially drought).
If the ruin is really structurally unsafe. I personally would take it down completely and use the grannet stones as landscape decorations for the new long term camper area. "Fire pit" seating area. Border around garden ect. Like as much as we want to preserved somthing maybe the best way is just using the material and birthing somthing new from it
@@topkek_ I don’t know how I missed them saying that in the other video that thanks for letting me know as I thought it would make more sense to create something new rather than trying to rebuild with the amount of damage to it
I loved that you brought someone to help you make an inventory of some of the plants growing on the land! Pesto looked delicious! I also hope that you take more precautions for preventing health issues than just what grows on your property. Epi pens, a portable defibrillator, tourniquets, a spinal board and spinal collar are investiments that should be considered if the nearest hospital is a long ride away.
Quite dangerous misinformation here. If you get a snake bite, don’t put anything or do anything to the area of the bite. Keep that body part as still as possible and get to an emergency room for treatment.
Yup. The bite will inject the venom past the dermis, beyond which nothing can "suck" it back out. The same mechanism that makes tattoos permanent is why snake venom cannot be removed once bitten. You need to go to the hospital and get antivenom, any rubbing/patting of the area will only spread the venom faster.
You could use the old tiles by breaking them into small peices and using them as gravel somewhere where water needs to drain, like around the outlets of the water from the swamp/pond.
I'd honestly cut the full section discussing the plants, identifying the plants and trees is great but providing advice on what you can use them for (and not specifically mentioning that a lot of the practices she mentioned are no longer used!) without even mentioning the adverse effects of poor administration, formulation and interactions with other drugs which can be FATAL. For example, she mentions stinging nettle, which yes is edible (although most people would have it as a tea) but she fails to mention that it can affect the menstrual cycle and stimulate uterine contractions or the fact that it can have a significant effect on a persons blood sugar level and can trigger hypoglycemic episodes, it can also effect the efficacy of diabetes medicine. Here's interactions it can have with some medicines that weren't even discussed: Blood thinners such as warfarin, clopidogrel and aspirin because stinging nettle contains large amounts of vitamin K, which can help the blood’s ability to clot. Taking stinging nettle can decrease the effects of these drugs. Drugs for high blood pressure such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers because stinging nettle can lower blood pressure and strengthen the effects of these drugs. Diuretics and water pills because stinging nettle is also a diuretic and when used together can cause dehydration. Lithium because of stinging nettle’s diuretic qualities. It may reduce the body’s ability to remove this drug, resulting in higher than recommended levels of lithium. NSAIDs because stinging nettle can enhance the anti-inflammatory effect of some of them. Despite the evidence that combining stinging nettle and NSAIDs leads to more pain relief, it should be taken under supervision. Sedative medications (CNS depressants) such as clonazepam, lorazepam, phenobarbital and zolpidem because when large amounts of above ground parts of stinging nettle are taken, sleepiness and drowsiness can occur. Taking sedatives along with stinging nettle might cause too much drowsiness. And for the love of god, DO NOT try to make a poultice to extract snake venom. It is as insane if not more insane than all the other "treatments" people use to use in the 1800-1900s where they literally poured ammonia into snake bites :). If anyone's interested the University of Sydney have an opinion piece about the history of snake bite remedies: "hissstory how the science of snake bite treatments has changed".
It is almost a Darwin Award waiting to happen. Unfortunately, the person doing the recommendations and the person suffering will most likely not be the same.
I think that we have to be able to distinguish between historical/survivalist knowledge and modern medicine…most of the medicines you take are derived from plants, so knowing that, and knowing how they are used is not harmful. The thoughtless application of the kind of knowledge can be harmful, just as the thoughtless application of modern medicines can be (doctors aren’t perfect in the real world, as much as we appreciate them). Knowing the history of our relationship with the plants gives us a better understanding of ourselves and our planet.
Medicinal uses for plants are poorly researched and dangerous to recommend for acute conditions. Some can even do the opposite of what people think they do which is obviously the last thing you want. I certainly wouldn't condone going around pointing to seemingly random plants and saying they treat this and that. You would never see a video of someone going around pointing at medication in a pharmacy making these sorts of claims about so many things at once. And another often left out point is that just like medication, some medicinal plants are not safe to consume regularly, some are not even safe at all. I don't hate medicinal plants, some are great medicines, but they really need context just like any drug. For example, mint was mentioned for digestive issues. Mint contains a fair amount of menthol, and research has shown that menthol calms the muscles of your digestive track. Now that sounds great, and it usually is, but the menthol is a bit too effective, it's indiscriminate and relaxes certain muscle groups which could make digestive discomfort worse. There are IBS medications which combine it with things that excite certain muscles you don't want to be calmed to try and achieve a sweet spot. This also raises another point, not everything should be taken on it's own. Anyway, my point is it may seem mundane, but you are giving medical advice. Medical advice is not mundane, it's serious and it better be correct.
Also you are always running the risk of people going overboard with dosis like sage tea is great but you really have to limit how much you consume per day. Likewise as you said there are so many individual stuff that could alter or differ the wanted effect. Especially if people are having other medical conditions and or taking other medications for that. Probably a lot of people roll their eyes but I think you can never be to cautious with such topics
I fully share your concern about the dangers of DIY plant medicine. I would like to highlight three critical aspects: The lack of adequate research on the medicinal use of many plants. The difficulty of correctly identifying plants, as demonstrated in the movie Into the Wild. The risk of encountering harmful parasites.
@@kristenurbanec903 i would recommend, on matters of medicine, to trust modern medical science, and trust doctors (who have done much more research than a layperson could have done)
the second ruin in the video might be a good idea for more shower rooms or good dry changing spaces for the future if you ever put more parking spaces for vans or tents in that area. a lot of the videos that go over the rainy season always mention that it's very hard to have good dry spaces for drying clothes out. It might be really good for this if there are plans for more permanent residents in the future!
you can take oak cutting and plant them into the ground and they will become trees.....you can do this form of propagtion with many plants...and you should
I learned something from the plant section of the video, I have a patch of wild strawberry plants under an ancient (and somewhat poorly-kept) apple tree that I will have to work on getting into a sunny area!
The Brick 3x1 structured that was cleared...can be used as community showers, it has the doorways.... flat space.. one side for the Bucket with extdendable pipe and water faucet... smaller cutouts for the water in the floors going under the door way......to flow downwards and away and a flat roof to sit and relax on.. with side steps going up...but for that to happen. .the middle single walls need to get a second layer of bricks to hold the weight on top.. then placing some fresh cut thicker thicker then laied in the sun for drying...mamosa beams. or do mixed useage.. Storage and shower.. i mean.. you have 1.. so having another 2 shower with more privacy is more.. attracting for many.
Hello there! My name is Ricardo Casarin and I am a Forest Engineer in Brazil, and I have a warning for you about the ruin. Some Oak trees are very close to the construction. Plan to prune, which is not such a bad thing, not even for native species, especially the branches, but remember that there is a huge root system, which usually occupies the first cm of soil. Another suggestion is to transplant, or simply remove, but it is easier to try to transport from place and with a chance, unfortunately lose the plant. I love the videos and the community work behind it all!
Pulling on a rope in line with where the tree will fall, while sawing on the same side, meaning you will both pinch the chainsaw (kickback...) and make the tree fall down on you? Yeah, "sketchy" is an understatement...
The guy sawing seems like he’s used a chainsaw before but his tree cutting skills look rather un experienced. The other guys act completely amateurish. The mimosas have an uncommon size and fall quite weird due to them being thin and crooked but especially with the bigger ones some closer considering of how they’re grown to predict the falling and basic safe behavior during the work would make the job way easier. And the thing with the rope, nothings wrong wrong about using one, it’s really helpful in those tight spaces, but always tie the rope around another tree (changing you’re towing direction) so you can still stand out if the falling range.
Hi , your channel is amazing; I've never seen this type of construction work before. We would like to show part of your videos in some video/s report about your channel. We will add your link, your name, and your work will be mentioned in the video. Thank you!
i know they said that didn’t want to make merch because of the waste but like they could make limited edition art pieces out of the tiles. i am sure some people around camp love art and it would be a cool piece to feel a part of camp.
That's what I thought! I've just begun learning about trees this past year, and I thought that didn't look like a red oak to me. Maybe it's a translation thing
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. When spreading information regarding medical treatments, you need it to be done by a TRUE PROFESSIONAL, otherwise is misinformation. Spreading herbs on snake bites is not backed up scientifically. As any professional in project kamp does their job and explains the objective method, so science must applied to medical treatments like snake bites.
@@thuder6036 a scientist would be cool, a biologist or researcher, but it's difficult and I understand, since they might have on-site jobs to do. But they could simply use professionals who actually studied science and base their sentences on facts and official medical research, not "traditional treatments" or bs like that, because they could actually mean life or death in some situations.
Welcome to traditional medicine. Used for thousands of years but few have scientific backing. A lot of them work for yet unknown reasons, otherwise they wouldn't be stuck with us for thousands of years, but counterintuitive studying traditional medicine is harder than developing new synthetic medicine.
I also thought at the bee sting thing: ..."and this herb will absorb the venom from the wound". Eeeeh. I don't think that's how it works. To be fair, I don't know that much about beestings or venom, but isn't the venom waaaay flushed in the blood circulation before any herb could even do anything? And even if that where the case, won't you need ALOT of those herbs to even have enough of whatever active substance in that herb does al this wonderful cleaning?
I appreciate your suggestion, but as with the other ruin, many have proposed turning it into a bathroom. Perhaps the secret dream of many is to eliminate the Pupu Palace! It would be interesting to see if any architects can come up with more creative ideas for how to reuse these ruins.
Something I found that helped with the mimosa when they're starting to get to that size is running the chainsaw around the trunk to cut through the bark, so its not still attached when the tree starts to fall. Have had pieces connecting twist and pull the tree while falling, which with one mate under the tree pulling it down was a nightmare to watch. It also makes really good fire wood, though apparently not for cooking.

@@jonasplima if you've watched from the start, or go back and watch from the start I think you will clearly see that the only lesson they are really trying to learn is how to make a profitable TH-cam channel, they don't even spend the whole year on the land, all clearing off for the harsh winter months, preferring a centrally heated house or apartment to their vans and tents. Having said that, it has been hilarious watching them make so many silly mistakes, especially as they can always find a clip on TH-cam to show them the correct way to do all tasks, ironic really! Although they made so many stupid mistakes with the "digger scam" I still felt bad for them. But they are all computer boffins, so you think one of them would have checked the company that scammed them independently and not just via the scammers own website, I mean even just go on Google maps, put in the address the scammers had given them and on the map google provide will be the real name of the business at that address and not the made up one of the scammers.

I've gotta say everytime I see you guys cut big mimosa into logs/small chunks, I nearly cry lmao it would make great lumber beams for small bushcraft survival style huts of earth and wood, food for thought... because if those were kept nice and whole, just with the branches trimmed, it would make good lumber :) (not for whole american style housing) but yeah I know the bush clearing is tiring enough already... but still, I might come to Project Kamp to make such huts in the future, it would be amazing that some high quality mimosas (mainly the big ones) are left! :) thanks for the amazing video as always, and for the overall great project :)
She forgot to mention evil spirts and bad thoughts can be cast off by shaking a branches. Oh, and let’s not forget about the healing power of rocks. (Sarcasm)
RIP the bitrate in this video. I would suggest you use some lenses that can pull a decent focus and blur the background at the very least when doing the interviews, this will save the video from completely destroying the bitrate. Though with the gopro there is less that you can do to mitigate this other than setting it up on a tripod or putting it on a stone and lessening the amount of camera sway.
You may want to not use a strimmer (though, it IS a big strimmer) You prob want a "brush trimmer".. Though these don't use string to cut, they use big thick metal blades. It will get rid of brambles much easier. Only downside is maintenance of the blades, instead of just winding on some new string.

@@kristenurbanec903 True. But a quick google leads to tons of misinformation filled websites with very bold statements and no research to back it up.
It’s not being rude to call out what is clearly unfounded.
@@kristenurbanec903 i would recommend, on matters of medicine, to trust modern medical science, and trust doctors (who have done much more research than a layperson could have done)
Such a nice episode! It is amazing to see many familiar herbs that maybe were brought here by the Portuguese. Saludos desde Uruguay!
Happy to see Jaime! :)
the second ruin in the video might be a good idea for more shower rooms or good dry changing spaces for the future if you ever put more parking spaces for vans or tents in that area. a lot of the videos that go over the rainy season always mention that it's very hard to have good dry spaces for drying clothes out. It might be really good for this if there are plans for more permanent residents in the future!
Kudos to your video team. Love the amazing quality of your videos.
you can take oak cutting and plant them into the ground and they will become trees.....you can do this form of propagtion with many plants...and you should
Loved the cooking part! You guys should make more videos about the food in kamp (with recipes and how to reply - since everything is open source).
I learned something from the plant section of the video, I have a patch of wild strawberry plants under an ancient (and somewhat poorly-kept) apple tree that I will have to work on getting into a sunny area!
This man is not a trained arborist. His chainsaw techniques are dangerous.
Very interesting episode! I love that she gives all the different use of the plants, keep doing this guys it's really inspiring!

Just saw that so awesome!
Insulate one of the rooms in brick ruin and build battery storage for more solar panels on the roof and maybe on some clear area nearby .
Fun fact: Tempura was introduced to the Japanese by the Portuguese.
The Brick 3x1 structured that was cleared...can be used as community showers, it has the doorways.... flat space.. one side for the Bucket with extdendable pipe and water faucet... smaller cutouts for the water in the floors going under the door way......to flow downwards and away and a flat roof to sit and relax on.. with side steps going up...but for that to happen. .the middle single walls need to get a second layer of bricks to hold the weight on top.. then placing some fresh cut thicker thicker then laied in the sun for drying...mamosa beams.
or do mixed useage.. Storage and shower.. i mean.. you have 1.. so having another 2 shower with more privacy is more.. attracting for many.
Hello there! My name is Ricardo Casarin and I am a Forest Engineer in Brazil, and I have a warning for you about the ruin. Some Oak trees are very close to the construction. Plan to prune, which is not such a bad thing, not even for native species, especially the branches, but remember that there is a huge root system, which usually occupies the first cm of soil. Another suggestion is to transplant, or simply remove, but it is easier to try to transport from place and with a chance, unfortunately lose the plant.
I love the videos and the community work behind it all!
That was some very sketchy chainsaw work. Especially on that bigger tree. Please get some basic chainsaw training.
Pulling on a rope in line with where the tree will fall, while sawing on the same side, meaning you will both pinch the chainsaw (kickback...) and make the tree fall down on you? Yeah, "sketchy" is an understatement...
The guy sawing seems like he’s used a chainsaw before but his tree cutting skills look rather un experienced. The other guys act completely amateurish. The mimosas have an uncommon size and fall quite weird due to them being thin and crooked but especially with the bigger ones some closer considering of how they’re grown to predict the falling and basic safe behavior during the work would make the job way easier. And the thing with the rope, nothings wrong wrong about using one, it’s really helpful in those tight spaces, but always tie the rope around another tree (changing you’re towing direction) so you can still stand out if the falling range.
@@Widazer Alternatively, if there isn't a handy tree to wind the rope around, you can use two ropes at angles.
use safety pants. it protects from cutting off legs…
@@danielnuessli4547which is n ot very imaginary😢
Hi , your channel is amazing; I've never seen this type of construction work before. We would like to show part of your videos in some video/s report about your channel. We will add your link, your name, and your work will be mentioned in the video. Thank you!
I love ALL Project Kamp videos!
i know they said that didn’t want to make merch because of the waste but like they could make limited edition art pieces out of the tiles. i am sure some people around camp love art and it would be a cool piece to feel a part of camp.
Thinking about the kamp future, Jaimezinhos (little Jaimes) doesn't sound such a bad idea to me 😅
Great episode guys!
The large rotten log would make excellent mulch!
For Eva: you can reduce your food waste by composting it - it's barely any effort if at all and the outcome of it is *free* land and fertilizer!
Not sure if you have a different meaning for "red Oak" but with those leaves, this is definitely NOT a "Quercus rubra"...
That's what I thought! I've just begun learning about trees this past year, and I thought that didn't look like a red oak to me. Maybe it's a translation thing
It is a Quercus robur, also named English oak, and it's the most common oak in central Portugal. A "plant expert" should definitely know that...
Yep that's a Common Oak Quercus Roburoids. So much misinformation in the herbalist part
Well, it seems like after the excavator scam, now it's the herbalists' turn to take the stage of scams.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. When spreading information regarding medical treatments, you need it to be done by a TRUE PROFESSIONAL, otherwise is misinformation.
Spreading herbs on snake bites is not backed up scientifically. As any professional in project kamp does their job and explains the objective method, so science must applied to medical treatments like snake bites.
Kindly agree.
Medical science is not infallible. Plenty of people have been damaged or killed by western medical professionals.
Agreed we need on scientist that's staying there doing full research on herbology & biology & chemist
They can benefit & help out allot there
@@thuder6036 a scientist would be cool, a biologist or researcher, but it's difficult and I understand, since they might have on-site jobs to do. But they could simply use professionals who actually studied science and base their sentences on facts and official medical research, not "traditional treatments" or bs like that, because they could actually mean life or death in some situations.
it's a treatment to do before you can get help, gez.
Yo Jaime is back🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I miss u bro.. You very creative and hardworking ❤ good to have you back
Make it a public toilet and showering station with changing room! That would be your biggest project yet but it will be a good one!!
I highly doubt those medicinal claims are backed up by evidence
some of them are
Welcome to traditional medicine. Used for thousands of years but few have scientific backing. A lot of them work for yet unknown reasons, otherwise they wouldn't be stuck with us for thousands of years, but counterintuitive studying traditional medicine is harder than developing new synthetic medicine.
I also thought at the bee sting thing: ..."and this herb will absorb the venom from the wound". Eeeeh. I don't think that's how it works. To be fair, I don't know that much about beestings or venom, but isn't the venom waaaay flushed in the blood circulation before any herb could even do anything? And even if that where the case, won't you need ALOT of those herbs to even have enough of whatever active substance in that herb does al this wonderful cleaning?
Toad licking evidence
@@pavuk357 Well, someone was smart enough to develop aspirin from traditional medicine
I loved the outro shot! Really gives a great overview of where todays episode took place. Bigup to the videomaking team!
brick ruin can be used as a bathroom.
as some sort of house?
I appreciate your suggestion, but as with the other ruin, many have proposed turning it into a bathroom. Perhaps the secret dream of many is to eliminate the Pupu Palace! It would be interesting to see if any architects can come up with more creative ideas for how to reuse these ruins.
Hey those small rooms in the rooms will make great accommodation rooms! GREAT VIDEO
That Oak worked on that branch for a year to be wasted. Oak trees are so beneficial for wildlife, just remember to respect them.
Congrats on 700.000 Subscribers🎉🎉
Something I found that helped with the mimosa when they're starting to get to that size is running the chainsaw around the trunk to cut through the bark, so its not still attached when the tree starts to fall. Have had pieces connecting twist and pull the tree while falling, which with one mate under the tree pulling it down was a nightmare to watch. It also makes really good fire wood, though apparently not for cooking.
I can't believe how far you guys have come with this! My dream is one day to be self sufficient. 😊
Self sufficient? Have you seen how many computers, smart phones, solar panels and other vast quantities of tech this lot carry about? The only way they could be self sufficient is if they buy shares in Microsoft and Apple. 😅
@@nickmail7604I mean, technically they are "trying to find out" what sustentability is in the first place and experimenting everything.
@@nickmail7604 Hey, you might want to take a reading comprehension course if you thought I said THEY are self sufficient.
Please read slowly before commenting things that are inherently wrong.
I've been following the channel for years now and am fully aware of their electronics, you know, the stuff they use to make the very video and stats that we're watching.
Maybe leave a comment here when you're done with your reading comprehension class! I'd love to see how far you've come lmao
@@jonasplima if you've watched from the start, or go back and watch from the start I think you will clearly see that the only lesson they are really trying to learn is how to make a profitable TH-cam channel, they don't even spend the whole year on the land, all clearing off for the harsh winter months, preferring a centrally heated house or apartment to their vans and tents. Having said that, it has been hilarious watching them make so many silly mistakes, especially as they can always find a clip on TH-cam to show them the correct way to do all tasks, ironic really! Although they made so many stupid mistakes with the "digger scam" I still felt bad for them. But they are all computer boffins, so you think one of them would have checked the company that scammed them independently and not just via the scammers own website, I mean even just go on Google maps, put in the address the scammers had given them and on the map google provide will be the real name of the business at that address and not the made up one of the scammers.
@@morganraymo6959 I'm sure that one day you too can be as shit as self sufficiency as these guys, though whether you will be able to go "home" each winter will be dependent on how stupid you truly are, though from here it looks like a lot.
Maravilloso el uso que s ele da a plantas que tenemos cerca y que ya no sabemos sobre ellas. Jaime! Me estabas poniendo nervioso al no usar guantes al principio cogiendo todo eso de las ruinas! Menos mal que al final has usado guantes jajajajaa.
These ruins have all the appearance of having been ''fiambreras' or places to dry and preserve food.
Seeing Jaime without headphones is a new thing !
I've gotta say everytime I see you guys cut big mimosa into logs/small chunks, I nearly cry lmao it would make great lumber beams for small bushcraft survival style huts of earth and wood, food for thought... because if those were kept nice and whole, just with the branches trimmed, it would make good lumber :) (not for whole american style housing)
but yeah I know the bush clearing is tiring enough already... but still, I might come to Project Kamp to make such huts in the future, it would be amazing that some high quality mimosas (mainly the big ones) are left! :)
thanks for the amazing video as always, and for the overall great project :)
Algorithme here we go. You guys are awesome! 🤗
Pamela is alive which is cool but to me is not enough to prove that those plants have those incredible properties to heal like she said.
Yay! Jaime is back! 🤗
She forgot to mention evil spirts and bad thoughts can be cast off by shaking a branches. Oh, and let’s not forget about the healing power of rocks. (Sarcasm)
RIP the bitrate in this video. I would suggest you use some lenses that can pull a decent focus and blur the background at the very least when doing the interviews, this will save the video from completely destroying the bitrate. Though with the gopro there is less that you can do to mitigate this other than setting it up on a tripod or putting it on a stone and lessening the amount of camera sway.
Good thing small oaks will resprout from the stump after cutting down.
Such an enjoyable episode!! Cheers folks!! Hope youre all well!! ❤
You may want to not use a strimmer (though, it IS a big strimmer) You prob want a "brush trimmer".. Though these don't use string to cut, they use big thick metal blades. It will get rid of brambles much easier. Only downside is maintenance of the blades, instead of just winding on some new string.
Use the granite stones from the ruins to create walls, paths or special spaces.
Just a hint.😊
Don’t eat large quantities of gorse flowers, they contain small amounts of cyanide, they taste more like almonds than coconut.
I really appreciated the introduction of Eva in the beginning of the video. You should do more of those to introduce the new kampers!
Yes, please!🙏I just recently spent way too much time backtracking through so many episodes trying to find several names (and the spelling) to no avail. Please include names on each episode, possibly at the bottom of the screen?! Thank you...I love you all, you're amazing and I'm so impressed with amount of work you all do...the way life used to be!!! 😆...Saline, Michigan🤟🙏💞
@@jntd4160 Yeah, that would be nice. Just a quick tag.
Are we watching the same videos, because they've been introducing new campers in every single episode, how could they do more of that?
Good morning how are you guys doing today you look like you're doing a good job keep up the good work hope you get your bulldozer or your tractor back or whatever it is and have a good day
Wild idea: Have a bonfire in a controlled area with all the cut mimosa and make some bio-char for your plants/ garden
Esta lleno de Grillos! (it´s full of crickets!) The Spanish-speaking community is happy with what he said! 😀
2:50 note that to my knowledge stinging nettle can block your airways if you eat it without processing it first
If you don't chew your food maybe, but it's pretty safe to eat raw, just roll it into a ball in your finger and chew eat before swallowing :)
@@Dawildogramaybe of you let it sit for a dew days after cutting? Maybe it's different species but the ones I'm thinking of sting you pretty bad and can cause swelling
Thank you. I liked this one very much.
Great update
YAY! I missed Jaime he us my most favorite ❤️❤️❤️🌿🌿🌿
Each Ruin could become its own house, taking into consideration the size of the circus Trailer and the size of the three ruins. + they are on the same area but fairly distant from each other.
The brick building should be communal wash rooms. If you can flow of water there use the run of water for watering flowers or crop.
Love your videos as always!
Hey, fellas why don't you use a waterfall to generate electricity for camp by using an Arduino and turbine. it could be a big step towards sustainable living.
loved the ruin part, not the herbological one. (i loved the jaime unit of mesurement)
I love the little "I'm getting out of the way" dance the guy in the black t-shirt does at 22:04 :)
While the plants she is going through are 'edible' people like myself are highly allergic, cleavers make my whole body swell up from touch or from breathing near them. Always stick to things you know
@@Sophia-uc9qh I am sorry you have allergies, however that should not mean that herbs are harmful and you probably did not intend to mean that. Sorry for you weakened immune system.
Bummer for you.
@@jackiehoracek I meant that not everyone can eat everything, people without knowledge should not just go outside and eat random plants, what might be okay for one person is not for another
@@jackiehoracek and allergies are from an overactive immune system
@@Sophia-uc9qhit's a sensible point.
Three room ruin looks great for campers to sleep in, a bed and chair that’s all, oh a roof over head.
Awesome to see Hyme back.
Yes!
Ps. Bring in some older people
The plant section was really cool. Wish I had a yard.
Take the red brick one and turn it into living space it would give you 3 individual rooms with a single window and door for each room.
Broken tiles are very suitable for driveways
Loving the longer videos!
Jaime is so great!!
Kind of hoping the point is reached where some actual building happens. Much less entranced with this years progress as opposed to previous years. Maybe with Jaime back...
A herbalist from Ireland sounds like a euphemism for a witch (Wicca). ;p
Jayme is back
omg put those things away before you poke an eye out :)
Skirt-grabber we use in Poland 🇵🇱 to make a lemonade 🍹🍋
A pokrzywę przerabiamy na sałatkę, czarny bez na sok, miętę na herbatę, głog na nadciśnienie, z lawendy robimy szyszki do szafy z pościelą, z pędów sosny syrop na kaszel. Wiedźma z Irlandii nie musi nam tego tłumaczyć 😜 Ale jak żmija ukąsi to nie leczymy tego okładem z babki...
That last joke was a good one. Keep it up lads!
If you accidentally break off native tree branches you could try propagating them again by leave them in water or just sticking in the ground depending on the tree
