This week was pretty rough. Next video will make it great again, with recycled basketball floor and old shirts as a bed covers. Support on Patreon to already see it now www.patreon.com/posts/project-kamp-81-84098967

I was not expecting to see Khal Drogo ripping up an old German post van on Monday but here we are!!

Can we shoutout the editors on this one? Absolutely crushed the montages, transitions, cuts and music fade ins. Bravo!

the "meet" section is a great addition to the format

Companies are sleeping on this ad opportunity. To give you free building/camping or whatever stuff you need and get an honest review in return

this dude is a machine!!! He needs to stick around for projects like this

I can’t wait to see project kamp’s community house and it becoming a prosperous community

These 3 make an amazing team! It's also сute to watch a gentle giant Jaime and Kevin working together because of the height difference!

Jamie has got some real skills. A few centuries ago he surely would have build some long ships to explore the world beyond the big ocean. He‘s a viking.

The kampers' introductions are amazing!!! Also it's useful when you remind us each person's names because let's be honest sometimes i forget them

Don't forget your safety glasses when you're ripping this sort of thing apart. They're pretty cheap and could save your sight.

To the video team at Project Kamp, you guys are ABSOLUTELY crushing it! Introducing the various team members at the start is the perfect way to get viewers invested in each week’s project! The variety in music keeps things feeling fresh & I really appreciated the forms of montage with no music at all, just cuts showing time progressing. Those moments really felt like we were in there, just hanging out! Keep it up!

Hello from Hong Kong! I've been following project kamp for quite a while, watching videos of your ideas and task results are so addictive. Of course, surprised that Kelvin, someone from HONGKONG is joining the team! love how diverse the cultural and expertise it is! ♥♥♥

Waited a few videos for Kevin’s intro, absolutely delighted to see him from our home city Hongkong 🇭🇰 You’r amazing !! I can imagine life in Project kamp must be so different from hardcore city life in HK. But u’re putting all skills and talent altogether!! Add oil Kevin!! The snake cable part was so amusing that should be an Olympic event ❤

i'm a 74 year old hippie; it warms my heart and gives me hope for the world to see young folk with such a promising vision for the future!

What you did with the music and syncing it to the videos is Hollywood level

Great job guys. When you need to snake wires in a conduit the best way is to tie a light string to a bit of plastic and suck it from the other end with a vacuum cleaner. Than you can use it as a pull wire or if wires are heavy pull a thicker cord to pull

Yes Baby, Dutch style action. You can mix the styrofoam with cement for isolation.

Next time, to get a wire through a pipe, put something like a plastic bag or a rag tied onto the wire that will act like a plug and use a shop-vac to suck the plug-and-attached-wire through!

-This season really feels so productive and fast paced! -This is the first time I'm tempted to go to patreon because I really want to see this finished -I agree that this team was a blast and would love to see them together again in another project

It's so amazing to see people coming together at the camp. Now you need a few Canadian lumberjacks to cut all the invasive trees and fire proof lol

Nico to meet you too Mariona and Kevin. Really looking foward to the next project kamp update!

Glad to see you're being very safe when making space. Can't wait to see what this space becomes.

Would love to see a "Day in the life" kind of video touring around the Kamp from a morning to night seeing what people are up to whether working, relaxing , or socializing.

check out mixing shredded styrofoam with cement to make stucco or an insulation product.

I love how you carefully remove everything to preserve material and not destroy!

"What are we going to do with Mattia's van?!?" - "Take it behind the barn." - "NOOOO... Let's pimp it, Kamp style."

Jaime is the MVP. What a chad

Everyone in this video worked hard and used their personal skills. This was an excellent example of a healthy community. Also, the video makers did a great job again. I think they have found their pace and have a good balance between fast/slow and upbeat/quiet. The only thing I could suggest is more variety in the music (or songs with more variety in them), otherwise it's perfect!

I love, love, LOVE your ingenuity in making the yellow van beautiful and functional! That said, your saw safety in this video was scary. Please use clamps and a push tool when you're cutting with a saw so you don't lose digits (that would be sucky!). Can't wait to see what you guys do next!

Styrofoam can be used for chair and stool cushions, for seedlings starters, it also promotes drainage whatever you can get from that info.

Hi, A couple of thoughts. 1) With the roof gone, you can add height to the walls, so that you put more insulation in the roof. 2) if the van is never going to be driven again, can you incorporate the driver and passenger seat spaces into the living area of the van?

Project Kamp motivates me in my dream to live off the grid

Impressive job on the sound editing: the works sounds blend smoothly into the music and even result in a new tune - my ears are thanking you!

It would be really cool if you guys could use the old engine for something, like disconnect it from the wheels and use it to power tools or something like that!

Hello Marion. Hello Kevin. ✌️ Really looking forward to seeing the PK orange-peel clothing line and definitely the upcycling innovations.!

I can't even express how happy I am when a new video comes out. :)

Tip for removing rivets, if anyone encounters it sometime: use a sharp tool or punch to punch out the steel head that is left inside the rivet before using a drill, it will prolong the life of the drill and make drilling the rivets out much easier! hope this helps

Tip for getting a wire through one of those hoses: Tie a rock (roundest possible) to a thin rope and let that fall all the way through, then knot that to the wire on the other side and pull it back. Tip: always have to wires and one going back with the wire so that when you need to pull something else through you can easily get another line in without having to dig it up.

Jaime is a beast. We need more of him! He is invaluable to the project.

Well. It now has good ventilation for the hot summers

Kevin is truly curious 😅😂 Living it dangerously❤

My new favorite person on project camp: Mariona 😃

As you said the van was not going to be driven any more, was there any particular reason why you did not remove the rear wheels and wheel arches to create a bigger floor space?

29:10 Very satisfying. Nice use of the drone also. You deserve 🍕 party ^^:

DId you consider removing the tires so you could bring the body closer to the ground for easier ingress and egress? At this point, you can salvage the rear axle, all of the suspension and the engine for adaptive reuse in upcoming projects. Store the salvage under the roof overhang on a pallet to slow rusting. As it sits, attached to the body, the rate of rust decomposition is accelerated due to moisture rising from the earth. THis would have been a good time to add a vapor barrier under the body entire structure to stop moisture from rising, slowing rust decomp. Removing the floor was unnecessary once an examination determined that it had been constructed properly - EPS insulation (can not be recycled), nailing strips and a vapor barrier finished with thin real wood flooring. You can not improve on that construction and the EPS and vapor barrier is strictly landfill material. That is a shame. THe difficult to remove wall is high grade aluminum extrusion. Valuable at the crap dealer. Can not be cut with a grinding wheel as the soft aluminum clogs the cutting edge. You want a demolition saw with a blade for this job. In the US we call it a Sawzall. You should add one to the tool locker with an assortment of blades. With the appropriate blade, a demolition saw is handy for cutting smaller (diameter) pieces of firewood. If it is battery operated (rather than plugin) it can be used for pruning large branches and cutting down mimosa.

Now I'm remembering how these vans used to drive around when I was a kid. Kind of nostalgic. And kind of jealous.

Wondering if in the next update, we'll see the rear wheels removed so the internal parts of the wheel-wells can be removed giving more 'real estate' inside of the van.?

The wooden door on the side of the van came out great! 👍🏼

Jaime is like a one man army, really shone in this video. But still, congrats to the whole team for their amazing job!

Jaime fire me up! That transition between hard work skills and soft computer design! My lord jesus!

To pull wire through a long piece of conduit; attach the wire to a cloth plug that is a medium tight fit to the inside of the conduit on one end and the most powerful vacuum cleaner (suction side) to the other end. If the fit between the plug and conduit is right, it should fly right through. Eazy-peazy. Ending all of your conduit runs in junction boxes dug into the earth will facilitate the construction of your micro grid into the future. Oversize the home run from the power room to the first junction box to accommodate future load. Two more tools you need is an impact driver and penetrating oil (20:30) to break corroded screws free. I think the container roof you built is an ideal design for this build. Low overhang oriented to the front porch/deck, solves all of the roof leak problems, provides shade and produces natural convection cooling of the roof. Build the secondary roof so it can be dismounted in one piece in the future when the van body life has run out. The demolition of the fiberglass roof was unnecessary. Removing one of the leaking skylights for an inspection would have revealed it to be a three play panel with a fiberglass top layer, polyisocyanurate foam core and an inner skin. So the roof had high performance insulation. It was not designed to support the weight of a person. It was serving its intended purpose and the primary convection roof would have made it fully functional. Worse, the demolished fiberglass and polyisocyanurate is strictly landfill material now. That is a shame.

You guys need to build a bunch of sawhorses so you can have workbenches...

Keep up the good work Project Kamp folks!

Great sound, audio and editing on this video, not to mention all the hard work dismantling the van. Looking forward to seeing it completed

The community house will be awesome. Great work from those that did the hard work so far. I hope that more people watch & learn from Project Kamp, on how to up cycle resources & live more sustainably.

Jaime is a beast and skilful... Nice team work!!! Waiting for the ceiling work... Promising for sure!

Marianna's face is identical to my maternal aunt in Morocco we are Amazigh tribe (north African indigenous) of the Atlas mountains 🥰

10:47 That must be the most friendly wasps in the world!

Only good thing happening on Monday for me is the Project Kamp video. Thank you

What awesome editing and soundtrack! Great job, videographers.

Very cool episode. So nice to see how everyone works together and gets along. Very inspiring.

Wow! I hope it gets a nice glass roof!

the editing in this video was superb! really enjoyed the style.

Got so excited when you pulled that door from storage

editing and especially the sound was very good this week. 5*

So much hard work, I just know the end result is going to be amazing.

Wow! Off to a great start with the very careful levelling. Professional job!

In the future when you lay any kind of lines underground you should put a colored lint a few cm underground so if anybody starts digging in the wrong place they’re warned.

You could with the fiberglass make a septic tank reservoir underground cut to parts and fiberglass , it all depends on the status of the fiberglass you have there but it might be doable, great work !

You can grind the styrofoam and add it to concrete to make insulation! Elsa Rae has a great video on how they're using that technique for their home in Colorado, USA!

I really like the edits in the video. Kudos camera crew ❤

Pro tip if you need to pull a cable through a hose again: Get a small plastic bag and tie a string to it. Put a vacuum cleaner on the other end to suck it through. Then pull the cable through with the string. That's how we do it with conduit in concrete slabs.

I'm really enjoying your videos. For the sheets of styrofoam recycle, I believe you can grind them up, mix with sand, concrete and water for use as insulation.

You could remove the steering wheel and even the steering column and dashboard and use that space for cupboards.

awesome video, a lot of hard work in the heat of summer, much respect to the team

Is there a specific reason for removing the old rubber seal from the previous door? I fail to see how it would have posed a significant issue, given that you attached the new doorframe directly to the vehicle frame. The seal could have been easily compressed, and could have provided added insulation against moisture and temperature.

Appreciating the sound design on this episode :)

love all the progress this season!

15:18 Not a grinder for that task! You need a reciprocating saw! It would be the correct tool for that job!

Can't wait to see how this all develops. I hope to be breaking ground on my home in about 1.5 years (own the land already). Long term hope to figure out some more communal living style arrangement within the zoning permissions.

26:15 Jesse pinkmen amd walter white vibez♻️

seems easier to frame out a house than this complete redo, roof and all. If you keep it on wheels to move around that's different but not for a static build.

I didn't go through the bazillion mold comments but I'm in the water remediation and mold removal business and saw some bad advice. Here are my comments for what they may be worth. 1) As you know mold requires food (organic materials), water (cold, dark, unventilated areas contain a higher density of moisture), and oxygen to start and spread. Bottom line is that you cannot leave your abode unprotected again next winter or even a few weeks at a time. Dehumidifiers are cheap and a manufacturer would chip in one for each of the two main buildings without a problem. You just need to be certain you get an auto-dehumidifier (not continuous that would be a fire hazard and suck energy). There are pod casters using these in off grid / summer homes all the time. An Auto-DU has a thermostat you can adjust humidity by Wi-Fi and when the 50 pint tank is full it discharges through a 9.5 mm hose to the sink drain. 2) You also know to be more cognizant of building materials like insulation, wall board behind porcelain, and paint/stain coatings have to be better than a sealant or barrier. They must non-porous and moisture resistant. In the US a product called Kilz is a popular primer used below paint. By its very nature latex paint was invented with microscopic pores that allows water a way out, so water doesn't do damage trying to bust through like with the old hard shell oil base paints. In our business we have a silly way of explaining the science of drying to the customer by saying, "wet goes to dry" and that's why mold spreads so rapidly. Stick the corner of a napkin in a glass of water and watch the water take-off up the napkin against gravity... it's trying to get to where it is dry. 3) Do not use bleach to kill mold as so many so-called experts recommend. First, bleach is a toxic chemical both harmful to the environment as well as cause respiratory problems in people. Second, the residual of bleach will kill any subsequent mold remediation products you may try to use later and render them ineffective. If you must go organic use "Undiluted White Distilled Vinegar" with 5% acidity. I now use Vinegar on 95% of mold jobs and have never had a resurgence. I offer and carry specialty mold remediation products to every job, but fewer and fewer customers or their doctors will sign off on use even though these same products are used in Hospital rooms between patients. The specialty mold product most widely endorsed by US Gov't agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and Industry Associations is called "RMR-141" with claims to be organic. Sorry for the length, but I do have one strong criticism of the group, you are all so careful to wear protective clothing, gloves, goggles etc. BUT NO MASKS. I'll give you first-hand knowledge that one day you may wake up with debilitating respiratory issues and it will be too late. COVID is still with us and there are plenty of masks around. Please wear a mask any time around mold. Love your work.

i think i'm in love with mariona

If you need to get a pull line through a conduit, use a vacuum cleaner and a rag tied to a kite string 👍

"OK, a bit rough, but we *saw* no other way." I see what you did there, editors 😂

It will be very comfortable living module Very interesting who will win the prize to live in there 👍👍👍👍

Hi. I recommend take off the living space from car and use mercedes as a tractor on land. This type of car are very reliable and strong. You can make flat bed to move big stuff around

Great work! Shame to see the internal sliding door removed I reckon that was an original feature of the post van which is why is was so difficult to remove. Would have made a great division from the hot front cab

The editing makes the saw sounds sync in with the music, great edit

Big dude being careful to not split any reusable wood, and that netting is good too come the heat to leave a van window open.

I love the introductions and how you guys worked together on this project! It is already a huge improvement over the old broken version

My anxiety for your hands is peaking ahaha. Please, especially when cutting/handling metal - wear gloves!! From the brief look, the interior design is looking pretty great! Love the decision to ditch the road-worthiness and just create a great place to live in a stationary object.

Can't wait to see where you're going with that van. There's so much possibility ! BTW, from a woodworker to another, great job on that door trim, it looks mint ! ^^

I love seeing this place grow :)

So impressed with all your projects!

TIP FOR WIRES AND TUBES!! use an air compressor to blow a thin rope or heavy string through the tube, and use the string to pull the wire. it's very fast and easy. a shop vac can also work to suck the string through the tube i love the old post vehicles. i always wanted a deutche post mk2 golf van. they were so cool! that styrofoam could maybe be broken into tiny bits and put into bags to use as insulation behind paneling.

That's quite shallow for an electrical trench. Electrical code in the United States is generally 18" or 24" depending on encasement or direct burial of the line. Only low voltage lines would be seen that shallow, but your cord looks like a ~120V line. Consider putting that deeper!!

I love the chemistry of everyone! It looks fun out there!
