Hey friends!
Here a special winter update! Not so special for you here on Patreon since you already receive winter updates. But it’s special because this one is also on Youtube! First time we do a public upload in winter!
It felt like a nice moment to reflect on the last 5 years and look what is coming next. Looking forward also comes with challenges. Coincidentally, it is also u...

Hey Friends,
In this first winter post we bring you some pictures on how things are doing at kamp now almost everyone is away, some pictures to update on the planted and seeded areas, small news and a cool comparison with drone pictures on how the land evolved over the year. Hope you like it!...

This week is the last episode of this season. 😢 We planted and seeded the bare soil we left from our landscaping projects, finished the Granite Ruin with some nice second-hand furniture, and wrapped up Kamp for this season as we head into our winter break. A lot of stuff, so t...

This week's video shows what we did on the Brick ruin before the season ends. We got a lot done, like securing the walls, putting in windows and doors, and rebuilding the outside wall. We also built the inside walls with hemp blocks, which we were excited to try. Finally, we mad...

This week's video features again the Landscaping team (yeah, they work like crazy) opening new areas in the Middle Land. Although we did many projects since we bought it, we still have areas to open to see what we can do with them in the future. A lot of chopping, brushcutting and last digger project of the season. Hope you enjoy it!
Hey Friends!
This week marks the beginning of the end; there are only three updates left for Season 5 (#167 will be the last). It’s a bittersweet feeling 🥲. For now, we are wrapping up the Granite Ruin, with the landscaping team clearing the mimosas from the perimeter 🌿. Meanwhile, Julie embarks on a new adventure exploring Portuguese second-hand shops to find the furniture we wil...

This week we finally bring you some update on the brick ruin. 🧱 We will still have another update on it this season, but for now we have the roof and the floor ready to show. Also Liam and Oguzhan left while Benno and Amelie joined, and this video shows a glimpse of that side of Kamp, where people handover their work to the next ones and we all contribute to a common missi...

This week we bring you the building of the outdoor kitchen for the granite ruin. 🥘 It was started by Menno and finished by Josie. Good example of a project being handover to a new Kamper, and a showcase of these two super-skilled makers. 🪚🤝
Hey friends,
This week we bring you a couple of much needed upgrades at Basekamp. This year we have been slightly less people at the same time, but many more people came with vans 🚐 and we are also doing more projects and using more powertools. 🛠️🔌 So we went making more spaces for vans in an area we started clearing beginning of last season 🌳 (2025-10-06 14:00:31 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey friends,
This week marks the final project for Miguel before he leaves Kamp. It’s quite a challenge to manage humidity in a semi-underground room, especially when using natural materials. However, Miguel is going to experiment with some techniques, and we’ll see how they hold up when...

this week our update shows the de-rooting and re-shaping of the Community Center area. This project was a long one, mostly because we had some problems with the digger and we decided to re-arrange our projects' schedule, and then we had fire restrictions, so we could only work un...

Hey Friends!
This week, we’re excited to present our Season 5 One Shot Video. Already a classic, for this episode we have Dave as the presenter. Interestingly, he seems a bit out of place since he spends most of his time away from Kamp, taking care of Mia and working on launching a new vers...

This week, we continue our work on the Granite ruin/house. We will be plastering the top room using natural materials, transforming the rough rock walls into a beautifully polished finish. Miguel will guide us through the process and add some creative touches at the end. We hope you enjoy it!

Hey Friends,
This week, we have two cool projects led by women. First, Monique is building a custom door using leftover materials. After that, Julie and Alana will update us on an experiment they started a year ago to eliminate mimosas.
Hey Friends,
This week, we’re excited to share an important milestone for Kamp. We have successfully extended our water distribution system to the Middle Land and the Office. Although we’ve been working in and using these areas beyond Base Kamp for some time, having the pipes laid underground feels like a more solid and settled step. 💧

This week we get back to the Granite Ruin 🏠 to work on the floor inside. What's special about it? We will make our own insulation panels out of clay and straw. It's a bit of a new try for us, but we count on Miguel who has been learning about it for some time. He wouldn't consider himself an expert, but he knows something about it.
