Loved this

A saw, a tree trunk and imagination! A good formula!

i love how most replayed section at the front was because he said thick fuck 0:53

i had no idea cork was a tree! I always thought it was just pieces of other wood glued together. very interesting.

This is so cool!

this is great

fantastic video! loved getting the cork crash course

love the music, where can we listen?🙂

i need to insulate my roof, i'll use expanded cork because of this video (well i'm going to check a little bit about it first but still, i'll probably do it !) nice vid

Extremely well made video, very much appreciate what you all are doing. Videography and videos have been wonderful and truly appreciate what you all do.

As I agree, that expanded Cork is a great insulation material since carbon positive. However, the processes and machines are ancient and the full potential for CO2-reduction there is not pushed to its limits. I would have been interested in more numbers, like what is the amount of harvested cork which closes wine bottles (does not need to be sustainable) and what part for the other products. What is the insulation value compared to standard insulation materials?

Excellent. Thank you for the tour! ✌️

Absolutely loved this video – thanks for making it! I often specify and build with expanded cork insulation. It's a fantastic product, not only as straight forward insulation boards but also as an isolation / bridging material – for example, when joining a new timber frame extension to an existing brick or stone building, installing 20-30mm of expanded cork between the two makes for a great joining material that not only provides a thermal break but also helps buffer any movement differentials / expansion / contraction whilst maintaining airtightness. The more different thicknesses you have on site the more different creative solutions to building problems you find for it!

Super interesting. Thank you

just heard about the massive wild fire in Portugal, hope it is away from you guys.

To harvest the cork from the trees "sobreiros" , it has to be done in certain years, it can't be done every year. It's something that doesn't destroy the tree. And yes it's very sustainable.

Just watching on the news about the fires and deaths near Coimbre. How close are you to that and is everybody okay?

Hey projectKamp, I'm a video editor and heard you were looking for one, Am right Now in Sao Martinho Portugal, and available to work as soon as possible. God Bless you All in your beautiful project. Meet asap.

Just by the frequency of uploaded videos, we can see how hard they work

I just binged all of your videos in the span of about a day and a half, loved every second, cant wait for the next one

Drink every time someone mentions cork

Always interesting content. Love to watch your videos 👍🏻

awesome!

Lovely video getting to know the cork manufacturing process and some useful applications 🙂 Thank you for sharing

That was really interesting.

He speaks good English 😅

Great video so interesting. We would like to buy quite a lot of insulation cork. Would it be possible to get the contact details on the factory?

Are you also plant some cork trees on the land?

Really good insulation!!

Which book are you reading? 😀

Have been thinking of Project Kamp as I see forest fires in Portugal. Stay safe. Good wishes from Japan.

This is a fantastic video and builds community with the local Portuguese who are now your neighbors. Keep up the good work!

I’m gone, I know it was a big project and last season was ground breaking prep work for the bigger project. But, I loved 🥰 the simplicity and Dave’s sense of humour. It’s all just too crowded for me now. Seems so rushed. Plus, I can’t support a vegan lifestyle. Best of luck, looks like your support is growing and that’s great. Maybe I’ll look in a few months from now.

Great episode! really interesting and great editing!

Wow, I am in love 🙂 Great episode

How long do cork trees need to grow prior to being old enough and large enough to allow cork harvesting every ten to fifteen years? What does the beautiful cork cost when used as an insulation material? Such a beautiful material with lovely properties! These gentlemen who remove the cork are experienced artisans, it appears, and are demonstrating a labor of love. I adore that Portugal has summarily outlawed cutting a cork tree, requiring people be accountable for the protection of these beautiful trees. Portugal has a dreadful boring creature that can absolutely destroy the integrity of the trees and wood beams. Wood being an important resource in Portugal, they must be concerned with this dreadful little creature. Love these fabulous cork trees! Thank you for taking the time and effort to share this important information with us! I have had problems with allergies my whole life, but cork, cork resin, and the cork trees are special and cause no problems. Many natural resins and oils from trees make me seriously ill, but not the cork tree. I adore the texture, the way it feels, it's properties including it's scent. Cork is so gorgeous, lightweight, and beautifully textured… a near perfect substance. It is all natural too, created by Mother Nature and God. The best we can do is appreciate it and treat the lovely trees with the love and respect they deserve. By doing so, they'll generously share their cork bark with us for many more generations of human beings to come. Wonder how many hundreds of years a cork tree can live and grow? Plant a tree for each child, and know their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will enjoy the trees for so many generations into the future!

very interesting!

Inspirational works. Love it.

That is so cool. I always wondered why the cork board I had as a kid was different than the cork I usually see. It was expanded cork with big pieces and a dark color. I remember my mother breaking off a piece and burning it. She used it on her face to make a mustache and beard, and went to a Halloween party as a lumberjack. I don’t think I have really seen expanded cork since then.

A plant that grows as vigorously as hemp absorbs everything else just as much more CO2 via photosynthesis than forest. Hemp is therefore an important piece in being able to "store" carbon to reduce CO2 levels. Getting hemp to replace oil in various plastic products and energy in general thus provides a double benefit on the Co2 accounts

Fascinating! Thank you so much for taking us along! Enjoyed from Texas!

This was a fascinating video. Thank you for taking us along. The things you can learn. Now I want to know how where I can get the expanded cork in my area.

Hey! I found your channel recently and i've been watching all the episodes with great interest! We are on a similar mission here in Brazil, creating our own community with the main focus being self-sufficiency, so i try to get all the ideas that i can from others who are doing the same. Its almost a "strange relief" to see that people from the other side of the Ocean have similar struggles! lol.

Thanks for the videos and if you need anything from "the jungle", we are here.
Waiting for the next episodes!

Ps.: Just as a reference in case you get curious, our project is with the name of "Rancho SV" in our channel.

Thanks for the great content as usual!
