Build us a pizza oven

Let’s get straight to the point. We need a pizza oven. Essential for a community to build a strong Saturday night routine. And we want a super nice one. Stone oven wood fired and made without using cement. You might need to do some research for that first, get the materials, build it and test it. We needs lot’s of testing.

Build compost toilets

Kind of essential, toilets. We need 2 compost toilets. There are many variations and different methods on the web, we need the version that works in our climate. Up to you to figure out. We need a 3D drawing (for sharing) and you need to come and build the structure around it from wood. With some improvised tooling. If you are lucky there is pizza as well. Gives us some good material for testing.

Duration: 2-3 weeks
Requirements: building experience.

Help to build a weather station

We want to setup a few weather station as mention in this update video. To keep track of humidity/temperature/wind/rainfall etc. It will be shared open source online so others can replicate. The community already started working on this in a Special Discord Server. You can join them to help out or see the project on Github

Video maker for weekly updates

We need video making skills to produce weekly updates. We aim to have two people on sight to capture the work the is going on. Filming + edditing skills are needed. The main challenge is that it needs to happen weekly and the setting here is very basic (not a climate control office) If you are up for a wild video making experience in the nature with a growing Youtube channel sign up! The period is from now untill end season ( 21st November 2022)

Yearly Timelapses

We would love to track our progress overtime in long timelapses. That are setup in various locations, weatherproof in a box with their own powersupply. Taking a picture everyday. Ideally we find a way to utilize old compact camera's, DSLR's and gopro's that are dusting away. Would be a great use for them. And this would benifit other projects around the world. more info about long timelapses and canon hack kit
‍
Starts: March 2022 (or start remote)
Duration: As long as it takes you to setup
Requirements: We share our solution open source.

New Version Compost toilet

We’ve built a first version of our compost toilet last year. We need another toilet and want to iterate on the design, V2. Come and design an improved version with upgrades, build it, document it. And test it 💩
‍
Starts: April onwards
Duration: 1-2 months
Requirements: Design/Building experience + CAD

Make a Height Map

For our ecological planning (and fun) we could really use a height map with contour lines. This map/model will be used to plan our landscape. There are some height maps available online but not complete enough. We are not sure what it takes to finish a good map in a 3D model. If you feel up for the task let us know what you need :)
Edit: We started a research here. Have a look and help out remotely!‍

3D model & documentation (Remote)

Medium priority

We've built a few structures and setup systems like water and solar. But we are a bit behind with our documentation. We have some 3D models and schematics but we could use some help from someone excited by documentation to wrap it up properly for the community.
‍
Starts: April onwards
Duration: +/- 1 Month
Requirements: Good in CAD
Join our Discord #kamp-chat

Coding community Platform (remote)

always priority:)

We develop our own (open source) software to document our research and build an online community. This will be a crucial part for Project Kamp in the coming years to distrubute knowledge. It's a big project and needs contributers! It's build in React, using Firebase and Typescript. You can read more about the software here and find all the code on Github.
‍
Starts: now
Code: On Github
Chat: On Discord)

Sponsor big development

We have a few big and crucial developments in the pipeline. Things that will require additional funding besides our beloved Patreon. This where we could really use the support of you, your company or organisation. Below a list of the current most important updates. Get in touch
*We also like Crypto ;)

Better camera gear - €1.5K

The update videos are currently filmed with a Canon g7xii in HD. We would like to capture this in 4K for the archive in the future. (Current camera overheats after 3 minutes..We are not a fan) We would like to upgrade our setup and step up our game. Also if you happen to have an unsued gopro? We could use it to make more timelapse videos :)

⭐️ Reward: Shoutout in Update video

Special thanks to: Degennifer + Sandra & Antun

Upgrade our tools - €3K

As the project grows and more people join we also need to upgrade our tools. From batteries, to chainsaws, to screwdrivers, kitchen pans, shovels to camera gear. Donating this would give us the oppertunity to update all our tools at once.

⭐️ Reward: We mention you in video :)

Double our Workspace - €5K

Our workspace is setup in a shipping container. It's great to store our tools safe and do basic work in there. But in order to expand, grow and take on more research we need to double our workspace. From 1 to 2 containers! This donation would allow us to get another container shipped to the land and equip it as a workspace.

⭐️ Reward: We will write your name on the roof so you can see it on google map

Tractor + woodchipper €25K

High priority

We have a big piece of land that needs a lot of work. It needs landscaping to retain water, clean up bruned down trees, chip wood, cut gras and dig pipes and lakes. At the moment everything is done by hand. A tractor would allow us to really work the land and speed up massivly. DOnating this would allow us to get a tractor with accesories like chippers and diggers. (we are also up for donating a second hand tractor)

⭐️ Reward: Thanks in video and we name the tractor after you.

Fund Our first guesthouse - €40K

Project Kamp is not for tourism, its a place to live and work. However we would have visitors dropping by experts, specialist, ecologist etc. We would like to be able to host them so they can share their wisdom with us. (and we share with you in a video) This would be the first comfortable, proper housing structure in Project Kamp. Sorry Vans, we love you but  its not for everyone..
‍
⭐️ Reward: You have the only tourist exception. You can always drop by and stay in the guesthouse :)

Special thanks to: cp287

Renovate big ruin/Community Center- €60K

High priority

We will renovate our big old ruin (seen in our most watched video) in a community center. This will allow us to host and facility many more people and visitors to help. At the moment its a burned down shed and needs a lot of work. We need to renovate it. Make architectural plans, rebuild the structure, add electricity, clear the area round and add solar panels to the roof. Follow the progress here. As a bonus try-out we want to make 1 wall from Precious Plastic :)

⭐️ Reward: We will make an awesome memorial tile for you at the entrance

Ecology + Reforestation - €50K

The entire land was fully burned down in 2017, destroying a big part of the native trees. Now what is growing back is basically 1 species, mimosas. A non native invasive tree that grows fast and takes the sunlight for other plants. This makes it in the long term very hard to create a healthy diverse forest life and will have much higher changes for wild fires again in the future. Forest fires are a big challenge in Portugal but we can help to prevent them. We will work with ecologists to analyse the land, create a landscape plan. For years to come.

⭐️ Reward: Help prevent forest fire, offset your footprint and we name the the forest after you

Upgrade our energy supply- €70K

Currently we are running fully off-grid on our own solar power. (4kw) Its awesome. That said we still need to use a generator for our big machines (3phase). If we want to be really offgrid, run machines, and scale up the community we need to setup ourselves with a better energy infrastructure. In the coming years we will scale up with four times the amount of people but are simply not equipped for it. (we are also up for collaborations)

⭐️ Reward: Named in the video and you can come here anytime to charge your Tesla.

Hook us up to solar - €100K

Running 100% on renewable energy is a long term goal for us. Easy to achieve for a small household, difficult to achieve with 380V machines like welding and a metal lathe. Is requires a big battery pack, solar panels and a backup like hydro/wind energy for the days without sun. It’s mainly a long term goal because it would take us a while before we have the funds. You can speed this up by providing the capital or sponsoring it.

⭐️ Reward: We will mention your name/help/company in our videos
