Containers on a truck with a forklift
Jul 10, 2025

Containers arrived in Portugal

Remember the containers we made earlier this summer?

We spent the last month to figure out how to get them to Portugal during the second wave of covid in Europe. After a long search, we found a sketchy company willing to do the job for us.

Once ready, it took us 10mins to load the containers in the Netherlands. They came over the highway on a solid clean truck. The unloading went a bit different. Took 3 hours. The crane wasn’t strong enough, so they used two small forklifts. Carrying a 5000KG box on slippery muddy soil. Scary minutes.

Next, we need to drive them on Project Kamp land with a small local truck. Almost there :)
