Camp Kumbati Supertiks

Building a house is easy.
Building a place that belongs to the land is much harder.

When we first envisioned Camp Kumbati Supertiks, we never wanted to simply place a structure on a piece of land. We wanted the land itself to shape the design.

Every decision, from orientation and natural ventilation to water flow, sunlight, prevailing winds, and the surrounding ecosystem, was approached through the lens of permaculture. The house isn't the centerpiece. It is just one element in a much larger living system that includes food forests, native trees, wildlife habitat, water harvesting, and regenerative landscapes.

The Agoho House took over a year to design, not because we were chasing luxury, but because good design takes time. Inspired by the Agoho tree, a Philippine native known for thriving through strong typhoon winds, the house reflects the same values we hope to cultivate here: resilience, simplicity, and harmony with nature.

The drawings may be complete, but that's only one chapter. Like planting a tree, meaningful projects begin long before they become visible. And when the time is right, we'll build, not just a house, but another piece of a regenerative future for Camp Kumbati Supertiks.

"The goal is never to conquer the land. The goal is to become part of it." 🌿

We stopped chasing more... and started chasing this.

Four years ago, we took a leap of faith and began restoring a neglected piece of land. It wasn't always easy.

There were mistakes, losses, and plenty of lessons along the way. But every sunrise, every tree planted, every harvest, and every quiet cup of coffee reminds us why we started.

To us, this is what real wealth looks like, not having more, but having the freedom to slow down, reconnect with nature, and spend time with the people we love. 🌿☕

The Camp VS The Brand

🤔EVER WONDER why Burger and Bones artworks aren't based on trends or what's popular?

- Burger and Bones first began in 2014. But by 2016, that chapter had quietly come to an end.

Five years later, in December 2021, we started Camp Kumbati Supertiks with a goal to restore a piece of undervalued land and learn how to work with nature instead of against it by practicing Permaculture.

At first, the farm was the only journey. But along the way, we realized we needed a way to share what we were learning, a medium to spread our advocacy and the lifestyle that was slowly changing us: Permaculture.

Then everything changed when we asked ourselves:
What if permaculture became the foundation... and Burger and Bones became the voice? What if every artwork could carry the stories, values, and lessons we've learned from the land and the adventure?

That's when Burger and Bones found its true purpose.

As we created the very first enamel mug for the farm, something unexpected happened. It wasn't just the birth of a new artwork, it became the rebirth of Burger and Bones.

The more time we spent planting trees, observing nature, embracing permaculture, added with our vast adventures in the mountains, the more we realized that Burger and Bones did not shape our lifestyle. Our lifestyle shaped Burger and Bones.

That's why our artworks aren't based on trends or what's popular. They tell the stories of the outdoors, our forests, the voice of the animals, Philippine native trees, responsible adventure, slow solutions, chill mornings, and the quiet lessons we've learned from nature.

As an artist, I can't create pieces that I don't genuinely feel nor agree. Every illustration begins with an experience, coffee, tea, muddy boots in the trails, camplife, hiking, running, the ocean and sea, the excitement of planting another tree, the patience of watching seedlings grow, and the hope of seeing life return to the land.

If these past four years have taught us anything, it's this:
A barren landscape can become a thriving ecosystem.
An empty canvas can create small ripples.
Small, consistent actions can create lasting change.
And when we care for nature, it has a way of caring for us too.

That is the purpose behind Burger and Bones.

Through every artwork we create, we hope to inspire more people to live by the same three ethics that guide both our farm and our brand:
🌱 Care for Earth
🤝 Care for People
♻️ Fair Share

Because every great forest and every meaningful journey starts with planting the first seed.

Nature does not hurry...life is not a race.

🌴 OUR FARMING JOURNEY (2021–Present)
- During the pandemic in 2021, we took a leap of faith.
We spent our hard-earned savings on a piece of land. We weren't farmers. We didn't inherit it. We simply believed that if we cared for Earth, one day nature would care for us.

The years that followed brought droughts, floods, grassfires, landslides, pests, and countless lessons.
But we kept planting.
We learned permaculture.
Dwarf coconuts here.
A food forest there.
Native Philippine trees everywhere.

Today, the tiny coconut seedlings we brought home from Davao are rewarding us with their very first harvest.

Looking back, we realized something. Time isn't our enemy. It becomes our greatest ally the moment we plant.
The first harvest wasn't the coconuts, it was greener hills, cooler air, birds returning, and nature slowly coming back to life.

If this journey has taught us one thing, it's this:
Invest in growing food, not just consuming it.
Remember, the best time to plant a tree was years ago. The second best time is today.

You're not harvesting what you took from nature. You're harvesting what you first gave to it. 🌱💚

One last thing...what would your 2030 self thank you for planting today?
