Soak in the healing waters, and try the different natural cascading pools at Cougar Hot Spring in the Willamette National Forest. It’s $7 per person for a day pass, and you can’t be there after dark. Share this HD 60fps video shot with GoPro Hero7 Black camera for Survival Bros.  Filmed after this recreational area was closed for a year due to fire damage.  Located in Oregon, near the McKenzie River.  See you there!

Survival Bros tours a disgusting Ford cargo van worth fixing up. Look inside this old vehicle, and comment. Can you believe there’s a rocking horse inside?  We didn’t know, because we didn’t look inside before purchasing this ride.  There’s no glamorizing #vanlife on our YouTube Channel.  Some like it real!  Keep supporting your brothers.

Ford E-150 Cargo Van

Filmed by Cameron McKirdy in Oregon, USA

Showing you gear I used to endure a cold night in Oregon. I forgot my sleeping bag at a friend’s house, so I had to get by with only an emergency, and wool blanket. It was close to 40 degrees outside in the morning when I started the van. I got up by 5 AM, to get my vehicle ready for the road again. You don’t want all of your boxes and tubs dumping over on corners. The struggle is real on Survival Bros.

Cam’s Preparedness Advice: Make sure you have a barrier or two between you and the ground (or metal auto floor). Then wrap up in layers, with an emergency mylar blanket around yourself! Thanks for the invention Astronauts. Also, huddle up with a friend if you can overnight, and keep moving if you get really cold. Well, I survived to fight more today…Next stop, free coffee in town! #urban #scavenging

This past summer I was hindered from hiking and exercising due to a broken toe. It hurt to put weight on my right foot for months! The injury was a major bummer. It through off my body alignment, and took time and energy to heal. In this video you’ll see Survival Bros pour Instant Hand Sanitizer on the open wound. We had just cut it open, and drained the fluid. The female passenger was ruthless squeezing out the puss…Drip, drip, chunk. Luckily a new friend camping at a site near us donated some weed to the cause. I puffed Blueberry Cookies, and toughed the medical procedure out. My toe tingles just thinking about this odd experience. Remind me not to pitch my tent on rocks again. I slept on my belly, and kicked the ground as hard as possible. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

Dear Journal,

Ahhhh….I’m resting in the Mustang.  I drove all Summer.  Circling the Pacific Northwest.  Treasure hunting.  Of course I found some.  Here’s my Summer recap and news update.

My home State of Oregon has been burning.  Roads closed, blocked off by Federal Forest Patrol.  Ash fallen.  Simultaneously, the solar eclipse brought cold, darkness, and silence.  It looked like the end of the world here.  Plus, The Authorities of Everything decided to ban fire.  So creating light, warmth, drinkable water, and cooking food is prohibited.  Camp on their terms.  Others really do know what’s best for me…On top of natural disasters, and galactic phenomenon, economic collapse is underway, with Bitcoin and crytocurrency prices skyrocketing.  Trust in traditional markets and pundits eroding.  And Hollywood is dying, being sold to Chinese companies.  Tinseltown Has Fallen

Meanwhile, The Internet, aka Google, continues to censor real information in live time, and hack Patriots.  For example: YouTube has been deleting comments, views, and likes from my videos.  Subscribe to Survival Bros while you still can.  Also, my laptop was being hacked mid upload while posting a video about the blatant censorship of real news.  I had to sell my computer thanks to Google trolls.  Now I switch devices monthly.  More precaucions against Big Brother will be taken.  This is an informaion war.  Are you in it?  Don’t say you do not have anything to hide.  This is a freedom and privacy issue.  Don’t stand by, fight for your rights so humanity has some in the future.  Another tactic Google uses is to bury New Media, so truth doesn’t appear in their curated trending section, and won’t be placed in the biased “News Carousel” either.  Or “Gulag”, I mean Google, will put videos in “restricted mode” or private so it’s not monetized, and difficult to find and watch.  You have to pay to play.  You’re being censored, and managed too!  Aware?  Twitter and Facebook are guilty as well.  It’s almost time to stop using these social media platforms in exchange for decentralized applications that promote free speech, your fundamental human right.

FACT: The Survival Bros Twitter account was attacked by The Russians.  Twitter emailed me about the login attempt…Maybe they want Uranium.  I don’t have any! And I don’t know of anybody with the stuff either.  Quit asking. #Russia

So what else have I, Cam The Cuddler been busy doing?  Soo much.  I worked off the rent balance for my storage units by helping the manager paint rotten boards, and cleaning gutters.  It didn’t take more that two hours to earn a few hundred bucks of credit, but something terrible happened in the process.  White paint drifted, and dotted my black car.  It wasn’t far away, and the guy with the paint sprayer gun didn’t get close enough to the surface of the wood.  Now I get to buff out the 1999 Survival Bros Mustang.  Speaking of Bettie, she’s running on a spare donut tire.  And I was trying not to attract cops.  I need a full set of tires, which will cost me around $400!  Plus, the front breaks are squealing, and a belt sqeeking.  Time to hustle.  U

Bummers like this maintenance bill can sting, so travelers must boost moral.  Adventure music helps uplift the spirit.  I bought a Back to The Future cassette for the Ford.  I got it at a garage sale for 25 cents.  Movie soundtracks are a blast driving to!  Of course I like meeting buddies, catching up, and playing games with them.  Poker anyone?  Another: Cop Trainer 2, is a classic video game shooter that keeps me sharp.  Blasting killer robots is a realistic and stimulating simulation at the arcade.

Scoring free samples around town is also amusing.  I hit Costco, hotels for free coffee, and gift shops along the coast to try cheeses, dips, and sauces, (not to mention beer and wine tastings).  Dipping complimentary pretzels gets stale, but once I did try a Grimm Reaper jelly with a date.  She couldn’t handle the heat!!!  We ran to a Gelato store where she demanded free samples.  Four little spoons later, life goes on for gypsies.

I’m riding solo once again.  No girlfriends.  No dog.   Just my racing mind, in a fast car; trying to stay grounded.  I’ve been doing a good job taking care of myself.  I needed alone time after this last relationship.  My company now is mainly comedians on podcasts I download.  However, I visit grandma frequently at a home, and tell the captive captivated old farts my adventures.  Nobody knows how I do it.  Living with little money, and no place to call Home.  I just make it happen, and continue to raise my RPMs.  Granny and I watched Mr. Bean.  She stockpiles extra mandarin oranges in her room from dinner.

Shoutout: I’m so grateful to my fans.  Almost daily now, people write me and tell me they saw me on VICELAND’s Abandonded episode 5 “Nuclear Waste”.  I love hearing about the impact I’ve had on their life.  Many were inspired to travel, or try the #vanlife out.  Others kindly shared that they made a survival kit because they saw me do it.  Go, and prep my friends.  I love you all.  Keep me in your hearts, and on your browser.  I have so much to share.  I’d like to hear from you directly.  Email me here: camthecuddler@gmail.com  I don’t use a phone anymore.  I’m sure I’ve missed texts from friends.  But I’m here to find.  Hugs.

Fake News Challenges Cam The Cuddler:

I recently drove my Mustang to Portland, Oregon to demonstrate my survival tactics to a “reporter” and photographer with Willamette Week.  It’s a tabloid, and I shouldn’t have trusted them to get my story correct.  The nameless reporter didn’t use a voice recorder, and managed to misquote me.  The entire article is snarky, and designed to discredit me. Instead, YouTube views are going through the roof!  

Here’s the “story,” from wweek.com.  I did NOT say the line about killing.  I was saying that there may be violence in the streets a few days after supplies run out, and it got twisted into, “there will be killing for five days.”  That makes no sense.  It was careless reporting, intentionally.  They should give back their Pulitzer prize they won so long ago.  Reporters better watch how they handle me.  Good luck getting an interview now.  You better have some credibility, and be a positive person if you’re gonna approach me for a story.

Watch the latest thrifting haul score below.  This could be my most profitable purchase ever:

I quit my job.  I’ve been working at a GNC, but it’s an unhealthy work environment.  The florescent lighting was unbearably bright and annoying.  The frequency is harmful.  Plus, I was surrounded by a Wi-Fi signal, that I’m sensitive to.  All of us should be aware of our surroundings, and be in an environment that is as natural as possible. 

Once the weather got nice, and the Sun came out, the customers stopped coming in.  They were getting Vitamin D, and fresh air like I should be doing.  So that bothered me.  I don’t want to develop varicose veins from standing or sitting too much either.  Be careful with that my friends.  They sure do recall a bunch of products too!

I’m now selling caches.  Maybe you’ve seen me on VICELAND’s Abandoned Ep. 5 “Nuclear Waste” with skater Rick McCrank.  If you want me to build one for you, just send $75 to me on PayPal here.  You’ll get tons of cool items, and lots of value.  I will include treasure from my adventures, such as amazing thrift store finds and practical everyday items.   Look out for a video about a mystery cache soon.  Here’s a practical cache I put together recently:

The struggle is real.  On a recent road trip to Terwilliger aka Cougar hot spring East of Eugene, I hit a pot hole in the dark and cracked my oil pan.  I have a 1999 Mustang, with a severe leak, so I’m not driving right now.  I’m back on foot patrol, and catching buses, as my survival mountain bike was recently stolen also.  Pray that I can travel again soon, and get it fixed properly on the cheap.  A mechanic wants $650 to do the job, but I have a buddy in mind to help for way less cash.  It may take 6 hours of labor, as the engine needs to be lifted and cradled.  At least this doesn’t appear to be the end of my ride on the black stallion.

cam-hugs-rickCam with Rick McCrank – host of VICELAND’S Abandoned in Astoria, Oregon

Oregonian Cameron McKirdy appears on VICELAND’s “Abandoned.”  It’s a new travel documentary type show featuring deserted places.  I guided the VICE TV crew around our area, and shared my story.  Producers from British Columbia, Canada filmed the host, Professional Skateboarder Rick McCrank and I discussing preparations for a nuclear disaster, and a tsunami.  VICE and I took my Volkswagon van for a ride along the ocean in Long Beach, Washington looking for shelter, plus debris from the 2011 Japanese tsunami.  Over two days we built emergency preparedness kits with ammo boxes to bury in the ground along escape routes, like I have shown on my YouTube Channel called Survival Bros.  We scavenged free health food samples from A Gypsy’s Whimsy, and purchased essential gear items to cache at more stores located in Astoria and Seaside, OR.  The #survival kit I helped McCrank build should help him endure a disaster if he keeps it close by.  I always have my emergency Go-Bag with me.

ON AIR you should see me (Cam The Cuddler) hugging people and chatting about my life as a certified professional cuddler.  Check out his CuddleLife Blog for more information and to read my FAQs.  I offer a platonic touch service, and I’m open to trades and donations.  Typically I get one dollar per minute to care for people.  I believe cuddling is therapeutic, and a fun and safe way to get the positive human touch we all need to survive.
