Survival Bros pulls over to look at an Outdoor Community Food Panty! Have you seen one of these pantries in your neighborhood? If not, maybe you should make one for less fortunate people. It is the season for giving. So be creative, and generous during the Holidays. Like our video on YouTube for us, comment, and share this blog post with your friends. Thanks for being here.

I also love this idea. Don’t you? Build one in your community to help people eat. https://littlefreelibrary.org/

Watch a Survival Bros score a Free Lunch at Costco.  I joked with the CDS Demonstrators as I took my portions.  It was only a 14-Course meal this time.  We missed a few vendors because they ran out of goods, or were cleaning up at the end of the day.  Have you taken this many samples in the store?  SB didn’t need pizza at The Deli after this challenging record attempt.  Which way to the bathroom?  Survival Bros got gas in bulk.  Filmed the day before the Super Bowl in Warrenton, Oregon.  Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more crazy videos.  Thanks for watching!

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.

Hello Friends,

In this Survival Bros vlog I visit a gym to use a free trial membership.  Really, I just wanted to use the sauna and shower at no cost.  I encourage you to ask more, and see what you can get in life.

Using an infrared sauna will get rid of toxins, open pores, and relax tense muscles.  It was hot as Vegas, but I loved IT.  I lasted 25 minutes.  No idea what the temperature was!  After this I drove my new Mustang to Portland to hustle at pawn shops and thrift stores.  I forget what I found…but I’ll find it again.  ha 

Best Wishes from Oregon,

DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO SURVIVAL BROS ON YOUTUBE HERE!!!

In this HD video, I show you how to get free food samples at any Safeway Grocery Store simply by asking.  First stop; The Bakery.  I scored a chocolate chip cookie, and a rich brownie with fudge frosting by using little effort.  Getting this freebie was child’s play, but the complementary grub isn’t available only for the kids, as you may have thought.  I use this method on most of my visits to large retailers.  The bakers told me they give out 10-15 trays of 45 count cookies daily.  So claim your grub, and don’t let free calories go uneaten.  Also of note, The Bakery is on my way from the back of the grocery store, where I check the half off sale items anyways. 

Free samples and bargains can be had, even at the most expensive Safeway in America, located in my hometown of Seaside, Oregon.  I do this wild stuff to offset the cost of my calorie intake, and for my own sick amusement.  I want to get the maximum out of any given situation, like I did in this social experiment.  The employees are typically really generous, and don’t mind my request.  
Free Cookie Samples Safeway
A friend and I once got three types of no cost cookies for each person asking.  So we enjoyed a variety of desserts for free to enjoy while filling my cart.  Share your comments below on urban scavenging.Beef Sample at Safeway DeliIn this photo I show off my huge haul of three roast beef pieces after politely requesting to try some red meat at the deli counter.   This was enough flesh for a hearty sandwich, but I ate it in store, and even shared some with another shopper!  Push the limit, and ask to sample each and every appetizing food type behind the glass.  It’s the education you need to become a smarter shopper.

I spent the weekend on the Oregon Coast in Seaside, and had spare time to experiment with a new Art project.  First, I dug through a recycling bin for cardboard to create a small handmade sign with a permanent pen.  Then I rounded up some fun objects I didn’t need anymore, like a Smokey The Bear keychain whistle.  These goods would be available to begin the open bartering.  I spread out a towel, and placed the trinkets on The Prom’s concrete path.

With little effort, and few resources, a self-serve system was born.  A take one, leave one blanket is a place where an item of any kind can freely be exchanged as you see fit.  Share this concept with people in your town.  You wouldn’t believe the response.  Nearly every biker, and pedestrian stopped their forward progress to figure out what was going on.  This open trading system seemed to inspire, confuse, and even make some people greedy.  

I may have seen people taking without giving, thinking nobody was looking, but I’m not sure.  Others had no issue taking nice items, like a Tree of Life necklace pendant, and replacing it with trash.  I found the blanket riddled with wrappers, cardboard scraps, and even half of a marijuana cigarette.  Take a close look at the pictures, and you’ll see other small stuff, like a paperclip, pocket change, flower, price tag sticker, and a pile of sand from the beach.

I discretely checked back every few hours for a day, and saw some of the action in person.  People generously placed beautiful possessions with little hesitation.  There were cool things left behind that I didn’t get a picture of, because I didn’t want to interrupt the process.  My favorite moment was when a 12-year old girl named Krystin Crawford set down her hand painted sand dollars.  She took a braided piece of grasses someone constructed.  The girl enjoyed sharing the Art she made, and getting involved.  See her craftsmanship below.  The found, and re-purposed shells were adorable.  Krystin and her mom came back to the free exchange place the following morning with a positive attitude.  Everything had changed.  This artist endeavour has restored my faith in humanity once and for all, despite some shady, but acceptable transactions by others.

In conclusion, I will try this social experiment again.  I was thrilled to see this interactive art piece evolve rapidly.  I saw joy on many of the participants faces.  This free trading system can be implemented anywhere, at anytime.  Let’s spread the concept, and see the random generousity of others displayed in public.  And remember, you’ll usually get more than you give.  Leave a comment, or question if you like.  Thanks for visiting Survival Bros.

Survival Bros gets 26 different free samples in his local Costco shopping center on HD video.  This total number doesn’t reflect when Cam swooped up multiple trial bites of the same item.  You’re allowed to take more than one, as long as it’s on the tray.  All of this complementary grub made a full meal, but he is still hungry.  Cam didn’t even purchase any stuff, and doesn’t have a Costco membership card.  Get access with a Costco Gift Card, then sample up, or buy an inexpensive meal at the food court deli.  

Try going at the end of the day for extra samples.  They are trying to get rid of the products before closing time.  What’s your favorite line from this production?  Leave a comment.  You can also subscribe at the top left to get free articles delivered to your email inbox.  Survival Bros doesn’t Spam, but we do store it just in case.  Mmmmm.  More crazy adventures coming on this blog.  Cheers.
