Survival Bros eats fresh slices of smoked fish on the Oregon Coast. Bell Buoy is one of our favorite places to dine, and support. Stop by their store when you’re in Seaside, OR. They can and smoke on site, right off of Highway 101. I bet I could eat pounds of this meat easy. It’s the perfect food for building muscle. I like to take a bag of salmon jerky hiking, but unless you have a cooler, it has to be consumed within a few hours of purchasing. Have you tried seafood like this? Listen to the locals when you’re on vacation. They know what’s best. Please subscribe on YouTube for more adventures. Thanks.

Here’s another sweet Goodwill find I scored this week, and show you on video. It’s a rare Valterra skateboard from 1986! It shreds.
I found this road bike at Goodwill too, and now it’s a Bug Out Bike ready in case of emergencies. I got new tires for it, and purchased a BOB Yak trailer to haul gear down the road with ease.
Don’t forget to donate stuff you don’t need to charity. I’ve seen Goodwill do good things in the community, and employee people that need assistance. You’ll get a tax credit too just for being so kind. Thanks for reading, and doing your part. Peace from Survival Bros.
Good luck treasure hunting at Goodwill and beyond! Expect epic finds.

Survival Bros is at the beach in Seaside, Oregon testing two Naimakka paracord bands made in Sweden. Each luxurious design features ultra-high grade military standardType III paracord. The special edition Skydivers bracelet in camo green 483 includes an all brass clasp. I can’t wait to rough it up more, and see how the patina develops on the surface. The other bracelet is charcoal, or stealth grey and has a secure screw closure. Both Naimakka products unravel to about 8 feet of cordage, so you’ll have plenty of material to work with during an emergency situation. It feels good to have extra cord on hand. You can use it to build shelter, make knots, or even floss your teeth with the inner strands. And we know you don’t floss everyday! If you’re looking for the a dependable, and gorgeous paracord bracelet then visit http://www.naimakka.com to get your own gear. They ship worldwide for $5. Plus, it will attract attention, and you can strike up a conversation with other preppers. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

I need coffee, and I need it now. I’m addicted to Joe, so when the portable GSI Outdoors Commuter Java Press walked into my life, I didn’t let go. This lightwight, modern french press must have taken years to develop, because it’s awesome. Survival Bros loves everything about it, plus it makes loose leaf. Some of the product feature highlights include it being BPA-free, grippy, insulated, and having a non-slip foot. All this combines for an easy to use, practical, and tactical coffee maker. The GSI Java Press costs only $22.95. So at that price why not steal one from them? There’s nothing negative to say about this product. It’s been Survival Bros tested, and came out on top. Visit http://www.gsioutdoors.com for all the information on this piece of gear. Please comment if you want.
Use the GSI Outdoors Commuter Java Press for hot, fresh coffee!
In this HD video I show you my new Dr. Scholl’s Pain Relief Orthotics. I’ve been testing them for about three weeks, and they have scored off the chart in overall quality. This type is made just for men, and they fit size 8-12 shoes. I cut them down to size, threw them in my sneakers, and went to work. I was standing on concrete for 10 hours a day, and before I bought these inserts my feet were absolutely killing me. I had intense heel pain, and cramping throughout my entire foot. I couldn’t take a break, so I had to try something.
First I purchased a pair of flat, massaging gel inserts. They sucked. I still had heel pain. I took the off-brand cushioners out of my kicks to return, but they left a strange indentation on my insoles, so I’m going to keep them in those dress shoes for good. Then I stepped it up, and spent a few more dollars on the Dr. Scholl’s. I’ve never owned a pair of arch supports that weren’t custom to my flat feet, so I was skeptical. However, like I said in the video, they worked to relieve my pain immediately, and I forgot all about my discomfort. I’ve been using these ever since, and I had to recommend them to everyone that follows the Survival Bros blog. Please comment if you have purchased these orthotics, or something like it.
