Emergency #Vanlife Bed Setup – No Sleeping Bag!

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

Cam 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.

Screenshot from the video. My RPM gauge is the only instrument that works in the VW Vanagon! I can’t figure out how to reset the clock either. Plus, the odometer and speedometer are broken, so I go the the GPS unit for more information on my drive sometimes. The van needs some love. My heater fan went out last summer, but will require taking off the dash.

Survival Bros asks for free food samples at Natural Grocers in Eugene, Oregon while on a roadtrip. I scored four packets of organic plant based protein drinks, and Non-GMO oatmeal. Check out the freebie haul. Get free calories for yourself by asking to try things at every store you go to. It’s not begging. The shops either have product to get rid of for promotional use, or not. All of the products seen in this new Vlog are NOT FOR RESALE! If scavengers like me do not request the trials, they could go home with a hungry employee, or even worse…EXPIRE! Nothing is worse than wasting a calorie.
More fun videos coming. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE on YouTube, or by email on the blog here. Watch our other adventures on the HD video page! Comments are appreciated. Visit #survivalbros again soon.

Would YOU Pee in a Plastic Bottle? Be honest!

Cameron McKirdy was here.
Survival Bros finds a used plastic water bottle full of urine in a Safeway parking lot. Have you guys gone to the bathroom this way? I’ve never thrown a refilled container out of my vehicle onto the highway. That’s just wrong. And littering will cost you. Peeing on trees is much more fun. Hug them before you go potty.
Litter weighing five pounds or less is a class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine up to $500. If between five and 500 pounds, class B misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500, imprisonment up to 30 days, or both.
FACT: It takes 450 years for a plastic bottle to decompose.
