Cam with Rick McCrank – host of VICELAND’S Abandoned in Astoria, Oregon
Coming to a screen near you on Friday 10/7/2016 at 8PM, 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 CuddleLife.com 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.

Cam here. Thanks for visiting my emergency preparedness blog. We are pumping out a bunch of new videos this month, so I hope you like watching them. Please share this quick informational production with friends. Here’s the short link to copy and paste: https://youtu.be/7O-KCu_Jqf4 This is important and fun stuff for preppers of all skill levels.
We threw this kit together with gear items on hand that were laying around unused and therefore extra. We have the basic survival necessities covered for the most part, but improvements can always be made. I did notice there wasn’t an emergency blanket in this canister, and they can be purchased for $2. However, if there’s a tsunami wave on the Oregon Coast, I like my odds of living. I have kits like this one gallon cache, plus backpacks loaded with necessities, and bikes with racks placed strategically all over the Pacific Northwest.
What’s your plan for safe escape from danger? Stay healthy out there. And keep your head on a swivel. Few things are more valuable that situational awareness. Cheers.

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.
