Love and kindness are the very basis of society. If we lose these feelings, society will face tremendous difficulties; the survival of humanity will be endangered. - Dalai Lama
I get a kick out of being an outsider constantly. It allows me to be creative. - Bill Hicks
The status quo sucks. - George Carlin

I have an empty seat in my van. Maybe you can help me fill the position. Think you have what it takes to #survive vanlife? Here’s a few of my requirements for the role of superstar gypsy. Comment if there should be other tasks.
1. Must keep it (van) oiled. However, I may need sunscreen applied to my body as well to protect from harmful UV radiation.
2. Have to be on lookout for nude sunbathing locations. Obviously.
3. Should be generous…ready to give what you can to people and animals in need. We will be hugging trees too here in Oregon.
4. Light Navigation. Don’t disract me. Know your right from left?
5. Needs to be able to spot garage sales on weekends. I get first dibs on manly stuff.
Bonus if you’re athletic, have a driver’s license, and smell wonderful most of the time. Inexperience not required, but preferred. This adds to sense of adventure I think, as we try new things.
To apply to become a traveller, email me about yourself with a picture. In all honesty, I would like to meet a healthy girl to love on. I live a fun and wild life, and I’d like to share the journey with a nugget. Hit on me, or just send a nice note of platonic encouragement. thesurvivalbros@gmail.com

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.

It’s been a wild ride these past few years. If you’ve been following my HD videos, I was #vandwelling for 2.5 years in my Volkswagen Vanagon. I put many miles on her, riding the nugget from hot spring to couches, and cabins. It’s a lifestyle I would go back to, but my survival situation has changed.
I bought a new van! And it broke down. Costing me a fortune. Then I was on foot, and in a tent. Winter hit. I had challenges, and the weather was nasty. It was the worst I’ve ever seen it in the #PNW Now I have a place to stay, a fast car, a part-time job, and an office to make more videos and #Art. I am very #blessed and grateful.
So here we are. Standing strong in the chaos. Better prepared.
What do I want to do next? Stay tuned.

Watch and learn how to get a free home, vehicle, or abandoned trailer like this one I found. It was left on a back road in Oregon. If someone doesn’t claim it by the posted time on the public notice, then it will be towed and impounded. To get a free house, etc. just call the Sheriff and tell the police it’s yours now, and you will be taking responsibility of ownership.
I could put this on a friend’s property, or pay only $35 per month to store it locally. Decisions…Decisions…and here I am blogging about it.
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

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.
