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

Survival Bros Tips for driving in rain:
Turn your lights on
Obey traffic laws
Allow extra time and distance between yourself and other cars
Have good windshield wiper blades and/or Rain-X the front
Take your time (go slower), plus let people in (merge), and people to cross the road
Avoid distractions like filming, texting while driving, and singing to music in your car
Please try NOT to soaking pedestrians with enormous puddles near sidewalks!
Survival Bros vlogs about getting freebies around town by asking. This new HD video was filmed at Country Village in Longview, Washington. You’d be surprised how much free stuff you can acquire by requesting health food samples at local stores in person. I’m a regular customer, so I can get complementary products in trial sizes, without purchasing a single item. Plus, I ask nicely, and am very grateful for the edible endowments. After all, they do call me Cameron Consumption. I’ve got this survival system down to an Art form. Thanks for watching.
Comment on the video on YouTube or below once you have completed this #survivalbros Challenge.
I also tried a marijuana CBD spray inside this Washington State establishment!
I challenge you to carry a water container wherever you go on the daily! You’ll be healthier, and happier. I do this to stay hydrated, and make sure I’m not too over caffeinated.
BONUS CHALLENGE: DRINK 125 OUNCES OF AGUA EACH DAY.
Plus, try adding lemon juice to your beverage to stimulate your metabolism, improve your digestion, and aid in the detoxification process.
Did you know drinking cold water will burn extra calories for you too? It’s true. Just don’t drink a ton of water at once, because you can die from too much liquid intake.
Thanks for supporting the blog! Make the most of today. Take care of yourself, and each other. Peace, love, and big hugs to you.
I invite you to step up to the stump, and gather wood for fuel instead of buying it. Let us know if you have completed this quest in the great outdoors. Good luck! Please SUBSCRIBE for more action, and HD videos on YouTube. Thanks for watching our exclusive content, only seen on #survivalbros

Cam camping at Mt. Hood Village RV Park and Resort in Oregon
In these HD #survivalbros videos I source product, or pick stuff, to potentially resell at a profit. I purchased nearly 27 pounds of Goodwill donations at 99 cents per lb in one day, as seen in the first vlog below. Watch these guides to learn more about picking, aka hustling. I chose a diverse range of merchandise, buying everything from purses to Nintendo Wii video games. I think I scored on my thrifting haul adventure, but you be the judge. SUBSCRIBE TO SURVIVAL BROS ON YOUTUBE HERE to join the conversation. Thanks for watching.

Pro Tips for Shopping at The Goodwill Outlet Bins:
Wear gloves. This way you can toss stuff, and protect your hands from sharp objects…
Weigh your cart several times to see where your at, and to preview what you may spend.
Take a chance on an item or two that you know nothing about. It may prove to be a super find.
This week I got up early and drove the Volkswagen Vanagon out to the legendary Goodwill Outlet near the Portland International Airport, or PDX. I slept nearby, for free, in the Shari’s Resturant parking lot. As a hustler, I knew I had to get to Goodwill before the place opens up at 8 AM. I had my smartphone on me, charged, to scan barcodes, and research items online. I used the eBay, and Amazon applications for quick access to information.
It was a feeding frenzy inside. No time to shoot video when you’re trying to make money. Goodwill charges only $1.67 per pound for most anything, besides CDs, DVDs, and stuff in the display case, as far as I know. At the end, you roll your shopping cart onto a scale, like weighing your vehicle at a garbage dump. You’ll see my thrifting haul in the HD Survival Bros video below. I had to dig threw a bunch of trash to find anything acceptable for potential reselling, and keeping. You will get your hands dirty. Try to avoid piss blankets, and scan everything with your eyes to make less work for yourself. My strategies netted me a Phillips Norelco electric razor, Wii video game, Levis flannel shirt, wall charger, scarf, two GPS units by Garmin and Magellen, fanny back for ultralight backpacking, and a Nike Max Air backpack. I think I did excellent considering I spent just $7.44.
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. 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.In 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.
Learn about getting food and supplement samples from your local shops at NO COST. I visit health food stores such as GNC, and ask the cashier for freebies, or take items from their basket of product trials. These individual servings will be stored properly in Ziploc bags, and placed in various emergency preparedness kits, plus my Everyday Carry backpack. I have saved tons of money using this method of urban scavenging. You can make your own freebie haul like this with little effort.
