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

Cameron McKirdy produced a new #EDC or Everyday Carry video update! Check out the latest gear Survival Bros uses to stay safe, and be prepared for emergency situations. Many products have multiple uses. For example, you could use the headphone wires as cordage to keep something together. HD video filmed with the new GoPro Hero7 Black camera. It’s just OK. The lens fogged up from the body heat coming off of my hand. I thought this video was ruined, but I’m happy with the post. Making YouTube videos is tough, but rewarding.

Like trading for stuff without using money? Would you like to get rid of some extra junk? Put a “Take One, Leave One” blanket in a public area like I did. Watch the new HD #survivalbros video, then read more about this fun Art project below.
This project was a success! Hundreds of people stopped, and contributed to “The Art Show”. I call it a free trading platform, or an exchange, which I facilitated, and curated. It encouraged beachcombers to give, and consider the value of their trading item. Sure some people took and didn’t leave, or left and didn’t take. A few kids picked up fond objects like pieces of shells, or rocks, and got the toy they wanted. The children would not be denied, and many made multiple trades, which I found amusing.
For the most part, I stayed out of it, and watched the developments from a nearby bench. I straightened it up a few times, and threw away trash. I will say it’s annoying when people leave their business card, and take a cool item, but I didn’t intervene. The Take One, Leave One project had a life of it’s own…
The sweetest moment happened when a kid traded his football for earrings, and quickly gave them to his mother. No hesitation. Then he grabbed a stuffed animal, and got a toy for himself. All in a matter of 30 seconds! Ha. The children making multiple trades cracked me up. They saw no limits to the possible trades. However, some parents wouldn’t even take time to explain this concept, or stop to let their kids even look at the show on the Promenade. They said things like, “I will get you a new toy from the store instead.” Fine. Buy everything then, ya Trendy.
This concept blew minds. People had never seen this before. It got people thinking, which is good. Proving, small ideas in tiny spaces can leave a big, and unexpected impact. However, I have set this up before in a busy area: read Part One HERE!!!

Bug Out Bag and Bicycle – Winter Camping Gear Setup
Dear Survival Journal,
I got a way late start. Was also considering busing to the warming center in Astoria, OR. That’s smart.
Hiking 7 miles ain’t. But I was determined to bog through the uphill swamp: half in the dark. I got turned around at one point where trees fell over the path. I also slipped once, but rehearsed in my head what to do. I threw my 1 gallon water jug, and braced myself. Yup, I carried a heavy water container from Ave. U to The Hiker Cabins on Tillamook Head. My shoulders and arms are torn up. My 110 liter Kelty backpack had to be 70 pounds.
Plus, I was running on a bum sprained ankle…wore a too tight brace…My left shoulder hurt the most. It was so tight. But I had an indica BHO cartridge in my vape pen to finish off. It was charging in my bag on the hike with a portable power bank charger. I brought too much stuff. Like 6 pairs of socks, an umbrella, a dud smoke grenade, and a giant tarp. It’s 11am – dark at 4:25pm. So cold. My hands are numb.

Survival Bros Founder Cam and blogger Kelvin cover essential gear stored in the trunk of a reliable vehicle in case of a disaster. We both live on the Oregon Coast, and are actively preparing for a tsunami to wipe out our hometown of Seaside, #OR What do you think this American #prepper has left out? My YouTube subscribers think he needs more water, a BB gun, and a big fixed blade knife for extra protection. However, I can tell you, this guy has dug his own well on his family’s property. So, he meets the one gallon per day, per person quota. Kelvin also has another backup vehicle that is expertly maintained, and fast – a Dodge Stealth.
Share this video with other preppers, like, comment, and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube. Thanks.
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.

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.
