Dear Journal,
Ahhhh….I’m resting in the Mustang. I drove all Summer. Circling the Pacific Northwest. Treasure hunting. Of course I found some. Here’s my Summer recap and news update.
My home State of Oregon has been burning. Roads closed, blocked off by Federal Forest Patrol. Ash fallen. Simultaneously, the solar eclipse brought cold, darkness, and silence. It looked like the end of the world here. Plus, The Authorities of Everything decided to ban fire. So creating light, warmth, drinkable water, and cooking food is prohibited. Camp on their terms. Others really do know what’s best for me…On top of natural disasters, and galactic phenomenon, economic collapse is underway, with Bitcoin and crytocurrency prices skyrocketing. Trust in traditional markets and pundits eroding. And Hollywood is dying, being sold to Chinese companies. Tinseltown Has Fallen
Meanwhile, The Internet, aka Google, continues to censor real information in live time, and hack Patriots. For example: YouTube has been deleting comments, views, and likes from my videos. Subscribe to Survival Bros while you still can. Also, my laptop was being hacked mid upload while posting a video about the blatant censorship of real news. I had to sell my computer thanks to Google trolls. Now I switch devices monthly. More precaucions against Big Brother will be taken. This is an informaion war. Are you in it? Don’t say you do not have anything to hide. This is a freedom and privacy issue. Don’t stand by, fight for your rights so humanity has some in the future. Another tactic Google uses is to bury New Media, so truth doesn’t appear in their curated trending section, and won’t be placed in the biased “News Carousel” either. Or “Gulag”, I mean Google, will put videos in “restricted mode” or private so it’s not monetized, and difficult to find and watch. You have to pay to play. You’re being censored, and managed too! Aware? Twitter and Facebook are guilty as well. It’s almost time to stop using these social media platforms in exchange for decentralized applications that promote free speech, your fundamental human right.
FACT: The Survival Bros Twitter account was attacked by The Russians. Twitter emailed me about the login attempt…Maybe they want Uranium. I don’t have any! And I don’t know of anybody with the stuff either. Quit asking. #Russia
So what else have I, Cam The Cuddler been busy doing? Soo much. I worked off the rent balance for my storage units by helping the manager paint rotten boards, and cleaning gutters. It didn’t take more that two hours to earn a few hundred bucks of credit, but something terrible happened in the process. White paint drifted, and dotted my black car. It wasn’t far away, and the guy with the paint sprayer gun didn’t get close enough to the surface of the wood. Now I get to buff out the 1999 Survival Bros Mustang. Speaking of Bettie, she’s running on a spare donut tire. And I was trying not to attract cops. I need a full set of tires, which will cost me around $400! Plus, the front breaks are squealing, and a belt sqeeking. Time to hustle. U
Bummers like this maintenance bill can sting, so travelers must boost moral. Adventure music helps uplift the spirit. I bought a Back to The Future cassette for the Ford. I got it at a garage sale for 25 cents. Movie soundtracks are a blast driving to! Of course I like meeting buddies, catching up, and playing games with them. Poker anyone? Another: Cop Trainer 2, is a classic video game shooter that keeps me sharp. Blasting killer robots is a realistic and stimulating simulation at the arcade.
Scoring free samples around town is also amusing. I hit Costco, hotels for free coffee, and gift shops along the coast to try cheeses, dips, and sauces, (not to mention beer and wine tastings). Dipping complimentary pretzels gets stale, but once I did try a Grimm Reaper jelly with a date. She couldn’t handle the heat!!! We ran to a Gelato store where she demanded free samples. Four little spoons later, life goes on for gypsies.
I’m riding solo once again. No girlfriends. No dog. Just my racing mind, in a fast car; trying to stay grounded. I’ve been doing a good job taking care of myself. I needed alone time after this last relationship. My company now is mainly comedians on podcasts I download. However, I visit grandma frequently at a home, and tell the captive captivated old farts my adventures. Nobody knows how I do it. Living with little money, and no place to call Home. I just make it happen, and continue to raise my RPMs. Granny and I watched Mr. Bean. She stockpiles extra mandarin oranges in her room from dinner.
Shoutout: I’m so grateful to my fans. Almost daily now, people write me and tell me they saw me on VICELAND’s Abandonded episode 5 “Nuclear Waste”. I love hearing about the impact I’ve had on their life. Many were inspired to travel, or try the #vanlife out. Others kindly shared that they made a survival kit because they saw me do it. Go, and prep my friends. I love you all. Keep me in your hearts, and on your browser. I have so much to share. I’d like to hear from you directly. Email me here: camthecuddler@gmail.com I don’t use a phone anymore. I’m sure I’ve missed texts from friends. But I’m here to find. Hugs.

Survival Bros followers know I’ve been on the road all summer in my 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon GL. It’s ran strong for months straight. I will do a big summer review blog soon, but here’s a van update shot recently on my travels around the Pacific Northwest. Scope out the rest area known as Dismal Nitch. This Washington State Park is a historic location, because The Lewis and Clark Expedition ran into trouble here, and were pinned against the rocks for six grueling days. Harsh winds, and brutal rain pounded The Corps. of Discovery along the mighty Columbia River over 200 years ago.
My overnight stay was much more pleasurable. I was sheltered in my VW bus, protected from the elements. I took advantage of the facilities by dumping my trash, washing my hands and teeth, and cooking on a covered picnic table in grass. Dismal Nitch in WA also features a trail, informative maps, plus plaques about Lewis and Clark. As mentioned in my HD video, you can stay parked for up to 8 hours, but overnight camping, and tenting are not allowed. So keep a low profile, and pick up after yourself. This is an excellent destination for car campers, and travelers on a budget, or just wanting to get away from the static of the city.
I’ve spent the night in my vehicle here maybe six times this summer, and each trip has been a positive experience, and memorable. So it’s Survival Bros tested, and approved. Visit, because it’s probably the only rest area you’ll ever want to take a picture at. Snap a selfie, and post it on Facebook, because I also got great cell phone reception out there. The view of Astoria, and the bountiful river is astonishing, and extremely relaxing. The only cons are lots of lighting in the parking lot, possibly affecting sleepers negatively. The road noise is also noticeable, but luckily the highway is not heavily used. Thanks for supporting my blog! Feel free to comment, like, and share on social networks. Peace and love from the road less traveled.

Recently I camped in a Walmart parking lot on West 11th in Eugene, Oregon. In this HD video you’ll get the scoop on what it’s like to do some urban stealth camping in my 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon GL. It was noisy, and the space is well lit, but in general, I got great rest. It feels good to be somewhere, and not have to pay for the experience. This was a fun experiment, and I’d recommend it to any Survival Bros. out there. Staying at Walmart for free beats dropping hundreds for a night in a hotel. Would you try this? Live simple my friends. More videos about my summer road trip coming soon. Thanks for visiting my blog! Peace and love.

Horns are hot in PDX right now! That’s what I heard from a friend, so when I saw a pair at a pawn shop in my hood, I snagged them. This post is about trading for goodies, and trying to hustle at clothing resale shops in Portland, OR.
First, let me tell you about these horns. I wanted them, so I tried to find something I didn’t want, of some value, to swap at the pawn shop. I traded a motorcycle jacket, iPod shuffle, and $20 for the pointy pair. Once acquired, I drove to Portlandia to make a deal. My homie had athletic shorts for me, and desperately wanted a set of horns to accent her fashionable pad. She loved them, mounting them on her wall above the couch. I bet they stay there collecting dust until she can find something better to trade for. That’s her business. I was pumped on the gear I got, and am wearing as I blog now. It was a fun, and solid trade for all.
I also mobbed to a few clothing resale shops where you can buy, sell, and trade. The Red Light Clothing Exchange on Hawthorne Blvd was full of wacky, tacky, junk. Apparently my clothing was too good to accept. They want crap, not new threads. I should have brought in my ripped, and stained stuff instead, and thrown it in the mud before. And I’m not one to judge, but their use of a B.O. air freshener wasn’t appreciated. The lady evaluating my clothing was a snob. She looked it all over quickly, and threw it back at me, saying “these aren’t for us.” That was it. No have a nice day. She walked away. I guess kindness isn’t trendy over there. Next.
Finally, I tried my luck with Buffalo Exchange on W Burnside St. I’ve dealt with them in the past, and sold some Nike Oregon Duck gear for a little. They had better looking women, and clothing there. I perused. They offered me $15 in trade, or $10 and some change cash for three shirts. I took the money and ran. I knew I wouldn’t get offered much at these resale places, but I thought it would be interesting to try. A learning experience for sure. I’m better off donating old clothes, or selling it online, so I don’t have to waste time and $. Nothing sucks more than paying $5 for parking every spot you go to in Portland. You should never have to pay to park. But I’m an idealist.

Yesterday I saw this amazing buck in Astoria OR. I grabbed the camera, and got right up to him. He walked my way. I thought it was about to go down! I would have won. Still, what a beautiful beast.
