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.

A survivalist and cancer fighter answers my questions about his unique ride. This electric trike gets 240 miles per gallon of gas. Talk about frugality and wellness wrapped in one man’s mission to live! The cyclist is always moving his legs, and getting a workout while going down the road. He had this tricycle loaded with groceries, and clean laundry. It could easily haul over 100 pounds of gear. What do you think of this survival mobile? More on the #survivalbros YouTube Channel.

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.

I spent the weekend on the Oregon Coast in Seaside, and had spare time to experiment with a new Art project. First, I dug through a recycling bin for cardboard to create a small handmade sign with a permanent pen. Then I rounded up some fun objects I didn’t need anymore, like a Smokey The Bear keychain whistle. These goods would be available to begin the open bartering. I spread out a towel, and placed the trinkets on The Prom’s concrete path.
With little effort, and few resources, a self-serve system was born. A take one, leave one blanket is a place where an item of any kind can freely be exchanged as you see fit. Share this concept with people in your town. You wouldn’t believe the response. Nearly every biker, and pedestrian stopped their forward progress to figure out what was going on. This open trading system seemed to inspire, confuse, and even make some people greedy.
I may have seen people taking without giving, thinking nobody was looking, but I’m not sure. Others had no issue taking nice items, like a Tree of Life necklace pendant, and replacing it with trash. I found the blanket riddled with wrappers, cardboard scraps, and even half of a marijuana cigarette. Take a close look at the pictures, and you’ll see other small stuff, like a paperclip, pocket change, flower, price tag sticker, and a pile of sand from the beach.
I discretely checked back every few hours for a day, and saw some of the action in person. People generously placed beautiful possessions with little hesitation. There were cool things left behind that I didn’t get a picture of, because I didn’t want to interrupt the process. My favorite moment was when a 12-year old girl named Krystin Crawford set down her hand painted sand dollars. She took a braided piece of grasses someone constructed. The girl enjoyed sharing the Art she made, and getting involved. See her craftsmanship below. The found, and re-purposed shells were adorable. Krystin and her mom came back to the free exchange place the following morning with a positive attitude. Everything had changed. This artist endeavour has restored my faith in humanity once and for all, despite some shady, but acceptable transactions by others.
In conclusion, I will try this social experiment again. I was thrilled to see this interactive art piece evolve rapidly. I saw joy on many of the participants faces. This free trading system can be implemented anywhere, at anytime. Let’s spread the concept, and see the random generousity of others displayed in public. And remember, you’ll usually get more than you give. Leave a comment, or question if you like. Thanks for visiting Survival Bros.

This week I did something wild! I pushed my limits, and enjoyed eight zip lines on the Oregon Coast in Warrenton. I’d never attempted anything like this adventure. It got my heart rate up, and made me scream to the top of my lungs.
Watch me zip down the fastest line there called Huckleberry on The Survival Bros YouTube Channel
What it’s like to jump from the top of the tower on an Extreme Zip Swing or Zwing with a 20 foot rope attached to the cable!
See my Bigfoot Sighting on Zip Line Over Water with Camera Drag
Enjoy a gallery of my photographs from my trip to High Life Adventures:
My tour group of eight people took around three hours to complete the course. We had two local, and friendly guides. They communicated with small radios attached to their harness. One guide would go first, then use a rope to gently bring them to a controlled stop. The female went last, and was responsible for securing us properly. You don’t have to walk much in between the routes. In fact, they have a 4×4 vehicle if you want to use it, or get spooked and need a ride back to the parking lot early.
Jumping from the observation tower is intense. There are three different lines from that point, on two levels. SPOILER ALERTS: You get a cookie and a juice box halfway through the tour, plus spring water. Soon they will have a wood stove operational for the brutal winter months, and a wind turbine on top. Also, be on the lookout for Sasquatch. I just saved you a heart attack, and/or a lawsuit. I threw a legit left jab to the face of the masked man, and nearly delivered a swift leg kick before realizing I wasn’t in danger. Fortunately, when he sneaks up, you’re still locked to the zip line, and can’t fully attack!
I would highly recommend going on this zip line tour. It costs $99, and you can also try THE ZWING, their extreme zip swing. I did, and got a high-visibility rubber bracelet as a souvenir. The add-on is $29 more, but worth it, if you can keep down your cookie. I was attached to a longer, 20-foot rope, and jumped off the side of the tower instead of from the middle like most of the group. So I flew 40 feet across, and then dropped towards the lake, on the 1200′ long cable. I screamed like Bigfoot, and was definitely the loudest in the group. I look forward to zip lining again soon, and possibly filming even more. Honestly, this would be a hard hobby to master. The easiest way to stay facing forward is to hold your line towards the top of the connection.

Going into a bank to take free food and drink without being a Member. I scored moist cookies, enough coffee, tea, and sugar packets for the road. Would you get freebies like this to survive and thrive in an urban environment? The grub was sitting on a platter near the window on Commercial St. Of course that’s my calories. You can get free suckers at financial institutions too. Plus, visit a Tire Center, or Hardware Store for free popcorn to go. Coming soon on HD video – see all of the free product samples I took from Health Food Stores.

Learn which individual servings or samples of condiments, and sauce you can find for free. Do some urban scavenging like me. Stockpile packets of ketchup, salsa, candy, and more items for storage. My favorite package seen in the video is the lemon juice. I forgot to mention it. You can find just about any free food packet out there. I have a secret sauce floating around my van somewhere from Burger King. I think I eat out more for condiments than the fast food itself.
Having these sauces, and sugars, etc. on hand saves money. Take food packets like the ones shown on your next camping trip for extra spice, or flavor in your meal. Get free condiments as seen on Survival Bros at restaurants, and convenience stores. If something isn’t priced, it must be available to take.
Do you stockpile packets like I do? I feel like such a rebel when my pockets are full, and I’ve made a clean getaway with the loot.
