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
“If the fool would persist in his folly, he would become wise.” – William Blake
Did you hear? Cameron CONSUMPTION McKirdy went to New York City on the 4th of July! He competed in the World Chugging Championship during the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. In other words, he opened The Show for Joey “JAWS” Chestnut. Here’s the trip video! Enjoy.

Cameron McKirdy finds a Free Boat with a trailer on the side of Highway 101 in Garibaldi, Oregon. Would you haul it home? This would make a great project, but it would be tons of work. Also, you’d have to pay $ to keep the tags up to date if you were going to put it in the water. Survival Bros wants you to think outside the box! Thanks for visiting our WordPress Blog.

Watch as I open a Survival Kit Cache, and show you the contents. This is a Time Capsule of sorts, but loaded with useful gear items for everyday life. I fill one gallon paint cans, and put a tight lid on the container. No water can get in! Then I store these emergency kits around the Pacific Northwest. If I need something, or a lot of things I just got pick one up. Email Survival Bros if you’d like Cam to make a mystery cache for you. Thanks for your support. More fun stuff soon.

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!!!

I love meeting new friends at Terwilliger aka Cougar Hot Spring in Oregon. It’s located in the Willamette National Forest, East of Eugene near the McKenzie River. The cost is now $7 for one day pass, or you can buy an annual pass. You’ll take a moderate walk 1/2 a mile in from the small parking lot, before getting to the meditative area. Accommodations include a covered changing area, and updated self-composting outdoor restrooms. Also, keep in mind this is a day use area only. You could face a fat fine if you’re not leaving the parking lot when darkness falls.

Change temperatures in a shallow creek skirting the cascading blue pools. Cool down, and drink the fresh water from Source. Previously, I dug clay out of the Earth here for facials, but we need to leave this space as it is. Clothing is optional, so come as you are and be respectful, or leave. Guests may want to remain clothed. Don’t ask them why they aren’t naked. This popular recreational area can be very busy during the Summer. Go in the morning, or during the week for more seclusion. Pools are cleaned every Thursday in the AM, so expect closure until late afternoon. Smile, and bring your positive energy. We need more natural people on Earth. Forget you phone, bills, and ex girlfriend, and soak in the healing waters. I hope to see you there. I will continue to update this post with new pictures, and HD video.
Soak in the healing waters, and try the different pools at Cougar Hot Spring in the Willamette National Forest. It’s $7 per person for a day pass, and you can’t be there after dark. Share this HD 60fps video shot with GoPro Hero7 Black camera by Cameron McKirdy.

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
Note: More Survival Bros challenges coming in the near future. See how many you can complete this summer. Welcome a friend to play this survival game along with you. Plus, if you have a video idea to suggest, email me at thesurvivalbros@gmail.com Best wishes!
