If you live near the ocean, you should be prepared for a tsunami. NO EXCUSES. Put together a backpack with all the essentials, and have it on hand. Here’s Survival Bros example of a Go Bag, or emergency Bug-Out-Bag. You could survive at least 72 precious hours with these must-have items.
Do you know where The Mill Ponds are in Seaside Oregon? Many locals have no idea. Take advantage of the trails, and waterfront views. From Seaside on Highway 101 (aka South Roosevelt Drive), take Ave. S to Alder Mill Road. It’s near the Seaside recycling center.
Watch my bike ride video!
The Mill Ponds are a great walk for the whole family. Chill on a bench and bird watch. It’s one of my favorite spots in town. Please be respectful, and take your trash with you. This is a day use only park. Enjoy the panoramas and photos I took.

On the 4th of July, two buddies and I ditched tourist infested Seaside, and dipped the Cadillac to Saddle Mt. We had all our essential gear including: headlamps, flashlights, first aid, extra water, etc., plus double chocolate brownies for the climb. It’s only 2.5 miles from the parking lot to the top. However, it is a difficult trail. It’s steap, and rocky. It’s worth the trip though to see all the vibrant wildflowers, and the Pacific Ocean coastline. I snapped pictures; as seen in previous posts. All in all, Survival Bros had a blast, and got to test the gear. It’s an awesome experience. You gotta hike this mountain. Check back here daily for more adventures and survival information. Peace and love.
