In these HD #survivalbros videos I source product, or pick stuff, to potentially resell at a profit. I purchased nearly 27 pounds of Goodwill donations at 99 cents per lb in one day, as seen in the first vlog below. Watch these guides to learn more about picking, aka hustling. I chose a diverse range of merchandise, buying everything from purses to Nintendo Wii video games. I think I scored on my thrifting haul adventure, but you be the judge.

Cam found Minion Goggles at The Bins in Portland, Oregon
Pro Tips for Shopping at The Goodwill Outlet Bins:
Wear gloves. This way you can toss stuff, and protect your hands from sharp objects…
Weigh your cart several times to see where your at, and to preview what you may spend.
Take a chance on an item or two that you know nothing about. It may prove to be a super find.
I’ve been on the hunt at local thrift shops for a bargain. After scouring the Eugene/Springfield, Oregon area I hauled in fresh gear, and saved a wad of money buying items second hand. However, most of the swag mentioned in this HD video production is new. I’ve been popping tags. I hope to use these pieces backpacking, vandwelling, and as essential Every Day Carry items.
I found a new pair of Nike Special Field Boots or SFB at St. Vinnie’s. They retail online for $140 or more, if you can locate your size. I had hoped they were size 12’s when I spotted them on display. It was my lucky day, because they were a match for me. The desert tan kicks had been marked $29.99, but were half off that day. I got the shoes for $14.99! I’ve been wanting this exact pair of 8 inch high military style boots. Here’s the male equivalent of girls wearing Uggs in public. I get lots of compliments on them. No I haven’t served, but I train with soldiers.
I lost one of my all black Mechanix M-PACT Covert gloves bouncing around town celebrating New Years. So, now I’m breaking in another pair of work gloves that I had for backup. I like wearing them while biking, or even driving my Volkswagen Vanagon. This brightly colored safety wear is men’s size Large. Newer versions fit even better. I also like that they dry out quickly in the sun.
Here’s my other videos on thrift store shopping. I’ve found some treasures, and I look forward to going back into the city to discover what else I can’t live without. Thanks for supporting the blog. Visit again shortly. I have lots of wacky videos in the works. Have a great Spring Break, and Summer!

Email me about anything at thesurvivalbros@gmail.com
1. Check which color tag is 50% off that week when you walk in the door.
2. See if the item works. Plug it in. Check for missing parts, or if it’s damaged.
3. If you find something unique – RESEARCH IT on the spot with your smartphone.
Search Amazon and eBay
Scan the barcode with your phone’s camera
4. Pull the trigger. If you haven’t seen it before, BUY IT. Your item may be a good investment because it’s rare.
Finally, keep the treasure for yourself, give it away to someone deserving, or sell it for a profit online or in person.
Here’s another sweet Goodwill find I scored this week, and show you on video. It’s a rare Valterra skateboard from 1986! It shreds.
I found this road bike at Goodwill too, and now it’s a Bug Out Bike ready in case of emergencies. I got new tires for it, and purchased a BOB Yak trailer to haul gear down the road with ease.
Don’t forget to donate stuff you don’t need to charity. I’ve seen Goodwill do good things in the community, and employee people that need assistance. You’ll get a tax credit too just for being so kind. Thanks for reading, and doing your part. Peace from Survival Bros.
Good luck treasure hunting at Goodwill and beyond! Expect epic finds.
I can’t believe what I discovered at Goodwill today. At the thrift store I scored a super rare vintage Specialized Allez Sport racing bicycle! Winning. It took all my hustling skills to acquire it.
I walked around looking for treasure, but couldn’t find anything on the shelves, or in the glass displays. I’m always looking for things to flip. Right when I almost called off the hunt, I went to the back and peered through the doors marked employees only. All I could see were bins, and the bike of my dreams. I’ve been wanting a road bike so I can cruise down the Oregon Coast to hike and camp.
I found an employee, and she said the bike won’t be available until they price it tomorrow. I didn’t accept that. I told her I really need a bike, and I’d like to talk to the manager. He came over, and I said I’d be very grateful if he could sell it to me. So he brought it out, and said I can have it for $24.95! Unbelievable. It’s super clean, and loaded with custom parts. I said deal, and paid the man cash. It was even cheaper because I was in Washington, but showed my Oregon I.D., so I didn’t have to pay sales tax. I rode off into the sunset. I can’t find anything on this ride. If you know something about it, please share. I don’t know the year. If you want it, I can make you a deal.
Update: My local Specialized dealer informed me this is a 1994 Allez Sport. It retailed for $650 new.
