Emergency #Vanlife Bed Setup – No Sleeping Bag!

Showing you gear I used to endure a cold night in Oregon. I forgot my sleeping bag at a friend’s house, so I had to get by with only an emergency, and wool blanket. It was close to 40 degrees outside in the morning when I started the van. I got up by 5 AM, to get my vehicle ready for the road again. You don’t want all of your boxes and tubs dumping over on corners. The struggle is real on Survival Bros.
Cam’s Preparedness Advice: Make sure you have a barrier or two between you and the ground (or metal auto floor). Then wrap up in layers, with an emergency mylar blanket around yourself! Thanks for the invention Astronauts. Also, huddle up with a friend if you can overnight, and keep moving if you get really cold. Well, I survived to fight more today…Next stop, free coffee in town! #urban #scavenging

Attention my fellow Survival Bros: Check our my new vehicle for car camping! The old 2.1 Liter Volkswagen Vanagon has been sold to a hippie. This 1994 Chevrolet G-20 van cost $2,000, and has 136,000 miles on it. I’m hopeful that the Chevy will be much more reliable than the 1986 VW bus I lived in for nearly 2.5 years! I must have had AAA tow my last ride 13 times to a mechanic or home.
#SurvivalBros is creating a new video series on vandwelling in this RV. You’re gonna want to see every episode of my travels. I’m bursting with information, and tips to share about living on the road. Share this vlog and blog post with friends into #vandwelling Subscribe today on YouTube HERE!

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.

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.

Visiting Yogi Tea in Springfield OR for Samples

I stopped by Yogi Tea Headquarters in Springfield, Oregon today. After buzzing the doorbell I was welcomed inside, out of the rain. They don’t give tours of the building, but offered me a handful of sample tea packets to try. I took my time investigating each type, but ended up taking every kind I think. Pictured are new varieties I’ve never seen on store shelves before. You can find Yogi teas by the box at nearly every health food shop. They are delicious. I’m grateful for the hookup. It paid off to stop, and inquire. These will go into my EDC bag immediately for later consumption. But I got two of their Roasted Dandelion Spice Detox formula, so I will have to drink that tonight.
Try organic tea from Yogi https://www.yogiproducts.com
Update: I went back for this picture of the free sample bowl at headquarters. I scored 11 more packets from Yogi. Visit them in Springfield, OR for a hook up.
