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

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!!!

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.

Survival Bros shows you exactly how to get FREE CLOTHING IN LIFE! Click on the HD YouTube video above for the exact mission details. All you have to do is visit your local painting supply company store, and request a complimentary painter’s shirt or even a hoodie. Every painter needs a shirt, preferably one with sleeves to protect themselves from paint over spray, and drips. Trust me, I’ve painted houses and after pulling globs of latex out of my chest hair, a barrier of soft, breathable protection is a must.
It’s simple: Request swag (politely), get gear. Try this method of acquiring, and comment on the blog post here if you have any luck. It’s worked every time for me when I need fresh clothes to wear, and there’s more than one paint shop to pick from.
I got another free shirt, this time from Rodda Paint in McMinnville, Oregon by asking…
More proof you can do this too.

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.
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!

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.
