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
Survival Bros takes a huge excavator on a crazy farm ride. Watch us play with a giant destruction machine. We hit a trailer, smash concrete, play with a bucket, cross a creek, remove a tree, and dig in the garden! Subscribe on YouTube for more fun videos with friends.
I love game shows. I’ve always wanted to host one, or play others on TV. A new program called Let’s Ask America gave me the chance to claim $50,000. Using a webcam and Skype I played from my apartment, and represented for my city of Seaside, Oregon. The episode I starred in aired on my 30th birthday. It was the best gift ever. I dominated the competition, and maintained a lead the entire game. One by one I picked off the challengers. I attribute all of my success to following my instincts. I went with my gut. Even though we were playing before a live studio audience in Hollywood, I kept my cool. I racked up $6,600 heading into the final question. I decided to bank $5k, and risk $1,600 which could be doubled. I guessed the correct answer and screamed in joy. My total winnings ended up being $8,200! The crowd went wild, and I ran my mouth. The host Kevin Pereira asked what I would do with the money and I said, “Well Kev, shout out to William Blake and da Vinci, but I think I’m the greatest artist of all time. So I’m going to buy some Art supplies, and get my ideas out there.” The Daily Astorian wrote an article on my victory. Here’s the two clips the show has uploaded on their YouTube channel.
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.
