    I spend 24-hours in an urban spider hole culvert, dug into the ground and use it as a post to loot, scavenge, dumpster dive, and hock my findings in the open economy through Facebook Market Place, scrap metal, and any other way to make a living. This is the scavenger economy, bug in urban challenge spider hole dumpster diving challenge! My goal is to turn a profit, or at least earn myself a living, food, drink, and a warm, dry place to live.
    Ever wondered if you could live off what you can find in a dumpster? I did a secret BUG-IN Shelter in the city, and live off what you can find in a dumpster.
    I'll need to make a shelter quickly, and stealthily to camp out within the city, and find all the things I need to keep myself alive. Food, water, shelter, and some extra cash is the goal.

    "Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
    Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!

    when you were going over your daily gains, you didn't even count the grinding discs or that big long roll of fabric. I've never really bought fabric, but if one was starting out that seems like a really good find.
    I don't know if you were trying to simulate homelessness, by only having the bike
    but if you had a vehicle,
    and you grabbed the aluminum scrap, the treadmill
    grabbed the plants (which it's still a suitable time to plant them if you have somewhere to plant them, but they need a lot of water, especially since they're probably not in perfect condition)
    the peppers and the celery looked good, and still in original packaging
    and the lemons looked good and they have a good outside exterior to protect them from contamination, but usually you don't need that many lemons unless you're making lemonade

    The amount of stuff I’ve raided from dumpsters when I lived in the city and needed some wire or cable or odds and ends. Even small bits of steel when I was building an engine frame. Though most of them were inside property boundaries so I use to ask permission and tell them what I was looking for or trying to build.

    You passed up so many items that would have been good flooring for that pipe. Some of that wood could have raised the fabric, allowing for drainage, without totally soaking it.
    For the price of that McDonald's, you could have bought something decent from the grocery deli.

It was my solution to being hunted with thermal drones. I so loved this vid. It's my everyday life, I just eat better than you. I boil eggs everyother day and cook mostly meats over the fire, brats, hot dogs,ground beef or fresh caught fish, crawdads.
    I kept grunting and ooohing as you hunted.

Also that would be the base for your cargo trailer, two of those side by side, held together from some cast off 2x4 from a construction dumpster?

You'd have at least WAY more room, and the color will blend in to the forest well. I say, make a tent, and then make a mini series for 6 months of scrapping and living outside. That would be DOPE.

At least $50 on market place...also there was an antique brass light fixture in that one, too...$$$ the operation game, and there was a picture in that bin, that could've been a good marketplace sales. I know you couldnt take them on your bike, but that little desk, and ottoman would sell...😅 I think I look more home goods, and vintage kinds of things, but keep in mind those are also money makers!!!

    We have a homeless guy living in an old RR building. When he first showed up he only had a bike and things like blankets. Now he has a cot, sleeping bags, 2 propane stoves, 3 new red coolers, several bins of items, and much more. He has been seen playing his guitar for feral cats and dumpster diving. He doesn't seem to beg but people give him stuff. Then we have people that travel to our town just to beg. Like begging is their job. They always go to two very specific locations. Their beggar signs always start with please help me. Then they give a reason like gas, diapers, rent, etc... Then they always end with a version of God bless you. It's like people tell them what to write but never the correct spelling. God, good, bleas, bless... They never seem to get the gas. They leave past several gas stations and get on a highway. Some come back over and over. The same people can be seen begging in larger cities too. Almost like someone is making them go to locations to beg.

    12:52 that might be interesting, but like 5 seconds back, I saw 3 or 4 MORE pallets. All you need is a hammer and some patience and you can very quickly have enough wood AND nails (if you decided to save them, I'd go with screws.) to build a whole cabin with.
