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! - Zábava
if i was driving by and saw you pushing a huge corrugated pipe up the side of the highway i wouldn't be the slightest surprised 😂
Because you would think: "Oh...that's Kevin Builds."😊
Should have placed the rope lower
That culvert bug-in idea is great! I would locate it in a place where a pipe would reasonably be expected to exit. Now we know what a day of dumpster diving would be like.
Its amazing the stuff you can find from construction waste
I work in new sub divisions
Literally tons of good plywood & cut offs
Yep, many backyard sheds have been built from new subdivision waste.
You should make a week of this
Another great video Kevin!! Cool street sign!! 😄
I'm homeless, and I have underground shelters in and out of town. The one in town 6x8 and 5 feet of over burden. I've lived in it for 3 years now. 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.
Great video! Thanks
Hey Larry. How does being underground stop thermal imaging? Did you line the roof with tinfoil or thermal blanket or something?
@tracylawrence5258 Know your enemy! Sheriff's dept uses two. One is Flir unit on a helicopter, and the other is DJI Enterprise with thermal but no flir. I use basically an elaborated scout pit only larger.
The one I'm in now has at least 16 inches of soil on top.
I don't have Fite in it has 2 air holes for a cross breeze.
I use the cheap dollar store emergency blankets on the ceiling.
Several camps have been under big juniper with a canvas tarp and thermal blankets underneath. Don't use plastic tarps or flir picks that sh$t like a mirror. Also, you should have at least a foot airgap between the two.
Awesome build. Awesome dumpster dive.
It's always an adventure.
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.
Kevin, I forgot to mention this previously but you’re really onto something with trying to put these structures for bugging out underground (the flooding of your Japanese spider hole not withstanding), because one of the benefits I’m seeing from the builders of earthships to other underground homes on the Living Big in a Tiny House Channel is if you can get roughly 8-10 feet underground (or have the pipe which supplies your air buried at the same depth), regardless of how hot or cold it is above ground, you will have an “average temperature of 17 degrees Celsius” because of the earth’s thermal mass. Which in theory makes it easier to get to a comfortable temperature inside your living space. So I simply have to say to you my snack eating in the boat non fly fisherman, I am impressed with your ideas in every way. 😇
We love to see a survival challenge with you're brother!
A nice bed for tonight but a rat infested bed for every other night.
Plus it will wreak of mildew within a week
@18:20 Forget the lemons, or don't they were probably fine, don't you want a bucket? Something to sit on, carry things in, holds water or upside down as a side table.
Kevin, I would love it if you could do a video where you go revisit all the builds you have done in your woods. Wondering how the Car tree house is holding up, the Wooden ball, Japanese spider hole. All of them.
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
Yeah, I didn't grab the big items that I normally would have because I only had a bike.
This is awesome. I walk that trail all the time and wouldn't have noticed it.
GOT ME A DIME - lol, but yeah - always look cuz anything could be of use.Plus just because someone else thinks it's junk doesn't make it so to someone else. Love you show and keep it up yo.
One man's trash is another treasure
Hi, Kevin ❤ Video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds like Chris might be getting a call for a couple pickups. Lol
Could make a career outta dumpster diving in the area you’re in. Can’t believe people throw all that away. The copper alone is cash at the recycling center 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Love the video
Wrestling that pipe through the woods is a video of its own 😂
Survival stuff is interesting but I hope you will also do more building in the woods with Don.
Don got the 💉💉💉 and that hurt his 💔. Just a really good guess.
Thanks for the video Kev!
Loved the video ❤
It has a long time since I went dumpster diving. That clean bucket with the lemons, I wanted it to plant some carrots in it.
Or, a lemon tree... course, you'd need to have it in at least a sunroon in the winter there...😅
When life gives you lemons... buy n bottle of tequila😂
I've seen a cardboard tube Ready set fight LOL😂😂
Going to survive a whole day. WoW
Good video brother👊
You lead an interesting life, love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You ciuld have wrapped the memory foam with the hose to tie it into a bundle to carry off.then you wouldnt have had to take that fabric off the roll, and make it much less saleable.
Cool idea. Interested in seeing what you can find for free to flip for a profit on marketplace or for the property
Awesome video, couldn’t agree with you more on people doing the best they can at what they’re doing. I guess people just don’t care anymore and there’s definitely no pride.
If you haven't sold it or given it away by the time you see this, I'll take that bolt of fabric! Real tough to find at least 84" long items.
Very amusing video
Hey Kevin, as I'm watching this I'm concerned because you are not using gloves when dumpster diving.,😅. Surely you're washing your hands afterwards but my skin is crawling thinking about it. Also, before eating, 😱. God bless, really enjoy the videos.
Right up my alley with this one, Kevin.
LOL @ "Pipe laying video" 😂
Please make this a series
That is hard work!
Hopefully you find a pair of gloves in one of the bins.
Scrounging is invigorating and profitable. Especially if you have a good filing system.
Good filing system is key. I'm pretty sure that's what the hardware stores are selling... Filing.. lol
@@ModernSelfReliance I keep buying more shelves for everything I've scrounged...I just wish I could scrounge more shelves!
I would hire you. You have unlimited upside without a care of the rest of the worlds viewpoint. Carry on
i did the exact same thing i dumpster dived and got the same coverts and had the same exact idea with them ... then i found one 10 feet long ..on the riverbanks after a flood
Sometimes fabric stores have bolts that don't sell. Looks like you found one. BTW, originally a bolt was 9 yards of fabric. Today that could vary. That is where the expression "the whole 9 yards" came from. It means you took the whole bolt.
I thought the whole 9 yards was from concrete... Things you learn in the comments
You never underestimate me with your videos Kevin they’re always interesting so creative things. I hope you never stop doing them. Take care.
My uncle built a small power producing windmill with the motor of a treadmill. It was not very efficient. But, it did power a single 60w lightbulb. That was the mid 80s. Maybe a newer one would do better?
Kevin, it just hit me when I saw the bugs flying around you in the video, there’s some interesting research I saw in a video on the weather channel website which states mosquitoes HATE the smell of coconut. I have yet to test it for myself because they think of my blood as some sort of fine wine, but I thought it was worth passing along. 😇
I just found your channel. I like it you're like Jaimie Mantzel before he got kinda jaded with the world and went off the deep end. back when he was fun and exciting.
Earthworms are best served fried in butter and salt!
Wrong channel for that. ;-)
@@ModernSelfReliance remind your brother for me!!
We need more dumpster videos😁
Kevin, why don't you make a trailer for the bike, that way you can take bigger stuff, and not overload your backback.
no way, life actually gave him lemons?
When you started this channel I made a regretful comment, im sorry for that an i apologize to anybody that had to read it, your Awesome in all the things you do and iv viewed so hours your an inspiration, Thankyou for your videos.
my dog farted while you were eating the mcds fries and I swear I could smell them
you left the operation game in there its a classic.. it goes for $30
😅good video👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦
Love this video also if you find a dime it means the angels are telling you, you are on the right path!
Love that.
@@ModernSelfReliancecan't wait to see your future videos! You have such a positive attitude and an amazing creative imagination, please never change who you are! Thank you for being you.
Lol, thanks kev
Good morning
Goooooood Morning!
Kevin, as a fellow dumpster driver, (well, roadside garbage picker, anyway) I thought this video was great!!! I did see a couple of things that were worth some money, that you didnt even seem to notice... That brass sort of square art deco-y lamp??? At least $50 on market place...also there was an antique brass light fixture in that one, too...$$$ the operation game, and there was a picture in that bin, that could've been a good marketplace sales. I know you couldnt take them on your bike, but that little desk, and ottoman would sell...😅 I think I look more home goods, and vintage kinds of things, but keep in mind those are also money makers!!! Nice video, but I gotta admit I would have loved to see another day of it!😊😊😊
Yep, effort vs. reward on the items I took. But yeah lots of value left behind.
I feel like I've missed a couple of videos, the ones where you lost your wife, house and land... sorry to see you having to live like this but you do seem to be embracing the challenge and holding up well. Best of luck!
You passed up so many items that would have been good flooring for that pipe. Some of that wood could have raised the fabric, allowing for drainage, without totally soaking it.
For the price of that McDonald's, you could have bought something decent from the grocery deli.
Keep the bucket
I think Kevin just turned into a hamster
Next video, make a bike trailer from whatever you could find.
I'm starting to think Kevin is actually homeless... But industrious!
I work in hvac and that looks like stuff we throw away 😅
Great idea in certain circumstances. Personally, i found the concrete culvert pipe a little heavy to maneuver through the woods...😂😅 Love the thought process and execution. 😊
More dumpster - less culvert.
You were the original scratch-builder!
That would be interesting video, getting all the free stuff off fb and flipping it haha
Trade up to a house. Lol
Living la vida homeless. Happy I got a place.
Who would toss out good copper? You stole a bums stash, accidentally of course. 😅😅
Kevin Kevin Kevin
Many call it living rough.
Roughers would have taken the bucket (With or without lemons). And any milk crates (think box that never falls apart. Handy, structural.)
My houseless friend would have taken the peppers.
I enjoyed the video.
The whole box of electrical was big $$$, could have sold the whole box at discount.
Sidestep society
If you were really homeless the lemons might keep you from scurvy.
32:46 "I'm not going to eat garbage." he says after eating McDonalds for lunch. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those vegetables are WAY less garbage, even though they're IN the garbage.
Keep an eye out for decent looking electronics! I would love to fix a good dumpster find for my channel
can you think of making a sort of mobile shelter from the culvert similar to your last few videos of cheap mobile housing?
The murray rd shelter
😊
Cant believe you didnt take the bucket of lemons.
Was definitely sitting on the fence about it... But Lemons hurt my teeth.. ;-)
I would have left the lemons and taken the bucket. Or used the lemons to make some kind of cleaning fluid to clean up some of the finds
@@spesago2 vinegar with lemon peel, great cleaner
Kevin, Can you use a 275 water cube underground if you leave the metal outercage on it?
Never tried it... Certainly plausible
liked the video, although you should have done the second day . because if it were in bugout/in days it does not stop because if your first step of living goes dry you should have a backup plan . i watch your videos every week thanks for the content
When life gives you lemons you make lemonade
Kevin, I have been following your builds on CZcams from the beginning. I have come to believe that you are among the most resourceful persons on the planet looking for solutions to help the less fortunate. One can easily tell from the theme of your builds that you are ever looking for solutions to homelessness and poverty and giving a detailed hands on demonstration of how to. You are doing a great job. Love your content
also the grinding wheels and saw blades at 32:23 it seems you didn't take them, but hypothetically if someone had equipment and no grinding wheels or no saw blades, that for example maybe they could use a file on the saw blades to get a bit of life out of them in a pinch
Oh Kevin nooo! Lol what are the legalities there that looks like a park.
18:16 not only are those completely safe to eat, but you got a good bucket to make a pannier for your current bike. MORE CARGO SPACE!!
Bicycle Trailer
I like the variety of content on the channel.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Who woulda thunk we would ever need a youtube video on how to survive when homeless. Canada and the US are too prosperous to have the homeless problem we have. Does McD's in Canada want you to tip at least 20%?
No tip option here in Canada at McDonald's.
24:53 no I think the tent idea was GENIOUS, I mean how big a tent could you make from that? A whole circus tent? that's a LOT of fabric. Then you can use spray waterproofing to cure it. 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.
*genius. Smh
Perfectly good healthy free veggies and you buy $7. of fast food instead! Only in America....😂😈
Hey Kevin, not to get off the subject because I’ve been meaning to ask you this also as a fellow Bass Pro Shop and Cabelas customer. Do you by chance fly fish, because you seem really chill? 😇
Never attempted to fly fish... I'm more like a eating snacks in a boat kinda fella.
That literally hurt me to see you leave all that food
If you used tools to make toys for yourself, then the tools were your real toys.
That's very philosophical.
"Dumpster Divin' with Kev"
Good thing you didn't find any bodies.
Or needles
11:27 get the snowblower, go to pawn shop, get a 2nd steel frame bike, and some hand tools, get the engine running and mount it to the 2nd bike, use the wheels from your first and some wood to make a pull behind cart, BAM massive hauling potential, real money. 12:23 everyone sleeps on pallets, but I've built entire one room cabins out of them and a bit of tin for the roof. 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?
Why didn’t you record the sign sale
