I found a MASSIVE abandoned camp in our Oregon woods. Easily 2-3 million pounds of trash and no sign of people. Multiple half built houses, thousands of
pieces of clothing, hundreds of cans of paint, over a thousand bicycles piled up over 15 feet high, basements, treehouses, dozens of clearly stolen catalytic converters and a needle pit with over ten thousand needles.
I don’t know who lived here, how many lived here or why the left. I also counted over a hundred teddy bears. It was clear kids used to live there.
There was dozens of tricycles, toys kids clothes and even cribs. The camp is spread out over 4-5 acres. The cleanup will easily be a half million dollars. This is why I support sanctioned camping and to restrict all other
homeless camping. Kids for one should never be out there, the community should not continuously be responsible for messes like this and the fact is there is nothing compassionate with allowing the homeless to live this way.

I visited a tiny home, village built by the homeless and managed by the homeless. They have a strict, no drug policy and everybody chips in and does chores. Yes they are technically not supposed to be
there, but I’ve never seen a better managed Tiny home village. Far better than any NGO run one. The lady that gave me the tour said no nonprofits come by ever. I thought that was odd
considering how many homeless people live there but perhaps they resent the fact that that they’re doing it better. I have visited there now three years in a row, and it looks nearly identical, which tells me people continue to follow the rules.
We got accused of staging one of our videos. Recently @tarafaul503 and I intervened when one homeless man was threatening to stab another one with a hypodermic needle. We were accused of staging it by a Homeless nonprofit worker. It happened outside their agency and one
of them approached us and made the accusation. It was so ludicrous, but also not surprising. Every so often we get accused of hiring actors to portray homeless people. Accusations always comes from so-called advocates who refuse to accept the truth of the streets.
If we did stage it, it definitely was an impressive feat considering our ‘actors’ lack rational thought and critical thinking. Costuming though has never been a problem. The homeless always know what to wear and it looks so real. The most infuriating thing is the very people
Warning Graphic. A young homeless woman overdosing on fentanyl twenty minutes after Harm Reduction activists came by and handed out pipes, foil, straws and alcohol swabs. I don’t know if they gave anybody Narcan, but when we realized the young lady was dying. I was the only
one there who had it. Her face pretty quickly turned purple and she became completely unresponsive. A few others around her were also nodded out and I credit her friend for noticing her purple lips. I called 911 twice and it was hard to reach them. After a few minutes of CPR and
chest rubs we gave her a second Narcan. Echelon security showed up and assisted. It wasn’t looking good as it was taking forever for her to respond to the Narcan. It looked like she was going to die for sure. Everyone took turns doing CPR and finally after about 5-7 minutes
I interviewed a homeless man selling his methadone. Methadone is a prescribed opioid distributed by the county to drug addicts. It’s used as a substitute to street drugs with the ultimate goal to taper off and get clean. A methadone client has to
show up five days a week and drink it in front of nurse. On a Friday you are given to additional doses for the weekend because methadone clinics close. More often than not those doses are then sold on the streets so the user can buy their preferred opioid such
as fentanyl or heroin. This practice is extremely common. I am probably approached five times a week by random people asking if I want to buy their methadone. Many addicts go on methadone not with the intent to get clean but to score free drugs, which
When did we stop caring about the environment? One thing the Pacific Northwest had always been known for was its beauty. Over the last two decades, though turned into one large trash dump. It
happens slowly that many people didn’t even notice until it reached a point of unmanageability. There are many reasons that happened, but I believe the number one reason is radicalized progressive policies. By turning Oregon, Washington, California. Into mostly lawless states
and with lax policies on homelessness and drugs, it’s no wonder where we are today. Incredibly the very people that got us into this mess insist they are part of the solution. The voters seem to agree despite the truth, literally in front of their faces. I have to wonder
Homeless man with his face painted as the joker uses a drumstick to place a spell on a young pregnant addict, causing her boyfriend to try and stab him with a syringe filled with heroin. This was all happening as @tarafaul503 and and I were interviewing a 20 year
old across the street who’s newly Homeless and not by choice and had just been attacked by a man with an axe who was not happy that he stared at his bike. A great example of just how insane the streets are sometimes. Tara and I have broken up dozens of fights which we can do
because we know almost everybody out there and feel comfortable enough to get in the middle of the conflict. In this case, Tara pushed a man away, who had just kicked another homeless man in the head. This is what the streets do to people. We are going to try
