Time is running out for off-loading our life's treasures

Time is running out for off-loading our life’s treasures

Tick, tock. Time is flying by and I still haven’t summoned up the mental and physical energy required to purge my belongings. It’s not as if I expect to die next week (fingers crossed!) but who knows? During the pandemic, many conscientious boomers used the downtime to clean out their basements, closets, garages, and various hidey-holes of unused ‘valuables’ and ephemera. Sadly, I was not one of…

Dumpster Diving and Acquisition Guidelines Reduce Waste:

We all like "stuff" but some of the stuff we acquire has limited and short-lived use or no use at all because it was acquired on a whim. Acquire supplies that will be used and fulfill a real purpose. Dumpster diving is simply looking through trash dumpsters (scavenging) for useful items that people throw away. These items can include building materials, furniture, books, tools, clothes, food and even CASH! There is a chance of finding most anything in a dumpster. If you look in the dumpster behind a local restaurant be prepared for some slimy and disgusting things. Avoiding places like that will be a much nicer experience. Depending on what you're looking for, apartment complex or college dorm dumpsters may be the best. At the end of the month or semester, people who are moving will throw away perfectly good items they just don't want to move. Many times they will place it beside the dumpster for people like us to pick up. If you are looking for food, the best place is behind a grocery store where they get rid of expired food. But set some guidelines, ahead of time, on choosing what you will consider eating. Consider equipping yourself with a good pair of shoes (protection from broken glass around dumpsters), Cut-Resistant or Heavy Leather Gloves, a cheap flashlight (in case of losing it) and a hooked cane to help pull things to you that you can't reach and provide some measure of protection. Supplies Acquisition Guidelines Before venturing out on your dumpster hunt, it's good to prepare a "Dumpster List" of things you want or need. That may help specify where you are going to start your search. You are bound to find other things you want or need but having a dumpster list puts some level of organization for your trip. Additionally, there are "Acquisition Guidelines" to help stretch dollars, limit output of refuse and select items that are easy to transport and maintain should evacuation or relocation become necessary in an emergency. These guidelines include:

Durability - built strong and proven strong to take rough treatment and last a long time.

Utility - function over fashion; cargo pants for extra pockets, boots vs. sneakers, junky old diesel truck vs new car.

Multiple Uses - multi-tool, wok vs saucepan, clothing for work and church, web belt for pants or tourniquet.

Portability - Strong but light materials for packup-and-go and kind to the body.

Repairable/Salvageable - If is breaks, can I fix it?

Tradeable - can it be bartered for something else?

Energy - Manually is, generally, better but does it need batteries or electricity to function? If so, how easy to acquire?

Redundancy - for bartering, swapping parts, backup of ultra-useful items, available at multiple locations

Raggedy Dog enjoys the sunshine ☀️

Truth in advertising.

Hello.

My name is Crusty Cinnamon Roadkill Cream Soda Pinesol Behemoth Macintosh

But you can just call me Roadkill

I was recently rescued by this guy named King.

I think they’re might be something mentally wrong with him, but he treats me nicely. It feels nice to be cared for again.

I’m still learning about who I am and finding new life in this nice new home. I hope you’ll come along with me on the ride!

Any questions or care tips for me or my caretaker are welcome!
