the Trash vitae

Trash is the editor-in-chief of an independent Colorado micro-publisher/ design studio. I dabble in digital photography, the lost art of film image making, and guerilla digital video. DrMAC Studios specializes in books and videos on self-reliance, gardening, dumpster diving, urban foraging and living off the excesses of others.

Revolution is fertile

This is an example of what we must do to survive in these trying times.

Scrounge in dumpsters and around the neighborhood for necessities and barter /sell items.
Hit up the back door stores for food and staples.
Frequent the CL and the local Freecycle for the free necessary and luxury items, etc.
You can even hit up the day after the yard sales dumpsters for the leftovers that are now being given away.. SOme good stuff is usually available for free.
Most of all though is use your ingenuity and the WWW for tips and tricks to create your own victory garden..

Scored a Dell 15 inch flat screen monitor on the curb tonight! It pays to keep your eyes open!
