[0:04]So, I'm here. This is the

[0:07]place. There's nobody in there, though.

[0:10]Um, attending it. There's showers in the

[0:13]back. There's three of them. They're

[0:15]locked or no one's here. I'm not sure

[0:17]what it costs. I wasn't going to see the

[0:18]pricing. Um, it's like4 to $6 to wash

[0:22]clothes and then it's $5 to

[0:26]um to dry them for 30 minutes. So, it's

[0:29]kind of

[0:30]expensive, but we're going to have to do

[0:32]it. And

[0:35]um hopefully somebody shows up while I'm

[0:37]here cuz I really need to shower, but

[0:39]it's Sunday. Maybe they don't show up on

[0:41]Sundays. I'm going to have to find that

[0:43]out. Um this is this is the only option

[0:47]I know of so far right

[0:53]now. Okay. Okay, so I might not be able

[0:55]to shower today cuz there's just nobody

[0:57]here, but I'll come back tomorrow when

[1:00]it's Monday. Assume someone will be here

[1:01]then and I'll just find out what their

[1:03]hours are for someone being in there

[1:05]because it's the only time the showers

[1:06]are

[1:07]open. Um I just booked my um my campsite

[1:11]for another two days using the donations

[1:13]I received. I want to say thank you

[1:15]again. Uh so I've got until April 10th,

[1:18]one day before my birthday. I don't have

[1:20]any more money to continue um booking my

[1:25]off-grid campground. So, if anyone can

[1:26]help, I'd appreciate

[1:28]it. Um it's $22 a night plus an $8 fee

[1:32]to book it. So, the more days I can book

[1:34]at the same time, the

[1:36]better. And you know, I have a lot that

[1:39]I'm trying to navigate right now that

[1:41]I'm working on. I just need time. So,

[1:44]that's where I am. There's something

[1:46]actually I would like to say about this.

[1:48]I'm not asking for charity here. I've

[1:50]been sharing my life with with my

[1:53]audience for over a year

[1:56]now. And I did it for altruistic

[1:58]reasons. I still

[2:00]do. I'm not asking for charity. I'm

[2:02]asking for energy exchange. You're

[2:04]getting something out of watching me.

[2:07]And I'm asking for something in

[2:09]return. So, I'm just going to end with

[2:11]some thoughts on what my plans are.

[2:14]So, right now I'm at an off-grid

[2:16]National Forest campground. $22 a night.

[2:19]It's cheap. It's cheapest option. I am

[2:21]right on the coast and it's just as

[2:23]cheap as if I were somewhere inland. I

[2:25]feel very fortunate and lucky about

[2:27]this. Uh that particular place, it's a

[2:30]national recreation area and there are

[2:31]three or four different campgrounds. A

[2:33]couple of them are closed right now, but

[2:34]they open up on May 1st. Generally, you

[2:37]can stay at a campground for two weeks

[2:38]at a time. so I can hop around the

[2:40]different ones that are in this national

[2:41]recreation area for a couple of months.

[2:44]That's what my plan is. I'm just going

[2:46]to kind of root here in the Florence

[2:48]area for a couple of months while I get

[2:49]my life

[2:50]together. And I just need people to help

[2:53]to support me during this transition in

[2:55]my life. It would mean a lot. I would

[2:57]really really appreciate it. Uh I don't

[3:00]want to I don't want to sound like I'm

[3:01]begging because I'm not. It doesn't feel

[3:03]right. It doesn't feel aligned. I want

[3:05]people who actually want to be a part of

[3:08]my life, who actually, you know, you're

[3:10]getting something out of my channel.

[3:11]You're getting something out of

[3:12]witnessing my life. I'm here being my

[3:14]authentic self, sharing myself with you.

[3:17]I'm asking for something in

[3:20]return.

[3:22]So, as far as

[3:24]me finding a way of getting, you know,

[3:27]to a point where I have stable income,

[3:29]where I have stable revenue coming in,

[3:32]there's a couple of ways I'm trying to

[3:33]do that. One is I'm going to have my

[3:35]YouTube script subscription service

[3:36]going. Right now, you can't sign up for

[3:39]that because there was an issue with my

[3:40]AdSense account and YouTube um

[3:44]temporarily turned that off. I fixed it.

[3:46]Now, I'm just waiting for them to do

[3:47]whatever they do. It said that it can

[3:50]take a couple of days to up to a couple

[3:51]of weeks. I don't know which it's going

[3:53]to be. Hopefully, it won't be that

[3:55]long. A lot of my content is going to go

[3:57]behind that subscription service.

[4:00]I'm sharing my

[4:02]life in a way that most people don't and

[4:05]it is not received well by the general

[4:07]public. I want people who are willing to

[4:10]support me to watch and witness my life

[4:12]and that's it. And so I'm going to put

[4:14]it behind my subscription service.

[4:15]There's several different tiers. The

[4:17]cheapest one is $3 a month. It'll give

[4:19]you access to all my videos that are 90

[4:21]days or older. The next tier is $10 a

[4:24]month. That gives you access to all of

[4:26]my videos. And then there's two tiers

[4:27]above that are just for um providing

[4:30]more support if you want to. I think I

[4:32]made them for um I think 25 and 100 a

[4:35]month. I'm not sure. I don't

[4:38]remember. Um over time I'm going to

[4:40]build a website community uh that's

[4:43]going to share my thoughts in greater

[4:45]detail. The way that I communicate

[4:47]verbally versus

[4:49]um you know the written form is very

[4:51]different. I can go into a lot more

[4:53]depth with my thoughts in the written

[4:56]form. I'm going to do

[4:59]that cuz there's a lot that I think you

[5:02]can learn from me. And I think maybe

[5:05]just witnessing my life uh through this

[5:07]camera maybe doesn't help you as well as

[5:10]I wish it did. You know, maybe maybe

[5:12]there's another way. I'm going to

[5:15]try. So, that's number one. Um that's

[5:18]the ultimate path I want to go on.

[5:20]That's how I want my life to unfold. I

[5:23]don't want to continue being a freelance

[5:24]programmer. I have done it all of my

[5:26]life and I hate it. It nearly killed

[5:29]me. I know that not everyone understands

[5:32]that. But I'm not explaining myself

[5:34]anymore. I know what is right for me and

[5:36]what isn't. And I don't want to go down

[5:39]that path again. I have resisted it for

[5:41]16 months for a

[5:43]reason. But because I'm not getting the

[5:46]support I need, I have to do something.

[5:49]So, I'm going to try to find some

[5:51]freelancing projects to help me build up

[5:53]my savings

[5:54]again. Um, I don't know how that will

[5:57]unfold. I tried this a couple months ago

[5:59]and people weren't even looking at the

[6:01]proposals. I feel like the state of the

[6:04]economy, the world right

[6:07]now, things are not going well for

[6:09]anybody in any, you know, in any

[6:12]vertical or industry. Like

[6:16]there's on these freelancing platforms,

[6:19]they look for people in other countries

[6:21]that can do it for very cheap. They just

[6:24]want to take advantage of you. That's

[6:25]why I don't like it. They don't pay you

[6:27]on time. They pay you very little. They

[6:29]treat you badly. is not a good

[6:33]environment. And so when I make a

[6:36]proposal and I try to set them at

[6:38]reasonable prices that I'm worth, nobody

[6:42]responds to them. If I have to compete

[6:44]with people who can afford to work for

[6:46]$5 an hour, I'm not going to make it.

[6:50]And I don't know if it's going to be

[6:51]like that or not. We're going we're

[6:53]going to find

[6:54]out. Um the early indicators are that

[6:58]that's exactly what it's like now. So,

[7:00]and then with AI, you know, we are less

[7:03]than six months away from from it doing

[7:05]a lot of our programming for us.

[7:08]So, it's just going to reverberate

[7:10]through my industry, make freelancing

[7:13]even harder. It's not a path forward,

[7:17]but I will try to do it because I need a

[7:19]bridge to that to that future. But it is

[7:23]not the life I'm trying to create. I'm

[7:26]trying to create an energetic

[7:30]community that resonates with my life

[7:33]that I can that can support me and that

[7:35]I can

[7:37]support. You guys don't see it yet, but

[7:40]it's

[7:44]coming. And we're going to need each

[7:46]other. I keep saying this. I need you

[7:48]now. You're going to need me later.

Summary

rswfire arrives at a laundromat facility to find it unattended on Sunday, with locked showers and no staff present. He documents the pricing ($4-6 for washing, $5 for 30-minute drying) and plans to return Monday when staff should be available. He extends his off-grid National Forest campground stay until April 10th using donations, one day before his birthday, but lacks funds to continue beyond that date.

**Current situation:** Positioned at a $22/night off-grid campground on the Oregon coast in the Florence area, with plans to rotate between multiple campgrounds in the national recreation area for several months. Additional campgrounds open May 1st, allowing two-week stays at each location.

**Revenue streams:** His YouTube subscription service is temporarily disabled due to AdSense account issues, with tiers ranging from $3/month (90+ day old content) to $10/month (all content) plus higher support tiers at $25 and $100/month. He's developing a website community for written content that will provide more depth than his video format.

**Freelancing resistance:** Despite 16 months of avoiding freelance programming work due to its negative impact on his health, he's considering returning to it as a bridge solution. He describes the current freelancing market as exploitative, with clients seeking cheap overseas labor and AI threatening to automate programming work within six months.

**Community vision:** He frames his request for support as energy exchange rather than charity, emphasizing that viewers receive value from witnessing his authentic life sharing. He's building toward an energetic community model where current support will be reciprocated when others need assistance in the future.
