https://youtube.com/channel/UCqsdzXbeM5HWwfPBenXRIWQ This is a channel by Spencer Campbell about frugality, anti-consumerism, and appropriate use of technology. I love road tripping, van life, and simple living. If I review a product it is because I think it will be a truly Buy-It-For-Life (BIFL) item and it will be the last time you'll buy that item. I want long-lastingness and quality from the items I consume, and I will speak to that. I am also interested in alternative lifestyle options and my intention is to provide information around these topics in an authentic way.

Bloody 105 Well I'll tell you right now, truckin's got its thrills But right about now friend, I've had my fill Of rolling up and down the Gatineau Hills But I've gotta keep rolling, gotta pay them bills So I roll all day and I roll all night Caffeinated to the bone just to feel alright With nothing but the glow of the trucks headlights Until the end of the road might come in sight You'll never get me off of this road alive... Bloody 105 You'll never get me off of this road alive... Bloody 105 Night turns to light, and with the break of day I may reach my destination, maybe get away But I'll soon be out again, I've gotta get that pay Looks like 105 and I are bound to stay Can't tell if it's the road or the job that's worse Is it the old black-top or me who's cursed? I might as well be rolling around in a hearse Cause I'll be rolling cent-cinq 'long as I roam the earth You'll never get me off of this road alive... Bloody 105 You'll never get me off of this road alive...
