From the start, Ryan was very helpful and is continuing to be helpful about his th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans . Also, they have answered all the questions I have asked & I got outstanding support from his My Shed Plans full package.
As a kid working at a grocery store. Three of us knew this guy who dumpster dive our store so we made sure to have some extra good stuff and always something to drink.
I used to work at Starbucks. They threw away perfectly good packaged food every night on the closing shifts. We were told to throw the food away 3 days before the expiration date so some of us would take the food home ourselves instead of throwing it away. After all it tastes really good and it's healthy too. She's very resourceful to do that in my opinion.
it's ironic that people are remarking more on the fact that she is dumpster diving rather than the fact that so much fresh and edible food is thrown out, while so many people go hungry every day.
Kaya fresh and edible based on perception, sense of smell etc can be extremely misleading. The FDA doesn’t do an eye and sniff test when they grade food or allow it into the human consumption stream for a reason. She might get lucky most of the time but some things are thrown out due to Salmonella or contamination and one day she’ll regret the lifestyle with a ridiculous medical bill. This is why people in society frown upon dumpster diving, it really isn’t healthy for you believe it or not.
Sterling Mae and who cares not a single person also don’t say you cared enough to comment also nice way putting your personal experiences to good use in a youtube comment
She's a rock climber. She looks as healthy as every American rock climber I've ever seen...I'm pretty sure Rock climbing is also the most popular in the states, so...idk how many Americans you actually know, though.
Most of the comment is pro or against this as risky etc.. But the middle exist, have a part time job where you can build your experience and have free time to climb, plus if she is 18 it does not mean she will live forever like that! maybe a year, 2 or 3 and get bored or have enough of fun and look for a job.. my advice to do it after uni.
When I lived in Japan teaching English, the laws on expiration dates were strict. 7eleven for example would throw away fresh food in the back, stacked perfect for the homeless. Even the beer bottles had a little beer left in them, put neatly in plastic crates for the homeless and they were given no hassles from the police or owners. The homeless in Japan might live in a box, but it is ALWAYS clean and well kept. Some people can't deal with others in the working world. Many wonderful people who are homeless in Japan.
She's fit from climbing and shes smart and healthy. I don't see a problem with her living for free while the rest of us slave away for comfort she's figured out how to do what she loves everyday.
My brother was skinny, was eating crap from anywhere and was at the gym most of the time. Eventually he got sick and died simply because his body could not take longer of the exercising and extreme lifestyle. He was healthy until his body told him enough, and he was barely 40. One thing is to have a lifestyle for a while; but on the long run, you can't escape to the truth that the human body is made to be sustained in a certain way, with certain food and can be pushed only so far. Some may end up making it, but the majority won't.
@@shiitakestick Them ever getting hacked. Ever having server issues.. Someone like me who works with hot materials melting fingerprints. But ya know. I could just, not do that
I work at Starbucks and it’s insane how much food we throw away every single night! PERFECTLY good food, that we have no choice but to waste. Good call taking advantage of that 👍🏼
starbucks is destroying the world. I pick up trash in my spare time and non-biodegradable plastic starbucks cups and green straws are the majority of the garbage on the streets and in parks. A constant line of cars, with engines left running, at their drive-thru...it's an environmental disaster. This was even happening after the economy crashed in 2008. People were crying they were poor...yet, there they were, still lined up at the fucking drive-thru to pay 10+ bucks for a stupid coffee drink. Idiots.
taradead , I get a kick at all these soccer moms who are all about going green, recycling and saving the dolphins. Then I see them in their mini vans lined up 40 cars long at school pickup zones with their engines running for half an hour waiting for their kids to be let out.
I lived in my jeep for a month this summer, traveling the country, and Ranae's Element is set up practically the exact same way as my Jeep was. Seeing this really makes me miss living on the road! I love how she lives life her way, and she'll be able to survive through anything. Unlike the judgmental people in these comments.
My Jeep isn't paid off yet, so I needed to get back to work. I've never worked "gigs" or short term jobs like the girl in this video, but needing to make enough money for living/fuel plus making enough to cover my payment/car insurance isn't easy. Once the Jeeps paid off I'd love to be back on the road.
ah i see. thats exactly what scares me the most. how am i going to afford living a life like that without a real job. im currently in school for video editing, editing is something that can be done from any location as long as you have a laptop, but its still one of the few things that is holding me back.
Connor James smell, too... Lived and worked from my Honda C-RV from about July to Thanksgiving... I'm itching to get back to it. Anybody want to buy my '77 King's Highway, it's gonna be too big and not as mobile as I want, also buy my c-RV, have been n suv blow up, it can work if you r flexible I wanna go, but need van or short bus to rebuild. Yes, try to stay out of your car until you need to be in it, belly is smaller n happier if you do.
Connor James I did housecleaning and my gal was great with sending me out when I was available and in the area. Covered gas, basic target bill, insurance and even room rent for about 20 months b4 that deal ended, then the car was very usable, 2001 Honda C-RV, available for purchase, too btw... Craigslist has lots of opportunities for work, but check out their ref's if you're unsure... Go Live, sell your payment vehicle and purchase one you Can actually afford.
Companies dump a ton of fresh food that they couldn't sell for a certain of period time in order to control market price. The food that she got may be totally fine. Dont be a jerk
I'm all for living free but dumpster diving is a little ridiculous, like if she's preparing for an apocalyptic lifestyle..sure but it doesn't seem to be the case. Does a skinny girl like that REALLY need to dumpster dive? She could buy a bag of rice or some pasta and buy cheap produce and farmers markets or directly off farmers she passes by. Sure she's saving some money, but if she gets sick one time and ends up needing antibiotics and a doctor visit then their goes all her saved money.
So he opened the garbage bag and opened the plastic container and spit on the food Closed the container and tied the bag up again ...And the Mental Midget award go's to you today
freakyflow It's garbage, dumbass...even store employees are putting all sorts of disgusting things in there. You think they're running to the bathroom and flushing their tissues down the toilet every time they blow their nose?! Store employee or bum, I dont want a load of snot even on the plastic container my food comes in.
Your right they throw so much out that can be used to feed the homeless an hungry but they choose to throw it away I worked at pizza hut for 3 years an we were made to throw perfectly great food away
I wish I met you twenty-five years ago when I was a very dirty dirt bag climber travelling the world in order to climb and backcountry ski as often as possible - Keep it up, you will never regret it - though I have no savings whatsoever, and zero RRSPs and I am half way through my 50s now, I have zero regrets, I have followed my heart and here I am- climbed and skied on five continents , visited more than 50 countries, meet many wonderful , interesting people - I just wish I could start out and do it all over again lol - if more people followed their hearts and didn't buy into this con that our primary purpose is to acquire material objects, I am sure this world of ours would be a much happier and saner place - keep on keeping on!!! cheers from southern Ontario,
Yeah, is not that simple...this kind of live (with all the pros and cons) is only available in certain countrys (USA is one of a few) in wich the economic "wellness" of certain "zones" allow, the abundance you need to find "perfect" food in a dumpster, kinda living on Disney there...go more closer to the Mexican border and try to live like this...people are doing horrible jobs there just for survive!, they are not "greedy"...being greedy is for lucky people. So the point is: in order to live like this YOU NEED that most people work her fucking ass day to day, to generate abundance, is like...hitch-hiking: if there wasn't a guy working his ass off to keep his truck running...then you go nowhere.
@john connolly that is YOUR moral not hers nor any one else's but it is sage advice sure. Rare are folks with your luck or vision or skills or ambition at 18 years young.
Ranae appears to be loving her life. There is a lot of good food thrown out from anywhere that sells food. Ranae knows this and what we pay full price for, she gets for free. She looks so happy and is following her dream. I would love to see more videos about her lifestyle, all the best to her!
+Lucas Devlin You know, now you're becoming like a stalker and it's looking pretty crerpy. It wasn't good enough to put your little two cents in being ignorant just once but now I've read several of your unnecessarily ignorant postings and you're coming across like there's a mental problem. You think your ignorance is going to change her decisions? Obviously not. So because of your incessant ridicule of this young woman, I've now reported you.
Lucas Devlin Sorry you feel disgusted about someone who has an alternative lifestyle to yourself. FYI dogs do not eat their own crap and the food Ranae is eating is packaged and unopened. She is obviously healthy and happy, her good health speaks volumes. Maybe if you tried an alternative lifestyle you would be a happier person than you appear to be at the present time.
I love that you feature so many solo traveling women (and WOC!). Just a note on the dumpster driving as someone who's done it: be *very* careful. Yes, a LOT of businesses throw out perfectly good food regularly (Starbucks, Le Pain Quotidien, and other bakeries/cafés are notorious for this since they only sell foods prepared that morning). However, I've had friends who are pro dumpster divers fall extremely ill because they ate something they got dumpster diving that should have remained trash. I would stay away from dairy, meats, and eggs while diving. Stay safe!
Don't worry, I'm very safe when I choose to eat animal products or things that are no longer cold to the touch or otherwise have unknown/mystery thrown-out dates. It's a bummer your friends got sick, but it seems we're also getting more and more recalls of popular brands in stores or at restaurants/fast food chains for salmonella, e coli, etc. Just goes to show food isn't necessarily safe anywhere you get it. The nice thing about the dumpster diving is you know from the start that nobody is looking out for you, and your own health is completely in your hands. I make light of this in the video in order to encourage others to dive and demonstrate how accessible it can be, as well as showcase our exorbitant waste as a nation/world. But I totally agree: there are dangers, and you need to be aware and use common sense when diving.
totally depends on the dumpster--some are more hidden, some stores throw out most stuff in the morning during restocking... If it's inconspicuous to dive during the day, or you don't care about getting caught (though consider not, since it might ruin how "diveable" it is in future), then go for it. But usually night/after close is easier, and there's generally more stuff to find.
"I'm very safe" .... well, you think you are. I almost died due to food poisoning (listeriosis) and I am still recovering a full two years later. Food poisoning is an absolute real thing and can have very lasting consequences. It can also ravage the hell out of your body and kill you. I respect your lifestyle choices and I agree that there is a ton of needless waste in our society and you have found a way to take advantage of, but as someone who went through actual trauma due to contaminated food, your seeming invincible attitude comes off as naive at best and foolhardy at worst. There are times when it pays to be on the cautious side of things. Little bugs deserve our respect. You can not always sense or smell or taste bad food. Good luck and be well from a fellow lady climber/adventurer.
Thank you! Very inspirational. I'm currently searching for a van to travel in. I like what you said at the end. It is a scary endeavor but once you get going you learn the ropes and won't regret it.
When I was a grad student in Austin, I would often study at Sbux until they closed at night (I needed to use their internet, and I only bought a single coffee because I was so poor). Every night, the employees would get rid of the food that they couldn't keep for the next day, and they would give it to whoever wanted it. I was often the only person in there at that late hour, and I very much appreciated their gifts. Austin people are cool like that. Good times.
Wow, I am shocked to read those comments from you americans! How can most of you find it disgusting to eat food which is perfectly fine (mostly thrown away because of an extremly short best before-law, so the food is ggod but stores HAVE to throw it away) which would otherwise be wasted? In Germany it's quite a big movement and a great way of making a statement against food-waste. This has nothing to to with not being ABLE to pay for food!
sickerOr I was shocked at the responses too - in the uk the problem is being addressed by major supermarkets allowing this stuff to be used in community kitchens and to teach people how to make the best out of what's available. Even more amazing is the fact that the aside of dumpster diving seems to have completely overtaken the main subject! Thanks for some good ideas and a beautifully presented video.
actually in germany it has become quite a problem that supermarkets started to "hide" the rotten garbadge between the edible stuff to save on garbadge fees. and the community kitchens aren't allowed to be picky about the donated stuff, so in the end they themself had to spend the garbadgefee, which at some places lead to them paying more for the stuff than they would if they bought it. Luckily at least in my vicinity they had adressed the problem and most supermarkets followed.
And Dylan- just the fact that you interview people like Ranae Scott, and that your so non-judgemental and cool. Makes me glad I am a subscriber to your channel. Please keep up the good work. And I like your sense of humor. Which is one of the rea s on s I like Ranae Scott too.
Awesome! This looks like a great option for car camping trips! More affordable than a van and can double as a regular vehicle. Something I will totally look into more! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, people are wasteful and throw a lot of food away, but by her digging through trash, she adds to the stigma of people that live out of their cars and vans. She even says at 0:13 that "at the end of the day, we're animals." This is how the rest of the world perceives vanlife, and it's an unfair assessment. She's just perpetuating the stereotype.
I'm probably alot older then most on here. And I don't dumpster dive because I live way out in the country for now. But many who think it's yuck, or trashy or such, may someday find themselves very hungry in today's greedy world, and wasteful disposable society. Then, there are those, that WILL, survive and that do, care about our world. Another great video, and wise thoughts and words. My compliments to both of you for sharing. This is one I, will rewatch.
On Dumpster diving, this is my opinion. I used to be in the food industry, I dropped out of Culinary school, most of the "food rules" we have are extremely conservative which makes sense for liability reasons. I've found over the past couple years that in my experience as long as my body doesn't reject the food it's most likely safe to eat. I assume it's the same thing as listening to my intuition and that in the beginning it's hard to tell what your reaction to the food is, but the more aware I've become of how I am, the more reliable my judgement is. Would love to hear your opinion Edit: I couldn't figure out how to fit it into the edit but Ranae lives on 70-100% Dumpster food depending on what city she is in. She never sacrifices health for free food. If she isn't finding Veggies she will purchase them.
there is nothing wrong with it as long as you're not a dick about it. i've often gotten stuff from local shops or supermarkets which they would have thrown in the trash due to my jobs. i admit i've only taken veggies and fruits, which i can identify easily if they are still good or not, but if you are willing to spend more attention to it, i am pretty sure, you can use a lot of the other stuff just aswell .
She seems perfectly able to work and provide for herself, leave that for those who arent physically and mentally fit to have a job. Id feel like im taking someones else food by dumpster diving.
A person can be classed as successful if they wake up everyday and truly do what they want, I know copious amounts of people that are money rich in a job they detest and time poor wishing for a tiny amount of freedom, all that will happen is they have the biggest headstone in the cemetery... If you can make a life like this work, then go for it.
i definitely support dumpster diving, way too much food waste is generated in this world. Also i appreciate that the video title says "rock climber" instead of "female rock climber", most previous videos about females explicitly state that it's a woman, whereas the ones about men don't. Just no need to single them out =) great videos on this channel!
I completely stumbled onto this vid. But laughed my best laugh in a long time at the "I understand the metaphor of the keys breaks down right now...." thanks!! my day is much better already!!
A known fact is in France, they're required to donate any expired or soon to be expired foods for the less fortunate or homeless programs. According to my relatives, it works great.
Target a department store/grocery store does the same thing in the US. Here in Fort Myers, FL, they give all there expiring food to the local animal Sanctuaries. I can't speak for other stores, many of them don't care and are absolutely lazy.
I noticed lots of comments about my diving. I've written a pretty extensive article about it here, if you want to check it out: www.femmefringe.com/dumpster-talk/ For all of you who think I'm a nasty woman, let me clarify: hell YES I am! But just because I myself choose to eat and moan about "tampered with" (half-eaten) goods from various dumpsters (and bus-bins at restaurants), does not qualify dumpster-diving on the whole as "gross". If you think dumpster diving necessitates eating spoiled, touched, chewed on or in any way "bad" food, you are simply ignorant about how much perfectly good, edible, still-packaged food is wasted because of CAPITALISM. Before you get all pukey in your mouth, do a little research, eh? But I personally have very, very low standards. And I'm healthier and stronger than ever. hm... weird... what is it all mean? It means I'm going to keep doing it, haterz.
Keep doing your thing girl. You are living life, I mean, really getting out there and living it. You'll see more of the world and have wonderful adventures that most can only dream of as they slave away for their boss, for their bank, for the govt. Just keep doing you and keep smiling.
Ranae, don't pay attention to Lucas Devlin, like I responded to him, he is really a special kind of stupid. Keep doing what you are doing, you are much more worthwhile to our society than people like Lucas there.
You do your thing! I am a 66 year old retired woman who hopefully by this time next year will be traveling the roads and enjoying nature and life. My plan is to travel as cheaply and as long as I physically can. If that includes DDing, then so be it. These people want to be repulsed, then let them research our history and read up on how the Pilgrims turned to cannabalism. Dumpster food doesn't sound so bad now does it haters? Enjoy your happiness, I love your attitude!
Watching you show us your living necessities really makes me miss traveling the whole country. I really love three sisters up in bend OR. I'll tell people you haven't lived until you you been a dirt bag. One big lesson I have learned while on the road is you really and I mean you really learn to appreciate the small things in life ten times over. Life is climbing and keep climbing mother earth she loves it just as much as you do because you are the closest to her when sleeping at night looking at the stars and waking in the morning to have that first climb. Love your video! Peace! Be more giving and show more love always to your fellow human.
Not sure of what a couple of you commenters meant: key is a bad analogy (it's actually a really good analogy), or showing keys is analogous to telling your password (keys usually are easy to replicate from a picture).
Random tanget, you can 3D print keys from a photo now. Or just file one down from metal for all that matters. It's more due to the quality of photos and video people use these days. Scary. Next with 4k & soon 8k video, thumbprints.
"Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story." **Seeing you in the dumpster, instantly recalled that incredibly eye opening doc. Bravo, sister. Really applaud you, Ranae. You're living your life and loving it. Love the fact that you're consuming still edible / safe food.
I see a lot of close minded people in the comments, I would not expect that on a channel about people living outside of social norms. Guess that van life is starting to be considered somewhat "normal".
That is not what i meant. I just thought that people interested in such non conventional way of living would have understanding for someone that chooses to live in a different way. Plus what is wrong with the food? It is packaged and clearly good to eat. Now I am not saying that it is something I would do, although you never know, but i don't get why she gets so much hate for it.
Something that is interesting is that all that food is packaged in plastic and in the dumpster, so if someone like Ranae were to not eat it it wouldn't even decompose properly because it's sealed in plastic. Even if the food that she takes doesn't get eaten it atleast gets put into the compost and the plastic recycled. To me it seems like only a positive thing, Free food, less garbage.
+Lucas Devlin I would recommend then to research "freegans" for a whole other eye opening lifestyle, since you like to turn your nose up to other people's life choices.

Every food comes from dirt. Our consumeristic attitude has made us discard food suitable for human consumption as we find "flaws" in it. Stores should open a section where the "flawed" food can be given away instead of dumping. Shes living her life on her terms and she seems happy. Why are y'all judgemental?
Loved this video. I don't think I have ever commented on a TH-cam video.. in the 9? years I have been watching. I have been loving your videos Dylan and she is awesome!!
@Dylan Magaster I just really felt the need to tell you how much I enjoy and love your humor during your videos, you are so creative with your camera, you always get me laughing. Cheers!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I have been following you since you were feeding the homeless with Eric in NY..🗽 My guy and I are converting a shuttle bus, we move in full time in 10 days. Yeeaahhhhh!!!! It is a dream of mine to be in one of your videos with my tricked out on the cheap ride. She is amazing!!! You have inspired me sooooooo much through this process, that I owe you a huge THANK YOU!!!! Maybe we will see you out on the road sometime. My guy is an electric and manual bike mechanic and has a mini business he will be running out of our ride.. You are an awesome inspiration Dylan, you have been part of this huge change in my life. Keep making rad videos and rockin it Oregon style. I am native and am so glad you have been enjoying forest life. 😄
Dylan Magaster thanks for the reply!! Will do. No matter what, thank you so much for being an inspiration. Your videos gave us great motivation. See you on the flip side Dylan, possibly with an email of some photos. May your travels be safe 😁
I have countless dumpster diving videos on my channel and I plan to use it as a means to live van life as well. I think people are far too paranoid about food from dumpsters. I've been eating from dumpsters for over a year and I've never had a problem.
Wash it. As long as you don't leave rotting slime on it there's nothing wrong. We have hypocondriatic delusions about food safety. Our saliva is anti-bacterial/pathogen and there's more bacteria on the "clean' chips in our hand, than the bowl of dip someone just double-dipped into we're worried about.
I applaud you for living the kind of life that brings you joy. I am a volunteer at our local food bank Loaves & Fishes. A few grocery stores are big suppliers of food to our clients. Good food that is going to the people instead of into the garbage dump. Of course we still need cash donations to pay the few paid employees and for gas and truck and other equipment. It pleases me to be involved in a large organization that makes sure people are cared for and treated with respect. We all deserve that.
There is a lot to digest in this clip. First, I love my Honda, and it definitely made me think about upgrading from my old CRV to an Element for travel purposes. I also appreciate her resourcefulness in "upcycling" tossed food. At first I thought it was to save money, but I see a lot of expensive equipment (carbon fiber roof box, for example). I guess eating for free = more money in her pocket for equipment! Ranae certainly inspires me to get out on road trips more often!
I just want to put it put there that this is 'murica you can do (pretty much) whatever you want. Also, there was a guy on American ninja warrior this year and last year who lived in a van and ate put of dumpsters, and he is in great physical condidtion. If you see this dylan, please try to make a video about him. I also just commented this to show that eating out of a dumpster does not mean you are eating food that could make you sick.
Why waste it! If we could give all our good " throw away food" to homeless people before we binned it. People wouldnt be hungry. And we would look like heros helping those who needed it. But People with narrow minds think its disgusting. The reality is throw away better food than most countries get to ever see. Just cause its in a bag sealed doesnt mean its bad. Jesus wake up people and remember how lucky we are!
She is awesome.. following here feeling ..passion .intuition.. most people dont even come close to living their dreams.. they are all fluorized with calcified pineal glands.. you go girl..
Awesome. Living in Yosemite Valley back in the day I've seen foundational dirtbagging. You've got it dialed to a high level pro dirtbag level. Cool how you integrated a hippie-friendly ad for a digital service happily in your offering and got affiliate links and the works. Obviously you (and us) could make bank in the default world but freedom is priceless and worth paying a price for
I'm aware of the mindset behind dumpster diving, but I don't get why so many rock climbers are doing it. I am a rock climber myself, but I don't take my food out of dumpsters and I probably never will. Think about where your insanely expensive climbing equipment comes from. I know that for example Arc'teryx is manufacturing their equipment in Canada, but even they buy their materials from 3rd world countries, kinda supporting the troubles in such places. It get's even worse with companies such as Petzl and Black Diamond. Don't get me wrong, I own products of all of the named companies, but I am fully aware that rock climbing isn't as "green" as everyone thinks it is. Just growing long hair and living in a van doesn't make you eco-friendly. So dumpster diving for food is (in my opinion) just a thing because people feel guilty for owning such expensive and in most cases far from eco-friendly gear. I wouldn't be surprised if most of such dumpster-diver-climbers own a down jacket for example. (kind of a hypocrisy) We have a big dumpster-dive-movement in Switzerland, but what I really hate is that most of those "ecos" leave dumpsters and trashcans behind like a pack of dogs or foxes would. Trash everywhere, that's why most reataurants and companies over here need to lock their dumpsters. It's sad that we have to protect our trash better than our goods. (I work in the food industry as well) I'm not against it...but please at least clean up your mess. And don't shove it down my throat If you are a rock climber...You might do something good to the environment with your minimalistic lifestyle, but you make up for it with the next rope you buy...think about it.
You're describing the majority of America in one shape, way, form or other... We all know someone that is behind on rent, bills, etc but won't let that get in the way of their morning Starbucks, pack of cigarettes, Red Bull or an 1/8th of flower.... Because she chooses to prioritize differently means we look down on her? I think not.
I don't understand the problem with her diving for food? Personally, I probably wouldn't do it unless I had to. But if it works for her, more power to her.
For people who say the food in the dumpster is sealed and not expropriated. I believe that bacteria can still manage to contaminate the food specially if the packaging is damaged and most likely it is because is it in a dumpster.. plus how can you eat the food after u've smelled the garbage and still find it appealing.. I'd rather pay for food and yes we only live once.. food is pleasure
Actually i am very serious. I didnt sarcasm at all. She will always find a way for cheap living and save-money. Even if the case is cosmetic. Seeing this kind of girls really turns me on. A real life friend. much respect to her.
I've been searching for the elusive 2005 Honda Element with the duct tape trim. 😉 The comments fuel an interesting discussion with a focus on food and the waste especially in North America. CBC Marketplace did a segment on Walmart worth watching. Starbucks line ups may soon also be at the dumpsters too. ☕️ Thank you for another great video! Best wishes and happy climbing and diving! 🌄
I find her so inspirational. My best friend and I want to take a year off from school after we graduate to travel the U.S. and Canada as well. We are super stoked and can't wait for the memories and adventures together! We already have it planned out, what she wants to do for a living requires no college and mine only requires two. We plan to work together to be photographers and journalists to make the money we need to live.
Would van-life be possible without police, military, & border patrol ? It seems ironic that independence & autonomy is sought to distance oneself from the institutions from that which facilitate this type of life-style. Thoreau sought independence in at Walden pond but he was simultaneously reliant upon the industrialization he criticized. Living within our era seems impossible to fully escape.
no one could live in houses if there weren't military or police either, why does it change with a van other than each party would need to upsize their guns.
My new hero! What a cool girl who is boldly living a more sustainable life. Great story! I am inspired. And, this video is superbly shot and produced! ❤️
its funny people complain about all the food that's thrown away but also complain when someone eats the food that's thrown away.
Exactly! It's those double standards that causes the hypocrosy

Kaya fresh and edible based on perception, sense of smell etc can be extremely misleading. The FDA doesn’t do an eye and sniff test when they grade food or allow it into the human consumption stream for a reason. She might get lucky most of the time but some things are thrown out due to Salmonella or contamination and one day she’ll regret the lifestyle with a ridiculous medical bill. This is why people in society frown upon dumpster diving, it really isn’t healthy for you believe it or not.
People can talk shit all they want to, Ranae is ripped as fuck! Also she's fine as fuck too, the free spirit type of women are always hot!
Kaya amen
Sterling Mae and who cares not a single person also don’t say you cared enough to comment also nice way putting your personal experiences to good use in a youtube comment
@@Two_Wheel_Therapy ikr.
This woman eats out of garbage bins and looks healthier than most americans. Good Job!
mancubed
so true lmao
She's a rock climber. She looks as healthy as every American rock climber I've ever seen...I'm pretty sure Rock climbing is also the most popular in the states, so...idk how many Americans you actually know, though.
Most of the comment is pro or against this as risky etc.. But the middle exist, have a part time job where you can build your experience and have free time to climb, plus if she is 18 it does not mean she will live forever like that! maybe a year, 2 or 3 and get bored or have enough of fun and look for a job.. my advice to do it after uni.
Excellent point
When I lived in Japan teaching English, the laws on expiration dates were strict. 7eleven for example would throw away fresh food in the back, stacked perfect for the homeless. Even the beer bottles had a little beer left in them, put neatly in plastic crates for the homeless and they were given no hassles from the police or owners. The homeless in Japan might live in a box, but it is ALWAYS clean and well kept. Some people can't deal with others in the working world. Many wonderful people who are homeless in Japan.
..
This was very interesting to watch. I love how she’s just doing her and she seems pretty content and happier than people with the flashy lifestyle.
She's fit from climbing and shes smart and healthy. I don't see a problem with her living for free while the rest of us slave away for comfort she's figured out how to do what she loves everyday.
My brother was skinny, was eating crap from anywhere and was at the gym most of the time. Eventually he got sick and died simply because his body could not take longer of the exercising and extreme lifestyle. He was healthy until his body told him enough, and he was barely 40.
One thing is to have a lifestyle for a while; but on the long run, you can't escape to the truth that the human body is made to be sustained in a certain way, with certain food and can be pushed only so far. Some may end up making it, but the majority won't.
any reason not to get last pass ?
seems ingenious !
AMEN!!
You go girl
@@shiitakestick Them ever getting hacked. Ever having server issues.. Someone like me who works with hot materials melting fingerprints. But ya know. I could just, not do that
I work at Starbucks and it’s insane how much food we throw away every single night! PERFECTLY good food, that we have no choice but to waste. Good call taking advantage of that 👍🏼
Anda Dale why you are not taking those food with you ?
Anda Dale Nice there's a Starbucks across the street
starbucks is destroying the world. I pick up trash in my spare time and non-biodegradable plastic starbucks cups and green straws are the majority of the garbage on the streets and in parks. A constant line of cars, with engines left running, at their drive-thru...it's an environmental disaster. This was even happening after the economy crashed in 2008. People were crying they were poor...yet, there they were, still lined up at the fucking drive-thru to pay 10+ bucks for a stupid coffee drink. Idiots.
If Starbucks employees were found taking food home we would be fired immediately. It’s theft, unfortunately.
taradead , I get a kick at all these soccer moms who are all about going green, recycling and saving the dolphins. Then I see them in their mini vans lined up 40 cars long at school pickup zones with their engines running for half an hour waiting for their kids to be let out.
Waiting for someone to show their weed stash in one of these videos
OurRookieYear you know it's in there somewhere. Break it out before every climb
That's not "Advertiser Friendly"
Yup, can't earn the youtube money when showing weed in your videos. :(
Doom Wizard what about customgrow420
he gets money from sponsorships, CG420 hasn't been able to monetize for years now
Awesome video. Super inspiring for my own soon to be travels!
I lived in my jeep for a month this summer, traveling the country, and Ranae's Element is set up practically the exact same way as my Jeep was. Seeing this really makes me miss living on the road! I love how she lives life her way, and she'll be able to survive through anything. Unlike the judgmental people in these comments.
if i may ask, if you miss it, why did you stop?
My Jeep isn't paid off yet, so I needed to get back to work. I've never worked "gigs" or short term jobs like the girl in this video, but needing to make enough money for living/fuel plus making enough to cover my payment/car insurance isn't easy. Once the Jeeps paid off I'd love to be back on the road.
ah i see. thats exactly what scares me the most. how am i going to afford living a life like that without a real job. im currently in school for video editing, editing is something that can be done from any location as long as you have a laptop, but its still one of the few things that is holding me back.
Connor James smell, too... Lived and worked from my Honda C-RV from about July to Thanksgiving... I'm itching to get back to it. Anybody want to buy my '77 King's Highway, it's gonna be too big and not as mobile as I want, also buy my c-RV, have been n suv blow up, it can work if you r flexible I wanna go, but need van or short bus to rebuild.
Yes, try to stay out of your car until you need to be in it, belly is smaller n happier if you do.
Connor James I did housecleaning and my gal was great with sending me out when I was available and in the area. Covered gas, basic target bill, insurance and even room rent for about 20 months b4 that deal ended, then the car was very usable, 2001 Honda C-RV, available for purchase, too btw...
Craigslist has lots of opportunities for work, but check out their ref's if you're unsure... Go Live, sell your payment vehicle and purchase one you Can actually afford.
As a female wanting to start van life, this really spoke to me. Thank you
Did you?
Companies dump a ton of fresh food that they couldn't sell for a certain of period time in order to control market price. The food that she got may be totally fine. Dont be a jerk
...except for that big snot-wad some wino bum spit on it.
I'm all for living free but dumpster diving is a little ridiculous, like if she's preparing for an apocalyptic lifestyle..sure but it doesn't seem to be the case. Does a skinny girl like that REALLY need to dumpster dive? She could buy a bag of rice or some pasta and buy cheap produce and farmers markets or directly off farmers she passes by. Sure she's saving some money, but if she gets sick one time and ends up needing antibiotics and a doctor visit then their goes all her saved money.
So he opened the garbage bag and opened the plastic container and spit on the food Closed the container and tied the bag up again ...And the Mental Midget award go's to you today
freakyflow It's garbage, dumbass...even store employees are putting all sorts of disgusting things in there. You think they're running to the bathroom and flushing their tissues down the toilet every time they blow their nose?! Store employee or bum, I dont want a load of snot even on the plastic container my food comes in.
Your right they throw so much out that can be used to feed the homeless an hungry but they choose to throw it away I worked at pizza hut for 3 years an we were made to throw perfectly great food away
I wish I met you twenty-five years ago when I was a very dirty dirt bag climber travelling the world in order to climb and backcountry ski as often as possible - Keep it up, you will never regret it - though I have no savings whatsoever, and zero RRSPs and I am half way through my 50s now, I have zero regrets, I have followed my heart and here I am- climbed and skied on five continents , visited more than 50 countries, meet many wonderful , interesting people - I just wish I could start out and do it all over again lol - if more people followed their hearts and didn't buy into this con that our primary purpose is to acquire material objects, I am sure this world of ours would be a much happier and saner place - keep on keeping on!!! cheers from southern Ontario,
john connolly there’s many ways not use a few!
Yeah, is not that simple...this kind of live (with all the pros and cons) is only available in certain countrys (USA is one of a few) in wich the economic "wellness" of certain "zones" allow, the abundance you need to find "perfect" food in a dumpster, kinda living on Disney there...go more closer to the Mexican border and try to live like this...people are doing horrible jobs there just for survive!, they are not "greedy"...being greedy is for lucky people.
So the point is: in order to live like this YOU NEED that most people work her fucking ass day to day, to generate abundance, is like...hitch-hiking: if there wasn't a guy working his ass off to keep his truck running...then you go nowhere.
@john connolly that is YOUR moral not hers nor any one else's but it is sage advice sure. Rare are folks with your luck or vision or skills or ambition at 18 years young.
Ranae appears to be loving her life. There is a lot of good food thrown out from anywhere that sells food. Ranae knows this and what we pay full price for, she gets for free. She looks so happy and is following her dream. I would love to see more videos about her lifestyle, all the best to her!
Shavauna Ronan yeah and she seems happy and happiness matter first so good fr her!
+Lucas Devlin You know, now you're becoming like a stalker and it's looking pretty crerpy. It wasn't good enough to put your little two cents in being ignorant just once but now I've read several of your unnecessarily ignorant postings and you're coming across like there's a mental problem. You think your ignorance is going to change her decisions? Obviously not. So because of your incessant ridicule of this young woman, I've now reported you.
Lucas Devlin Sorry you feel disgusted about someone who has an alternative lifestyle to yourself.
FYI dogs do not eat their own crap and the food Ranae is eating is packaged and unopened. She is obviously healthy and happy, her good health speaks volumes.
Maybe if you tried an alternative lifestyle you would be a happier person than you appear to be at the present time.
+Lucas Devlin You must be a child, you're certainly posting like one.
Shavauna Ronan She a real whole ,woman.
I love that you feature so many solo traveling women (and WOC!). Just a note on the dumpster driving as someone who's done it: be *very* careful. Yes, a LOT of businesses throw out perfectly good food regularly (Starbucks, Le Pain Quotidien, and other bakeries/cafés are notorious for this since they only sell foods prepared that morning). However, I've had friends who are pro dumpster divers fall extremely ill because they ate something they got dumpster diving that should have remained trash. I would stay away from dairy, meats, and eggs while diving. Stay safe!
Don't worry, I'm very safe when I choose to eat animal products or things that are no longer cold to the touch or otherwise have unknown/mystery thrown-out dates. It's a bummer your friends got sick, but it seems we're also getting more and more recalls of popular brands in stores or at restaurants/fast food chains for salmonella, e coli, etc. Just goes to show food isn't necessarily safe anywhere you get it. The nice thing about the dumpster diving is you know from the start that nobody is looking out for you, and your own health is completely in your hands. I make light of this in the video in order to encourage others to dive and demonstrate how accessible it can be, as well as showcase our exorbitant waste as a nation/world. But I totally agree: there are dangers, and you need to be aware and use common sense when diving.
Hey, is there a time of day that is better? morning or end of day?
totally depends on the dumpster--some are more hidden, some stores throw out most stuff in the morning during restocking... If it's inconspicuous to dive during the day, or you don't care about getting caught (though consider not, since it might ruin how "diveable" it is in future), then go for it. But usually night/after close is easier, and there's generally more stuff to find.
Ranae Scott cool thanks. Have always wanted to dive.
"I'm very safe" .... well, you think you are. I almost died due to food poisoning (listeriosis) and I am still recovering a full two years later. Food poisoning is an absolute real thing and can have very lasting consequences. It can also ravage the hell out of your body and kill you. I respect your lifestyle choices and I agree that there is a ton of needless waste in our society and you have found a way to take advantage of, but as someone who went through actual trauma due to contaminated food, your seeming invincible attitude comes off as naive at best and foolhardy at worst. There are times when it pays to be on the cautious side of things. Little bugs deserve our respect. You can not always sense or smell or taste bad food. Good luck and be well from a fellow lady climber/adventurer.
That might have been the coolest way I've ever seen a sponsor being introduced, great job on that!
I've seen a good amount of dumpster diving video's, I still find it amazing what gets thrown away on almost a daily bases.
Thank you! Very inspirational. I'm currently searching for a van to travel in. I like what you said at the end. It is a scary endeavor but once you get going you learn the ropes and won't regret it.
When I was a grad student in Austin, I would often study at Sbux until they closed at night (I needed to use their internet, and I only bought a single coffee because I was so poor). Every night, the employees would get rid of the food that they couldn't keep for the next day, and they would give it to whoever wanted it. I was often the only person in there at that late hour, and I very much appreciated their gifts. Austin people are cool like that. Good times.
Wow, I am shocked to read those comments from you americans! How can most of you find it disgusting to eat food which is perfectly fine (mostly thrown away because of an extremly short best before-law, so the food is ggod but stores HAVE to throw it away) which would otherwise be wasted? In Germany it's quite a big movement and a great way of making a statement against food-waste. This has nothing to to with not being ABLE to pay for food!
sickerOr I was shocked at the responses too - in the uk the problem is being addressed by major supermarkets allowing this stuff to be used in community kitchens and to teach people how to make the best out of what's available. Even more amazing is the fact that the aside of dumpster diving seems to have completely overtaken the main subject! Thanks for some good ideas and a beautifully presented video.
actually in germany it has become quite a problem that supermarkets started to "hide" the rotten garbadge between the edible stuff to save on garbadge fees. and the community kitchens aren't allowed to be picky about the donated stuff, so in the end they themself had to spend the garbadgefee, which at some places lead to them paying more for the stuff than they would if they bought it.
Luckily at least in my vicinity they had adressed the problem and most supermarkets followed.
I'm American and I agree with you guys. We live in a time where everything seems expendable. It's tragic really.
Even though your right. I have to defend America so... your stupid
wait, what? i would love to hear an explanation for that statement. i can't find any basis to support it, so please, be my guest to explain it to me.
And Dylan- just the fact that you interview people like Ranae Scott, and that your so non-judgemental and cool. Makes me glad I am a subscriber to your channel. Please keep up the good work. And I like your sense of humor. Which is one of the rea s on s I like Ranae Scott too.
Just trying to keep it real. Thanks Bill
Awesome! This looks like a great option for car camping trips! More affordable than a van and can double as a regular vehicle. Something I will totally look into more! Thanks for sharing!
There are some pretty epic Element builds out there. Ranae likes to keep it simple.
I've gone dumpster diving and it's amazing how much food is thrown out!
Whyyyy
Ivan Lwanga free food! You can pretty easily tell if something is still good just by looking at it.
Yes, people are wasteful and throw a lot of food away, but by her digging through trash, she adds to the stigma of people that live out of their cars and vans. She even says at 0:13 that "at the end of the day, we're animals." This is how the rest of the world perceives vanlife, and it's an unfair assessment. She's just perpetuating the stereotype.
Poor you. Woman can’t dumpsterdive because it makes jason look bad. Get over yourself dude.
I'm probably alot older then most on here. And I don't dumpster dive because I live way out in the country for now.
But many who think it's yuck, or trashy or such, may someday find themselves very hungry in today's greedy world, and wasteful disposable society.
Then, there are those, that WILL, survive and that do, care about our world.
Another great video, and wise thoughts and words. My compliments to both of you for sharing. This is one I, will rewatch.
I work at Starbucks and it's heartbreaking to see how much food we throw away
Can workers take some?
Mohamad Okab no, were not aloud to
Part of why I after I left starbucks I decided not to go back
I am glad to know maybe a few people can benefit.
On Dumpster diving, this is my opinion. I used to be in the food industry, I dropped out of Culinary school, most of the "food rules" we have are extremely conservative which makes sense for liability reasons. I've found over the past couple years that in my experience as long as my body doesn't reject the food it's most likely safe to eat. I assume it's the same thing as listening to my intuition and that in the beginning it's hard to tell what your reaction to the food is, but the more aware I've become of how I am, the more reliable my judgement is. Would love to hear your opinion
Edit: I couldn't figure out how to fit it into the edit but Ranae lives on 70-100% Dumpster food depending on what city she is in. She never sacrifices health for free food. If she isn't finding Veggies she will purchase them.
So you eat food out the trash ?
I have, it's not a regular occurrence for me
there is nothing wrong with it as long as you're not a dick about it. i've often gotten stuff from local shops or supermarkets which they would have thrown in the trash due to my jobs. i admit i've only taken veggies and fruits, which i can identify easily if they are still good or not, but if you are willing to spend more attention to it, i am pretty sure, you can use a lot of the other stuff just aswell
.
Use common sense. Lots of food is still good even out of date. Remember, profit drives expiration dates also.
She seems perfectly able to work and provide for herself, leave that for those who arent physically and mentally fit to have a job. Id feel like im taking someones else food by dumpster diving.
A person can be classed as successful if they wake up everyday and truly do what they want, I know copious amounts of people that are money rich in a job they detest and time poor wishing for a tiny amount of freedom, all that will happen is they have the biggest headstone in the cemetery... If you can make a life like this work, then go for it.
i definitely support dumpster diving, way too much food waste is generated in this world. Also i appreciate that the video title says "rock climber" instead of "female rock climber", most previous videos about females explicitly state that it's a woman, whereas the ones about men don't. Just no need to single them out =) great videos on this channel!
I completely stumbled onto this vid. But laughed my best laugh in a long time at the "I understand the metaphor of the keys breaks down right now...." thanks!! my day is much better already!!
A known fact is in France, they're required to donate any expired or soon to be expired foods for the less fortunate or homeless programs. According to my relatives, it works great.
Target a department store/grocery store does the same thing in the US. Here in Fort Myers, FL, they give all there expiring food to the local animal Sanctuaries. I can't speak for other stores, many of them don't care and are absolutely lazy.
LOVE your self-created advertisement, miles, no light-years better than TH-cam's bs. Much love!
I noticed lots of comments about my diving. I've written a pretty extensive article about it here, if you want to check it out: www.femmefringe.com/dumpster-talk/
For all of you who think I'm a nasty woman, let me clarify: hell YES I am!
But just because I myself choose to eat and moan about "tampered with" (half-eaten) goods from various dumpsters (and bus-bins at restaurants), does not qualify dumpster-diving on the whole as "gross". If you think dumpster diving necessitates eating spoiled, touched, chewed on or in any way "bad" food, you are simply ignorant about how much perfectly good, edible, still-packaged food is wasted because of CAPITALISM. Before you get all pukey in your mouth, do a little research, eh?
But I personally have very, very low standards. And I'm healthier and stronger than ever. hm... weird... what is it all mean? It means I'm going to keep doing it, haterz.
Keep doing your thing girl. You are living life, I mean, really getting out there and living it. You'll see more of the world and have wonderful adventures that most can only dream of as they slave away for their boss, for their bank, for the govt. Just keep doing you and keep smiling.
She does work, when she wants to. How about you learn some manners you minging troll.
Ranae, don't pay attention to Lucas Devlin, like I responded to him, he is really a special kind of stupid. Keep doing what you are doing, you are much more worthwhile to our society than people like Lucas there.
Ranae Scott You nasty. Fair play though
You do your thing! I am a 66 year old retired woman who hopefully by this time next year will be traveling the roads and enjoying nature and life. My plan is to travel as cheaply and as long as I physically can. If that includes DDing, then so be it. These people want to be repulsed, then let them research our history and read up on how the Pilgrims turned to cannabalism. Dumpster food doesn't sound so bad now does it haters? Enjoy your happiness, I love your attitude!
Watching you show us your living necessities really makes me miss traveling the whole country. I really love three sisters up in bend OR. I'll tell people you haven't lived until you you been a dirt bag. One big lesson I have learned while on the road is you really and I mean you really learn to appreciate the small things in life ten times over. Life is climbing and keep climbing mother earth she loves it just as much as you do because you are the closest to her when sleeping at night looking at the stars and waking in the morning to have that first climb. Love your video! Peace! Be more giving and show more love always to your fellow human.
'We all have lots of passwords'
*shows keys*
shows major keys
Today's word of the day: metaphor
Not sure of what a couple of you commenters meant: key is a bad analogy (it's actually a really good analogy), or showing keys is analogous to telling your password (keys usually are easy to replicate from a picture).
Haha, I know. Wtf right??
Random tanget, you can 3D print keys from a photo now. Or just file one down from metal for all that matters. It's more due to the quality of photos and video people use these days. Scary.
Next with 4k & soon 8k video, thumbprints.
"Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story." **Seeing you in the dumpster, instantly recalled that incredibly eye opening doc. Bravo, sister.
Really applaud you, Ranae. You're living your life and loving it.
Love the fact that you're consuming still edible / safe food.
I see a lot of close minded people in the comments, I would not expect that on a channel about people living outside of social norms. Guess that van life is starting to be considered somewhat "normal".
That is not what i meant. I just thought that people interested in such non conventional way of living would have understanding for someone that chooses to live in a different way. Plus what is wrong with the food? It is packaged and clearly good to eat. Now I am not saying that it is something I would do, although you never know, but i don't get why she gets so much hate for it.
Something that is interesting is that all that food is packaged in plastic and in the dumpster, so if someone like Ranae were to not eat it it wouldn't even decompose properly because it's sealed in plastic. Even if the food that she takes doesn't get eaten it atleast gets put into the compost and the plastic recycled. To me it seems like only a positive thing, Free food, less garbage.
+Lucas Devlin I would recommend then to research "freegans" for a whole other eye opening lifestyle, since you like to turn your nose up to other people's life choices.

packed and clearly good to eat..? you crazy man..! one day you end up in the ER..!
I drove in my friends Honda Element and LOVED it. It's a great car and very spacious. I love the dumpster diving and frugal tips. Thanks!
i dig it, better to eat the food than let it just sit in the dang landfill. her body is sick 😍. makes me want to go rock climbing right now.
Oh Dylan. I saved this one for your ad alone. Wish all ads were so creative and amusing!!
Every food comes from dirt. Our consumeristic attitude has made us discard food suitable for human consumption as we find "flaws" in it. Stores should open a section where the "flawed" food can be given away instead of dumping. Shes living her life on her terms and she seems happy. Why are y'all judgemental?
Hats off to ya girl!!! Coloring outside the lines freak most people out. You are the exception and I think its bad ass!!! Happy travels Ranae
Yaaass!! Dumpster diving is so helpful to have more freedom! Love this channel Dylan. Hoping to live van life in about a year or so 😊❤️
Nasty 🤢 only a white girl would do this
Youre not ok
nice build! the footage at the end was fantastic! the dust, the light, perfect!
That was the funniest ad clip (LastPass) ever! Great work making an ad work so well in a video!
Best advertisement ever
I don't even mind your promos because you do it SUPER entertainingly
Very nice job on the advert Dylan...did you script that?
kinda
Every video you make is flawless. I have to stop myself from spending a whole day watching
I never forget my thumb print too! So easy
Loved this video. I don't think I have ever commented on a TH-cam video.. in the 9? years I have been watching. I have been loving your videos Dylan and she is awesome!!
first sponsored ad ive actually enjoyed
@Dylan Magaster
I just really felt the need to tell you how much I enjoy and love your humor during your videos, you are so creative with your camera, you always get me laughing.
Cheers!
I don't always think I'm free when I am, but when I do, I love commercials in the middle of my content.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I have been following you since you were feeding the homeless with Eric in NY..🗽 My guy and I are converting a shuttle bus, we move in full time in 10 days. Yeeaahhhhh!!!! It is a dream of mine to be in one of your videos with my tricked out on the cheap ride. She is amazing!!! You have inspired me sooooooo much through this process, that I owe you a huge THANK YOU!!!! Maybe we will see you out on the road sometime. My guy is an electric and manual bike mechanic and has a mini business he will be running out of our ride.. You are an awesome inspiration Dylan, you have been part of this huge change in my life. Keep making rad videos and rockin it Oregon style. I am native and am so glad you have been enjoying forest life. 😄
Big love! Shoot me an email sometime with photos of your rig! business@dylanmagaster.com
Dylan Magaster thanks for the reply!! Will do. No matter what, thank you so much for being an inspiration. Your videos gave us great motivation. See you on the flip side Dylan, possibly with an email of some photos. May your travels be safe 😁
I always wanted to try climbing.
Just do it, try it out for 6 months at an indoor gym. Edit: maybe after covid
Me too
Yea it looks cool
@@jackobrien7135 it’s so fucking fun
Yea me too
Omg. I never comment but that last pass commercial just made my morning. So cute.
This girl is straight up dumpster diving!! LOL 😂 right on!!
loving her personality =) so refreshing, just doing her thing
I have countless dumpster diving videos on my channel and I plan to use it as a means to live van life as well. I think people are far too paranoid about food from dumpsters. I've been eating from dumpsters for over a year and I've never had a problem.
Not sanitary to to that, you will eventually get sick
Jay L. Just shut up if you obviously don't know what you're talking about, PLEASE.
You think its hygenic to eat food from a dumpster?
Wash it. As long as you don't leave rotting slime on it there's nothing wrong. We have hypocondriatic delusions about food safety. Our saliva is anti-bacterial/pathogen and there's more bacteria on the "clean' chips in our hand, than the bowl of dip someone just double-dipped into we're worried about.
Do you think food can't be hygenic just because it is? It's permanently defiled and unsafe?
The AD read was extremely entertaining and great made me not skip it, first time ive EVER not skipped a sponsored ad
People critisize because they are envious of your courage to do you. Just chickens 'cleverly' disguised.
I applaud you for living the kind of life that brings you joy. I am a volunteer at our local food bank Loaves & Fishes. A few grocery stores are big suppliers of food to our clients. Good food that is going to the people instead of into the garbage dump. Of course we still need cash donations to pay the few paid employees and for gas and truck and other equipment. It pleases me to be involved in a large organization that makes sure people are cared for and treated with respect. We all deserve that.
Starbucks throws out a lot of food! Even if it's not expired. FYI
Aldis here in Florida the same
Don't give this bum any tips, she should be eating food that isn't in the trash
Why?
If is not expired ?still good..? it could be out of the freezer for long time ..! like steak..veggies..eggs..fruit..milk..
There is a lot to digest in this clip. First, I love my Honda, and it definitely made me think about upgrading from my old CRV to an Element for travel purposes. I also appreciate her resourcefulness in "upcycling" tossed food. At first I thought it was to save money, but I see a lot of expensive equipment (carbon fiber roof box, for example). I guess eating for free = more money in her pocket for equipment! Ranae certainly inspires me to get out on road trips more often!
I just want to put it put there that this is 'murica you can do (pretty much) whatever you want. Also, there was a guy on American ninja warrior this year and last year who lived in a van and ate put of dumpsters, and he is in great physical condidtion. If you see this dylan, please try to make a video about him. I also just commented this to show that eating out of a dumpster does not mean you are eating food that could make you sick.
Correction: White Americans can get away with doing just about anything, whether that's immorally wrong or not
lol ok just becuse we send you back home now ....
Your ad though! I rarely say that a youtube ad makes me laugh, so good job on that :)
Why waste it! If we could give all our good " throw away food" to homeless people before we binned it. People wouldnt be hungry. And we would look like heros helping those who needed it. But People with narrow minds think its disgusting. The reality is throw away better food than most countries get to ever see. Just cause its in a bag sealed doesnt mean its bad. Jesus wake up people and remember how lucky we are!
first time watching one of your vlogs . excellent production quality and captivating topics . oh , and the host is very entertaining ! subscribed .
Dylan Magaster the type of guy to enter a sewer and look for the ninja turtles home.
You're not wrong.
There's a lot more room in that Element than I thought. Thanks for sharing...Good stuff!
Damn, she looks better than all the youtube fitness chicks who spend their entire life measuring and counting everything they eat.
She is awesome.. following here feeling ..passion .intuition.. most people dont even come close to living their dreams.. they are all fluorized with calcified pineal glands.. you go girl..
The giveaway of living in a vehicle is solar panels. Always solar panels.
Awesome. Living in Yosemite Valley back in the day I've seen foundational dirtbagging. You've got it dialed to a high level pro dirtbag level. Cool how you integrated a hippie-friendly ad for a digital service happily in your offering and got affiliate links and the works. Obviously you (and us) could make bank in the default world but freedom is priceless and worth paying a price for
I'm aware of the mindset behind dumpster diving, but I don't get why so many rock climbers are doing it. I am a rock climber myself, but I don't take my food out of dumpsters and I probably never will. Think about where your insanely expensive climbing equipment comes from. I know that for example Arc'teryx is manufacturing their equipment in Canada, but even they buy their materials from 3rd world countries, kinda supporting the troubles in such places. It get's even worse with companies such as Petzl and Black Diamond. Don't get me wrong, I own products of all of the named companies, but I am fully aware that rock climbing isn't as "green" as everyone thinks it is. Just growing long hair and living in a van doesn't make you eco-friendly. So dumpster diving for food is (in my opinion) just a thing because people feel guilty for owning such expensive and in most cases far from eco-friendly gear. I wouldn't be surprised if most of such dumpster-diver-climbers own a down jacket for example. (kind of a hypocrisy) We have a big dumpster-dive-movement in Switzerland, but what I really hate is that most of those "ecos" leave dumpsters and trashcans behind like a pack of dogs or foxes would. Trash everywhere, that's why most reataurants and companies over here need to lock their dumpsters. It's sad that we have to protect our trash better than our goods. (I work in the food industry as well) I'm not against it...but please at least clean up your mess. And don't shove it down my throat If you are a rock climber...You might do something good to the environment with your minimalistic lifestyle, but you make up for it with the next rope you buy...think about it.
Yeah...well...that's just, like, your opinion, man...
A true adventurer and surviver and I really admire and respect your way of living. Greetings from Belgium 👍 to Ranae 😄
Spend loads of money in climbing gear - and look for food in the trash - priorities....
exactly.
Ranae Scott I believe that she is much healthier than many of you, including me! I LOVE her lifestyle! 😍
You're describing the majority of America in one shape, way, form or other... We all know someone that is behind on rent, bills, etc but won't let that get in the way of their morning Starbucks, pack of cigarettes, Red Bull or an 1/8th of flower.... Because she chooses to prioritize differently means we look down on her? I think not.
Baking Recipes Manisha what ? I though the healthiest food must be fried in allot of oil for the good transfats!😎
You're naive at best. I hope sometime you realize how passionate some climbers are.
More power to you Ranae!
I found a condom in the dumpster. I was in good condition. I've used it several times.
Good man, Save the environment.
😂
Did you put it back in the dumpster afterwards for the next man ?
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
I love your enery, your love for climbing and living the life the way you do. You're so clever!
I don't understand the problem with her diving for food?
Personally, I probably wouldn't do it unless I had to. But if it works for her, more power to her.
More power to you! Follow your passion and live life to the fullest. Awesome video!
For people who say the food in the dumpster is sealed and not expropriated. I believe that bacteria can still manage to contaminate the food specially if the packaging is damaged and most likely it is because is it in a dumpster..
plus how can you eat the food after u've smelled the garbage and still find it appealing.. I'd rather pay for food and yes we only live once.. food is pleasure
Farah Aqel There is contaminated food ON THE SHELF too. She's not getting food that's been in a dumpster for days and days
Man she got so many dirtbag points with that opening dumpster scene.
how did i get here? i was listening to music... what?
Dylan that was an excellent key commercial. It looked professionally done. I was impressed and it takes a lot to impress me.

My dream girl
your dream girl is a trash-diving hobo?
djvbervuib3irv3r YES even I got huge crush on her. Perhaps because I always get attracted towards girls totally opposite to me.
Actually i am very serious. I didnt sarcasm at all.
She will always find a way for cheap living and save-money. Even if the case is cosmetic. Seeing this kind of girls really turns me on.
A real life friend.
much respect to her.
Better than being a Gold digging Bitch like most of the girls. :P
mine to she is a real woman(":
nothing but love for this lady, wish her the best luck always x
She gotta smell like feet 😂😂😂
Ty Laititi and dumpster
Ty Laititi right!!!
😂😂😂 OMLOVE!!
I've been searching for the elusive 2005 Honda Element with the duct tape trim. 😉 The comments fuel an interesting discussion with a focus on food and the waste especially in North America. CBC Marketplace did a segment on Walmart worth watching. Starbucks line ups may soon also be at the dumpsters too. ☕️ Thank you for another great video! Best wishes and happy climbing and diving! 🌄
I can’t even imagine what the inside of that Honda smells like...
horses and vomit
Pussy
I find her so inspirational. My best friend and I want to take a year off from school after we graduate to travel the U.S. and Canada as well. We are super stoked and can't wait for the memories and adventures together! We already have it planned out, what she wants to do for a living requires no college and mine only requires two. We plan to work together to be photographers and journalists to make the money we need to live.
Yeah, that's going to be a no from me, dawg.
Omg!! I have the same thing in the back of my dodge minivan! I thought I was the only one to pimp out a vehicle so small! Nope! Love this!
Would van-life be possible without police, military, & border patrol ? It seems ironic that independence & autonomy is sought to distance oneself from the institutions from that which facilitate this type of life-style. Thoreau sought independence in at Walden pond but he was simultaneously reliant upon the industrialization he criticized. Living within our era seems impossible to fully escape.
no one could live in houses if there weren't military or police either, why does it change with a van other than each party would need to upsize their guns.
My new hero! What a cool girl who is boldly living a more sustainable life. Great story! I am inspired. And, this video is superbly shot and produced! ❤️
I see that graduating from college with a useless degree hits some worse than others
lol true
i see that watching someone live their happiest life hits some haters worse than others
