Motto: Don't waste, Less haste, More hummm. (hummingbird, humility, harmonics, harmony, humanity)
Turning what’s around you into what you need.
Turning what’s around you into what you need.
Core Idea:
If I’m the giver, I’m looking at what’s already there — in the street, the woods, a junk pile — and I’m asking, what can this become? Survivor McGiver is about making the most out of what’s at hand, adapting it for survival, comfort, or efficiency.
Something key for this brand and experience and part of my story is breaking routine and continuing to shift when you don't have to and convince that it develops certain type of ability namely self-control.
Why It Exists:
- Keep useful things out of the landfill.
- Build or repair without waiting on stores or suppliers.
- Stay adaptable, whether urban or in the wild.
Principles:
- Don’t waste. Everything has potential.
- Less haste. Take the time to do it right.
- More hum. Like the hummingbird, work fast but with purpose, efficiency, and beauty.
Examples from the Map:
- Rubber mats & blanket under apple tree near CBT Nuggets on Crescent.
- Public water spigot nearby (may be locked later).
- Reclaimed pallets and scrap wood from industrial zones.
Approach:
- Locate resources.
- Adapt them to a new purpose.
- s can benefit. and Emerald Brick Road, pulling only from what you’ve already said in our logs so it’s still 100% yours. Want me to roll straight into those?
This image is a creative and layered visual, likely representing a personal or brand identity. Here’s a breakdown of its elements:
Main Symbol: At the center, there’s an abstract blue and white figure with wave-like patterns and green diagonal slashes across it — almost like a camouflaged or elemental survivalist figure.
Lightbulb with Symbols: Above the head, there’s a lightbulb with a yellow lightning bolt and a green medical cross inside — possibly symbolizing innovative, health-conscious ideas or survival-focused ingenuity.
Feather: A colorful feather to the right could suggest lightness, creativity, or a connection to nature or indigenous elements.
Text Elements:
"SURVIVOR": Bold, uppercase with a 3D shadow effect — standing strong and resilient.
"McGiver": A clever play on "MacGyver", referencing resourcefulness, with a green play button in the “C”.
Tagline: “Don’t Waste. Less Haste. More Hummm.” — a beautifully rhythmic mantra promoting mindfulness, sustainability, and thoughtfulness.
This looks like branding for a creative sustainability or survival-themed project — possibly blending tech, eco-awareness, and personal philosophy. What’s the vision or story behind it?
