Oh I certainly would! I might be a little more cautious about disease because their immune system might now be as strong as mine...but then again, the only way for it to get stronger is allow for them to "get sick"...not that I would force them to get a disease of course. (we pamper ourselves and babies way too much if you ask me!)
I've found plenty of fresh fruits and veggies that they could partake in as well. Not only that, like I said, Ive found kids toys, and I'm sure i would find some crib stuff or even a carriage!
Hopefully though, I will be in a situation when I have kids where there wont be any dumpsters or waste like that. And my kids will probably sleep in a comfy pile of hay or fur with a bundle of other kids... that lifestyle sound enticing at all?

That's pretty cool to hear! It takes an open mind to be able to feel on one end of the spectrum and then switch around when given good evidence! I applaud you!
But the food situation isn't much different! Interesting that we trust complete strangers behind closed doors to restaurant kitchens...but are totally against the idea of picking up a completely fine box of pizza sitting on top of some other boxes and eating it.
Oh man...Hopkinsville...also there was this grocery store there that had like...25 packages of the already cooked chicken that was shrink wrapped...the really expensive stuff that you just needed to put in the microwave. Yum! It was a pretty good treat to have while traveling since all we had been eating until then was microwave Ramon and mac'n'cheese and peanut butter and banana sandwiches!
I LOVE HOPKINSVILLE!

I've gone a couple times. I've only gotten food and some furniture, nothing too great. My buddies have more luck than me. They've gotten a piano, PS1 controllers, VHS tapes, and CD's.

Cool poll. I lose the ability to reply correctly in the morning, this reply was directed to Free Laws.
I used to dive in my old punk and disorderly days in Myrtle Beach. Aaah, the vagrant life, squatting and such.....takes me back.
The Krispy Kreme was our oasis in the night, they threw away the older donuts in boxes inside clean bags. I think they were kinda lookin out for us like you and Blissed have mentioned.

One of my friends over here explained to me how she knows this guy back home who pretty much dumpster dives for a living. Now, hes a meth addict, but a cool, nice guy non the less. He has been doing this for about 15 years or so and has all these spots that he hits regularly and I guess he gets some pretty nice shit. TV's, Jewlery, Furniture, CD's, Art, all kindsa shit. He sells alot of it and always gives gifts to people.

Only 3 years. I lost faith in the scene and had pressure from my mother to move back home and help her.
Great times, though. I wonder sometimes what I'd be like now if I'd stuck around...

You talkin about your dirty smelly dumpter in allies? No I never get near those things. But I have gone to junkyards and excess salvage supply shops---fixed up a few things and sold them for good money. Is this what your talking about? I dont think many people who have eneouph money to have a computer to type on will actually go digging through a dumpter for food

same with picking up cigarette butts in various places. like a free buffet of sorts if you know your rounds well.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, that is so true with cigarette butts. When I was working at the pub people would leave their half smoked cigarettes and cigars outside to smoke later. Of course most of the time the drunk bastards would forget about the leftover tobacco was outside. Well the next morning I would see several different people ranging from older Tweeked out Black guys to high skewl kids coming by making the rounds for the left overs! The older black dude would wave at me, and I would wave back. Pitty someone becoming that way I felt.
Also on the Subject of Dumpster Diving, not many people understand the treasures which could be found at a phamacies dumpster after they have closed for the night. Broken pills and used up bottles of various Liquid opiates, sometimes 10's of MLs even; the pharmacist would just not bother with what was left and throw it away. Generally Schedule II drugs should be desposed of properly, but that doesn't always happen. PhreeX from Bluelight even wrote up a little tek about dumpster diving but then removed it, going through the ins-and-outs of what to do incase security comes around and hassles you.

i've furnished my entire apartment from 1 dumpster... tv's, couchs, table, end tables, coffie table, 3 working computer moniters that are bigger than what i was using, a motherboard and pc2700 256mb ram, box spring, dresser drawers, hangers, trash can, chairs, computer desk, entertainment center, some cool 70's wood shelfs, microwave, sterio, a box of porn mags... lamps, file cabinet, movies, books... other various stuff
this dumpster at my complex is fucking sweet, thier's always cool shit, EVERYDAY... i actualy had to stop bringing stuff in, cause the house is getting cluttered.... but the cool thing is that when something cooler comes along, i just take the other stuff back out there and it's like an upgrade...
here's the porn...

I voted the "Never.. ewww gross" one.. Reason being my job. I own my own business in which i get contract work from morgage companies. when someones home/trailer gets repossessed i go throw all their shit away. i don't have to move furniture or anything, just throw all the small shit/clothes/dishes/paper/etc. in bags and chunk em... takes me about 2-3 hours per, but pays be about 300 bux for each one... needless to say, some of that shit can get pretty disgusting at times, and if someone were to snatch something from some of these places it'd make me sick...

I actually get food from dumpsters about every other day. Small grocery stores throw out perfectly good produce or slightly damaged packaged food. I've also gotten plenty of pizza for free, especially while traveling.
But good job for scavenging for the alternative money making things!
