It's kinda sad and annoying how none of ya'll understand what major childhood PTSD trauma looks like, I do, and believe it or not it gives you an extreme hightend sense of child protection, which is a concept that seems to fall on deaf ears for most of you. 😑 You also become what appears as a burnout or mentally ill person. Extreme childhood trauma shocks your brain so hard that it essentially gives you a stroke, your brain still functions fine but communicating with others becomes an extreme difficulty and suddenly everyone thinks your mentally ill. Most people think I'm creepy for it too. All of your programming from the media has caused you all to hate kids if anything, rather then have the instincts to protect them. They are the continuation of the human race you damaged uncognitive fools. If the children die, we die. The sheep bother me ever more.
Love it or hate it, this is a necessary part of society. There needs to be places like this for the people that need places like this. Everybody has to be somewhere.
The snake guy was Mr. Tuttle, my 7th grade Biology teacher. He was always a little off but a few years after I graduated we heard that he had a total meltdown and had moved out to the desert.
Ahhhh the old one minute date. Its called a blowjob silly Billy. I dated a few people myself when I was much younger......... My old high school comes to mind, we filmed it in the carpark. I still get lockjaw sometimes when I bump into him. xo
Pulled into Slab City when I was 19 years old after being on the road for about 2 1/2 weeks. Met some really cool folks, some interesting folks, and some folks that gave me a bad feeling in my stomach. Left that night on account of the folks that gave me a bad feeling in my stomach and drove to Phoenix. Great experience, I’ll never forget it.
It's a way of life, but people are definitely looking at it through rose-tinted glasses because this video kind of has that "wow, hippie communes do work guys" undertone to it. I mean, if you're already living out on the streets, I'm sure this is fine assuming you can get there. It's probably well out in the desert.
I wouldn't feel safe specially at night u don't know what could happen some mental instability no boundaries However I'm happy they found a place to adjust to. The dude with the snake mmmm I wouldn't trust him one bit he is aware of the effects of a snake bite what does that tell u? He is using the snakes as a weapon.
Sometimes I just wish I lived in a place like that. Where the only thing I need is food, water and a comfy place to sleep and that's it. No worries about work and a million other things
+Mike Wright I haven't been to Slab City but have traveled in similar circles and let me tell you that there are better places to live a life like that. Spending time with these folks is great, but living with em is it's own mess of bullshit. This place looks filthy. I'd rather spend my time in a commune where people are actually taking care of the place.
+Mike Wright Once you get the food, water and comfy place to sleep, you'll find you'll need a little bit more. Food usually requires at least 5 more things to be beneficial to human life. Storage, Cleaning, Preparing, Cooking and Serving. If you fail to properly handle your food, it's as good as poison. You need strong boxes for dry goods to keep rats out, cold storage for perishables, a full set of kitchen utensils, including pots, pans, plates bowls, knives and so on, a reliable heat source to cook with, and a way to clean your dishes and food areas after you're done. Your body and clothes also need cleaning, so you'll need a variety of soaps and lots of hot water. You'll need a heat source for your dwelling, because it gets extremely cold in the desert at night. You'll probably use wood as fuel, so you'll need wood cutting tools like saws and axes, or perhaps a chainsaw and wood splitter, which take fuel. Getting the wood to your dwelling will become more and more difficult, as you clear the land of trees. Eventually, you will need transportation. The list just goes on and on. There is no such thing as simple living. You were sold a fairy tale.
this is a perfect mix of california culture. homelessness, drug addiction, transients living on the fringe of society. slab city has everything california is native to.
California only has all these things magnified because it’s the most American state of them all. It’s the largest, most populous state. It’s at the cutting edge of cultural happenings in this country. Of course all these social malaise endemic to the entire country are magnified in California.
My dad is actually in this, he's the guy in the black shirt at 11:50 (divorced parents, mom got custody) he came back in my life for some years and he talked alot about this place, it sounds awesome, he actually was staying with the guy who's talking a few seconds before that part and called him when I showed him the video
After an apocalypse slab city would be abandoned in under a month. They are completely dependant upon the outside world for food, water, and everything else. Nobody there is even close to being self sufficient. Once the last drop of water runs out and the last brick of ramen gets eaten everyone will either die or leave.
Forgot to add that in an apocalypse situation slab city would be pointless anyway. After an apocalypse everywhere becomes free as slabs. Except other places actually have water sources, food sources, and more hospitable weather.
Idk if it would survive or remain the same in an apocalypse but a lot more places like it would exist for sure. Surprising that no one mentioned this yet but it has serious Fallout New Vegas vibes for some reason imo. 😂 Either way definitely interesting. Wouldn't mind seeing it someday.
"The last free place in America" = a place you can drink, smoke and take drugs. A slave to addiction = not free. Is it possible for anyone to get the balance between a relaxed life and doing something constructive and not just getting out of their heads?

Word to Vice, use this dude for your documentaries. He's far better than the average host with more focus on their wardrobe than the topic at hand. This dude is down to earth, funny and chill in general.
***** I am. These are nothing trailer park trash. that do nothing for the betterment of the Society accept suck off other peoples hard earned cash. How would you feel if you worked 60+ Hours a week just to have some one take it from you by Gunpoint, then give it to lazy slobs?
this is really refreshing. people living there lives. nothing bothering them. minimal living conditions. everyone knows eachother no social media. no judgement or hate. just a bunch of awesome weirdos loving life
Everyone should experience this lifestyle at least one in their lives, It truly shows you what its like to live without being a full time consumer , and makes you realize how much shit you dont need to have in your life.
Yes, you heard right. Difference is, they pile/save up aluminum cans and take them to recycle for money when they have a large amount.

Yes I'll come along. I might just bring my kids and drop them off there like daycare but come back once a month. These are the values I want instilled in my children!
There's nothing noble about living in squalor. You owe it to yourselves and the human race to succeed. Theyre lowlifes and junkies, there's nothing noble about these people.
Nicely put. It is the biggest con in history that people have been tricked into believing they need to be wage slaves to not be ashamed of their existence. We were born to be free. That means we have the liberty to, as our eloquent friends place it, "live in an dump and drink and tweak ourselves to death," and be "lowlifes and junkies." I do sense a certain envy. These people are doing what they want, not what they are told to do by society. That, in itself, is noble.
Dmitri Desgoffe-und-Taxis There are plenty of people that live in the boonies and are not "wage slaves". The difference is they are productive, not drunks/junkies and they don't turn their home into a frigging garbage dump.
this is so amazing, they live just fine, they are not bound by anything, no need for law enforcement, no need for government bullshit, no need for any of that shit... the true, literal meaning of anarchy. just people living their lives interacting with each other, helping each other.... i'm glad i watched this video
e314ds a loser because they see the the governments lies there are no god no leaders its all just a money scam so the ones with power can get richer and more powerful we are animals look in cages born into a world to be tamed told how to look how to dress what to like what to think you sir are the loser think for your self not what you were told its all made up bull shit
well im a punker and me and my friends done this kind of stuff and we still took showers and not all do drugs some are against drugs see i believe in starting over you see this is a fucked up world we live in full of hate we need to go progressive
These people don't benefit society at all. They just live on handouts, do drugs, and be lazy. They provide no service to anyone. In my opinion, they are losers.
dannyphehe i think your getting mix up with people you see on street corners holding sings for money there a diffrients from anarchists and just some one who want a hand out anarchist want nothing to do with the system or conformity so that inclues mony ect
Aaron Hare Aaron, I wouldn't call you a loser. You have an education and you seem very intelligent. I'm calling the people who just flat out don't try to do anything with their lives and live off other people losers.
I didn't mean that I'm literally going to live that life style. I just meant that all of us have felt like saying fuck it and leaving society at one point or another.
Cristian Ponder pls...im praying im not in that situation, look at the trailor it is full of used beer cans, its a shit hole, nothing cleaned it is disgusting
There is room in this world for all kinds of people...the fact that they get along and like each other makes then a blessed community, whether approved of or not!
I feel sad for that kid at 10:00. Hes a good person, but struggling with drug addiction. He has potential if only he could get away from certain drugs....
(if they're part of the crew) could you imagine being the two females on the camera crew when they're explaining to you that they chose you to go on a trip to but f*** no where, where there's no law or anything and the first place they want to take you is to the hippo watering hole at night
...this reminds me of animal crossing. Tiny town of odd characters loafing around all day: check Catching creatures and collecting rocks: check Partying with music: check
Very few people seem happy. They tell you they’re happy and free but I’m seeing lots of people who just ended up here as opposed to actually wanting to be here
I stayed in Slab City for a bit, and honestly I feel they're getting a bad rap in these comments. It has its problems I suppose, but everyone I met was extremely kind and hospitable. I fully intend on going back in the future to visit some of the friends/residents I was able to meet there.
Slab city is original and a place all its own. My grandma lives In niland and use to take us to salvation mountain to experience it and talk with Leonard knight. Use to party out here in high school. Place will never change.
Nathan Webb, the fuck happened to your thread? Haha. The old me would drop tabs, but after many bad trips, just can't bring myself to drop tabs again. I'll eat some mushrooms, but I'll never touch acid again. The last bad trip I had I was walking near my house, nothing looked familiar. I thought I was in a different country. I somehow made it home, and the Christmas lights I had up were turning into vines, running down my walls. I went to my bathroom to splash water on my face to snap out of it and made the mistake of looking in the mirror and my face morphed into the devil. I was staring back at the devil and the devil was me. It was terrifying and only got worse. I sat on my bed to collect myself because me and reality didn't even know each other, and it was crazy. I had an outer body experience and saw myself sitting on my bed while above my body looking down at myself sitting at the edge of my bed. It was a decade ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. I thought between just seeing the devil and viewing my body from a different perspective, completely detached from it that I was dead and in hell. I t was such an intense experience, traumatizing at the same time. So on the rare occasion I do hallucinogens (maybe once every 5 years now, if that ) its mushrooms. Never had a bad trip from them.
Megan Schmidt my thread turned to trash when the space trash entered Mushrooms are the shit by the way, I get a few grams every time I go to drum circles
+Nathan Webb Mushrooms are the way to go for sure. Hope you have fun at your next show. The coolest show I attended was Berkfest. You camped out for a weekend and listened to killer music. Just realized I'm overdue for a show. Enjoy, stay safe.
Megan Schmidt where I live every week we have a drum circle on Sunday where around 200 people come, music, people selling stuff, selling drugs, home made pipes, everyone smokes it's a lot of fun

this is really refreshing. people living there lives. nothing bothering them. minimal living conditions. everyone knows eachother no social media. no judgement or hate. just a bunch of awesome weirdos loving life
I wouldn't say loving life. Most of em are meth addicts shitting in holes
Killing themselves with drugs and booze.
It looks like paradise to me
The funny thing is they have a better sense of community than a lot of people living in the big cities, probably less depressed as well due to this.

Everyone should experience this lifestyle at least one in their lives, It truly shows you what its like to live without being a full time consumer , and makes you realize how much shit you dont need to have in your life.
Easy to say when you live with the money of taxpayers
Wow..a personal insult from a stranger on the internet who didnt understand my comment..thats rare.
+mandy its not an insult to you, but to these people, they live with goverment welfare, wich is funded by taxpayers
+mandy Sure looked like they were consuming a lot and leaving their rubbish all over the place to me.

Less the drink and more the meth and Ron that are probably rampant there
Did that guy just say filthy beaches after he threw a beer can in the bushes?
hehe yeah
Yes, you heard right. Difference is, they pile/save up aluminum cans and take them to recycle for money when they have a large amount. He was not littering for the sake of being a slob as it may have appeared. The most bizarre thing about people who live on the fringes??? They love to be underestimated in every way.
perez luchiano haha, lol thanks for making me laugh dude, I needed a chuckle. These guys are as interested in recycling as I am in listening to Bieber.

I'll see if my wife would agree on re-settling there with our children, seems like a good place to raise a family.
If she says no, keeps the kids and wishes you well then a fine woman she is.
Yes I'll come along. I might just bring my kids and drop them off there like daycare but come back once a month. These are the values I want instilled in my children!

Is this the equivalent to Sandy Shores in GTA5?
Sandy shores is based off of the salton sea and the surrounding area.
No I'd say it's stab city cuz you know there both shitholes with carvans and they have VERY silmear names a bit to silmear to be a conqincedent
***** the developers themselves said it was based off the Salton sea and surrounding areas. But yeah, slab city does have some similarities.
There is a place on the map north east of sandy shores wich i think is a reference to slab city.
Smart Ass Steve this is located right off the salon sea
He literally drove up on a ice chest, I was so impressed by that 🤣

casey b They live in a dump and drink and tweak themselves to death. Don't make this a 'Into the Wild' kinda story.
There's nothing noble about living in squalor. You owe it to yourselves and the human race to succeed. Theyre lowlifes and junkies, there's nothing noble about these people.
Neither of you answered my question. My question was directed to people in general, not just these folks. It is a philosophical question.
Nicely put. It is the biggest con in history that people have been tricked into believing they need to be wage slaves to not be ashamed of their existence. We were born to be free. That means we have the liberty to, as our eloquent friends place it, "live in an dump and drink and tweak ourselves to death," and be "lowlifes and junkies."
I do sense a certain envy. These people are doing what they want, not what they are told to do by society. That, in itself, is noble.
Dmitri Desgoffe-und-Taxis There are plenty of people that live in the boonies and are not "wage slaves". The difference is they are productive, not drunks/junkies and they don't turn their home into a frigging garbage dump.
This is like one of those cities in a video game that has nothing to do with the main quest, and I like it.

well im a punker and me and my friends done this kind of stuff and we still took showers and not all do drugs some are against drugs see i believe in starting over you see this is a fucked up world we live in full of hate we need to go progressive
These people don't benefit society at all. They just live on handouts, do drugs, and be lazy. They provide no service to anyone. In my opinion, they are losers.

Aaron, I wouldn't call you a loser. You have an education and you seem very intelligent. I'm calling the people who just flat out don't try to do anything with their lives and live off other people losers.
Why so much hate. Are you people mad you can't do the same. That you're tied to societies norms. Who gives a fuck. Personally I think it's awesome.
I didn't mean that I'm literally going to live that life style. I just meant that all of us have felt like saying fuck it and leaving society at one point or another.

I stayed in Slab City for a bit, and honestly I feel they're getting a bad rap in these comments. It has its problems I suppose, but everyone I met was extremely kind and hospitable. I fully intend on going back in the future to visit some of the friends/residents I was able to meet there.
i'm not gonna criticize them. they're just chillin'
Slab city is original and a place all its own. My grandma lives In niland and use to take us to salvation mountain to experience it and talk with Leonard knight. Use to party out here in high school. Place will never change.
I never thought id say this but.. that scooter is fucking rad!
I bet recharging the battery is a bitch out there, I'd rather the 50cc petrol driven ones.

I heard he passed away.
"happy 420" I'd drop acid and share a bowl with that dude
Nathan Webb tbh u look like the type of kid who never even smoked weed let alone done tabs
Nathan Webb, the fuck happened to your thread? Haha. The old me would drop tabs, but after many bad trips, just can't bring myself to drop tabs again. I'll eat some mushrooms, but I'll never touch acid again. The last bad trip I had I was walking near my house, nothing looked familiar. I thought I was in a different country. I somehow made it home, and the Christmas lights I had up were turning into vines, running down my walls. I went to my bathroom to splash water on my face to snap out of it and made the mistake of looking in the mirror and my face morphed into the devil. I was staring back at the devil and the devil was me. It was terrifying and only got worse. I sat on my bed to collect myself because me and reality didn't even know each other, and it was crazy. I had an outer body experience and saw myself sitting on my bed while above my body looking down at myself sitting at the edge of my bed. It was a decade ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. I thought between just seeing the devil and viewing my body from a different perspective, completely detached from it that I was dead and in hell. I t was such an intense experience, traumatizing at the same time. So on the rare occasion I do hallucinogens (maybe once every 5 years now, if that ) its
mushrooms. Never had a bad trip from them.
Megan Schmidt my thread turned to trash when the space trash entered
Mushrooms are the shit by the way, I get a few grams every time I go to drum circles
+Nathan Webb Mushrooms are the way to go for sure. Hope you have fun at your next show. The coolest show I attended was Berkfest. You camped out for a weekend and listened to killer music. Just realized I'm overdue for a show. Enjoy, stay safe.
Megan Schmidt where I live every week we have a drum circle on Sunday where around 200 people come, music, people selling stuff, selling drugs, home made pipes, everyone smokes it's a lot of fun
