I Met The Most Interesting Human Beings in Slab City
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2024
- Today, we join Rusty Featherstone as he makes his way through Salton City, California to visit the famous Slab City. Originally a military base in World war 2, Slab City became a magnet for retirees, nomadic youths, and artists. One of the first stops is Salvation Mountain, a massive religious art piece cared for by Leonard Knight for over 24 years. He then checks out the hot spring that serves as the communal bath tub and laundromat for many locals. Rusty then finds himself in a beautiful mermaid cove in the desert. Afterwards, we join Rusty for lunch as tries out the delicious local hot dogs, hamburgers and root beer floats. He learns from locals that there may be military gold in the surrounding hills and we get to hear from the perspective of a former real life bottle kid. After listening to the storied pasts of the locals, and getting a glimpse into the life of the people who call Slab City home, Rusty finds that this unique place is far from how some describe it. Rusty finds that Slab City is not lawless, and in fact home to many artistic and kind individuals carving their own paths. The sense of community is strong and supportive to those who choose to live in a creative environment.

this series is so podium
this series is so opium
Also village bro
Bonvoying tonight
@@benjaminandrews8015slab town is villagemaxxing
does this actually mean something
listening to the pod during work and having a new rusty vid for the lunch break is such a beautiful turn of events
Production team went crazy on this one. Shoutout Luke for the phenomenal audio selections throughout this piece. The music totally immersed me into the visuals and the juxtaposition of the 4x3 footage with the full frame cam was super cool, like seeing it through the eyes of a resident and the eyes of a visitor. Also the audio quality of all the dialogue was super impressive as it looked like it was pretty windy there. Thanks for a great watch, keep it up!
Rusty's giving Vice vibes. Good music selection too, y'all are killing the game.
do you know what the song at the very beginning of the video is? i can’t remember the name
@@eebbaa5560Riot - Earl Sweatshirt
@@eebbaa5560 Riot by Earl Sweatshirt !
@@eebbaa5560riot! By early sweatshirt
the interview with the older guy at the end is so inspiring. to be driven away from your normal life only to later find your purpose in hosting open mics and bringing social life to a camp of outcasts is just so pure 👏
@domdom9515 builder bill is a gem amongst the rubble for sure
the vibe of this show and the editing fits rusty's personality so much I love it!
We had a FANTASTIC time hanging out w Jimmy, Rusty and the fellas talking about our trip from New Hampshire...gotta love Scout the beagle, in the video of our RV. Jiimmy's music by the hot spring was fabulous as we dipped tootsies in the water. Thanks for a great visit guys. Carry on❤
Once again love the vid Rusty, you have a talent for connecting with people of all sorts. Keep up the good work with the series, really great stuff!
I love this series so much, hope it gets the recognition it deserves. Slab city looks like such a cool place to live.
3 year slab snow bird here.
I always love hearing Builder Bills wisdom and insight. I've meet some of the most genuine, caring and giving folks in Slabs. Can't wait to be back in the fall
This series needs way more attention, best look into slab city I’ve seen, keep killing it Rusty
How cool is easily my favorite series that the whole company puts out dude never stop
Rusty you bring the vibes the world needs right now brother. There are plenty of journalists doing this kind of stuff but your combination of humor and chillness is unmatched. I'm not personally attracted to males but you up there with Austin Butler on my hot list
Love this series so much. I hope the Friday Beers socials are pushing this as much as they should be. It needs more attention
Great Great video. Huge ups for being able to just converse with these people so openly
This series need so much more attention ❤. Like oldschool VICE docs.
this one already bangs cuz of the earl sweatshirt in the beginning already know its gonna be straight vibes
this was amazing can’t wait to see this series grow
Best series on RUclips is back, let’s go‼️‼️‼️
Such good vibessss I love it. The music, the people, its so chill n wholesome
Met Rusty at the Firestone Beer Festival earlier this month, so look forward to that
These vids rule, keep up the good work brotha
Come back and visit this winter
Not everyone needs to be an intellectual. That needs to be an embraced mentality for a lot of the gen pop.
i love this series so much
Good work rusty
there he is
Realizing Rusty is the newest national treasure
“More flies, the better food” one of my favorite quotes of the decade
Rusty, don't say no one loves you, I LOVE YOU
Dot has this cuteness to her, know what I mean??❤
Please keep this series going
This is actually so cool
these videos are powerful man
Thanks rusty
Hahah ! Wow, so glad I came across this video. That was amazingly done, Thank youz for sharing and all of it:):) From where I am, I appreciate all of those people and the place ❤
10/10 content need more
Bro this is genuinely an amazing shirt doc, stoked on this for you man, keep the good vibes going brother.
This feels like a Netflix show I love it
so cool to watch this. i spent 18 hours or so out at Slab, East Jesus and Salvation Mountain 7 years ago. We camped a half mile or so away cuz we were a little spooked by an interaction we had with someone out there. But yeah it’s a special place. Didn’t have the grill running then but we did get to see an open mic night at the Range. it was summer so it was especially sleepy. my friend went back in winter time and apparently it was hoppin!
Can I ask what the Interaction was that spooked you? Would love to go visit
@@JammySaxon91 some guy came over and sat next to my friend and I and was friendly enough, but started asking a lot of questions about where we were staying that night, and then invited us to come camp and with him and his crew for the night just outside of Slab because “there’s lots of dangerous folks in here but we can keep you safe in our spot, we have dogs” and was pretty resistant to us declining his invitation. He had weird looking fingers.
thats about it, I wouldn’t be worried about going back, but I’d probably stick to our original campsite away from Slab. You should definitely go!
Between this docushort/review series and the 60 in 60's, this man is becoming the backbone of FB
Please keep this series going. They're all so good
something so soothing about this video
Rusty is a man of the people. Really seems like he can vibe with everyone. Cool video
this shit fire
Rusty keep following your heart brother. Inspirational
It couldn't be no more dangerous than the city life..I really like what I see, the story's of these interesting people,I want to move there..
So this is where Rusty’s been
Riot intro is fire
Riot being the opening score secures Rusty’s spot as chillest white dude
this was beautiful thanks team.
Last interview was really special. Great video, rusty and the production team
Intro song got me ready for a great episode!! Love the Earl and the series!
Cooking in a hot spring for 3 days is INSANE
Genuinely informational. Your content continues to improve. Rusty and Will keep me from taking a ride on the Sewer slide.
These are my favorite videos on the internet
Another one coming out in 45 min 🫂
incredible work
This genuinely touched my heart ❤
best one yet
Next time stop by the Slab City Soup Kitchen… the story continues ❤
Great video!
My man is so fucking hungover/probably still drunk/day drinking in the beginning of this video, rocking it. Also the person adding the music literally has my playlists and record collection at their house lol. It's all my favorite music, even weird obscure shit.
I watched this vids title change at least three times in the last hour, whichever one of you is overthinking it, you got it 👍its good, this is good lol
I love Rusty's face at 11:15 when the old bloke mentions his run ins with the police
this was an amazing video :)
Come to Friday Beers for Angus and Cullagh, stay for Rusty.
This was insanely good dude
Beautiful video.
That old hippie goin on about the military gold sounds like the one from the Vice piece
When are we getting a How Cool? and Channel 5 crossover?
this was the quickest 14 mins of my life
this was dope
Interesting video
This is life at its finest…
yup, it's official, this is the best video I've ever watched

@@gerryk1677 haven't heard of it! I'll check it out!
@@gerryk1677 No I haven't! I'll have to check that out!
Solar ovens, solar dish cookers, hyperadobe earth ships, subterranean structures for coolness, underground cisters, rain catchment systems. That is what these people need and what they should be doing......earth air tubes = free airconditioning $$$$$
There is no direct relationship between good food and flies. :)
that was beautiful
I Love this
These people need to start digging under the slabs and create cool closed off basements
pretty cool
yay!
This is very dank
You can also argue that the outside world is a big refugee camp for people who cant do well here.
Can we get a list of all the music in this episode?!
Somebody give Earl his credit
Christopher McCandless spent some time here, from the book/movie INTO THE WILD
U should hit Leavenworth, WA you would VIBE
Rusty, you should head to Tijuana next
Sick vif
Big rusty guy
Anyone know the song that starts at 10:26. So good great vid boys
I’m slabbed - post rowdy requiem fear and loathing hangover
Still waiting on the next scared impaired
W intro
weekly uploads are village
The next Anthony Bourdain
7:40 is this a reference to the bottle kids from Trailer Park Boys??
How cool?
Expected Friday Beers what I got was No Gas All Brakes.
