I make a lot of dink comments but I just wanted to say that you did a great job with this endeavor. Super interesting. Wish it was longer.

Why don't you show the trash that piles up out there, the burnt out RVs and trailers, the loose running dogs. This is just another puff piece that tells only half the story about as place that should have been shut down years ago!

Yes .. That broke my heart . But you are right about learning more from the children . They SEE the world differently!

And that all he knows is cities are “cool” and that the future will bring houses and the concept of property ownership. Ok I’m coming from a bias that education (learning) in its broadest meaning is always good, and certainly this child is getting some kind of education, but he’s also missing out. Has anyone taught him to read? Math? Science?

Listen.. he said Mom, get me out of this stupid shithole.. I’m already behind the social and educational curve

Raven Reda Fuck off hippie burnout. That kids getting fucked over by his parents shitty ass lifestyle choices. He won’t have the skills to survive in the economy of the future.

Poor kid has no chance. Can hardly speak. I can imagine he cannot read as well. Such a sad thing. His parents are doing no justice for him.... So they can get high....

Yeah, this is really a "thriving" community. Glad to see that young boy is getting a first-class edumacation....future mayor of SlabTown, for sure.

society is not detached its enslaved

Went there in June 2021 and December 2021. They say in the winter there are a ton of people but in June I saw way more than in December. December was great though,, June not so much. Almost got robbed just because I drive a nice looking truck and 5th wheeler. Glad I had my 120lbs german shepherd in my 5th wheel when I went to the Range. I also have an attack kitty :) But I was invited to the range just so the others in this group could try to rob me. Not cool.. I loved the free vibe though, just too many drug users for me to want to stay out there longer than a week or two.

If you ever feel like dropping out. Come to Europe. Off grid living is alive and well here. Without the murders. Hard drugs and guns are kept out of it.

Unfortunately, experience shows that even if they are only a tiny minority the outside world will focus on the drug addicts & crazies to the point of being blind to the majority being good folk. This is likely to be built into a reason to shut the whole place down.

@@Kimdino1 No I don't think so it's complaints to government and they pass laws to screw us all. Or shut down Slab City because of these crack and meth heads unfortunately they are the worst kind. The one meth head seemed alright but wait till he doesn't get his daily fix and runs out of money. This makes a person using crack or meth steal from anyone to get high. And they literally end up doing anything and loosing everything.

I completely understand. I lived in a small free town community in Denmark: Christiania ~ Startede out the same in the 70ies. And is now an oasis in the midst of Copenhagen of free thinkers and free spirits of the world. There should be more places for the broken and the 'misfits'. I not that we don't like the commen world - it just doesn't make us happy. And everybody has the right to persue happiness. And obtain it!

Like a bath?

Crab city is a better name or crap city, even better, hibernating bums who only come-out for marijuana scraps from a discarded mostly smoked marijuana joint, tie it on a fishing line and throw it out the side of the car and drive around their decrepit village of shit art and architecture, nice my hairy ass, mindless bums with nothing going for them. Sniff a toke a mile away, probably most of them will turn and join the safety-and-security apparatus (security, police, military), replace sniffer dogs with sniffer bums, no need to tell, teach, train them, they already told, taught, trained themselves long ago

It seems like a really cool place. Some people like to feel free and at peace and I admire that

Kids in your very town know life should be better. Living out there doesn't change it. These kids aren't exposed to social media which is ruining the youth

There are school busses that pick up and drop off the kids every school day. Churchs often bring kids art supplies, kid books etc.

R Hopzing sounds suspiciously like the book of fairytales, or one similar.

You are like Congress "I was told, I heard." No first hand information. I lived there last winter. No one was killed and I felt safe. Food, water and showers all available. Your family member is not telling the truth.

The murders wouldn't happen as easily if people had guns to defend themselves from the wackos or druggies.

David you are like the democrats full of 2nd hand information. "I heard." "My sister said." I lived there one winter season and saw no murders. Arguments yes, pusing people and some attempted bulling yes. No serious harm and certainly no one was killed. I saw a drunk fall into a fire and we all gave her betasone cream, bandages etc. that we had. Someone with a car even took her to a free clinic. I saw her a few days later and she smile and said I was really wasted but got a lot of help. I have a car and before I made my every three day trip to Walmart or to town I made it a point to ask others like Spider, Kas, MoJoe if they wanted to go with if I had room orgive me a list and money and I'll pick up anything for them. No one ever asked me for money, food yes, water, yes beer yes. David go there and experience the Slabs yourself. If you behave yourself, don't pick fights or intrude no one will harm you. Be a man not a little girl. There are women living here that roam around un molested and free. I look forward to meeting you.

I like how they make it like you better watch your s*** around here or else

@@BangkokJohn It's not that difficult to comprehend why the standard practice of using anonymous sources and - here's the most important part - KEEPING THEM ANONYMOUS exists. It's not some new thing invented by the democrats. It's necessary. For example, just imagine how many more names would be on the "Clinton Body Count" list if journalists and investigative branches outed their anonymous sources? The guy who leaked the Lynch/Clinton tarmac meeting would've made the cut! Also, Despite what Fox tells you both sides are equally guilty of engaging in the 2nd hand "Many people are saying" & "An extremely credible source has told me..." BS whenever it suits them. To imply otherwise is simply hypocritical. In fact, those are both direct quotes from Trump to back up unsubstantiated claims he made about the Left. Not for nothing, but he has yet to produce that "extremely credible" Kenyan birth certificate to this day, btw. What I'm saying is, don't simply accept & regugitate everything you read or hear from right wing biased news sources. Like the biased news sources on the left, they're mainly pushing their own agenda/propaganda and selling it as news. An opinion or accusation doesn't magically become fact just because we may personally agree with it. Anyway, I get the idea that you genuinely care and you seem like a decent dude. So cheers! Live free and travel safe, brother.

@Old Luke I'm not putting down what your perspective is... But in all honesty.. If you look at the millions of people working 10hour days, and in China over half the population are working 12+hour days 6 days a week.. To just survive.. And in our Western world middle class and upper-class families work and argue, fight over pathetic things.. And the "lowerclass" have benefits breadline life hanging over them paycheck to paycheck, while the homeless are seeking benefits while addicted to medications originally prescribed... And a school system which is not teaching kids what REAL life is? Just systemising our youth, meaning the future generations are perpetuating and living the same issues... In a broken system, run by out of touch individuals, and groups with a know it all agenda, poisoning the food chain with chemicals... Processed crap, and dividing our countries through politics and religion. So.. Has this kid really been born into poverty? Maybe his child hood is positively more peaceful than 80%+ of the worlds population... It will become increasingly so rare in the future for a child to actually have a simple care free open air child hood.. Without the system sucking them up. Maybe poverty is a perspective.. Maybe we are in poverty in our own way. Maybe the children crawling around in the slums of India. Or the sex slaves in slums and buildings at part of the world are the ones in poverty. Peace brother:). Just a thought share for ya :)

@Old Luke well, as someone who's tried arguing a better future with people who have the means to make that difference.. I can attest, power, games and money is unfortunately the life some of these only enjoy while many suffer... Cattle. :(. Im free, peace.. Forget all logic, and the world becomes beautiful... Pass platform 9 and 3 quarters hahaha that's just the silly divide world going on behind the scenes. Times an illusion... The elites and "game players" need to help humanity by worshipping nature, not their patented hybrid stuff which they're trying to make everyone eat from birth.

@@bkermike True!

@Old Luke Lack the pedigree? They're not dogs, they're kids. Not all kids fit in to the one-size-fits-all education system, not all kids learn the same, and not all parents want their children trained like dogs so they can be well oiled cogs in the machine. From a few seconds of filming you've deduced that this child is not cared for or given attention and lacks pedigree (whatever that means)? Not sure you should be teaching any children with views like that, certainly wouldn't want you teaching my son, his dad didn't come with breeding certification to show his pedigree.

@Old Luke Wow, so now you are assuming from a very short clip that the child in the video is a product of incest? Cool dude.

Ah yes, Humbolt County up in NoCal. "I've got a peaceful, easy feelin' . . .🎶
