The possibility that the lady who said she had been on the streets for many years, could now maybe build her own home in Slab City, is heartening. I wish her the very best.

I miss people like her . In the 90s I met a lot of people like her not afraid to be different and they were so nice

My inner hippie & common sense are fighting each other...

I know homeless people that won't go there. I'm a local and you can make it seem cool to an outsider, but it's not.

"setting up homes and camps just miles from the beaches of the Salton Sea." They make it sound like Saint Tropez. It's not. The beaches are nothing but a crunchy graveyard of rotting dead fish and it smells even worse than you can imagine. The Salton Sea is a toxic waste dump. It is an unnatural terminal lake (no out flows). The in flows from the New River bring a toxic stew of heavy metal, agricultural chemicals, and untreated sewage from Mexico. I believe the New River is the most polluted river in the nation. All of this waste settles in the Salton Sea. As the Salton Sea rapidly evaporates all those chemicals get whipped up into dust. Imperial County has the highest incidence of respiratory problems in the nation. The entire area is an ecological disaster. Don't go there, even for short periods of time. Who knows what you'll be breathing in. The state certainly won't tell you. Stay away from anywhere near the Salton Sea.

At 3:35 that poor girl, 26 and on the streets for 9 years. Id chase after my daughter and wouldn't leave her side, id never let her live on the streets. Scarier than the streets is slab city!!

looks like Barker Ranch where the Manson Family hung out

I lived on Beale Rd. In the last trailer before you get to Slab City , in Niland Ca, in 03-06 , the monumental site , the old man , we called him preacher man :) I used to take food to him , to visit , And hear his stories and he me magazines of his honorary work from President Bush, we called that land " The Yellow Brick Road :) My daughter was 10 at the time loved playing on it :) A LADY NAMED JEAN... Was my dear friend an older lady, she lived in a tent at the slabs , please believe me , I lived in a trailer and SHE HELPED ME OUT , she had a car and I had money , every time she went into shed stop and see if I needed anything , SOMETIMES , I didn't but went anyways to get gas for her so I didn't feel bad :) when I finally got out , I gave her everything , I left with only a back pack , honestly , she SO EXCITED , I told her to keep it or sell it lol God that time of my life was very dark there , Thank God for the full Moons to shine what light you could grab , deep dark world there :) I tucked as many FULL MOONS AS I COULD , to make a HUGE FLASHLIGHT TO GUIDE MY WAY OUT, I never forgot about that land :/ GOD BLESS THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN , they are THE TRUE SURVIERS OF SALTON/ BOMB BAY BEACH :) :)

Turn on, tune in, drop out. Timothy Leary said that and it fits Slab City. I just wonder how many future Charles Mansons are there right now.

This makes me think of my friend, who moved to Topanga Canyon to build a Hobbit House on somebody else's land...and got it destroyed. So, she ended up in the desert areas around San Bernardino, living in a bunch of airstreams she collected. She kinda got in a pickle with meth and I imagine she must have passed through Slab City. For years, she had no fixed address. She finally got a shared apartment in San Bernardino...but doesn't like the city...nor does she like living inside much.

Excellent content! Before we know it.they will be.hour.long documentaries! Thanks.for.sharing!!

A very interesting film. Thanks for sharing your experience and God bless you all.

This is beautiful. This gives us hope. We are in the new age of aquarius. This is the age of awakening. People are becoming conscious. People are becoming love again

I’m “no name” because I am wanted and hiding and squatting here

I was out by there last year. I'd still like to see this place one day.

Would love to see some drone footage

If this is their home why don't they have some pride and clean it up , I know its public land but peace and love don't pay the bills, I can't imagine what it smells like.

I've been homeless for 9years and I'm gonna be a therapist and give great advice!

My only knowledge of Slab City is when I go through there in GTA-5.

Talking about safety i think its much safer in this place than those big cities coz people here has developed a sense of bond of friendship that has no boundaries..they accept u as long as you dont mess with them.they dont judge.

Some people like living like this

It is funny to read all the hatefull comments. I'm sure thats the reason all these people checked out to begin with. HATE!!!

Salv. Mt. looks like a sanctimonius ice cream sunday.

wished I could afford to live like that, but I work for a living!

Love your vid

Community acid trip. More power to them but it’s no place for minors.

The young lady said at 4:44 it's kind of like being in high school at times. My question is what high school did she attend. wow! 😮

I heard a young lady got raped there by the men. That is what happens with no laws. As a female I would never visit that place. If I was a male, it is iffy.

People always flee one society and lay claim to another place and create what they fled. The only difference is that they dress differently. If they were people of means they would not live there. I found in the 60s and 70s that hippies were just a game of dress up and communes were a person who coaxed others to pay for the land he wanted. He just hung on until the rest went back to the 'burbs.

They have things that you can put on the microphone to keep the wind noise down.

I'll jump in that little river with No Name, for safety reasons of course, and help any way I can 😁

umm she is California born and raised? Who would have guess that?

Great place to visit if you don't mind being robbed, having your tires slashed, and while your away for supplies have your trailer or tent burned to the ground.... great place with loving people. OH, and beware of all the garbage full of rats and who knows with kinds of diseases. And the open sewage pits enhance the scenery nicely.

I really like to see someone making a video at night just to see what goes on at night

I think i know that guy with the beard! False alarm. Turned my selfie cam on by mistake.

I think it is ironic that they want to live free on government land and the first thing they do is put up a fence around the place they claim as theirs.

They probably live okay out there. When on a road trip recently, I noticed all the little gas station stores out in the desert are like a mini superstore. All they need to do is collect recyclables and get some cash.

this looks like a crazy place

Love you all :)Cheers;)

Hillybilly Heaven. Lady, you need to get a grip and get a real life. Being free or natural does not mean living like an animal. This place is nasty.

I feel like I need a shower now just from watching this..

'i moved to slab city because magic cards are to expensive, now the whole gang has multiple decks!'

Grew up in Palm Springs. Never heard of it union now or knew it was there. I guess they do a good job of laying low. Also most people in the the cities around avoid the Salton Sea. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So a serial killer could go to the slabs and have alot of fun and not even be bothered by the cops...See ya soon slab!!

I really enjoyed your video! Thank you! One critique is the sound. It was hard to hear even with the volume all the way up. Other than that peace on No Name and friends! 🕉️🕊️✌️

Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!

Reminds me of the Communes from the 60's and 70's, saw some in the Catskills ,Ulster and Sullivan Counties, in New York.One wasat this run down abandoned Jewish Camp, or cabin colony. Same type of drop outs,

"Not since Woodstock has there been an insight to people who have chosen this sub-cultural existence. " --- WTF does that mean?

God bless them folks i was homeless wounce apon a time but this town is definitly showin that u can survive regaurdless when godly minds come together no need for goverment much respect to yall and r.ip. to that old guy really insperational stories ✌

What a great video. LOL

Ole “No Name” has been lost ever since they jailed Charley Manson.

"You can help with construction, build shitters"

I actually dig this...I may drive down one day 😎

They got their own therapist and everything would have lovely place

Peace and love

Slobs in the Slabs!

She's the poor version of Wonder Woman shes food stamp woman

Is this where they filmed “Bad Batch” with Keanu Reeves?

Where do you get food from? Nothing growing there!

You have a very tinder soothing voice.

bro theyre playing magic the gathering! :D Loved that game in the mid 90s!

this is nothing like woodstock you fools at wood stock they dident rape and steal

AAH, far out, I’ll bring the Mescaline.

Creeeeeepy!

I really like the concept of living natural and eco friendly way. It would be nice as a retreat for people under stress from modern living. There could be music therapy, natural healing, yoga, etc. Develope all practical skills for living. I wish you success with this wonderful project. Love and Peace Prevail ❤️

I got a brother who I would love to kick outta my parents house and send there

Actually with the State of California owning the land, these folks are squatters. And the cops have every legal rite and responsibility to see if kids are in danger. It is their duty.No running water can cause serious health problems.Watched a lot of these videps on the Slab, never once a Life Straw water purification system.

Playing magic awesome

I wanna live out there!

Aww the pretty snowbird

does your microphone not have a wind guard? they are not expensive anyhoo...im gonna be here for a month this november. if i cant find a pocket of the US that is real in slab city of all places im out. hightailing it on the pan american highway to chile

Interesting topic, sloppy camera work, poor audio.

You can't buy food and water with "love." Has anyone thought about where these people get money to buy these things?

🌍✌️Its a way to break away from the controlled society that we live in. Not only are you making a deeper connection with these people your opening up your soul rather then faking it until you hit 65 old & beat with money that will probably used for medical bills and the funeral or your kids. Have no plans have no fear do what you love and make the most of it the inner soul wants you to do it!!!

woooo what a space-case

That woman is only 24 but looks like she’s straight up 32.

No Name, great video. looking forward to seeing more from your project

So another words never go to Slab City

I would say that a person might get along there, but he/she better have some kind of reliable guide so he/she knows from the getgo the safe from the sinister.

Say no to drugs.

I can't believe that they even play Magic the gathering in slab city!

Hey Aloy, where is your focus?

How can I contact u

Homeless since she was 18 but went to school for psychology... hmm interesting

I need.to.get here.....

Sad..No direction..

Seems like decent people

That is an irrigation canal!lol! TF?

Where's the Cemetery?

No Name???? You have a Name - Why did you edit out the Shower Scene?

Backing my bags! ftw ...

PLEASE REPLY ASAP! How do you get food and water and is it for free?

Saya punya impian untuk pergi ke sana.. Slab city.. From indonesia

We had supermarket foods heir in Australia wat was called 'no-name too eh haha #peace.

I wanna go so bad

Word of the day is JOB

Stayed for the hangers!

I can smell the hippie stink all the way from here

Slab city is okay but man don't forget about black bear ranch it's the last oldest hippie commune in northern California

Now did you all purchase that Arizona tea with food stamps?
