Slab City Pro-tips on Backpacking and Off-Grid Living 

I feel like I had amnesia and watching this made me regain my memory and realize this is my home. I'm sobbing because I miss something I've never known. I have to visit

You do good interviews, hope to see more. Maybe get a few senior citizens to tell their stories too. The library has really come to life since you moved there, good job! You are so talented. Thanks so much for sharing your life and slab city with us... :)

"Family doesn't have to be just blood, anyone can be family" Dam right and to the point! Loved the vid it really got my spirit jazzed. Sending amazing MoJo your way. Thanks for the kick butt vid. You rock!

The lifestyle and vibe of these people reminds me of 1990's Burning Man. It is so strange to see how much that scene has gentrified. Keep Slab City free.

The vibe of your videos absolutely kills it. Every video of yours I watch, I kick myself a little more for ever leaving Slabs. Keep up the awesome work.

Yeah, I liked this one too. I think you have a hidden talent of making documentaries.

Nice job. Simple. To the point. Not over produced like a lot of Hollywood wannabes.

Corn, the fact that you don’t let your prosthetic affect your activities is soooo admirable!! Also, hope you don’t mind I just shortened your name!?!? Lol I’m so ready to split town and roll towards SC!

you need to make an air condenser. using an old re-fridge cooling system and hook it up to a coil set it up in the hot sun with a water catch that falling an underground man made aqua fur that is hooked up to a water fall to keep the water turning and fresh full of life. Let it fall over rocks. It will build up and stay fresh. the more condensers the more water in the desert.

Very good advice from everyone, great video Cornelius. Thanks for sharing.

Love it. Words of wisdom.

One of the best coverage I've seen so far on slab city....

We all are in the moment...the trick is to be aware that we are.

Society has become sick. I hate being in this modern world, too many people are driven by money and materialism. Every day I wish I was somewhere in a community of like-minded people. I keep coming back to watching these videos, and something inside me says, this is the place that I will live for the rest of my life, away from society. I've made myself a promise that one-day Slab City will be my home.

Thanks this was really helpful hope I get out their soon

Watching & learning.

Great vid....wado ! ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE

Thanks for sharing. I find Slab City very interesting. Personally I couldn't do it, but more power to those who can.

Freedom isn't a physical place. It's an aspect of the mind.

Thanks for the thoughts you have contributed here.

Great video. Great tunes. Beck is rad. Great interviews of some pretty open people. I liked it. Thank you and please keep making the slabtastick documentation.

nice video. some very humbling people. not what I expected, thanks vango.

Nice job! Thanks! I wouldn't mind dropping out and living there. Good info.

Cool video girl thumbs up keep up on vids every day

Right on good video 🤙

Your message/Doc's are as good if not better then Sundance. Blessings child keep up your "good works". Your creative side is blooming. We're cheering for you! but then we're just old hippies doing the best we can, you inspire all.

love the vlogs, I've been interested in slab city since i found out about a few years ago. Very interesting way of life. Peace!

Really looking forward to coming out to see the slabs soon and hanging out.

The number one rule for traveling is always remember where your towel is.

Looks like somthing out of mad max!

I love me some cave man....Your videos is so awesome!!!

Slab city here I come

Just found your channel, hope life is good maybe i will meet you there

A city of the weird and wonderful where one can truly express and be themselves without judgement from the modern world.

Great work! Thanks for sharing your life with us. I have a friend that has visited slab city a few times and told me about you. I check your channel almost every day for a new video

I love me some Cave Man . . I envy yall👌Living free seems awesome🙌👍👍

Sometimes I find a YT channel and it feels like I struck gold......

Did they ever find water in the well?

These ar my fav videos the survival and backpacking

inspiring, interesting, fascinating video! thank you! i like that the advise they give is really just; trust yourself, do it, live in the present ..... and they all seem so relaxed and loving people. i'm definitely going to hit the road one day. oh and anyone knows the movie Mad Max: Fury Road? Slab City makes me think of that

Thank you 😊

Lol, dude look up the waterline for your elevation. I seriously doubt you'll hit water without digging 50+ feet. My well was over 100'...just something to think about. I thought you were digging a shitter

Great vid. Cant wait see you nice people. Ill be there soon with my dog Rusty and my music and some wood.

I will be that way one day... Hope to link up when I arrive!!

Cornelius I like the paintings you painted. I also paint art on canvas and more. Cheers to us.

I really enjoyed your video... I spent some time there as well. The vibe is chill and the people are neat, so colorful and full of life and talent. I subbed you... good stuff! Happy trails💜

How do u bathe at the slabs? Do u use the spring?

Hahaha I don't wear shoes at all never ever ever 👍🏼I hate them I could run across oyster shells

I fucking love your videos....thank you.

They have a combined credit score of 1 and give 0 fucks. Rock on

I'm heading from northern Canada (British Columbia) to San Diego at the end of September. I'm thinking of driving up to Slab City. How long would it take me to drive up? Hope you are having an awesome day. ☀️

Name of the song @ 23:34 thanks! Greetings from Germany! great photos and video!

i miss it out there... hows the weather?

also here's a tip for you to make some extra cash: you can do online surveys. A lot of sites pay criminally low rates and some are scams but once you find the good ones you can make a decent 4-5$ an hour. of course you ahve to be somewhere with wifi or internet

any hate youll ever get is born of jealousy. they work at starbucks and you are fucking rocking

Yea Beck is the mad max soundtrack

it would take a lot of getting used to but i gotta say i would like to live like this. Right now i live somewhere where rent is REALLY cheap so i take advantage of that while i can, if rent ever goes up or i have to move somewhere else where it is more expensive i totally wanna get a van... not sure about the community type lifestyle like you live in because i dont have many social skills, people dont really like me too much. what do you do for water? i imagine water would be the biggest challenge. Here in Roanoke, va we have a few springs but i bet there is nothing like that in that dry climate.... Also what happened to your cats? did you just get rid of them cuz they didnt fit the lifestyle? i dont see the cats anymore

HI THERE. GOOD VID N INTERVIEWS. THAT "20 YO" DUDE IS WHAT KEEPS ME AWAY. LIKE HE SAYS, "DO WHATEVER HE HAS TO DO". ON A NICER NOTE, I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR SOUNDTRACK- PLS GIVE ME THE NAME OF THE FIRST SONG/ARTIST AND THE SAME FOR THE SONG AT 15:00. THANK YOU.

Did he ever reach water, and was a well made?

Oh the possibilities

Hey Cornelius, can you get Internet on the SLABS? I have seen a video on how to use Satellite Phone system to connect off grid.

I would love to know more about how you guys survive. Like how do they possibly have money to go to India or Alaska for that matter? I thought about coming out there a lot. But as far as I know you definitely need money to survive. How do you make that happen?

Great video girly. How did you lose your leg Cornelius?

if you ever hop out east id be honored to hop with you. ill mule the water

The Rattlers rnd there, Just Luv Cats . . . PS A lot of that gd Karma Is commin fr Hangin out with Coz. If I ever Wind up there in the Latter Dai's of my Life, I'm gonna lk that Man Up if he's still rnd.

Hey when yall get to belize in central america come play at my bar on caye caulker its called Durdwoods its a locals bar not a tourist spot

what was this filmed with? by the way, i love your videos and one day, i hope to meet you in person, providing that i'll be able to make it out there to the slab.

yeah boi

That nico guy does not look 20!

I like the ceiling but it would do better to put up something waterproof

If you don't have ssi or support how can you eat or get water in slab city

11:40 I Love what CaveMan says...

No God damn way pockets is only 20!!!

yea now im really curious as to what you do about water. i am someone who drinks A LOT of water so having it just for washing clothes and cooking wouldnt be enough. i drink about 3 liters a day or more

Song @08.18?

other then yt do you have any social media we can follow?

Dude at 17.59 looks way older than 20 years old just saying

hope someone keeps digging that well. If move out there I am gonna live underground.....or at least halfway.

i m from India, and it makes me really curious to see a couple of folks here wanting to visit India!!! would love to know just what made them think about visiting and what would they expect.....squalor all over? well nothing can be further from truth....love and peace to all....

Genevieve rules!!

What is name of the song that's playing from 7:22 to 10:38? It's a really cool song. :-)

Did the guy that is digging the well head to India yet? ☀️

are their many kids at slab city?

great!! very awesome!! i love to life soo ;)

I'm playing a game call GTA5 on the map there's a place that looks just like Slab City, I find myself enjoy being out there just walking around sight seeing out there, I wonder if this is because I have an interest in this kind of life style, yet just don't know it.

what are you going to do with the bag of water? it can,t be safe to drink.

🙏 it's your life live it how you want

Do you stay there in the summer?

Dude said………You got to say…..you pooped yourself……….lol……..

Coming down there for the 2019 Dirty Scouts Jamboree!

This place must be a panic on Halloween.

Pull out master

Coz, you gave nearly the same answers I did💜

Bazooka Joe's bubble gum 5cents???? hahahahahahaha 6 pieces :D

hey, i've sent $ to the PO Box but was returned to me. is that address no good?

Save me a spot

It irritates the shit out of me that the law hassles anyone about using storm drain/ravine water. Isn't it overflow from rain? No one owns the rain(although US seems to think they do) I'd use it too. Screw them!

I wonder how long that guy kept digging for fresh water before he gave up?😂

What do u do for $?

Not wearin Shoes or Sandals is a Good way 4 Parasites 2 enter the Body. Ring Worms & the Like enter that way. Esp in that kinda of Temperature. Keep that in Mind all who do that ?
