Govt cant stand anyone who doesnt depend on them.
or obey them
You've got that right man.
I mean they relied mainly off government food stamps.
Time to start a new camp who's with me....lol
Im in
Me too
im in dawg
I'm in
Let's sell our assets and do it.
I didn’t know about this community until I just watched this...but in 1979 I visited the north shore of Kauai and remember I met a guy with long hair on the beach who told me he lived there in a tree house...now I finally know some of his back story!...he must’ve found some way to re-build after this happened.
I wish I could get more hippie minded souls here to my paradise! I moved the the beautiful island of Rota in the Northern Marianas over 6 years ago. It's a tropical Heaven and part of the USA. Come visit me! We are just north of Guam. Peace,Love and best wishes from "the friendliest island in the world"
Plus,we just legalized recreational marijuana!
On my way by slow boat!!!!!!!!
What's the wildlife like out there?
I'm thinking of creating an alternative community with friends in France. To achieve that I was thinking of visiting multiple communities to discover different lifestyles and communal living methods. Do you live in such a community?
It sounds like a beautiful place to live and too smoke marijuana w/o the hassel of the pigs knocking on your door. City life sucks!
As one who was born smack-dab in the middle of the 60s,and who felt like he missed a lot of it (been making up for lost time lately!),I long/wish/ pray for the time that this becomes the norm and not the exception....................
Hello beautiful person scrolling through the comments section.
Sending you positive and healing vibes and a huge virtual hug ❤
Thanks sis💙🦄🍄
Thanks much god bless 💘 of 🙏 💋 👐 👶 👶 🎸 🌹
i felt the love and subscribed to your channel
Peace, out.
Same to you love 75 this week you have made my birthday come early
I spent one night in Taylor Camp in August of 1970. I was 16 and had been spending summer vacation on Kauai before fall semester. I’ll never forget the incredible tree houses that were built.
I was in Kula, Maui, right down the road from Roses protea farm , in 1977 ; it was awesome, burning Taylor camp was a terrible thing to do.
My Dad lived here(: he was the little blonde boy in a lot of the pictures.
Wtf is wrong with some people. They live their lives, you live yours. They want to be different from you so just let them be? What’s the big problem? They’re not hurting anyone, you’re only hurting them.
In America, people can't stand the fact that people are able to be happy outside of the system. They have been told all their lives that they can find joy and success by falling in line and they haven't. In short, they are salty bitches. :p
I wish it was still there and i could go there
jones town. Havens gate. Rajneeshee movement. Manson family... Know your history sociolagy and psychology.
true, but they said that it was pristine land so they were most likely thinking of tourism or development in the area.
@@michaelchristopher2003 learn how to spell 🤣
Just because YOU can't live without all on impediments of the modern world doesn't mean that those of us who can shouldn't be allowed to.
an impediment is purely a personal matter according to choice.
@Max C. Could you be specific life where? It is human culture and how it is manipulated by political forces that are of interest ask a specific question I cannot answer a general one. sorry I have been USA lived in China for year as guest of CCP my interest is cultural speciation and what alters its course.
It goes to show that if someone is having too much fun, they'll call in authorities to snuff it out!!!
Yep...if it's free or makes you feel good, it scares the shit out of the elitist oppressors and tyrants that want to control every aspect of your life, cradle to grave.
@@tulsatombob2769 that's why anything done in a group is destined for failure...it's only those who go it alone who have the life of peace and bliss in solitude...hermits...monks...yogis living simply in nature...for sure there are men living to ripe old ages in peace and alone on islands around the globe...men living in forests and in caves...any way among people is doomed for various reasons
Loved it so much. Thanks for sharing this 😍
We can still teach these values to our kids today. I try in my own way. Love to all you people out there and your family, and your friends and your little ones
sending lotsa love and light to ya'll...
How sad the state would burn it, they were living the good live. Would like to have been alive then and be a hippie.
I lived in Hanakapiai Valley in 1972 and visited Taylor Camp many times. Nice people.. but far from perfect. I was always very happy to go back to the valley. That land was owned by Liz Taylor's brother..Howard.
What were some of the problems that you observed at Taylor Camp?
I WAD 19 YEARS OLD IN 1969 LOTS OF MEMORIES
Me too, Richard. Miss those days a lot, when the whole world stretched out like a golden shining thread before us.
I love you, my freind
I was also 19 in 1969...alot happened to me then...first love, first marriage, got pregnant, filed for divorce from crazy husband but who I really really loved...best music EVER!
I was 22. I'd been smoking pot for a couple of years but at 21 I made the mistake of voting for Nixon. By 1969 psychedelics had taught me enough about myself and humanity that I never cast another vote as anti-human as that one. I didn't know about this commune. This story is inspiring.
What a cool short story of a place of peace and love ....
That's so dope!
Let's go there! I wanna see it too lol
Absolutely beautiful awesome need need need more of that
You guys obviously had it Way Too Good. People got jealous. I was part of a similar (in some ways) Compound called the Phoenix Iron Works. It was the first cooperative Artist Live-Work space in Oakland, Ca. which housed from 15-32 people, kids, animals AND 285 PIANOS. U might think, Oh, Oakland. How many weapons did you carry? But it wasn't really like that. We were fortunate to find a 900,000 sq ft. building so deep in the inner city it was really "beyond the ghetto" to an area where the rail yards lay decaying, not far from the container shipping terminals. It was really an abandoned industrial neighborhood that nature had already started to reclaim. We just helped. One of the most memorable times was with pickax, shovel and breaker bar breaking up blacktop and reclaiming The Earth. We had several raised bed gardens. But it had to come to an end too. When the Loma Prieta Quake hit, our building was condemned and we were the victims of a Legal "Taking" by The State.
That's tragic. At least it was good while it lasted, everything in our lives is temporary, including our lives themself.
Was this on Second Street? Used to be a foundry.
Cool--im ready to join a co-op now with all the wars and viscious people in the world today-----
I want to Live in a world without any monetary system at all where everything is free.
Then what's the incentives for production/ innovation? There aren't any. You're crazy.
the incentives would be the reason why you are making the product and as far as innovation goes we humans tend to always think of stuff so innovation shouldn't be a problem.
Wouldn't work.
@@oc4026 It wouldn't work for those who prize money and material goods over freedom and love.. It wouldn't be allowed to work by the same people because they would see people with nothing who are happier than themselves so they would destroy it out of envy and hate..
Cant wait to see how you forge yourself a single hammer and a few nails out of the black sand you will have to smelt at 2500 degrees. What are you going to use as fuel to smelt that hammer? Coal from a thousand miles away? Awesome, better start walking with no clothes, its a long journey. You didnt spend months making yourself a loom and some fabric from the wild grass growing around your "property"? Man, you are dead in under 2 months from exposure.
People who decry money, never once stop to think if there would be any chance whatso ever to survive without the 1000 things made by corporations, for you to survive and enjoy life. Money isnt the problem, its the lack of it and the greed associated with families hording it, the banks printing it and the governments building bombs with it. You might as well condemn salt and try to make your own. Fool.
How dare people try to live for free and be happy that's a damn shame there's a place like that burned down I was only two years old
Joseph Atnip e
Damn the man!
Interesting how the people who never lived there or were even alive then, are the first to vehemently attack it!, while the majority of people who lived there, or similar places, all had great experiences. The naysayers are simply jealous that they have to work boring 9-5 jobs, pay outrageous rents, and have no friends and never get laid. The communal experience basically took care of all of those things. Of course nothing's perfect, but when you're on the outside looking in, it's easy to criticize. There are tons of offices and companies that fail everyday.
Ha! People are salty
Communal living would be the best way to go. Anyone know of some good ones now? Naysayers suck! Just a bunch of boring dead squares
Super video
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE. so sad its gone. Time to recreate it!
We lived on that property well after everything came to an end and everybody had left. It was a beautiful place to live but at that time it got harder to find work that could support living on Kauai.
Damn, I was 5-y.o and until now(53-y.o), ONLY NOW I HEARD OF THAT PLACE........very interesting!!
Seems to be more famous now, than when it existed. That said, *everybody* in Hawaii knew about Taylor Camp. On Maui, there was Banana Patch, on property owned by David Joseph, and Makena Beach(es... also "free" communities.
I want to live in these
hello from the kitchen of black bear ranch. ic.org is a great place to start.
Come to Converse, Texas.
I remember places like that, and a lot of communes held on almost into the 80s.It was a different time and a different world. So much seemed possible, but it all fell flat on its face.
Some still exist.
Sounds like to me they had "a good thing going" until the gooberment stepped in and fked it up!
The 1960's were finished Before 1969. As the Haight Street Riots show....and Altamont. And this life style lived strong in the Santa Cruz mountains. But its long gone
I spent the night at Taylor Camp in the summer of 1970.
In about 3 years I will live like this!! Can't wait
Are you getting any closer to your plan? I'm thinking of creating an intention community In France in 3 years
I know a lot of people that have problems concentrating so I was thinking about starting a concentration camp.
This is so cool! are there any cool places like this now? If so where?
All of the kids are now computer programming geniuses
Halo Hipi ! Vi ste jedini s`Kojima sam sklopio mir , makar da nije sve pozitivno bilo sto ste izradjivali . Desi se i u boljim familijama . Ja i danas zivim kao Hipi , ustvari sam i danas Hipi . Kada se smislite da su i nasi kerovi bili drugaciji nego svi ostali po svitu. Pozravljam vas sve redom ! Zvonimir
Sounds so dreamy omg it’s therapeutic
My Pops was that cute little Blonde dude. Lol
So many cool stories from my family about this place.
I am old enough to have done this,just too damn cold in Northern Michigan.
No excuse, so many of us want to do this, but lack the courage. DO IT. DONT LET AGE AND LOCATION STOP YOU. Move somewhere else, there are hundreds of these settlements all over the world. Dont leave anything to be regretted later in life - live it!
Sirmadness _ I need to find one that will take in under aged people that is located in California or nearby states, so if you know of any let me know
Avery Sapphire I live in the UK, im afraid. i wouldnt know
+Avery Sapphire There are but I can't tell you here. If you look though, you'll find them
Slab City, California, over close to Arizona. Off of I-10 highway.
How did I know the story would end that way!?
My people! I miss y'all Namaste still on the journey ☯️
👌 thanks much god bless 💘 🙏 💋 👐 👶 👶 🎸 🌹
Man, that is truly paradise lost! makes me sad!
Paradise lost alright. A bunch of hippies move into what was a pristine wild area and trash it.
Of course it could never last. That's why its so important to do it in the first place. Although only an experiment, its important to our cultural identity. We think freedom is our heritage, but the hippie movement proved that it is not an absolute freedom. Its a relative freedom.
Lesson 1: Don't just squat. Get clear legal title to the land you dwell on.
I want to be there..........it's awesome.......no computers, tablets, tv, video games........The world needs to watch the "Kindness Diaries".........and be kind to one another.............
No Facebook
visiting Kauai in 1971 i backpacked all over the island..i never saw Puff the Magic Dragon but i will never forget the trip of a life time..before the state police kicked everyone out except the tourists..
Sweet!
i really wish i was alive in those times...i feel like it would be freeing and i wouldn't have to call my parents every 30 minutes and then they ask me why i'm always on my phone. these times seem simpler and a lot cooler
My mom and dad traveled with the carnival 22 years that I grew up. It sounds just like this place.
I still live that way
I'll never understand why some people get so mad and burn down a place where peacefully people live. Very sad
We can't have no anarchy. This here's America now and y'all get American "freedom"
"You're in America where you're free,to do what we tell you"-Bill Hicks
Sad that the government ended these people's way of life... but this is not the entire story of this matter...
How someone can knowingly burn someone's home is beyond me?
If I could travel to any time and place, that might be it.
I believe if Taylor passed away then he is apart of me. We have the same ideas!!! That's my dream home.
I'm surprised a government let it exist for so long, 8 years is a pretty good run. Pay taxes or be demolished 😂
Sounds awesome 🙄my daddy lived in California and was a hippie from the late 60's
Does he still have his hippie ID card? All hippies carried ID cards. They had to meet certain requirements set by the pop media in order to qualify as hippies. If they qualified, they were REALLY DISTINCT and DIFFERENT from everybody else. Also, hippies had to pay their dues, or they would be banned, and have to go back to being straight. This meant that they had to cut their hair short and wear shoes and get jobs. They could requalify after paying back dues to The Hippies after one year, but in that year's time, they were vulngerable to the Christians, a rival people-box established by the simp-pop culture movement. Christians learned how to be good liars, and to appreciate luxury.
Cant have people living free can we, it might be contagious !
@lrenturn MAGA 2020
If there ANY great thinking people like this out there, let's get together, find somewhere that we can purchase just like this beautiful property, and start ANOTHER community just like this one!!!!!!! I for one along with my wife and daughter need to leave this banker infested realm and get back to mother earth and BE ALIVE!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE join me!!!!!!!!
So have you done anyhting yet?
Come here to Rota in the Northern Marianas! Check it out,legal marijuana,beautiful weather, fantastic Chamorro culture. We are known as "the friendliest island in the world"
@@stephenmiller3939 Moved to Saipan Marianas 10 months ago, doing everything in our power to stay. Jobs are not easy to find, weed is rediculously bad saipan sativa, picked months early and hermafroditic to no end, but thankfully I got some Sensi Seed Bank breeders packs in and now we are blasting some damn great herb. Loving the beaches, hating the chinese, loving the chamorro, hating the corrupt government. Jeez isnt the Rota mayor indited for corruption right now? Hahaha...drop in the bucket. Started our nice little fruit farm outside of Kagman...... been looking for artistic chill friends on Tinian and Rota..... whats rent look like over there? Got a building for us? Ive got the forging and lapidary tools to go nuts with for the rest of our lives, and the rock collection to boot. Lets chat....
@@greyone308 I've been here on Rota for almost seven years now I love it. Rent isn't bad and when you get to know the people you can get it even cheaper I have lots of room here if you want to camp for a while I got about two hectors out in the jungle near our taga Quarry I could use help fixing up the place. Peace
❤🌺☮️🌸ohh beautiful life
so they set it on fire,sound familiar, right
Where are the children now today? Anyone know how they turned out? Would be excellent to have a follow up 50 years on.
Living the dream
Easy to live like that in perfect weather, unlike 99% of the world's human population. But good to have a vacation from real life for a little time anyhow.
Most of the tropics are uninhabited, 99% of the worlds population needs to move. Its not healthy to live in cold climates and not get any sun.
How they got beers?
I reckon they all come ta China Creek road in the Emerald Triangle built a new camp
Now the hippies have moved to Converse Texas.
Tragic. To just be, to live one’s life always involves paying those who have more....more power, money, land, dogma, hate, disgust, people...whatever, just place more in front for the masters and less for the oppressed and subservient.
I would have loved to be part of that and it is what so many good people dream of, but how did that work out in the end could it continue? Let's say it is a matter of Human Nature and corruptibility that if you do not protect yourself, then someone less decent will come to harm you.
hello from the kitchen of black bear ranch. we are an open door anarchist commune. we've been here since 1968 and plan to continue into the future.
Black Bear--Whate state--Calif??
A Human being has to become an adult at some point in their lives. Some just later then others. But, well, it was time for all of them to grow up too. I hope their lives turned out well.
That's what government do when you cannot protect yourself
I moved to Kauai looking for a more laid back way of life. One day I hope to find a little commune to belong to 💗🤙🏼
Interesting video BUT: The ‘findingutopia.org’ website mentioned at the end of this video says in my browser that it is ‘not secure’ - jfyi (as@18.04.19)
Must have felt like the Native Americans did getting kicked out and children watching their home burn .
Give me a break.
Was no secret camp. RIP Tom Loskill great organic gardner.
Sounds like a great place. It’s too bad the state thought it was okay to commit arson and throw their lives into chaos.
As long as the people were healthy and the children (and any farm animals) were treated well, what’s the problem here?
I’ve been looking for a community like this for sometime now I wish to be surrounded by like minded individuals
Sad its not there anymore Thats terrible the burn it down.
This was the beginning of insanity we know today
yeah...burning down the place? really? why not just tear it down and use what ever you got out of it for something rather than burning it down. that's almost unheard of sort of seems like they were sending a message idk.
The human compulsion towards collectivism, that which is different is a threat, we call ourselves modern civil society but are we truly?
And bigotry isn't always about color it can take the shape of hatred of culture that is not as yours.
If i could escape from the life were people think you have to be like everyone else and be "normal" i would go as fast as i can. Who wouldn't want to live happy and free rent free just working for what you want teatching our children the real way and not to be like other people and be unique.
'Armaments, universal debt, and planned obsolescence-those are the three pillars of Western prosperity. If war, waste, and moneylenders were abolished, you'd collapse. And while you people are overconsuming the rest of the world sinks more and more deeply into chronic disaster.'
Aldous Huxley, Island
@lrenturnno need to, its mythology
Thing is at that time a lot of what happened was spontaneous and it took sometime for the sheriff scratching his head trying to figure out what to do with this pesky hippies...till the taxpayers told him if he wanted to keep his job he better do something......Also lots of trust funds babies in those communes back then....Also the native people of those Islands were some of the fiercest warriors on the planet...still are.
Let's reconstitute the movement [LOL]
THE POLICE WHO BURNT DOWN THE CAMP AND THE HIGHER UPS who gave orders to the police should GO TO JAIL AS THEY HAVE committed a crime a severe heinous act of utter stupidity.........
THE HIPPY MOVEMENT WAS NOT BROuGHT DOWN BY THE POWER STRUCTURE IT FELL APART BY ITS OWN DEFICIENCIES. "yeah man were going back to the land" until they realised how hard it was to grow a godamed carrot....
Well, it seems that they survived there for a number of years - and, is it really so hard to grow a goddamned carrot? Have you tried it?
@@tetrahedron1000 , No, just growing carrot is not hard, but farm life involves much more that growing a few carrots. It requires hard work, as anyone who has lived on a farm can tell you, and these communes were marginal economic enterprises with low incomes. Most of the kids were middle class suburban types who could not adjust to a life of hard work and low income. Also, most of these communes were secular, and secular communes simply have a much higher failure rate. Their members give up easier, for whatever reasons.
I'm sad
I'll be rich very soon, I'm starting a camp like this.
It's sad that humans aren't allowed to just live on the planet as humans. They were using the land for sustenance, not stealing anything, feeding and caring for themselves. It's pretty self responsible.
Visiting native Kauai family in 1972. We cruzed everywhere around the island and to take me to a nudie beach so we ended up on the beach. There's a river leading towards the shore there I noticed a young man in the stream, he seemed weiry of us clothed but he continued to bath then he stood up and really soap himself, and they thought he was hiding himself from us. That was the only naked person that I saw! But one of my guy friend was hoping to see ladies. Ahh too bad!!. It doesn't bother me if people enjoy being naked under the sun if in seclusion, but you know people do get curious what naked people look like with no cover to their private parts. Only in Kauai.
Dd wish u were right. All monies shall be gold silver only. I think one of the amendments said there were 3 types of levies, not income. At any rate its involuntary servitude
Laws and political units are made to control what you cannot have or do.
There were a few community like this in my area (Hudson Valley, NY) and the people were wonderful. I wish I had gotten more involved! Maybe it's time to bring the concept back again! I can just see Donald Trump digging up potatoes!
Are there any fun freedom places left anywhere? I want to be free, and actually have some real fun!
some people just live in the middle of no where, it's been done here in the US, Hawaii isn't the best place to setup shop for that sort of thing.
Why not? Great beaches, etc. If not where is the best places to have the same type of scene?
@lrenturn You make no sense, sound just like a Thatcher, Nixon, Reagan or a trump. Listen these people work real hard. They just dont work in uptight miserable offices for some asshole that looks at them like one more number to fire. They work like the pioneers and Abe Lincoln. These folks work the fields, farm, build stuff to sell, make furniture, tie dye t shirts, leather goods, jewelry etc..they make their living their way, they got the balls to do it independently, so screw this greedy, hateful, heartless, evil modern uptight society. I want to go live with them and work the fields!
@@michaelcraig9449 And shit where???
Theres 1 in northern california, forget name- black bear creek maybe. Beautiful property! They said in their video if anyone wants to change them than they can leave. I would want to grow a garden, raise chickens, etc so i dont feel they would accept me. They live off food stamps
cave could possible flood at times as it looks
They were in a tsunami zone. That's why they lived up in the trees.
Such a shame. Sad
