I Met The Most Interesting Human Beings in Slab City

- 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
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

@@eebbaa5560 Riot by Earl Sweatshirt !
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!
the vibe of this show and the editing fits rusty's personality so much I love it!
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 👏
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.
“More flies, the better food” one of my favorite quotes of the decade
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
How cool is easily my favorite series that the whole company puts out dude never stop
this one already bangs cuz of the earl sweatshirt in the beginning already know its gonna be straight vibes
Great Great video. Huge ups for being able to just converse with these people so openly
This series needs way more attention, best look into slab city I’ve seen, keep killing it Rusty
I love Rusty's face at 11:15 when the old bloke mentions his run ins with the police
Met Rusty at the Firestone Beer Festival earlier this month, so look forward to that
So this is where Rusty’s been
Love this series so much. I hope the Friday Beers socials are pushing this as much as they should be. It needs more attention
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..
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.
there he is
Good work rusty
Last interview was really special. Great video, rusty and the production team
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!
These vids rule, keep up the good work brotha
This is actually so cool
Intro song got me ready for a great episode!! Love the Earl and the series!
Rusty, don't say no one loves you, I LOVE YOU
i love this series so much
Such good vibessss I love it. The music, the people, its so chill n wholesome
this was amazing can’t wait to see this series grow
Thanks rusty
these videos are powerful man
10/10 content need more
Cooking in a hot spring for 3 days is INSANE
Realizing Rusty is the newest national treasure
this shit fire
Riot intro is fire
Between this docushort/review series and the 60 in 60's, this man is becoming the backbone of FB
When are we getting a How Cool? and Channel 5 crossover?
Riot being the opening score secures Rusty’s spot as chillest white dude
Not everyone needs to be an intellectual. That needs to be an embraced mentality for a lot of the gen pop.
Bro this is genuinely an amazing shirt doc, stoked on this for you man, keep the good vibes going brother.
Please keep this series going. They're all so good
Please keep this series going
this was beautiful thanks team.
Rusty keep following your heart brother. Inspirational
Come to Friday Beers for Angus and Cullagh, stay for Rusty.
Rusty is a man of the people. Really seems like he can vibe with everyone. Cool video
Best series on CZcams is back, let’s go‼️‼️‼️
This genuinely touched my heart ❤
incredible work
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
That old hippie goin on about the military gold sounds like the one from the Vice piece
Great video!
this was the quickest 14 mins of my life

This is life at its finest…
Christopher McCandless spent some time here, from the book/movie INTO THE WILD
This was insanely good dude
Genuinely informational. Your content continues to improve. Rusty and Will keep me from taking a ride on the Sewer slide.
Beautiful video.
These people need to start digging under the slabs and create cool closed off basements
Can we get a list of all the music in this episode?!
Somebody give Earl his credit
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 $$$$$
this was dope
Anyone know the song that starts at 10:26. So good great vid boys
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.
Rusty, you should head to Tijuana next
Does Rusty know he has a rugby league team in the UK named after him? The Featherstone Rovers. Would be cool to see him get out there to learn about league
yup, it's official, this is the best video I've ever watched
have u seen Ricky Stanicky?
@@gerryk1677 haven't heard of it! I'll check it out!
@@gerryk1677 No I haven't! I'll have to check that out!

Ah so it's a real life fallout outpost.
