or on top of it? yeah, yeah. you can see the door, you only see the door when the door's open. yes. these are one of the phenomenal is that a that i've seen out here because i had friends, couple of friends that are witnesses. i talked to him about the said, the solve the same thing that i saw before. so i knew i was seeing things, you know what i mean? that's what makes you real with these other people see the same thing that i saw. remember, you're all champions here. you're all special. god, not you very much. he's never forgotten you. he's right, period. and when the midst of her mess these right there waiting for you. well, here and i, i live here since i was 5 years old. so sorry, 5 years old man, i grew up here and you, what i learned live here. the bad you learn to love to people, you know, because i'd be like a lot 0 great. i don't really know what you mean to do because i asked, i know they have i apologize to have what happens in everything else while it's

being real about myself and being really got to because you have to be real. a real within 1st, you know, have to little over 32 years ago. i find myself in a really, really dark place in my life. uh, you know, no home, nothing. i was just my wife and i uh, you know, she's like the lower now, but we just had nothing and someone reached out to us. so someone offered this help and we just want to get back to these beautiful people out here. i'm telling us such a blessing. we come out once a month in order just that you don't speak to them about the lord. pray for them, offer them clothes we do raffles and make it exciting the books for the children. and that's what we're doing now. here, religious people say they go back thing tangled up in their about their own ways an interpretation of the word. but if you break it down and you just take the word as it is door and strictly that nothing else. that's how you make your word seekers. issues virginia, is it, people are the religious check?

don't understand. i've never heard of like all things for our enjoyment. they don't understand that and just show but you know, rules and regulations kind of, it's just guidelines of, of sure how to do that. right. and do it wrong because your driveway and wrong way of doing stuff. so but you try to use by the words like oh yeah, i'd try my utmost to, to, to buy a word. and people sometimes will say, well, what do you, what you're doing here? what you're doing the well, what to do is not worry about it. that's between me and the creator. the, you know, just to be honest, i'm a drug addict and i have been for 25 years. i quit shooting dope probably about 10 months ago because even though i work every day and tony's my weird and i work

every day and you know, and very a few bags broken year choose leverage. don't cause you know the brand new to me. i'll fix it all the kids around here. if they need advice, they come over to hopefully they don't pick up real expensive on that. they say i like a bite. i give it to. so i get bags of clothes, you know, mean not all the time, but regularly enough. and when they come in, i tried to get through them right away. i try not to leave anything in the bags and then i, so i pulled the t shirts out. i pulled dresses and hang them up, nice clothes. i won't like to see them less than the bags. people know you already, and they the night holders and you can spread, isn't the committee exactly. people typically were there close until they flipping fall apart, or i got tires with the tires for days. i feel like when i'm not aware of the time now. i feel like i feel like i'm an acre, you know? like mike came, where's my task?

when you, when people are even people, when i sit there like, uh oh they're like, uh, aren't you the guy with the guy? oh says yep, we're going to town right now. where does this one look watch with. yeah, that's right. that don't know true. the trunk, the trash. why should we go? looks it right here, bro. this is the best deal in this lab. oh no, sometimes this is like, like a dream to me almost. you know, like, this is what my yard will look like. if i had a yard, you know, of all these rocks and all these, o tires and trees dobs, all these rocks. i brought all this up here, but by myself, without a car i'm doing by myself. so man, it's a lot of work shift. this is heavy if you know, uh so well,

i'm gonna put it in the ground. and then once i get it in the ground, i'm gonna put a fence around it, and then it's going to be the, the toiletry is gonna have toys all around it. so this is how i make it off move. right. uh so uh, carver, got with the shovel and then let's go to this one over here. there's this one as less rocks, but not so i take out all the rocks so it doesn't mess up the tools. but i just wanted to just find planned it out and make it look like that for my whole yard fib steak size. uh maybe 2 days to get it all done. how often do i do? uh well, uh once a week. yeah. it's a lot of work for sure. like i'm making it look nice for everyone to see, you know,

number i'll show you about those for us 1st impressions. what like, you know, part of the reason why i wear a tie. you know, like, uh so i look nice. so when people 1st see me, well, that's one way or 2 up to people come here for the are to look at our i think the my, my places i one of the newest places. what the newest are, you know what i mean? like for people to come and see you spend a while. so this is all i have a little can't walk here to go back stage and getting a lighting and stuff. yeah, we had it for go ahead and say, i think it was about 8 months it was rolling. so if the to yeah, yeah, and it was uh, faded and several couches there and, and bar adult. mm hm. so there was

a stage there. we didn't really actually use it that much for a stage. oh really? no. no one makes any money out here. we really do try to share with each other as much as possible. i think most of us are pretty well convinced the economy so in, in the toilet. you think so? probably isn't it, it's built to fluctuate, but at the same time it makes it extremely volatile and it's, it's, it makes it so it's like a bunch of plate spinning. and all it's gonna take is that one freaking place that, that them it. and they're all going to go down. so when it happens, i don't know, but we do look an awful lot like a country that is losing its balance. and that's economy. yeah, i ran, i worked with quite large corporations that their data analysis needs, which is really just forecasting information that's like, but they're bracing the not a lot say yeah, i signed non disclosures often with most of the companies that i worked with and.

and i just always kept it that way. but since i've been here in this lab, uh, i was that i will also, you know, my also was a ranger and arrange runner as someone that runs the bombing rage. you get deeper into it. is it anything so far? this guy didn't really a bomb or missile from a jack or from anything? obviously that's where all the brass is, where the impact area. and do i go to the impact area? yeah, i go there quite a bit like miscarriage. sometimes i'm scared of. you're scared. why do you keep going back? i keep going back because that's what i know how to do. you know, so do you collect the shells? yeah, i collect the shelves, nebraska shelves. i don't touch, nothing is not the black shells. i a good good rule of thumb is if you don't know

what it is, don't touch it. i know guys it got blown up after 50 cal. that was all banks. this is the head from this falling of boom. there's gorsline, there's still a go through a tank. blue is it's a blue tracer, and we use it. so every, when they're shooting, it's like a 1000 bullets a minute, right? so you want you to see it in the nighttime, the bullets. so every 5th one is a tracer. and what a tracer means is you can see the which way, the bush line in the dark time, and so as to train the military. so see which way they're shooting a complex. if you make a home, then you're more likely to become more a part of the community and in be a part of it and not like a leech on it, you know, to provide something, you know,

even if it's just support, right. a lot of people need a lot of originals for people need to run or they need people to care about them. and some people, that's their only job out here is just to be a caring individual. and they have other people like me that have a lot more means if you will. and so i, you know, i'm, i can easily talk to people. some of the people here can't talk to people they, they're shy or they have whatever elements they have and make it difficult for them to be able to talk to every person who comes into town. so because i can talk to all these people to come into town, i can let them know the stuff that we watch, the stuff that we liked, the stuff that we need. and then those things come here and there via people. and they don't always come here, sometimes it goes to the races or the soup kitchen or the range. but that's all letting people know that everybody here does something. and then the ones that can talk to people, talk to people and share the message. oh, hello fanny. hello laura,

how are you? this is a for of john batch. how are you ladies? you're right. how are you? oh you do. oh, perfect. no, i'm the senior people out here. would you like? no, thank you. no to go. yeah. so right, are some ladies from overseas, you know, then you are well, there's going to be too many people visiting from outside of the us. yeah. before you cross the world, i mean everywhere, anywhere and everywhere. i really go down to just the stories. yeah. yeah. there's a tourist here and a lot of the times that you really don't even make it up has salvation mountain so they don't really get to see the range, the oasis. so if you get up above the hill, you get to explore what's out here. and i know there's a bad rap and all that for what does, how can i go on here? but i guess if you don't dabble in that lifestyle or whatnot, it doesn't really exist. so i don't know his ard wonder explain. you just have to

experience labs and by doing that you have to live here though. hey luke, this was a tanner. i was in the probably this is karen sound. yeah, a little bit at a time and i get it cleaned up. i get all a big job junior there and believe it or not, a lot of that stuff and get even those burn up here to get utilize, you know, and i want to try to find somebody clean. i'll just step out and have this car payments. you know, like do graffiti on it and some people are very good and the yeah, this was a good looking car. it was white headed convertible type. married. and then somebody ran in there one day. so it was on fire by the time i came out though,

or maybe she much on power. plus i didn't know if there's gas and i didn't want it to blow blow me up. yeah. the the in this thing of the continent of boxes. oh send. we into

rough, with the rest of the world. we're going to relate with the wind in terms of donations on, in terms of tray assets, a month to define what she wants political assets might define ourselves. cultures also come define ourselves critically. the cause of your guys, no choice, but to move forward forward. she will want to know why you have a fire. you know, so we had a fire that there was stated, the people who lived here about 10 years, 20 yards from it. it is massive. me and i can can me here? yeah, we woke up in them. i woke up in the morning because my feet were hot because my

baby is on fire. so that was a huge loss because bad like, uh, uh, $20.00 to $30000.00 worth of equipment in there. which i'm starting to like collect items of it, but it's kind of uh a besides like my own work like uh, robotics in programming and art, digital art and stuff and i fix telephones out here. i take old phones that people don't need me or that we find the discarded and i get a phone working and i give it to the next person. so i have a list of the less the other people to the phones the, the you see how long

a frame is it and it only to of 25 managed word to burn judy brown. just phase oh, pub, of good flags, smoke crazy. you all, you gotta hear, you know, the whole story and a girl lived there. she had a bad, you know, are she had a band where she lived up there, she traded it for this house. and then, you know, the other person you, people just hate, you know, and, and because the band they got to bang, you know, they ended up towing it out here to the cops cuz arriving and some they weren't supposed to. so now they're mad and know, come over here and burn down your, your freaking house, man. you know stupid. you know, just stupid. it's yeah. yeah. make it absolutely. they burn it down because they're like, right stuff that we burned down. then the people won't have nor staying and i'll have to leave where you got people around your do some down. i don't even get down

there for sure. what are the basic rules you think the don't the and if you ground, you'll find out up which we also got rid of the bars. we have like 3 or 4 bars that it pops up and hard liquor and people being able to hang out all night long with no repercussions, no responsibility, no accountability, things kind of got crazy. so all the bars burned down one summer a few years back and they haven't really popped back up. so now we don't really have that all night drinking arina anymore. the hard core drugs often accompanied the bars, right? so you had the same people that were selling alcohol were the ones that were selling the hard core drugs as well. i don't see you. i don't know. that's not true . i try to be an honest person as much as possible. i still lightest in hearts,

but either one of the pictures there's about a 50 or well go down and we'll see you guys later today. yeah. you to say hello to your dog. oh yeah. so i see loves to get a sense. we've got this place called slab mart, where i got a bunch of joke over there that i'm not taking it to the job. i'll take it to slide more and dump it there, and my friends will be grateful because they walk through and they pick up, you know, like anything like this. we go to flat mart, i'm throwing that away as a perfectly good all sorts of thing. so that's what i do when i come here, bro. uh so i look for a move when i come, i'm looking for trash bags that aren't ripped, helping you. you know, so the error won't be like, oh man, you're breaking into people's houses or something and you know, there's no way people are throwing all their stuff away. but, you know, check them out here for all the time. you know, like i live right there. so i can see a flood trailer or trash close on a drive,

driving by shelby the 1st one over here in the slabs. we like using a recycling the trash and making it into something some kind of are, you know, cheap how this all started right here. the escape park is beautiful. good says lindsey swimming pool. i'm running across from here. and i had adult flashlight. well, i'm ready. now looking back with, i'm seeing i didn't see the ground in front of me. i went based 1st in here, but i got up and brushed me up off a little bit, got distracted, and said, by the way, this is escaped part. i mean a swimming pool and but it had dirt in it. we cleaned it all out. right. there concrete, people in grants that we used to do, just drop back bill, but there is no rock around here. so i was like, i found the rebar source around here, concrete work in general like a city escape park. like you check out the, they'll be like not even half this big,

and it'll cost them many millions, most of that probably insurance property and they've got around 10 minutes. be. yeah, they, there's a kickbacks. there's bunch of corruption goes along with building things to the government, but no, this is pretty safe for a d i y project like uh, it's cheap to do this stuff. yeah. so it really didn't have too many people show me what to do. i've got a little glimpse of it, but i've never really been on any other d i. y scenes was kind of figure everything out just researching it. it's really sweet, the costs and we realize it will never be done. but it will always keep going. getting better and better. yeah. the more it gets built, the more people come, the more go you get this straightened. hang out. have a great time. the image jam. so

that's coming up later this month. get which will be super awesome. usually a lot of people come out. i know there's going to be some people vending stuff like that. and so hopefully we can get some more of the stuff for it before everything starts. i mean, the frameworks already set up and everything, it's going to be a matter with our bodies. hold out on it and moving around. a lot of a heavy concrete. we'll definitely get you back. and carlos already has a fractured risk. this year. i won't say anything that's going to terminate or make this basically the bad way i can do this is my place. you know, i live here. i love people. you know what? i will, i want more people to confiscate, swapped me ro go in here, get to vendors, and start making the money the right way. feel we're not to do it. the a stream of money that comes in here is doris. the art work. well, i've got a couple of people starting to get the idea on their artwork. come and make displays by the roadside. you know what we need to kind of grow that. i imagine us

being a place where a la, a lady moves into a new apartment in palm springs and says that, well, really needs a painting. let's go to a slab city and see what they got of the. so there's a thing is called slab, just is sub just this is us like the slab or it's kicking out whoever needs to be kicked out or, you know, run and you know, i don't like doing this for, you know, if you, i don't want extra money or i've been through a lot of my life, bro. been through a lot of the drive by and 96. my best friend oscar hereto got shot in the head right in front of me. are 60 years old. so i've been to a lot of, you know, cuz the trying to dig it out to hollywood. the draft early saw you the at the time it was split up very,

you can always rely on the if you got a problem that needs to be solved and i can solve it. if you've got a revolver that needs to be resolved, but can resolve this when it's got a little light of the nice of you find the next feel that item for you, for you to draw a model that needs to be caught up with the model to look how many bodies they just found. go down here. it is way more to if they didn't, they didn't put out a news, you know, to police say another does library, certain other there's library. don't manage people die. we're still being murdered here all the time. and i'm a little boy that won't go to for nobody. you know, you have is your, they and be what does this appear like one minute are there and then i was it all. yeah, they loved it, but they left a whole camp where i did have of the day they trailer data, all the all the for the state is mailed out in the mail and i end up didn't tell. nobody does not. right. but there is no investigation here. i believe i believe this for a long time that we, we've had a serial killer romano. like nationally, down here we go. so i'm afraid he died. so there's happened,

i hear it. it's always the same thing. the issue, the, the people since you've been here have a lot of cave and, uh, uh, kids before everyone else. but for myself, you know, i would say my morals have changed. i do, you know, and how do i think that they changed is, you know, before i came here where, you know, i was, someone died and i'd be like, no man that's got be able to take their stuff. well, now i'm like, man, i'm gonna be over there and i'll get that stuff in or when they're dead, they're not going to use it. and so i'm going to use my get when i'm there, take advantage of ours. and you've got that on video for proof

a john this everybody, if you decide to come out here besides the keep your morals, there was an because this place to up real bad head. i too much freedom and too much for lady too much freedom for anybody is what freedom there can be too much to say i liked and spared a little bit and then see what kind of colors coming out of them off. and i cannot let you know how your 2nd one see what they do. i assume the little bit. i'm not trying to get too busy tasted. if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for the crew. can i say your caterpillars coming down? but once you get here, you become a butterfly and if you need to leave this place, at least you have just experienced. and so people out there that, you know, the, there is a place where you become what you want to become. and that's here. and you know,

there's a whole community that will support any idea that anybody has the my kids are you know, i don't, i don't have them right now. so much opiates a jury trial in alaska city or i can see my kids. so there, i mean, it is a seller and well, whenever, whenever i see my kids again, you know, when they asked and asked, what were you doing this whole time? no, that's what i've been doing all the time. i'm is, i'm 11. i'm actually happier. you know, i, i can be who i am and i get judged by that for me. you know, uh, my senior, the hell here you know, and why would i leave and put myself in a spot where i'm going to be homeless there. right now. i'm homeless, i have
