is fresh out of cincinnati in two thousand and twelve after being unemployed for months he hears about the boom happening in with us. at first he works for an oil company but soon his desire for independence takes over and he sets up his own service company. bought the company and we had a sweeper truck and the situation went from a manageable situation where i would get like some sleep at night and i could like keep up with like daily activities like taking showers every day to like an all out sprint trying to like keep up with so much work it was amazing go from one job to

the next to the next to the next to the next as it is now i have not right now i have not taken a full day off in over nine months and i'm very thankful i'm here and not complaining one bit very thankful for the money an opportunity here was like someone who had been starving for years for like money like all of a sudden there's like. all you can eat like buff a day and all you have to do is go out there and get the work done and people give you money to do it was amazing this year i'm probably going to be making around two hundred fifty thousand dollars is a lot of work involved a lot of work it's twenty four hours a day seven days a week. well i guess i should get back to work. here in an inhospitable handful of contrasts before the boom willison was a small conservative agricultural town and in many ways this aspect seems untouched everything has its own place include. border emptiness and silence the streets are

practically deserted it's a town that has motion this within its history and past. then you have another town the one that needs to welcome this new wave of residence oil company settling down a large numbers with the goal of extracting at least a million barrels of oil a day. this is the one we unpacked like a raft gift and a real without so growing up with a kind of uniformity copy and paste prefabricated never cost me. investors are right in that everything based upon a population that should be multiplied by for. the first game of the spring of two thousand ford saying i work there are neighbors they did a hydraulic fracturing and i was looking at how much it will not cost me to stay somewhere you know is going to stand a whole tale it was like one hundred dollars and i was a no ok hundred dollars a day seven days a week seven hundred dollars of course

a whole week and so i just came to the conclusion you know what i'll get me a van fix it up so that you know i can be comfortable in it it makes financial sense because i get to keep the majority of my money versus just just on the way on housing and stuff like that. is my first ever. get worse. and that's because the. jury cannot survive very long it is van where winter temperatures sometimes drop of the minus twenty. for the time being nothing is ready everything has happened so quickly it's very hard to find a place to. make shift housing known as man camps mine up by the hundreds on the edge of town or close to drilling sites. in. these dormitory towns built by necessity and empty lots after research when one hundred and one hundred fifty dollars a night. two meals included. two thousand and twelve the population living in these

men cans was estimated to be over ten thousand guys phone and now to florida nevada chicago cleveland you name it i've seen the license plate. every week you know this is the best thing going for single men you know i mean that's what i mean it's fun wages and time off to the everything you know the whole country should be this way. because. this place will put like a stress on you it will put a weight that you'll be carrying around on you and you won't really realize it and when i went home i came back i noticed that weight pressure that whatever you want

to call it it builds up over time for me and. you you wouldn't come up here and there some reason for you to come up here you know nobody was moving up here into the two thousand and one i was moving up here in two thousand and one or two thousand and so it wasn't until ok i can gain something financially i can i can improve my situation i can better my status my situation or on the level that i met in life now and that's that's what the all fill up here really brought to a lot of people who were smart about it and save their money. because i'm tell you man i was asking a lot of pressure. there's not much help here to do to keep you busy focused on something you know you know keep your time occupied you know is really allow me to save all of my money you know in a position where you know. i can go back home about your house. i just like the

sound of it back and go back home about your house take a for house not a car now a car but a house. all around with just in the boom lisa's footprints on the landscape the fast as it cleans are covered for good by these horses for as far as the eye can see sweeney slowly to extract the black calls from the subterranean depths. it became urgent to build four lane highways all around town in order to accommodate the lines of trucks transporting all kinds of pipes beams sanded water used in tracking. nothing was planted in advance everything was done in a hurry because of the immediacy of the work of the enormous influx of workers investors and the unemployed rushed in chasing their dream to grab a piece of pie. german

gun austrian gun italian american and my rifles just in case i need to kill someone . most americans have guns in their house. and at the foot of my bed is a bible. most of my adult life was spent in universities doing teaching or research i went to the university of maine and got several degrees there in agricultural engineering information systems then i worked for mit on the human genome project. there came a time when there was a recession there was high unemployment i spent a lot of time reading the news on the internet and i kept reading about the williston the oil boom the bokken shale. i wasn't doing anything i was going into debt so i decided to go from an area that had almost ten percent unemployment to an

area that had less than one percent unemployment so. i came looking for work but i didn't know what kind of work to take. so i fell into wireline it was very difficult at the beginning i had. accidents while pulling a trailer i could have been killed there were explosives in the trailer and it's fun three hundred sixty degrees and the explosives came out the back. but my boss didn't fire me they gave me another chance after the first year i was very pliable i had a marketable skill. it pleases me that i had to hand a small hand but nevertheless i changed my career late in life and involved myself in american energy independence and in weaning this country of our foreign oil dependency. america would sell its own mother for energy.

i live in st george utah. and my family's down there i needed to come up here to make some money to pay off debt and stuff we're getting there. i went to school and became an teach school elementary school i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year and drive a truck so i chose to drive truck. i were usually twelve to fourteen hours to get my truck around eight o'clock in the morning and i work till eight o'clock at night you know somewhere between me and i

. mentally. not only. physically fatigued. but it's mental fatigue also. this is the moment that i like the best. reached down enough to be everything stops vibrating all the noise goes away. i live in company housing here it's provided by the company i have to

share. thirty five foot r.v. trailer with a three hundred fifty pound guy. yes . and no to. friends or. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the

middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. prosecution will need to become almost. where you push. this thread you'll find. by the number one place you do i mean yeah yeah i mean political pressure on the. internet security jenison knows what the pundits are bundled up business models he was my american corporations. he's sold them good mental disease has. seen. the solution. lies up in association. i noticed when he saw it is just somebody deleting. an investigative documentary.

ghost war on oxy. seems wrong. to me but he's yet to see how he's going to come out of. an engagement. trail. once i find themselves while the pine. just in the common ground. running around trying to find a job and work here or there and it's not a good life. my children have had some some problems so i spent a lot of money on my children and cumulated debt so. the

original plan was to come up here for six months. and get out of debt but as i came up i made money paid off some bills there were other things. i happy birthday celestial. six six stitches yes. well i'm glad you're feeling better celestial i mean. i love you too and talk to you in the morning. or any of you. i usually park the truck come back to the trailer here get a frozen meal. throw in microwave sit down to need it and.

if we're not too tired. my roommate nial have a bowl of ice cream and and watch part of a d.v.d. on the laughter. but most of time it and go to sleep i don't take a shower every night because we don't shower well there's a shower in the trailer but there's no running water. it's not a. done deal she. just has not so he tried to do well workers. it was an opportunity for people like jeff and constance to change their lives to open a small business. and before i moved to boston i was in the health care industry and then a hospital administrator for several years in kansas. my project was going to go

live and i wanted to be with my family first and i remember talking to some people was talking about wilson and about north dakota and the oil boom there's a lot of oil out here and there's a lot of jobs in the water of opportunity for business willesden seemed to have the best opportunities for us and my family and so we drove up to the local and we realized immediately there was a huge opportunity out here so many people out here there must have been at least thirty thousand people going through here and there were only five restaurants at the time and then we looked a little bit closer and said ok what skill sets do we have that would be a good system and we thought that maybe you don't shop for so many other businesses have done here and the old timers they all think that foreigners coming here to take their money and go back home they don't think we're like that and i think that's one of the big reasons for that since it's not just. a business for us we are part of the community if we were embraced by the community these supported us

they definitely didn't help the south. we are current of it and we're always contributed. to be a good day to day. a lot of kids are going to be really excited to have go it's. we came here they didn't have a donut shop they hadn't had one for over. eight years most of these kids never had a girlfriend for. they come into my shop all its high school board was wow go it's. because there are more families that are coming in to wait list and now i go pick up the land at school and i see i think it's you know one of the aging kids african hispanic you know it's a good sign that the community is growing. house the way that you know we need to.

create lives in bozeman montana a small town six hundred miles away. he is right out of options in his hometown and has decided to settle for willis and he knows he will not see his wife and two kids for several weeks. long hours behind the wheel with the hope that he will find work he arrives when i leave my family like this i usually feel you know pretty lousy at times there was one incident years ago where my daughter was just in tears as i was leaving and it's like it's hard it's it's not fun it's hard but it's what has to be done. they're getting better at it they're getting used to it i'm getting used to it but i still like a brother be home. craig is the

way he's usually gone anywhere from about four weeks to this last one was eight weeks really. didn't see him for about eight weeks and then home from home for about a week or so i think it's been hard for the kids because. they were told me that they feel like it's a broken home you know it's almost like we're divorced because we see so little of each other so it's just been really hard for them this is very similar to living on a ship or being on a boat you're gone for months and see you come back and you see the family for short periods of time and then take off on your ship again you're it's a great analogy it's exactly where it's why. we've all talked about this and i think we could do with a little less so that he could spend more time with us and be more of a family. so i think i would rather have that happy family over here so let's just we he transferred died for us that watching my kids grow up it's

difficult until and it's almost five years now there's no doubt about it but it's just it's what we have to do. and him had just lost his job in the oil business when he met us and constance the couple was charged by the courage you know power of this young man ready to do anything to save his family from misery. since then adam spends all his nights eating donuts. and doing three jobs right now working every day. trying to get some money i want to relocate. i got two girls two daughters i want something better form where we lived in southern california is not a very nice place to live so it's

a lot of crime. gangsters and so the north dakota a be a better place to raise a family. is a lot of resources here and you've got the salvation army and they feed you here at the methodist church over it lutheran church down there. but i get food from work too if they don't it's trying to send all my money home for my wife to pay the bills and rent it's enough to get by you know just be there it you know . one hundred a week no guy me understand i have a family he wanted to say one hundred twenty five but he's dropped it down to a hundred a week. the american dream is that you can always chase i really believe that even during the recession there were still opportunities for each is going to look for you got to

be overwhelming or move to change that to get going and go oh geez go do it. now a lot of people don't do that but the ones they do with usually come out in the wrong. because our country is never the stable across the whole it's very rare to have all fifty states doing well it's also rare to have all fifty states doing a poorly so we're always moving around that's part of our national character it's always find new opportunities wherever they may be. what i do here pretty much is remodeling homes and handyman work fixing other people's mistakes and other people's problems mostly for homeowners residential it keeps me real busy. i bill out usually about sixty hours a week i can easily put in a twelve hour day no promise you have to run you know my go to bank post office go see clients check on supplies orders stuff

a lot of running around to do i love to work how i am a workaholic there's no doubt about it the money's nice but i like to work just the way my family is. these are some of the old cattle pens in corrals here some of the fallen apart completely but this is where they bring in the cattle to brando and have the calves i have the fats work on them and stuff but now i can see it i don't use it anymore . it was kind of a tough life i mean you lose cattle they die and the winners and so on the hot summers and you know drought is just on i was going to happen gamble every year they never made a lot of money doing it most or ranchers and farmers but they really don't have to do that anymore because they've got the palms down there that they can make money off of. and the oil's put a lot a lot of money into her pocket so now they can do what they want you know take it

easy work whatever they want to do so it's not as risky life's not as risky as it used to be. that or. you don't meet many people that are from. when i'm talking to a bunch of people i don't know and they say we're you from i say here and they go what. most people have lived here then they were dismayed to see this many people coming lot of people made a lot of money so i mean they like that the older folks that lived here on a fixed income renting an apartment they went from three hundred

a month two thousand a month and. so they're gone. i remember the first time i drove out to the place and i was eighteen miles about and i counted fifty or oil rigs that i could see from the road and that's when it started getting crazy i thought you know the oil companies for the most part they're good until we start thinking that they can power right over here because they're big and powerful . one thing they do do and i asked them when they came out the first time they always send a woman along with the group to comes out and i asked him straight out i said is that because we will shoot a woman. we never walk the house now i go take the key out. call a time my pickup or lock the house with no alarm system in the house that changes

just about everything. going to get my me own. power yet more and more neighbors. it's not the country anymore like it used to be. a lot of these are people who moved in with the oil. there was no place to buy in town they bought a lot so what here probably three four acres watch and build our dear. china russia definitely on the dollar as a sink camp they are warning goal they're building up gold as a play to de dollar rise they are looking for the dollar to trade significantly lower. prosecution
