    Slab City Library Time Lapse Video

    So I set out one day to try and do a time lapse video of the Slab City library, but unfortunately I set the angle far too wide, so it wasn't quite what I was going for. Rather than delete it though, I figured I'd go ahead and share it here for anyone that's interested.

    Slab City Trading Circle and BBQ

    In this video I take a look at the trading circle that happens every Saturday in Slab City. Also, my friend Balu is grilling a pig to share with folks in the slabs, and I end this day showing off just one of the many epic sunsets we get out here.

    RV Burns to Ground in Slab City

    Every once in a while in Slab City you'll see a black column of smoke in the distance, which usually means someone's camper or camp is on fire. In this video we went to go check it out since occasionally people need help putting the fires out. Sent from my LG-H815 using the Squat the Planet...

    Video TV Journalist Quits His Job to Live on a Tiny House Boat & Cruise UK Canals Full-Time

    I thought this video was worth sharing because it goes into quite a bit of detail about what it's like to live on one of these boats and some of the logistics involved with the lifestyle. Definitely worth watching to see what it's like to live on a boat in a canal (and outside the usa).

    2016 Jamboree anarchy and face tats for all!

    haha, i was thinking, wondering, hoping, that someone out there that's going to the jambo (or someone in the slabs) knows how to tattoo semi-decently? I have a stupid-easy cover up i want done on my wrist (three thick black lines) and if i could find someone to do it, I figure i could buy a...

    2016 Jamboree Campfire story telling contest!

    So I've had the idea for a while to do a story telling contest around the campfire for a while, but recently @Geraldo gave me the great idea of giving away special prizes to those that weave the best (true) stories of the road. Specifically, the prizes would be custom scouts badges, much like...

    Saw an article about this a while back, so I saw this video which kinda shows it from a first person perspective (and in video instead of an article).
