My Day in Slab City With Coz | We All Find Our Place in the World

ABOUT THIS VIDEO

I visited Slab City California in late April 2021 and spent the day with Community Coz, a cool dude whom I've called the unofficial mayor of Slab City. A more gracious host you could not hope to meet. In between preparing a fantastic meal of jalapeño pepper ribs and sides, he was gracious enough to show me the sights around the Slabs. We stopped at the Handlebar, RabbitSide's homestead, and even swung by the Library, where I met Cornelius Vango, a well-known YouTube creator. We finished our day with. beautiful sunset over the Salton Sea, sharing a meal with some of the locals. It was fantastic!

REFLECTIONS ON SLAB CITY

Slab City is more of a lifestyle than a place. Some end up there seeking the solitude offered by this remote desert outpost. Others look to fit into a community where acceptance is a starting point. From there your way forward depends totally on you and your wish -- or not wish -- for community. I doubt if there is anyone who could not fit in. Of course many leave quickly, others stay awhile, while others stay for life. It is an off grid community noted for its oppressive summer heat, a bounty of flies, and individualism to an extreme. Some will strive to create as homelike an experience as they can, just like at RabbitSide. Others will live as simplistically as they can. There are no association dues, no zoning applies, nor does a building code. It is a hard scrabble life, but one which seems to ground many in the spirit of humanity and community.

ME & MY TRAVEL VAN, LITTLE RASCAL

I am a transgender gal living in Northern California, and I have developed a passion for travel, especially cheap travel. Living in a small van allows me to travel very economically. I save quite a bit of money not having to stay in hotels. In addition, my van gets great gas mileage so California's high gas prices are not too much of a concern. I do my travels in a 2016 Ram Promaster City Van, "Little Rascal," a vehicle I am gradually fitting out for comfortable travels and boondocking.

MY RV BACKGROUND: WHAT I OWNED

This is my third travel recreational vehicle. I previously owned a 1974 GMC motorhome, a 1988 Coachman class B camper van, and my current van, a 2017 Ram Promaster City. I named it Little Rascal because It is small, like me. I purchased it used, in mid 2017, with 20,000 miles on it to support my travels and adventures on YouTube. I did some initial remodeling in September 2017, then used it for short, overnight, travels. With my friend, in the late winter of 2017, we traveled over 7,600 miles back and forth across the US in the van. In the summer of 2019 I traveled to the Upper Midwest, Canada, and Mexico, gaining additional experience and learning more about van life and living as a nomad. I deemed the van not comfortable enough for boondocking, though, and used cheap hotels. As time went by I picked up many tips from RV guru Bob Wells and his YouTube channel, CheapRvliving, on how to live simply and comfortably in small spaces. I recommend his YouTube channel if you think the nomad life is appealing.
