[@IceTom87]

the guy from the shrine is Christopher McCandless , there is a film about him called "into the wild". go and see it, its good

[@CuracaoLife]

[@Namahatas]

Loved the movie!

[@Primejohn1]

if you don't have time watch the movie buy the book

[@Mike-xg3mi]

true!

[@glukerpk3010]

i saw it!!!

[@TheFreedomTheory]

Very cool they have a Christopher McCandless photo. We just saw the bus they used to film "Into The Wild" while exploring Alaska this summer.

[@CuracaoLife]

yeah!

[@weedbee6735]

omg this place is absolutely in GTA 5, Trevor's hometown. XD

[@_ross1273]

yeah lol

[@thedankestengine2543]

except in GTA 5 it's covered in aliens buttfucking

[@CuracaoLife]

Yeah!

[@thebeastcz4260]

yes Sandy shore is inspired by slab city

[@alphadriven7443]

ikr

[@owenraine2374]

Another GTA 5 landmark lol

[@Tommy-cf8ih]

what's that one town that has the serial killer? Or is that real on GTA 5?

[@owenraine2374]

Tommy Sawyer The serial killer was in Sandy shores (his last video in bombay beach was there) and this one is the large colourful sculpture next to sandy shores with all the paint and stands. (and aliens)

[@Nicolas-bv9gw]

Another real landmark in grab u mean

[@Sarge1208]

yes

[@thedjenis]

Another *American* landmark lol*

[@nobledust2202]

Slab city is beautiful. I just love sort of solitary/abandoned desert places where there isn't a lot of noise and you can just sit down and think to yourself.

[@schnatten8660]

It isn't abandoned

[@BoyoOfficial]

+Arianna Gussman Hence the solitary part of the sentence.

[@mothintofllame]

I'd like to go there but I'm also afraid I'd have an existential crisis

[@samanthashurter6039]

fucking same

[@methylfenizaad]

i wonder wich pokemons are there

[@gerito2348]

+snapprins de 2e PHAHAHAHHA

[@Danielitoox_]

+snapprins de 2e lmfao!

[@erinb]

All I could think about was what Pokémon Go would be like there lol I have no life.

[@just_dig]

same

[@CuracaoLife]

indeed LOL

[@thefatbastarddowntheroad5623]

Some jesus freak pokemon

[@TheFifthBanana01]

Rare Pokemons

[@laureng2353]

+ANONYMOUS He had it in another video.

[@codycardinal7052]

Chris McCandless is the guy from Into the Wild.. I watched that movie and read the short story in high school lol

[@codycardinal7052]

well I said this before I got to the part in this video oops

[@timbatchelor4660]

Yeah that's him. I read the book also at school.

[@HeyItsWonka]

i did the same thing xD, i commented before seeing him saying something about it xD

[@miria4157]

She mentioned Jessica!! Seriously though, her song, i think its called fly, is really nice and uplifting

[@timebandito4278]

Dude, that TV sculpture @ 10:13 is incredible!! I love how they put a different message on each screen, laying out everything that's wrong with the media -- Bow before your gods, bad news, badvertsing, truth?, you need more stuff, standard of beauty, better living through sedentary credence, etc......SO very cool!!! Thought provoking too

[@thisperson3787]

Hey, do you want to know about that guy in the photo you found? His name was Chris McCandless. He was a man who lived about 5 years on his own just going with the flow of life. He went all around America finding odd jobs to support himself to eat. He never owned a car or many items. He was truly a free man who was done with society as well as the government. He wanted to live by his own rules. He ended up going to Alaska and staying in one of these busses they had for failed construction work back in the 50's or 60's. He ate something that he wasn't supposed to eat and he sadly died. There's a who great book about him called Into the Wild and a movie. One of the best books I've read. Really changed some of my thinking of life actually.

[@kimmykat2139]

Lots of people probably think this is a trashy place, but I'd loveeeeee to be taken here on a date. Especially towards the end with the couches and music and lights.

[@theForrestGalantey]

:-)

[@yourcaseworker6916]

Someone ate way too many mushrooms...Then broke out their crayon collection.

[@CuracaoLife]

LOL

[@dianne11ca]

5:05 I was just thinking of Christopher John McCandless, and his stay in slab city, which is where I first heard about the place. Do a search if you do not know who he is. Fans of Josh's explorations will appreciate who CJM was, what he did, and why he did it. Thanks, Josh. Great video, as always.

[@Fcreceptor]

Looks like someplace the Manson family would have loved.

[@deniset2115]

Josh, this place is really cool. I've spent years in the southwest and seen plenty but this place got by me. Thanks bunches for taking us to see this "domed house of trees" The whole philosophy of this place relaxes my soul.

[@LJ-on6be]

"all you need is love, love, love is all you need"

[@CuracaoLife]

agreed!

[@theamosfamily.]

Watching this video over 3 years after you have filmed it. This is absolutely crazy and I didnt know it existed. thank you for showing me things I didnt know about . Love all your videos!

[@breakfastsquirrel]

a lil late on the comments but gotta say, love the video, would love to visit that place.

[@GreekSpirit1821]

This place reminds me of a settlement you'd see in fallout 3/4/new vegas or even in mad max. Even the name, 'Slab City' sounds like something you'd hear from those types of games/films lol

[@Brian_Moser1118]

I would not like living there. I know it sounds freeing to have your own everything but the place sounds like its on another planet. It feels very isolated and depressing.

[@AnnaLena927]

Your passion for this place really speaks out in the video. Beautiful to see. :)

[@CuracaoLife]

Agree!

[@peytonmcd12]

Jessica ( a kpop idol and former member of SNSD) filmed her music video for her song Fly here ;;u;;

[@mastermuffin123]

can you be my princess

[@CuracaoLife]

cool!

[@peytonmcd12]

+master muffin123 (Frispygamer) been using this account for so long wish I could only change my username lol

[@mastermuffin123]

PrincessPJ1990 iknow how to change it but you gotta be my friend first xD

[@gulogulo7676]

I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought of that and the woman he interviewed mentioned it and I started fanboying.

[@KellDLMCMLXXIX]

I love the music at the beginning....😌😌😌

[@3rdnote]

thanks

[@ikeelu85]

I met a few ppl passing thru az, and they said they have either visited slab city, or have lived there, and it is NOTHING NICE to the place. ive been told the ppl put on a nice peaceful front, but really, they are ruthless, sleazy ppl who stay there. Id say id believe it tbh. Think about it, there is no law.... hmmm

[@a.e.cochran97]

Very comfortable out there in the winter, will definitely visit it for the first time.

[@BaconPizza]

I totally agree with what you said about the government!! And I do believe in many conspiracies.

[@heidip5042]

thats an amazing place!! Ive always wanted to live without electronics, just out in the open enjoying nature and the world without all the distractions. I also LOVED the movie "Into the wild" so much!!

[@rasmustornqvist21]

They made a movie about Christopher Johnson Mccandless (the guy in the "shrine"). It's called, Into the wild.

[@Mars127]

it's places like this that restore my faith in this country

[@EyeCrumb]

Bruh I swear this place is on GTA V but it's alien stuff instead

[@CuracaoLife]

Indeed!

[@markitzero12]

I was about to say something about that two but you beat me to the punch lol

[@smithtony4914]

Dead ass

[@presidentfrog4683]

Almost every notable place in GTA 5 is based off a real world location.

[@martinvelazquez1642]

This great!! The same day friend and I went to the Bombay beach we skipped over to salvation mountain and slab city! Very cool you made a video about it!!

[@IcedcoffeeIV]

I think Josh is creative and I love his videos but I'm not sure that he's the smartest.....

[@CuracaoLife]

how come?

[@fleurhabets4266]

Explain please🙊?

[@leonieadam7542]

I hope this place exists long enough that I can visit it when I'm older. That is so amazing.

[@dwat130]

111 degrees outside but you're wearing a black shirt and a scarf? lol

[@jeffd3865]

ya he's a moron

[@ericmetzger7004]

+OXY ! More like an oxymoron... Haha no one? Okay then

[@GRANDSUPREMENEWS]

Long Sleeve Shirt 111 degrees damn he got minions balls.

[@erikgustavsson9302]

He looks cool asf doe

[@dwat130]

so you're saying a black shirt protects against sun burn? I'm from AZ and sunscreen works fine for me

[@fleurhabets4266]

Can't believe this roadtrip is already been over a month. I love every minute of it! ♡

[@hotsaucegaming8204]

this is the hippie camp from gta 5

[@ericmetzger7004]

No stab city is based off this and it's the biker town

[@ovist7481]

+Eric Metzger biker town what part

[@methylfenizaad]

+Eric Metzger no, its the beam me up alien thing. thats based off off this

[@I_prxg1]

+snapprins de 2e the biker part is known as Stab City

[@ericmetzger7004]

+snapprins de 2e well that too

[@limjahey9244]

Josh! this is best slab city video in my opinion. Very in depth.

[@shazzer8922]

I'm early let me think of a joke Iceland beating England in the euros

[@chowder8802]

lol go England!

[@shebuiltlikethepillsburydo2779]

and us British leving the eu 😂

[@cameroncatalani8889]

Well its a quite realistic joke

[@JLM3006]

your from Devon aren't you brickmaster?

[@shazzer8922]

+Josh Masters y

[@melissamorgan877]

I sooo love this place!!!! Its amazing. Wish I could go there sometime in my lifetime! Thank you for taking us there.... Exploring with Josh 💓

[@melissamorgan877]

The only thing that confusese is how the videos end. Not all but like this. Were watching talent show and then bam the end. But still love this. I so love abandon places. Think you should pick fans to be able to come explore a place with you

[@Lizzeh41]

OMG SHE MENTIONED JESSICA!!!

[@ekadventures4210]

It's so nice to see the Slab City. It reminds me of Jessica's "Fly" MV. She recently had a MV there. 😍❤

[@nervousspecimen5703]

This is the same location Jessica's Fly music video was shot at omg what

[@lisaess]

this is a great break from abandoned places - I've been binging on those for 2 weeks lol

[@noahwhittemore4445]

If Donald Trump becomes president that's were I'm moving

[@theminervacraftingtable8223]

Good idea

[@jeffd3865]

u think bitch Hillary would be any better

[@natashabegley1346]

Stop moaning lol is that all americans do is moan moan ? be happy go do something instead of crying about who will be next president whoever is in charge next americans will still moan :)

[@deezy3775]

+natasha begley it's not just which candidate is gonna be elected in the end this year will be the fall of America and the begging of the new world order

[@jacobvillavicencio7592]

same

[@glorydancer4804]

What a colorful, weird, creative, mind blowing place. Josh I love your childlike enthusiasm about everything. I was a teen ager in the late 60's and early 70s. Reminds me of the Hippie days in Atlanta. So glad I got to experience that time, and the music was incredible. Lots of creativity then also! Thanks for the videos!😆

[@CuracaoLife]

i love this place

[@christophermulcahy5717]

111 degrees and you are wearing a scarf

[@aprilsmith5999]

That has got to be one of the most amazing and interesting place you have taken us. Thanks for sharing.

[@arnie019]

Watch the movie "Into the Wild" and you can learn about the picture of the guy you saw.

[@CuracaoLife]

i will chek it

[@Three_Random_Words]

So Josh references Into the Wild late in the video yet he couldn't figure out the photo of McCandless. Maybe someone explained it to him while filming.

[@ColynKirkland]

Out of all of the places you've been to, Josh, I gotta say this is the coolest.

[@fogleca]

Makes me want to play gta 5

[@RONALDSPENCER]

i think it friggin awesome that he stop and tells us the history thank you josh..

[@Kyle_919]

Would not trust that place or the people there. Seems like a cult

[@shadowflower22]

this is one of my favourite videos of yours so far Josh. So amazing to follow your epic journey.. I am so inspired to come to the USA next year and follow the desert trail.. peace and love from Sydney Australia = )

[@antl6199]

they dont want goverment but have no problem sucking off of a check the gov gives

[@KyoujinAnei]

16:05 You can legally buy an inert M72 LAW like that one on the wall. They're only good for one shot, so you can buy the empty M72 once it's been fired. I actually had a friend who had one. I've heard that they can go for cheap if you get lucky and find one, too.. though I've also seen them go for over 100-200 dollars, lol.

[@Lethargical]

"God is" not real.

[@dude2die4]

cool opinion bro

[@GRANDSUPREMENEWS]

God is real

[@Lethargical]

+dude2die4 Hardly an opinion.

[@dude2die4]

Oreki Houtarou debatable

[@Monai3ficent]

+Oreki Houtarou lol, you people are pathetic. I have a hard time believing in him also but come on, stop hating on other people's beliefs.

[@melsmxth1271]

I love how u film ur videos !! The drone makes the shots look amazing 💗🔥

[@Sampler19]

Nice video! I thought about going there, too, when i was visiting Yoshua Tree National Park some weeks ago - but didn't have enough time left.

[@karleena8840]

Originally I came for your abandoned videos, but now I honestly just love to watch you travel around the world so I can add places to my bucket list that I will never see lol. I wonder when the travel channel is going to scoop these guys up

[@christinaarnold6290]

Been watching you guys for so long but this is my first time commenting. This place is amazing thank you for sharing this.x

[@kylieedabss9432]

that place is so creative I love it. I could take so many good photographs there.

[@d4nzo]

really good video josh, nice that uve added some info an an interview about this place, really interesting when you find a local willing to be on camera, truely amazing place, visually with the art aswell as there views and way of living

[@thereselcc]

thank you for showing us unique places like this one. :) looooved all the art!

[@courtneyray8857]

As a person who loves art this video just made me want to go create so much art but it's late at night so I'm just jotting down my ideas ,thank you josh

[@fleurhabets4266]

Great on you. As Josh said, art is dying. Ofcourse there are still a lot of artist and such but they are so under appreciated(?).

[@courtneyray8857]

Fleur Habets that's what made me want to get up and make something even tho it was late at night

[@zachmorrow7737]

Easily one of my favorite videos you've created Josh!

[@Hypergen-]

10:12 look at the sideways TV XD "HELP!!! I'VE FALLEN AND I CANT GET UP!!"

[@jacksleeman5061]

Quality video again Josh, keep it up bud. Also have you ever heard of Hoia Baciu Forest in Romania, that would be the ultimate place to go, it's apparently haunted...

[@vampirez921]

5:00 that's Chris McCandles. I read about him in my senior year of high school. He left everything to go live free from government and his parents. He traveled to Alaska, found an abandoned bus. He used the bus as a camp site. He died when he ate the wrong type of plant that was edible. The plant was poisonous. He died from that and starvation, and his body was found. Now the bus is a place where people who admired him, and was inspired by him, went to honor him. People leave letters in the bus for him. They probably placed his photo there to honor him of his idea of being free from the government.

[@madisonmcgloin2865]

That place is beautiful, it's so creative.

[@pancaske]

I love your videos so much! History was and still is my favorite subject in school and I love the history that is associated with all of the places you go!

[@kayleik1478]

Love love love your perspective on life.

[@dejiajohnson3707]

Hey Josh, Love your videos and editing. Keep them coming!!!😄

[@rubymaughan4323]

Into the wild is my favourite movie. Your footage gave me much appreciated insight in to the reality behind this area or city. The movie taught me so much and I learnt even more from your video! If you get a chance watch the movie although this is a free town it's interesting to see how Christopher mccandles defines freedom. It's really a beautiful place though

[@igavehimadollar3354]

Love your channel man keep up the great work . I’ve only in the last few weeks got interested in this area so interesting

[@DragonActual]

[@endlesstaiga3831]

I legit just got inspired to write a story on this on Wattpad. But like a bunch of fallout stuff and where people abandoned this place, government stuff, nukes, all stuff like that. Man, you can be inspired by ANYFING I wish I could explore with you guys, honestly I really wanna go to some of the places y'all have gone to!

[@lukekingsbury3649]

[@Pyridox]

Yes, It's called "Salvation Mountain". The Carpetbagger & Adam the Woo also did a video on this place a few months ago.

[@Syraphya]

Great video! I didn't knew about this before and therefore it was very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing this experience with us :) .

[@helladiaz4268]

Christopher McCandless was someone who traveled to get to Alaska. He wanted to get away from his family and society, he visited slab city and stayed there for a while. There's a book and a movie about him it's on Netflix it's called "Into the Wild." The book and movie are really great.

[@JanneFlinck]

Very cinematic shots, bravo! :D

[@xxxtarnation986]

Josh this video is just amazing ,awesome ,epic and more.. how all of ur videos thanks for that! U are my favorite KZbinr. :) THANKS :D

[@taraseifert5467]
