    'spider tom' at slab city

    Maybe this is an unnecessary post and feel free to delete or move if so. It was really cool to finally get to visit the Slabs and the only person who gave me any problems was this older fairly-cleancut guy calling himself Spider Tom, who first approached me when I was sitting down to smoke a...

    Does anyone know some stuff about living in Slab City?

    I've watched a signifigant amount of videos about Slab City (made by people who live there), and read articles but very few have been helpful with the information I am looking for. From what I have seen, it looks like a pretty cool community where you can practice anarchist politics with minimal...

    2018 Jamboree Fire at the slabs questions

    For cooking, working on projects and whatever else, how realistic is it to have a campfire? I mean in terms of gathering firewood

    No podcast this week -- next episode will be at the jamboree in slab city!

    Hey folks, due to a variety of factors, there will not be a podcast this week as I will be preparing for this year's Jamboree in Slab City. There will be a podcast/livestream during the jamboree, probably on Sunday (the 11th of November), so look forward to that!

    2018 Jamboree Bus Tour of Slab City

    This didn't really fit into the workshops section, but last year we did an awesome tour of slabs in my bus and I got to talk about all the different spots, and we stopped at a few places to play around. I would love to do that again this year. Let me know if you're interested in this!

    Hello! What should I bring to Slab City? My primary concern is pooping, and I can't find any info on this. How do most people (who don't have permanent infrastructure or an RV) poop in slab city?

    Slab City Library 2018 update

    This past winter season at SCL has been INTENSE. Mostly in a great way. We've had ups, some downs and were thrown a few loops. Overall, I feel like we've grown quite a lot. This is the first summer since I've re-established the place that it's been able to continue running without me for an...
