Just outside of Death Valley National Park is a lost desert town with people who've decided to live away from it all. Join me as we journey into this special place where the locals say they live in absolute freedom, without cops, crime, or any of the hassles (and few conveniences) of the modern world... a strong community isolated from the rest of American society.

    Thanks for joining in today guys! I just want to give credit where credit's due. It might look like it's just me making these videos but my wife Natalia is a huge component to making these weekly videos possible. She was up until 6:00am this morning finishing up on the edit so we could post at our usual Sunday time of 11:00am EST. She puts her heart and soul into these video teasers and final touches to make sure you get the best video we can offer. If you're liking these videos please give Natalia a big shout-out!
  • @ganymede...
    Your "off the grid" videos are really my preferred ones. I like your way of meeting people, talking to them without judging. Much more interesting than any mainstream documentary, great job
  • My dream life!!!! My friends think I am crazy to want to live isolated in the desert. The desert sounds are healing.
  • @viejo2a
    Outstanding. Being a Californian, motorcyclist and something of a desert rat, I’ve visited the town several times over the years. I’ve entered up over “the falls” route as well as from the highway. Its a fascinating place to be sure. You managed to find some of the most interesting folks to talk with, as you always do. Well done.
  • "We have had only one fight in thirty years!" Peter "but you've been divorced twice" 😂😂😂 that was a savage comment
  • @Life_42
    Please do more of these remote US towns, I love them!
  • I hope this place never goes away, it's a very rare thing to find a place that is as free as this town. I've lived in Maine for over 20 years and have never seen a town that is not embroiled in politics one way or another. To know that a free town still exists in our United States is a relief to this tired soul.
  • These remote, desert towns are my favourite videos to watch. The openness, the friendly people, and freedom.
  • @matthewx2590
    It’s so mind boggling that, in all of these series you do, the people are so different, yet it’s all in the same country. 🇺🇸
  • @mikeward7290
    Very interesting. I happen to live at the mine that was spoken of 4 days a week. What was not mentioned is the lack of light pollution out here. It's a star gazers paradise.

    When people around me tries to describe Americans based their narrow minded view when reading about world politics I often bring up these kind of warm, wholesome and free-minded people that I usually bump into when traveling around in these wonderful parts of the states such as Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah. I meet them outside gas stations, at motels, in roadhouse restaurants etc. etc. The American people is sure as hell not the government. This is along with the nature and scenery one of the reasons why I love the US and take the early road-trips around in the area, not for the shopping malls, the amusement parks or any of the plastic surreal parts of the country which usually is what people from Europe refer to when describing their trips to the US! When people say that they love the Italians or the French mentality they’ve never been around to meet the authentic Americans /Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
  • @mustafashaheen8229
    This lovely village looks exactly like Siwa oasis here in Egypt 🇪🇬. Most of its residents has run away from the crowded cities and the disorders and the huge range of inconvenience. Thank you very much for this impressive video. Salute from Egypt 🇪🇬 with love and respect 😊
  • @thisandthat5774
    I love how calm, well spoken and none judgemental Peter is in his videos. A humble dude making fascinating videos doesn't go unnoticed. His questions are focused, insightful but always respectful. Awesome.
  • @chrisdunntv
    You know it's a good day when Peter drops a video!
  • @psrwhite
    Thank you Natalia and Peter for always showing respect to the people and the environment in your videos. Also thank you for taking us down the road less traveled, showing us places we never knew existed!!
  • My grandfather ran the Morningstar mine in the Mojave preserve when I was a kid and took me through this Ghost town of people once. I was amazed how people could live in such ungodly forgiving wasteland.But then again alot the miners lived in sheet metal shacks so these people are definitely living better then original settlers
  • the way he said being born to perfect loving parents was the Pompeii of his life was touching. anyone who has had a shitty childhood and/or life due to their parents know what it is to be robbed the most precious importance of life
  • Thx Peter and Natalia for all the hard work. From a great grandmother in Phoenix Arizona, I love going on all your adventures with you.
  • @chuzzthefuzz1908
    What I really love about watching your documentaries is that I get to listen to interesting people with interesting lives and be presented with ideas that make me think outside the box. I love it!
  • @BuckJones1909
    I think this is one of my favorite videos! Max and the twice married twice divorced couple are terrific people! “I’m a Maserati stuck in neutral”
