  • Rabbit Side is the residence of 3 people with whom I had a very pleasant visit. they are quite knowledgeable about the desert living environment and have turned their place into a variable art gallery. Though it is their home, they were more than inviting and afforded me the privilege of a tour. in the future I intend to donate one of my paintings to their collection and perhaps they'll place it on display for all visitors to enjoy.

    Peter, Jessie and Ryan are pretty amazing. They are truly building an actual desert oasis/art haven, and it's wonderful. As the years go by, if they keep going, they may end up being the best point of interest in Slab City; they're well on their way! I also commend them for the effort they've put in to rescuing the chickens and ducks, and giving them a safe, happy home.

    I have seen this guy on multiple channels. Something about the way he talks and walks amongst a personal creation makes him a national treasure. Makes me want to visit Slab City real bad. As a local.

    I adore their set up!!! If they ever feel the need to leave the desert and venture into the woods, we have 17 acres of nothing but old trees, rocks, creeks and a pond…they would forever be welcome to come here and settle an acre or so! Actually I hope to carve out an educational nature trail and non-denominational chapel here, run on donation…with a small souvenir shop filled with local art and nature-inspired creations. We actually need people like the Rabbits to settle this land and make something of it. Gardening here is a little diff than the desert but we have water catchment and solar opportunities here. We are only limited by our imagination too just like they are. Wonderful video!!!❤

    i just love this. This shows that not everyone in slabs is a low life or a bum, but some in fact are more time productive and creative and survivalistic than a lot of ppl who live in modern normal society . There is a lot to be learned from these guys here. That could benefit us all. If we are willing to listen look and learn

    I've watched all the Rabbitside videos, and man, Ryan and Peter seem really depressed. Is it the heat? Neighbor problems? Too many drop-in visitors? In their initial video they welcomed everyone to stop by and visit them, now they don't seem into it. I hope they didn't have a problem with a tourist.

    • @RabbitSide

      A lot of it can be heat related. This was just at the tail end of summer and we did not expect this fella that day, he just appeared with a camera rolling and we went with it... probably without coffee yet! Like anyone, there are varying degrees of enthusiasm one will exhume from day to day.

      We primarily use solar, about 2000W. When it’s too cloudy for too long we have a backup generator. We hope to add wind soon to complete a new overhaul to our power scene to be able to generate power 24/7 and not require such a large (expensive) battery bank.
