Condolences to my friend. He recently passed not long after this video.🙏🙏🙏
😢
What happened to his loved ones? :(
May he rest in peace.
That is so sad. He seemed sweet 😢😢😢😢😢
What happened to the dogs? This is an animal hoarding situation. The dogs need help. If they are still on the property, animal welfare can do a welfare check on them.
A word to the young. Save save save and then save even more. Stay away from drugs and alcohol and live below your means. This is what the American dream is. It gives you the freedom from government to make good life choices so when you’re my age 83, you can still live below your means and be happy. Don’t be deceived by your youth. Its fleeting.
Great comment!
Yes! ❤👍
The American Dream is a scam and most Americans have dropped off. We have ignored the criteria’s that are set up by the Government for the lower middle class to fail. The best thing you can do is enjoy your youth, of course still budget and take care of your money so you can retire, but I think we all need to re-examine the American Dream that we have been taught.
You are so right
@@Blockbustersaol
Total deprivation is not what the person is saying.
You don't need drugs and alcohol especially if a young person hasn't started when you want to have some good times. It'll also be good on saving $ and less grief.
Like, alcohol dependence, drug dependence etc. etc....
Everyone is up in arms about the dogs...what about this poor old man, a veteran of the United States of America living in third world conditions. Lord have mercy.
.... the animals have no choice, no voice, no rights and no protections. This man has choices and human rights and protections, even if not as many as some other humans. I hate people who make comments like this. Animals get the shit end of every stick and you're here upset that anyone is actually concerned for them. Vile.
Exactly! People are more empathetic towards animals than they are towards their fellow human beings! This man was a veteran and I believe he deserves better.
Exactly, its so sad when I see veterans living under bridges and suffering the horrors of war that still linger in their minds. They are human beings that fought on foreign soil to keep us free in America. It is a national shame.
The dogs are more valuable. Old man isn't doing anything to improve himself, and being a veteran doesn't make him better (unpopular opinion)
@@justiceforall007 He chooses to not take advantage of Veterans Rapid Rehousing,Homeless Veterans and multiple Voucher Programs he is qualified for based on age and income alone.He can't keep breeding mutts and collecting junk if he opted for better living conditions in subsidized housing,so instead is living exactly how and where he chooses to.
Our government spends billions in aid to support other countries when our citizens are forced to live like this. This is tragic at all levels. It's time to take care of American citizens first.
Your so right 👊🏾 and Biden just gave 100 million to the war in Israel absolutely unbelievable trump rather you like him or not was America first president
Sad and true!
Charity begins at home.
My initial thoughts as well. What good will it do us to finance wars?
We also have friends overseas we need to support. Ceasing foreign aid will hurt our country.
This man needs medical attention, and should be in some sort of place to help feed him and treat his Illness.This country has gone to crap and sends Billions to other countries instead of helping United States citizens🤦♂️
This guy 's situation is regrettable, but he was still responsible for making sure he could retire with enough money, just as we all are.
The world is watching in disbelief at the agenda of the Biden Regime.
@ozzierabbit587 Get off your high horse, one illness can bankrupt you and any savings. Hard to recover late in life and sick.
Hope it doesn’t happen to you.
@@madjack8893agreed!
When you’re so privileged and you dint even know it. Gross
Everybody is worried about the dogs instead of a human that is an American citizen! Sad at best!

Some are like that over putting animals over children also! ❤️
Those dogs deserve better. A clean space to run and play out of the heat. This man deserves better. He needs to clear out one of the campers and live in it, at least.
No, he doesn't. He's a sick creep that hoards dogs.

I wrongly thought homelessness was only in America until I traveled and saw homelessness in other Countries.Its a worldwide problem.😢
Cheezus, where did you get the impression there was no homelessness elsewhere?
Yes it's way worse in many other places
@@Spoiled_horsegirlAmong so called rich countries, USA is undoubtedly worst.
@@Spoiled_horsegirl considering the U.S. is one of the richest countries and the most powerful country on earth, you can't compare that to other poorer countries. This indicates the U.S. is among the worst country in dealing with homelessness given the power, money, and resources it has.
With similar amount of power and resources, Japan literally puts the U.S. to shame on this issue. There are homeless people in Japan, but they are manageable and in a much smaller scale than the ones existing in the U.S.
In fact, what I have seen in Philly, Skid Row and many other U.S. cities are far worst than many poor cities in East and Southeast Asian cities; you don't see zombies in those Asian cities.
@@chrinsamvisalrichest country on earth with trillions in debt 🤔
I can’t believe people are more worried about the dogs than this man. They’re in the trailer for the interview. People need to listen. He doesn’t have trash service. He said he gives the dogs to whoever wants one. What about the dogs in cages at shelters or the pound? I’d say they’re better here with a caring owner. Get one of his dogs or go help clean his place up. Smh.
With all due respect, the dogs are kept in the trailers all the time, he said, or else the neighbor that doesn't like him tries to run them over, not just for the interview. I also think he keeps them in there to keep them from being bitten by snakes, like he was several times. He is free to live anyway he wants...and is free to come and go as he wants...meanwhile the dogs are stuck in a hot RV with no fans or A/C in the hot Arizona heat all the time. Dogs in shelters are not treated like this...they are in a climate controlled building and taken care of by vets and out for walks and petted by shelter volunteers, and possibly adopted out to loving homes that can afford dogs. No matter how well meaning this nice gentleman is, most of those dogs should be taken from him with him allowed to keep a certain number only...if told this is the way it is, he'll be just fine with it. I wonder if a-n-y of those dogs have e-v-e-r seen a vet. He is barely taking care of those dogs as it is. That's why we're concerned,
Everyone always cares about their damn dogs over human beings
Those animals need to be rescued from him
I agree. The man has a right to live the way he wants to. I love how he calls them his loved ones.
Thanks for what you do Big Super, you're an honorable man showing everyones stories and letting them know that people still care.

We recently traveled through the Mojave desert on the way to Phoenix, and there were RVS and tents all over the desert in the middle of nowhere. It was surreal.
@@lewisbale1 as someone from the southern east coast it’s a different world so sad but probably coming for the rest of us
I Say, Homeless Nation, 😢
That was probably as you passed through Quartzsite... the RV mecca each year.
@@Jennifer-007 no it was the Mojave highway - Edwards AFB to Victorville.
@@tutttutt9558as Jennifer mentioned you should see Quartzsite during the winter months. It’s crazy how many folks live out in the desert there all winter.
He could easily build a fence so the dogs could come out and have some freedom but instead he forces them to endure 24/7 lockdown in miserable conditions. Dogs shouldn't be forced to sleep in their piss and shit.
Was afraid that they would kill the snake, this man has a great heart. Not the world’s best judgement but a good man.
I'm 50 yo and have terminal cancer. I'd still rather live my life than the way this man is living. Of course, we all can decide what quality of life we could live with. I don't have much hope, HOWEVER, I have a roof over my head and a nice place and live in a nice town. I also have a car and still able to drive. My heart goes out to these people. I wish I could make their pain go away.
He needs a mental evaluation at an accredited Psych Hospital.
Exactly. A lot of people in the comments are blaming the government and think money is the answer to this guy's problems. However, even if he had somewhere nicer to live and money, he'd still be hoarding trash and animals and living in filth. His problems aren't financial so much as they are psychological.
So u guys know it all..okay..
Sending prayers your way,God bless!
Why would he have to go see a psychiatrist?
I'm so sorry for this elderly man who has to live like this and his dogs I pray for him and the dogs. No one America should have to live like this!
It's a shame, he believes what he is saying about his shaking and his sister-in-law. It's sad that he has to live this way it truly is, and it's sad for the dogs because although he does love them and you can tell he feeds them and stuff it's still really hot. I could never leave my dogs outside in the yard in this Arizona Heat, but I think he means well
Bless this poor man’s heart… he has no idea this is abuse. Looks like he has Parkinson’s. That’s why he’s shaking. I hope and pray someone sees this and rescues these dogs, spays and neuters them and let him only keep two that are spayed and neutered. I have a feeling he’s keeping them in those rv’s to keep them from getting bit by the rattlesnakes. Not realizing that’s animal abuse. Lord have mercy….
Big Super you have a way of getting people to bare their souls. Bless you for telling people’s stories. This world is full of hurt, sadness and people need to know what’s happening and stop turning a blind eye. This is reality of many sadly.
Yeah because they would be better off dead? How do you know they aren’t spayed and neutered? It’s not abuse when he’s doing without to house these older dogs that were obviously abandoned. Not ideal but it’s better than being put down as they would if he didn’t take them
That's why I'm hoping Super has lead him to the help that he needs.
@@CarterKey6 I agree with you. Definitely. Yes it’s not ideal, he’s doing the very best he can. I just worry if anything happens to him, what will become of them all.
@@peterpatton2867 Yes, Big Super can lead those who can help that see this his way indeed. This gentleman and those dogs could use assistance.
@@suzyrock1368 we both know what happens to them in the video you can see they are older dogs. I am a rescuer and currently in my area as well as three states away in both directions the shelters are overwhelmed. Really sad I was thinking the same about their future

You are right about those facts. Yes, voters are ignorant keeping politicians in office for thirty years expected changes.
We are sending our tax dollars to the wrong locations! If we can't help our own homeless elderly! Shocking local authorities are aware of his living situation and have not made a referral. The lord is keeping him!
Poverty in old age is terrible, but remember that people have a responsibility to ensure they have sufficient funds to retire on.
Gerald got bit by a Rattlesnake...they don't make em like that anymore lol
Poor fur babies.. they need to get out.. geeeezzz.. smh.. he's a good guy.🙏
He doesn't realize he's hurting the dogs, but he is.
The dogs are fine. Jeezus christ people. I am concerned of how quick people think they are rescuing dogs when they will only make the situation worse. Hey if you think your such a hero he said is just giving the dogs away.
He I-S hurting the dogs but he doesn't realize it. No, despite what some others are saying...the dogs are n-o-t "fine". He can come and go, turn the A/C on in his truck or a fan. I didn't even see any fans in those cramped RV's he keeps the dogs in all the time, and I bet none of those dogs have seen a vet e-v-e-r in their life. He needs to be persuaded to give the dogs to a shelter or rescue so they can be looked over by a vet, treated, and are able to be adopted out to good homes. He can keep a few, after they are seen by a vet to keep him company, but I think he keeps them because he doesn't know what to do and is treading water (barely keeping them alive), unfortunately. He can chose to live any way he wants to...but you should treat your pets as you would like to be treated...and he's not doing that.
@@chasingsunsets87empathy is being able to put yourself in another's shoes. How would you like to live in a 100 degree vehicle covered in urine and crap and never even be let out to use the bathroom? Can you not recognize the signs of animals in distress or employ basic common sense? Jesus.
No he said he loves them ❤
I agree, animal cruelty at its worst. I do believe he has good intentions but like the woman from that hoarders episode with a house full of dead cats they are misguided and in need of much help.@@MG-pj2oo
That poor man has Parkinson's or something. I very much doubt his shaking is from giving plasma. His living conditions just break my heart. I don't know how those dogs can stay cool enough in those campers without electricity. We have failed our people here, yet give billions to other countries to fight in wars we have no business being in. Not to mention we now have over seven million illegal immigrants to house, feed and clothe who are taking any resources we had left, kicking Veterans out of nursing homes to make room for them.
You showed him respect. Bless you!
I got tears in my eyes 💔
God bless this old man❤❤❤
I hope he has a backup plan for the pets in case something happens to him.
I doubt he does. People need to keep reporting the situation. He is not capable of giving them all proper care.
I know you’re getting those dogs and that man help, right?! Beyond horrific 😮😢
I think hes a total sweetheart and loves his dogs, but this isnt suitable for him or the dogs. He can not take care of himself and senior services and animal welfare need involved urgently. :( And before anyone has beef with me stating this as cruel or nosey, we as tax payers employ professionals to evaluate these situations and determine what is healthy and safe and that is who needs involved.
Exactly. There's community resources that can take care of situations like this, both for this gentleman and for his dogs. If he wants to still live like this, upon being offered services, than that's fine and that's on him. But the dogs are barely being taken care of...and are kept in unsanitary conditions...he can keep a few to keep him company after they are seen by a vet, but the others should be given a chance to live a decent lie by a shelter or dog rescue.
This is absolutely rediculous.
Far too many dogs couped up in campers.
What's with all the junk piled up everywhere???
His heart has decieved him.
These type of people do not understand, they lack rational decision making, And you can clearly see and hear him.
I must admit, He has a big heart, but the heart is a big deciever.
And he is lacking care for himself as well.
Not a good situation.
He needs intervention.
Hoarding is a dx mental illness
Most likely the campers have air conditioning
@Ava.spoiled if it had ac he wouldn't have had to move the crate blocking the dogs in said " I need to give them some air"
Dogs look very healthy, he has to have them to protect him and them. I don't believe it's animal abuse at all. I only saw 6 dogs but still he does take care of them. Don't be to hard on him he's trying.
Only 6 were seen...14 other dogs unseen.
Mr. Big Super Living in Arizona,
Thanks for allowing this gentleman to tell his story.
For anyone who lives out here, it boggles the mind how anyone who does not have air conditioning, proper shelter can tolerate the summers( Late June until mid September), and exposure to elements can survive. I guess the human body can adapt?
I will say a prayer for this gentleman.
This reminds me a little of Mary for some reason. These are great videos! You do a great job! God bless you and the people you interview!
Blessed be to this gentleman. God loves you sir.
It’s amazing people care more about the dogs living conditions then the humanity of the man and how he is living.
Honestly not surprising at all
Me either! ❤️
Pitiful
The thing I love the most on your channel is most of the people no matter how bad their situation is they are still positive today is a good day and do not Dewell on yesterday.
There are people who are by choice homeless but it is not easy being homeless, every day is a mental challenge and physically hard on the body no matter the climate. The dogs are what's keeping this alive and busy everyday if he looses his dogs he will wither away.
You got a tour of Arizona hoarders going on now! I feel for this guy, he has a good heart and deserves to live better than this. I wonder if he would be open to rescue groups taking a few to rehome? A lot of the time, hoarders are very resistant to anyone helping them clean up. There is no garbage pick up where I live, so I take a small bag of garbage with me when I go to to town, I dont let it pile up. That brings rats which attracts the snakes, and other vermin. There are a lot of flies around his "loved ones". They can get bites on their ears from them.. that he is living out of his truck.. I would worry he will get heat stroke..
Yeah, is is actually making his property appealing to snakes with all the trash. As concerned with snakes as he is, he is creating his own problem.
You answered your own question. He wouldn’t be open to anything because mentally he is extremely rigid. His hoarding habits and his extreme protectiveness of the dogs.
This man is very old and his habits are well set. Move him into a nice house, and no matter how big the house was, within a year it would be filled with junk and dogs.

I'm homeless in Arizona. This has come to frustration within the last year and I just turned 45 Oct 6. From what I have seen for the most part is the situation is the result of one of two things #1 drug and alcohol addiction #2 mental illness and a very small percentage is made up of people who choose not to participate in society in what would be considered a "normal" way as in working and paying taxes just to exist
thank you for for honest comment.100 % true
I wish I could drop out.
100% true. 95% of homeless in America choose that life.
Being homeless causes mental illness and addiction as a way of coping.
There's truth to your statement about living modestly. I'm not even an extravagant person and sometimes boggles the mind to listen to other people I know talking about how they are struggling because they believe their wants are needs. In many ways many Americans take things for granted and have become practically addicted to convenience and instant gratification, and unless we are part of the top tier of earners have worried about the state of things at one point or another.
This channel is great. There are plenty of channels showing urban living. I find no other channel with a person-of-color conducting such an empathetic interview with a white-person living in squalor. Decision making skills need support. There are consequences. Mental health used to be a priority in the USA.
Those RVs get really hot and summertime and those dogs are basically being hotbox. Yes, those dogs are probably living in their own 💩 it’s unfortunate.
I was going to donate plasma for the first time in my life just recently. I went to the appointment but it didn’t work out because they told me I had to have food in my stomach 2 hours prior.

Sorry but you should call the humane society and the police and have them come get those dogs. That's just wrong
Those organizations you just mentioned just aren't interested.
Otherwise, how else is he able to be overlooked all of this time!
They are overcrowded and would just euthanize those dogs anyways.
The organizations will come out and remove the dogs but it looks as if he’s pretty rural probably an unincorporated area. His neighbors or someone would need to report him to the county.
I like this guy. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Life in the USA can be painful 🏜
Clearly a hoarding situation, stuff and animals. These animals are in an unconditioned trailer in a desert. It must be as hot as hades in there. He seems like a nice guy but how the dogs are living isn't right.
He needs help himself.
It's easy to be in comfort looking outward.
@@peterpatton2867 Of course he needs help. I thought that was implied when I mentioned it is a hoarding situation. I guess I should have been more clear. Also, of course it's easy to be in comfort looking outward, thank goodness. That fact doesn't change my original comment.
@@Mary-cg1sl
Obviously.🙄
My objective was clear.
But not so obvious to you being all self righteous sitting in your glory seat of comforts rendering obvious points and clear concern and focus on dogs and not your fellow man. But continue.
Oh my goodness! Praying for him ".
Tots and pears 🍐
America's one and only true concern is further development of the digital age commerce slavery system.
This is why America is dwindling more & more into a 3rd world situation.
So many people just can't make the cut because financial equality is out of reach by design.
You're given one dollar to spend and they're price is three dollars to buy😮
But We the People's keep taking it😢
I had a feeling he was gonna be hording animals lol .. too many pets to take proper care of .. god bless em
Thanks you for doing these interviews it's frustrating to see what's happening our system is broken repairing it will require a major overhaul
It amazes me how people still don't understand the damage America does to every country on earth
NOT America. The out of control establishment using our tax money.
Wouldn’t say he’s homeless sheet he has what 4 homes he’s just a little different lol, but those poor dogs trapped in the dilapidated motor homes is sad
Excellent video. You found the perfect guy to show what this lifestyle is really like. Many thanks.
Is it true that he passed away??
I feel really sorry for this man. It’s heartbreaking. I like how some people seem more concerned about animals than they are about this man. Yeah he shouldn’t have so many dogs. Obviously, he’s very lonely, not in good health and in distress. I love animals. I have dogs. I used have a guinea pig. Birds, I’ve got fish. I take care of stray cats. When a beautiful cat that somebody dropped off out here, has kittens, they end up coming up to the door at few weeks old , we take them in, domesticate them and find homes for them. I’ve done that four times. PAWs won’t help me, they don’t even have the decency to get back to me and tell me that they can’t help get this poor cat fixed so she won’t have kittens every six months. This man needs help probably mental help also. But when it comes to people, I’m more concerned about people. This man sounds like the guy that lived at the slabs and created Salvation Mountain. Humans are more important than an animal. Even my animals. This man doesn’t belong living out there. He seems to blame everybody but himself, I’ve noticed. This is one of the saddest videos I’ve seen you make.
Every dog I ever owned was more important than other people to me. He seems old and doing kinda OK. Leave him alone.
Feel sorry for the dogs, they have no choice, he does.
@@Jennifer-007 Dogs have a choice. They can leave.
The shift from caring about humans to animals instead baffles me. Before the dog nuts go off on me, I had ten old, sick, big dogs dumped at my place in addition to my own dog and I cared for and loved them until they passed away. I just don't understand today's mentality of putting your dogs' rights over people. Where is your humanity?
@@Galen_G for me, that’s the easiest part of understanding his situation in my eyes…. Animals love us back unconditionally, never cheat on us and don’t care what we look like, the same can’t be said for humans. My dogs care if I live or die, people couldn’t care less.
I know everyone is talking about the dogs but most of them would be put down if taken to the pound . Atleast he cleans out after them and feeds and waters them and lets them out. He had a pile of blankets out because he said they all just got there fresh blankets.
He said he doesn't let them out EVER because the neighbor that doesn't like him tries to run them over. So they are stuck living in an overheated RV all the time sitting in their own excrement until he comes to clean...and I don't know how well he can clean with all those dogs in there...I doubt he lets them out for that. None of those dogs have seen a vet e-v-e-r, I bet you. This is no way for a dog to live....barely existing in a cramped overheated RV in their own filth and some dog food and water changed or given probably once a day? And that's not necessarily true that a shelter would just end up killing most of them if they truck them to various shelters in different areas, clean them up, have them see a vet, socialize them if needed, and advertise them for adoption. At least they would have a good life until the end or have the chance of being adopted out. How many dogs do you think this guy gives away in this down-and-out neighborhood? I'm guessing not many, if any. He's a wonderful guy with all good intentions, but he just has too many animals to take care of.
This man needs help. I'm wondering how many dogs he has. Those vehicles get too hot too. I wish a rescue group could incorporate him into a sanctuary situation..
Animal Control? SPCA.
Dog hoarder!! Deplorable conditions and can’t provide healthcare for all . And living in a hot truck. Damn shame.
And yet all of them are alive and thriving shocking!!
But the govt can provide for these illegals. Smh
@@MsAmique Your solution to his disgusting living conditions is to shower him with more benefits? Lol. That would enable him to hoard more animals. As he said in the video, he chose hoarding his animals over paying his rent...
God bless you and your compassion Big Super Living in Arizona.
This man is a beautiful and helpless soul.
An animal hoarder I do believe.
Wittmann . There are tweeker camps popping up all over the place there .
Still in the 100's over there.
@@robinsonfamily3948
Yeah, we'll leave that part to the professional's if that is the case.
It's the middle of the desert. They try to be mindful and be out of regular society way....until the yuppies want to move and act shocked 🤦♀️ seriously stop embarrassing yourself. You probably bought or will buy dope from this guy at some point of your life
Poor guy. I'm glad he's at peace now and the dogs are hopefully in loving homes.
I love how he saved the rattlesnake!!
I would definitely help him too ❤😊
We should arrange a Go Fund Me.
This is really upsetting. Extremely worried.
Go for it!
@@MK-hh1vo I think that's a good idea but I wonder if he would just use the $ to buy a new or fix up his old truck...and would live the same way (as well as the dogs) in the end? There are a lot of senior services that he is eligible for...he choses to live this way.
He'd prolly get another camper and get more dogs to fill them with
Clearly,with his shaking it wasn’t a matter of if but when. He was a very nice man!
