RSBM
Where in the heck was he watching videos ? Library, perhaps ?
His ... living 'facilities' did not appear to have internet access.
So, he fixated on one component that made him enraged.
Almost like he was looking for an excuse to go on a rampage.
In my opinion.
As for myself --Not being one to believe every video that comes out without verification ; I am not going to say these videos are truthful and exact.
Will try not to examine more theories about these video clips as I didn't want to get too off-track.
:moo:
Based on pix & other info, agreeing he did not appear to live the high life. It may not have been as primitive or poverty stricken as some comments seem conclude. IDK. {ETA: DailyMail article described his structure as a "cabin," while imo, looks like RV-travel trailer w some kind of rustic DIY non-mobile addition. Living off the grid is mos' def' not for everyone.}
Watching vids? Maybe on a
smartphone? From pix I could not see phone line, if there, connected to his RV in Hartsel, but saw something that looked like a
sat. dish or cable dish. Poss that he has/had
internet access, just like many fulltime RV'ers (altho, admittedly, pix of his NoCarolina prop & Hartsel prop suggest he did not travel like many full-timers do).
Beside his Hartsel RV was
wood, apparently stockpiled to
heat the rig, eliminating a major need for elec.
Higher res pix might show other sources of elec for non-heat functions, e.g.
solar panels or gasoline, diesel, or LP-powered
generator. Just a few alternatives and not cheap to come by.
Below: Hartsel road sign on US Hwy 24. And maybe most or all of Hartsel, pop. ~600+, per 2000 census.
Something to be said for living w a view of those mountains. JM2cts.
