It would kill him to sit behind a desk from nine to five. Roberts has carved out a space for himself beyond the humdrum world of making money and paying rent. He has built a custom home on the truck bed of his Toyota Tacoma so he can live where he truly feels alive - on the mountain. Roberts lives out of his truck, which you can often find on in the parking lot of the Mount Baker Ski Area 50 miles east of Bellingham, Wash. He hikes up the mountain on skins and skis down through massive powder. He cooks and sleeps in his self-made gypsy wagon. Living off the grid has its challenges, but Roberts willingly sacrifices convenience to be amongst the trees, deep in the snow. This video profile was shot, edited and produced by Western Washington University students Jasper Gibson, Hannah Leone, Elliot Reid and Annika Wolters. They shot video of Roberts performing day-to-day activities, skiing on Mount Baker and interviewed him in his natural environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a8ddb0e4b025722db01666/1428957503365-XB3029S11XM8ERDH81PT/image-asset.jpeg INDEX - Three Paychecks Fifty-one-year-old Robert Ables has led a life filled with highs and lows just like anyone else. However, he’s a part of a different experience than that of the average American. Ables has been homeless in Bellingham, Wash., since 2012. In 2013 alone around 610,042 people were homeless, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Homelessness is not a new concept to Ables, who has struggled with it on and off for a large portion of his life. When he returned to Bellingham he said the conditions he saw caused him to join the Rainbow Recovery Center to help others dealing with homelessness. On Tuesdays he also helps pass out food to the homeless. He’s actively involved in City Council decisions making sure the voice of the homeless are heard. However, helping other homeless individuals while he himself is homeless is far from easy. This video was shot and edited by Carina Linder Jimenez, Sayaka Iida and Daniella Beccaria, all Visual Journalism majors at Western Washington University. The video was produced for Western’s Digital Media in Journalism class during winter 2015. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a8ddb0e4b025722db01666/1388124806089-48FDR0Q71B62EU52FF66/image-asset.jpeg INDEX - Strength https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a8ddb0e4b025722db01666/1458080610524-U2R8Z52M3GUXHDB5WDCD/JPEG.png INDEX
