Alpacaschwitz is the name of the tranny-run Camelid Death Camp.

Is it just me or do they seem to be really fake in this? It feels like the moment the camera is off of them they immediately change emotion back to the default estrogen-soy fugue state. Also I love the titles they come up with for themselves, like calling yourself a "permacultralist" and living in a literal dustbowl.

Pretending and faking is all troons know. It's their daily life and their entire existence.

The alpaca weren't tenacious enough for the sex-positive Tranch

Maybe if they wore bullet proof vests 4 sizes too small they'd have survived

Maybe if the troons had used critical thinking skills instead of feelings, they wouldn't have had a higher body count than all the horse racetracks in the U.S. for that year.

 

[Procopius]

A few of my highlights. The bullshit starts early. At 11:15 Phil says "I don't produce estrogen naturally, like some women." I'm guessing that's because he's a man. At 30:45 Fat Paul discusses the realities of self sufficiency and living off grid "If you run too may things it will shut off the generator". A few seconds later some Random Field Troon adds "I mostly miss ... my electric flat iron hair straightener".

At 32:30 there's a short but bizarre scene of them chasing down a ewe mid birth. I've no idea why they were doing that. Nor have they because in the next sequence they are discussing how some farm animals just die. This is just more Tranch animal mistreatment, because in the real world it doesn't happen. Ewes are pretty good at giving birth by themselves. If they do need help they tend not to be in any state to run away when you approach them. If the troons didn't know what to do they should have reached to a friendly local farmer who did (and who they hadn't antagonised by calling them a nazi), or to a vet. All the blood on the ground suggests they did something very bad, very badly.

At 37:40 Phil turns into Baron Munchhausen. "The threat was that they were going to burn us out, like that was the threat, that showed up across many many boards was that they were going to burn our house down to get us out of the county and take our guns. And we caught multiple people, armed, on the property that night, and that was two weeks ago now, and we've been at that level of harassment since then." Except we've all heard Aldo tell how he was asleep when it happened.

39:10 Jen joins in "We're currently at a safe house. Katherine [Kevin] is very uncomfortable around gunfire and I'm the best choice to go protect her at an off-site location right now."

43:20 Phil tries to make himself cry. Dudley Dursley would have done it better. If only they had read Harry Potter. "[Dudley] knew that if he screwed up his face and wailed, hs mother would give him anything he wanted."

43:58 Paul The Paranoid talks security. Or as most call it, bullshit. Highly Recommended. Five Stars.

1:08:05 Building the Tarp Barn. This part just annoyed me. Those poor alpacas. No mention of why the Tranchers suddenly realised, in the middle of winter with snow falling and high winds blowing, that they needed more shelter. No mention of where those alpacas had previously been kept.

A few random screenshots

Some of the suckers who got screwed over. Does signing up for Gov Benefits count as living off the land?

Just watched it and yeah I'm really disappointed we didn't get to see Kindness pretending to be blind and bumping into shit. I had really high hopes for this documentary and all I got was yet another puff piece that covers everything we already knew about the ranch. Serves me right for thinking a troon's work was gonna be good.

Spoiler: My Notes and highlights

• If you thought the #nofilter pics Kevin recently posted were horrifying, you have seen nothing yet
• 5:34 the guy on the right looks like Butt-head
• From 3:25 are they using lightsabers to herd the alpaca???
• 7:40 interview with Sky and Bonnie and Sky unironically sounds and acts like a literal tard
• 10:32 Penny is okay with his wife leaving him cause he's gay
• 12:10 Kevin hugs Penny from behind and it's incredibly homosexual
  • Also Kevin acts like a retarted baby here
• 13:35 we get rare footage of Kevin helping with the dishes
• 16:00 "kinda seeding the kinda eroded land with organic matter that will help retain that soil" - Fed J
• 17:45 Mention of the recycling progam. No mention that they totally gave up on it 2 months later
• 18:20 "I'm sensitive and scared a lot" - Kevin
• They go to the Boulder property and we see Penny's grandmother, and also some lore that Penny "built" the apartment they lived in before moving to the Livermore property
  • Also something about not having a contract with Penny's uncle regarding that first property or something?
  • "Bonnie woulda insisted on a fuckin' contract"
• Then we get the 4th of July parade and the tone is really dark and shit. And if you had any doubts the tranchers are total pussies they "just kinda ducked outta town as quick as [they] could" and complained on Twitter
• 26:40 J shows off his seed and guns and I got the distinct impression the cameraman is uncomfortable. Dunno why
• 30:36 "If you run too many things, it will shut off the generator, cause it cannot handle the load" Don't you have solar or batteries or some shit
• 30:51 wire gore
• 32:19 onwards we have a lamb's birth and the death of the ewe
• 34:00 Bonnie's "spoon's draining" is honestly really fucking funny to me for some reason
• 36:20 "we have a lot of conservative friends" - Penny
• 35:35 "This hypocritical bunch of hate-filled xenophobes are all the same. Filled with paranoia, self-righteousness, intolerance, the desire to rule and control, and obsessed with violence." Are they wrong tho?
• 37:02 get some lore about the siege though I think we already knew about this
• 39:05 new lore? Kevin and Jen weren't at the ranch during the siege; they went to an "off-site location," probably some motel or some shit
  • And Kevin of course spends the time in bed mindlessly scrolling Twitter
• 40:37 "So, uh, y'know, w-w-we're dealing with, uh, well, uh, entitled people who have no training or understanding of what they're really doing, uh, trying to intimidate people" - Paul "Bonnie" Nelson
• 42:37 Penny fondles the safety of his (probably overpriced) AR while leaning back and looking off into the distance
  • Also he can barely make himself cry
• 45:10 Penny and J (I think) walk around with flashlights in the middle of the night. Though I have no experience with the subject, I assume it's probably not a good idea if you think there's someone out there
• 47:20 onwards we see them bring in the Kubota and start getting hints of Penny and Bonnie's break-up
  • Spoiler: it's some gay shit where Penny "yelled" at Bonnie and now he's not speaking to Penny at all
• 48:24 "It is a very eclectic mix of people and like, we- you have to learn everyone's vibe and everyone's, like, just how to interact and how people feel about stuff, w-what to say, what not to say and like--" - Kevin
• 49:57 Bonnie is not talking to Penny
• 51:14 onward we get NPR stuff
  • Also here we get the only appearance of a natal woman actually, physically at the Tranch in this entire documentary
• 52:52 I'm no expert but it is okay for those two to be right in front of Bonnie on his rifle, even if they're just off to the side?
• 55:48 they trash talk NPR (I think?) for daring to present anything other than glowing propaganda about the tranch
• 57:36 onwards the serfs try to rebel and there's some gay arguments about work
• 1:01:46 Bonnie lore about his parents. Early 2021 grandfather died and at the funeral father had a stroke
  • And then right afterwards, for no reason at all, Bonnie leaves the tranch
• 1:06:00 Onwards Tranchers go and visit Bonnie in Denver (do we know the location?) one last time
  • Still no mention why Bonnie left the ranch
• 1:07:54 Onwards we seen them build the tarp barn as a storm moves in around them
• 1:10:19 Final animal count: 9 alpaca, 5 goats, and 1 sheep
  • Apparently not 10 as some people in this thread speculated
  • Also the other animals were worth, according to Penny, about $150,000

Also Pepe makes 4 cameos in this doc. Can you find them all?

 

[S.C.U.D.]

Just watched it and yeah I'm really disappointed we didn't get to see Kindness pretending to be blind and bumping into shit.

I believe this footage, or at least footage of Kindness being batshit insane, exists, but we will never ever see it. It will either sit on one of Ash's hard drives for eternity or he's already deleted it.

18:20 "I'm sensitive and scared a lot" - Kevin

His quote tweet: https://archive.ph/lE2I3
Bell ringer as we're leaving: Merry Christmas!
Me: Fuck you!
BR: You folks have wonderful Christmas!
Me (turning around to face him as I continue to walk away and flipping him double birds): It won't be with your homophobic ass ringing a bell!
BR: Merry Christmas!
Me: Fuuuck you!

 

[Oxyjen]

That was a satisfying watch. I was expecting it to be an extremely sympathetic portrayal so was not really disappointed about what was covered and what was not.

Spoiler

However, it showed the Tranch ending and the u-haul literally driving away! The tarp barn in tatters. That was a surprise.
“We achieved something real here” - ok buddy.

I really appreciated seeing the whole crew talking one on one with Ash, guard down - characters we only knew from the odd Twitter post or photo like Windy and Daisy, even Hedburg was in it.
J comes across just as unhinged as we suspected. Real live passive aggressive arguments about people not pulling their weight.

I have to say, if that was the rose tinted, protect the community version, just imagine what all was left out. Why was Ash so badly affected by the process - there must have. been heavy battles with Penny or Bonny throughout to gain control of the narrative as events continued to twist and turn. 15 re-cuts! Or was it external pressure - Ash could not afford to show them in too bad a light lest the trans cult turn on him, which weighed heavy on him as he wanted to tell the full story. Just speculating.

Anyway, it was by far the best piece done about the Tranch to date, and armed with all the background knowledge from here it was a useful addition and conclusion to the recorded history.

This was Kindness’s house in Aurora. If I remember right they left behind a pitbull puppy as a peace offering? Or that may have been a bit later.

The detail about Bonny losing his grandfather and then dad in short order does put in context why he was so fucked up that he relied on someone like Kindness for emotional support during that time.

Was Kindness even around for the filming of the documentary? From what I remember, she was only on the Tranch for a month or so before she proved to be too mentally ill even for the Tranch to handle.

Found this over on Reddit. Looks like they messed with the video a bit, so apologies for the low quality.

Here's the (publicly available) film festival Q&A with Ash Coyote, apparently recorded just a couple weeks ago.
View attachment 5410333

Nice aerial shot of the desertification. Still find it hilarious how - even when they had like 15 residents at the Tranch - they were too lazy to do anything about the piles of alpaca shit everywhere (those brown smears in the picture above).

Anyway. Late, but here are the things I found notable. Skip to the end for pictures.

---

In the documentary:

• 1:31 - Bonnie, Jarrod, and Penny introduce themselves.
• 4:42 - Penny talks about the Tranch as his life-calling.
• 5:24 - A random field serf named "Kallen" is introduced.
  • Side-note: the house troon vs field serf hierarchy at the Tranch is never actually brought up in the doc. The fate of the field serfs after the Tranch collapsed is also never mentioned.
• 5:34 - The field serf Windy is introduced. He has been discussed in this thread before.
• 5:48 - A random field serf named "Dakota" is introduced.
• 6:21 - Bonnie talks about his role at the Tranch and how he first joined. This was filmed while he was still living there (prior to any drama).
• 7:41 - Sky is introduced. (Bonnie's now ex-husband.) I feel bad for him. He looks a bit like a potato and clearly has autism or something, but otherwise seems like a decent person.
• 8:39 - Jarrod (aka Josie / Fedposter J) talks about how he joined the Tranch. Also says he decided to troon out thanks to Reddit.
  • "I haven't started transitioning. I don't appear even queer."
    • Fast-forward to today, and he still looks the exact same as he does in this doc. Especially funny since later in the doc, Jarrod talks about getting mad at an NPR journalist for asking him about why he looks like a man.
  • Jarrod says he was living with his parents during covid, but they gave him an ultimatum to stop associating with Antifa or else move out. Jarrod left and was living in his car for about a week, and then he read about the Tranch on twitter and decided to join.
• 10:05 - Penny talks about always wanting children. Rich coming from a guy who more-or-less abandoned his own two biological children. The whole Tranch project is basically his substitute, which makes its collapse even funnier.
  • 10:19 - "I got married at 18, we had my son at 18. [...] My marriage fell apart pretty quick. My best friend ended up marrying my wife. But I was gay, so... uh, it was really okay."
• 10:55 - Penny is filmed injecting estrogen. He says it's life-saving and compares it to medicine for high-cholesterol.
• 12:16 - The relationship between Penny and Kevin is discussed. They met through a mutual friend, someone who works at a laser hair removal place.
• 12:30 - Kevin Gibes (aka "Kat") is introduced.
  • 13:03 - Kevin: "It feels like a cheat code. I get to be in this space where no one can really harm me or judge me too harshly."
  • 13:13 - He shows off some of his Transformers collection. "There is a kind of trans-ness to Transformers."
• 13:40 - The relationship between Penny and Jen is briefly discussed. Jen mentions his health issues and says his family was abusive.
• 14:05 - The Tranchers play pretend, acting like they're busily sorting alpaca wool and working on the logistics of shipping merchandise.
  • The reality (which this doc never admits) is that their alpaca products were never popular, and they definitely lost money on them since they had to hire people to help sheer the alpacas and also paid a third-party to process the fiber into wool. The Tranchers ultimately dumped a whole bunch of unsold wool off on a Native American reservation, calling it a "donation". This documentary never talks about any of this, nor the Tranch's sketchy "charity" work or their numerous GoFundMe campaigns.
• 14:35 - Jen says Bonnie manages the Tranch's money, but he (Jen) works closely with Bonnie on this as well.
  • 15:17 - Penny: "If done properly, the finances are open to everybody in the ranch to see, and we all work together to get the right amount of money to pay the bills that are needed and cover emergencies that come up."
    • Fast-forward to recent times, and Penny & Jen have tried to shove all responsibility for the Tranch's dire financial situation onto Bonnie, even accusing him of embezzling funds. But based on the above, how would that be possible? Liars.
• 15:33 - Penny talks about their side-hustle of doing construction/landscaping work. Pretty vague though. I still suspect that they only ever did a handful of these jobs/projects. Also, the documentary only shows Penny and Jarrod doing any of this work.
• 16:26 - Surprise appearance of Jordan Hedberg, who's been discussed in this thread before! He's a local rancher as well as the owner of a liberal-leaning newspaper for the area. He has always been very sympathetic towards the Tranchers. This is the only local resident that Ash Coyote bothered to interview... Pretty strange, right? He shows up a couple more times in the documentary, too.
  • It also looks like Hedberg was one of their "clients" for construction/landscaping work. Remember that old house the Tranchers very poorly "renovated"? Now I'm wondering if it belongs to Hedberg or his parents...
• 17:45 - The recycling program thing gets mentioned as an example of the Tranchers "reaching out" to their local community. Unmentioned: the Tranchers very quickly gave up on it.
• 18:05 - Jarrod displays his paranoia. He's always on-edge when going into town because evil rightwingers might be lurking around. Kevin says he pretty much always stays at home because of this (sure, buddy! ).
• 18:47 - Penny talks about his personal history. Btw, the site of the new Tranch (in Longmont, CO) is the home Penny grew up in.
  • 19:01 - Penny's adoptive mom, Anahid, makes an appearance.
  • 19:20 - Penny shows off an "apartment" he built when he was 18? I think it's just another wing he added to the family home in Longmont, but I'm not positive. It was originally for him and his wife & baby, but obviously that didn't last. Penny says that later on, he was living in this "apartment" with Kevin and Jen (pre-Tranch).
  • 19:59 - Penny mentions some kind of "contract" or deal with his uncle? It's not clear. This might be how the Tranch v0.5 (at the property before the one in Westcliffe) came to be.
• 20:25 - Penny/Kevin/Jen/Bonnie are shown walking around the Longmont property. I find it remarkable how lush & green it is. Fast-forward to today, and this place (as the new Tranch) is like 60% of the way to complete desertification.
• 21:38 - Penny shows off a Tranch puff piece published in a newspaper.
• 21:49 - Footage of a 4th of July parade in Westcliffe.
  • This is funny, because it starts off "normal", but then faintly sinister music starts playing, and the documentary shows how some of the people are open-carrying guns or have rightwing stuff (Trump signs, "don't tread on me" flags, etc) on display. Clearly meant to imply that the parade was ACKSHUALLY some kind of fascist event.
  • 22:41 - Penny and Jordan Hedberg complain about the parade.
  • 22:42 - Penny called the townspeople "Nazis" on twitter, and he attributes this to the (almost certainly fake or greatly exaggerated) "harassment" the Tranchers later supposedly received.
• 24:25 - Penny talks about his time in the military. Muh trauma! He outright says it radicalized him into becoming an anarchist. Also copes about how anarchy isn't necessarily "violent".
• 25:49 - Jarrod talks about "queer anarchy".
• 26:56 - Jarrod shows off his guns.
  • 27:26 - In response to a question about why he always carries weapons on him, he says "community self-defense".
• 28:14 - Talks about doing armed patrols of the Tranch property line. "There are Three Percenters out there. There are lone-wolf terrorists..."
• 29:07 - Eric Siegel, a gay journalist who wrote this puff piece about the Tranch, gushes about how much he loved visiting the Tranch.
• 30:25 - Penny and Bonnie talk about the difficulty of living "off-grid".
  • 30:50 - Power was particularly an issue. Check out that wiring, btw!
• 31:05 - Asked about what he misses the most about living on the grid, field serf Windy says "an excess of floor space" and his electric hair straightener. He apparently couldn't use his hair straightener without putting a strain on the generator.
  • This is basically the closest the documentary comes to admitting that the field serfs lived in awful, cramped quarters without actually saying it. To compare: Kevin Gibes, as a high-status house troon, was allowed plenty of living space to put his huge toy collection on display, and he also had a gaming computer that he was probably playing on for 8+ hours a day.
• 32:20 - A sheep is shown giving birth.
• 32:33 - "If you don't do something right, people or animals could die." Very interdasting...
  • 32:48 - A dead alpaca is shown being brought out of the barn and loaded into the back of a truck. No mention of what caused its death. Penny just shrugs it off as "part of the cycle of life".
• 34:30 - The 9News piece by Katie Eastman is shown. It's about the Tranchers being "harassed" - i.e. someone sent the cops an anonymous tip that the Tranchers were abusing their alpacas, so a deputy showed up to check on them.
  • 35:02 - A text message from Katie Eastman to the Tranchers is shown. It said 9News received an envelope filled with powder and a death threat against the Tranch.
    • Ash Coyote was apparently too lazy to do an interview or get a new statement from Katie for the documentary, which is a shame. There has never been any follow-up on what happened with the (alleged) FBI investigation. Sending a death threat with some mysterious powder through the mail to a news station sounds like a serious crime. I wish we could have heard from Katie herself or a 9News representative. Kinda sketchy that a text message (which would be easy to fake) is the only "proof".
  • 35:13 - Eric Siegel claims that the above death threat happened. He also says that while he hasn't personally received any death threats, he did get "some nasty emails". Eric complains about the Sangre de Cristo Sentinel, a local newspaper run by a conservative boomer named George Gramlich. Eric reads a quote from Gramlich where he calls the Tranchers hate-filled/paranoid/obsessed with violence. (Where's the lie??) Gramlich also calls them "lost souls" and says that prayer/Jesus is the answer. wow What a horrible, fascist bigot!
• 36:10 - Bonnie and Penny complain about conservatives.
• 37:01 - Cameo from Robert Evans, a schizo anarchist journalist/podcaster. He's been discussed in this thread before, and he also published a four-part podcast special [see: here & here] praising the Tranch... a mere 3-4 months before the Tranch collapsed.
  • 37:20 - Penny claims that the Tranchers started getting "followed" around in town. No evidence, of course. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also claims that he started getting a whole bunch of warnings from friendly locals that a big "harassment campaign" was going to start soon. No proof of this either, and Ash Coyote curiously didn't bother to interview any of these totally-real people.
    • Penny: "The threat was that they were going to burn us out! ... They were going to burn our house down."
    • 37:51 - "We caught multiple people, armed, on the property that night."
    • 38:06 - Funny bit showing the Tranchers gearing up for WAR.
• 38:57 - Jen claims that he and Kevin fled to a "safehouse" during the siege saga because Kevin's afraid of gunfire.
  • 39:24 - Kevin talks about being scared.
• 39:58 - Penny and Jarrod are shown driving down the road, and they seem to claim (?) that they're being followed at that moment. I don't see what they're talking about. Paranoid weirdos...
• 40:38 - Bonnie and Penny shit-talk the stalkers/harassers/whatever, calling them incompetent. I guess this is the excuse they cooked up for why these phantom chuds have never actually caused any provable harm. Penny also brags that the Tranch isn't a soft-target.
  • 41:21 - Bonnie: "These assholes wanted us to move out, and instead, we're expanding!" Penny: "We're going to expand, YEAH!"
  • 41:40 - Jarrod: "There's just been kind of a series of escalations by the rightwing militia. From what we understand, they're mostly Three Percenters."
  • 42:07 - Jarrod says that the rightwing militia are "hateful people", but there's still hope for them! Maybe these chuds are just dealing with childhood trauma or something. Jarrod invites them to join the Tranchers in "the real world". The irony, the projection...
• 42:57 - Penny fake-cries about how he's responsible "for putting us on this path". Such a tragic hero!
• 44:00 - Surprise appearance by Paul Liistro, who is a crazy anarchist "ex-fed" explosives manufacturer. He's a friend of the Tranch and has done a lot to try and propagate the totally-real "siege" story.
• 45:08 - Nice clippable scene where the Tranchers (fully kitted up) are out sweeping the property at night with their rifles and searchlights.
• 45:45 - First hint in the documentary that there's internecine drama at the Tranch. Penny calls it family bickering.
• 46:04 - Field serf Daisy is introduced. He's been discussed in this thread before.
  • He says the Tranch means "everything" to him. Poor guy.
• 47.46 - Sad music starts playing and Penny vaguely says that he and Bonnie had an argument.
  • Also, cameo of Pepe the Vicuna. RIP Pepe.
• 48:17 - Other Tranchers vaguely talk about "challenges" and drama. This is obviously about the Kindness saga, but Ash Coyote has gone to great lengths to edit her out of the documentary.
• 49:00 - Jarrod disses (unspecified) Tranch residents who sit around not doing any work.
• 49:57 - Penny says Bonnie isn't talking to him. (This is presumably after the Tranchers kicked Kindness out.)
• 51:16 - More militia LARPing and target practice. Very clippable!
• 53:00 - The Al Jazeera (AJ+) journalists who made this video about the Tranch appear in the documentary. Penny teaches one of the journalists how to shoot a gun.
• 54:56 - An audio clip from NPR plays over footage of the Tranchers setting up fences & digging trenches (for "security"). The clip is of the local sheriff saying that the unicorns don't seem to want to be part of the community.
  • 55:32 - The Tranchers complain about the NPR reporter. They're mad that he actually tried to be fair & balanced in his reporting. Unmentioned here, but they ended up "banning" NPR from the Tranch afterward (bottom of this post).
  • 56:00 - The NPR reporter asked about Jarrod's "lived identity" (i.e. why he claims to be a woman when he doesn't even try to look like anything other than a man).
• 57:30 - I think I spotted the elusive FTMs! Sitting on the couch on either side of Jarrod. The pink-haired person might be the white stoner FTM, and the other person is the black FTM. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
  • I think there's another glimpse of the white FTM at 1:01:30.
  • Very funny/interesting that the two FTMs never get properly introduced or interviewed in the documentary.
• 57:30 - Some kind of big argument happening inside the house. There's a nice camera sweep which shows how cramped and messy the house is, lol.
• 58:55 - Jarrod is mad. He feels like he and Penny are the only ones doing the hard work.
  • 59:46 - "We have like... 12, 15 people, ya'know? I need some help."
• 1:00:51 - Penny complains about random stuff. Prelude to the Tranch collapsing.
• 102:07 - Bonnie talks a bit about his family issues. Lots of sad/somber music from this point onward.
• 1:04:15 - Bonnie talks extremely vaguelyabout the drama between him and Penny. I assume this is right before Bonnie moved out.
  • 1:04:55 - Penny says Bonnie is gone. No details given.
• 1:05:27 - Penny: "I don't have any money. I don't have a bank account." Liar.
  • Penny says he's poured everything into the Tranch, and he doesn't like that someone (Bonnie) met him on that level but later changed their mind. Basically pushing all the blame for the Tranch's failure on Bonnie.
• 1:05:56 - Dramatic scene of Penny on a laptop, practically crying that he's been "locked out" of all the Tranch's online accounts because he supposedly doesn't have the passwords. (LIAR.)
• 1:06:14 - The Tranchers drive over to Denver to meet with Bonnie (who's living there with Kindness, although again - there's not a single glimpse or mention of her).
  • 1:06:29 - The meeting takes place. Everyone is mostly silent, nothing substantial is said.
  • 1:06:52 - Penny mentions a propane bill. Probably related to their big propane tank getting repo'd. Of course, Ash Coyote didn't see fit to cover the Tranch's financial problems in this documentary...
• 1:07:16 - Ash asks Bonnie why he is "here" (i.e. why he left the Tranch). This takes place at the meeting above (so not long after Bonnie moved out). Bonnie gives a noncommittal answer.
  • Sure is a shame that Ash didn't contact Bonnie again later on or cover his twitter allegations. Very convenient.
  • 1:07:39 - Penny looks oh-so-sad and laments that talking to Bonnie is like "talking to a stranger". Definitely framing all this like Bonnie was 100% the problem, lol.
• 1:08:06 - Footage of the tarp barn being constructed.

• 1:09:26 - 14 month time-skip. All the previous footage was from late 2021, I believe. But apparently Ash came back in March(?) 2023 to record the remaining Tranchers moving out.
  • 1:09:44 - Penny is packing stuff into a U-Haul.
  • 1:09:51 - Penny, in a hushed tone: "We just had some shit come down the line with Bonnie, the land-owner here. Bonnie's mom and Bonnie technically own the land, even though we've been paying the mortgage... the ranch has been paying the mortgage since day one. But that doesn't matter... they're the ones on the title..."
  • 1:10:13 - "So we had to give away most of the animals. What you see here is what we have left. 9 alpaca, 5 goats, and 1 sheep. That's about 150 thousand dollars worth of animals we gave away... We're moving to Longmont, Colorado, and we'll be at the new location tonight...
    • Ash Coyote has really backstabbed Bonnie by letting Penny spout all this rubbish unchallenged. It would be fine if Ash got both sides of the story and included them in the documentary, but obviously that didn't happen here.
    • Absolutely no evidence that the animals were "given away". Maybe some people just consider it a meme, but I genuinely believe that the mass graves are real.
    • To add insult to injury, Penny lies that the animals were worth $150k... No, there's a reason the Tranchers were given ~200 alpacas for free when they first started out; it's because practically no one wants to raise alpacas anymore, especially not such a large herd. Raising alpacas was briefly a fad decades ago, but that fad died out quickly. The Tranch's animals weren't worth anything, and it would have been very difficult to even find another sucker willing to take them for free...
• 1:10:45 - Close-up of the blackboard with "NO HOPE NO FUTURE" written on it. Penny, Jarrod, and Jen are shown moving stuff out of the house.
• 1:11:24 - Kevin is shown messing with bubblewrap (probably for his toys, lol). Kevin says he's been wanting to leave for months now. "I'm just done with this place, ya'know?"
• 1:11:36 - Jen is "in the depths of PTSD right now".
• 1:11:57 - Penny dramatically looks out over the Tranch property... "Something real happened here. We did what we came to do..." Sad music plays. The U-Haul is shown driving away from the Tranch.
• 1:12:22 - Lame ending speech about the true meaning of TENACITY.
  • 1:12:44 - Penny, Jen, and Kevin are shown at the new Tranch (Penny's family home in Longmont) with their small handful of surviving animals.
• 1:13:17 - Some old interview segments of the Tranch residents for reminiscence purposes, I guess.
  • Ash Coyote really has some gall to show several field serfs in this sequence, considering he never talked about what happened to them after the Tranch collapsed. You also see Jarrod and Penny petting the Tranch's big guardian dogs, but those dogs totally vanished with not a word of what happened to them.
    • I get mad thinking about it, because it wasn't just the ~150+ alpacas that disappeared. The Tranchers also had a bunch of dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, etc... Some of the cats have been seen at the new Tranch, but all those other animals are MIA.

THE END

I still need to go through the Q&A with Ash Coyote. There were a few interesting bits to highlight, but I'll save that for another post.

Random pictures from the documentary:

Spoiler: Lot of Pictures

The FTMs (?) with Jarrod in the middle:









Looks like Bonnie was also a fan of Pepe the Vicuna:


Going to WAR:


Penny's family home in Longmont.

Notice how lush it is, and then compare it to any of the Tranch Patreon posts I've made in the past ~6 months. The place is rapidly becoming a desert, just like the old Tranch.

 

[stupid frog]

All the documentary does is prove Bonnie isn't the one lying though. You could make a counter video easily. Insanity.
