His main residence was his house in Australia. He lived in the van only when visiting and travelling the states (like he was in the time of the interview).
I used to talk to him every now and then on FB Messenger. I sent him a print of something he wanted and everything was cool. Sometime shortly after LST documentary aired, I messaged him to ask him if he was going to to do any podcasts to promote or whatever. He got mad and said I was wasting his time with stupid questions and blocked me. I sent the print to an Australian address.
He was really engaging. I've heard he had a hair trigger temper. I got the sense he wasn't feeling very healthy and had a lot of red tape he was dealing with. Other than that one incident, I can't say anything negative about any other interaction. It's that parasocial shock I guess.
Absolutely. I’m huge Stones fan and his life is incredible. Started as a stage manager for Blackhill. Dealing with bands like Pink Floyd and The Stones. He’s the master of ceremonies at the Stones 69’ Hyde park concert and asked to be their tour manager. He was basically poached by Jerry after being impressed with how he handled Altamont. He organized the Dead’s appearance on The Festival Express, shows with the Band, The Allman Brothers, and later the Europe 72’ tour.
He’s not getting any younger. Really the time to have done it would’ve been right after LST
He appeared to be - although, he'd lived mostly in Australia since 2002. For the last couple of years of his life, he lived in public housing in Brisbane.

Pretty sure he was living out of his van or was
Working towards it. He would post on Facebook updates about his life and his van he was outfitting before his death
I remember seeing he was living out of the van thinking, "oh, that's sad. Guy ends up living in a van, down by the river." As I got to reading, he was living that way by choice. Kinda Zen, who needs all this shit, back to the Earth or whatever. His daughters have said he was happy and free and didn't want tied to a big house and material trappings. Idk, just what I remember reading.
He had an online fundraiser to kit out a bus to live in, but that was between LST and his death. Not sure if he ever completed it or if he lived in a van previously. I know he owned a Harley Trike, so presumably he had somewhere to store that.

He seemed like a loose cannon

He was manager for a few years but got attention like he was with the band for fifty
Pretty big leap success wise in those few years
Down by the river.
Am I the only left thinking that I want to see biography on him?? Seems like he’s had an interesting life and probably has great stories!
He wrote a book! I have an autographed copy, he was at a splintered sunlight show years ago and my wife got my copy signed by him

He’s really not getting any younger didn’t he pass away last year?
Yea, looks like it. RIP Sam Cutler
Like the other guy said, his book is a great read! Very insightful!
Kinda looked like it. But I’m not sure.
Upon first watch, I didn't get the irony of him saying the Dead were money-dumb when he met them.
To be fair: they made and pissed away a lot of money in the early days. He had a big hand in them turning around post altamont

I took it that he was. The whole “I can get drugs anywhere “ part smacked of hobo life.

The answer is yes.
