    I almost felt this video was directed at me...im the one who lost his daughter and expressed to you, how much your videos helped me deal with the pain..thank you. And the silent part was a nice touch...good job.

    Slim Potatohead, We enjoy your quiet time, with all the beautiful creatures of ancient times, the plants, the birds, the experiences of being a firefighter, (LOL) and doing your duty as a good human being.

    Your video work on this one is really nice, Slim. Also, thank you for taking the time to put out (and report) a fire in our National Forests. While it may have been unnecessary, responsible visitors like you are always welcome in my book.

      I'd actually enjoy just a fixed camera shot of the forest and 10 minutes of the sounds of the Sam Houston birds. And to see the starts of the night sky more. We don't get those views in the big city!!!

    I love your videos, I love the outdoors and yes it does bring peace to the heart and soul. I thank YOU for bringing this to me. Your piece with pictures and birds singing was fantastic. I disagree with the Rangers about the burn being intentional why wasn't someone there to keep and eye on it. I think you did the right thing trying to put it out.

  • @exploringrvdude7817

    Another great one,,, If you want humidity’s...just keep going East. And no...you never get used to it. We camp, but it’s usually northern Arkansas. We raised our 4 kids tent camping. Now we have 10 grandchildren and we still have family camp outs in the Fall. The beauty of tent camping is the fact that you are always together fo at least a weekend! Keep up the good work...I’m beginning to see great benefits with the A-liner!

  • @YOUSIYC7
    @YOUSIYC7 Před 5 lety

    So many memories came back when watching you hold the lightening bug.... when I was little, my cousin and I used to play with them, they were everywhere in Cuba, my grandmas front and back yard was always full of wonderful flowering plants and trees of all kinds, and it was a lighting show when the sun came down. Beautiful, magical memories!

    @mickichikwinya5519 Před 5 lety +1

    You've shown places that I'm not seeing in other videos that are definitely inspiring me to go further east than I thought I'd want to go. I've briefly traveled through the area but not for camping. I hadn't given much thought to all the great places to camp north of Houston. Now I'll add it to my list. Thank you!

    Another excellent video, Forest service is supposed to place A-frame signs out 48 hours prior to first ignition on controlled burns and leave them up for the remainder of the burn. Spring is a popular time for all our national force to do controlled burns except for the primitive areas.

    Yes you are the inspiration to begin enjoying the simple pleasures of nature. I just finished a 1300 mile trip to leave my van to get converted and because of you I took my time. Was amazed by the wildlife along the way. Smiled when you showed the click bug. I am always getting the bugs that come into our school and it always tickles me that some of the biggest tough students cringe away. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

    I like to see your living habits inside you camper, cooking, keeping warm, or cool, but I also like the equal balance you give to the greatness outdoors that you come across. Showing us the camper responsibilities and amenities helps others to plan their own trips outdoors this way, and seek the beauty and tranquility that you seek, and you find.

    Thank You Slim. The forest shots and sounds were great. The shot of Smokey Bear brings many memories of when I was growing up back in Oakland New Jersey. My father often dressed as Smokey for our town parade and a few times I got to dress up as Smokey for the kids next door. My dad enjoyed telling stories about Smoky's adventures.

      That bug that hops around I believe is the same one that is the lightning bug. If you notice on the video they have what appears to be eyes The Click bug has the same two dots on his back. That bug has the ability to flip itself back over with that click when it lands upside down.

  • @davestinytrailertravels526

    Slim it's hard waiting till Monday mornings for your videos but there worth the wait. It's because you play the natural sounds with your increasing photography skills that I believe is why you've gone from 10,000 to 50.000 plus in such a short time. Love the simplicity

      I love his voice & his great commentary . Makes it feel like your watching a National Geographic Channel or a Nature Show on PBS . I think Slim is missing his calling . He does a great job on every vlog he posts . I'm hoping soon he will be headed my way before the stinking hot & humid weather arrives here on the west coast of Florida not real far from Clearwater Beach on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico . His trailer doesn't have any a/c .

    Talking about people breaking into your camper, you said "What are they going to get, a couple cans of beans?" I don't know you other than what I see in these videos but I get the impression that if anyone asked you'd happily give them a couple cans of beans.
