    Slim, loved the intro in the rear view mirror. I said to myself "Hey, Slim is really looking professional now". Little did I know. Your photography, lighting and subject matter are outstanding. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Slim, I just purchased a lazy days RV I’ve been Boondocking for about six weeks hassled by security and The man. What an experience! And yet I am a very fortunate man I have my home on wheels and it’s nice. I plan on hitting all 48 states in the contiguous United States. Watching your video is an inspiration for me. Thank you very much Slim !

    Slim- this was a magnificent video. Your appreciation for your environment combined with your storytelling skills and videography/photography was at its best. The music...everything. I loved the mud patterns!!! And I seriously would purchase a copy of that 3rd still photograph at the end. Can I?

      Hi Shalome, Thanks for your kind words. I put some images on my blog which I assume can be downloaded. I'm still learning how to do things online but will figure it out. Go to the "About" section and send me an email. Thanks Again! Slim

    Slim,
    I was working photographer for 25 years and as a result I’m incredibly picky, and I have to say your videos are consistently superb. This one may be my favorite thus far.
    You’re a photographic eye, editing, pacing, choice of music, script writing and narrative skills- all in perfect balance. I very much appreciate these videos since in my retirement I am doing quite a bit of traveling with our camper.
    Thanks again!

    Slim, AWESOME Video! I am embarrassed to say that I lived only 200 miles away from the Valley of Fire for over 30 years and never visited it. This will go on my bucket list of places to visit with my A-Frame. Thanks again for your video talents.

    Some of the most interesting stuff in the desert areas of the western US are right at your feet. While dry camping near Quartzite AZ, I was poking around near my tent camper and found a flat rock about the size of a small cookie embedded at eye level in saguaro cactus. How fascinating that before I arrived, who knows how long ago, the winds had blown hard enough to pick that rock up and fling it hard enough to stick it in that tough old cactus hide.

    Another great video. While I appreciate all the tips/tricks/gear videos online, you are my favorite "storyteller" on CZcams. You obviously put a lot of passion into creating scripts, setting scenes, and shaping a narrative. I give presentations for a living (avoiding Death By Powerpoint), I storyboard my slides with images like a movie vs. filling the screen with words. Since the human person is hardwired for story, I've learned that's what really helps people remember your content - when images connect head and heart. I hit the road part-time with my rescu-er Bella in a Promaster City with a Wayfarer Van conversion. I was just in Valley of Fire and Gold Butte a couple of weeks ago. Still nippy, but perfect weather for hiking. I camped in Virgin River and Valley of Fire. I stopped at Poverty Flats along the way, but it was way too windy up there at the time. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! Here's my quick Valley of Fire video czcams.com/video/sbdjnv7HPLo/video.html
