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.
Blessings of comfort to you Russell Mims. May our Lord ease your pain. "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted". Jesus said that, Russell.
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. Thank you Slim. You do humankind proud. Our spirits travel with you on your journey. Carolyn and Colin Hogarth
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.
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!
October 4, 2024 Maryland USA: As you can see in the future enjoying your travels. As subscribers we all share the same appreciation that you bring with such a love first for the land. Whether in Canada or the USA. There are so many priceless life lessons to history of the places you visit. Continue your travels knowing that you bring to many of us that moment that we too our journeying across these beautiful places. Also, the work into your cabin in coming along quite well despite some of the weather that has happened. I look forward to maybe one day catching you on a live broadcast or traveling again in Maryland near my home. Keep on boondocking.
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!!!
Hi Slim, yet again i find myself thanking you for a great video, and yes, you made my day. And congratulations on the 51K plus sub's, it's very much deserved.
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 don't have a trailer and haven't camped in a few years, but somehow I got addicted to your videos... You've got interesting subject matter and great production values.
I too, look forward to your videos. I will often re-watch the nature ones as they are so beautiful and inspiring. The bird songs were the best music!! Thank you, thank you...all love and openness to you.
Hi slim. I've been watching for a little while and really like your style. Thanks for putting yourself out there. That takes guts. Your honesty, and sense of peace is awesome. I'll be hitting the road full time soon because I just can't do the rat race anymore. I live in Minnesota and love camping here. Happy camping slim.
I appreciate your channel and your freedom to travel. I can't scoot around with such freedom because of my special needs wife, a stroke survivor. But, watching your videos brings me some travel joy. Thanks. And, I missed the tip on that lift assist 2 x 4 idea.
Your love for outdoor is contagious. The way you handle every situations that comes your way be it be positive or negative is inspiring. Happy camping!
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.
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.
Hey thanks for venturing into my back yard. I live in Houston and have camped in that area many times. I always like it when someone comes here and has good ideas for beating the heat and especially the humidity.
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
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!
I feel I should be thanking you, Mr. Slim Potatohead! Your videos are of a very high quality - both technically and artistically. I am grateful to be able to share with you, your adventures.
Wow ! Another Slim P relaxing therapy session. Your videos are getting better and better. Made my day again . Sincerely thank you Slim for your insights and entertaining videos ...looking forward to your next adventure...
I started watching your channel when you had about 10k subs. I appreciate your ability to capture and present the wonders of our diverse country. Your unique personality and your special talents, both mechanical and technical, are refreshing and enjoyable to watch. I wish you all the best as you continue to share your adventures. Both thumbs up !!!
Slim, you have an extraordinary eye for framing and taking a photograph! Very, very nice. Your soothing voice adds to your videos and makes for a intimate viewing, as if I was hanging out with a friend. Very calming.
We're all happy to be your subscribers because you bring such a lovely experience into our lives. The footage of the foliage with the bird song background is incredible, as is the time lapse of the night sky, well done! Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us!
It is so great to take part in Your adventures like this. Thanks for sharing great material and it just gets better and better. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
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.
Your nature piece at the end, your commentary in the final shot, and the sounds during your final talk made me cry I am experiencing America the Beautiful through your videos and it means so much. Melissa in New Zealand.
Your videos are very much appreciated by me and a lot of people. They are beautiful, informative and relaxing. And another nice thing as far as I'm concerned, you aren't trying to "act". You are being who you are which is really nice. And congrats on your 50,000!
Slim you do an outstanding job putting these videos together. It is obvious that you take the extra measures other youtubers are unwilling to take. I truly enjoy your channel.
I'm working towards my goal of hitting the road every day! I just hope that after 50 years in this crazy world I can learn to slow down, relax and let it all go. Thanks for the inspiration, Sir.
What is nice is to see and travel around with Slim. Always have had big motorhomes and it's neat to see and experience the back woods boondocking experience. Keep up the great work! 😊👍
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. I've been watching a lot of your videos recently and just subscribed. High quality stuff without any drama. Thanks for all the work you put into them.
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!
Wowee! Congratulations on nearly 52k subscribers, well deserved for sure. I would have put that fire out too, last thing any of us needs is a forest fire in the woods we're camping at. There truly is nothing like that sense of serenity just being able to sit and observe nature. Thank you for bringing us along 👍🌞🌞🌞🌞
Thanks for the night shots and the silent part. I'm visiting your channel to relax from daily business until I can pack my stuff again and sleep underneath the stars.
Great video. We use the little plastic containers of moisture rid. When we move we put some plastic wrap with a giant rubber band we get at the dollar tree. If they tip over no mess😀
Just want to say how much I really enjoy your videos and all the hard work you do and put into them. Great job. Controlled fire??? Aren't you suppose to be there to control a controlled fire? Oh well. Guess I learn something new every day. The birds singing and the lightin' bugs were beautiful. Happy Trails my friend.
Hello Slim, I want to thank you so much for your videos. I wish I could go out and just loose myself in the forest. I love to start my week by watching your nature shots. Thanks again.
You always make my day Slim! Every time I get a notification of a new video I know my day is going to become a whole lot brighter. Thanks as always my friend for sharing the wonders of your travels and adventures with all of us. Hope to see you on the trail one day in the future :D
Has anyone else say that you remind them of Marty Stouffer (Wild America)? That's not a bad thing. Rather a compliment. Keep up the good work!! Maybe I'll see you on the Mogollon Rim one day.
Great vids Slim When I solo camp I always bring along another chair for guests, I put this chair out so it looks like I am not alone. Also when I don't bring my dog I still put out his chain and a water bowl for guests, just the bowl not the chain,lol. Keep them coming Slim.
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.
As a Tennessee girl I always love seeing videos east of west (New Mexico, Utah, Colorado)...thanks for a great vid sort of close to my neck of the woods....:-) Loved the lightening bugs, Mr. Slim!
Very nice video, Slim. Especially the nature shots and quiet listening. Beautiful starry night skies too! You got it all. Even the fireflies!! Great job. Narration also friendly, informative, kind, humorous, helpful. Love your bike. Sorry about humidity. We in Florida so can totally understand! Keep them coming. Blessing to you.
Slim, your leaving comments rang as true and beautiful as the natural sounds of the forests. You are much appreciated for allowing us to follow your experiences on your adventures. Cheers!
Mr Slim. I look forward to your videos, I think you have some of the best video camera work of anyone on you tube. I appreciate the extra effort you put into making a quality video each time. Keep up the good work. Where you heading next?
I've been housebound due to health issues since 2004 and truly appreciated being able to travel with you. Thanks so much for sharing. :)
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.

My wife loves the sounds of nature..and it helps her feel better..thank you from her.
Your voice has become a calm-inducing addiction for me, and I'm sure others.
Take care Dad!
I love starting my week with a new Slim video!
sleeksilver with this covid19 self isolation
, I have been binge watching slims videos.
I'm retired & it doesn't get any better to start the week by watching/listening to one of your videos, brand new or otherwise.
Why not hit the road like Slim?
I appreciate the natural audio as well. Gotta appreciate the beauty of God's creation when you can. Safe travels!
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!

The sounds of the forest opened my heart. Thank you for sharing.
Type sounds of forest in youtube! You gonna love it!
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!!!
Hi Slim, yet again i find myself thanking you for a great video, and yes, you made my day. And congratulations on the 51K plus sub's, it's very much deserved.
And in August, you have 70K subscribers. Well-earned!!!
Although brief, loved the flashes from the lightening bugs.
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 don't have a trailer and haven't camped in a few years, but somehow I got addicted to your videos... You've got interesting subject matter and great production values.
LOVED the section of nature sights and sounds, especially the lovely bird songs.
And the fire flies!
I too, look forward to your videos. I will often re-watch the nature ones as they are so beautiful and inspiring. The bird songs were the best music!! Thank you, thank you...all love and openness to you.
Thank you for caring enough to put out that fire. They should post signs where the do the control burns. Excellent shots of the forest.
Hi slim. I've been watching for a little while and really like your style. Thanks for putting yourself out there. That takes guts. Your honesty, and sense of peace is awesome. I'll be hitting the road full time soon because I just can't do the rat race anymore. I live in Minnesota and love camping here. Happy camping slim.
You have the knack for packing more into a 15 minute video than others put into an hour. Always, always enjoy every minute of your efforts.
I appreciate your channel and your freedom to travel. I can't scoot around with such freedom because of my special needs wife, a stroke survivor. But, watching your videos brings me some travel joy. Thanks. And, I missed the tip on that lift assist 2 x 4 idea.
Quite an orchestra, playing out your way. The sights and sounds abound, enjoy your day. ☮❤♻
Your love for outdoor is contagious. The way you handle every situations that comes your way be it be positive or negative is inspiring. Happy camping!
We really love your photography and also just playing the natural sounds of the forest instead of ruining with music.
Still got that eye for beauty. Thanks Slim.. you deserve all 50 of us
Yup. Texas is where its at. Only bad thing is our bi-polar weather. But it's cool.
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.

I haven’t heard those bird sounds since we moved from NC to PA some 4 years ago. Thank you for sharing
I feel I should be thanking you, Mr. Slim Potatohead! Your videos are of a very high quality - both technically and artistically. I am grateful to be able to share with you, your adventures.
I have to agree, it just wouldn't be a good week without something new from you Slim. Another great one.
what I love the most about our vlog, are the shots around your campsite, the trees, the flowers, etc. keep it up.
Wow ! Another Slim P relaxing therapy session. Your videos are getting better and better. Made my day again . Sincerely thank you Slim for your insights and entertaining videos ...looking forward to your next adventure...

I lived in San Antonio many years ago and remember well that hot humidity. I don't miss it.
You are blessed to do what you do.
Your spirit radiates my friend . 😊

Hey, Slim! Nice video. Those little aviators are called "lightning bugs" here.
What is nice is to see and travel around with Slim. Always have had big motorhomes and it's neat to see and experience the back woods boondocking experience. Keep up the great work! 😊👍
The bird songs were lovely and relaxing.
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.
I've been watching a lot of your videos recently and just subscribed. High quality stuff without any drama. Thanks for all the work you put into them.
Thank you for another wonderful video...birdsong, lightnin' bugs, spring green....all of it much appreciated! Journey mercies.
I'll scroll through because I'd like to see your shower setup. Your enthusiasm is definitely catching and I love your sound wisdom.
I wish to express my appreciation for your hard work on these videos. I highly enjoy them and find there content both entertaining and informative!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us . I do enjoy getting out camping as time allows and taking photos as often as I can .
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.

Thanks for the night shots and the silent part. I'm visiting your channel to relax from daily business until I can pack my stuff again and sleep underneath the stars.
Great video. We use the little plastic containers of moisture rid. When we move we put some plastic wrap with a giant rubber band we get at the dollar tree. If they tip over no mess😀
More of the requested sounds and sights of nature. Your mic and sound recordings are better than any other channel I watch and listen to.
Now you’re 70k subscribers!

So beautiful and with a nice touch of humour.. you have a gift for sure !👍
Beautiful photos and the sounds of nature are so relaxing and peaceful! Can't wait to get out there!!!
Has anyone else say that you remind them of Marty Stouffer (Wild America)? That's not a bad thing. Rather a compliment. Keep up the good work!! Maybe I'll see you on the Mogollon Rim one day.
Great vids Slim
When I solo camp I always bring along another chair for guests, I put this chair out so it looks like I am not alone. Also when I don't bring my dog I still put out his chain and a water bowl for guests, just the bowl not the chain,lol.
Keep them coming Slim.
Like the natural sounds of the forest....
Funny stuff with the controlled burn. Thanks!

We really enjoy your videos always looking forward to the next. Love the moments with nature sounds and beautiful shots of colorful.
Very nice video, Slim. Especially the nature shots and quiet listening. Beautiful starry night skies too! You got it all. Even the fireflies!! Great job. Narration also friendly, informative, kind, humorous, helpful. Love your bike. Sorry about humidity. We in Florida so can totally understand! Keep them coming. Blessing to you.
Thanks, another good one! Especially appreciate having only the nature sounds in the videos of the flora and fauna! Good call!
Slim, your leaving comments rang as true and beautiful as the natural sounds of the forests. You are much appreciated for allowing us to follow your experiences on your adventures. Cheers!
Very nice video, Slim. You have a great eye for beauty in its simplest form. And, most natural form.
Mr Slim. I look forward to your videos, I think you have some of the best video camera work of anyone on you tube. I appreciate the extra effort you put into making a quality video each time. Keep up the good work. Where you heading next?
Still going east. SP
