Started my morning with your video and some coffee. Your cinematography and narratives surpass many. Thanks for taking the time to do such beautiful work.
WOW! what Beauty!..... Took My Breath away..... Ok, just stick the camera out there, standing on the edge Freaked me out!.... Thanks Slim for taking us along...... WOW! Your Videos are just Amazing!..... Happy New Year....
Thank you for opening up this magnificent earth we live on. Most would never have the opportunity to experience just how blessed we are. So beautiful, so majestic.
Lovely way to end the year. It is amazing that so few people select the road less travelled but you had beautiful scenery and not a screaming kid in sight. Maybe someday I'll be there, too.
I so appreciate your videos... your talent for word smithing and linking the scripts to your video editing are simply spot on. You have a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing.
Went there with my Mom and Dad when I was 16. Distances were unbelievably hard to estimate. I'm 74 now and really appreciate your video !!!! Thanks for the memories. :)
I got dizzy just watching you take that selfie standing on the rock overlooking the canyon and walking along that ledge at Angel Peak. Always enjoy your posts and to pick up a tip or two on accessorizing my A-Liner Ranger.
Equally entertaining and informative. As I lay watching your videos, my spirit ventures along with you as my physical being shudders to where you dare hike. I am just in awe.
I used to live at Montrose and went to the Black Canyon about 3-4 times a week. I love to sit on the rim and listen to the roar of the water as it echoes through out the whole canyon. I truly miss it. Loved your video. Thanks for sharing
Mr. P you are by far the best nomadic UA-camr channel I've come across so far. The production values of your videos are unreal, it's like a cross between a nature documentary and travelogue but with a boondocker's ethos. I get wanderlust every time. Keep doing what you're doing!
Love the Black Canyon, been there a few times. My kids still talk about the time a deer 'threw` rocks on the roof of our car. Can't wait to see where you take us all on the next video adventure!
I can not tell you in words how much I enjoy your videos. We visited the Black Canyon many years ago. It is truly beautiful. I had hoped to visit that area again in my little converted minivan camper. Still hopeful. Thank you for bringing back those good memories.
Dam man! Yes, heights do scare the hell out of me and even in a good picture like U have within here just is too much to look at. U do excellent photography work and I so enjoy your videos. For me, I would be staying closer to my trailer and enjoy what I could see from there.
Such great shots! Great places. And you have such good balance! Happy New Year, and thank you for continuing to inspire. PS. I came back to make sure I saved this. Definitely want to visit. Thanks
I have been binge watching all of your videos and can't get enough! I feel like I have been around the world with ya slim! Can't thank you enough my friend!
Happy New Year, Slim. I have been binge watching all your videos this past couple of weeks, love them all. There are loads of things l want to ask, but l will limit it to one. You always say the solitude and back to nature is what you want, l totally get that. But your joy and natural ability to talk about what you are doing/seeing shines through. I too love what the untrodden paths show, but to have a companion that you can just say wow to, the chance later on to recap highlights of the day over a fire and a beer are to me part of the joy. Talking for talking’s sake isn’t my thing either, but the sharing of that day’s adventure has a place, in my opinion. Thank you for sharing with us 😊
Hi Debbie, Thanks for your kind words. Although I enjoy solitude, I don't always seek it. I equally enjoy meeting people, sharing, and listening to their stories. I also respect that very few want these meetings on public media! Hopefully the other side of my travels will be more apparent as others are more trusting with my viewers. Thanks! SP
There is a vlog in England called cruising the cut. It's a guy who cruises the canals around Great Britain in a narrow boat. He also has another series in which he build out a Van into an RV and takes trips in Great Britain. I have have been a fan of both of you for a long time now. The British guy recommend five of the clogs he watches. Yours was number one. Was amazed as he is on the other side of the pond as the British say, but I was not amazed by his choice. You are both very similar. Smart, pleasant, informative and produce very good videos. I wasn't sure if you were aware of this. Congratulations.
Thanks, from a remote part of the UK. Great videos - please never stop. It was only recently I was recommended your channel by a British UA-camr, David Johns of Cruising the Cut. He praised your videos and I have to agree, he was right.
Like your unspectacular way to show nature’s beauties. It’s always good to stay off the beaten track and to save money where there is a chance. Happy New Year from Elsfleth, Germany.
Slim, your travel/adventure videos are simply great! Have a happy, healthy, fulfilling 2019 with all the freedom you desire from those annoying crowds!
good erie music for the deep, deep canyon. and i was afraid for you as you were on the edge filming it for us. and then angel peak? let's just say i'm happy you have a good sense of balance. but i really, really enjoyed the scenery. you are wonderful w/ the camera! i have a ford freestyle which would be a good car to pull one of those aframes. every now & then i shop around for one. just can't afford it yet, but it would be so cool to travel to some of those places in comfort. you must be having a wonderful time! thank you for sharing.
You must have been a MOUNTAIN GOAT in a previous life! These videos made my heart beat faster as I am VERY afraid of heights! Beautiful footage...thanks!
Thanks for the video SP. You're right, the sunset really brought out the colors. As always I enjoyed the scenery and adventure. Looking forward to more. -Chris
As a fellow Calgarian, traveler and television broadcast tech.. I have really enjoyed your videos. I'm preparing my new travel van for adventures. Plan to hit the road late spring. Keep up the great work.. you are an inspiration. See ya on the road...
Every time I watch a new video, I say to myself the production quality just cant get any better. Then the next video comes along and proves me wrong. This channel has some of the most spectacular work I've seen anywhere on UA-cam. Thank You for a great 2018, and best wishes for 2019!
I lived in Farmington for 5 years and I'm sorry to say I never knew this was so close to me. I will be returning there just to see Angel Peak. I'll be retiring this year and will begin my travels and you've given me an idea to spend next New Year's Eve. Thank you for sharing
I was particularly impressed with the your ability to show elevation changes (on the trail) as well as the more dramatic canyon depths. So often, graphic recordings tend to flatten elevation variations. The rest of the video essay wasn't too shabby, either. Thanks. BTW, I'm subscribing after a recommendation (01/01/19) from _Cruising the Cut._
Geez, Slim....was scared for you on that ledge, kept thinking of that couple that fell at Yosemite taking a selfie. Some beautiful footage though for sure. Can't give it enough thumbs up!! Stay safe out there.
Oh my gosh! So beautiful. Those last shots of the night sky were breath taking! Interweaving the realities of repairs, discomfort, whatever happens along with spectacular beauty is a great way of keeping it real. I love the balance.
Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!!! I seconded the statement below. I love your video style, music selection and narration. Your videos are "documentry quality" You have this (video production/editing) down to a professional science! Bravo, bravo! 👍👍 Please keep up the excellent videos!
What a great way to bring in the New Year! Your eye for nature is breathtaking, or was that me holding my breath as you stood on the edge? Seriously, you are a kindred spirit and you feed my need for nature while I am unable to go at the moment, thank you and Happy New Year!
Your finest work...IMO! I have followed and enjoyed you and your adventures for some time. This by far is some tremendous videography of nature and our gorgous country! And your commentary is second to none. Thank you for the effort you put in to bring it to us!!!
Holy cow Slim! Seriously one of your best compilations. I've never heard of Black Canyon or Angel Peak and the contrasts between the two were very well put together. The footage of the night sky at the end was a nice touch. You're getting quite good at taking night time video. Happy New Year!
Thank you Sir! You are a Godsend for those who have "life responsibilities" such as caring for elderly Parents. Through your Magic and Talent we can soar with the eagles and refresh ourselves with the exultations of the Great Outdoors!
Incredible, just incredible. I play this on my big screen TV and it feels like I'm there. The silence adds to the beauty. Awesome way to start the new year. Thanks.
Happy New Year Sim! That shot at the 16:43 mark with the rock and the blue band in the background--- Stunning! Seriously Slim, you could have a side business selling photographs, a calendar or postcards from some of your shots. So beautiful, and your music overlays are so well done!
I think Colorado's Black Canyon and New Mexico's Angel Peak owe you a debt of gratitude; you've become their official Travel Mascot for the New Year ! Happy New Year's Slim & Happy Travels into 2019 as we look forward to being inspired further by your travel adventure narrative ~ !
You just walked all around where I grew up. Coming up 550, we always knew we were almost home when we saw Angel Peak. If you ever go back, I can point you to some more great (and hidden) camping spots. I then moved to the West Mesa of Colorado and tried to enjoy my time at Black Canyon. A good friend’s mother lives in Gunnison and took me to see Black Canyon. We parked near the edge where you filmed and I relived the anxiety when you stood at the ledge downhill a bit at the edge. Knowing you did not fall (as this video was published) I breathed a sigh of relief when you started filming away from that spot. Whew!
So glad I stumbled onto your site. You sir, certainly have a knack for the right music as well as subject matter. Well done and thanks for taking us along.
This video brought tears to my eyes. Such beauty in our country. Thank you for all your effort & time you put into your productions. Works of art. Wishing you & your family a most wonderful 2019.
Just beautiful! I did get a bit dizzy as you approached the edge of the cliffs....I would never have seen those views,my self. I always know you will have either good scenery or good tips in your video. I'm hoping you continue for a long time! Happy New Year!
We (me and my husband) just discovered your videos, Slim. So happy to subscribe to your channel. Amazing videos, deep interesting thoughts, truly real life. Thank you so much for all you share with us.
WOW!!!! I'd take those canyon adventures to GC any day of the week. Spectacular! You selections of music were perfect for each section of the vid. Great camera work and editing. Thanks.
Started my morning with your video and some coffee. Your cinematography and narratives surpass many. Thanks for taking the time to do such beautiful work.
I just saw this video around 2:00pm, so I watched with a lovely IPA. ;-)
Can't get enough of your videos Slim.
They are always amazing and put me in a great mood.
Take care.
WOW! what Beauty!..... Took My Breath away..... Ok, just stick the camera out there, standing on the edge Freaked me out!.... Thanks Slim for taking us along...... WOW! Your Videos are just Amazing!..... Happy New Year....

I love ur videos Be safe out there. God bless u.
WORDS CAN'T SAY ENOUGH OF HOW MUCH I ENJOY ALL THE GLORY OF GODS CREATION THAT YOU SHARE
wow! 32k subs.....a true testament to your talents. Thanks Slim for taking us along.
The imagery and music at 15:00 is very special, striking a strong chord. Thank you for this.
Incredibly beautiful. Almost brought me to tears. Thanks for sharing.
That shot at 15:30 was breathtaking! Thank you Slim for sharing it with us.
I used to live at Montrose and went to the Black Canyon about 3-4 times a week. I love to sit on the rim and listen to the roar of the water as it echoes through out the whole canyon. I truly miss it. Loved your video. Thanks for sharing

Not a nomad, a traveller. I do appreciate your kind words though. Thanks! SP
Nothing more beautiful than western north America and you bring it to us so well!
Love the Black Canyon, been there a few times. My kids still talk about the time a deer 'threw` rocks on the roof of our car. Can't wait to see where you take us all on the next video adventure!
I always enjoy learning about these lesser-known camping spots! It's very helpful in planning our own trips and getting a feel for these places.
Some of your videos touch that sensitive part of my soul quite deeply.
Thank you.
I can not tell you in words how much I enjoy your videos. We visited the Black Canyon many years ago. It is truly beautiful. I had hoped to visit that area again in my little converted minivan camper. Still hopeful. Thank you for bringing back those good memories.
Hi Joyce, good to hear I brought back your fond memories. I hope you will again enjoy the wilderness in your camper soon! SP
Your poetic narativs are just beautiful along with gorgeous scenery. Thanks!
Made my knees weak! And I'm sitting in a Lazyboy in Tennessee!!! Love your travel vids...BEAUTIFUL!...thanks so much! Happy 2019!
Dam man! Yes, heights do scare the hell out of me and even in a good picture like U have within here just is too much to look at. U do excellent photography work and I so enjoy your videos. For me, I would be staying closer to my trailer and enjoy what I could see from there.

PS. I came back to make sure I saved this. Definitely want to visit. Thanks
Digging your videos. Nothing like a good breath of the open world around us to lift the soul out of this cosmic swamp we now call life.
WOW! What a hike! Thanks for taking us with you Slim!
WoW .. words fail me at the sight of such beauty. Thank you for sharing 💕
Great video...Happy New Year!
I have been binge watching all of your videos and can't get enough! I feel like I have been around the world with ya slim! Can't thank you enough my friend!
This. This is what I want my life to be like. Thank you very much, Slim. Always love seeing the world through your eyes.
Come back to this video time and time again , your best so far Slim, great video clips and music tracks 👍

Beautiful. Lucky us that SPH took his camera along again and again........Happy New Year!
My compliments on your video photography. Black Canyon and Angel Peak were/still are Im sure, fantastic. Congrats once again
I was in the area for the first time last July. Camped at Curecanti NRA
. Spectacular. Happy New Year, Slim.
We call bushes scraping the sides of the van, pinstriping. Shows you don’t just stick to the highways.😁
Some call that Oklahoma pinstriping, lol.
Slim, your travel/adventure videos are simply great! Have a happy, healthy, fulfilling 2019 with all the freedom you desire from those annoying crowds!
Gorgeous scenery and loved the background music.
good erie music for the deep, deep canyon. and i was afraid for you as you were on the edge filming it for us. and then angel peak? let's just say i'm happy you have a good sense of balance. but i really, really enjoyed the scenery. you are wonderful w/ the camera! i have a ford freestyle which would be a good car to pull one of those aframes. every now & then i shop around for one. just can't afford it yet, but it would be so cool to travel to some of those places in comfort. you must be having a wonderful time! thank you for sharing.
ALine has really done some nice things with the little trailer space. Their full service models have a nice shower and an easy living space for one.
You must have been a MOUNTAIN GOAT in a previous life! These videos made my heart beat faster as I am VERY afraid of heights! Beautiful footage...thanks!
Wow! Beautiful scenery and wonderful story telling. Thank-you Slim.
Angel Peak with the sunset... WOW.
Thanks for the video SP. You're right, the sunset really brought out the colors. As always I enjoyed the scenery and adventure. Looking forward to more. -Chris
As a fellow Calgarian, traveler and television broadcast tech.. I have really enjoyed your videos. I'm preparing my new travel van for adventures. Plan to hit the road late spring. Keep up the great work.. you are an inspiration. See ya on the road...
Those 2 campsites are beautiful. And your videos were great. Thanks for sharing.

What a great way to bring in the New Year! Your eye for nature is breathtaking, or was that me holding my breath as you stood on the edge? Seriously, you are a kindred spirit and you feed my need for nature while I am unable to go at the moment, thank you and Happy New Year!
@Ashurii Me, too.
We need to do a GoFundMe campaign to get this man a drone.
Your finest work...IMO! I have followed and enjoyed you and your adventures for some time. This by far is some tremendous videography of nature and our gorgous country! And your commentary is second to none. Thank you for the effort you put in to bring it to us!!!

Thanks for sharing Slim, we live in a beautiful country! Happy New Year!
Absolutely , always enjoy your camping life. Thank you, Slim. Happy new year.
Not everyone can go into areas you go in, and probably don't want to scratch up their rigs either. Beautiful footage, thanks for sharing!
Incredible, just incredible. I play this on my big screen TV and it feels like I'm there. The silence adds to the beauty. Awesome way to start the new year. Thanks.
One word...stunning. Just a gorgeous place. Well done filmography.
i enjoy the blend in your videos, scenic views, helpful information, and a small amount of jocularity.
Happy New Year Sim! That shot at the 16:43 mark with the rock and the blue band in the background--- Stunning! Seriously Slim, you could have a side business selling photographs, a calendar or postcards from some of your shots. So beautiful, and your music overlays are so well done!
A wonderful start for 2019! Thank you for posting and wishing you a Happy New Year!
your video has been one of the best starts to a new year that I can remember in the 50 I've had, thanks, and happy new year
Stunning views. . Thxs for taking me along✌
Beautiful video as always! You are VERY brave to hike those peaks! Thanks for sharing them with us!
I think Colorado's Black Canyon and New Mexico's Angel Peak owe you a debt of gratitude; you've become their official Travel Mascot for the New Year !
Happy New Year's Slim & Happy Travels into 2019 as we look forward to being inspired further by your travel adventure narrative ~ !
This video is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your travels with us.
Well done Slim. Enjoyed every minute of it. Can't wait for your next one.

Your videos are every bit as entertaining as any mega production on TV. I can't believe you don't have a million subscribers.
This video brought tears to my eyes. Such beauty in our country.
Thank you for all your effort & time you put into your productions. Works of art.
Wishing you & your family a most wonderful 2019.
Beautiful Slim, You've knocked us out on this one.
I appreciated your videos being so well done were the apparent content being well thought out cohesive and many times with a story being told as well!
Another amazing edition, Slim!! That scenery..Wow!
Just beautiful! I did get a bit dizzy as you approached the edge of the cliffs....I would never have seen those views,my self. I always know you will have either good scenery or good tips in your video. I'm hoping you continue for a long time! Happy New Year!
A great video. The nature is so beautiful. Have a great new year. Greetings from Switzerland.
We (me and my husband) just discovered your videos, Slim. So happy to subscribe to your channel. Amazing videos, deep interesting thoughts, truly real life. Thank you so much for all you share with us.
Thank you, it's so beautiful. I sure miss NM. that beautiful blue open sky! dreamy
Great footage and editing! Thanks for posting!
I enjoy every video you post. Please keep them coming.
The scenic views are timeless! Happy New Year Slim.
WOW!!!! I'd take those canyon adventures to GC any day of the week. Spectacular! You selections of music were perfect for each section of the vid. Great camera work and editing. Thanks.
Slim, that's an amazingly great way to show us how deep the canyon is. Wow!
Wow Slim, especially loved the musical scores throughout. So well matched to image. Love your aesthetic.
I have stayed at Angel Peak a couple of times this past year. The sunsets there are breath taking. Great video.
Stunning! And sunset was very moving! Thank you
Happy New Year, Mr. Slim!!!
Once again , you never disappoint !!!
