    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 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.

    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

  • @nicholascasaletto3581
    @nicholascasaletto3581 6 років тому

    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!

    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.

    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 😊

    • @SlimPotatohead
      @SlimPotatohead  6 років тому +1

      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.

    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.

  • @generybarczyk6993
    @generybarczyk6993 6 років тому +2

    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._

    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!
