- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Kick off your shoes, grab a beverage, and relax for 20 minutes. This is a very peaceful video on one of the most low-key places in Tennessee, Jacobs Creek Campground. I took my kayak off the roof and put the noise of highways and cities out of my mind. Paddle On! Filmed in May 2023.

NOTE FROM SLIM: From the video description: "Filmed in May 2023". Thanks!
I was fanna say nice new jeep 😄
I was about to ask if you traded your truck 👍
we been waiting for this one for a long time.
U need a pickle with that sandwich thank you for the pictures and the views 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for wonderful review of Tennessee! I love our state ❤
I’m saving this one in my “ mental relaxation” file …. Oh the sound of the paddles!
An unexpected gem from 2023. Most enjoyable.
As Ratty said to the Mole, Slim: "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
The best days are when you put out a new video. No matter what you do. Camping or cabin. You are such a remakable human. So soft and caring for nature and funny. Just wanted you to know. Never change.
I feel the same!
We do bot care about the date/time when the video was filmed, an upload from Slim is an upload that is always welcomed. Period.
So peaceful and beautiful. The time lapse of the moon and the stars was breathtaking...and I love hearing just the sound of the water and the birds. What a great camp spot. Thank you SP for such a beautiful video.
You are my favorite youtuber! Excellent photography, storytelling and knowledge of the park and area around it. Always look forward to viewing your latest adventure, product reviews, your interesting culinary choices or your DIY projects. Your honest approach to life and everything you do is very admirable. Thank you for including us, your UA-cam watching friends.
What they said! ⬆️
Thank you for a perfectly timed video. My wife and I are grieving the loss of an old and deeply beloved pet, and your videos have always cheered us up, this one appearing only hours after our loss. Also, as Tennesseans, this video is doubly effective at a particularly difficult time. Again, thank you, and we hope you continue for years to come.
😢 Sorry for your loss.
I empathize with your sentiments, and am sorry for the loss of your "baby." Slim has a way of soothing my wife and I, as well. I dabble in video production, and I'm digging Slim's production style, and his persona. Again, sorry for your loss, and we 2nd your comment.
@@lynnef3297 Thank you 🐶
@@kenmarvin370 Our little yorkie girl Hazel was indeed our baby, Thank you.
Sorry for your loss brother…
Nice to see the Liberty again. Had to double check to make sure it was a newly released video :)
Good fun video! Love Tennessee. Haven't been there a lot,but will change that soon thanks to you.
Patti Page singing "Tennessee Waltz" & "Rocky Top" are songs I think of when I think of Tennessee.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Another beautiful, peaceful travel video with Slim! Thanks for the relaxing view of wild places in Tennessee!
I love Tennessee..My home for years ,,😊😊😊 we welcome you
I think it's awesome that, having confessed a fear of the water in the past, you now speak so glowingly of the chance to bring your kayak and spend time on the water.
Me either, I cannot swim but it's 20 years I'm kayaking on lakes and calm rivers. Always with the jacket and the safety equipment. It's so relaxing, also in our crowded lakes in North Italy. Ciao!
Being on the water looks so calming 😊
I live in East Tn and would never leave it! So calm and relaxing! Great visuals.....feels like I am right there!
When I hear Tennessee, I think Trae Crowder.
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Another great video, Slim. The kayak is worth bringing along, even for occasional use. Enjoyed the ride with you. Thanks for sharing.
Agreed, love going to TN, very nice spot you found there.
That's why we chose Tennessee to move to in 2026! We loved Cumberland Mountain and David Crockett State Parks. Until then we are traveling the US and Canada full-time in our RV! We're now in NH and our campsite has a 270 degree view of the White Mountains! Next comes Bar Harbor, ME and down the east coast to Floriday before heading back up to Banff, the Yukon and Alaska, then down the west coast. Thanks and be safe out there!
Jacobs Creek truly is a peaceful place! Thank you! The time lapsed vision of the moon was awesome! Who knew you had this past video up your sleeve!💗
Nice time lapse!
I just love your travel videos so thank you from Australia for the effort you make to bring such peace and tranquility.
Beautiful video and it’s from your 2023 trip just indicates the amazing amount of fabulous video you shoot
Great looking campground ❤
I grew up in the Chattanooga area. Love the area and its natural resources.
Thank you so much for this video again. Needed the tranquility so much. And you telling the story is so peaceful
I'm glad you mentioned this was 2023, i was "where's the Silverado? What did I miss?" LOL
Beautiful!!!
great stuff Slim thanks
Not slate. I believe it’s shale. Anyway, love this very relaxing video…THANX SLIM!!!
Thank Slim it was a hot day here and look good 👍
Land Between the Lakes and The Natchez Trace are must visit.
Mamimals lol that sure looks like a Relaxing time. As usual beautiful videography and narration , day made
Wow, what a campsite!!
Beautiful, thanks. Have an awesome weekend
As a Tennessee resident, I can say I am glad you enjoyed our tranquil waters.
Would definitely love to visit that campsite for sure 👍
Your the greatest Thing since sliced bread, I love ur vedeos Joe from mi...missouri
Thanks Slim I love it there so beautiful
Super job on the Timelapse of the lake.
Love the moon and Venus time lapse!
You were about an hour from my place. I’m glad you enjoyed the area.
This was a great find in your video archive!
I'm glad to see you doing more camping videos again. Even if it's an older video.
This is a beautiful place!
Amazing site !
My wife and I loved camping there...awesome
yep that was just supremely relaxing....continued safe travels...
Lots of tranquil beauty here in Tennessee, and nice folks, too. 😊
Idyllic. I think this is my favorite video of yours so far, Slim. The sunset and moon/Venus timelapse was stunning. And the lovely footage from the kayak with that footage of just the reflections on the water was so relaxing. Very nice videography.
So peaceful slim!❤❤❤
NICE
Never have you smiled as much as when you broke away from shore paddlin
Brilliant comments about the kayak, Slim!
Very relaxing and beautiful, Slim…thanks!
Yay for no bugs!
Excellent time lapse of the moon!
The quiet. Gorgeous
very nice video, calm times on the water. Sounds like a great camp site, sure can't beat the price. We all met in Tenn. for a family reunion, several years ago. It was a central location since we were all coming from different states; FL., GA., MI. We were in Sevierville, Tennessee. We rented a house with plenty of bedrooms. It's in between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, so there was lots to do in any direction. Looks like it's an hour and 30 min. from where you were. That area is very pretty and was a great time.
so THAT'S how you carry heavy water bottles when filled... I am 71 yo and learned another new trick today....thanks, Slim.... and putting this campsite on my list...and I have a folding 26# kayak that I will def use here....
Thanks Slim that was tranquil👍
That was a beautiful campsite! I sure enjoyed watching you paddle the kayak down the inlet. I've gone tubing in Idaho on the Couer d' Alene River and it was fun until I almost fell off hitting a fallen tree!
Tranquil describes it well.
Thank you for this serene, beautiful trip. I am in Florida and with all the crazy going on in the US now, I really needed this. Thanks!
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in my home state. I also recommend southern middle Tennessee.
Twelve dollars. That's outstanding, an absolute bargain!
We love Tennessee visit often it’s a beautiful state . Thx for showing us other places there .😊
That was incredible. The lake shots during & after sunset were surreal. The kayaking was immersive.
Seeing the slate got my curiosity up as to the geology of that area. There were indeed slate roofing quarries and supply providers in Eastern Tennessee dating back into the late 1800s. You were in the right location to find it in those sedimentary stone layers.
We call that rock shale here in Tennessee. As much as I travel around myself there’s no place like my home state of Tennessee. There are lots of special places you can find without hardly trying. There’s been times I have not gotten my kayak off the roof and gone Id guess at least 2000 miles. But when I can get in the water it certainly is worth it. Heading east to the cool mountains soon 👍💕✌️
Love the beautiful scenery
One of your best Slim. We enjoyed it very much.
I was confused at first, but I am glad to see the old footage. Keep editing and uploading, Slim!
So wonderful to see you in my home state. I have always enjoyed your videos and this one was very special. You are always welcome in the Great State of Tennessee! ❤️
Them Moon following Venus was a perfect shot.
Wow, gorgeous! Thanks for sharing Slim. Saved to my favorite places to camp.
Looks like you had your own private lake! Thanks for sharing, Slim.
With a view like that, being right on the water and able to kayak from your site, you really can't ask for more. That's a beautiful campsite Slim. At the 9:37 mark, Fire Pink is the stunning wildflower in that shot. Hope you have some more videos tucked away for us from prior travels. Thanks for sharing and hope you are well.
You make me want to kayak! Thanks for the video.
We love Tennessee ❤️
Glad you’re getting some posts out there. A day without Slim is like a day without, er, Slim!
Cheers from VA! I just got back from five week 13k mile trek to Southern California, north to Alaska, thence returned across the prairie provinces. I’ve now hit all 50 US states and all Canadian provinces. Keep ‘em rolling!
Throughly enjoyed your adventure. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊❤
Nice video, Inoticed when you were backing into your campsite you had your Jeep. So I knew this was an older video. Looks like a very calm place.
Gorgeous! And the price with good old-fashioned payment! Hallelujah! 😊
Love it as usual. I'll admit, it took me a few minutes to realize it was older. I noticed the Jeep and said, Hey, what's up. I like how you are going back and forth from camping to cabin. Keep them coming!!
Another great video. Glad you back tracked to release it. I also canoe during the summers in Ohio and we are very fortunate to have great waterways to enjoy.
Slim ,
Great video I enjoyed very much .
Hope your trip goes well for you.👍
Jim
Spoiler Alert! My trailer broke in half a month later: ua-cam.com/video/Yg55GXksEnY/v-deo.html
What a beautiful place. Another great find, well done.
I live in Tennessee and it’s beautiful here.
I love kayaking! Several years ago I finally bought an SUV with roof racks, and two kayaks shortly after to fulfill my dream of going places to be on the water. And soon my partner got sick. Kayaks went to my coworker after few years of resting in the garage… Use any opportunity before it is too late!
Just a wonderful video .... Another wonderful video ♥️
thanks again Slim !
This video was an unexpected treat this time of year; thank you!
Love this I camp out there all the time as I live in Bristol.
You got the jeep back. Lol
That's why whisky's so good there 👍. Probably one of the best places.
Really enjoyed the tranquility of Jacob's Creek Camping ground, Tennessee. 👍
