Where's Slim Potatohead? Traveling! Road Trip Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Yes, I'm out again on an extended travel trip, first stop somewhere familiar, next onto uncharted territory. But before leaving I needed to modify my camper stabilizers with a DIY hack. Off to pursue happiness, and a little green slime!
My apologies for the atrocious sound during driving. I was relying on new filters instead of a lavalier mic, which was a bad choice!

I wanna be like Slim when I grow up!
Me too! 😊
You mean when you grow old?😂
@@virksaab9454 That's one of those things you can debate.
Don't we all
Me and my partner are certainly working on it we even have a trillium.
Thumbs up before watching it
Me too....xx n
i think the youtube algorithm weighs thumbs up deeper into or at the end of videos more.
@@folonrng That's never proven
"At least the trailer is stable, I don't know about me" -Slim 🤣😂🤣
You make me very happy! Educating people about ticks. Lyme disease is a very real thing. About 500,000 people come down with Lyme disease each year. I was infected at my job which was walking through the woods surveying. I am now totally disabled .
Not being sure where you're going, but just going. Best feeling in the world.
Glad to see you are out and about, Slim. I look forward to more of your excellent videos! ♥️🙏🏼🐾🙏🏼♥️
I am a amazed how you learn so quickly to fix things. That is a sign of intelligence to me.😊
I love the white mountains
Glad to see ya slim, safe travels!
It's always good to see you in the woods, Slim. And thanks for the shout out for the pollinators!
nice to see you again
Good to see ya, Slim! 😊
I like the kayak , it is amazing activity and nice addition to your adventure
Slim- enjoy your journey and be safe!
Had the same issue with the now short stabilizers on my now 4" lifted Chalet A-frame. My simple solution was a trip to Wal Mart. Picked up four 6" hard plastic furniture risers for a few bucks. They nest together when not in use and work perfectly on the round feet of the stabilizers. Glad to see you back out on the road.
There you are! I missed you!
Have a good time Slim! BTY: What's for dinner ? Always enjoy seeing what concoction you come up with. Take car and drive safe.
I like your videos, the variety of topics and solutions. I wish you a long and healthy life. Here are 3 suggestions for a long and healthy life. 1. Always wash the top of your beer cans with non stream and non lake water. 2. Only buy food containing ingrediences with less than 1 square inch. 3. View and incorporate healthy food and supplement videos.
Slim glad to see you out! Please come to the beautiful Hocking Hills in Ohio, part of the foothills of the Appalachians. You won’t be disappointed!
Thanks for sharing your adventure, I hope it is a good one.
I have those Atwood stabilizers, too. One trick I learned for getting them snug- when setting up, jack the nose down about a half bubble on the level, set the stabilizers, the raise the nose to level. Snug.
You are so innovative. You inspire me to think outside the box.
Props on the stabilizer extension! Brilliant, Slim!
👊😎
I hope you have a great time, Slim. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
I love your little camper. Always appreciate your tips. I must say I think you have a good narrator's voice. Lovely area where you were camping. Bless.
Looks like a beautiful campsite Slim, nice to see you out and about.
Road traveling is so exilerating and fun! Did a few runs and happy to be watching from my home. Making a place for nomads to park when in Mo.
Been checking then and now, thinking you were travelling, and nice to suddenly find a new video!
Lovely spring views! As soon as I saw that water between the grass, my mind said "tadpoles"🤓
I like your open air travel style.
Happiness is..traveling down the road.
May sunny skies and safe adventures rise up and meet you.
Happy travels. Thank you for taking us along.
Thanks for the traveling memories. As a former Eco-Tourism operator I traveled extensively throughout North America. I am now letting the sun set on me in the Philippines and love your content Slim. Brings back so many memories, but one I don't need is the Black Flies memory. 😜
I always enjoy your content Slim. Thank you.
Heading down the Highway.....Excellent!
Great video as always. That's a great fix on the stabilizers. You're such a handy guy. Good of you to share with others. Beautiful campgrounds. I definitely agree on the charge to reserve. Plus what gets me is the $7 a night for electric, doesn't matter the size of the rig, or how many ppl. They get you coming and going. Maybe salamanders. Looking forward to your next adventure.🙂👍
Another Slim masterpiece, always the inventor.
You’re right with regard to making an opinion, only having been somewhere once. I imagine Summer and Autumn are just as beautiful, it would be nice to see all seasons 🌈
I strongly dislike having to book everything on line and what’s up with that $6.50 fee! Robbery !! Your video was outstanding as usual. I love spring exploring, you can really see the lay of the land! Hope you come and explore Wisconsin!
Slim, you are the best. I sure enjoy your shows. They are wonderful the outdoors and not having all the big fancy equipment that's the way I like.
Love your narration and expression along your adventures
Thanks for taking us along Slim. Safe travels to you!
This makes me anxious to get camping!😊
Glad to see you again! We are from Pa. And can camp again.
Best of luck on your new adventure, Slim. Looking forward to the next episode.
Love ya baby 😎❤️. Seriously though I love your channel. I’ve been watching for some time now. Take care out there. Love following along
great to see you back in the states!
Hope you make it to NC this trip. It is a glorious time of year with all the azaleas, dogwoods and rhododendrons in bloom. Depending where in the state you are. Starts in the east and moves west with time.
Don’t need a kayak to feel the pain at the gas pump these days. Safe travels!!
Sorry your visit to Pennsylvania was not to your liking due to fees. We take great pride in our parks and forests. We believe we where cheaper than any state for camping, but obviously we have work to do. I'd like to invite you back to regain some of our lost luster in your eyes. Thanks for visiting.

Yeah 4u, Slim. Love u, love your videos. Anne-Maree Australia
Hi Slim, welcome to PA! I love our state parks and campgrounds but agree with you about the rules and regs. Campgrounds with facilities cost more, but I can take the senior discount, which most of the time cancels out the $6.50 reservation fee.
I travel by bicycle and the new reservation systems are a real pain. I pretty much have to call in when I get to a camping area because I can't absolutely predict that I will get there. Anything from strong head winds to road closures to flat tires and I'm off any schedule. At state parks there will usually be a twenty four hour place I can call. County parks have to be called during business hours. Here in MN, if I arrive under my own power, I generally a spot available at a state park if I meet certain times and conditions. I cycled the north shore circle route from Thunder Bay Ontario to Sault ste. Marie last june 2022. On the MN north shore section, it was Memorial Day weekend. I could have shown up at the campgrounds and been allowed to stay one night. However, the weather was really, cold, rainy and windy so people were canceling their weekend plans. The lousy weather saved my vacation!
Thank you!!
Your in my State welcome hope you enjoy and safe travels.
Fablous very well done video. Very enjoyable and relaxing to watch.
Great video, as always! Really LOVE watching your travels and getting your honest reviews. Take care, Slim!
Slim I really enjoyed your video. My friend and I just got our July camping trip trip reservations setup this week at Selkirk camp ground near Winnepeg Manitoba. I really enjoy your videos Slim. Tim H
Slim you are one cool dude! Greetings from FL!😎🇺🇸🇨🇦
Have fun on your adventures Slim. Keep the good stuff coming.
Good to see you, and thank you for the reminder about ticks. Not a lot of them in Arizona but they do exist.
😊Thanks for your video!
Info on ticks. The don't go down. Get a tick on your finger. Let it start to crawl. Turn you hand upside down and watch what happens. It's not a fashion statement, but tuck your pants into your socks. Your top into your pants. Now you only have to focus on arms and neck with bug spray.
Have a wonderful time! I enjoyed the video.
Come to Northern Michigan. Make sure you go above Lansing. I live here. It's beautiful ❤
Thanks for the mention, safe travels! Kevin and Sue in the red minivan!
Hey Guys! Great talking to you. Best of luck with your Newfoundland trip! SP
Welcome back to NH! Going to check it out!
Nice campsite good job.
I always enjoy your videos ❤. I kept checking for an upload in case I missed it. Worth the wait.
I have lived on the Eastern US (a few hours from the coast so I stopped saying East Coast) for decades now and am familiar with the staging of seasonal changes as you move higher in altitude and in latitude. The redbud was in its hay day just a couple of weeks ago and I was surprised (shouldn’t have been) to see Northern New Hampshire still in the infancy of this spring. Was it because I am in the smokies? Well, sure but not really. I realized, because I was surprised by my surprise, that I drive up to Vermont and New Hampshire each spring. Driving, I pass through the changes as I go so that I am mentally at the correct stage when I arrive. Your photography is so good that details didn’t escape and it was clear that thing were quite a few stages behind me. Well…DUH! As Homer Simpson and my then teenage daughter would say. My father was a machinist and when things would break or operated suboptimally then dad would fix or make something that would take the entire tool and advance its capabilities and ease of use. When I was putting hand controls on my (now late) husband’s truck, one of the bars was short and unstable. I was going to have to take it to a machinist and that was going to be expensive. It wasn’t!!! I might have cost me $30 but because of the nature of the device, they wouldn’t take money for it. Now, you have it resolved and you know better than anyone how well it will hold against gravity, should you ever park on a slope. I don’t ever see that happening but tossing out theoretical anyway. If you have to beef it up, talk to a machinist. He will make an extension out of very strong metal that will be welded on and hold for the life of the stabilizer. Just an FYI. Or something
😊LOVE TRAVELING WITH YOU SLIM I ALWAYS FEEL SAFE AND PLENTY OF LAUGHS
I love to see your life in Canada, you are truly blessed Mr Slim - Please keep up making really interesting videos - lots of Love from British Expats in Spain - until the next one take care!
I🙏’ve never seen that type of egg nest. Thank you!👍🏻
Hi Slim nice seeing you again, great view, glad you got everything fixed on your camper, looking forward for your next video stay blessed
Happy you are doing what you love. Becoming one with nature. Good for you. Enjoy..
that is the one thing I did not like about traveling in the east from about Kansas east is the black flies. My rig changed color while driving back there. I don't know if I will ever go back again to the eastern part of the USA, my promise to the eastern states
Peagreen jealous...YOUR FREEDOM!!!! HAVE FUN N STAY SAFE. You Sir are one the most STABLE humans know of
Welcome to Pennsylvania, its a beautiful state. I live in the Pocono and love it.
wow loved the varmints in the gel like fluid.. I've had tadpoles on my pool cover years ago when I used to cover the pool for winter...water would collect on top of the cover over the winter, then frogs in the spring sooo loud at night I actually had to go out and tell them to hush sometimes, then eggs, then tadpoles, then baby frogs, and birds feasting on the tadpoles b4 frogs sprouted.. a real eco system right in my own back yard...your babies looked more like salamanders to me... thanks for the new vid... safe travels
Not a bad channel you got here Slim! Not bad at all. God's earth can be beautiful, so thank you for exploring it for the peeps that cant afford it. :) ~ Vancouver BC ~ Chinada.
Enjoy thats a good site been there twice. My favorite site there is #8
wonderful.
I have watch you for years and now you're in my backyard. Have a safe adventure.
Need to try this one. Looks fun.
You may not still be there but the basin In Franconia Notch is beautiful right now. And free
Awesome, great to see you on the road 😎
great stuff thanks
Davy's on the road again 🎶 wearin' different clothes again 🎵👍😁.
Manfred man.
Enjoy Slim👍
Nice choice on nylock nuts for the extension pieces, I’d imagine nothing would make your day a bit less enjoyable than losing an extension leg somewhere on the highway! :)
Awesome as always . Thanks for sharing and taking us along
The Tinker King of tinkering
You know when you talked about washer fluid frozen up. You can add a small bottle of gas line antifreeze to your resovour and that really helps
love ya MAN!!! tim from florida!
Come to Northern Nevada before it gets HOT! The wild flowers are beautiful, the wild horses are plentiful along Highway 50, which runs east to west across the US. Lake Tahoe and the Sierra’s are just west of here. Lovely!
Thanks for the vid Slim.. I saved it for Friday after work to help start the weekend..
Welcome to my home state! The 6.50 charge drives us nuts as well but it's forgotten when you're sitting outside your Aliner in an awesome campsite. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Nice to see you staying in the right hand lane on the interstate Slim 👍
Great video.
Watching from the Philippines.
Glad to see you stopped in my neck of the woods in NE PA. Hope you enjoyed your time here!
Have a great week! (Kansas)❤
Missed your videos...glad your back on the road 😅
Oh WoW you’re in Pennsylvania.. I live in Pennsylvania. Mauch Chunk Lake is nice, Carbon County PA. Get campsite 117.. it’s the best site, you’ll be very very close to the lake and can put your kayak in. You will truly love it. I do. At this time of year you might be able to get that spot. Cheers. I do have a video of it. I haven’t done anything with my utube channel but looking to change the name. 117 😉 I haven’t had a problem with mosquitoes all the times I went to Mauch Chunk… and I’ve been told they spray the area. ✌️
