  • My first camping trip to New Brunswick Canada was to Fundy National Park. A diverse biosphere, there's lots to explore here from the world's largest tides to the thick lush forests and cascading water falls.

    You Slim are an amazing story teller and video creator.
    So few UA-cam creators slow down enough to really immerse the viewers into the essence of the place.
    Love the time lapse of tide & beach fog.
    Thank you, as always, for allowing me to travel with you via video. It soothes this disabled, housebound, nature lovers soul. 🍁🇨🇦 🕊

    Greetings from Alberta. We stayed at Fundy Nat'l Park in May 2017. The campground was closed, but they had 6 or 7 sites open for early season travelers like us. Enjoyed a great seafood meal in Alma. It's short walk from the campground. Get out your sou'wester, slicker and rubber boots and enjoy your east coast explorations. We certainly enjoyed ours.

    Slim, your camera work here, as always, is exceptional!!!
    All the hard work in the red bridge entrance has not gone unnoticed. I see it took 3 or 4 angles to get you driving across the main attraction, the bridge.
    The waterfall was beautiful and at 1/4 speed, that was cool.
    You're really out-doing yourself.
    You're storytelling is exceptional as well. I love camping with you -all without leaving my cabin.

    Slim, believe it or not but you are in the heart of Sasquatch country. When the big guy shows himself run like hell as fast as you can. Be aware, he is much faster than you so he may make it to your camper before you. If he's standing there to greet you run like hell the other direction and make a game out of it. If that doesn't work offer him food, they love free food.

    So clever regarding the camera under that umbrella. Here another idea you can do to the umbrella. Get another one. Keep the camera rod in place. Cover the full bottom of the umbrella with reflective, aluminum tape, then put a pot stand, or a stove grate to the camera rod. Make sure the camera rod is stainless steel. Now you have a homemade solar cooker. :) Just need some legs for the other side of the umbrella. :) All you need is the sun for fuel! Face the umbrella for the sun for high heat! For low heat face the shade. The umbrella needs to have a tilt to make this work. :) No smoke, soot, or flames blowing out of hand with the wind. Plus a solar stove can be used in fire bans. Just don't put a piece of wood, or paper by the solar reflective part. It can smoke and burst into flames in minutes, or even seconds. solsource solar stove. The umbrella will mimic a mini version of the solsource solar stove. Just wanted to share this. If you travel to hot spots like Arizona, this will be handy!
