I just love Slim's soothing voice while narrating his great vlogs . I feel like I'm watching a National Geographic's TV program . I'd love to meet him real soon .
Dear Mr. Potatohead, Here in Northern Vermont the snow keeps falling, and my husband and I keep walking the same narrow paths through the snow in our yard. Cabin fever inside, and repetitive path shoveling outside, if you catch my drift.......Hah! THANK YOU for all the beautiful vistas, the close-ups of wildflowers, cactus, cool rock formations, interesting facts, but mostly we thank you for your sense of humor. Your cache of cool videos has gotten us through the past two months. Here's to more Slim Potatohead, can't wait for your next video!!
Slim you have found your calling. I have traveled over 2 million miles around N. America, mostly as a tour bus operator, but I did also bicycle across Canada in 88 and motorcycle around N. America early 80’s. You reignite a fire in me. You are popular in the Philippines, as an American expat and I discuss our UA-cam viewing, while early morning walking . You are also one of his favs...may your travels continue with the wind at your back...
So you live in the Philippines? Will you ever move back to America? I have an expat friend in Thailand and he loves it. I've visited him a few times over there.
Wonderful. That is how the border should be everywhere. That is the way it was everywhere when i was growing up. Walk across into Mexico and walk back later. No fuss no muss and no walls or fences.
I truck camped in the low lands and to get the insects out of the back of my camper, I set up my Coleman Lantern on it's 5 foot pole about 30 feet away. It drew the insects and that drew the bats for a feast. Spent half the night watching the great aerial show.
Another Great and Informative video. I don't know why you're not a multi award winning narrator , (perhaps you are?) I guess you must be too busy Living the dream to be tied to a studio. Any Production Company would be fortunate to have you on their payroll. Thanks for all the wonderful Videos Mr. Slim. As always , I can't wait for the next one.
@@tenminutetokyo2643 This is an inappropriate forum for you to air your grievances. Your comments say more about you than those against the object of your wrath.
I found Boquillas on my first trip to the park in 1978. No electric to the town then, just some individual generators. On my most recent trip last summer, I stopped at the Santa Elena overlook and my dog crossed the river to the Mexico. Fortunately, he listens well and came right back without causing an international incident. Thanks for all the adventures, Slim. Have fun!
The difficult part about primitive camping out there is that you can't reserve a spot by phone. You have to drive out there for a reservation, making it a rather useless perk. The best thing to do is to get there early or travel there in off-peak times. It's truly beautiful.
LOVED it!!... Been wanting to go there..... Now I am excited to go!.... Thanks Slim! You put some really hard work in your Video's and it is Amazing!.... Great job!
Awwww, I think that little tan chihuahua wanted to go with you. Thanks for getting off your ass....I'm sure the ass appreciated it. That's insane how much the weather changed, but like you said "surreal ". I just look forward to your videos so much; the beauty, the spectacular sights, the humor. Thanks so much for sharing.
What an amazing place!!!!! Especially wading into Mexico for lunch! The beautiful views, rocks, caverns, flowers are just breathtaking. Once again your photography and videography is exceptional. I wish your videos could be televised! Thanks for sharing with us, your most fortunate viewers!
Thanks a bunch Slim for another awesome video. I bet you crossed the Rio Grande more than twice for placing of the camera for your back & forth shots......also, nice inspiring chant. So much to appreciate, God bless you.
As a native Texan, Big Bend has always been my favorite place to camp. My father took me when I was a boy and now I take my kiddo. The Aliner has held it's own even on some rocky trails. Excellent video Slim!
You out did yourself with this gem. I love the way you always pick the right music to match your artistic images. The tour of places I have yet to travel is just the icing on the cake. Thanks for all your work!
I was in West Texas last week camping with my family at Fort Davis. I thought of you. I’m soooo glad you got to experience Big Bend. It is by far my favorite part of the world. It’s just magic. I’m sure you felt it.
Slim is the MAN! Look at this.... out of 1.6K views only 15 morons gave a thumbs down. You've got to know you're doing a hell of a lot right. One of my two favorite, relaxing, channels to watch. Bravo! Edited for poor contractions.
October 5, 2024 Maryland,, USA: I always love your puns but “get off your Ass” had me laughing out loud in an environment that others were in! I got it the donkey reference. Whoa, the weather changed so drastically and agree like being in a dream. The music and your narration just added more of class. The yellow flowers peeping out of the rocks show us how even though in a desert there is beauty. I think this whole experience was a Zen time in Big Ben. Watching you take a break at the end of the day and having your dinner is the perfect ending of the day. Thank you again. 😊
@@solent7430 The UK is so tiny compared to the USA. It takes about 8 hours to drive the entire length of the UK from north to south. Drive 8 hours here and you're only halfway across the state of Texas! lol
Like many of the others have stated...this has to be one of your best videos. You piece together a complete story of a unique experience replete with fantastic photography, outstanding vistas, an introduction to Big Bend, and a non-traditional visit Mexico without all of the controversy and ugliness that is going on today. You blended in with the people of the town of Boquillas de Carmen, enjoyed their hospitality, and presented them in a positive manner. I would never have known of the town of Boquillas without your video. Wading across the Rio Grande as you did conjured up images of reverse immigration. I had some trepidation of you walking among the rocks and caves in spring time due to rattlesnakes coming out of hibernation and you with those tennis shoes. But you addressed this by giving a tally of one snake and no scorpions. Your subtle humor was displayed with the comment of "getting off their Ass" and walking to the village. Well done. Also I hope that the message behind "No al Muro" did not elude too many viewers. This video is truly commercial grade. Well done and thank you. Big thumbs up.
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Very relaxing, but never boring. I take my hat off to you. You're doing what I'm sure the rest of us wish we could do. So, for now, I'll just have to enjoy the adventures through you. Thanks for sharing all these beautiful places with all of us. I wish you safe travels, good health and a long life. Enjoy it while you can. Thanks again.
quick somebody build a wall! i lived there for yrs and you never get tired of the scenery. i am surprised you never came across any rattlers. that town hasn't changed in 30 yrs.
Get off your “Ass”, good one 😁. You have such a wonderful talent for catching Mother Nature in her best mood and worst, for all her Beauty. Thank you for the tour!
I used to live in nearby Terlingua - you should take FM 170 through Lajitas and go to Presidio, the road is amazing ( check your brakes, first ). Take a day trip to Ojinaga also known as "The Pearl of the Desert." Then head north to Marfa on US 67. If you're still in the neighborhood.
You took me back to my childhood Slim. I was born in a town north from Big Bend. A small town, Ojinaga in the state of Chihuahua. Your crossing of the river really took me back, as kids we would go back and forth. Not to day... Thanks for the great trip back in time.
I AM SO GLAD YOU MADE IT TO BIG BEND!!! I was born not far from there but more east. I love, love, love this part of the world. It would take a lifetime (literally) to explore and know the whole of the area. I'm glad you got to experience God's Country. Hope the astronomy went well too.
I've had the good fortune, to ride North America on my motorcycles the last 15 years-solo because I prefer it that way. I've been to all the places you have traveled, but I can't get my expensive road motorcycles into the areas you can get your jeep, so I have to camp in main campgrounds of the parks. Thanks for giving me a peek at what I missed. This video of Big Bend is harking me back to see things I skipped on my visit in 2007. You seem to be stuck in the Southwest, I suggest coming East when the weather turns warm. The lush green hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley and the Smokies are a stark contrast to the sand, rocks, and dust of the Southwest. All beauty just in different ways. I edit my photos and video also so I know how much work this takes, I'd be embarrassed for you to see mine. You do a excellent job, and I enjoy visiting your channel. You supplied with some valuable tips for my upcoming ride to Joshua and Death Valley next month. Ride safe friend.
Shoot, we missed you Slim. We were in Big Bend early March. It stands out in my mind, I was so spiritually blessed by our time there camping in the Chisos mountain campground. Loved this video it took me back Thank you for all your work.
Again, your videos are such a joy! You have such a talent for composing the beautiful scenery and poetically narrating! They engulf me in relaxation as well as providing travel destination tips! As always, thanks for the lovely and informative videos, Slim!! :)
I'm pretty sure that Big Bend gets its name because it is the big bend in the Rio Grande River, and the Internet agrees with me. Good video as always. Keep the good stuff coming.
Once again Slim you have produced another awesome video of your travels. The scenery was beautiful and you made it at the perfect time of year to capture it on film, well done. I will put this on my list of places to visit, thanks
Slim, my family and I camped in that exact spot. We loved it. We full timed for 4 years (We still travel 3/4 time) Hands down the best and spacious site we've ever had. The hot spring was magical. We donated some of our kids clothes at the Rio Grande. Such an awesome place. definitely going back.
So many beautiful scenes. And of course, the average UA-camr gets to see twice as much, because you do everything twice, to get the shot and retrieve the camera. Your new shoes got a real workout!
I think this was my fav vid of yours to date, Mr. Slim! You had everything in it...the beauty of Big Bend, adventure to Mexico (complete with food!), time lapse of the gorgeous night skies and even a Buddhist chant! Wowza! You just keep getting better and better with chronicles of your travels. Thanks so much! Ps...can I caravan along behind you? I promise to stay far enough away not to encroach. You go to the BEST places!! :-)
Just beautiful! I guess I'm going to keep repeating myself because your videos just keep getting more beautiful all the time. I'm not sure what else to say other than when your videos come in, I get really happy and like another viewer said, your videos are like therapy!
My family went to Big Bend during the summer of 1967. The park was definitely not crowded at all. We drove to the same crossing that you visited. I don't remember any customs house or officials, but of course, you didn't need a passport to cross then. All I remember is a Mexican man and at least two young boys and a small herd of donkeys. They wanted charge us $5.00 each to ride their donkeys across the Rio Grande to Mexico. I can't believe that my dad -- a rather frugal man -- paid for us three children and my mom. He took the picture. We crossed over, got off the donkeys to say we were in Mexico, and rode back. I didn't even know there was a town over there until recently. Unfortunately, I haven't been back to Big Bend.
Love all your vids. You have a way with the camera and a way with telling the story, makes me want to visit all your discoveries myself. Amazing the contrast from one hot day to the next day's rare frosty landscape.
Thank you Slim for another wonderful video. You are a great storyteller, artist, photographer/videographer, and soundtrack creator. I especially enjoy your selection of music and the way you don’t let it overpower the music. Always a job well done.
I had a dream to do what you do, but your videos are so well done and off the beaten path, I feel like I've done it already due to your way of making us feel like we're there with you. Thanks for taking us on your adventures.
This was a very well filmed video. Big Bend Park, the little Mexican town and eerie morning back at the park. Then the little Buddhist chant gave us a little bit more information about you. Thank you.
Having watched all your videos, I've now doubled back to pick my faves. Never thought I'd could lean toward a spot in Texas, but this one is as good as travel vids get. Not that I don't look forward to even better ones as you further hone your craft.
I was born in Texas and have lived in Texas with the exception of two tours in Korea and I have not seen all that you have seen except through your travels. Thanks since I am now 80 and I do not see it in the stars to be doing any traveling.
That's Texas weather for you. Hang around 5 minutes and it'll change! Hope you had a great time in our fair state Mr. Slim and that you were treated well. Happy trails.
Great videos and pictures Slim. I've got a playlist of your videos I'm catching up on. You've shown me so much of America that I never considered traveling to.

Wow...I had never seen anything about Big Bend Park....the pics were great
I love that u waded across😊
Thanks for coming! I've lived in Texas all my life. Thanks for showing us Texans, Our Texas! I love your videos!

Absolutely beautiful and inspiring video. Thank you so much for sharing your travels!!!
Your material is so well laid out and smooth as butter. Just a pleasure to watch and thanks for sharing. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.
That shot of the yellow sunset, the frost , those yellow flowers and the weathered rock shots- magical! Gracias Senor Cabeza de patata delgada!
That looks like a nice place to visit. Not many National Parks that aren't crowded.
The difficult part about primitive camping out there is that you can't reserve a spot by phone. You have to drive out there for a reservation, making it a rather useless perk. The best thing to do is to get there early or travel there in off-peak times. It's truly beautiful.
You've made my week, Slim. You have no idea how much I look forward to your weekly Monday morning video
Nice job! Really demonstrated old adage "just wait a minute and the weather in Texas will change."
LOVED it!!... Been wanting to go there..... Now I am excited to go!.... Thanks Slim! You put some really hard work in your Video's and it is Amazing!.... Great job!
You must have found this park after some rains in spring bloom. Surprisingly beautiful.
Excellent video Slim!Love your videos very well narrated!Thank you
Brings back memories. It's been 18-20 years since I was at Big Bend. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! We couldn't believe the change overnight, truly wonderful. Thanks Slim

Very enjoyable views of a place I've never been to. Love all the close ups of flowers, rocks and other incidentals.
Nice video! I'll be in Boquillas in two days and in Big Bend NP for the week!
My favorite place on Earth
Thank you Slim for another wonderful video. You are a great storyteller, artist, photographer/videographer, and soundtrack creator. I especially enjoy your selection of music and the way you don’t let it overpower the music. Always a job well done.

Another good job slim,its nice to see a place where peace and solitude still exist.
When I was there 3 months ago, they said on a clear day you I can see 130 miles or so. Amazing views
Since there is jagged mountains on all the horizons, maybe the curvature is difficult to see?
This was a very well filmed video. Big Bend Park, the little Mexican town and eerie morning back at the park. Then the little Buddhist chant gave us a little bit more information about you. Thank you.

Inspired us to try Big Bend! Great videography; amazing weather transitions- when you said 0°, you meant Celsius, I am sure, but even so!!
Be careful. Once you go you’ll be drawn back. It’s a magic place. March is the perfect time to go. It gets HOT in the summer. Deadly hot.

Love your videos, especially this one. Can’t wait to try our new to us trailer. This is the first trip, and place that we are going to do.
Would like to know the time of the year that you were there. Please keep showing these fabulous places.
Great videos and pictures Slim. I've got a playlist of your videos I'm catching up on. You've shown me so much of America that I never considered traveling to.
Enjoyed Slim
