Canada's Eastern Frontier: Labrador. Slim's Atlantic Travels Pt 4

In my 4th Atlantic Travels video, I leave the island of Newfoundland to visit its mysterious sister to the north: Labrador. After a few ferry delays, I finally make it to a campsite and the adventure begins. Filmed in early September 2022.
Quality Note: Sorry, some of my low-light footage came out weird, as I was experimenting with a new camera. Do not adjust your set!

Slim, It is so refreshing to watch your videos, I am not watching someone trying to sell me something they got for free. There is no “Oh my God the worlds coming to an end” click bait, and I am not just watching someone make a video about nothing just to put out a video! Again thank you, always enjoy your content and how you deliver it.

[@peacefulwife5199]

Ohhh Slim....let me tell you something...I've had one heck of a day today. About 5 minutes before this video hit, I made a cup of tea. I clicked on your video and watched it. I am so incredibly relaxed right now....Thank you. Thank you for all you do.....here...have a cup. ☕️

[@edevos3108]

His videos really are very relaxing. When I'm stressed, it really helps to watch Slim.

[@looptheloopish]

I usually watch when I go to bed. A Slim video and several ounces of Wild Turkey helps me sleep.

[@buzzboykin9982]

Excellent series. The only problem with a Slim video is that they end! Thanks for the effort to take us along.

[@viajeroinsaciable]

Wow! I'm loving this Atlantic travels series. The landscapes are awesome. And btw I like the sound of rain in my rv at night too hehe

[@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893]

You're a man after my own heart Slim. We are forever picking up other peoples litter whilst out on a walk with Amber our german shepherd when we're away camping and at home for that matter.

[@r8edrv4fun65]

As usual, a great video, Slim. Thank you for allowing us to come along for the fun.

[@glyndamillnerphillips539]

Always a pleasant surprise seeing a new video has been posted. I usually save new one and watch it right before lights out. The videos seem to help me relax. I really do appreciate all the work you put into them. I do enjoy your cabin videos as well since I have gutted a older mobile home that I purchased last year. Mine has a lot more damage than I ever expected so your videos give me hope that one day mine will be livable. Thank you for making these videos 😃

Thank you for having us along. That looked like a tasty meal. I love the way you adapt to unforseen circumstances and make the best of them.

[@mrjack8849]

I really like watching your videos of it raining while you are in your RV. It has so hot and dry this summer in my part of the world. Hearing the rain is soothing and gets me through the days until we get rain again.

[@larzybernard9617]

My wife has a great noodle recipe that has peanut butter, wine vinegar, and ginger. Surprisingly good!

[@kayhamil23]

I simply enjoy your videos for everything it provides. Adventures, remodels, learning, and most of all living through you because I doubt I'll ever see all the things you've seen. Thanks for providing this content.

[@wendyrobertson3899]

Slim, you're such a great story teller and your video work is pretty awesome too. Love watching where you go and seeing all the things you get up to when you get there. Specially like the fly by the seat of your pants videos when you have zero research into the are you arrive at. Those seem to be the more fun videos, lol. Happy trails and safe travels.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Hi Slim, the running joke for that area is they do indeed get good weather ... but only 2 weeks of it, in the middle of summer. Now you know. Sometimes, the rain, fog and clouds add to the ambiance. Cheers, Steve

So beautiful! And that last campsite looked cosy!

There are times I wish I had a small camper like yours.. It is no easy task pulling 9000 lbs across mountains & winding roads.. Not to mention set up & tear down every eve & morning when your on the road.. I love the room when Im parked , but it is a trade off... A small camper like yours still has the comforts.. And you can be on the road in a few short minutes..

[@jmpattillo]

Needed this escape today. Thank you Slim.

[@davec9244]

Is this not just about normal weather up there, but that is what makes it a destination worth seeing thank you ALL stay safe

[@shirleydierolf7112]

Thank you for this! Roads are alot better than when I was there. Attended a bake apple festival with music (tin whistle and fiddle) in the base of a lighthouse. Dancing the jig, if you knew how. What wonderful memories. My heart beats faster whenever I see pictures of Nfld. and Labrador. Used Newfie Screech to make cranberry sauce last year..yumm? Happy Trails

[@stymiedagain]

The ferry crossing schedule to Labrador is definitely an approximation. I’ve waited several days to get across, because of a crosswind that didn’t seem that bad to me. People are used to sleeping in their cars in the lineup. You didn’t mention seeing the 7,500 year old burial mound on the L’Anse Amour Road. It’s of a Maritime Archaic boy. His body was wrapped in a shroud of bark or hide and placed face down with his head pointed to the west.

[@stephendavies923]

Thank you as always Slim, for your wonderful travelogues. May the entertainment for us city bound mortals continue to see such wonder!

[@judyabernathy80]

Another winner! Loved seeing the Blueberries and the red ones, as well. So close to the ground and on a tiny bushes. Amazing. The ship that went aground (the Raleigh) was most interesting. Thanks for your most excellent work! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@theresevh]

Slim! I was thinking about you when the storm hit the east coast, but I can see that, since you uploaded this, all is well. Thanks for a great video!

[@MountainParameters]

I was wondering the same, and also wondering if we may get a future look at some of the storm from Slim's perspective.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

That ferry looks gigantic.

Thanks for taking me along with you on this journey to a place I've never been. Thanks again stay safe out there.

[@mskraftee5252]

Tell us you picked done of those yummy blueberries, Slim! Soy sauce and peanut butter are a good combo. Add a squeeze of lime and some garlic snd you have a tasty dipping sauce. Beautiful but stark landscape in Labrador. Judging by the weather, looks like maybe you’ll be heading south soon?

[@dougscrubjay3939]

I was in Nfld in fall 1978 - beautiful place, but yeah, mostly raining sideways most of the time !😀

[@JeffAikema]

I work at a airport and people will yell and scream when they don’t make it. I love how slim is so relaxed and goes with the flow.

[@sallowe5438]

I love to see you getting cozy in your trailer. Helps me sleep !

[@restlesshomebody]

I’ve lived in the PNW for most of my life, and the rain is only inconvenient. Thank you for demonstrating that people can still find beauty and fresh air no matter what! I would love to see Newfoundland, thanks for the vid! P.S. Ferry waits are only moderately annoying.

[@frozenbbfan]

Sorry to see the problems with the ferry. Now we can see why you don't normally travel like that. 🙂Still, thanks for another great video.

That spongy “tundra” creeped me out watching you sink into it as you walked along. You are a brave one, Slim, and we benefit ! Thank you for your very interesting video.

[@rrhopewell]

Beautiful place.

[@carolleenkelmann4751]

Hi there, Slim. - Goethe, I'm told, was the one who said, that it is not the destination that counts but the path you travel getting there. Very Philosophical. Seems a waste of a day but at least you could feel justified in the trip by rescuing the environment of Alu cans. Collect enough of them, there might be some recycling value attached to your altuistic efforts. I'd be doing the same but I'd be chasing the sun (says I, tollerating to almost freezing point minimal overnight temperatures.) I'm waiting to see more of your fixer-upper project there by the Lake. Your culinary skills underway, are becoming very proficient and you're right about the taste improvement with the peanut paste. Seasam is another choice. Pak choi and onion, also would add to the flavour. Bit more work, though. Those evening silhouettes are sometimes breathtaking. "A thing of beauty....."

[@melbajeanmeadlo8248]

Wow berries look great. I have been watching all your videos.

[@sjTHEfirst]

Watching your trip log all at once. What adventures you have.

Enjoying this trip more and more. Speaking about the pitter patter of rain on the roof brought back a wonderful memory of an afternoon shower with grampa in his hi top conversion van. Filming yourself pro tip, keep the utensil in your dominant hand and hold the camera in your off hand or on a tripod. Kidding of course, you keep doing you👍👍

On your way back, if you get a chance, the French Ancestors route is so beautiful. Huge drop offs into the ocean with scenic little Acadian towns dotting the way. Also Fogo Island is another little side route. NFLD has so much to offer the traveller.
