Just Milling About at the Cabin: Slim's Fixer-Upper Part 28

[@SlimPotatohead]

NOTE FROM SLIM: I am taking a break for the month of May, stepping away from the camera to catch up on a host of things that need attention. In the meantime, please check your subscription status, as a lot of people have commented they are not getting notices of new videos. Any updates will be posted on my blog: www.slimpotatohead.com/blog-1 Enjoy the spring everyone!

[@Cinlupu]

Gonna miss you!!!!!!

[@mrjack8849]

I don't subscribe to many KZbinrs, but the few that I do and actually watch are all saying their viewership is down. Not sure sure what is happening. I think there was a boost during Covid when people had more time, and now people have less time? Or there are just so many KZbinrs now, folks get spread thin on the the content they watch. Whatever the case, you are still one of enjoyable channels I watch. I'll be ready in a few weeks to see your new challengers and adventures.

[@rcdad2]

Love your videos both camping and cabin updates. Everyone needs a break from time to time

[@innescoull7061]

Enjoy the brake

[@misswoltzen]

Enjoy your brake. Your channel is one of my favorites. I like the variety of travel, camping and watching your cabin renovations.

[@brucegeary6705]

Slim.... I'll never get tired of your videos. I look forward to seeing them.

[@raebbb]

I am certainly not tired of your videos Slim! I watch every video usually the day it’s posted. Also I don’t wait for KZbin to recommend your video I check your channel to see if you have posted.

[@HunterFisher-ke4qq]

No one’s tired of your videos. I never miss one. I’m guessing it’s because of KZbin’s recommendations.

[@davidsradioroom9678]

I agree!

[@carlschulz1057]

I agree - not tired

[@M.Campbell]

Definitely not tired.

[@markoa6999]

Absolutely, I wish he would release videos more frequently.

[@kmbbmj5857]

I came on here to say this. The last 2-3 videos I had to go searching for. They weren't popping up in my feed even though I've subscribed. Shadiversity just had a video a few days ago about his audience disappearing but that it didn't match the data.

[@oldfisherman5112]

I've never missed a Slim video. He's a great storyteller and good with the camera. Calming , relaxing and much less expensive than therapy 😅

[@kimclark3931]

I’d say VERY good camerawork!

[@billheckman5937]

I just had to officially add my name to those who love all your videos, though i must admit that the past few weeks our life was a bit hectic and we didnt tune as frequently. I am happy to report we are cheerfully caught up. I cannot imagine life without Slim.

[@paulr.3220]

I have commented several times over the years on how resourceful Slim is and again he demonstrates his amazing talents. As a lifetime do-it your-selfer and someone that has cut 3 chord a year for 48 years, all split by hand, I offer my nod of approval. You go Slim.

[@ElizabethHague-fh1nk]

After hearing you say on your last video that viewers might be getting tired of your camping videos, I had to let you know that we LOVE all of your beautiful camping videos! However, I see that about a thousand other people already beat me to it.

[@animestein]

I am not tired of any of your camping videos, but a cabin update is also wonderful. Thank you very much for the new content, and have a good day.

[@cherriemckinstry131]

We're absolutely not tired of your videoes. It's the way KZbin directs us by whatever other video we watch gets piled onto our viewing list.

[@tnxjesus]

I second that.

[@Thrower23]

That’s why we subscribe, right?😃

[@shannonbannanie4370]

@@Thrower23 I'm finding that a lot of accounts that I'm subbed to still seem to get buired in my subscriptions page. It's been that way for a while. Some even are not showing on my subscription page at all, and yes I've double checked that I am subbed.

[@sharoneyler5916]

I thought your last Navajo video was very professional and amazing

[@animalguy2936]

If you are a subscriber and have notifications turned on... you won't miss an episode of any KZbinr you follow 😊

[@1967BlackRose]

I appreciate both the travels and the Cabin. Take the time for you to refresh and rejuvenate your creativity. I didn't get your notifications and finally got the time to look you up. Glad you're well.

[@laurafranco7408]

I think that the hub-bub of daily life has many of us by the nape of the neck at intervals! I know I've missed some of your videos but I returned last evening to find I'll have many new ones to enjoy, I always return though. I bought a travel trailer and tow vehicle as a single and have been struggling a bit to learn all the things I need to be able to do. I took this step because of the peace, serenity and perseverance I observe in your adventures. When you encounter a problem you "work the problem" seemingly without fear or much anxiety. I am thankful to have your example to follow! Thank you for your patience and attention to detail when teaching about the building and renovations you do also. 🙏🌻

[@dmdavis4551]

I do not know why the viewings of your camping trips went down. They were ABSOLUTLY AWESOME! Actually tuned in to see more. You are a great videographer ,and love your narratives. Glad you made it home safely.

[@anonimalombardafabbricaaut7824]

Please take my advice Slim: don't change your schedule just because KZbin popularity is declining. What we all want to see is someone loving life and aiming to achieve happiness in it. Please fell free to do whatever you want and we'll join naturally.

[@kimclark3931]

And none of us believe for a minute that your popularity could be declining!

[@sharonfrommann6516]

I agree with the rest of your viewers, we absolutely are not tired of seeing your videos,don’t work too hard. Enjoy your cabin even though it’s a lot of work right now. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

[@Chris-pv2ht]

I enjoy your breaks away and house renovations so please keep them both up. I must admit the renovations I do enjoy the most but I also watch the trips away as well. You strike the balance perfectly in my eyes between making the videos fun and exciting without making them too long and boring

[@miketomas8564]

So Do I. I started with Slim out and aboot and although I'm not much interested in DYI home restoration, I've been supporting him with every video he makes. It's a shame that he's seen a decline in viewership with his travels. But it's somewhat of a job and more viewers = more ad revenue. I don't blame him a Bit.

[@EnchantedAstronomy]

I never get tired of your videos, whether they are travel or the cabin. When I first started watching, your videos were all on travel, but I've really enjoyed pretty much everything you do and appreciate the time and effort that you invest in your channel. Loved your winter/spring travels, particularly in the Southwest.

[@pattynelson9915]

Please don't stop. I look forward to both your travel and cabin video's. You are my Favorite You Tube channel . Great content , very professional nature videograpphy and you are never selling anything.

[@m.d.grimes1622]

I worked in a lumber mill (50 years ago) in Northern California; they packed up all the equipment when they sold to Georgia Pacific and shipped it down there. We milled redwood and it smelled wonderful, they made lawn furniture and construction lumber and burned the sawdust 24/7. Very interesting video Slim, thanks.

[@ablais007]

Hi Slim. My wife and I loved the last videos down south. Keep it up. We're not bored with them.😮

[@garyrussell5373]

This is some real Red Green Show content, true north strong and free. There was always the sound of chainsaws in the background. Canadians must be born knowing how to use a chainsaw.

[@mollyisenbarger1]

I always learn so much from your videos, Slim. I can't imagine anyone getting tired of your camping adventures, but whatever you put out, it's always worth watching. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us!

[@michelleconlon6237]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you post some more content from your recent trip away? I definitely prefer your travelling videos Slim. I will never tire of watching you. You are so relaxing to watch 😊

[@SlimPotatohead]

The holdup is not content, it's editing. I need to get a good start on the cabin as the season is short, and editing takes too many hours. I am also trying to learn a new editing software which makes it even harder. See my last blog post: www.slimpotatohead.com/post/spring-break Thanks! SP

[@daviddarlingauthor]

I've been looking forward for the cabin series to restart! Welcome home.

[@anybodyoutthere3208]

SAME!!!

[@peggystutz8522]

Meet tooo!

[@BillMartre-uq1gg]

In France we are definitely not tired of your videos. Looking forward to every single episode

[@offthebeatengrid]

I love to watch you innovate. Your videos never disappoint no matter what the subject. Thank you for all you do for us.

[@BurntHashbrowns]

I think KZbin is changing things around. I have seen where other youtubers are saying the same thing . Please continue with your videos they truly inspirational. Yours are my favorite videos to watch.

[@leedanielson7452]

Tired of Slim? Never! You're one of my favorite content creators of all time.!!! Love your travel videos, but love your cabin videos just as much! By the way, greetings from hot humid, Florida lol

[@novampires223]

Never tired of your videos Slim, just outside more working in the garden this time of year. I do keep up with where you are and since I am rebuilding an old log cabin here in Oregon I lean towards watching your cabin videos more. 😊

[@daneboro6847]

Slim I look forward to your camping 🏕 adventures, your one of the handful of genuine camping channels I enjoy watching, thanks for all you do👍

[@patriciacerwin6266]

Wow, I am always impressed with your ingenuity and ability to accomplish your goals. I know you won't waste the first cuts. If you need a shelving unit, it could be the outer sides with the cut boards as shelves. Just a thought. Don't ever stop making videos. There are too many of us that would miss hanging out with our dear friend. I never traveled, or camped out, and I just am grateful to travel with you. You are a gentle soul that helps many of us get through life. Be careful and stay safe.

[@artieross9537]

I don't know how anyone could get tired of your videos. I was fascinated by how you milled the lumber. I'm looking forward to your next one. I've been watching for a few years. Take care.

[@joannecanetti7481]

So excited you’re back at the cabin. As much as I like your travels, I personally love your creativity at the cabin, watching the place come alive. You’re such a talented man Slim. Keep up the great work. Thanks

[@Troutay]

As always, your videos are wonderful. Whether you are camping in the U.S. or Canada, or you are working at the cabin I always watch. Never get tired of the beautiful scenery or the information on the cabin. Keep it up!

[@carmie5881]

I have watched most of your travel videos and one with the California Conor was terrific. Now you are cleaning up and using your cedar tree demise for multiple uses, love it.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Definitely never get tired of any of your videos. Excellent videography, new skills, beautiful scenery, wildlife, a cool cabin, and great humor!! How neat is making your own boards!! Live how you have always reused/recycled things. 🙂👍👍

[@iasunfloweriasunflower6703]

Im not tired of the videos, I'll admit I'm not a desert fan. Its just so brown and blah, love the green and forest, lakes etc....

[@rickrentz6602]

Excellent Slim! Good to see you back home. I really enjoyed your last video out west. My wife and I were in New Mexico and Arizona at the same time and of course was hoping we would run into. But hopefully in the future. Just want you to know how much we appreciate your video, it is the the highlight of the when you post. Be well and peace be with you!

[@heatherinsf]

Been missing your videos and glad to see you shared an update. I hope you feel better soon.

[@SlimPotatohead]

Not sick, just busy!

[@terrilikens4975]

I really admire your resourcefulness, Slim. You always inspire me to try new things. BTW, I enjoyed all your travels in the States!

[@johnharrelson890]

It's not that I don't like your travel videos Slim, it's just that almost every You-Tube nomad puts out endless videos of road trips.. between 1977 and 2010 I traveled all over the USA in several different types of RVs and so I lose interest in watching travel videos. However being a typical man, I love your videos where you did all those changes and repairs to your trailers, cars and now your fantastic cabin build. So while I do watch all of your videos Slim, I don't have the same level of interest in your travel videos as I do with videos like this one.. Keep this type of videos coming my clean shaven friend ... I promise I won't miss a single one of them 🤓

[@DonnaRehrig]

Wow, you are home already. I was expecting more sight seeing stops on your way back home. I love traveling with you while anticipating the next adventure. Thanks for taking us along. You are a great tour guide.

[@cathyjay2569]

I can’t believe your views are down! I absolutely LOVE watching your travels, and I watch each at least twice. Your film making, editing, and adding voiceovers is second to none, simply amazing! Truthfully, I would watch you cut up trees or scoop sawdust. Uh, wait a sec…😂Hate I missed you when you were in Tennessee!❤TN Nana

[@Spudnik15]

Definitely not tired of your travel videos, they are the high point of my week, in the summer its the cabin building time and I learn so much with your amazing projects,

[@larriettausa]

Wow so that’s how lumber is cut. Slims brilliant handyman skills❤️

[@katherinclayton4344]

Please don't stop how you do your videos. Idk what the KZbin guys are doing, but we love your adventures and cabin . Nice job on the logging.😂❤

[@joycekleinert5908]

I never get tired of your travel videos. I hope you will show them anyhow. Enjoy your cabin ones also.

[@vivianallen9772]

I’m with everyone else! I’m not tired of your camping videos! I love them, but we religiously watch every video you release, whatever it’s about.

[@tammiehenry8494]

I enjoy all your vids! The last several ones especially! The views were amazing! I've never been to the south west before, so I really found them interesting. And please don't let the numbers dictate otherwise. You just keep putting them out. Bless you Slim! 💕

[@stephengardiner9867]

I think that your travel videos are great and you know a fair bit about photography (videography???). I enjoyed my trips to Washington State, Oregon, California, Nevada, Louisiana, Texas Alabama and the Atlantic states with my late wife. I saw many places in your videos that I remember, however I can see why the "viewership" dropped off a bit. Your videos where you are devising, creating and utilizing creative (Macgyvering?) solutions to problems truly speaks to the hearts of your subscribers. This is where the genuine "Slim Potatohead" truly shines (with successes and not so great ideas included). Certainly continue to roll on as long as you can and capture it all. Leaven that with a good helping of your "now how am I going to handle this job (on a budget)" and you will do just fine.

[@jimbailey1122]

Re your travel videos: I like those the best. the cabin ones are OK, but traveling Slim is the Slim I started with and the Slim that brings a smile to my face. I am sure I am not the only one that feels this way.

[@tobewiser1629]

Oooh, Slim can't wait for more cabin vds--variety matters and yours channel has it and plenty of creativity. Thank you for your generosity. Can't-feet-stomping wait!

[@Frank-James]

I watch all the videos that you produce, but the cabin DIY videos are by far my favorite!!!

[@aliciaturner325]

I could just smell that wonderful cedar! Good work! Can't wait to see what you're going to do with the boards. Great ideas for the sawdust! Always enjoy your videos.

[@karincorbin2355]

I enjoy the mix of travel, trailer improvements and cabin renovation. All of those things are personal passions of mine and I have am still doing the travel and fiberglass trailer renovations. Maybe someday a small cabin type dwelling will be in my future.

[@heathere7590]

Love the travel ones but also enjoy your pottering busy home ones. Seeing the world through others eyes is a gift.. thank you. Hugs from nz

[@shawneeb3771]

You have an amazing way of making anything possible . Building your cabin, fixing the camper or even fixing your truck. If you don't have the tool or equipment no problem you can make something to do the job. Thanks for sharing another great project.

[@mariec1297]

Absolutely not tired of any of your videos, in fact I loved your last one, it was one of my favourites!

[@stevemorris3710]

Agreed, please do release them Slim.

[@MrDogmeat55]

I look forward to every one of your videos, no matter the content. Of course, as a camper, I love the videos about camping. However, I enjoy your cabin videos as well. Your demeanor is what caught my attention early on, and you just have a very pleasant disposition. Please keep up the videos, no matter what you are doing. You always make them entertaining, interesting, and with bits of wisdom and knowledge. Thank you very much. A camper in Georgia!

[@jennyleef1775]

I have been away travelling interstate and overseas for a few months, left in the last week of January. I had no Internet for most of it so didn't get to watch you videos or others. So now I am home I am binge watching. 😊 So, no I am not sick of your videos I have just been out and about enjoying life...just as you have been. ❤

[@magalirodriguez7830]

Definitely not tired of your travel video and always looking forward to them. You really know how to highlight the beauty of this beautiful places. But we love your cabin videos too so we’ll be there waiting for the next video whatever it is

[@ksweet696]

As of this writing, your last camping video had about 57K viewers. SOME OF US still like the camping stories! I'm sure the numbers will continue to climb! However, the cabin videos are also totally awesome. So don't despair. 😊

[@j.patrickmoore9137]

Slim, some of those pieces or sections that cannot be used whole, cut them up to make cedar "planks" for cooking salmon, and either sell/ship them yourself or sell at a farmers' market, flea market or whatever. As for the sawdust, the easiest way to make fire starters is to use egg cartons, sawdust, and talk with some school teachers about collecting used crayon ends for you, and then melt and pour the wax into the piles of sawdust in the egg cartons. I always admire your creative spirit working to problem solve, good job with the tree! If you can get most of the dirt out of the tree roots, you could cut it up and then use it for either firewood or campfires or ??? or just burn it.

[@mitchelll3189]

Just another comment to assure you I want as many camping and cabin videos you can put out! I never miss one.

[@lyndadoak3287]

I enjoy how conscientious you are as a steward of the land you are traveling. What a relaxing place to set your compass to when you return from the road🫂🤗

[@Zeldacat300]

We always look forward to your videos, Slim! Hope we can see your return trip if possible.

[@crystallopes4284]

PLEASE! We LOVE your travel videos! Don’t leave us hanging… we want to see the adventures!!

[@snowdiann]

Slim I watch all your videos, but I really like it when you do your cabin restoration.

[@michaelbomar1989]

Not tired by your videos at all it’s always a good day when there is a new slim video 👍🏻👍🏻God bless brother

[@sylviatilsley7285]

Never tire of your camping videos. I watched your ones on Tuscan during our drive back to BC from Melaque Mexico. Checked out the swap meet you visited and I would never had gone thru Valley of Fire a few years back if you hadn't told us about it. I was really looking forward to the ones on your travels home. Please don't stop giving us those kinds of videos.

[@joycefortin7877]

Happy Thursday! Loved the last video, walking where the dinosaurs roamed. Good to see the cabin again. The milling is hard work but the new lumber right from your property has got to be a cool thing.

[@patricialukas3991]

My husband and I made boards out of VERY long tulip poplars with an Alaska fixture. I can't say that I enjoyed being up close to that big chainsaw for such a long time!

[@donaldlattimer2736]

I never miss any of your videos, enjoy every one. My wife and I have enjoyed camping for over 50 years. We also have enjoyed watching what you are doing with the cabin remodeling..

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

Whatever videos you make, I will be watching them. It's amazing what a great job you do on your editing.

[@LeslieCaudill]

I wouldn't dream of missing one of your videos, camping or not. I believe most of your subscribers would agree.

[@LorraineS23]

I do not tire of your videos. I am in Australia and always wanted to see more of the States and never got to Canada though I was booked to go twice. Your videos give me the opportunity to see what I missed. I hope you do not give up on sharing your travels. I also do enjoy your cabin updates.

[@FeedScrn]

That was genius. I never seen anyone mill their own lumber before. Good job!

[@Buckeye532]

Slim, you have such a good disposition and good natured. That only makes me enjoy all your videos what ever you put on KZbin!😁

[@Harbor-Rat66]

I’ve never missed a Slim video. God bless from Norway🇺🇸🇳🇴

[@jamiejack764]

Stay safe and keep up the good work as this helps my mental health

[@uncleshugg8854]

this man could Macgyver anything out of a hardware store

[@jasonfonoti2351]

KZbin not doing there job of letting people know when new videos uploaded. Slim, keep it up love the adventures!

[@annekerr1729]

Loved your video! Don’t stop the travelling videos, we love you taking us along on your adventures! Really enjoy your cabin posts, loving what you’re doing!!❤👏👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@susanw8471]

I'd love to see the rest of your traveling videos. I travel out there myself as well in my van but I don't go out there as much as I used to. So please put them up when you have time and we can all enjoy them together. Thanks for all that you do!

[@gumotx]

I was really enjoying your desert camping series in the Southwest and beyond. I hope you will continue it.

[@prairiesky1144]

Slim, you are SO talented! I never tire of your videos and look forward to each one.

[@normamccafferty3053]

Pretty remarkable that you figured out how to do this. But the thing that REALLY surprises both my husband and me is that viewership fell off for your last videos. We loved them all. Your recent video, Navajo Monumental, was staggeringly beautiful. People are really missing out! Keep being you! ❤ 🎥 ❤

[@SarahWRah]

Handling the logs alone looks like a LOT OF WORK! Slim is always amazing. My family has been in construction much of my adult life, so I view his efforts with a practiced eye.

[@barbgilbart7945]

I am not tired, as I watched every one! I was waiting for your Eclipse capture! I checked out the one from years ago, and you mentioned you wanted to witness 2024! Today's video and instructions of milling was awesome even for an old lady! Very interesting! Thanks Slim!

[@debbieslaten1348]

KZbin is not putting your videos up. They actually unsubscribe me from your channel and several others. It’s not us not wanting to watch it’s KZbin. We love watching your videos.

[@Paul.Douglas]

Not tired of your videos. I think with the change in season, people are getting out more and watching less KZbin. I hope you post more of those travel videos. This was an awesome series!

[@rosesevers5181]

Definitely Not tired of any of your content.. might take a day or so to get to them but I always watch them. Look forward to seeing more of your camping videos.. 😁

[@derelict_wanderer]

I'm not tired of the camping videos either. I did delay a few hours to a couple of days in watching the last few, but that wasn't due to anything but nicer weather moving in and myself getting outside and getting things done while the opportunity presented itself between the spring storms we get.

[@lorraineeagle4009]

I'm not tired of your camping videos. I really enjoyed them as I do every video. I watch them all. I'm sorry that most times it's the next day. I'm also like that you are just honest about everything going on. No make believe nomadic life like some are starting to be.

[@trafficsnitch3505]

Welcome home Slim. You're videos are always interesting. Especially here in the UK, I am envious of all the places you can travel to in North America.

[@kimberlycockram1894]

We love all your videos and watch when I can. I work a lot of hours and I’m in school part time. Sometimes it’s life. I have enjoyed all your videos.

[@karentucker346]

I love your camping videos!! Will never get tired of them. Your cabin videos are fun too. They all inspire me.

[@Photobyhart]

Your videos are never boring. I always hit the Like button right away so I don’t forget. Have a great summer season whatever you’re doing.

[@colleenwilkin5705]

Not tired of your videos, I really enjoy them and look forward to them

[@anitasimmons3599]

I know I am slowly catching up on videos, because I have been out on my own adventures, That is likely what lot of your subscribers have not gotten to the last few video. We also have neglected chores to get done between storms. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. ❤😊
