Land of Mouse, Moose and Mosquito: Boondocking BC

Continuing on my Northwest Canada journey, I find a peaceful little lake in Northern BC with few human visitors but a lot of natural wonders.

Tuesdays have become known as Slim Day!!

He’s my teacher 😃

[@hamiltoneast]

A thousand other youtubers could make a video about camping in BC. None of them could create the same quality of art. Kudos, Slim.

[@hstteacher]

Gorgeous

[@azclaimjumper]

Agreed! Sim's videos are the absolute BEST on all of youtube.

[@lindasue8719]

Agreed! Beautiful as always, and I love his “invisible partner 2nd camera-person“ 😉 Soooo much work goes into these that we don’t see Slim do.

Well, you have to see Greg Ovens and Zach Fowler then. They had a 30 day survival on Canadian Rockies. Check them out. 😎

[@coddiwomplecolster7329]

Very relaxing video. If not the scenery, the optimism and good natured humour, always makes for good viewing.

[@joannsilva4715]

So beautiful, Tator! The eerie cry of the loon's, a wow sunset & the moose! A good nature guy picking up after disrespectful tenants making Mother Earth shine! Great video! Ketchup is good on a hot dog, not sure about a grilled cheese.

[@pagewhite61]

I wish you could have seen my dog when he heard the loons, he had no idea what to make of that and kept tilting his head from side to side. It was funny. That sunset sequence on the lake was mesmerizing. Thank you Slim.

[@efzapp7]

Good morning, from the Gulf Coast (Texas). Haven't had a vacation going on 3 yrs. now. First, Gulf Storm making home repairs necessary and now C-19. I vacation vicariously through your vlog. Thanks for helping me maintain a bit of normal outlook.

[@annekramer6740]

Set up a mock campsite in your house and use only candlelight after dark and cook from your cooler. Use no electricity or electronics. Use a bucket toilet. Wash from a basin. And have fun pretending.

[@Rick-eb3bu]

Slim, we have been watching your vlogs for months now and today you just knocked it out of the park. Seems you get better and better with each passing video. Keep up the good work. You seem to have a knack for finding the perfect nature shots. Love it.

[@paulaj7682]

That time lapse at the end... Wonderful! :-) made my day.

[@azclaimjumper]

Agreed, 100% + Slim's balancing act has improved; I'm sure Karl Wallenda has taken note. Although, I'm still watching/waiting to see Slim eat a potato.

[@victorsandoval3083]

Being as I am disabled, I cant do any traveling now so I live vicariously through channels like yours. So I am so happy when i check in the a.m. and see a new Slim Potatohead video! Thanks so much.

Lots of moose, beauty, and as always, goofy humor. Thank you so much for the time and craft you put into each of your videos.

I've been really wanting to go camping, but it was 97 today. Can't bring myself to go camping with the temperatures over 85 degrees. I don't have a camper just my tent, need to be able to sleep, so I'm waiting for the temperature to fall. Those reflection pictures and the ending with u in the last of the sun was amazing.

You create the best outdoor videos. It’s become an anticipated experience on Tuesday morning to pour a cup of coffee, relax in the recliner and watch the new Slim video on the big screen. Such effective and masterful work. Thank you for sharing.

[@SistahRev]

Slim, I have to chime in along with others: I’ve been savoring your videos for a long while now, and only periodically do I comment. Just want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for the gift- dare I say the “ministry”- of your sharing your experiences, artistic visual viewpoints, open-hearted adventursomeness, vast skill set, and warm (& sometimes endearingly silly!) humor with us. During this pandemic, for a variety of reasons I feel so very, very trapped and hindered from enjoying the kind of outdoor spaces that heal, feed and lighten my soul (and the ones nearest me are now understandably overcrowded and, in some cases, trashed by the hoards of people who USED to spend their free time in other contexts, in the past leaving the green spaces to tree huggers like me!). Your travels are one of my outlets- simultaneously feeding my need and aggravating my frustration that I don’t have access to such experiences! But PLEASE keep up this gorgeous, generous, kindly work of yours; you’re among the best and most compelling at what you do, and I am grateful for your sharing! Many blessings to you in health, safety, and joyful access to tremendous outdoor wonders! Thanks 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@fatenabdallah7861]

Your videos should come with an addiction warning, to peace and serenity that is. I often watch one or two just before bedtime to relax and lower my heart rate. You’re living the dream my friend, I envy your lifestyle. I hope you keep taking us along on your one-man adventures, safe travels Slim.
