Night of the Noisy Neighbors: Boondocking Arkansas

[@hmork460]

My cat watched your entire video! She loved the birds and nature shots. Thumbs up from Claire 🐱

[@evalynchuran8684]

How are you doing my friend. Looks like you're still travelling everywhere.

[@scottzimmerman6485]

I almost did not play this one to avoid getting pissed, I thought for sure you had some inconsiderate neighbors pull in and ruin the peace 😄

[@kitchencarvings4621]

Ah, Redwing Blackbirds. My favorite bird. I always know springs is on the way when I hear my first Blackbird. They just arrived 4 days ago. They are visiting my feeders and every evening right before sunset They descend to the ground to eat all the seeds that fell out of the feeders during the day. For a few minutes, there are hundreds of birds on the ground and in the trees, flying back and forth between the feeders. I love it.

[@projekt6_official]

Saw the title and immediately thought “Oh no… another RV with a generator all night…” This was much better. Another great video, Slim. Thanks for sharing!

[@tubularap]

Same here. I was also shocked by the title, and therefore I read the description first: ... my evening got a lot less peaceful when HUNDREDS of locals decided to party." - I'm glad it was just birds.

[@contrafax]

Same!!! Migrating birds can be sooooo loud.

[@MBAdoptableDogs]

I camped at beautiful James Island County Park, near Charleston, SC. Wonderful day . . . And then the frogs came out, hundreds of them, all night long! A symphony only they enjoyed.

[@volvo09]

I love the sound of frogs!

[@sixpinkoneblue]

@@volvo09 They can be so loud it's deafening though.

[@bikingal4283]

I literally had to go out about 3am one morning to run the bullfrogs off near my pool which was covered on a night with a full moon...they mistook it for a pond...they were so loud in their mating song that I couldn't sleep...and I had the whole ecological experience, frogs singing, frogs laying eggs in the pool cover that hatched and became tadpoles, tadpoles that birds swung down and ate... rest became froglets of course...my girls got a free nature lesson...

[@randellziegler1318]

Went down to the beach looking for you I figured you was long gone but gave me a reason to go to the beach 🏖

[@SolarSailor1967]

Those shots of the tree silhouettes reflected on the water stunned me. I love tree silhouettes at night and that shot was a prize winner.

[@pattierwin4380]

Haven’t camped in Arkansas, but love Missouri.

[@joharmon2148]

Love the songs of the coyote's at night! Nice campsite.

[@RustyShackleford1955]

The birds were amazing and annoying at the same time. Thanks for the upload Slim!

[@paulbetka2966]

Almost time for you to return home 🇨🇦. .I love you. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But it's time for cottage rebuild time 👍🏻🙏🏻🥰🇨🇦🤪 Looking forward to that 😊 📏🔨✏️👍🏻😁💪😍😘😃

[@danielsweeney6742]

Slim- back when I was a kid my Mom and I went to an eye Doctor appointment my Mom parked under a large billboard. When we went out to get I to the car the car was covered with 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch a bird poop. My Mom thought that the was vandalized. I stopped her and had her look up and see the amount of birds. As we stood there you could hear the poop drop and land on the car. We went to a car wash. Had to go through twice to get all the crap off.

[@onrycodger]

I like the old Lucy. You kno the saying: "If it's not broken, don't fix it!"😊

[@thunderrode1744]

Hi bro whatcha up to hope all is well prayers 4 healing and unspoken also 4 bless great healthy peaceful safe journeys travels and happy camping in the name of the Creator God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost Amen much honor and respect keep walking tall have fun 4 me too cool cool video always walk tall 🚌⛺🌅🌌🌄🏞 👍👍💪🙂👍👍

[@carolstockman7788]

Relaxing video, I enjoyed it. I'm glad you like my home base state of Arkansas.

[@davebenson1504]

When I saw "Noisy Neighbors" I thought, oh no, not some obnoxious party goers... but the natural symphony would have been wonderful... maybe even the birds.... I am soooo envious of the fine weather and those croci flowers... we are still at -26c at night this week with howling winds and another Alberta Clipper on its way... and we are still under about a 2 meter blanket of snow too....those partially submerged tree trunks would certainly be a major magnet for my camera... what an amazing avian phenomena... the noise would be mesmerizing... my concern would be more for their 'deposits'... such incredible morning light

[@davebenson1504]

...and I just picked up a Luci 2.0 from SportChek in Winnipeg... current Cdn price is $39.00

[@davebenson1504]

Amazon price deliverd was going to be $29 usd or $37 cdn and a two week delivery schedule...

[@davidjones8680]

What a great place to sit and watch such stunning sunset. Many thanks for sharing your travels Slim. David in the UK.

[@tnxjesus]

My main man slim lets goooooo

[@autumnskyes5633]

I have always enjoyed the sounds of the environment at night. Owls, coyote, crickets, frogs looking for dates. My favorite times are the "twilight times". The crossover when the animals are either settling in or just waking up, and the sounds all blend together.

[@toril5376]

My pup also enjoyed the coyotes.

[@lloydstacey7674]

Love the end bit I guess your not impressed with the light. Mate as long as you keep blowing that lamp up a little part of you is In that light lol

[@dewdropn5619]

Alfred Hitchcock..."The Birds!" I have the same annual spectacular event, in Tn. They're the best noisy neighbors! Stay safe, SP. 🕊

[@DaleClark]

Which camera(s) did you use for this video? The morning light shots turned out very well.

[@HikeBikeWalkRide]

James Island near Charleston is absolutely beautiful. We stayed there for a couple of weeks and can’t wait to get back.

[@Zazu2You]

I prefer the old Luci. That tail on the new one seems like a bit of trouble. Cheers!!

[@richardthomas1743]

I love your snowboard wind deflector 👍

[@jayrpyne7067]

Beautiful ... we used to love places like that ... and the nature of it. Namaste. Jay

[@LaCatLady]

Ordered 2 of the Lucie lights from your affiliate link. Thanks, Slim.

[@RiDankulous]

You tricked me and I thought it was gonna be people drinking!!! :-) Haha! Birds can be loud. I hear bird around here that sounds like an owl, a little bit. It might be! But it goes 'hoo hoo.......hoo'. And repeats about 3-5 seconds later. But what's disconcerting is sometimes it sounds rushed. Most bird songs sound very relaxed and content. It's the only bird I remember sounding very nervous or anxious. I heard this bird type around and west of Phoenix, down in south central Arizona. I recall researching just a little and that it might be an invasive species from Australia. Edit: Eurasian Collared Dove is the closest I found. I like some noise like crickets so I don't hear the ringing in my ears, which isn't real bad but noticeable.

[@davidsradioroom9678]

You have a way of making the mundane sound interesting. Hope you are enjoying your US tour.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Another good video Slim. Great cinematography. Not being there in person (I'm back home now), those "crickets" sound like peepers (little frogs). Had a few nights of -8C or 16F when I drove back north from NM to the Michigan border crossing (which went really smooth). Enjoy the sun and warm temps. Cheers, Steve

[@Photobyhart]

When there’s a Slim Potatohead video, I just hit the Like button right away, they’re always great.

[@bpalpha]

Always love your nature shots Slim. Thanks for the vid.

[@daveinohio9383]

Great vid ! Thank you & safe travels.

[@tinab6032]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos!

[@harrietmanuelito1703]

As always 👍🏼👍🏼 love your videos 💕

[@robertlay5015]

I always loved the sounds of the Bullfrogs and tree frogs in the pond by my Grandparents farmhouse in South Georgia. Their sound became deafening when a storm approached. We said it was them welcoming the rain!

[@orreng]

Beautiful as always. Thank you! Cheers from south oh Houston!

[@TXMEDRGR]

I'm glad the birds gave you some peace in the end and I hope the record gas prices don't slow you down.

[@vickirick1]

You bring me such inner peace. Thank you for sharing, Grandma Vicki.

[@debbieomalley3451]

How beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. I ordered both Lucy lights because they would do well in a grid down situation.

[@noddybrown3074]

Thank god you’re back, I’ve been in need of a Slim fix for days. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Shadowstitch]

Sure hope you're safe and sound after this random sudden winter storm that hit us down here in the southeast. Lots of wind and snow, totally uncharacteristic for March!

[@noddybrown3074]

Where do you live? In Scotland you’re not safe until April and I’ve seen it in June.

[@rhondalyn100]

I am a little late to the party to tell you how pretty your camper paint job is. Love the two tone and the colors are classy! As a Tennessee girl, I appreciate you showcasing boondocking in my neighboring state of Arkansas. What a pretty place! Great vid, Slim! :-)

[@graciel3725]

I think I like the old Lucy better. Thanks for the reviews!!

[@deborahm6036]

The beauty of this video is simply breath-taking.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Your just a few days early to escape the cold if your still in the southeast. After this weekend 3/15, it should be 50-60-70's for the next few months.

[@Irishelixir1313]

Your voice is one of the main reasons I watch your videos, it is so soothing and pleasant to listen to. You should really think about getting into book narration

[@deborahwhy3637]

🌬aaaah. a conference of the birds. a parliament of foules📡 music from the multi-verses🎶fantastic cinematography, as usual.👌🏽bravo, slim.🕊

[@juanitagreenspan5412]

That was a beautiful spot and even though the bird chorus became a little more than could be appreciated, it was still nice they dropped by. Thanks.

[@bonnieerickson8567]

Starlings comprised the large, noisy flock of birds. They are an invasive species.

[@michellegoodrich7115]

This might be my new favorite Slim video. I vote for Original Lucy.

[@scottbryant2235]

Didn't expect Pee Wee! That was good! Also wanted to say, I kinda miss the ~A- Frame or A-liner.

[@sonastorer-johnson7541]

Your older Lucy is brighter I think , even when you turn the new one up ... I like old better.

[@PlanetEarth3141]

Slim, you drove off again and left the camara. He's always doing that.

[@shirleydierolf7112]

You gotta wonder what the signal between them is to all take flight. Glad it wasnt a pile of vultures! Thanks for the Luci light review. I love my old one..didnt know they had a new style.

[@jmpattillo]

When I saw the title I thought this was going to be about generators or outdoor speakers

[@snookdock]

Man you are living the life. love it keep it up brother!!!

[@h.b.4058]

I got the Lucie string lights and really like them. Beautiful shots. Hope you haven't got covered in snow.

[@davec9244]

Always a good time! A thank you stay safe A ALL

[@lylejurmu3696]

Loved the sunset, made me want to be there.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Great video, Slim. I, too, like the gathering of the birds each spring. They are hardwired to follow some order we cannot distinguish.

[@FeedScrn]

True. If evolution dictated the bird's flight... they wouldn't be going back and forth each and every year. God likes variety and diverse locations.

[@tylerj6182]

I would have been spooked if the birds came up on me like that 😳

[@brucel399]

Well if you need a new to you snowboard to replace that one, you're always welcome in Colorado. Great video. CHEERS from Colorado

[@personalpandemicstoriesorg4707]

Beautiful scenery!

[@gingerman5123]

I really hope you're working your way back to West Texas. It's beautiful this time of year when the Bluebonnets start blooming.

[@contrafax]

I am so glad your noisy neighbors let you get some sleep.

[@davesigz]

Love his filming talents.

[@azclaimjumper]

You're getting devious in creating the Titles to your videos, Slim. I was thinking the top of your RV & vehicle were going to get covered with bird doo. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of nature, at its best. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.

[@stacyledbetter4528]

Welcome to Arkansas. Should have stayed until March 11 we had snow here

[@mitchdevi6432]

After full charge How long do the lucy lights glow for

[@carycoombe3380]

When I saw the title I was thinking it was going to be locals whooping it up or running generators. Question: did you have to make a run to the hardware store, for your repairs, or did you just happen to have that on hand? And how long until the other side breaks?

[@carltonbirds]

Those birds looked like Starlings to me, they always roost at night in huge numbers like that.

[@charlieretro]

In my area the only come once a year and there gone.

[@sheronlee152]

I was thinking maybe grackles.

[@lancehector4485]

Once again, incredible video. I always love your scenery and narration about nature. This one got me even more excited about our first camping trip of the year in 2 weeks. Thanks for the video!

[@barbarakopp9255]

All I can say is, “Beautiful!”..❤️. Thank you Slim.

[@barbarasummers280]

I had that Bird gathering happen once when I had a walnut tree in early spring, and the whole tree was covered with robins!

[@FreedomToRoamBySusanHare]

Beautiful. Wonder what was making the night noises, as you said, "a haunting melody."

[@3generations393]

This video was terrific- thanks Desi (I mean Slim) 😂❣️. 🙏✌️🌎💞

[@kennyc388]

Old Luci rocks. New Luci needs to take a walk. LOL

[@Donley76]

Those look like European Starlings. They create beautiful flowing masses in the sky called murmurations. People talk about them like they're trash birds, but I argue that there is no such thing. We introduced them to North America, and being the generalists that they are, they have naturally flourished. Thank you for the beautiful, relaxing video of them.

[@mikebetts5532]

absolutely great video my friend. So glad I found your channel and I’m a subscriber now. Looking forward to your next one.👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍 Mike from Florida

[@judyabernathy80]

Gorgeous pic of the sunset, trees and your camper with the sunset behind it. Always great videos!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@patrickhawkins5566]

Hello Judy how are you

[@BirdPhish]

Lucy lost her way with the new light...i like the more minimalist original one....the intent of the original is gone in the new design. I have similar but different brand of lights like the Lucy but they fold up origami style instead of blowing up. thanks for sharing!

[@NatureAndOther]

Very beautiful nature and video. I enjoyed very much.

[@TravelingPhotographer]

The newer Luci clearly has better illumination and is more versatile

[@lovesalaska1329]

Your photography is awesome!

[@georgiareddirtroad9919]

I want your camper, and your vehicle, and your life!!😍😍😍 You are so blessed my friend!! Enjoy the day

[@GirlsWithGuitars]

Them birds were great, they must have been discussing travel plans 🤣😂🤣 keep'em coming SP

[@kgar6769]

Maybe you should have watched Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" movie that night.

[@noseeum6385]

You have made being a camper an art form. I too have coyotes in my back yard, they are my symphony of the South Carolina Low Country in which I live.

[@T-Mo_]

Really love that bird footage! -For any bolts you use on the outside of the trailer, a little tube of loctite thread locker might be handy to have. -theres a website... Google "calls of frogs" that interesting. I had a bunch of wood frogs on my property last year. Really cool call that sounds duck-like

[@phylbeeme2476]

I haven't watched all the way through yet. Stopped after you hung the Luci lights up to charge. I have been using Luci lights since I got a couple way back when the ladies were crowd funding. They still work & outperform all of the newer versions in amount of light and run time. Most times if I buy more, I pay the xtra $$ for original version: 75 Lumens 24 hour use time. I do buy others occasionally if they are on sale - to give or loan out in power outages.

[@luckywillen]

Great video. You did both sides (Driver/Passenger) on your wind deflector right? So you don't have to repeat later.. I have an A-frame and love it. Maybe one day we will meet while camping! Keep doing what you do!

[@tc2882]

The "new" Lucy looks like it might be handy as a hands-free work light, as you could use the bendy bit to hang it around your neck or from a branch. Although, from the video, the "old" Lucy looks to cast a more aesthetically pleasing light.

[@oldcodyjr]

I love the “quiet” of nature at Sundown (Lightfoot).

[@patrickhawkins5566]

Me too, it’s beautiful you know

[@rthib1960]

Very much enjoy your videos. You have a gift for capturing the beauty of creation. Your videos help me reflect on the creator of all this beauty. Thank you! Romans 1:20

[@TXH1138]

I don't think they're crows. Probably blackirds, starlings or grackles. Just go out and clap your hands until they leave.

[@LDaw_96]

This is my first view and I thought, “why does this guy have so many fans?” Well now I know. You are a great story teller. And photographer. So beautiful and the birds were so fun to watch.

[@gregprince2523]

Slim those starlings are noisy boogers and nasty when they roost above you. Next time get a couple of pans and smack em together, sounds like a gun going off and they skedaddle pretty quick. Looks like you are a little early for the Skeeters down there.... They'll find you soon nuff

[@barbarajohnson1442]

Love those trees out in the water with bulbous bases. Beautiful view. Can't wait til I can explore later this year. Nature heals so effectively. The green, the sky, the sounds, you captured them.

[@plove523]

The sunrise looks like liquid gold. Beautiful.
