Big Blow a No Show, so I had a Beer! My Hurricane Lee Experience

[@acsentu8]

You are like a modern day Mr. Rogers for adults. Relaxing, educational, interesting! 🌂💕

[@joni1]

So true!

[@mitchellbade]

I would like slim to be my neighbor.

[@marielinejuillard9495]

👍😊

[@user-Bee3939]

Yes! I love your nature narratives.

[@didlidoodles343]

So true! 😄

[@JoHarmon-hg7wz]

Cabin is looking so cozy and a great place to hunker down in a storm.

[@paulr.3220]

"Not Bruce Lee. More like Sarah Lee". Love it.

[@lindabenstead6672]

There's no flying cows, but you're defiantly a wizard at making life beautiful. Thanks Slim! ❤

[@paulaj7682]

Seeing your practical and pragmatic approach to securing your cabin and yourself against a potentially damaging storm was a great way to showcase the importance of being prepared. Although you suffered no catastrophic damage, you were presented with a perfect opportunity to see how your cabin would fare should a future storm not be so kind. Watching you move about your comfortable and beautifully appointed cabin was a treat. I couldn't help but think back to the derelict wreck of a mess you started with. The transformation is incredible. All the more because it came about through your own vision, hard work and perseverance. Bravo to you sir and your obvious enjoyment of the fruits of your labor!

[@lisantica842]

It turned out nice that you were able to re-route the rain water under somewhat calm conditions.

[@Jeffrose_]

Cabin looks great Slim. Honestly I'm glad no livestock was flying by your cabin. It was a relaxing video.

[@marthatroyer3021]

Having lived all my life (64 yrs) fifty miles from the Gulf of Mexico, we've gone through that prep, hunker down, pray for the best, many many times. We are blessed to have only had one very direct hit including nine days without power. Thankful all is well for you.

[@tracker5849]

We are close to cedar key...we were lucky in our area

[@didlidoodles343]

I so enjoy your sense of humor Slim! Comparing a storm to fluffy pancakes, talking about cows flying around... Priceless! 😂

[@virginiatolles1664]

So glad to hear old Lee didn't cause problems for you. Yes, may there always be room for dessert.

[@ralphlong9973]

We don’t need “cows flying by” we get enough of that (figuratively speaking) in the normal news. What we need is calm, relaxed stories from a person who has figured out how to enjoy the simple life. Keep it up.

[@azores-pv6ft]

Your positive view of life is inspirational. I am a longtime admirer of your channel and stories.

[@copious_amounts-unknown8897]

Very happy to see that Lee did no damage to your beautiful cabin. Slim! Here on the East Coast in the USA, it was pretty much uneventful, too. I feel bad for those who did have damage and lost power. Not so much for those who panicked and bought up all the milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper, leaving shelves bare 😅. That hurricane stew looked very hearty & delicious 😋 Take care Slim.

[@soniadowney7427]

I hope you give Gordon Ramsay your Michelin Star soup recipe😊😊

[@grandmaowl7348]

I've gotten to where I enjoy a soft rainy day storm more than the good weather! I find the sun to be very strong on my eyes, so cloudy rainy days are much more pleasant and quiet for me! Glad the storm fizzled to a gentle rain and even though maybe not as exciting, it's certainly better that way! Beautiful cabin you are very blessed!

[@loisaustin6200]

I'm so impressed with all you have done on your cabin, it looks wonderful and you seem to know so much about how to survive out there in the wilderness. I admire all you have done to make the cabin so liveable, comfortable and cozy, I would love to have one just like it. The view from the deck is to die for. Lucky man.

[@janicepaisley6799]

A " Sarah Lee " hurricane is a good hurricane . I love the rain . It would be a beautiful day to me in a cozy cabin . That would be my happy place .

[@grayrabbit2211]

Glad to hear you didn't have any damage from it. At the same time, with all of the camping you do, you're already far better prepared than anyone. I lost my home to Hurricane Ian just about a year ago (9/28/2022). It's still standing, but progress is very slow. We still can't get enough qualified contractors to do the work here. At this point there's power, non-potable water, and elevators. No communications, and no fire alarm. The last item there being what is preventing us from moving back in.

[@bradleysonthemove5790]

😂😂 love your dry humor: Hurricane Lee isn't Bruce Lee, more like Sarah Lee! 😂😂

[@alancall5113]

Everybody loves a good hurricane stew thanks slim thanks for sharing

[@frozenbbfan]

Its awesome your cabin kitchen is like the kitchen in your camper.

[@The-JMartian]

Wish I could have the calm the serenity and organization you have

[@rodneyshell4255]

I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of "Slim's Offgrid Cookbook"😂

[@M.Campbell]

Glad you didn't get much weather to worry about.

[@marianfrances4959]

What? No flying cows?!!! Ya, that's good news! Nice crop harvest and super-trashy hurricane soup!😂👍🇨🇦😎

[@jeffhoward9186]

Slim you are most definitely one of a kind and that’s what makes you. Don’t change. So glad Lee decided to whimper out.

[@bettybrigance6784]

What a beautiful place....

[@maineiacts]

That Hurricane Stew actually looked great after it was done! Amazing!.👍

[@jimmiksche1527]

Try leaving the skin on the potatoes, wash 'em up. That's where all the nutrients are, and it adds more mouth feel to your meal. Glad you're all right. JM

[@onrycodger]

Be very thankful it passed and did no more damage than what it did. I love what you've done with the place. An the videos are icing on the cake. I'll always remember the back porch demolition.😂👍

[@yvonnehopper5035]

Soup on a rainy night....perfect.

[@goofe.washington953]

The John Waters reference was fabulous

[@lory2622]

Your cooking methods and choices are a great addition. What’s the word? “unpretentious”, your watchword.

[@Outdoor_MED]

Glad the cabin is still standing! Cheers SP

[@debrasill3678]

Your cabin kitchen looks great! Thats the epitome of cozyness....a cabin in the woods, hurricane soup, and rain on the roof...my idea of heaven 😊

[@fivizzano]

You are THERAPEUTIC ! 👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@carolyard8629]

You are an artist with words… and a hammer! Never miss a show EVER!!!!

[@nevv8581]

Glad everything worked out for you Slim. It’s always wise to be prepared. Thanks for the great vid.

[@caroletomlinson5480]

😂 😂 A cozy rainy night in the cabin with Chef John Waters and his Tomato soup con lettuce & potatoes 😋. ❤❤❤❤

[@ladikmk]

It's good to see the Lee treated you and the rest of NS kindly. You just never know, and when it comes to hurricanes, it's always best to be prepared. Take care.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Calm is generally good. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@susanjohnson5824]

Love the John Waters reference he is one of the favorite directors

[@ralphsmith8682]

Slim you surprised me. I thought for sure you were adding veggie dogs to the soup. Glad the storm did not cause damage,

[@LOT9T]

Always good to revisit older videos from time to time!

[@carstars]

Glad you made it thru unscathed.

[@redsorgum]

Tropical Hillary for the most part, was a nothing burger for us in California, and boy did they hype it up. Good to hear you are okay. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️ PS: Your cabin could use a pair of Dietz oil storm lamps, I prefer them and candles. The rain did show you where you might consider making new water paths.

[@MaryK4242]

"John Waters of the culinary scenes" 🤣🤣🤣

[@dragonskunkstudio7582]

I needed a chill out video, and you delivered. Thanks!

[@joycestanley4987]

Love watching the outside in the weather

[@linebrunelle1004]

happy to see you are ok.

[@arlenefrancis2791]

Good day Slim! 😊🍺 Love your dishwasher, best kind ever. Enjoy the pitter patter of soothing sound of the rain, and the cool refreshing beer. Take care. See you next time!

[@vickilee2185]

Slim, you lead such an exciting life. You are so calming to watch and listen to. Rather have the peaceful evening than reports of destruction. Enjoy the week. Blessings

[@markattardo]

Glad Lee didn't keep it together and that tree wasn't near anyone or anything. Looks like your drainage had a reasonable test and adjustments weren't too difficult.

[@MrWayout55]

What a difference a year and a hurricane it was !!! I remember last years hurricane when you were in your trailer getting blown about. No worries...Great video...God Bless !

[@user-uq2rr4xt9g]

Good to hear that all turned out well!

[@RankinImagery]

Slim, you are one VERY FORTUNATE MAN to live like that.

[@markrenfrow9873]

Hey Slim, glad you didn't get the big winds .

[@janicepaisley6799]

Omg .........Lol, lol ......the concoctions you come up with for your supper never ceases to amaze me ! You should do a cook book ! ....................Well, maybe not !

[@carolynmesser7199]

Glad the storm missed you Slim . Love your view.

[@neurotoxin71]

Glad to see you came through Lee unscathed, I consider myself lucky as well, lots of wind and some rain but nothing to write home about, I was surprised tho that my power stayed on throughout the somewhat storm here in Halifax, all in all storm chips were not needed and youtube kept running....lol

[@Squarekn0t]

Cap'n Rick, Port of Lewes, Delaware, Wednesday/ Thursday we had 30 mph winds and 10 ft waves coming onshore. Camped out at Assa Tigue National Park in Maryland with all the horses trotting thru our camp site.!

[@cliffordwright342]

Glad things went well. Nothing like your experience with Fiona and your trailer

[@barbgilbart7945]

I am very relieved, that you had no exciting vlog to share! Glad all is well! Very nice relaxing video! Thanks! FYI the cabin looks very cozy! Love what you have done!

[@magalirodriguez7830]

Even though the storm was mild and no cows were flying your video was as enjoyable as any other ones from you. Glad you are safe and the cabin didn’t suffer any damages. Waiting patiently for your next video

[@richardthomas1743]

Well this was a great start to the day , another awesome video from Slim. We're all glad to know that you had no problems from Hurricane Lee. Laid back and no drama! Your Hurricane Lee Stew actually looked really good! "I was wondering when you started" LOL Thanks for taking us along Slim , I appreciate you and your videos! Have an awesome day and of course thumbs UP! 👍

[@yodyod7]

It is interesting to see how your drainage plans worked out in heavy rain. An enjoyable vid. Thanks.

[@mikel5582]

Living in coastal Southern California, we prepared for Hurricane Hilary (downgraded to tropical storm by then) but were met with an almost eerie lack of wind. We did receive a couple of unreasonable inches of rain, and a brief period of gusty winds, but we were mostly spared as the storm ended up tracking further east, causing some damage in the inland desert areas.

[@annetorswick9641]

The cabin looks great Slim. Glad the hurricane was uneventful.

[@johnhuff393]

Good morning from Godley Texas, glad the hurricane wasn't as strong as predicted. You're right about water, it will take the path of least resistance. The kitchen looks fantastic. Everyone deserves a good beer at day's end. Stay safe and happy travels 😎

[@susanstrickland6774]

Not going to lie. Husband and I said several times we hoped you and some other YTers were making out ok during the storm. You were lucky, and glad for that. Really like the kitchen, all you need. 🙂👍

[@nava8529]

Glad you are doing good 👍🏽with the storm. I extremely love your simple cooking recipes, you inspire my camping meals.

[@1967BlackRose]

Hey Slim, glad the area didn't get too much. I believe that have that same knife! Give it a bit of 'wet stone' love and she's good for next time. You won't find another like it. Soup looks great. NB is home and I appreciate your appreciation of the woods, waters and nature. Thank you. I will say this one thing, can't say as I have ever (not seen others) snip beans with scissors. Just a gentle tug and the next one's can grow.

[@patshankle3281]

❤So peaceful and calm. I love listening to rain on the roof I would have been sound to sleep. 5hanks very calming and relaxing. This came out on the 18th. 💕 💕

[@wrxs1781]

Good video Slim.

[@bernadettebockis4120]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bruce and Sarah Lee. What a beautiful cabin!

[@michaelspiak3998]

Love the dishwasher.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

So glad you weren't effected by that hurricane Slim, our weather here is considerably mild for the most part, so I can only imagine. Your kitchen looks the part, very rustic and practical; perfect for a cabin.

[@dianerossetti3245]

Wow, your kitchen looks great! Glad you made it through Lee alright. Cheers from southern Alberta!

[@o.smallwood4268]

Glad the storm went through peacefully, thanks for sharing. All the best, stay safe!

[@theresadupuis8475]

SLIM WAITING for the STORM HERE WAS WORSE THAN IT WAS EXPECTED TOO WE WERE LUCKY 😊

[@rosecarpenter5112]

Glad you are Ok

[@marielinejuillard9495]

My happy place!! Thank you Slim for this very relaxing video whith no drama! ❤

[@lja6420]

Greetings Slim, glad it was a dud... And you are OK!

[@mrjack8849]

25:12 I was expecting a cow to walk past the window behind Slim! 🤣

[@user-lg1gj3li9j]

You were lucky Slim! I've been through every hurricane since 1961 in Florida. I remember salt water being on my Grandparents property close to the old airport on US 41 in Miami, now I think it's Florida International University, which is pretty far inland from the beach by 8 miles, but I was a lil kid the last time I saw that house in 73. But if a hurricane hit anywhere on the peninsula we were in it. You escaped pretty easily with just rain. Happy trails and safe travels to you

[@lisamaclean8453]

LOL..."Slim's hurricane stew," Loved it. Umm, Umm good.

[@phoebelong7513]

Glad to see you OK in the storm and your house and property are standing strong. Take care and thanks for sharing.

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

I'm glad your safe. Looks like the only clean up that will happen... is that tree.

[@Jo-uy6pl]

Nice relaxing video to watch, love the sound of the rain too. Have a nice week and enjoy your cabin and lake🐿🐇🦨🦅

[@dancronin5513]

Glad you did not get hit hard by bad weather. Thanks for the videos, very enjoyably.

[@kxrv6629]

Glad Lee was uneventful for you. We left Nova Scotia and waited out Lee in Quebec. Knew the storm was over Saturday evening when we saw a beautiful full Rainbow🌈

[@dadadit]

Exactly what I would have done, let Lee do the dishes!

[@alaska-bornfloridaman]

I love hurricanes. They equal $$ for me. I've been riding them out for 25 years, and haven't flinched. Bring it!

[@PopRoxxRadio]

Glad to see you weathered the storm ok and everything. I was worried as I discovered your channel (the first video I saw) was your one last year in the trailer. Whoa!

[@ericerickson6537]

Nice video glad you are safe. The Cabin looks good

[@rebeccadees2300]

Thankfully the hurricane didn’t live up to the predictions 👍

[@beacee]

Well you are safer there than in a camper lol. But glad is all is ok. Always enjoy your content. That cabin is a dream!

[@Janer-52]

Much better result than the horrifying mad dash. You have built a cabin both beautiful and storm-proof.

[@billh28025]

I remember the hurricane last year and it really got your attention. lol

[@jimhurleywhitakerjr]

Put a thrust block @ the upper culvert to prevent wash out and to direct the water. A large PVC 90° elbow might be an option with a couple stakes at the thrust Point. BtW, saw some solar panels in the lake supplying lights to the giant aeration fountain. I mentioned before about solar panels in the lake. Nothing new "under the sun", huh. But your HOA would not approve if there is one.

[@cliffdavis5244]

You are a lucky man who gets to visit wonderful places! I really enjoy your channel and check up on you frequently. You rock Slim.
