This is my home here. I like that you show the little things like a caterpillar, mushroom, moss and ferns. Tears of joy fill my eyes by the babbling brook. I'm elderly now and don't get out much. Thank you, thank you Slim for taking me home again.
I find myself watching your videos at night before bed. Its how I unwind and relax. Thanks for taking the time to include beautiful scenery, great narration and camping information. Best videos I've seen
Beautiful videography and wonderful storytelling. And I always love it when you show a map of your location and direction (even if you are long gone). Maps are visual aids that enhance the story. Thanks so much for sharing your interesting life on this platform.
Slim, I hope you get the message that we're ALL saying here...You have developed an outstanding ability to capture natural beauty via media (video, photography, etc.) Your narrations and voice tonality are perfectly matched with the content, not too chatty, but reverent, respectful. The top notch quality of your videos is the outward expression of your love and thought about the places you visit. The last few seconds of this vid. where you sat quietly contemplating the beauty of that brook was amazing. And you brought us there with you. Thank you so much and keep up the inspired work. The world really needs it!! ;D
A few hours north of Highway 20 is Highway 6 to Tillamook. The Tillamook State Forest straddles Highway 6 and provides lots of free camping. Just stay away from browns camp and diamond mill as both these areas are for off-road vehicles and get noisy. Also it was probably mostly Morel and Golden Chantrelle mushrooms that people are interested in.
Me and my friend google translate trying again. In a troubled day, I find it incredibly soothing to see such beautiful photography, superb composition of motives and manage to capture the beauty around us. Again, a natural thank you from me.
I do not believe I have ever seen a video short that captures coastal Oregon as well as this. The nature that awaits is astounding as is the remarkable and mostly unfriendly semi-mobile subculture that dots the landscape. That lifestyle seems to have begun around the summer of love and has never left. I used to visit the Oregon coast yearly yet by the 1980's had preferred to boondock elsewhere. Perhaps this is why I am drawn so strongly to central and eastern Oregon and the semi-arid lands of the southwest. I was quite relieved when you joined Hwy 20 and escaped eastward. Thanks for taking us along on this latest adventure Slim.
Found your channel and really enjoying it. I especially like the ones on the Pacific Northwest. Beautiful and now I want to go camping there.Hope to see more of that scenery. I will definitely share your channel with others.
I live on the Oregon coast and totally agree it is a beautiful place! Yep, tough to find "free" camping here. I really enjoy watching your videos, very well crafted and photographed! Keep up the excellent work! On a brief side note, the giant tree you showed and mentioned that it was a spruce, probably is not. The bark looks like a very old douglas fir, definitely a "grandpa". Thanks again for sharing your travels with us!
Free along any coast seems to be a problem. Try living free on coastal Florida, Georgia, SC, NC and you will drive a long way. We can barely find beaches to walk our dog on for a few hours. We lived in Myrtle Beach SC about a block and a half from the ocean. I could hear the surf at night. Still had to use special walkways to go surf fishing. Even then at high tide was harassed by motel employees as if they owned the beaches. Not a political rant but one of social restrictions. Put lots of people together and "travelers must keep traveling", or pay to stay.
Great video as usual. Indeed everyone likes different things. Although I grew up and lived in Ponderosa pine country in the Interior of BC I have lived on Vancouver Island this whole century so far. I love the moss and ferns etc, so much I have not been off island in 9 years. One trip through the rest of the province next year upon retiring, then back to explore every nook and cranny of my beautiful island. Really have no desire to go anywhere else anymore. I will rekindle memories of other places through you and others. Thanks for the brilliant content Slim.
Wow, what beautiful places you visited! Thank you for sharing them with us, I really enjoyed the scenery. “Go ask Alice mushrooms” was quite funny! Thanks Slim.
Just stunning shots of the forest, love Oregon and this is another brilliant spot. The water sounds and soothing music interspersed could make a relaxing soundtrack for those that need to unwind or fall asleep.
Wonderful and informative video, Slim. One thing you missed were the fabulous art deco bridges along the coast hiway. All built by one man: Conde McCullough, head of the Oregon highway department during the twenties and thirties. Still in good shape and considered to be masterpieces of engineering art by many.
Sorry about the lack of boondocking, but you did manage to get some AWESOME Videos and pictures. One of my Favs was the close up to the Rocks showing all the wonderful cracks, crevices and colors!! Wonderful, Thank you!!
Fantastic. It does get rainy and stormy there, as you could no doubt tell from the twisted tortured trees overhanging some of the beaches. And the many streams and falls give the range the name of Cascades, from my understanding. Your videography of your forest camp was soothing and beautiful.
I am just so , so happy to see these gorgeous paradise that you visit. I don’t know what I am waiting for me to go a see these beautiful paradises here at home !!! I just love the little doggie at the beach and the sunset , btw. I love any place with ferns I think ferns are magical 😍❤️👍Thank you !
The southern half of the Oregon coast is far less populated than the northern half. A few, not tons, more boondocking spots available. Thanks for the Hwy 20 videography. I also love Hwy 138 from Roseburg to Diamond Lake/Crater Lake along the North Fork Umpqua River. Tons of falls and USFS campgrounds that are $10/night, almost empty and safe.
My sister and I did the Oregon Coast a couple of years ago in my little Honey (my RV). It was really difficult to find a free place to stay on the coast. We did stay at Beverly Beach State Park one night, which was very nice, but very expensive. Makes me appreciate our BC campgrounds more. All in all, we've found Oregon to be , shall we say...'unfriendly' to travellers looking to escape the 'norm' and spend time enjoying their state. Too bad, because it is a gorgeous area.
I even tried St Vincent de Paul which ostensibly has a program where us campers can park overnight in church parking lots etc but they couldn't be bothered, it's really overwhelming- if you're not hotel fodder or absolutely destitute there's no middle ground for frugal travelers who enjoy the outdoors but the rest stops.
I think you should give lessons in nature photograph. I am always so thankful for the way you can slow pan the scenes around you. Too many vloggers rip through so fast it makes me dizzy. I have learned a lot from you Slim, thx
I'm planning a long road trip this spring and summer from the southwest up the NW coast and to wherever the road takes me, so I was intrigued with the first video I watched, and wanted more. I've now subscribe and look forward to learning more throughout the winter as I plan and learn. Thanks so much, Slim, for sharing your experiences and your photography!
Your videos just get better and better, I think this one’s my favorite! The clarity in your filming and editing are amazing. And you have a great voice, I hope someone with more importance than me sees that in you. There’re plenty of campsites in Washington state that have been closed in the past few years. If you watch Nomadic Fanatic he talks about this and being from WA he knows a lot of places to go. You cracked me up with ‘go ask Alice kind of mushrooms.’ Hahaahaaa
You are a good soul. Please know we all enjoy the love that you put into your content. As a long time weekend worrier, looking forward to being able to slow down and smell the nature before being back into the office on Monday morning.
Nice post! I live in Florence Oregon and I’m amazed all the time. I’m about a mile from the beach and I can hear the ocean 24/7/365. It’s incredible here.
I loved the sunset on the coast with the sun coming thru the rusted ship and with the dog playing on the beach. Such beauty.....awesome. Thank you for sharing.
"Holding his Ax" I will have to remember that one Slim :) Thank you again for a very beautiful and entertaining video. You are living the life for many of us.
Just found you, wow! I'm in southern Oregon. Unfortunately what you didn't know is that you can boondock along Highway 101 in those incredible pull-offs. Free. By the sea! Love your sense of humor, videography, again just wow!
The Pacific Northwest is definitely on the bucket list. Thanks for showcasing and reminding me that I need to get out there sooner than later. By the way I love your sense of humor.
After you picked up the cat shovel and walked into the bushes, I expected you to jump up from behind the bushes after you'd done the deed going "Meow!" hehehe
Mushroom season! Oh my. As always, this was beautiful and informative. I especially enjoyed the coastal sunset clips with the amazing contrast between the ship skeleton && the young humans sharing the beach.
I grew up in Oregon. Free camping along the Oregon coast has been gone for many many decades. There are back roads and old mountain roads in the coat range, but how safe they are who knows any more. Free camping is pretty much found in central and eastern Oregon now. Oregonians like to fence everything in and own it. I do enjoy your video's very much. This one reminded me of home. I spent a lot of my childhood on the coast. Now I live in Idaho. Big change, but a lot easier to boon dock and camp by a long shot.
New to the channel - thank you for highlighting Oregon's coastline - it is beautiful, even tho pretty darn cold. You got lucky at the coast. It's usually windy and rainy.
Slim! you should have stopped in Bend while you were passing through central oregon. Tons of free camping in the surrounding forests. Rivers, hiking, beautiful views. Bend is a great place to re stock. Maybe next time.
Great vid as usual Slim. Some stunning scenes and filming, good info...live and learn, no doubt.. I’ve recently learned that my own travels may be greatly reduced for the foreseeable future...that makes the vicarious travels with you (and a few others) all the more important. No pressure though!! Ha! Thanks and keep ‘em coming please !!! Peace-Dale
My wife and I had a wonderful Oregon coast trip in our campervan last year. You were right about no boondocking. The governments in many layers have gone to great lengths to make the public go to campgrounds. We learned three things. First, if you want to get a good rest, make sure your campground is not close to a foghorn going off at dusk. Many campgrounds are leftovers from homebuilders getting first choice on the land and so the campgrounds are situated close to these warning systems that are loud and continue all night. Second, any vehicle longer than 18 feet is not able to keep up with traffic on these tight winding roads. Third, most campsites are tree covered, so your solar system won't charge up very well. But the trip was so memorable, we want to do it again. This coastline is a national treasure.
Very good photography that I always enjoy with your vids. Oregon coast is pretty unbelievable for people who aren't use to it. Great site seeing. Keep up the good work and be safe...
hello Slim! Some people are just ruining everything for real campers..there are people out there running away from something or doing something they shouldn't be.Or living in there vans etc..But your beautiful scenes are absolutely awesome..i have always loved how you talk about the nature of things and explain everything you see..I am so thankful i found your channel and I do look forward to them.and wow those statues were awesome..thank you so much..
LMAO!! "The funny mushrooms...Go ask Alice mushrooms!" I couldn't stop laughing! Yeah, seems like we both 'grew up' in those times! You"re a hoot Slim! Great video as always...safe travels my friend!
I really enjoy your videos. I can't wait to be mobile again but while I've been waiting to have enough for more wheels I've been studying up! and yes! always trust your gut.. sucks that beautiful Oregon wouldn't have more nice camping sites.. that's one of the first states I'm planning to visit
Hey Slim. You drove right past my house, not far from Sweet Home. We loved seeing our area on your video, quite a surprise. Yes, the coast is hard to camp at, we never do. It's a hassle. Glad you found a spot in our mountains. Keep up the great work, love your videos
New subscriber and am really enjoying your videos. Thanks for some awesome places to camp. We used to Boondock along the Oregon Coast and had a favorite spot to Boondock a mile or so inland off 101. Last time we were there, the spot we camped in was taken over by transients. They looked like they were there for the long term. So, now we camp at Oregon state parks. Safe, free hot showers and easy access to the beaches. If state campgrounds are full, we have camped at a few private campgrounds that will allow our truck camper as a tent site for $15 a night. As Slim says, better to be safe.
One hour and over 500 views! Your a very popular person....How does that make you feel slim...lol Peaceto You an Yours, Truly Sir.✌✌✌🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗✌✌✌ The reason I like your vids. are that your old school , respectfull and GRATEFUL. Linc.
drop kicking.....lol...Act like a cat......that was priceless..welcome to Oregon...sorry I live here and barely know of any good spots to camp....you came on a good week...good for you..hope you find a good one ..blessings to you...
I don't know if TH-cam has awards, but tis one surly meets the best I've seen. Plus your voice is quite good with them. Nice work. I suspect a lot of work goes into making these. Thank you.
“Go ask Alice mushrooms” lmao! Even when there’s a fee involved, National Forrest camp grounds are usually less expensive than State Park camp grounds.
Enjoy your videos just want to say thanks for posting them!! especially for those for those of us like me who one day finds themselves medically disabled and living on disability now and will never get to do and see all these places !! once again thank you for what you do !!!
hi, love your vlogs !!! your eye and content. is all ways good. i live 3 blocks from ft stevens. thank you for visiting us. you are right. there is no boondocking here. as far as saddle mt. most mushroom pickers there are going for the meralls and chantrills. the liberty caps do not grow in the forest. they are in open fields of grass lands. the cops watch those ares all the time. it is a fed illegal mushroom to have them. lived different parts of oregon for 59 years. your video work showed true beauty of my state. thank you
What a beautiful video, thank you! I'm originally from the Pacific northwest. I miss the color green, ferns, ocean and lots of rivers. I know where I'm heading in the spring, thanks for the inspiration!
Utah Jeff .... here ... very good video .... I am originally from Oregon and go up there regularly as I still have family there . I haven’t been to all the places you have been .... but it gives me ideas
The little creek was awesome ... the sound of water flowing over rocks always gets me. Nice tree buddy too. I don't know why you don't head south. It's plenty dry down here with wide open places to park. Bumpy roads or smooth roads, take your pick.
Nice camera work. The forest shows that life and death coexist in a balance. Life, the ferns, the mushrooms, the fungus all emerging from decaying matter, a message for all to understand and see.
Awww, Slim, you drove right by my place (central Oregon coast). I'm sorry you had those experiences, we do have a lot of, um, campers here.... as for the weather, the truth is it's warmer in winter and cooler in summer and that is a big attraction for me. The rain comes and goes and we understand that's why we have those trees. Even when it rains the sun will shine once a day and that's far more than Seattle!
This is my home here. I like that you show the little things like a caterpillar, mushroom, moss and ferns. Tears of joy fill my eyes by the babbling brook. I'm elderly now and don't get out much. Thank you, thank you Slim for taking me home again.
I find myself watching your videos at night before bed. Its how I unwind and relax. Thanks for taking the time to include beautiful scenery, great narration and camping information. Best videos I've seen
The cinematography is outstanding in this one.
I agree. His videos---which are generally better than most of what you see on TH-cam---are getting really, really sharp and slick.
I could listen to those nature sounds for hours
Yep & yet again many more screen saver worthy shots here.
You need to have your own program on PBS.
“ Slim Potatohead and His Travels “
Your videotography and narration is excellent.
Yea he does
i said victor years ago you wont find better hope you and family are great greets from Ireland
I feel like I'm watching an epic travel show in each video
Beautiful videography and wonderful storytelling. And I always love it when you show a map of your location and direction (even if you are long gone). Maps are visual aids that enhance the story. Thanks so much for sharing your interesting life on this platform.
There is so much energy from the ancient forrest, you can feel it even through the filming of it. I needed it. Thanks.
One mushroom makes you larger and one mushroom makes you small and the ones that Slim cooks doesn't give you any buzz at all.. ;-)
Walter Blackledge go ask Slim, when he’s ten feet tall.
💗🎶
🤣
That is good!

Another great video! Great photography, superb narration. Safe travels on your journey!
..... Excellent video quality Slim!Great shots of the ocean and sunset with the dog running on the beach very well done...
Stunning and achingly beautiful. The scenery and your video work.
Outstanding scenery Slim. Very soothing.
Beautiful footage of a beautiful part of the country. Thank you for another wonderful video. Loved the “go ask Alice” comment!
The Pacific Northwest is definitely on the bucket list. Thanks for showcasing and reminding me that I need to get out there sooner than later. By the way I love your sense of humor.
Highway 20 near Sweet Home was the hunting grounds for a serial killer back in the seventies. Great video Slim 😊
was it the one who killed the campers who were jogging or hiking the trail? weird stuff happens around National Parks
After you picked up the cat shovel and walked into the bushes, I expected you to jump up from behind the bushes after you'd done the deed going "Meow!" hehehe
Well now I have to watch it again. Between the peacefull sounds and tranquil music, I fell asleep. Thanks for a wonderful nap, Slim. Beautiful.
Mushroom season! Oh my. As always, this was beautiful and informative. I especially enjoyed the coastal sunset clips with the amazing contrast between the ship skeleton && the young humans sharing the beach.
I live in Washington state. Love Oregon. Camped all over both States for many years. Thanks for sharing.😁

What a gorgeous video, loved all the nature shots. It really relaxed me looking at the trees and brooks. Well done. I will rewatch this one.
Slim! you should have stopped in Bend while you were passing through central oregon. Tons of free camping in the surrounding forests. Rivers, hiking, beautiful views. Bend is a great place to re stock. Maybe next time.
Actually, I did stop in Bend. May be in a future video. Thanks! SP
Great vid as usual Slim. Some stunning scenes and filming, good info...live and learn, no doubt..

Another great travel channel thanks for the ride along, we hope to do this in my home made teardrop camper
The "B" roll montage with the harp-style music was both hypnotic and breathtaking. I can't thank you enough for giving me that moment of peace today.
hello Slim! Some people are just ruining everything for real campers..there are people out there running away from something or doing something they shouldn't be.Or living in there vans etc..But your beautiful scenes are absolutely awesome..i have always loved how you talk about the nature of things and explain everything you see..I am so thankful i found your channel and I do look forward to them.and wow those statues were awesome..thank you so much..

while not a traveler i'm enjoying your "contrarian" ways (that's a compliment) and this segment is beautifully photographed. Happy trails! Rich
Well it took you some time to find a place but when you did it was wonderful. Thank You
That forest was absolute perfection!!!! Love the water!!!!

That section in the forest was absolutely beautiful. Thank you Slim Potatohead!
Oregon is Gorgeous this time of year especially up by Pendleton Rodeo town chilly nights though during the day it's nice ad warm
I want to do the wandering life one day. So much quiet and tranquility. I did not have too much serenity like this growing up in the middle of a city.
Beautiful forest scenes!
I don't know if TH-cam has awards, but tis one surly meets the best I've seen. Plus your voice is quite good with them. Nice work. I suspect a lot of work goes into making these. Thank you.
Thanks for another entertaining video. Also for bringing back memories of Jefferson Airplane and Alice!
Thats starship for you young'uns out there
What a relaxing video to watch before bed. Thank you!
Excellent filming, great interpretations of your journey!!! Thank you, Slim!
“Go ask Alice mushrooms” lmao!
Even when there’s a fee involved, National Forrest camp grounds are usually less expensive than State Park camp grounds.
"go ask Alice mushrooms". Good stuff! AND, weighing in what everybody else is: AWESOME videography, Thank you!
Enjoy your videos just want to say thanks for posting them!! especially for those for those of us like me who one day finds themselves medically disabled and living on disability now and will never get to do and see all these places !! once again thank you for what you do !!!
some beautiful cinematography you did. Oregon has some awesome nature .
hi, love your vlogs !!! your eye and content. is all ways good. i live 3 blocks from ft stevens. thank you for visiting us. you are right. there is no boondocking here. as far as saddle mt. most mushroom pickers there are going for the meralls and chantrills. the liberty caps do not grow in the forest. they are in open fields of grass lands. the cops watch those ares all the time. it is a fed illegal mushroom to have them. lived different parts of oregon for 59 years. your video work showed true beauty of my state. thank you
What a beautiful video, thank you!
I'm originally from the Pacific northwest. I miss the color green, ferns, ocean and lots of rivers.
I know where I'm heading in the spring, thanks for the inspiration!
Also...beautiful video. Thank you for starting my day out on a positive note.
Visually stunning and beautifully edited Slim, we’ve been enjoying following your adventures. G’day from Queensland, Australia. Warren and Colleen.
Utah Jeff .... here ... very good video .... I am originally from Oregon and go up there regularly as I still have family there . I haven’t been to all the places you have been .... but it gives me ideas
Gosh I love your videos. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into each and everyone of them.
Another outstanding video. It is amazing that you had that camp site all to yourself.
Hey Slim... glad you are attuned to your "spidey" senses. Always better safe than sorry.
Beautiful state to take a vacation in. But to cold in winter for me. I have relatives that live there. They love it.
The little creek was awesome ... the sound of water flowing over rocks always gets me. Nice tree buddy too.
I don't know why you don't head south. It's plenty dry down here with wide open places to park. Bumpy roads or smooth roads, take your pick.
Splendid episode, Slim. Thank you for taking us to that beautiful stream with falling leaves.
Nice camera work. The forest shows that life and death coexist in a balance.
Life, the ferns, the mushrooms, the fungus all emerging from decaying matter, a message for all to understand and see.
A splendid video Slim! You certainly outdid yourself with the photography and video. Cheers!
Awww, Slim, you drove right by my place (central Oregon coast). I'm sorry you had those experiences, we do have a lot of, um, campers here.... as for the weather, the truth is it's warmer in winter and cooler in summer and that is a big attraction for me. The rain comes and goes and we understand that's why we have those trees. Even when it rains the sun will shine once a day and that's far more than Seattle!
Hi Susan, despite its camping challenges it is a beautiful state. Hope to return again! SP
Oh, and this year we are having a bear boom....black bears everywhere, like a reunion
Beautiful Sequim in the shadow of the rainforest is so much sunnier!
VoluntaryismIsTheAnswer I lived in Western Washington for 39 years, and I'm familiar with Sequim. Gorgeous! But our weather is better -!!
