Note from Slim: I have been tracking Hurricaine Fiona for several days, thanks to all for their concern. I have altered my travel plans to avoid the worst, and will seek a sheltered spot prior to its impact. Will keep you posted! SP
UPDATE: Me and the Outback made it through that scary night. Thanks! SP
Sorry about my post since you already had it covered. :)
I think that we are all concerned about your safety...thanks for the update!
Been looking at the models looks like you should be see crazy winds and conditions by about 2 A.M. Saturday. Stay safe be careful Slim!
Stay safe Slim. My cousin has property facing the ocean in the north part of NS.
Opps Thanks Slim, I didn't see this when I posted my concerns a day ago. 👍
All of us Slim fans look forward to these videos and once again we are treated to an expertly crafted account his experience in his continuing adventures. Loved the Lil Snoozy.
It was lucky that you parked your trailer next to Red Green and got to see inside his trailer. As he said if you’re handy you can build it out yourself.
Carl was a cool dude. I'll have to check him out. Oh and the hole in the ground was grandiose.
That snoozy trailer was pretty unique and nice
I loved the Snoozy. He did a spectacular job on it. Wow
Nice video, as always. Beautiful sinkhole, and waterfall, the folks you met didn't lead you astray. That's a nice inside the man did on the Lil Snoozy. Like those fiberglass trailers. Happy camping. 🙂👍
Slim this was an epic adventure. Thank you. I appreciate all the time and effort it took moving your camera so many times to get this great video. 👍
Cheers, I hope you enjoyed a cold one or two when you got back to camp. 😊👍
Appreciation of Slim's efforts to video these adventures was what I planned to comment on too! Climb down, set up the camera, climb back up, then back down to the camera. Wow!
That's what I was thinking as I watched all those great shots, you must have lost count of how many times you had to climb up and down.
Well, you're up early!
I'm in Newfoundland time!
Thank you for sharing The Sink Hole and showing us around Carl’s L’il Snoozy. I hope you cracked a cold one after climbing up and down and up and down to show us the beautiful water fall at The Sink Hole. That looked exhausting!
2 layered insulated hull and hopefully he used duel pane windows and that makes for a true 4 season camper.....didn't see a heater but add a wood burning stove and go do some winter camping! Thanks for sharing!
That was a really neat camper. Very aerodynamic and doesn't seem too heavy and just the right size.
Great to see you in my childhood hometown of Rocky Harbour. I loved that Lil Snoozy.
Wow - that waterfall was spectacular! I'd say gloves would be nice too! :D Loved that guy's camper - with 2 people, you do need more space. He kept it simple but sturdy. Clever storage solutions in there.
Wow! That was a tight fit to the Sinkhole. You found a winner. No way we could fit in our 25 ft. Class C motorhome. After 4 weeks on the Rock we’re taking the ferry back to Nova Scotia today… just in time to beat Hurricane Fiona this weekend. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to skip the Cabot Trail/Cape Breton to get out of the path. Be safe wherever you are Slim!
Very nice that Snoozy. Would love that.
Carl, your Lil Snoozy is a beautiful piece of work. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Slim, that sink hole was a great find. I’m curious to know what the information sign had to say about it. Anything of interest?
Stay safe from the coming hurricane Slim. Thanks again!
Good morning Slim. The shot with you approaching the boulders at the bottom of the sinkhole was fantastic; gives true perspective. Yeah, Newfoundland can be a touch windy, just a touch /s. Nice interview and showing of Lil Snoozy. Enjoy your adventures in Newfoundland. Cheers, Steve
Thanks Steve!
That sinkhole was wonderful! And good that you were able to go down to the waterfall, made the size "real" when you stood beside!
From this short interview one could understand how charming this man, and his trailer, was, thanks for showing it!
I can’t believe I’m seeing a video of the sinkhole, congratulations we went there years ago and it looks like it hasn’t changed at all, I thought it was a very interesting place, but I would only go there with a second vehicle, you never know when you are going to pop a tire or have the unfortunate incident of a fallen tree to deal with. Love your videos.
Good 🌅
Slim , very cool video! Love Carls trailer! Thanks 👍
Loved the sink hole, I would not make it down but at least I did with you. The “li’l Snoozy” was really interesting. It is nice not to have to reconfigure your life three times a day. Really well thought out! Always interesting. NewfoundLand was my favourite spot when my son and I drove across Canada. It was pristine and beautiful and people I met where incredibly kind. I liked the Viking settlement, and we took a boat ride, I forget the name of the place but I believe it was in Gros Morne. It was a salt water inlet that was cut off from the ocean and is no longer salt water. Only special boats are allowed and the beauty of the place is jaw dropping. Have fun, thanks for the excellent videos.
Whew that was a strenuous path to and from the Sink Hole! Thanks for taking us there. I loved looking at the camper next door, very nicely done. Always interesting to see what others have dreamed up. Happy Trails Slim.
Slim, hope you and your cabin is safe from the 🌀 hurricane. I've been sitting here drinking ☕️ coffee thinking about your safety. Could you just post a quick..."Hey I'm still here" update. I have friends on PEI. They've evacuated and are safe. Stay safe Slim. 😊👍😊
Slim, this was an ultra good video. The sink hole was such a great thing to see. While it was scary to think about, it sure left a beautiful landscape. The Lil Snoozy is very cool. He did a great job of designing and making it. The wood table was just awesome!! Thanks again for showing us things we will probably never see!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
I Love All your Adventures with your Stories and Beautiful Unusual Photography 😘GOD BLESS YOU & Watch over you ❤🙏
thank you Slim l lived in Newfoundland for three years when l was a kid l am 74 now back than.l l was 7 ,8,9 l lived in Stephenville the whole Island was beautiful and untamed
someday l think l would like to visit again alot of memories.
Nice video. I see the flag is half pole for the Queen.
Slim thank you for taking me along on your adventures It has been almost 2 years since I have lost my mobility And your videos help me from missing my woods Thank you God-bless
Great video Slim! Carl's trailer is very thought provoking. really liked the aerodynamic quality... His fit and finish is first rate. If the door was say 32 inches wide this trailer could be made to be quite accessible for wheelchairs...as it stands it would accommodate some of the narrower chairs.
at the risk of underlining the obvious -this is very thought provoking trailer .
Carl’s trailer was awesome, as was the sinkhole. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Lamond was incredible! Very steep. You were right to emphasize this was a sink hole, not a stink hole. I wouldn't give the co-ordinates out for that secret place either. Loved seeing your sunset. Our sky was deep red sunset last night. So beautiful for only a few minutes. That squirrel was not afraid of you. I really enjoy your videos & narration. You do a beautiful job. I enjoyed seeing the CAMEA camper. Perfect set up. Beautiful wood work with table.
It looks like a survival pod off the Enterprise
Couldn’t sleep. Thought I heard a rumble. Now I know why.
Stay safe and please. . . no slipping on the rocks. You made me nervous just going down that hole.
Hey Slim!! Thanks for taking us along on this one. Very unique adventure. You're videography is second to none! Safe travels, Friend.
Thank you so much for taking us along on your travels.
Neat lit camper … I saw those a few years ago but thought the went out business
Thanks you slim see you soon
What a great treat for an early Monday morning
Slim I have seen Squirrel eat popcorn and bread and any thing humans eat they will eat. But they love popcorn
So amazing..again..Thanks, enjoy your time there, we'll be waiting....stay safe, be well
The best part of going down the sink hole is that you essentially get to do it twice - back and forth to set the camera, get the shot, get the camera, go down for the shot, go back for the camera, set it for the next shot... rinse and repeat!
I love the sink hole. The waterfall was so relaxing…
Another great vlog Slim.
question for you, how many times did you climb up and down the rope to film the sink hole, to set up and retrieve your camera?😇
Gorgeous place!
Thank you for sharing.
What a great adventure & narrative. Slim makes you feel like you are with him on the journey. Wasn't there a song about that camper? Wake Up Lil' Snoozy?
That Lil Snoozy looks like a slippery design!
Jello might be a good idea to take care of that rust on the bottom of your jeep. little spray bad liner and time would go a long way. Happy travels
God bless you stay safe out there thank you for sharing that Newfoundland has a lot of secrets 🙏
Pretty cool.
Hey Slim hope your keeping a good weather eye! Bad storm coming your way.
Sinkhole was awesome! You should have led with that. grin
You did a lot of extra climbing to get those shots. Thanks.
Thinking of you during this hurricane. I hope you will fair well.
morning slim love your videos 📹. stay safe
Slim you make great videos thanks so much! 😝👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks to this video, I will be able to remember what "scree" is. It was great to see a Lil' Snoozy, as I was previously looked into them.
Glad you enjoyed your trip to the sink hole and giving it two thumbs up..Robert and Nancy safe travels 👍👍
Thanks again for the tip!
Great video slim! Safe travels.
awesome thanks slim 😄
Wasn't expecting a Slim video this early 😳
Awesome Snoozy trailer. Beautiful scenery. Thanks SP. 🕊
As always thanks Slim.
I was squeamish watching your descent into the sink hole! Great video. ❤️
back on the road love it
Hi Slim , did you in Quebec , we have a municipality named too Gros Morne in north east of Gaspesie ....
Love the effort you put In to getting shots climbing up and down. The Finnish on that camper was incredible, what a wonderful little camper
Wow Slim that is an awesome view of the sink hole.. and what a climber you are,, i would love to do that too.. I am so glad that you are being cautious and careful.. I truly enjoy your travels.. thank you for the views and this video.♥
This was a very enjoyable video, Slim. I couldn't do the climb, but it was nice to see you do it safely. Lil Snoozy was sure a cozy looking camper. Thank you for all your efforts.
Another excellent video, Slim. Wonderful reprieve from working on the cabin! Locals always know.. Great interview as well. Be well & safe travels.
I loved the shot of you walking up to the waterfall. It really helped give a sense of the scale of the sinkhole.
This just became a awesome day. Wasnt expecting a video before work. Niiiiice. Thanks slim
Beautiful sunset. One good thing about windy is, it means no bugs! No black flies, no see 'ems, or mosquitoes! Cool spot. (Jane) safe travels!
Hmm, you learn something new everyday. I know about lil snoozy and snoozy II. But did not know that they have double hull construction. I thought only Oliver trailers are made that way. Even Big Foot trailers do not have double hull.
You’re correct
Really hope you stayed safe through Fiona. Take care out there.
Getting down the sink hole would be the easy part. I would probably just fall and bounce to the bottom. That trailer is very interesting. I like what he did with it.
Hi Slim! I hope you're safe from the storm. Take care!
This is where I'm from. Lol. If you make it to cape spear or st.john's. Please visit northern bay sands on your way back.
Loved that spot! I can't even begin to imagine the time and volume of water it took to create that sinkhole. I'm originally from upstate New York and not too far away is Watkins Glen, beautiful Lake but cold water and a Gorge you can walk through. In another little town, a place called Montour Falls. Just outside of town is the reason for the name. A waterfall that is a newborn babe compared to the sinkhole your showcasing. When I was in my teens is a very popular spot for swimming and parties. I never did find out how deep it was directly under the falls. My done boyfriend and I would take a backpack with water and sandwiches, after swimming we would enjoy a small picnic.
Love the Snoozy. New owner of Snoozy utilizes different vacuum insulation technology for the 2 halves of the fiberglass shell nowadays. Unfortunately, last time I talked to them, they had not yet spent the money ($8k USD) for an R factor study that takes into account the new technology. Such a pity too…it could be a real selling point. We’re looking into a Snoozy 2 for the future. Thanks Slim!
OMG How beautiful the "sink hole" was! Thank you Slim! Your in pretty great shape! Well done!
Love the Snoozy; and that table is trick! How would you make it? Hey that could of been a free outdoor shower, nice spot!
i think you're terrific !
Always talk to locals to find out about what non touristy spots to visit.
And Kudos for not giving away the exact location.
Many a place has been ruined by overzealous people visiting because of global attention.
Awesome vid and a really cool camper with aerodynamics screaming at you.
AWESOME AWESOME TRAILER 😀😃😄💪🏻💪🏻✌️😍😍GOOD FIND , INTERVIEW 👍🏻
The park flag at half mast gives a good indicator of when the video was filmed. The Queen’s funeral was last night, my time.
An excellent travelogue, Slim. Thank you.
I thought for a minute that the squirrel was a rapper named "Lil' Snoozy", but that would be acorny joke.
Nice
Such a cute Snoozy!!
The sinkhole looks very cool. But at 70, with my bad knees, I wouldn't even try to go down there.
Hi Slim,my name is Chad and I am currently watching your video in the garage while doing some welding art "garden flower bike".
I have two large GSD/ Bernese mountain dogs that are currently looking all around our yard for that lunch time squirrel of yours! Lol, where did he go?? Good quality sound from your video through my bluetooth speaker has them confused and on guard of those crazy squirrels. I love it!
The sink hole was Awesome!
Thanks for taking me on this adventure😊
I always enjoy coming along on your adventures & seeing different things along the way. Thanks
Well I went and looked at the Snoozy II web site and it appears like they do put interiors in them. Neat little trailer. Keep the good stuff coming Slim.
Sink holes are really cool. My husband and I spent four days in Mount Gambier South Australia a few weeks ago. The town is full of sink holes, all slightly different from the other and some with caves once you reach the bottom. Really cool.
Thanks for another great video.
That is so cool!
I love these travel videos.
That sink hole was a most excellent adventure,thank you for having us along!!!
