So peaceful and beautiful. The time lapse of the moon and the stars was breathtaking...and I love hearing just the sound of the water and the birds. What a great camp spot. Thank you SP for such a beautiful video.
You are my favorite youtuber! Excellent photography, storytelling and knowledge of the park and area around it. Always look forward to viewing your latest adventure, product reviews, your interesting culinary choices or your DIY projects. Your honest approach to life and everything you do is very admirable. Thank you for including us, your TH-cam watching friends.
Thank you for a perfectly timed video. My wife and I are grieving the loss of an old and deeply beloved pet, and your videos have always cheered us up, this one appearing only hours after our loss. Also, as Tennesseans, this video is doubly effective at a particularly difficult time. Again, thank you, and we hope you continue for years to come.
I empathize with your sentiments, and am sorry for the loss of your "baby." Slim has a way of soothing my wife and I, as well. I dabble in video production, and I'm digging Slim's production style, and his persona. Again, sorry for your loss, and we 2nd your comment.
Be careful of partially submerged trees, especially in a area with a strong currant, the underneath bits can snag you and pull you under. It happened on a river in Oregon where I floated many times. A city dweller tried to float through, got snagged, pulled under by the currant and drowned. Lovely area, beautiful rocks. Thanks Slim
Idyllic. I think this is my favorite video of yours so far, Slim. The sunset and moon/Venus timelapse was stunning. And the lovely footage from the kayak with that footage of just the reflections on the water was so relaxing. Very nice videography.
Around @ 4:12 mark, that silhouette shot (pick a frame and screenshot) would make a great T-Shirt. Definitely put your name/logo on it. You could do some cool color combos!
The best days are when you put out a new video. No matter what you do. Camping or cabin. You are such a remakable human. So soft and caring for nature and funny. Just wanted you to know. Never change.
I think it's awesome that, having confessed a fear of the water in the past, you now speak so glowingly of the chance to bring your kayak and spend time on the water.
Me either, I cannot swim but it's 20 years I'm kayaking on lakes and calm rivers. Always with the jacket and the safety equipment. It's so relaxing, also in our crowded lakes in North Italy. Ciao!
That was a beautiful campsite! I sure enjoyed watching you paddle the kayak down the inlet. I've gone tubing in Idaho on the Couer d' Alene River and it was fun until I almost fell off hitting a fallen tree!
very nice video, calm times on the water. Sounds like a great camp site, sure can't beat the price. We all met in Tenn. for a family reunion, several years ago. It was a central location since we were all coming from different states; FL., GA., MI. We were in Sevierville, Tennessee. We rented a house with plenty of bedrooms. It's in between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, so there was lots to do in any direction. Looks like it's an hour and 30 min. from where you were. That area is very pretty and was a great time.
As Ratty said to the Mole, Slim: "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
I think those thin sedimentary layers are shale-slate is harder and maybe thicker (and takes longer to form). I’m guessing leftovers from a Cretaceous shallow sea, but maybe younger ❤
With a view like that, being right on the water and able to kayak from your site, you really can't ask for more. That's a beautiful campsite Slim. At the 9:37 mark, Fire Pink is the stunning wildflower in that shot. Hope you have some more videos tucked away for us from prior travels. Thanks for sharing and hope you are well.
Love watching your kayaking adventures from NZ but please be careful wearing gumboots in your kayak, if you end up in the water they'll keep you from getting back on board, keep up the great content 👍
Over the years you have posted videos from places I just was or was about to be. Jacobs Creek is only about an hour from where I live right now. I hope I have the pleasure of bumping into one day.
We call that rock shale here in Tennessee. As much as I travel around myself there’s no place like my home state of Tennessee. There are lots of special places you can find without hardly trying. There’s been times I have not gotten my kayak off the roof and gone Id guess at least 2000 miles. But when I can get in the water it certainly is worth it. Heading east to the cool mountains soon 👍💕✌️
Another great video. Glad you back tracked to release it. I also canoe during the summers in Ohio and we are very fortunate to have great waterways to enjoy.
That's why we chose Tennessee to move to in 2026! We loved Cumberland Mountain and David Crockett State Parks. Until then we are traveling the US and Canada full-time in our RV! We're now in NH and our campsite has a 270 degree view of the White Mountains! Next comes Bar Harbor, ME and down the east coast to Floriday before heading back up to Banff, the Yukon and Alaska, then down the west coast. Thanks and be safe out there!
Caught me for a min thanks for sharing l was thinking hang on a second isnt that the old vehicle wheres the truck...then l read the description...what a great place...thanks for sharing regards Doc from Down Under
Glad to see you are in my neck of the Woods. I am 15 minutes from Jacob's Creek and have boondock camped there many times. The sunsets over the water are beautiful from Jacob's Creek Campground over looking South Holston Lake. The South Holston, drive over Dam, is nearby. Last time I was camping, there were Copper Head Snakes!! Glad you enjoyed our beautiful TN mtn views. Retired Lady Hiker Tennessee, always watching. Love your Videos
Love it as usual. I'll admit, it took me a few minutes to realize it was older. I noticed the Jeep and said, Hey, what's up. I like how you are going back and forth from camping to cabin. Keep them coming!!
Seeing the slate got my curiosity up as to the geology of that area. There were indeed slate roofing quarries and supply providers in Eastern Tennessee dating back into the late 1800s. You were in the right location to find it in those sedimentary stone layers.
I love kayaking! Several years ago I finally bought an SUV with roof racks, and two kayaks shortly after to fulfill my dream of going places to be on the water. And soon my partner got sick. Kayaks went to my coworker after few years of resting in the garage… Use any opportunity before it is too late!
NOTE FROM SLIM: From the video description: "Filmed in May 2023". Thanks!
I was fanna say nice new jeep 😄
I was about to ask if you traded your truck 👍
we been waiting for this one for a long time.
U need a pickle with that sandwich thank you for the pictures and the views 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for wonderful review of Tennessee! I love our state ❤
I live in Tennessee and it’s beautiful here.
I’m saving this one in my “ mental relaxation” file …. Oh the sound of the paddles!

Lovely area, beautiful rocks. Thanks Slim
Great shot of the moon's trajectory and the sunset in general. Nice work.
An unexpected gem from 2023. Most enjoyable.
Nice time lapse!

I love that campground! I have spent a lot of time hunting and fishing that area.
Around @ 4:12 mark, that silhouette shot (pick a frame and screenshot) would make a great T-Shirt. Definitely put your name/logo on it. You could do some cool color combos!
Tennessee is my home and I think the best state in America!
Thank you, Slim! I really enjoyed this video, the scenery was spectacular. I wrote down the name of the campground, it looked really nice. 🩷
Wonderful video Slim, that is a beautiful area
Nice, thanks😊
The best days are when you put out a new video. No matter what you do. Camping or cabin. You are such a remakable human. So soft and caring for nature and funny. Just wanted you to know. Never change.
I feel the same!
Nice to see the Liberty again. Had to double check to make sure it was a newly released video :)

Good fun video! Love Tennessee. Haven't been there a lot,but will change that soon thanks to you.
Brilliant comments about the kayak, Slim!
Thank Slim it was a hot day here and look good 👍
I love Tennessee..My home for years ,,😊😊😊 we welcome you
Beautiful area !!! ‼️‼️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸
We do bot care about the date/time when the video was filmed, an upload from Slim is an upload that is always welcomed. Period.
The quiet. Gorgeous
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
😅😂❤😊 love it.
Another beautiful, peaceful travel video with Slim! Thanks for the relaxing view of wild places in Tennessee!
very nice video, calm times on the water. Sounds like a great camp site, sure can't beat the price. We all met in Tenn. for a family reunion, several years ago.

Nice video, Inoticed when you were backing into your campsite you had your Jeep. So I knew this was an older video. Looks like a very calm place.

You got the jeep back. Lol

I live in East Tn and would never leave it! So calm and relaxing! Great visuals.....feels like I am right there!
Them Moon following Venus was a perfect shot.
Thank you so much for this video again. Needed the tranquility so much. And you telling the story is so peaceful
The sound of the paddles in the water was so relaxing ❤
I just love your travel videos so thank you from Australia for the effort you make to bring such peace and tranquility.
Beautiful video and it’s from your 2023 trip just indicates the amazing amount of fabulous video you shoot
Being on the water looks so calming 😊
I grew up in the Chattanooga area. Love the area and its natural resources.
Another great video, Slim. The kayak is worth bringing along, even for occasional use. Enjoyed the ride with you. Thanks for sharing.
That was incredible. The lake shots during & after sunset were surreal. The kayaking was immersive.
This was a great find in your video archive!
Patti Page singing "Tennessee Waltz" & "Rocky Top" are songs I think of when I think of Tennessee.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
There were some very nice video sequences in this one Slim. Bravo!
Mamimals lol that sure looks like a Relaxing time. As usual beautiful videography and narration , day made
When I hear Tennessee, I think Trae Crowder.
So glad to see you out on the water again. I have to sell mine due to a medical issue. Loved kayaking & camping but have to move on.
great stuff Slim thanks
Jacobs Creek truly is a peaceful place! Thank you! The time lapsed vision of the moon was awesome! Who knew you had this past video up your sleeve!💗
You make me want to kayak! Thanks for the video.
Would definitely love to visit that campsite for sure 👍
Beautiful!!!
Amazing site !
Love watching your kayaking adventures from NZ but please be careful wearing gumboots in your kayak, if you end up in the water they'll keep you from getting back on board, keep up the great content 👍
This is a beautiful place!
This video was an unexpected treat this time of year; thank you!
Agreed, love going to TN, very nice spot you found there.
Wow, what a campsite!!
I'm glad you mentioned this was 2023, i was "where's the Silverado? What did I miss?" LOL
👍👍

Thanks Slim I love it there so beautiful
Super job on the Timelapse of the lake.
Another great video. Glad you back tracked to release it. I also canoe during the summers in Ohio and we are very fortunate to have great waterways to enjoy.
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in my home state. I also recommend southern middle Tennessee.
Excellent time lapse of the moon!
Never have you smiled as much as when you broke away from shore paddlin
Love the moon and Venus time lapse!
One of your best Slim. We enjoyed it very much.
So peaceful slim!❤❤❤
I'm glad to see you doing more camping videos again. Even if it's an older video.

Wow, gorgeous! Thanks for sharing Slim. Saved to my favorite places to camp.
You were about an hour from my place. I’m glad you enjoyed the area.
I was confused at first, but I am glad to see the old footage. Keep editing and uploading, Slim!
Your the greatest Thing since sliced bread, I love ur vedeos Joe from mi...missouri
Great looking campground ❤
Love it as usual. I'll admit, it took me a few minutes to realize it was older. I noticed the Jeep and said, Hey, what's up. I like how you are going back and forth from camping to cabin. Keep them coming!!
What a beautiful place. Another great find, well done.
Thank you for this serene, beautiful trip. I am in Florida and with all the crazy going on in the US now, I really needed this. Thanks!
Love this I camp out there all the time as I live in Bristol.
Land Between the Lakes and The Natchez Trace are must visit.
Thanks Slim that was tranquil👍
Lots of tranquil beauty here in Tennessee, and nice folks, too. 😊
yep that was just supremely relaxing....continued safe travels...

My wife and I loved camping there...awesome
Thanks for the description I was wondering about your truck. Now I know.
