I was watching on the edge of my seat during your drive through the mud. Good job, great video. Thanks.
LOL.. I could FEEL Slim praying as he headed up mud hill!!! Good Job.
Agree! I felt like I was in the passenger seat.
I don't comment much but I just want to say thank you for sharing, your videos are wonderful.
Always makes my day when ya post a new video, And your photography work is second to none ! Thank Goodness for 4 wheel drive !
As usual, I am caught up in your amazing story telling ability. Your optimism and keen eye for the beauty around you is well captured and presented for us all to enjoy. Thank you!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Beautiful little bird at 9:04

@@jodigriffith8760 Thank you for answering my unasked question.
I enjoy your sense of humor. You are definitely the best storyteller on youtube. Nice explanation of the different parts of the Badlands.

I could have easily watched 15mins of the bison walking and drinking and hearing the natural sounds of the park,great vid though
Your videos are second to none in my opinion. I love them. I get pretty excited when i see a new one from you. Thank you for showing so much of the beauty that's around.
such beautiful material shared here. Thanks for doing that and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.
Absolutely gorgeous scenery! Sorry about so much rain. But, in the end it was so sunny and beautiful. Look forward to more of your flawless videos, Slim. ❤️
Love that Roosevelt Park area........what beauty and the majestic bison roaming about as a bonus. Thanks, Slim!!!
Through your photography you captured the amazing views, the rain, the fog and the mud. And, your wonderful narration together with your stellar photography delivered a very intelligent and enjoyable video. Thank you.
Spectacular videography. I especially enjoyed the rainy scenes. Thanks for the beautiful video!
beautiful story slim !!! really enjoy your presentation of life on the road !!!
I absolutely love watching your weather videos! So calming
Liked it despite the muddy bits ... boy, that closing clip has some real money shots in it!
Thanks for showing folks the little darker side camper travel. The Bad Lands area is certainly one of our treasures.
I'll be retiring soon. Thank you for the videos and your commentary that give me all kinds of ideas.
The North Unit is one of our favorite places. Always a must camp when we travel from Spokane to Fargo to visit family.
Your 'escape from Muddy Point Camp with your trailer in tow served as a test for both of us, Slim. Fortunately, the outcomes were good. You made the escape and I got confirmation that my 'pucker reflex' is in good working order! Your persistence enabled you to get some great scenic and wildlife footage to share with us (your viewers), too. Many thanks for another very watchable episode.
Thanks for bringing us along Slim, very much enjoyed.
Lovely travelvideo. Very professional made just like your other videos. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
If you listen closely, proof that those sheep were Canadian, as they passed in front of the camera you can hear "sorry, sorry..".
Sublime Slim. Love the bison and long horn sheep. Great views, rain or otherwise!
WOW such incredible landscapes..💜the Bison🙏👍🙂🇦🇺
Hi. I've been to the Theodore Roosevelt national park before, with my husband and two children many years ago. Lovely place to visit. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. 👍
Wasn't too much fun for you... I enjoyed the trip and the photo/videography. Thanks.
When you yere in Badlands National park l thought you wrongfully went to Mars. l mean the jagged cliffs on the horizon looked like Mars' surface. Thank you.
Hahahahaha Nickleback, nice. Great bit of driving there Slim. Cheers!!!
Loved the Nickleback comment as well. Might have added Bieber.
Oh God not him too. Cheers!!!
You had me on the edge of my seat for a minute or so there!
Beautiful ending of the video. Thanks. Granny Fan
👍 Hi Slim! Another fine Vid! I love weather like this. Cheers!
Watching a SP video at the beginning of any day always puts spring in my step, a smile on my lips, & a glint in my eye.
Badlands are incredible. Been through it a few times on motorcycle. Be safe!
Cool video. Thank you for sharing
Great video - you are a great speaker - you always put your videos together in a nice way - love them all!! Wisconsin Dave
David B. Yes , I agree , He sure does . He sounds like your watching a Travel Video or The National Geographic TV Show or a Rick Steve's Travel Video in Europe and other over seas countries .
Sorry better than Rick Steves...
Way to go Slim...you have special gifts...tnx fer sharin
You were very lucky that the bison didn't stop by and want to share the risotto. The ending scenes were just gorgeous. I've just got to get to the Dakotas one day. Take care.
Great video footage of the Sheep running by. Amazing terrain!
Amazing countryside 😯
Mushroom risotto with peas for the win! That is a staple of mine as well. Great video, and thanks for sharing some of the more difficult terrain you've attempted to camp on rather than just the highlights. It's a good lesson for those watching.
Wow!!!!
Thanks for the great video. I’ll be heading there this summer for sure.
I love how you didn't end the video at Badlands with the dreary rain and all. Good thinking on heading north. Nice video towards end.
Perfect place for the plains animals 😺
You're the only youtube channel that i rewatch video's and not skipping and just straight watch the whole thing again.
Ahhh. My home state (ND). Thanks for the looksee. Badlands look like another planet.
Bad weather... challenging and actually beautiful. What a nice adventure! I am hoping to see this part of the country, as well. Stay safe out there!
WOW! One of your best..... you need a tv show. LOVED the bison shots. Made my heart soar. Thanks for these wonderful videos. Glad you found the sun too~
Slim, it's been a very wet May. Lot's of rain in Montana.
Great video under the circumstances.
Hahaha, “ I sure hope they weren’t listening to nickelback “ , same! So funny! Excellent video as always .
What a sweet little bird with a sweet little song.
Once again, excellent video. Thank you. The Meadowlark is my favorite bird and seeing that made my day. Then the little bash of my least favorite band....hahaha! Good stuff 👍
I love nickelback
I love to watch your story telling ,,and the views
You always provide such wonderful photography, Slim!
Another piece of art work!
The Badlands have a special feeling. Have to go back.
No just Canadians with pop up trailers need radio collars. Kidding love you brother thumbs up stay Awsome.
Thank you for sharing your adventure
Now that was a lot of rain. But your and excellent driver and you made your way out of that mess. So happy you found some sunshine and buffalo turned out to be a wonderful end to the video.
Just amazing!
Great vid SP. Love it!
Beautiful!
Stunning photography, thank you!!
This is the reason I follow your channel. Views I’ll never get to experience in person but I immerse myself in your videos and just drift along in my mind. If you know what I mean. 😁
You describe so eloquently what you are seeing,. That is such a gift, thank you for sharing.
Sure enjoyed this one, especially seeing the Canadian transplants!
So awesome! Once again...
This is El Nino related, so best to go with the flow in that this spring/early summer won't be the usual weather patterns we see (minus anything related to climate change). Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the video!
Most Excellent!
This is a good lesson for weight of trailer, suitable campsites, and checking weather. Lessons learned. 👍
So beautiful!

Getting out of your camping spot was a nail biter....hate driving in mud. Nice seeing the wildlife and views, I enjoy your videos.

Stunning footage of wildlife! Makes up for the prior rainy misery. Loved your quiet ending with natural sights & sounds, Tks for sharing your adventures!!
I enjoy all your videos, Slim, but this one rises to the top of my favorites. Thank you. Lee
Damn! You had me praying that you, your jeep and A-liner would make it out. That was a little harrowing. Sorry you had so much rain but as always a wonderful video. Thanks!
Great video, Slim. Thank you!
Beautiful! Even the rainy part.
I was holding my breath while you were driving in the mud tracks.
Much better after going north.
Happy trails and thank you for another great video.😊
