Dear Mr. Potatohead, Here in Northern Vermont the snow keeps falling, and my husband and I keep walking the same narrow paths through the snow in our yard. Cabin fever inside, and repetitive path shoveling outside, if you catch my drift.......Hah! THANK YOU for all the beautiful vistas, the close-ups of wildflowers, cactus, cool rock formations, interesting facts, but mostly we thank you for your sense of humor. Your cache of cool videos has gotten us through the past two months. Here's to more Slim Potatohead, can't wait for your next video!!
I just love Slim's soothing voice while narrating his great vlogs . I feel like I'm watching a National Geographic's TV program . I'd love to meet him real soon .
Slim you have found your calling. I have traveled over 2 million miles around N. America, mostly as a tour bus operator, but I did also bicycle across Canada in 88 and motorcycle around N. America early 80’s. You reignite a fire in me. You are popular in the Philippines, as an American expat and I discuss our TH-cam viewing, while early morning walking . You are also one of his favs...may your travels continue with the wind at your back...
So you live in the Philippines? Will you ever move back to America? I have an expat friend in Thailand and he loves it. I've visited him a few times over there.
I truck camped in the low lands and to get the insects out of the back of my camper, I set up my Coleman Lantern on it's 5 foot pole about 30 feet away. It drew the insects and that drew the bats for a feast. Spent half the night watching the great aerial show.
Wonderful. That is how the border should be everywhere. That is the way it was everywhere when i was growing up. Walk across into Mexico and walk back later. No fuss no muss and no walls or fences.
I found Boquillas on my first trip to the park in 1978. No electric to the town then, just some individual generators. On my most recent trip last summer, I stopped at the Santa Elena overlook and my dog crossed the river to the Mexico. Fortunately, he listens well and came right back without causing an international incident. Thanks for all the adventures, Slim. Have fun!
Another Great and Informative video. I don't know why you're not a multi award winning narrator , (perhaps you are?) I guess you must be too busy Living the dream to be tied to a studio. Any Production Company would be fortunate to have you on their payroll. Thanks for all the wonderful Videos Mr. Slim. As always , I can't wait for the next one.
@@tenminutetokyo2643 This is an inappropriate forum for you to air your grievances. Your comments say more about you than those against the object of your wrath.
You out did yourself with this gem. I love the way you always pick the right music to match your artistic images. The tour of places I have yet to travel is just the icing on the cake. Thanks for all your work!
What an amazing place!!!!! Especially wading into Mexico for lunch! The beautiful views, rocks, caverns, flowers are just breathtaking. Once again your photography and videography is exceptional. I wish your videos could be televised! Thanks for sharing with us, your most fortunate viewers!
As a native Texan, Big Bend has always been my favorite place to camp. My father took me when I was a boy and now I take my kiddo. The Aliner has held it's own even on some rocky trails. Excellent video Slim!
Like many of the others have stated...this has to be one of your best videos. You piece together a complete story of a unique experience replete with fantastic photography, outstanding vistas, an introduction to Big Bend, and a non-traditional visit Mexico without all of the controversy and ugliness that is going on today. You blended in with the people of the town of Boquillas de Carmen, enjoyed their hospitality, and presented them in a positive manner. I would never have known of the town of Boquillas without your video. Wading across the Rio Grande as you did conjured up images of reverse immigration. I had some trepidation of you walking among the rocks and caves in spring time due to rattlesnakes coming out of hibernation and you with those tennis shoes. But you addressed this by giving a tally of one snake and no scorpions. Your subtle humor was displayed with the comment of "getting off their Ass" and walking to the village. Well done. Also I hope that the message behind "No al Muro" did not elude too many viewers. This video is truly commercial grade. Well done and thank you. Big thumbs up.
LOVED it!!... Been wanting to go there..... Now I am excited to go!.... Thanks Slim! You put some really hard work in your Video's and it is Amazing!.... Great job!
I was in West Texas last week camping with my family at Fort Davis. I thought of you. I’m soooo glad you got to experience Big Bend. It is by far my favorite part of the world. It’s just magic. I’m sure you felt it.
Awwww, I think that little tan chihuahua wanted to go with you. Thanks for getting off your ass....I'm sure the ass appreciated it. That's insane how much the weather changed, but like you said "surreal ". I just look forward to your videos so much; the beauty, the spectacular sights, the humor. Thanks so much for sharing.
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Very relaxing, but never boring. I take my hat off to you. You're doing what I'm sure the rest of us wish we could do. So, for now, I'll just have to enjoy the adventures through you. Thanks for sharing all these beautiful places with all of us. I wish you safe travels, good health and a long life. Enjoy it while you can. Thanks again.
Thanks a bunch Slim for another awesome video. I bet you crossed the Rio Grande more than twice for placing of the camera for your back & forth shots......also, nice inspiring chant. So much to appreciate, God bless you.
Thank you Slim for another wonderful video. You are a great storyteller, artist, photographer/videographer, and soundtrack creator. I especially enjoy your selection of music and the way you don’t let it overpower the music. Always a job well done.
The difficult part about primitive camping out there is that you can't reserve a spot by phone. You have to drive out there for a reservation, making it a rather useless perk. The best thing to do is to get there early or travel there in off-peak times. It's truly beautiful.
Once again Slim you have produced another awesome video of your travels. The scenery was beautiful and you made it at the perfect time of year to capture it on film, well done. I will put this on my list of places to visit, thanks
Love all your vids. You have a way with the camera and a way with telling the story, makes me want to visit all your discoveries myself. Amazing the contrast from one hot day to the next day's rare frosty landscape.
Slim is the MAN! Look at this.... out of 1.6K views only 15 morons gave a thumbs down. You've got to know you're doing a hell of a lot right. One of my two favorite, relaxing, channels to watch. Bravo! Edited for poor contractions.
October 5, 2024 Maryland,, USA: I always love your puns but “get off your Ass” had me laughing out loud in an environment that others were in! I got it the donkey reference. Whoa, the weather changed so drastically and agree like being in a dream. The music and your narration just added more of class. The yellow flowers peeping out of the rocks show us how even though in a desert there is beauty. I think this whole experience was a Zen time in Big Ben. Watching you take a break at the end of the day and having your dinner is the perfect ending of the day. Thank you again. 😊
This was a very well filmed video. Big Bend Park, the little Mexican town and eerie morning back at the park. Then the little Buddhist chant gave us a little bit more information about you. Thank you.
You took me back to my childhood Slim. I was born in a town north from Big Bend. A small town, Ojinaga in the state of Chihuahua. Your crossing of the river really took me back, as kids we would go back and forth. Not to day... Thanks for the great trip back in time.
Just beautiful! I guess I'm going to keep repeating myself because your videos just keep getting more beautiful all the time. I'm not sure what else to say other than when your videos come in, I get really happy and like another viewer said, your videos are like therapy!
Great videos and pictures Slim. I've got a playlist of your videos I'm catching up on. You've shown me so much of America that I never considered traveling to.
Shoot, we missed you Slim. We were in Big Bend early March. It stands out in my mind, I was so spiritually blessed by our time there camping in the Chisos mountain campground. Loved this video it took me back Thank you for all your work.
Again, your videos are such a joy! You have such a talent for composing the beautiful scenery and poetically narrating! They engulf me in relaxation as well as providing travel destination tips! As always, thanks for the lovely and informative videos, Slim!! :)
I had a dream to do what you do, but your videos are so well done and off the beaten path, I feel like I've done it already due to your way of making us feel like we're there with you. Thanks for taking us on your adventures.
That's Texas weather for you. Hang around 5 minutes and it'll change! Hope you had a great time in our fair state Mr. Slim and that you were treated well. Happy trails.

Its like listening to Marlin Perkins on Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom from when I was a kid. Great job👍👍
Exactly! I had never connected the 2 until you mentioned it but now I definitely see the resemblances in their presentations
Your videos are like a therapy session. Thanks for taking the time to share your travels.
I just love Slim's soothing voice while narrating his great vlogs . I feel like I'm watching a National Geographic's TV program . I'd love to meet him real soon .
Therapy session without $150/hr. ☀
Pepe here. What is ASMR? Mahalo Nui Loa.
So when you get back to Canada, you can tell people you walked to Mexico during the winter....LOL
I KNOW....THANKS MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO PUT THESE TOGETHER.....JOLLY GOOD
After watching a majority of your video's, i believe this is your best! Everything about it is magical. Fun to watch. Thanks
Slim you have found your calling. I have traveled over 2 million miles around N. America, mostly as a tour bus operator, but I did also bicycle across Canada in 88 and motorcycle around N.

Wow...I had never seen anything about Big Bend Park....the pics were great
I love that u waded across😊
I truck camped in the low lands and to get the insects out of the back of my camper, I set up my Coleman Lantern on it's 5 foot pole about 30 feet away. It drew the insects and that drew the bats for a feast. Spent half the night watching the great aerial show.
Thanks for coming! I've lived in Texas all my life. Thanks for showing us Texans, Our Texas! I love your videos!
Wonderful. That is how the border should be everywhere. That is the way it was everywhere when i was growing up. Walk across into Mexico and walk back later. No fuss no muss and no walls or fences.

Awesome!
Thank you.
That place was just magical! I love you’re photography, it captures the beauty and essence of the place.
That shot of the yellow sunset, the frost , those yellow flowers and the weathered rock shots- magical! Gracias Senor Cabeza de patata delgada!
They just get better and better.
Wow! We couldn't believe the change overnight, truly wonderful. Thanks Slim
Nice job! Really demonstrated old adage "just wait a minute and the weather in Texas will change."
Brings back memories. It's been 18-20 years since I was at Big Bend. Thanks for sharing!
You've made my week, Slim. You have no idea how much I look forward to your weekly Monday morning video
You must have found this park after some rains in spring bloom. Surprisingly beautiful.
My late wife and I spent many enjoyable trips to Big Bend. Your video brought back many wonderful memories!! Thank you!
Another Great and Informative video. I don't know why you're not a multi award winning narrator , (perhaps you are?) I guess you must be too busy Living the dream to be

Any Production Company would be fortunate to have you on their payroll.
Thanks for all the wonderful Videos Mr. Slim. As always , I can't wait for the next one.
Dennis Steele Companies today and are cheap and hate employees.

That sky is just crystal blue, along with those blue bonnets, my fav! Enjoy!
Slim should really have his own television show on the travel channel, so good !
That sky at 1:30 is incredible. Ok. I’ll finish watching now. Stay safe and keep the adventure coming!!

Oh your so right it is a magical place. Great video Slim. Just kept me with my mouth open at each new beautiful turn
Thank you for that frosty desert scene!

Great video, a natural at story telling.
Excellent video Slim!Love your videos very well narrated!Thank you
Awwww, I think that little tan chihuahua wanted to go with you.
Thanks for getting off your ass....I'm sure the ass appreciated it.

I just look forward to your videos so much; the beauty, the spectacular sights, the humor. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow! Thanks for taking me back there. Happy travels!
Thanks, Slim. TX is huge, would love to see more through your lens.
Same size as Alberta

Another good job slim,its nice to see a place where peace and solitude still exist.
Thanks a bunch Slim for another awesome video. I bet you crossed the Rio Grande more than twice for placing of the camera for your back & forth shots......also, nice inspiring chant. So much to appreciate, God bless you.
Love that park, camped there many times when I went to Sul Ross State in Alpine.....lots of history around those parts....
You have a poet's way with words that I find soothing, descriptive and even inviting. Keep sharing.
Your videos have it all. Scenery, weather, food, restaurant. That part of the country is so surreal. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video as always Slim you always provide great content and comfort THANKS.
Thank you Slim for another wonderful video. You are a great storyteller, artist, photographer/videographer, and soundtrack creator. I especially enjoy your selection of music and the way you don’t let it overpower the music. Always a job well done.
WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS!
i was just in big bend last week! can’t help but think of how incredible it’d have been to go soak in the hot springs that frosty morning!
Big Bend has the most amazing backcountry camping. It’s great that you got to enjoy it.
This is amazing, your vidios show us real America. Thankyou.
Very enjoyable views of a place I've never been to. Love all the close ups of flowers, rocks and other incidentals.
That looks like a nice place to visit. Not many National Parks that aren't crowded.
The difficult part about primitive camping out there is that you can't reserve a spot by phone. You have to drive out there for a reservation, making it a rather useless perk. The best thing to do is to get there early or travel there in off-peak times. It's truly beautiful.
Every time I think you have created the all time best travel video you manage to top it. Yet another absolute best.
Excellent!! Big Bend has always fascinated me!
Wow, those rocks are something to behold.
Once again Slim you have produced another awesome video of your travels. The scenery was beautiful and you made it at the perfect time of year to capture it on film, well done. I will put this on my list of places to visit, thanks
excellent footage, and edit. good story, and good pictures Slim. Thanks!
Superb as always !
Beautiful area senor Slim. What a gorgeous park and sparse crowds too!! Love always the plants and animals.
Love all your vids. You have a way with the camera and a way with telling the story, makes me want to visit all your discoveries myself. Amazing the contrast from one hot day to the next day's rare frosty landscape.
I like the music shift as you arrive in Mexico! Very appropriate!
Nature is the best artist of all. Loved the frosty morning 😍
Slim is the MAN! Look at this.... out of 1.6K views only 15 morons gave a thumbs down. You've got to know you're doing a hell of a lot right. One of my two favorite, relaxing, channels to watch. Bravo!

That had to be the BEST video I've seen on you tube! Thank you! It was beautiful...the frost in the forest...truly was dreamy. Thank you for sharing.
Just beautiful! I guess I'm going to keep repeating myself because your videos just keep getting more beautiful all the time. I'm not sure what else to say other than when your videos come in, I get really happy and like another viewer said, your videos are like therapy!

Your videos are fantastic and inspiring. Thank you!
Favorite traveler !!! Hands down
Always pleasure to watch all your great adventures 💯👍
I absolutely love Big Bend and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Your'e so right, you can never see all of it in one trip.
Wow!! The stars!!!👍👍👍 Great stuff👍👍👍👍
Beautiful video Slim! My son and I really enjoyed it. He said it was his favorite one.
You are an amazing photographer!! I love your positive attitude!!🙌🏻🦋💜
Mr. Slim, this one was so good I watched it three times....bravo!
Thanks rhondalyn. You probably know it better than me! SP
I had a dream to do what you do, but your videos are so well done and off the beaten path, I feel like I've done it already due to your way of making us feel like we're there with you. Thanks for taking us on your adventures.
This may well be your best cinematography yet. Very well done. Thanks.
Welcome to Texas! So glad you got to see our Bluebonnets! Wonderful video. Thank you so much.
That's Texas weather for you. Hang around 5 minutes and it'll change! Hope you had a great time in our fair state Mr. Slim and that you were treated well. Happy trails.
This is one of my favorite videos.
Great video, really enjoyed my beloved plants....Thanks Danusia
That was an amazing video! Spectacular! Thanks Slim! 👍👌😀
