    Slim, loved the intro in the rear view mirror. I said to myself "Hey, Slim is really looking professional now". Little did I know. Your photography, lighting and subject matter are outstanding. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Slim, I just purchased a lazy days RV I’ve been Boondocking for about six weeks hassled by security and The man. What an experience! And yet I am a very fortunate man I have my home on wheels and it’s nice. I plan on hitting all 48 states in the contiguous United States. Watching your video is an inspiration for me. Thank you very much Slim !

    Slim- this was a magnificent video. Your appreciation for your environment combined with your storytelling skills and videography/photography was at its best. The music...everything. I loved the mud patterns!!! And I seriously would purchase a copy of that 3rd still photograph at the end. Can I?

      Hi Shalome, Thanks for your kind words. I put some images on my blog which I assume can be downloaded. I'm still learning how to do things online but will figure it out. Go to the "About" section and send me an email. Thanks Again! Slim

    Slim,
    I was working photographer for 25 years and as a result I’m incredibly picky, and I have to say your videos are consistently superb. This one may be my favorite thus far.
    You’re a photographic eye, editing, pacing, choice of music, script writing and narrative skills- all in perfect balance. I very much appreciate these videos since in my retirement I am doing quite a bit of traveling with our camper.
    Thanks again!

    Some of the most interesting stuff in the desert areas of the western US are right at your feet. While dry camping near Quartzite AZ, I was poking around near my tent camper and found a flat rock about the size of a small cookie embedded at eye level in saguaro cactus. How fascinating that before I arrived, who knows how long ago, the winds had blown hard enough to pick that rock up and fling it hard enough to stick it in that tough old cactus hide.

    @newwayrvadventures718 5 лет назад

    Another great video. While I appreciate all the tips/tricks/gear videos online, you are my favorite "storyteller" on RUclips. You obviously put a lot of passion into creating scripts, setting scenes, and shaping a narrative. I give presentations for a living (avoiding Death By Powerpoint), I storyboard my slides with images like a movie vs. filling the screen with words. Since the human person is hardwired for story, I've learned that's what really helps people remember your content - when images connect head and heart. I hit the road part-time with my rescu-er Bella in a Promaster City with a Wayfarer Van conversion. I was just in Valley of Fire and Gold Butte a couple of weeks ago. Still nippy, but perfect weather for hiking. I camped in Virgin River and Valley of Fire. I stopped at Poverty Flats along the way, but it was way too windy up there at the time. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! Here's my quick Valley of Fire video ruclips.net/video/sbdjnv7HPLo/видео.html

    Every video is unique. I am getting a lot of information from your travels, and I will be traveling to the Valley of Fire. I like Nevada. I see the intro image of your A trailer and the early morning light against the mountains as a cover photo for a magazine with a title: Traveling solo in the A-liner in the American Southwest. After the rain the colors pop in the desert atmosphere, good photography.

  • @H.pylori
    @H.pylori 7 лет назад +1

    Unbelievably good photos of Valley of Fire. The colors were perfect. I have driven past that mesa south of Overton and seen the campers up there, and never gave it a thought. Now I know that it is Poverty Flats. Based on your video I have to go back to Valley of Fire again. Since you are close to Las Vegas, I assume that you will be visiting Lake Mead and Red Rock recreation areas. If so, will treat you to a great meal at the restaurant of your choice. Also look up camping in the Mojave National Preserve in California near Baker. Continue the Journey!

    • @SlimPotatohead

    Slim, Thanks for the great video. We have only made it as far west as Moab. Last fall, (2017) We were going to go to Hoover Dam and do a jeep Trail just west of Vegas then come up thru Southern Utah and see some of the National Parks and National Monuments plus Valley of Fire S P. Due to a death in the family and also an Illness we were unable to complete the trip. But, come fall 2018 I hope to get to make the trip. Still have all the info laid out just have to pick the dates and make the reservations.
