Check out Three Sisters springs in Crystal River FL between November and March. We were down there around Thanksgiving and there were literally hundreds of them!
Hello Slim. As a neurotic about ticks from a couple year fight with Lyme Disease I highly endorse Permethrin. The first time I hiked with treated pants, the ticks would act like their feet were on fire. After a bit they would just fall off. Peace.
I'm in total agreement with your Permethrin comments. It is really an insecticide, not just a repellent. The US military, as well as the Canadian, has used this for many years - soaking clothes in it. In fact, it can be bought by the gallon in concentrate and mixed with water to be used in an atomizing sprayer killing yellow flies in Florida's springtime and mosquitoes all summer.
You never disappoint Slim. Your beautiful wildlife photography never ceases to amaze. I get to see things that I probably wouldn’t get to see without you, thanks for the adventure.
Lovely Manatees! I had the privilege of snorkeling with them in Crystal River FL and swimming and feeding them at a wildlife rescue in Mexico (they get stuck in senotes and once rescued and nursed back to health, they often won't leave).
Watching this episode has been a great end to my one day a week off work. I just love watching and listening to your travels. I am counting the days until I retire in May after 50 years service with just the one company since leaving school back in 1972. I can then just load up my truck and trailer and go dissapear wherever the fancy takes me. Take care and safe travels. David in the U.K.
At the beginning of the pandemic I bought a set of Wahl clippers from Amazon. I think they were $40. For a year, I did my own hair (2 on the sides, 8 on the top, 4 in between). I only went back to my barber when shutdowns ended because I knew her business was struggling. I think my hair looked better when I did it. 😂
We did the same thing except I had my wife cut my hair. It saved money and most of the time I were a hat anyway so you can’t tell if my hair has a fancy or a cheap hair cut anyway. I definitely encourage others to do the same.
Oh my God you brought tears to my eyes I love the manatees. As a former Floridian this brought back childhood memories. Those beautiful creatures are so amazing and yet tortured at times by intentional cruel people and careless motorboat incidents. The music was perfect with your footage also thank you so much for sharing❤️
You musta found the BEST manatee spot.. those are awesome shots. I love how you just capture how they meander along living their best sea cow life. BTW I think I mentioned in my recipe suggestions, other grains like barley, quinoa and millet, but if I didn't.. they keep and are about as easy as rice. I have since learned that it's best to wash quinoa thoroughly and that might waste more water, but no reason you can't make a batch and eat it over a few days. I love it in salad too.
Hi Slim, Here in New Brunswick, it's not only very cold but we're submerged under an unprecedented amount of snow - being subjected to two major and consecutive snowstorms. Evidently, you've made the right decision to head down south this winter!
As always Slim, your movie editing is amazing and you segue into different scenes masterfully with the most appropriate musical selections. Loved my little time with you boondocking down south.
Here in the US we refer to that southern end of Florida as a peninsula Slim. Your video is far from subtle. It is stunning, especially to someone watching from frozen Oklahoma. My old Botany Professor used to take us out is the wild and insisted we dust our socks and shoes with powdered Sulphur to keep ticks off of us. We spent a lot of time tramping the wilds and I never got a tick. It's natural, cheap and very effective to repel both insects and arachnids.
Seeing all those manatees together was amazing! I had no idea they would do that! Another great video, Slim! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Safe travels!
Great campsite! Love the scenery. We all love your videos for many reasons but you know I think you fixing issues, repairs, etc. are always my favorite part!
Hi there Slim, I lived in Florida for 20 years on the St. John’s river. I’m sure you probably know that the St. John’s river flows south to north. I now live on the Mississippi River in Iowa. I’m just a river girl at heart.
Im truly loving these latest videos slim. The live? Was a pure delight. I cant tell you how much fun watching these new vids are watching the joy on your face from being on the road.
Loved every minute of the manatee portion. We were down in Florida in December and caught a glimpse of one. Had no idea we could see so many in one place.
being from Florida. I can totally relate to this video. I’ve been to all those places you’ve been to, and loved every minute of it. Thank you slim for the video . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like subtle. Manatees are subtle. Sorry to see you leave. It was nice knowing you enjoyed our state. Thanks for showing it off so well. And thanks for the info on water management areas. Another camping opportunity I’ll have to look into. Thanks again for a great video.
This was great!! I live here in south Florida but I have become so accustomed to the beauty that I forgot how really beautiful it is. Thanks for the reminder.
slim when i watch your videos i feel at peace i feel like iam there thank you so much i been sick for awhile and it makes me feel alot better knowing the places you have been i feel like iam there with you peace be with you in the new year god bless you
Ohhhhhhhh I can’t wait till it’s time for him to work on his cabin. I do a lot of things by myself and it’s just inspiring to see him tackling such a large project!
I luv Blue Springs. It's wonderful to see the manatees come in during the winter months. Thanks for visiting my state this trip. looking forward to see your next stops.
oh my goodness... sooo relaxing for my 2nd cup of coffee... love how you endorse subtlety then go find something amazing to film...and love all your repairs, you're teaching this ol' gal a lot....
I've had great luck with that tape and never bothered to clean the area. It easily added 5 years to the life of my old awning material until I finally did replace it. A common source of failure on older awnings is on the ends of the material where the bead slides into the track on the camper. Even slight breezes puts a strain there. You might consider putting some there before a tear starts- a stitch in time saves nine!
Omy goodness! Thanks for sharing, I couldn't believe my eyes with the birds and water creatures. (Sea cows) We are from Wisconsin and we don't see things like that here. May have to plan a trip there someday 🙏 ❤️
I love the manatee - gentle giants - have seen them several times on visits to Florida. It's always such a shame to see them hurt by the propeller's of power boats.
I love Blue Springs State Park. We live in Central Florida and understand how hard it is to find a space. Try Kissimmee State Park. We enjoyed it. Bok Tower gardens is in Lake Wales. Beautiful carillon music, plants, and ponds. We also like the keys. You must make it to Key West at least once in your life. Very unique. Another favorite is Fort DeSoto. Hard to get a place, close together, but right on the water. It's a county park. Pinellas, I think. Saint George Island in the pan handle is beautiful. Big dunes, beautiful water. Look for a crazy old lady waving as you go down the road, that will be me.
Hi Slim. Nice video. I also use the Sawyer insect repellent. I get it on Amazon. My son in-law told me about it. He said he and his wife went hiking, he had it on and she didn't. They found a few ticks on her clothes and on him one dead one. Haven't had any on my clothes or my dog. Yes, can be used on dogs but not cats. Steady as she goes, happy trails.
I was born and raised in Arkansas and I've travel a lot of different states while working before I retired but to me there is no place like my home state. You need to try to come to our state sometime I don't think you would be disappointed. This was another great video please keep them coming. I've been following you for a while now back when you were doing all the work on the A-frame camper.
Lovely video! I resided in Vero Bch. FL fir 29 yrs. Now in Virginia ( beautiful state pks!) We used to have Manatee come down our canal and we would give them water from a hose. 🥰 Your footage was extraordinarily beautiful of the peaceful manatees. We are camping on the east coast of FL in Feb.. Then to Ocala Ntl Forest before heading home.. We pull a small trailor as well. Happy travels. 🛣
Hey Slim. Glad you had better luck seeing the manatee's than we did back in December. At Manatee State park it just wasn't our day. So darn it, guess I'll just have to go back sometime.
Thanks for reminding me to appreciate the "subtle" moments. I'm out in the Sonoran Desert south of Buckeye and nothing is going on. Good. But the wind is driving dust and the rain may come tomorrow so it is exciting after all. Great footage of the Manatees. You might have mentioned how the scars on their back are caused by motor boat propellor blades.
Funny, my wife and I were traveling in Virginia at the same time you were, we did stop in Blue Springs State Park and had a great time as well, the Manatee count on your day was significantly higher than our day so congratulations on getting to see these amazing animals. We have since moved on to Arizona and California. Safe Travels!
Slim - Don’t know whether it was my mood or the great quality of the video , but this is one of your most enjoyable videos…outstanding. Well done, sir…you are an inspiration! Tom in The Hat
As always - a most excellent video. I'm from Florida. Your shots were absolutely representative of the wildlife and the terrain. Although, of course, the manatee footage was spectacular, my favorite shot was the one of you sitting in and amongst those massive oak tree branches, and, perhaps, tongue-in-cheek, talking about subtleties. Wow! One easily accessed place that I recommend, off the beaten path with a plethora of wildlife - to include wild boars, which are not much appreciated by Florida farmers, is Babcock Ranch in Punta Gorda. It's a working cattle ranch that offers tours via big-tired buses that carry you over miles of dry, marshy, and swampy areas - even through a cypress swamp, a very bumpy ride indeed (my camera went flying). Thank you for sharing your journey!!
I hate being outside in the summer because of ticks. One of my aunt's had so many ticks on her she almost died. I'm just not a outdoor person that's why I enjoy watching ur videos. 💜
I camped next to a cow pasture on Manitoulin Island in Ontario while on a bicycle tour. It was just a place to sleep for a couple of nights. I could hear the cattle moving around and grazing at night but we didn't bother each other!
Yeah, those cows are descended from Brahma cattle brought over from India. They are drought, heat and humidity tolerant, perfect for Florida weather! Maybe not as placid as those in this comment, though. They are often used as rodeo stock, so keep your distance!
😲Wow....you hit the jackpot of finding all those Manatees!😁. For years, most Floridian’s always have said “they don’t like their own water!” Were those bear paw prints?!😳🤔. Nice video, thanks Mr. Slim! Have a a Great week!🥰
in addition to what you were saying about awkwardly walking into a loud crowded bar that suddenly goes silent........ the music stops too, followed by the sound of the needle scraping across the record......skrrrrrrrr.
Good idea to spray the clothes down, some rubber gloves would have been a good idea too. I used to work as a land surveyor and ticks were a big concern. Something we used to do is use dog tick collars around our boots, some even wove them into a belt through the loops on their jeans. Preventic collars are pricey, but the best. I highly recommend this method.
Hi Slim! Re:Permethrin-dont go to the washroom??? .....seems strange but here's the reason...chemicals can get into your system various ways inhalation, ingestion, ABSORPTION. Your skin's thickness varies on your body, and therefore spilling a pesticide on the outside of your arm(thicker) will take longer to be absorbed into your body than a thin skinned area(almost immediately). What are those areas? Any mucus membranes, eyes, places you sweat,armpits, groin areas. So even residue on hands touching groin area could give you a toxicity exposure greater than spilling on your arm and washing off quickly! Now, the consumer ready to use products aren't nearly as bad as mixing the pure chemical, but it's multiple exposures in these innocent often unrealized ways that cause toxicity problems
As with any insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides etc, always wash your hands before using the washroom. Absorption is the most common way for chemicals to enter your body.
Love the way you capture wildlife and nature in places that people tend to forget about Love your craftsmanship ship of the visual and your choice of audio 😍 Especially enjoyed the Sea Cow footage
Hello Slim, We are loving your videos, as we spend yet another winter here in Nova Scotia. We would normally be exploring the south west of the US in our Transit van, but here we are. We have embraced the winter life here , OK we are really trying to embrace winter life here, but love traveling the US with you. All the best . Ben and Sue
Great video as always Slim. I know you opted not to put the permethrin on your socks. You might consider putting it on some tall socks and wear shorter ankle style socks underneath the treated socks so that you can wash those regularly. Thanks again for the great video.
The manatee portion was mesmerizing and calming. What a beautiful location with good timing.
Agree. Never saw so many in one location.
Check out Three Sisters springs in Crystal River FL between November and March. We were down there around Thanksgiving and there were literally hundreds of them!
Hello Slim. As a neurotic about ticks from a couple year fight with Lyme Disease I highly endorse Permethrin. The first time I hiked with treated pants, the ticks would act like their feet were on fire. After a bit they would just fall off. Peace.
Pablo Ricardo are you still dealing with the Lyme? My wife went years undiagnosed and misdiagnosed and still deals with issues.
I'm in total agreement with your Permethrin comments. It is really an insecticide, not just a repellent. The US military, as well as the Canadian, has used this for many years - soaking clothes in it.

Hope you visit the US
At the beginning of the pandemic I bought a set of Wahl clippers from Amazon. I think they were $40. For a year, I did my own hair (2 on the sides, 8 on the top, 4 in between). I only went back to my barber when shutdowns ended because I knew her business was struggling. I think my hair looked better when I did it. 😂
I too have been using the Wahl clipper along with thinning shears and have concluded I do a better job than the hairdresser!!
We did the same thing except I had my wife cut my hair. It saved money and most of the time I were a hat anyway so you can’t tell if my hair has a fancy or a cheap hair cut anyway. I definitely encourage others to do the same.

It really stinks too. But I don't know the aroma of spray which cud be worse.
Seeing all those manatees together was amazing! I had no idea they would do that! Another great video, Slim! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Safe travels!
Hurry back Slim!! We need you to do more Florida videos! So nice to see some quiet serene areas of Old Florida.
So relaxing Slim. You are still the man. And for those of us who are stuck behind in those -31 temps....thanks for bringing us along.
Great campsite! Love the scenery. We all love your videos for many reasons but you know I think you fixing issues, repairs, etc. are always my favorite part!
The amazing music and your lovely photography have blessed my day. Thanks, Slim.
Thanks for taking me along Slim.
I love subtle and simple...as long as it's warm and tick free. Wow, those manatees ❤.
You have a talent in "camera positioning"
And your voice is so peaceful
I love your videos
It was peaceful with beautiful nature...that's why I come here
I amazes me at how long they can stay underwater on a seemingly short breath. Fantastic footage of the manatees.
I like subtle - nature, days, music, etc. :-) Another beautiful video excursion - thanks!
Wow seeing those beautiful manatees in such a large group was just awesome. Thanks for sharing. Take care and safe travels.
hope you're having fun 👍 looking forward to seeing ya again ❗💯
Hi there Slim, I lived in Florida for 20 years on the St. John’s river. I’m sure you probably know that the St. John’s river flows south to north. I now live on the Mississippi River in Iowa. I’m just a river girl at heart.
Thanks for the sunshine Slim and how wonderful to see those beautiful manatees. Safe travels.
I did not know that the manatees congregated in rivers like that. Beautiful!
Im truly loving these latest videos slim. The live? Was a pure delight. I cant tell you how much fun watching these new vids are watching the joy on your face from being on the road.
Thanks, Slim. Most people think central Florida is nothing but amusement parks, but you showed the best part of our state!
Loved every minute of the manatee portion. We were down in Florida in December and caught a glimpse of one. Had no idea we could see so many in one place.
being from Florida. I can totally relate to this video. I’ve been to all those places you’ve been to, and loved every minute of it. Thank you slim for the video . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
that late (early) evening beer at the campsite is always a good one...as always, safe travels.
I like subtle. Manatees are subtle. Sorry to see you leave. It was nice knowing you enjoyed our state. Thanks for showing it off so well. And thanks for the info on water management areas. Another camping opportunity I’ll have to look into. Thanks again for a great video.

Great video. You’re a wonderful, smart, and kind visitor within our borders.
Great to see the manatees! I hope that they survived the cold snap recently. Good video Slim! Can't wait to see where next!
As for someone that was raised in Fla the main reason manatees love springs is that the water Never gets below 72°f.
I love the manatee - gentle giants - have seen them several times on visits to Florida. It's always such a shame to see them hurt by the propeller's of power boats.
Most are dying of starvation these days. The runoff is killing the grass they need to eat.
I love Blue Springs State Park. We live in Central Florida and understand how hard it is to find a space. Try Kissimmee State Park. We enjoyed it. Bok Tower gardens is in Lake Wales.

I'm so glad you made it to Blue Springs, it is one of my favorite places. We've camped there and plan to go again:D Thanks Slim.
As always……thank you. I appreciate what you do, how you do it. Keep going.
Agreed! Nothing wrong with subtle. Your wildlife segments are always such a joy to watch.
Hey Slim. Glad you had better luck seeing the manatee's than we did back in December. At Manatee State park it just wasn't our day. So darn it, guess I'll just have to go back sometime.
I enjoyed the video. You have to love those manatees. Everything was so beautifully filmed, as always. Thanks Slim. Safe travels.
Hey! Good morning Slim! I always look forward to your videos. I hope that all is good for you and safe travels !
Thank you for sharing your travels and allowing us to venture with you in spirit. I was just in Florida a couple months ago and can't wait to go back.
Thanks for reminding me to appreciate the "subtle" moments. I'm out in the Sonoran Desert south of Buckeye and nothing is going on. Good.

Wow, not boring at all! Thank you for the great video!
You look so happy on the sunshine! Glad you were able to get out of Canada and enjoy better weather.
Well, not much more can be said except thanks for this one...you take care of yourself and keep going
Peace is a worthy goal for personal travel. This was lovely.
Thank you so much for this video, Slim. I will do the same - chill.
Funny, my wife and I were traveling in Virginia at the same time you were, we did stop in Blue Springs State Park and had a great time as well, the Manatee count on your day was significantly higher than our day so congratulations on getting to see these amazing animals.

Nature provides it's own excitement. Another excellent FL episode👍👍
What a lovely and calming video today. I needed that. ♥️

Hello Slim,, it is cold in Oklahoma,, like them temps there... so glad to see you! Always a great video.. thank you so much for sharing.
Hey, I’m an Okie too!

Hello, Slim, that phallic shaped object surrounded on three sides by water is called a peninsula! Lol. I enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks you slim my friend had a blast see you soon
Great video, scenery and footage. Cheers and safe travels
Awesome video to start my day! Catching the Manatees was great. That's National Geographic material right there.😊👍👍
I love watching you Slim especially the nature shots! Keep them coming Slim!😎
😲Wow....you hit the jackpot of finding all those Manatees!😁. For years, most Floridian’s always have said “they don’t like their own water!” Were those bear paw prints?!😳🤔. Nice video, thanks Mr. Slim! Have a a Great week!🥰
in addition to what you were saying about awkwardly walking into a loud crowded bar that suddenly goes silent........
the music stops too, followed by the sound of the needle scraping across the record......skrrrrrrrr.
Hi Slim! I love your camera work! Videos are always so nice!
Another interesting video. Thank you so much Slim.
Thank you again for showing us how Great Nature is.....
From Gorgeous Trees at the Gate....
& Land Cows to.... Sea Cows....
You have a great personality Always look forward to your vids. Learn something new each time!
Thank you once again for a very welcome adventure .I really enjoy your tranquil nature walks. Till next time stay safe and God bless
Love your videos Slim … I bet that beer hit the spot at the end of the day …
Happy trails ahead to the new location.
👍 Another good video and nice shades too! 😉
That was a great serene time. Thanks for the information. !:- )
I woke up yawning and went to awnings & Squeaky Slim's tic talk adventures.
Your story about the barber shop reminds me of walking into the wrong bar on a Sunday morning here in Belfast many years ago.
You are the best, interesting ,blog on RUclips I always feel I’m on your journeys with you .
Amazing footage of the manatees!!
Thanks Slim! Journey safely
Good idea to spray the clothes down, some rubber gloves would have been a good idea too. I used to work as a land surveyor and ticks were a big concern. Something we used to do is use dog tick collars around our boots, some even wove them into a belt through the loops on their jeans. Preventic collars are pricey, but the best. I highly recommend this method.
Great idea and readily available.

Another beautiful story of our southern state. The manatees really are graceful but somehow, I cannot picture them in tutus.
LindySellsHomes - Fantasia still lives!
Watching manatees swimming with relaxing music in the background, I found very therapeutic 🤩
From 19:37 through 20:08, the beauty is difficult to describe. The music certainly didn’t hurt, either.
Hello Slim,

We have embraced the winter life here , OK we are really trying to embrace winter life here, but love traveling the US with you.

Great video as always Slim. I know you opted not to put the permethrin on your socks. You might consider putting it on some tall socks and wear shorter ankle style socks underneath the treated socks so that you can wash those regularly.
Thanks again for the great video.
You've got my mental health through lockdown and I will be a subscriber for life
