Atlin Atitude: Boondocking BC 

The water cress, the clear water from the grotto, the sound of water, all the green... mesmerizing, hypnotizing. I can't imagine the effect If I was there for real ...

The shot of the Llewellyn ice field looked like a watercolour painting!! You have such a way with photography, videography and commentary. Thanks for sharing.

Hi from Pennsylvania on Lake Erie I’m 75 & live in a Senior Citizen apartment building on the top floor so I very much enjoy & appreciate your excellent photography Your narrative of each scene is music to my old ears Thank You 🙏

Dr Slim. giving us our weekly dose of calm and quiet. the colors are incredible! Love to hear the loons. these videos in this crazy time are the perfect antidote to city dwelling depression. thanks so much.

That was a real treat to watch Slim. What an interesting and stunningly beautiful place to spend time in. Many thanks David in the UK.

That stream coming from the mountainside is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

SLIM 😀 RAIN OR SUNSHINE YOUR AMAZING AND I ILOVE THE PEACEFUL AND RELAXING VIDEOS 🌞

This is not a video. It is truly a work of art! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place and your gift for videography!

Beautiful country, that's what BC stands for doesn't it?

The next best thing to your videos, is being able to watch them withOUT ads !! Thank You so very much sir!!

Thank you for keeping my inner soul at peace with your videos. Your eye and appreciation for what's commonly called natural landscape is stunning. No flash or neon dazzle just soothing beauty often overlooked by so many. A heartfelt thank you from me to you.

The roving cube/ The schooner of adventure/ The satellite wonderer/ Each episode a clincher/ Is now flying high/ Bold and free/ A self-contained photo-lab/ Roaming the country/ The visual imagery magnificent/ The narration spot on/ The rubber-tired castle/ Is bumping right along/

You've done it again Slim! Thanks for taking us to Atlin, British Columbia and filling the beginning of my day with beauty, humor, and nature.

I don’t pine for a bigger house, fancy clothes, or an expensive car. What I long for is to sit in a forest, marvel at the wonders of creation, to gaze at majestic mountains, smell the fragrance of pine needles under my feet, and try (and fail miserably) to count the millions of stars in the night sky. Thank you Slim for reminding me, in my urban existence, that all these things are still possible.

Slim, your ever-excellent “eye” for beauty was certainly on in this video. The ending video brought literal tears to my eyes. I so want to see that beauty in person. But, am SO grateful to experience it through your videos. Thanks for the Birdseye view of your adventures. Loved your all-in-one skillet of food! I cook a lot like that, as well. It’s just so good with lots of great vegetables and whatever else. ❤️❤️❤️

What a place. I can imagine a cigar and a dram while watching the sun dip.

Peace… Shalom… Salam... Namaste and Thank You so much for All that you are doing to Help our Mother Earth 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ❤

Your videos bring not only a beauty but a peace to this crazy world. Thank you

I've always liked your videos Slim, but I think they have become more valuable, more satisfying, and more meditative as you share your solitude with all the friends you may never meet. Thank you so very much for sharing your rambles on down the highway with us!

The sound of that rain in the beginning was so relaxing. It’s my bedtime I work 3rd shift and that almost put me down lol. Enjoy your journey slim.

Some of the compositions in this vid are staggering ! You've got a great eye for photography and videography. Stunning... and thanks for not allowing adverts every 3 minutes.... much appreciated.... all the best....J

I love the sound of the rain on the tarp, reminds me of the old days of camping and backpacking. One of the most soothing sounds in the world.

And everything stops coz Slim has a new video and wonderful as always ♥️👍

The new van with that awning/rain cover is great - just gives you the opportunity to sit outside in the rain and drink in some fresh air rather than just exhaling condensation inside the A-frame all day.

OMG. The high was 45° and low 32 ° in Atlin. That is artic weather for us here in Southern California. The gloves and heavy jackets come out. But it's well worth it in that gorgeous, lush country. A paradise on earth.

I could listen to you for hours. You calm me. Your poetic observations are incredible.

It's so easy to forget that because you're by yourself, you have to walk up, back down, up again, etc. to place the camera. Just another one of many awe inspiring videos.

Look how wounderful clear the water is.we miss so much in the city

This is what campervanning is about,Cooking,Activities etc

Dear Slim, your Atlin vide couldn't have been more welcome and timely. Yours is the only video I've seen that covers all features. I recently met a gal and her brother, here in Vancouver, who are from Atlin. She is my brother's girlfriend. He resides near Whitehorse. Moreover, I visited Atlin when I was in Whitehorse in 1967. I always yearned to return, now I have a good reason(s). I remember the great mountain and crystal clear lake at 4 o'clock in the morning. The memory has always been with me. Cheers, Leon

This is one of the rare online comment sections where I want to continue reading as everyone is so warm, appreciative and respectful. Thanks to Slim for building this lovely international community as a welcome retreat from--well, you know!

YAY The best part of my Tuesday is a video from you!!!

So bizarre to see a Welsh name for a glacier in that part of the world. Such a gorgeous, soothing video- many thanks.

stunning views so much beauty and wonderful nature my heart is overflowing i hope mankind dosent completely ruin our beautiful planet and all its amazing life. i can almost smell the wet ground through the video thanks for sharing

Hey Slim, thanks for keeping my depression at bay. It is too hot to ride the trails here in California, but its great when i can come home to air conditioning and watch your videos. Thanks buddy.

Yes it is. Cant go wrong with slim. You make tuesdays great. Knowing that youre out there enjoying the beauty of this world makes me smile because i know ill be abke to be apart of the journey figuratively speaking. Thanks slim

Too funny! "Don't they make a cute couple" Loved it.

My goodness, I would download your sounds of nature album in a heartbeat.

Your photo artistry is the best on RU-vid. Thank you yet again

This video is absolutely stunning. The majesty of landscapes often gets lost in photos, but you really captured it. Its just fantastic. Thanks!

As I binge on your videos I find myself drawn by your insights. Entertained and inspired. I make a comment humbly attempting to imitate your style. This video is nothing short of a masterpiece. With amazing views and hearty laughs! Thank you Mr. SP.

This is one of your best videos. You bring the drama of nature to life and tell a story that had me transfixed. Thank you for this Slim!

Thank you Slim. Every trip is a joy and an education. Xxxx

Thank you for the brief sojourn among the beauty & serenity of one of the most magnificent places on earth ... Cheers.

Still locked down here, in Texas. Your videos make my chronic wanderlust worse than it normally is. Can't wait to get out there again. Know I'm jealous and envious of your travels in your beautiful country. Well done, Slim! Well done!!

Thank you so much Slim for doing all the hard work in your production it really shows what great work you really do.Be safe in your travels.

I almost felt like i was watching "Wild Kingdom" .."Brought to you by the Mutual of Omaha"...your voice kinda sounds like Marlin Perkins....the eagle in the tree and you describing it, was like Deja vu ...great vids Slim, one of my favorite travelers to watch now.

Nothing like this in Texas. Thanks for the refreshing reminder of rain and cool.

I just join your your channel today . I am watching you from Switzerland , I lived 2 years in BC for work and I sure miss that amazing wilderness . I like your simplicity in your video, no big 4X4 off road build trucks , just a simple straightforward day by day adventure . Bravo

Too good Slim, too good ! Been at the Oregon coast kayaking for 2 weeks and am catching up on your offerings. Thank you !!

I rarely comment on RU-vid but I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel. After discovering it a few weeks ago, I've been binge-watching and have gotten a tremendous amount of enjoyment and happiness from the experience. I also want to commend your increasing skills in both cinematography and writing. You were always good but you're taking everything to the next level. The framing of your shots has become excellent with interesting details visible but not crowding out the overall subject. Also, your writing is poetic without being pretentious. After viewing your channel I'm really considering dipping my toes into the camping lifestyle -something I wouldn't have seriously considered before. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely eye-popping. Definitely my fave so far. My stress level dropped to zero. Lol.

Beautiful. Mesmerizing. Refreshing. Wonderful. Nature's SigNature. Enjoyed Heartily. Thank You Very Much 👍

Thank you for your videos and your insights on nature and boondocking. We look forward to each and every one, especially now that we are having to stay close to home. We are enjoying seeing the beauty of Canada as well!

Beautiful portrayal of the little town I called home for 15 years.

The mist in the hills was beautiful. Atlin is such a cool looking little town, I loved all the colorful houses. Great video as always, Slim. Thank you.

What a great video lots of wildlife and a great shot of the bald eagle. What a majestic bird. Wow slim really pumped out another 10 on this video Jim and Cheryl saying nice work.

Such majestic views. Who needs internet with what is there in nature

I saw the Chief Dan George quote on the side of the building in Atlin, I had always thought he was from the US. He was the most memorable character in The Outlaw Josie Wales, a Clint Eastwood vehicle in which the Chief built a role with insight, irony and humor that outshined anyone else in what was a very good movie. Good catch, Slim. It looks like a town that an old guy like me could live in.

"Low clouds seemed to embrace the mountains in satin sheets" nice one Slim :)

The grotto with the watercress, WOW, you're right. I could've sat there for hours. Then the contrast to the white frozen glacier was so stunning. Loved the loons bickering. Great shot of that Eagle. Slim, so many goodies in this video. Hey, your dinner looked pretty good too. Excellent video as always. Thank you from Southeast Missouri. 😊 Our motto is:Show Me. You did. 😊

You can make the most remote place feel inviting and relaxing. Seeing nature at its finest doing what it does with not many people around. Another great day..

Excellent Narration and Video thank you

wow...........just........wow. What an amazing place. I know a lady who is a painter and does this scenery. They had a cabin up at Atlin and talked about it often. I can see why she was so taken with the beauty and inspiration of that area. You are so talented yourself with the photography and commentary. Thank you as always for what you bring to us each time. WOW!

Loved it!! Looney Loon diving. A. Eagle, beaver, gull, wacky mosquitoes..all fascinating

Water cress just loves fresh clear and above all clean spring water. I would have had some lovely soup had I been there. I'll forgive your cooking skills because of the beauty. thanks.

In 1970 I was able to cross the Llewellen and come out at Atlin. It was way more rustic back then and gold prospecting was still going on at Discovery. Unbelievable experience.

Lunchtime with Slim for me here in the UK. Raining here too!

poetry and scenery in equal parts art.

Slim.....WOW! SO many of your videos, your travels, just everything soothes my soul. I am so thankful I come across your channel a couple years ago. You, my friend, are an amazing person! Oh, next time you make it towards Kansas, please tell me! I'll bring some local brews and veggies for dinner, you just tell your story!!

That place has not changed too much since my last sojourn there 43 years ago. And thanks for the video, you did an excellent job.

i grew up near Canada in Minnesota. Ur recent videos remind me of why i moved to AZ. Did a lot camping in my younger days... in the rain and snow .. glad im here.. thanks for your videos

This really hit me, Slim. Kids are grown. The wife and I are slimming down on our stuff and life in general. Inspiring. Stay safe

That little town of Atlin Slim is ever so priceless. What a beautiful area and thank you so much for sharing your experience. I watched it on my break today and I have to say, it brings joy to my heart when I see that peaceful Village with people living in a little community surrounded by such a State of Nature. Ever so sweet in Canada. No one will ever know how precious our country is until they travel to all the northern places with it's beauty as a people, as an environment, as a Nature filled with such mysteries and miracles, like the mosquitoes and their flowered home. Manitoba could use that for their mosquitoes. Thank U Slim. Keep up the great work, and your photography is so wonderful. Thank you for that too...CDH

Beautiful. The plot twist fooled me as I expected a watercress salad to make an appearance.

That would be a Canadian Bald Eagle I'm sure. The boarder is still closed.

So much beauty. A feast for the eyes and soul.

Campsite crapper!! The atlin music festival is on our bucket list when it's running again. Enjoyed this, thanks!😉🇨🇦👍🌲

Phone booths from my youth here in Brisbane all had a unique smell mainly that of phone books.

Oh....the sound of the stream. Very enjoyable video. Thanks

I saved this so that I could enjoy with my coffee ☕ today thank you 😊

I so appreciate your taking us along on your journeys. I could never skip even a second of any of your videos. You’re such an artist an numerous ways. Thanks.

The town is so quaint and pretty...such a refreshing thing to see during these times!

That was amazing Slim! I honestly feel more relaxed, thank you! My wife and I just got our passports renewed with the sole intent of visiting destinations all over Canada, and now you're closed! Thanks for sharing!

You could be a writer! I love the way you take us with you. Those mountains wow!!! It was like a painting ! It looked so unreal!

I always click like before i watch because i know i'm going to enjoy slims adventure, cheers to you slim.

Talk about remote! A time of real decompression. What a beautiful and tranquil setting. Thanks for sharing.

I like to watch your videos when im laying down for sleep slim. So relaxing.🥰💗💤💤💤

What a beautiful video! I'm not good with words, so I will just say that @Judy Abernathy captured my thoughts and feelings, down to the cooking! Thank so much Slim, for sharing with us.

Needed this video today after dealing with the stress of everyday life. Shouldn't have let it get to me but it happens thanks for the video to help me relax

Lovely indeed, wishing I had the words as you do, to go with my views on British Columbia trips! I've been to Atlin twice in my life so far, and hope to go again one day. The first time was over 30 years ago, on a return trip from Inuvik (Northwest Territories) as well as a tour through Alaska, with an older couple I had known for years. Our trip to Atlin was on purpose, as my old friend (who's now passed on) wanted to do some moose hunting, of which my wife & I had never done before, so it was truly a blessing, to see the wildlife in the area as well. We drove the Fourth of July road on a 4X4 path into Glady's Lake...stayed a week, and got our moose! I can still remember coming over a rise, and seeing Dahl sheep on the roadway, which fortunately where not all that scared of us, as they just walked rather slowly in front of us, eventually moving off into the wilderness. That trip made for lifelong memories, long before wifi or cellphones for that matter, and we still made out just fine. One evening a skunk came in through the night, and chewed a hole in our water jug, but other than that, we had no problems at all, just wonderful memories with great friends. Thanks for the video Slim, as nature truly wakes us up to the beauty British Columbia has in reserve.

Every time I watch one of your videos, I think to myself, "He seems fun and cool. I wanna hang out with him." :)

Glad to see you here sharing again. And, that you haven't lost your touch.

Coffee with my morning slim video. Thank you we enjoy it!

Almost 42,000 views in 4 days. Almost 6000 likes in 4 days. 32 dislikes and none of them put anything in the comments. It could be a learning experience for Slim, as these "experts" critiqued his excellent videography, but no......they're just trolls. Thanks again Slim for a great video. Looking forward to the next one.

I absolutely love to watch the fog! And to add that beautiful lake and call of the loons, wow! I could sit there all day. So peaceful. ❤

Nice to see that Atlin hasn’t changed a bit since I spent a few summers there 25 years ago.

Good afternoon from Belfast Northern Ireland, brilliant video.

Your videos are by far the best I’ve seen! Thank you so much for sharing your world with us.

Very dramatic but peaceful photography. Thanks for sharing.
