In my 4th Atlantic Travels video, I leave the island of Newfoundland to visit its mysterious sister to the north: Labrador. After a few ferry delays, I finally make it to a campsite and the adventure begins. Filmed in early September 2022.
Quality Note: Sorry, some of my low-light footage came out weird, as I was experimenting with a new camera. Do not adjust your set!

Slim, It is so refreshing to watch your videos, I am not watching someone trying to sell me something they got for free. There is no “Oh my God the worlds coming to an end” click bait, and I am not just watching someone make a video about nothing just to put out a video! Again thank you, always enjoy your content and how you deliver it.

@peacefulwife5199 Год назад

Ohhh Slim....let me tell you something...I've had one heck of a day today. About 5 minutes before this video hit, I made a cup of tea. I clicked on your video and watched it. I am so incredibly relaxed right now....Thank you. Thank you for all you do.....here...have a cup. ☕️

@edevos3108 Год назад

His videos really are very relaxing. When I'm stressed, it really helps to watch Slim.

Excellent series. The only problem with a Slim video is that they end! Thanks for the effort to take us along.

@r8edrv4fun65 Год назад

As usual, a great video, Slim. Thank you for allowing us to come along for the fun.

@glyndamillnerphillips539 Год назад

Always a pleasant surprise seeing a new video has been posted. I usually save new one and watch it right before lights out. The videos seem to help me relax. I really do appreciate all the work you put into them. I do enjoy your cabin videos as well since I have gutted a older mobile home that I purchased last year. Mine has a lot more damage than I ever expected so your videos give me hope that one day mine will be livable. Thank you for making these videos 😃

Wow! I'm loving this Atlantic travels series. The landscapes are awesome. And btw I like the sound of rain in my rv at night too hehe

Great video Slim! May I suggest using olive or avocado oil in place of vegetable oil. It's so much less inflammatory. Take care and safe travels!

Thank you for having us along. That looked like a tasty meal. I love the way you adapt to unforseen circumstances and make the best of them.

@stymiedagain Год назад

The ferry crossing schedule to Labrador is definitely an approximation. I’ve waited several days to get across, because of a crosswind that didn’t seem that bad to me. People are used to sleeping in their cars in the lineup. You didn’t mention seeing the 7,500 year old burial mound on the L’Anse Amour Road. It’s of a Maritime Archaic boy. His body was wrapped in a shroud of bark or hide and placed face down with his head pointed to the west.

@wendyrobertson3899 Год назад

Slim, you're such a great story teller and your video work is pretty awesome too. Love watching where you go and seeing all the things you get up to when you get there. Specially like the fly by the seat of your pants videos when you have zero research into the are you arrive at. Those seem to be the more fun videos, lol. Happy trails and safe travels.

@rickhobson3211 Год назад

Nice thing about waiting for a ferry when you are pulling your home along with you is that you can take a break and do stuff in your mobile abode! Also, I would think that the peanut butter would add a "Thai" flavor to things. :9

@ScubaSteveCanada Год назад

Hi Slim, the running joke for that area is they do indeed get good weather ... but only 2 weeks of it, in the middle of summer. Now you know. Sometimes, the rain, fog and clouds add to the ambiance. Cheers, Steve

@pdrphil8159 Год назад

There are times I wish I had a small camper like yours.. It is no easy task pulling 9000 lbs across mountains & winding roads.. Not to mention set up & tear down every eve & morning when your on the road.. I love the room when Im parked , but it is a trade off... A small camper like yours still has the comforts.. And you can be on the road in a few short minutes..

@mskraftee5252 Год назад

Tell us you picked done of those yummy blueberries, Slim! Soy sauce and peanut butter are a good combo. Add a squeeze of lime and some garlic snd you have a tasty dipping sauce. Beautiful but stark landscape in Labrador. Judging by the weather, looks like maybe you’ll be heading south soon?

@carolleenkelmann4751 Год назад

Hi there, Slim. - Goethe, I'm told, was the one who said, that it is not the destination that counts but the path you travel getting there. Very Philosophical. Seems a waste of a day but at least you could feel justified in the trip by rescuing the environment of Alu cans. Collect enough of them, there might be some recycling value attached to your altuistic efforts. I'd be doing the same but I'd be chasing the sun (says I, tollerating to almost freezing point minimal overnight temperatures.) I'm waiting to see more of your fixer-upper project there by the Lake. Your culinary skills underway, are becoming very proficient and you're right about the taste improvement with the peanut paste. Seasam is another choice. Pak choi and onion, also would add to the flavour. Bit more work, though. Those evening silhouettes are sometimes breathtaking. "A thing of beauty....."

@davebenson1504 Год назад

We have been planning a trip to Newfoundland for about 2 years (COVID delays) and have considered approaching it from the north shore of the St Lawrence, where you have just landed... hope to do the trip in the spring, and then head across to tour the island... so really appreciate your videos on Labrador

@ScubaSteveCanada Год назад

You can't drive along the entire length of the north shore in Quebec, you'd need to travel the Trans Labrador Highway (TLH). Look on a map as to where the TLH is and the fact you need to be prepared before driving it. If you are prepared, enjoy the trip.

@davebenson1504 Год назад

@@ScubaSteveCanada thanks... I have heard it is a little like the Dempster Hwy... and you need to have extra gas...

@ScubaSteveCanada Год назад

@@davebenson1504 They offer a free pickup/drop off service for satellite phones due to its remoteness and lack of services. You'd pick up a sat phone at a visitor center and drop it off at the far end. Forget to drop it off, they'll charge you for the phone. I wonder if Slim decided to do that route or leave it for another trip. Awesome if you can do such a trip.
