Just Milling About at the Cabin: Slim's Fixer-Upper Part 28

Returning to the cabin after spending a few months down south, I find there's a LOT of cleanup to do. But my first priority is to salvage some of the downed trees before it's too late. I set up my own milling operation to turn those trees into something useful.

NOTE FROM SLIM: I am taking a break for the month of May, stepping away from the camera to catch up on a host of things that need attention. In the meantime, please check your subscription status, as a lot of people have commented they are not getting notices of new videos. Any updates will be posted on my blog: www.slimpotatohead.com/blog-1 Enjoy the spring everyone!

@Cinlupu День назад

Gonna miss you!!!!!!

@mrjack8849 День назад

I don't subscribe to many RU-vidrs, but the few that I do and actually watch are all saying their viewership is down. Not sure sure what is happening. I think there was a boost during Covid when people had more time, and now people have less time? Or there are just so many RU-vidrs now, folks get spread thin on the the content they watch. Whatever the case, you are still one of enjoyable channels I watch. I'll be ready in a few weeks to see your new challengers and adventures.

I never get tired of your videos, whether they are travel or the cabin. When I first started watching, your videos were all on travel, but I've really enjoyed pretty much everything you do and appreciate the time and effort that you invest in your channel. Loved your winter/spring travels, particularly in the Southwest.

@Chris-pv2ht 15 дней назад

I enjoy your breaks away and house renovations so please keep them both up. I must admit the renovations I do enjoy the most but I also watch the trips away as well. You strike the balance perfectly in my eyes between making the videos fun and exciting without making them too long and boring

@miketomas8564 15 дней назад

So Do I. I started with Slim out and aboot and although I'm not much interested in DYI home restoration, I've been supporting him with every video he makes. It's a shame that he's seen a decline in viewership with his travels. But it's somewhat of a job and more viewers = more ad revenue. I don't blame him a Bit.

I think that your travel videos are great and you know a fair bit about photography (videography???). I enjoyed my trips to Washington State, Oregon, California, Nevada, Louisiana, Texas Alabama and the Atlantic states with my late wife. I saw many places in your videos that I remember, however I can see why the "viewership" dropped off a bit. Your videos where you are devising, creating and utilizing creative (Macgyvering?) solutions to problems truly speaks to the hearts of your subscribers. This is where the genuine "Slim Potatohead" truly shines (with successes and not so great ideas included). Certainly continue to roll on as long as you can and capture it all. Leaven that with a good helping of your "now how am I going to handle this job (on a budget)" and you will do just fine.
