In my 5th instalment of my 2023 camping roadtrip I find a fantastic little campsite in beautiful Kentucky. Great trails and scenery, with the bonus of kayaking the turquoise waters of the Rockcastle River.

As an electric wheelchair user, I really enjoy watching your videos. They allow me to see places and experiences which are otherwise unavailable to me.

@lancerevell5979 Год назад

Agreed. Being disabled and homebound myself, I can enjoy these beautiful places vicariously with Slim and other YT campers. 👍😎

@cynthiadickey3055 Год назад

@mskraftee5252 Год назад

If it’s OK with Slim, I recommend also watching Snow & Curt. They are traveling the world in a van. They have been in Mexico, Central and South America the past four years.

@doris1826 Год назад

For somebody that still is not terribly comfortable on the water, you have really overcome a lot and I love the kayak explorations. Thank you!

@Ritterkritterz Год назад

Same thing I was thinking

@PositivelyAndy Год назад

I am so glad that you overcame your fear of water to give us quality videos like this. Thanks for all the hard work!

@bettebuchheit5776 Год назад

Your camera angles are simply amazing! The opening shot in the kayak, the shot from above when you were walking the trail, video taken at ground level among the plants……..thank you for taking the effort to make your videos so stunningly beautiful!

@miketomas8564 Год назад

He had to climb that hill at least twice to get those shots before his breath got away.

@lcarter194 Год назад

What's crazy is how many times he has to go back set the camera up and then run in front of the shot! I' would be worn out. A great storyteller that keeps you engaged

@carriemainquist757 Год назад

The Eagle. The tech frustration. The view. The river color! You get my 2 thumbs up Slim!

Welcome to Kentucky! I love my beautiful state and I hope you enjoyed your time here. So happy to see a video in my neck of the woods. Happy travels!

@Tom-In-Ga Год назад

Everybody needs a little beaver, he said, as I spit my coffee all over me. Well, enough with the high school humor. Excellent adventure, Slim. I've been through Kentucky a couple of times and it is a beautiful state. Safe travels!

@markgalloway2369 Год назад

I’ve used Macs and PC’s both for more than 20 years. Macs are easier to get up to speed on but they are much different than PC’s. Eventually you will love your Mac’s performance and you will love Final Cut Pro…after the learning curve. Don’t give up! You’ll be glad you did. Great video as usual Slim. Thanks!

@fionaludbrook8193 Год назад

Stunning scenery Slim. Can almost smell the fresh air. Love the insects and that cool rock hole waterfall. Nice to see your kayak getting used. Couldn't help but admire all the work you put in backtracking to get such fabulous trail and boat shots. Your efforts are appreciated. Years since I've seen any Canada Geese, especially given I live in Australia. Looks like a fabulous spot for birding! Ah those spring storms. I would never switch to a Mac from my trusty PC. Your videos were professional anyway. Thanks for a real treat of a video, so much variation of content! The Australian term for a "vault toilet" is a drop dunny by the way. Yep, we all speak English!😁

@dondonner1095 Год назад

Two thumbs up on this one for sure.

@kathyadair7367 Год назад

😊 So happy to see you enjoyed your stay in Kentucky. We have a beautiful state. The Daniel Boone National Forest is amazing.

@jimbo27378 Год назад

No matter where you go - you present a story in such a way as to make me want to head there. I like that most of the places you go to are paid & State , Provincial or National. The added benefits such as trails close by are worth it .

@deeanderson5670 Год назад

Slim, you hit the big one. Great site, river, and hiking. Everything green. Price perfect. And your video was very high quality. It's one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

@DonnaBMacK Год назад

Kentucky looks beautiful. The camera work and editing are amazing to me. Must be so much work involved. Great video. Thank you once again for this and taking us along. Safe travels.

@donaldcassidy1592 Год назад

Kentucky is my birthplace, Louisville. But great friends from UK days late 60's turned me on to Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Park, what a beautiful ares in late spring and early fall. Weekend hideaway for years, getting too popular now. Northeast Maine is summer secret now. ENJOY!

@gordaro2828 Год назад

Great stuff. Working for the Canadian Coast Guard - I am proud of you for your journey toward the water. You've told your story and responsibly faced your fears...oh, your storytelling is getting better all the time, as well. Cheers from B.C. 👍

@adamroberts3088 Год назад

If you have the time, you should stop in Charlestown Indiana at Charlestown State Park and visit Rose Island. The abandoned remains of a flooded amusement park from many many years ago lie here where the Ohio River flooded. Very cool experience. Campground is amazing as well with very nice hiking! Keep up the great videos! Enjoy watching! Safe travels!

This is my part of the country. Glad you came!! When I was growing up my Daddy would bring me fishing there. My Mom would fix us a picnic and my brother and I would catch bluegills. Great memories!

@deguello68 Год назад

After all these years of watching your videos, it hit me why I enjoy them so much. The tone and rhythm of your voice reminded me of Marty Stouffer, who produced “Marty Stouffer’s Wild America”

This video and the one prior in NC are National Geographic quality Slim. Excellent start to finish. Your voice is a gift my friend. Very distinct, enuciating every word with the perfect inflection. Can't say enough good about this. Thanks so much for sharing.

@digital4282 Год назад

Macs aren’t for everyone, but once you get the hang of it, I think you’ll like it. You’re certainly not wrong on it being a learning curve, I too spent a long time on PCs before making the switch, but now that I’ve done it I wouldn’t go back if someone paid me!

Nothing quite like waking up to a Slim video out in nature, with such beautiful scenery. It is so helpful for my outlook for my day. I enjoy all your work hit all partial to today's type of video. I get to see areas of both Canada and the states I would not get to see otherwise. I like my daughter offered to take me out with her kayaks, but I'm 70 and thought i was too old to try. But maybe I could at least give it a try. At any rate, thank you so much for the video!

THANKS Slim, I am amazed of the amount of work you put in just to get a great shot! I suspect you are up and down that steep hill at least three times. Just want you to know how much I appreciate your efforts and then on top of that a new computer and new editing software. Thanks so much Slim for taking us on your adventures!

@davidcrumpler5714 Год назад

You’re in the south. Exercise caution paddling under overhangs such as dead trees and limbs. Snakes like to hang out on them and when startled will drop off in/on the boat with you. Mostly water snakes and harmless but occasionally you’re joined by a bad boy.

Hi David. I did it the hard way! Later in the video you see a trestle bridge. I set up the camera to a steel beam with a magnet, then walked back, paddled out and activated the camera with a remote. Took me about an hour for a 20 second shot! SP
