On a tip from a fellow camper, I set off to discover the joys and the challenges of camping on a beach in February. Rutherford Beach is 45 minutes south of Lake Charles Louisiana. I also share two more recipes from my viewers!

Not only are you going to find salt on/in your vehicles, you’re going to find blown sand in nooks and crannies for months or years. I learned the hard way driving a top down convertible on those beaches. I liked your soup experiments. I think using Campbell’s tomato in the fast soup recipe might give both speed and a better flavor and consistency. Thanks as always for taking us along with you.

I would love to see a video on what your whole set up and tear down is like.....I have little annoying questions like "during that wind storm did you take down your signal boost at midnight" do you bring in your steps and chair at night for fear of them being stolen......Do you leave the collaspable water jug for your shower under your trailer the whole time once you set up your shower......and how long to do you typically leave your shower up to let it dry
@SlimPotatohead
@SlimPotatohead 2 года назад
Wow, lots of questions! The antenna stayed up during wind, while chair gets tucked away during storms. Jug usually only out when in use. Shower basin can be squeegeed but curtains are outside in sun to dry or shaken if too humid. Thanks! SP

That frigid humid wind has taken many a life of duck hunters lost in the swamps. 40° f, heavy humidity and wind; without the right gear is sure fire recipe for Hypothermia.

I’m surprised, living at a trailer with limited energy resources, i.e. bro pain, that you don’t use the “Julia Child“ method of cooking pasta. Basically bring the water to a boil, stir in the pasta, bring it back to a boil, then put it on the lid and turn off the burner. Let it just soak in the hot water for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the type of pasta. I find the dried tortellini tends to take about 20 minutes or so. I have found that you can add a lot of flavor by adding some sort of seasoning or flavoring or even some bullion to the soaking water. In this case I can imagine essentially cooking the pasta in the V8, maybe with just a little bit of added water,. I may actually try that in the next day or two.

My favorite pasta is angel hair. It's delicate and cooks very quickly. I would have substituted or added tomato paste to thicken the soup. It is fun to experiment. I do enjoy watching SP prepare these recipes sent in by viewers. I do not enjoy watching tv chefs cook complicated dishes. I could live on pintoes, cheese and cornbread.

A variation on a satay sauce that sounds interesting. I've always liked Campbell's soups often accompanied by a cheese sandwich, so I'd probably leave the cheese in the sandwich. Then, I'd try adding some fresh ginger as well as the chilli 😋 That may be my Queensland taste buds. Ginger is grown commercially here. Something to try next winter.

I grew up in SW Louisiana and visited Rutherford beach many times in the late 1960's - early 1970's. I am surprised it still exists, as many powerful hurricanes slammed that area since then. I suppose the state built the beach back up. Most often the water was chocolate in color and the beach strewn with seaweed and waste from oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.

Hi, Slim. I live East of where you are.......Alabama-Florida line. Peanut and tomato are a staple of certain African area cooking. I was introduced via a niece's Ghanaian husband. His mom makes chicken in a sauce of these. I found a recipe for a stew/soup with this base that includes eggplant and green beans. We have it over rice. Occasionally I'll add leftover chicken needing used up. I was smitten and wait every summer for my hubby's garden eggplant. Love your photography.

Onion, garlic, carrot, pepper, veg broth, a chunk of red pepper chopped & a wander through the spices. Very filling and warming. Nice place for a bit. I hope you found some trees after.

As a Texan, I think the Gulf Coast is not only a great place to camp, but the first thing I would do as a nomad. It's safe clean, beautiful, can collect shells, wade, swim in warmer water at times, fish, get a tan, clean air, exercise, see rockets take off from Boca Chica, eat great food, meet all sorts of people, have serenity and not have to worry about forest fires cause you can build a fire right on the beach. You can also see stars well and it's a great place for using telescopes, go boating. From Florida to the Texas/Mexican border there is more to see on the Gulf Coast than many states cumulatively have to offer.

Nice way to start the day, with a nice plate of slim potatoes. I live only a few miles from the beach, here in Southern California, this is my type of place.

Padre island has dunes for a backdrop, Rutherford has wetlands. Padre has blue gulf water, Rutherford's is brown. You can ride a bicycle on a Padre beach not on the loose and deep beach at Rutherford. These beaches are unique and is what makes visiting so enjoyable.

From South Africa.... Could be in S.A... .. Northern east coast between Cape Vidal and Sordwana.... Only known place in the world where dolphin have been observed PLAYING in the breakers..... Gòogle that , very significant expending energy PLAYING.... Anyhow slept under the stars woke up and coffee in hand had the priveledge of seeing them surfing the waves right in front of us. Us being me and a 14 Yo lad in welfare that was already well on the way to calling me dad... such are my memories.... Thank you Slim, thank you

Looks familiar, I grew up just across the border in Texas. Thought I saw an oil drilling platform off in the distance; we had to watch out for globs of oil from time to time, but the worst were the jelly fish, which could give you a sting! That's a fiddlercrab you were disturbing. You might want to put a tarp down in front of your door to keep the sand out of your trailer. Brings back great memories of all my own beach adventures.

That sunset - I said "Wow" out loud. I like that you are leaving the shells for others to appreciate instead of carrying around more stuff. Really like that you tried the 2 soups. Love your videos, thanks Slim!!

The ocean is so intoxicating that I find it difficult to leave... except for the time one February that the wind got up to 35 MPH out of the SE for 12 hours during freezing & were constantly pounded by frozen sea mist. That was so unpleasant & it left a nasty residue. The smell & stickiness takes some getting used to every time I go back.
