The conclusion of my Castle trilogy, this video is a very subtle walk in the woods. A hike and dinner, simple as that! I do however sneak in a few hints about toilets and results of gas mileage should anyone ask!

Haha!...i just had the same “left arm nettle experience” the other day when I wasn’t paying attention!-they are tasty though😉and-i never tire of watching the stars...thank you for the lovely video 🤗

@joedunbarjr 4 года назад

FYI - Anywhere you find stinging nettles you will also find lamb's ear growing close by. Any place you get stung by the nettles rub with the lamb's ear and the pain will disappear quickly.

@khm2128 4 года назад

Supposedly, jewelweed (if you know how to identify it) and some other wild herbs, are useful for nettle stings.

@williamshiels5450 4 года назад

Dockens take away the sting. Don't know the N American name.

@Columbus1152 4 года назад

In a RU-vid world of the pandemic and confinement, and non-stop politics and division, it's so refreshing watching Slim get out in his rig and enjoy nature in its glory and the simple comforts of his trailer home. It's a nice escape and inspires me to want to dust off my old camping gear and get away from the madness.

@marilynrenaud1892 4 года назад

Do you have any idea how absolutely superior your videos are? Every time I watch one I am blown away! That dusk to dawn time lapse was incredible!!! Just beautiful excellent footage on this video, as well as every video you create! Your videos leave me happy...thank you! Safe travels! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁

FYI - Anywhere you find stinging nettles you will also find lamb's ear growing close by. (roundish leaf with a sticky backside) Any place you get stung by the nettles rub with the lamb's ear and the pain will disappear quickly. Happy Trails my Friend !!!

@MrTonos10 4 года назад

Saute the stinging nettle with butter, garlic, salt and pepper after boiling is delicious. The natives used them for many medicinal treatments. Applied to achy joints the stinging would bring blood to the area and alleviate pain for example. After the initial stinging of course ;) Very important to many tribes, for many purposes and highly nutritious.

@quiltgal5444 4 года назад

Loved it. Your amazing videographer and editing skills makes your videos some of the best. I took notice of the shot crossing the stream. Clearly you crossed several times cause you had to go back and get the camera. So lovely to go on a nature walk! Also the night sky was a lovely bonus.

@kennyc388 4 года назад

Another good one Mr. Potatohead!! You have some great balance taking on that narrow downed tree. This wonderful video gave me a reprieve from the negative events of the world and the drama-queen news. Thank you for the "walk" !!

@trirycheman 4 года назад

A simple walk in the woods. It's amazing how something so simple can change your mood, and even make you feel physically better. There's so much in the air in the woods, all good for you.

It looked like spinach, so even I was thinking the same (taste?)😁👍.

@deerhaven3350 4 года назад

Wow, so beautiful. I'm glad you use common sense when you're out there by yourself. One false move and....well, you get the idea. Even so, I have to say I was relieved when you made your way back across the fallen tree to the safety of the other side of the river. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.

@joewoodchuck3824 4 года назад

What a great trip. You remind me of Marty Stouffer a wildlife photographer. I don't know if he's still working but if you have the opportunity to see any of his work I think you'd like it since his style is so similar to yours. What is your fuel consumption without the trailer?

@silva777 4 года назад

Thanks for this video! I appreciate that, in addition to the fantastic scenery, you retain the sounds of nature instead of overlaying some inappropriate electric guitar or pop music like so many other youtubers do.

@TaylorBlack0 4 года назад

Cool! You can see the International Space Station flyby in the overnight timelapse! Great video as always.

If you drink the water you cooked the nettles in it tastes great and is packed full of goodness :)

@janicemiersma9561 4 года назад

Loved this video and especially the night sky! Getting out in the woods is so therapeutic. I'll be thankful when the rain slows down in Alberta as everything is very muddy Edmonton and north. And the mosquitos are fierce! Thanks so much for your work.

@FF7824 4 года назад

Nice video Slim. Photography was great, as usual. Good travels,

@beachbum9869 4 года назад

As usual, another great video. Thank you. That was interesting about the stinging needles. You should add more about getting food from the woods. You say they taste like spinach? I would live to try them. Have fun. Keep up the great work and stay safe and stay healthy.

@timcomer262 4 года назад

Nice mix of natural surroundings and trailer talk. And great to see your mealtime prep! Keep it up.

@deepeastart8272 4 года назад

Really nice, your cinematic quality is pro level, very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing your adventures and edible weed cooking instructions! My mother's nettle patch was a constant irritation (pun intended) when I had to mow the lawn. I knew they were edible but never tried them, now I wish I had.

@HTC9184 3 года назад

I grew up watching Marty Stouffer’s Wild America ( and now own all the DVDs) and you remind me so much of Marty’s style and that is a compliment!!! Love your videos. ❤️

Congratulations on your first camper Carol! I'm sure it will lead you to many adventures. Drive safe! SP

@danielvasquez9419 3 года назад

Thank you very much. I watch all sorts of and travel and camping RU-vid Productions. And you are the first one to show me what the night's looks like where they're at sure. I live in a small City in Southern California. And I am lucky if I see a few planets a few Stars. So I'll go out into the desert so I can see the Milky Way. And I am sure you Travelers see this every night. But nobody ever shows it.

@thizizliz 4 года назад

Dinner looked good. I will mind your warning about sleeves should i ever encounter nettles on trail. Some folks use them for tea as well. Great news about the mpg. So more comfort & greatrr economy as well! Wonderful.
