Slim's Lost Oregon Video!

As I continue working on modifications to my new trailer, I found an old video I forgot about. This is my travels through Central Oregon last fall. In case you were looking, I was not referencing any video on "Killer Squirrels", it was just a silly parody!

Bend isn't a "little town" anymore, Slim! If you continue to have problems with your Jeep, maybe it's time to trade it in for a more rugged road vehicle. At least you broke down on a pleasant day. Time for a stroll in the woods.......uh-oh, here comes Yogi & Boo-Boo :)> Great video!

Thank you Slim for finding this for us. While the world shuts down it is imperative artists like you keep our sanity intact. Stay safe and tell all your viewers to stop hoarding the toilet paper :P

I agree, with all the chaos of the Corona virus, it's nice to travel thru Oregon with you and see that cute Killer Chipmunk, lol. Hope your repair bill wasn't too bad.

@johnmcquay82 4 года назад

With all the people hoarding rice, pasta and toilet paper, I guess there is one takeaway; with what I know about digestion, half of the hoarders still won't have enough, and the other half won't be taking a crap until long after the pandemic is over.

@rickvega9943 4 года назад

Checking your water pump...Turn the engine off..If you can grab your fan with both hands move it forward & back and left to right ..if there is play in the shaft that usually means your water pump is going bad. That's how we did it years ago I think this still works today. I am 68 years old and changed four water pumps in my time it was no big deal as long as you have the right tools..New water pump you should also change your thermostat and check your belts/pulleys/hoses/coolant . Don't depend on your local mechanic to do the right thing for you. Thank you for the video.

@warrendejager1273 4 года назад

from south africa..... you looked tremendously happy in your egg, but personally, i'm gonna miss the A.... it was unique.... yip..... different.... something about camping in something different strikes a harmonious chord with me... my camper, i built over a weekend, in my neighbour's driveway, cause mine is sloped, consists of a canvas rooftop tent, mounted on a 2m flat trailer, but the tent does not fold up... kinda sa's first, one and only canvas caravan .... my next project is a 3 wheeled scooter delivery van witha rooftop tent and backpacking gear.... its about having fun.....

Two of the most special weeks of my life. Hopefully 2021 will see us back there. Thank you for posting and bring back so many memories.

@joantharp8973 Год назад

Hi Sllim. I really enjoy your videos. I have an Aliner camper, which I just purchased two months ago. Your tips on successful travel in an Aliner have be very helpful. The real reason I enjoy watching you is because you easily blend with your surroundings and have such a pure gentle relationship with nature. I'm an older camper just getting started on the trailer adventures. You've been an inspiration , thanks so much.

Aaaaah ... last fall ... It was a good time here too ... With spring upon us we should be thinking about getting out and exploring again ... but now ... parks are closing ... Many people are afraid to make plans ... Traveling seems to be on the back burner for now, but I'm so glad we can still look back and remember with great videos. Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories of last fall.

@efzapp7 4 года назад

Slim, I'd like to tell you just how much I enjoy your videos and the incredible story-telling. I started the video but had to do something in the kitchen so I turned up the volume and just listened to your story. Now I have to watch it! Thanks!

@oceanbrzzz 4 года назад

I had a (technical) project in Bend, OR not that long ago. Interesting and pretty area. Sadly, never explored much when I traveled for business. I appreciate your comments about instinct. That “feeling” has saved me a few times. Oh my, a shoe tree...LOL. That tow truck driver was great to drop your camper at a Camp site - well, you did have insurance! Lovely interlude and music. I always learn something from every video you post. Thank you for this return trip video!

Thanks for the great video of my state's back yard. Good shot of the Oregon Grape, and I hope that deer signed a release to be on the video. If you're ever in that neck of the woods again, there are some great campgrounds north of Camp Sherman along the Metolius River, low rates for overnight stays.

Hello Slim, thanks for the wonderful video. Glad the jeep wasn't too bad. I was a mechanic throughout my years. I do know there are issues with different brands but like you I do not try to put blame for a breakdown on Brand. I tell others that 'if man built it, it is subject to failure without any given notice', it the human factor, lol. One thing I learned over the years is mechanical things can and will break.

A lot of times when you put new belts and tensioners on a system the weakest bearing will go next, P/S, Alt, or W/P. It may cost more but get the W/P and tensioners with pulleys done also so you have all under warranty. Great video and your a natural!

@brightondude9327 4 года назад

On the subject of people living in RVs. We have this in Europe as well of course and house dwellers are forever bitching about them, claiming they bring crime etc. However when I see a cluster of RVs with people obviously living in them I think to myself how much more damaging to the environment would be a small town housing those people. If people want to live in RVs then well and good. There will be good and bad people living in RVs just as there are good and bad people living in houses.
