This is the real deal. No drama, just good information. Slim has come a long way with his camera skills. I was professional photographer for 25 years back in the film days. He puts many people to shame with the quality. I love his use of early morning light and late afternoon lighting.

Slim, I subscribed a while back after watching the ammo can stove. So, I thought of you as a clever repurposer. Now I find out you're giving Nat. Geo. a run for their money in well filmed and narrated videos. You are a man of many talents . I find your videos entertaining, interesting, and informative. Keep 'em comming!!

Loved the music & your hat when you wandered around the cars @Devil's playground. Slim, consider wearing a think pair of gloves when out hiking, something to protect the palms & fingers of your hands if you trip & fall. I sincerely hope you will visit the nearby Bristlecone Pine Forest North of Bishop, CA. These Bristlecone Pines grow in only 2 places, the other is in the Great Basin National Forest in Eastern Nevada.

I love the grandeur of the desert, especially when it's been it's been rained on and there's so many colors from the flowers and from the beautiful sunsets and sunrises. I was stationed at 29 Palms with the Marines and actually got to drive a generals wife and an ambassadors wife on a tour of the Joshua tree national monument. I was driving an olive drab 1974 Ford LTD and I was the duty driver for the day at the motor pool and was glad that I was, for once! I love the desert!

I have watched almost every one of your videos, but it seems that each one, no matter whether which one I view, your photography is simply outstanding. I am an advanced photographer, and I know more than the guy who just fell off the turnip truck. Slim, you really know how to tell a story in pictures. I always like the way you break up the videos with your little repair jobs. I have said this before, but I have been a boater on the Ohio River for 50 years, and there is not that much difference. Keep up the good work.
