- In this video we are in the Cibola National Forest in New Mexico. I spend a relaxing day in camp enjoying the cool mountain temps while do some wood carving.
Thank you for being here.
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!

BEAUTIFUL capture of hummingbird!
Hi Brian, I always look forward to and really do enjoy your videos. They are an escape from the craziness of UA-cam and life in general. I really appreciate the quiet, peaceful way you present each video. And yes, I'd love to see you make your spoons and spreaders available for purchase! You do such beautiful work! It was really enjoyable to see how you go about crafting one of your spreaders. And, if I was traveling, I'd want to find spots just like the ones you stay in. I still remember the absolutely gorgeous camp you found outside of Tucson -- the desert at its most lovely! Thank you for sharing your experiences. It is most appreciated! In love and light, Dara
That horned lizard is so small, I've only seen the larger ones... great eye! Beautiful spreader carving ✌☮
Nice carving project. I know you have had lots of practice. If it were me, I would be in the emergency room....love the horned toads and hummers!
You have a knack for finding little pieces of heaven on your travels. That place definitely is a piece of heaven.
Your hummingbird footage is top notch!
I enjoy seeing and hearing the great sights and camps you create. As I get older, 66 now more things keep me from camping as id like to.. My soul misses the peace and joy of relaxing after camps set up. Fixing dinner on or near the fire. Waking to the damp, cool morning to the sounds of the birds and campfire.
Thanks for sharing with us.
I love your carved kitchen implements. Fun to watch other peoples hobbies and the wood you pick is beautiful.
Hummigbirds are such amazing birds. I thought i had a lot of bees around my porch, then i realized they were humming birds. Now i have several humming bird feeders in my yard. I love sitting out on my porch in the evening to watch them.
Very nice looking spot
Hello Kelly , Brian and Mr. Hobbs. Your site on a mountain is so fantastic. Majestic, peaceful, and serene. Equipped with a hummingbird feeder and all. I had no idea Brian what a talented wood carver you are. Your work is definitely worth selling. Actually you are multi
talented. An excellent cook and craftsman/ cabinet builder. Kelly hang on to him! Mr. Hobbs is so precious, he looks so sweet in his sunglasses. He knows his retirement years are the best life ever. Many blessings to all of you. Your friend, Louise
Really enjoyed this vid. Thank you for sharing, Brian!
I want a beautiful campsite thanks for sharing it with us. Was fun watching you make that knife, looks really nice. Can I have it?😂 haha just kidding, yes you should keep it for yourself. Another great video thanks for sharing
Your videos are always so relaxing. The landscape is always some of the most breathtaking , ThankYou for taking the time to share with us. Looking forward to the next one.
I love that you are making useful items that will only get better looking with use. You picked a beautiful site for your camp. Thanks for sharing.
So very relaxing Brian & visually so beautiful. I've missed seeing the carving, spreader turned out great. Kelly made me laugh with those sunglasses on Hobbs. This video had bunches of good stuff. ✌️💚
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing your wood carving skills
Its a cool thought to know that you uploaded your videos with Starlink and im now watching them on mine in my living room 🤗
I really enjoy watching your videos stay safe in your travels
Data traveling through time and space!🚀💫
Thanks for sharing your woodworking craft. Awesome! Peace. ☯️
Great video. Love the grain in the spreader. Hobbs is really acclimating to his new chapter in life, thanks to you and Kelly. He likes his new outdoor cot.
What a view of your slice of heaven. Thanks for sharing!
Toledo 💙
a lovely simple place to sit down and relax at, do some hand work and film a moment with the humming birds, sighs.... felt soothing , thanks Brian
Nice woodwork, really nice. Growing up in west Texas we had more little 'horny toads' than a person could count. Then the fire ants moved in and began destroying the huge red ant mounds...the primary food source for horny toads. The population decreased dramatically over the years. There are still horny toads, but nowhere near the numbers we had in the 60s through the 70s.
Love that spot! Great looking utensils Brian. Hi Kelly! Thanks for sharing my friend I've yet to meet 😎 ✌️
Thanks for the nice Monday surprise! And I was JUST wondering if you were still carving, Brian. Loved seeing the new spreader being made ❤
What a beautiful area.
Hummingbirds have tongues, I never would have thought!
If you live in an area where hummingbirds migrate for the season. Put up a feeder if you can. I do a feeder and a hummingbird bath for them. You will be amazed how many show up for a bath. Especially on a hot day.
Oh Brian I really enjoyed the process of the woodworking. Years ago I learned bladesmithing on YT and loved it but the brutal hits of the hammer destroyed my wrist, didn't have a proper anvil too heavy, so I stopped but have some awesome knives that I made first. Just fire and files. Some 16 incher's and one 36 incher. Wrist recovered nicely once I stopped and that is why I'm an 'Old Man On An XT250' STILL. Thanks for sharing your process. Craig C.
Great show, like I told you before, I would love to have one these. You could make a killing marketing these. Just sayin.
Beautiful sound of the wind. Peaceful video thanks Brian
The NM mountains are stunning and the bird photography breathtaking. I especially enjoyed watching your carving; I’ll be re-watching that. Thank you..
Super kool spot, that hammock view was It!!! . Bro, the spoons and the wood grain is top notch. Well done🤙🤙Be blessed ya all.... were still gettin blown away here in Idaho. im tapped, like a week till June, in the 30s at nite still.
Very nice video. May I order a carved wood coffee cup?
Yeah, Amazon has some.🤣✌🏼
Hope things are good with you man🤙🏼
@@AdventureVanMan hahaha, ok. I’m good thanks
@StaticCamperVan 😉
Omg I use to catch those horned ones as a child love them❤❤❤❤ aborable
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Another awesome video Brian!
The adventure continues!!!! Love these videos, very grounding
Is that buzzing audio on my end or yours Brian ? I’m sorry I didn’t go through the comments or remember if you’ve addressed it. Any hoo. I shall continue to watch the rest of the video. “Away we go!”
yeah, I talked about it in a previous video. Had a mic go bad on me. 🤙🏼
No worries I must’ve missed that one. Regardless your videos are always so great and well edited 👊 love your channel
Lol like your t shirt cute❤❤❤❤
Thank you for another chill video. I love that you and Kelly have kept your own style when it comes to cooking and plating things up. I love your wood utensils, you are an artist. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Safe travels.
Beautiful work on the spreading knifes and other items!
Hobbs in sunglasses… it doesn’t get sweeter. Oh, and hi to Brian and Kelly! ✌️❤️🚐
❤ this is so awesome you are so patient❤
Killer spot! Nice job on the spreaders
Have always loved your hand made spoons. A nice touch for any kitchen. Dinner looked great too 👍
Man o man, those sharp tools remind of Ramsey Bolton in Game of Thrones! If I ever run into Kelly or the Adventure Van Man, you can count on me to be EXTRA POLITE around you!
🤣🤙🏼
What no hot sauce? Sacrilege. You had a small table / TV tray that has slats for the table. I'd like to know where you got it. Is it metal?
As usual, I always enjoy the videos. Been watching for years now.
Hey I said I used Tapatio!!🤣
That table was from Walmart. I don't have it anymore but it was a good little table. It's made from aluminum. I believe Walmart still sells them in the camping section.🤙🏼
No need for a mason jar, just keep and use the peanut butter jar when it's empty.
I keep them because they make great storage jars, and won't break like glass mason (or sauce) jars. Also mayo containers.
good tip, but to small for my use. Needs to be at least 10in tall. 👍🏼😊
Brian I absolutely love the spoon with the spiral handle, and of course the spreader. You are so talented! I would definitely love the chance to purchase either. I have been wanting to do something as far as a donation to you for new equipment or anything that you may need in your travels and filming. You were the first “traveler “ I started to follow after my heart problems almost two years ago. Your videos have brought me so much peace and joy. I appreciate all the time and talent you put into all you do! I also was wondering if you ever considered selling photos of some of the landscapes and sunsets you have shared?
Thank you. I have given thought to photo prints or a calendar with my photos. I've also considered doing little photo 'booklets'. I am going to challenge myself to get a website up by the year's end. That would probably be the best way to make carvings and photos available. Thank you again for your positive support.😊
Beautiful woodworking. Nice peaceful setting
Hi Brian, longtime viewer and fan. love the campsites you have gone to. Especially like the carving you do. How do you keep the knives sharp? G
Thanks, I use a leather strop.
Such a peaceful soul.... thank you
How often do you need to sharpen that carving knife?
I usually strop it a dozen or so times during a small carving like this one.
Loved the slo-mo hummingbird footage. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Wood Craftsmanship. Love the Sunglasses on Hobbs!!
Hobbs living his BEST life !!!! 😎 NICE work with the carvings, Brian ...... 👌👍👍
Oh, I really appreciate that you shared the carving for us. It's so very cool! Turned out beautiful!
Hobbs with the sunglasses!
🐾❤🐾
The capture of the humming birds is pretty cool too!
I have been watching you for years I have a request will you play the flute once in awhile I love it when you play thank you
Pretty area have everything nice always love watching you cook food always looks delish❤❤❤❤
Hi Brian. Never miss a video since the Dodge van days.As a trucker who lives in a small space I really like what you’ve done with your box truck. Nice carving work as well. 👍🏼🇨🇦
Beautiful camp. Love the hummingbird
Love the carved wood spoons!
Fabulous wood knife you made. Digging the videos, really nice and peaceful.
Yes! I would definitely purchase!
What type of oil do you recommend?
Usually different oils are depending on how dark you want the final product. Flaxseed oil will be darker than something like walnut oil or food grade mineral oil being the lightest coloration. Flaxseed is a good all around oil to use and is usually available at grocery or health food stores.
You guys always find the best camping spots😊
Good video. You have some skill in woodworking, great job. Awesome campsite.
Beautiful wood grain on your spreader! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!
Whether you're traveling, cooking or whittling away, your videos are always interesting!
Nice area, great looking tacos, good job on the knife. Looks very functional. Oh and great videography on the humming birds. Thanks for sharing Brian
You are my first you tube ch and you havent change your still sweet and wonderful❤❤❤❤
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing your carving methods. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I fell like I could try now. ❤ You always find such nice places to park. Beautiful place.
Absolutely love your videos. Thanks so much for making them and sharing your life style with us.
Love the carving. Beautiful spot.
Your videography skills are amazing! Thanks again for all your videos! I've watched every one and still look forward to the next one!
Brian thank you. That spot was such soul food. Loved the new spreader! Have always admired your carving talents. Hello to Kelly and your little Rockstar Hobbs. What a cool little dude!! 🐶 🕶 ❤ 🙋♀️🚐 🌏
Nice tranquil video! Thank you Brian!
Nice job guys, pretty area... I'll have to look for a good carving set on Amazon. Looks fun!
Great video. Awesome footage of hummingbirds!
I have been wanting to see a good spoon carving video.
PS. You should maybe have a video sharpening your carving knives.
If a hummingbird weighed a half of a pound they would be dangerous.
Beautiful campsite and lovely video. I would 100% buy hand carved tools/spoons from you! If you do sell them, don’t put such a low price on them you are selling yourself short though. Happy travels you guys!
I’m not sure who looks most relaxed, you in the hammock or Hobbs on his platform and blankets! Lovely, nice video!💜TN Nana
I’m really interested in buying some of your wood art! Is Etsy a possibility? Anyways, excellent video as always. I’m so relaxed after all the carving.😊
Love this campsite.... hoping Kelly is keeping a list of best places to set up for 2 weeks.. and hoping she'll share it with me. 😊🩵
Very nice camera work with the hummingbirds thanx!
👋☺️👍 Thank you for a very enjoyable vlog in a most beautiful place. ❤
Another great video Brian, very relaxing. 👍 Makes me yearn to get out there and do some camping. Enjoyed seeing Hobbs in sunglasses, he’s pretty chill to wear them. Also the hummingbird show was awesome, the slo-mo sequence really showed their grace and beauty!
It was a nice video. Your Hobby looks like fun. The spreaders came out nice I enjoy making wood carved signs with a Router and sand and finished You made Tacos and I got hungry and was going to make some tacos but I didn't I went to In and out instead. Double.Double Animal. fries and a large chocolate shake. Now I'm sleepy but I have to install some new running boards for my truck. Take care bye Hobbs and Kelly too.
Nice location, thanks for the video......Glad to see that you are still enjoying all those nice places. Take care
Thanks for the content, Brian! Big hummingbird guy here...I think the territorial behavior is why you see a lot of folks hang several feeders...although they will still compete...The more you watch them and if even see them in slow motion they are quite violent as they dive bomb on another! Any thoughts to setup a regular bird feeder as well?
Such a beautiful campsite you found! I love both of the spreaders and it was really interesting seeing one made. The hummingbirds were amazing and what a great filming job. AND I discovered a hatch green chilis last winter while in NM and brought several jars home with me. Wonderful in stew and omelettes as well as quesadillas.
Greetings from New Zealand. Beautiful video of your surrounds. The Hummingbirds, and the way you slowed the speed so we could see more detail, was interesting. I've never seen one. Your wood carving is a great little hobby for vanlife. Reminds me of a soup spoon that my daughter carved at school when she was 11yo. Got thrown out with the kitchen scraps into the compost 😢
Hey Brian, I've tried finding a Mora carving set to no avail. Can you tell me where you got yours? Take care ✌️
How very cool to be able to, what do they call it...Wittling? I would definitely purchase! Thanks for sharing.
Yea that a super relaxing video for sure. You are a talented carver and that footage of the hummingbirds was top notch. Well done. Safe Travels Amigos 👊
Nice to see you carving again. Wood shavings for your starter for your next fire...😊
Hummingbird slow motion was incredible! Well done.
Liked the carving. Thanks for the hummingbird video! Being a native of Michigan I always smile at the Bad Ax shirt!
Nice carving, my hands are getting weaker so now I use a Dremel with a flex shaft and a kutzall burs, keep up the great work!
Brian, I have a solar power hummingbird bird bath I hang by my feeder. It will also attract them to the feeder you are using. You may want to look into one. It's very beneficial to hummingbirds. Helps them cool off and keep clean. You do need to keep the water fresh but on a hot dry day they will really love it. Happy Travels.
