  • In this video I share a snow day at my camp at Oliver Reservoir in Bushnell, Nebraska. The light snow really made the area look beautiful. I take a walk around and then get a campfire going to keep warm. I cook up a nice comfort meal for the cold day. Thanks for joining me.
    *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!

    There is a special feeling to enjoy when the first snow arrives. Calm, rest, I earned my living as a gardener in CA for thirty years before moving to Montana. My first winter was so serene. I had a couple of months off to rest or cultivate other interests. The quiet beauty still brings my great joy.
    Your meal was a perfect stick to your ribs warming dish. May you be filled with peace. May you be safe and well. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving.

    With Thanksgiving just a couple of days away, I have been reflecting on what I am truly thankful for having in my life, and after this video, I am truly thankful for having a toasty warm dwelling for which to call home. Doesn't get much simpler. God Bless, and to Brian, and everyone that is here, a Very Happy Thanksgiving to all. 🦃🦃🦃

    The Loco Moco looks incredible. I have never heard of it but will have to try it soon. It sounds like the perfect comfort food. I saw online some recipes for it with spam instead of hamburger, that sounds like another healthy version, NOT! I will plan on trying both. Thanks for another great video.

    The snow is very pretty watching it on your video. I too love to see the seasons change. I used to love snow when I was young. However, at my age the only way I like to see snow is like this.

    I know hot and cold are relative, but I shivered when you said it was fifty-seven in the van, and it was "nice and toasty." Yeah, better than sub-freezing outside, but I'm the type of wimp who fires up the heat when it's below sixty in my van. :D

    Hey Brian, fantastic video! I love seeing the snow like that clinging to the branches. I love the changing of the seasons also. You can tell how much you love it by the expression on your face while out there walking. That meal with the fire roasted burgers and the rest looked delicious too. It doesn't get much better than eating around a campfire while enjoying nature.
