I like Camper when he always sits and takes over the driver's seat, preventing Nikki from driving 🤣🤣🤣

[@katiegrip]

They love that lol. My dog Nelly does that at gas stations. 🤣😍

[@AdrianParker-h9m]

Nikki would make anyone smile,she always has a smile on her face, and always looks happy,she was born to make these videos, thanks Nikki.

[@dethray1000]

do you ever wonder when the camera is not rolling and she is in her own moments what she is like? she might be maniac depressive,bi polar

[@hinterwalder_in_l.a.7451]

Uh, maybe it's for show? Where's the dude from last week? Guess he got tired of sleeping outdoors in a tent and using a vault toilet, since her super-duper, fully-equipped motorhome lacks both a toilet and enclosed shower. Beats slumming it in a Prius, I guess.

Love the wild horses! I went on a hike near Reno NV and came upon a herd and I ended up sitting in the ground and they were walking around me eating. It was an amazing experience! I had my dog with me too so she chilled with me while I took photo. When I got up to leave some of them started following me!

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Wow! What an incredible moment!

[@lovinglife4962]

Eeekk! Thank you! 🥰 so lucky to have u along each week!

[@tonydacosta2273]

Breadmaker with a view! Great scenery with a tasty sandwich . Love what you do. Be careful, be happy. You are truly the happy camper!

[@sayitaintsl0w]

The wild horses are just amazing! Camper and his facial expression’s make me happy every single time I see him. He is a precious boy! He’s exhausted from that ebike ride! I have a business caring for dogs and have given thought to having an ebike to help exercise the pups. I like that yours in foldable and compact. Seems to do well in sand, so I imagine you can take it anywhere.

[@tommybasulto66]

Nikki, you are awesome and your buddy Camper is the best doggie anyone could ever want. Cheers.

[@dylancleary5237]

Sourdough 101… tips form a professional baker.. Add more water to your dough. Your hydration should be at least 75% of the withholding of your flour. So, say your flour is 400g .. your water should be around 300g. Your starter should be about 20% so about 80g. Salt should be about 2% so 8g. And no oil necessary for sourdough. The dough will look wet and messy and sticky at first but after a few folds (I recommend three at least) and at least 30 min resting in between, you’ll be shocked at how amazing and fluffy your loaf will come out, don’t forget to drop some ice cubes in with the loaf when you throw it on the heat. It’s needs the extra moisture to keep the crust from setting before the loaf has time to rise. Happy baking!

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Ohhhh I’ll try this!!!!

[@Crittermoto]

Came across wild horses this year, last time I was in Oregon, I got off the motorcycle and walked over the a watering hole, after about 15 minutes of watching them the alpha horse came over to say hi. Once it was determined that I wasn’t a threat the rest came over and went about their day: drinking and other horse stuff. It was so awesome to see them running and roaming free and to be right in the middle of it…..Magical! NOW THAT’S A SALAD! Great looking bread by the way.

[@cliffdavis5244]

Yes, that salad… Amazing❣️👏🏼

[@ÆNorthcutt]

There's nothing like some fresh baked sourdough bread 😋 I'll bet it's even more delicious over a campfire. I'm jelly!!

[@cliffdavis5244]

😂😂 i’m jelly too👍🏼

[@user70331]

Same, bakery do it at night, so by time I get it many hours stale, still good to eat, but nothing compares to fresh baked

[@jerryjerrylee]

The wild horses were nice, but Camper's Go Pro footage... his joy, anticipation, and excitement, it stole my heart and reminded me of all the fun i shared with my Sophia before she passed. Thank you for sharing.

[@rromero1318]

Every Friday I wait to see where you gonna take us and what adventures your doing!! I love your videos.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Thank you!!!

Me too. I love Camper and the whole experience. I'm enjoying the cooking also.

[@MOTrav]

I think Camper won the race! LOL Great way to get exercise and see the terrain. Roll on!

Wild horses couldn't drag us away from this cool visitation of america 🤗

[@bettyvarone4420]

Seeing the wild horses made my day, such a beautiful adventure, thank you so much.

[@blazerprophet]

Aside from the wild horses, which I loved, it was nice to feel a day or two in the life you live alone with some of the decisions you make. That sougherdough bread was incredible.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Thank you!!!!

[@lynnemac1402]

Seeing those horses running free was so beautiful and the scenery was stunning. Wonderful that you had it all to yourself with Camper. He is so fast, running with you on the bike and I loved Camper cam. Well done on the sourdough bread Nikki it looked and sounded delicious, as you really managed to get the crunchy crust. Have a great week x

[@kristyb3714]

They are but they won't be free much longer if the BLM has their way. They did another round up in NV where I live. Every year more are rounded up and sold at auctions.

[@JenniferEllis-lw7xe]

[@nanetticat]

Wow, the wild horses are so beautiful 😍 And the campsites you found had a perfect view🤩

[@MTBPerspective]

So glad you picked up an ebike and have plans to give Camper optional rides! I'm into all kinds of bikes but ebikes really open up options and take the dread out exploring where hills/headwinds may put a damper on the ride.

[@harrygrimley4352]

Nikki. It's so hard to think that what you are doing is also a business because it's so fun sharing your adventures with you and camper. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@cliffdavis5244]

That’s such a good exercise for camper running along side the bike!🎉❤

[@khope2580]

My son graduates in June of 2024, Ill be an empty nester at 37. This is my dream! More than likely with a pull camper because I have three dogs but I cannot wait to go on some adventures and see more of this country.

Lol thank you for sharing your delightful fun, Nikki and Camper! Now I am hungry for sourdough bread and pup fun! The horses are gorgeous and the land looks amazing in space WOW! i loved the end and made me laugh so much a cute Camper's adventures under brush! FIND that squirrel

[@CampingRuss]

Great footage of the horses. I love the camera on camper. Very cool if you beat an egg and brush it on the top of your bread, it leaves it a golden color. You can also use melted butter and FYI with all the Japanese ladybugs that are out these days check the roof of campers mouth every once in a while they like to hide where it is warm. I did not know this until I saw a picture the other day with a puppy had a ton of them on the inside of the roof of his mouth, just FYI a little dog puppy care ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

[@bobmirror7164]

I like my Lectric bike. It is easy to make a bracket to add over sized shopping baskets or a plastic tubs. I have had good luck at tying the baskets down to the brackets with quarter inch tent rope. The plastic 12-gallon tubs at the "big box stores" work well for storage baskets on my motorcycle and bike.

[@exlimey1417]

The Camper Cam is the most awesomest thing ever!

[@AlaskaErik]

Lynx has a chock that fits on the leveler blocks. Makes much easier when backing up by yourself and keeps you from overrunning when you're on the top leveler. I use mine anytime I'm backing my trailer up.

[@AL-vz7rz]

You know, I can't help but hear, "doing the same thing everyday". You know that's life. We all do the same thing everyday, it's called routine. At least, you get to change your scenery. Most humans are stuck in a cubicle and wish they were you. Don't let the haters get you down. They WISH they could be you. Smile.

[@USMC6976]

Only Nikki could describe a bunch of weeds, shaken up in a box, as a masterpiece.

[@steveh5335]

Whoa Nikki....Start right here with you are really the lucky one! Only a few things in life can match the beauty, grace, movement of these gentle but powerful creatures than a horse. Even better a herd of them. Great timing you have, Nikki. And you got the shot(s). Because wild horses will not pose or stop for humans, so you can take their picture. These horses do not want to be found. Although they seem to be drawn to you Nikki. Curious of the drone? Or maybe beauty attracts beauty?! That's what nature is about! And you experienced it up close, Nikki. Ofcourse it's the mtns, valleys, forests, deserts, bodies of water. But the wildlife, big or small is always awe-inspiring and encouraging to see. To be appreciated. Not hunted! (But don't get me started on that!). We can learn a lot from them if we would only open our eyes and ears. So Nikki, next step?....Time to take a ride?!.? And thanks for the morning coffee lesson, "Nikki Style". Added with it, that Smile you can't resist, the "get away with anything" Look and those Eyebrows always "up" to something!.(13:58)! Thanks. Take Care Nikki, Camper & newest rescue pup.(shhh). Steve...

[@charlesloeffler333]

When I back our trailer up on leveling blocks, I found using low-low 4 wheel drive works best, because it seems to be geared much lower and one can sneak up on the blocks more easily

🙋🏽‍♀️this was an amazing camp site to enjoy your breakfast ☕️🦴you both stay safe out there on those highways and byways 🙏🏽

[@douglasray3272]

Couple of hints on your bread from watching the lady that raised me make bread all the time. It is the the yeast feeding etc that makes the dough rise. They need warm and moist. Doing what you did with the bowl was great, but don't refrigerate. also putting it in an enclosed space that has a little tub of warm/hot water for humidity will increase the growth making the bread fluffier and lighter versus the more dense version you produced. Experiment with those factor to get the style you like, and will need to adjust for different types of bread if you try (like white, rye, wheat, etc.)

[@taniaprokop4395]

Love watching you and Camper. Camp is definitely the BEST copilot! Admire you for creating an organization to help folks and animals.

[@michaelwebb2642]

Omg the sour dough looks amazing. Love, love, love the 🐶Camper Cam. The video was super cool, all the different points of view. Super entertaining! The drone footage of the horses, omg! Wow!

[@jeffcordes1744]

I enjoy you and Campers adventures. I've had a rough summer that started with my 15 year old piebald long haired Dachsund Fritzie passing away. I miss him terribly So enjoying you and Camper distracts me from missing my Fritzie

[@joek6791]

Camper Rocks, Camper CAM was a nice touch , nice drone shots of the horse herd. Well done, surprised they did not get spooked by the drone. Will have to try it out on my local deer herd.

[@mjc4942]

So impressed by that drone in the wind, and by your first sour dough. I tried several times and didn't get it right.

[@calistograph]

Thanks!

[@toastmanmcgee2318]

Hey Nikki and camp, Ive never commented before but i just watched your new video and felt like, what's the better word, abliged or compelled? I think compelled because it comes from within to act and Ive loved your videos for a few years now. But abliged works too cause you've clearly worked so hard and deserve the recognition for that. I dunno, both work. Love everything you do and have done. Thank you for cheering me up at some low points i had. If your ever in Desert Hot Springs, I can get you into the best hot springs/mineral pools in the area for free as a guest for as many times as im alive. ❤

[@NikkiDelventhal]

I almost looked at land in desert hot springs! What spring is your favorite?!

Niiki and Camper, Loved seeing the wild horses. Really enjoyed seeing the beautiful countryside with the mountains in the background with snow on top. Camper reminds me so much of my dog, he's always got to be sleeping right under the covers with me or right next to me when out and about. Love your smile and everyone needs to understand that you don't always smile when things go wrong, you are human like the rest of us. We all have the happy and sad, angry, confused expressions just some of us choose to smile through even theough the hard times so others can remain uplifted. You keep smiling on your videos and your journey and we'll keep enjoying the journey with you and Thanks for all the hard work you do to put these videos together to bring a little joy into our lives and happy that you found a way to bring you income as well. As always sending vibes of Blessings and Love for your continued adventures on your journey through this life.

[@alowatsakima8950]

When we cook in the dutch oven, we have a chart for the number of charcoal for the top and bottom to make sure the heat is correct. But we have found lately that charcoal, varies in BTU by brands so we are making charts for each brand.

Upgrade (maybe?) of cameras or changes in video editing? I cant't tell for sure. In any case, it feels like the video has enhanced liveness! Bravo to you Nikki Delventhal, to Camber, and to your team!
