Rattlesnake Stick #67 and Exploring a Cave

SEE MIKE STINNETT'S MOST RECENT CARVING PROJECTS AND EXPLORE A MOUNTAIN CAVE
In this video I show you my latest Rattlesnake walking stick and I make a carved Serpentine stone pendant. I also explore an old Indian cave in the mountains and show the beauty of springtime.
Please educate yourself before eating any wild plant and be very sure that you know that what you're eating is edible.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Rodney! I do hope you get well soon! It's always good to hear from you, my friend.

[@giorgioverde2174]

è sempre un grande piacere guardare i tuoi video, la natura che si trova in quei luoghi, il cielo, i prati, mi sembra di sentirne gli odori mi immergo anch'io immaginando di essere lì. io amo queste cose appena posso scappo nei boschi da solo per assaporare ogni singola nota della sinfonia della natura. bravo Mike continua così,dai una carezza a Pearl da parte mia! ancora complimenti per i tuoi lavori

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Giorgio, for your kind comment! I'm glad that you share my enthusiasm for the outdoors and understand why I love it!

[@Kshatriya-bz8dd]

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you! It is a real pleasure and privilege to be able to go out and enjoy the country!

[@bigbear1970]

You make my day. We love seeing you and Pearl's adventures. Thank you.

Love watching. Relaxing and slow paced life appreciating natural beauty all around and seeing great potential all around in rocks and trees. You are adding to the beauty of creation by taking what’s been created and with your gift & ability, continue the creation story. How faithful you are to being fruitful and multiply. Blessings to you!

[@gabingauthier-loedec4498]

I'm French, and where I live, there is some good panoramas and vineyard, so I'm not really complaining. But sometimes, I really appreciate to look some american panoramas and saying "One day, I'll do a road trip in U.S to see all of this". The big fields, or simply the forest, where you live or where Goldguy live, I would love to go there and just enjoy. This is really beautiful, to see in your videos all the animals coming, when you work or when you simply make à real coffee. I would love to do that but I don't think I can "abandon" my family like this. And I think this is better when you come just for travel, even two weeks per year, the pleasure is maximum. Just to say, I have a real respect to your work, your family doing all the camera job, and your videos are just amazing, even if there is no WIFI I would go there :D

[@StinnettSticks]

It is great to hear from you, Gabin! The Pacific Northwest would be a great place for you to vacation with many beautiful places for you to see and things to do. I hope you will be able to visit it someday! There's also plenty of WIFI! haha! My family thanks you for your compliments!

[@nevinhalteman1581]

Wow u really are a true artist and craftsmen thank you for sharing your story

[@jamesmerritt4315]

Looks real the walking stick

[@aiferapple1246]

Mike, you are so right to say to make sure what you're eating. The bluebell looks very similar but will give you a very bad day if you eat that

[@billyoerg]

The a stunning area you are blessed to live in. Those caves I'm sure saw many generations of Native Americans. Your stone work is as beautifully crafted as you woodwork. Thanks the another fine video. Bill

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Billy! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and appreciate your comment.

[@raymondhodge3979]

Great video as always. The buffalo carving is awesome, looks like pearl really loves exploring her back yard. Thanks for sharing.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Raymond and you're very welcome! I always enjoy carving Serpentine. I hope to do more of it in the future. Pearl does love exploring!

[@highlonesomebluegrass8286]

Mike, that sure is some pretty country out there. If the rollin hills of old Virginia didn't have my heart I believe that's where I'd want to be. Awesome video, that little fawn was gettin cleaned up by mama!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thanks! I really like the country, here, but I'm sure Virginia is beautiful, too!

[@kennymysak2079]

great job on all your carving. seeing momma and her new fawn was really something. keep up the great video's

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Kenny! I really enjoyed seeing the fawn and I was so happy to be able to catch it on video!

[@albaltus9035]

Watching your video is like meditation. I love it. Hope you will make other stone sculpture videos in the future. thanks for sharing.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Al! I appreciate the interest in my stone carving. I'll be sure to document my next stone project.

[@payebarragan6102]

Love nature like you my friend!!!😀👍

[@StinnettSticks]

Nice to hear from you, Paye!

[@orlikfist]

Wow this is just gorgeous and I mean everything: the nature, your art, the music, the peace. Mike, thanks for sharing it all with us. I love you man and your vids. I wish I could visit those places one day and breath the air and experience the Oregon nature. The wildlife seems to be at peace and not concerned about your presence. Thanks for the video.

[@StinnettSticks]

It is a privilege to get to experience the peaceful surroundings and wildlife in my area. I really enjoy it and am glad to be able to share it with all my friends like you, here, on youtube. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Perhaps one day you will get the chance to visit this wonderful countryside.

[@tarz9386]

LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE MY COLORADO, PEARL SURE LIKES THE CAVES. THANK YOU VERY REFRESHING.

[@chrisfarleylover]

Mike Tarzwell I was thinking the same thing, Colorado native here!

[@StinnettSticks]

You're sure welcome! Yeah it is a lot like Colorado. Pearl was so fascinated by the cave, she didn't want to leave. lol

[@stephenandcas]

Another wonderful video. So interesting and peaceful

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Stephen!

[@krisfailla3216]

You did it again, another wonderfully beautiful, relaxing video. The music in your videos so so calming . I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Kris!

[@wvoutdoorsman5326]

Your videos are so relaxing!!! Really enjoy watching you and miss Pearl😊

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

I feel so relaxed after watching your videos my friend....thank you. It's great when you can come across history like that, campfires stories told umpteen times, families grow, move but leave their mark, all wonderful stuff. That Serpentine is found here in the UK too, strange that the place that has it is called The Lizard, in Cornwall, beautiful stone... Great videos mate, thanks for sharing 👍🏼😊

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Marc! It is inspiring to visit the history and imagine the story. Perhaps you'll be making your own carvings from the Lizard Query. I appreciate your comment!

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

The only time I'd get a chance to find some serpentine would be if going on holiday to there, 250 miles away from me and though it may not sound far in your country, it's a 7 hour journey here!!...wouldn't mind a trip though, beautiful area..👍🏼😊

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Wayne!

[@johngoodall7097]

Mike, the rocks in your cave adventure appear to be flint, like we have in the south of England near where my sister lives, and is often used in those parts for walls of houses, and is hard, and durable, as your Native American arrowheads. You seem to be able to make anything, and now using Serpentine rock, it is wonderful what you can turn your hand to. What I wonder will be in your next video!!! Cheers from John.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, John! I appreciate the information about the rock in the cave. I'll have to investigate it further and see if it is useful. Thanks for watching!

[@cheath1018]

[@Afrikitty]

Hi, Mike, I always worry that you'll come across some snake or other in these mountains. Have you ever come across any on your wanderings? I just also worry that Pearl would come out of there shaking a snake, the way my dogs used to back in Namibia when I lived there. They weren't much bigger than Pearl. I loved the stick at the beginning of the video and the carvings at the end of the video. Take care now. Kind regards. Liz.

[@StinnettSticks]

Hi Liz! I worry about Pearl, too, and I'm always watching out for her. We don't come across snakes very often. Hope all is well with you and it's always nice to hear from you!
