Overview

CVMN Nation calls itself "a man's journey into all things survival." It's a YouTube channel and lifestyle brand about wilderness survival, outdoor skills, and Christian faith, started by Caleb Callahan and Daniel Dabbs of BattleBox, the company behind Netflix's Southern Survival.

I was on the production team from day one. Between June 2024 and January 2025 I shot and edited more than 30 videos, long form and shorts, with consistent color and motion graphics, and worked remotely with the creators to keep every edit true to the channel's voice. The biggest single job was Blade Show in Atlanta, where I was the whole crew.

Run-and-gun convention coverage in Atlanta: booth interviews, product demos, and live forging. I ran camera and audio across the two-day show, then cut about 18 hours of footage into 20 videos (8 long form, 12 shorts).
