Learn about Jim Tabor, who is better known as Barefoot Carver and Spoon Man. He’s a Trail Angel who carves spoons and leaves them out on the Appalachian Trail as a bit of Trail Magic for hikers along the way. 

Jim shares his experiences of how he got into carving spoons, stories of some of the special spoons he’s carved and how he hopes that others are inspired to leave a little trail magic. 

Whether you are a thru hiker or just spend the day on the trail, you’ll be inspired by Jim’s story. And maybe even leave some of your own magic out on the trail - wherever that may be. 

Visit Jim’s Instagram to learn more about the spoons he carves and some of the adventures they have been on.
