Arkansas: The Most Underrated Wilderness Camping

[@tallsteve31]

Add some salsa to that breakfast sandwich...game changer!!

[@debbyrymer9298]

We all say something that gets under others Skin especially if you are around them enough so that means someone is watching you a lot and that’s a good thing. My Anti is always saying : (you know) but I know I must say something as well so Cody it just means you’re part of the family 👍

[@lynnsteiner1580]

Your tent camping meals are impressive.

[@kristinstewart2738]

Love that you made this! It's one of the most beautiful places in the world. lived off of Trail 86 (off of Hwy 7 near Hollis). It's where I first saw the milky way, a tornado, and so many other firsts in my life. There are so many stories to tell about these places and those mountains.

[@tammybartelt7170]

I love you're videos, Bing watching all of them.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

beautiful crick! Burnt Bacon is so much better when camping! 🥓 Thanks for sharing the adventure

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for watching! Burnt bacon is better.

[@ericgamble9153]

That’s some mighty pretty country. Must be even more so this time of year. Don’t like sleeping in hammocks either. Kills my old back. Really impressed with the meals y’all cook up. Got me thinking about how to better prepare.......

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching!

[@kellyhays23]

Wow that creek is so pretty! What a beautiful place to spend valentines together! & Kellie always cooking bomb food! Great video!

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for watching!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Great video guys! That area looked beautiful. Drone shots were dopeeeeee! Excited for the next one.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you so much!!! It will be a little.

[@theparkreport2251]

looks fun!

I'm so glad to find your channel! I know this area well. While I now "Glamp" nearby (wife likes those creature comforts:) I still managed to log 156 foot miles in the ONF this past Nov-Dec. I park and walk with the compass... old school stuff. I wish I could convey what a treasure this place is to folks here in Arkansas. I've been to most of the places you folks have shared in your videos. Been kayaking around these parts for 25 years now....hiking and camping for twice that..almost......showing my age, right?! It's a joy to see that in this generation, how do I say it without offending the metro folk....your generation out there experiencing the splendor we have at our backdoor! I appreciate how you folks keep it simple and minimalist. I knew when you put the chairs in the middle of the road to see the Milky Way that you have indeed experienced some of the same incredible things I do when I'm out there. DO NOT ever change the cooking/meal part of the vids.....very good! I've tried several of her recipes.......simple and brilliant....and TASTY! Well done you two...hope to cross paths sometime!!! Frank

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for all your kind words! When we first started camping like this, we were telling people how amazing Arkansas nature is, how we don’t really ruff it, and how we also get to basically go on vacation every weekend. However, they did not believe us. So that’s when we thought... well let’s start a KZbin channel and show them. Our goal is to inspire others to get out of the metro life and reconnect with nature. You start to find out whats really important in life. We used to be the people who needed all the material things, and wanted the latest and greatest gear. But the more we spend out there the less we want to have, and the more we just get want we need. Thank you so much for your support, and we will keep it simple for sure. If you ever see us, please stop and say hi!

[@DonnieHudson]

Man I love you guys. My favorite scene is y’all preparing dinner and the sound of the river running in the background.

[@CodyandKellie]

It is always strange to leave a place where you hear that for over 24 hours and then you leave and it’s quiet.

[@DispersedCamperMan]

Beautiful area at the Floating Tree. Can't beat camping out next to a stream, very relaxing. That was a 5-Star dinner you cooked up. That looked good! Thanks for picking up that trash. Some people shouldn't be allowed in the forest. Thanks for sharing.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for watching!

[@KodyKline]

Good to see you both out again and what an awesome area that my wife and I will have to check out...We from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, but always enjoy Arkansas RZR and ATV riding trails, camping and hiking. Good Job. I am ready for summer!!! Over 1000 Subscriber mark....keep living large!

[@CodyandKellie]

Hey Kody. We remember you telling us that yall lived near Broken Arrow. Beautiful area up y'alls way for sure. Summer is just around the corner!!! Well, spring then summer. Yeah we are so excited to be over 1000k. Have yall been doing any dutch oven cooking?

[@benjaminsanchez1962]

love your camping style. subbed.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@elishafore2865]

That's a really nice spot! my wife and I went canoe camping a couple weeks ago at lake Ouachita on a little dolphin shaped island, we found tons of 'gorgeous' quartz crystals. It was an amazing time and we may have never gone to lake Ouachita if I hadn't seen your channel 😁

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for watching! We are so excited that you enjoyed yourself out on the islands and found quartz crystals! We are not big lake people (enjoy moving water more) but there is just something magical about that lake. If you got any content, would love for you to share it in our Facebook Group! It’s called “Dome Life - The World From A Tent.”

[@elishafore2865]

@@CodyandKellie I will definitely check it out! I'm a big moving water person too but winter camping with a pregnant wife made the lake the perfect location.

[@ursinidaho]

Thank you for picking up other people's trash, and for educating people on pack it out. How do you not get lost when you go off trail?

[@CodyandKellie]

Cody has a great sense of direction

[@ursinidaho]

Nice!

[@gerardhoward5321]

We really enjoy your videos so much we are thinking of heading up to Arkansas to do some camping... But first we are headed to Fort Pickens florida March 15 you did an awesome video on that park too.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching! We’re going to Fort Pickens end of April, can’t wait we love that place! Enjoy your time there!

[@moderntentcamping]

Great video. Excellent photography. I love food too. You look like you eat so well on your camping trips. I tip my hat to you for picking up trash. I usually make a snide comment and then drive past. Your February trip looks much dryer than ours. We had one nice day and two cool Rainey days. Take care

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for your kind words and watching. We have had some heavy rain today.

[@aimes91225]

Girl, I'm living vicariously through you two! haha! There is no way we could do that with the twins. Well, or me...I don't like having to bundle up. :)

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you for watching Amy! Y’all could do it. 😂 You could try anyway. With kids it would be a lot of extra stuff. It wasn’t too cold this time. I will not camp under 35°. The dew is what makes it terrible. Our tent would be frozen and it didn’t even rain.

[@aimes91225]

@@CodyandKellie haha! 35 is still so cold. Maybe one day we will get to do something like that. The kids do love camping in the camper with my parents! :)

[@bertkelly7650]

Maybe do a gear review? Would like to know what you use. Thanks.

[@CodyandKellie]

Will do! Will have you one by tonight or tomorrow morning. Funny you should ask on this video, because while we recorded this one, we also did our gear review. Lol. Thank you for watching!!!

[@gofftroop95]

Yes this!!!

[@CodyandKellie]

@@gofftroop95 Will have one posted later tonight for y'all.

[@Itchin2Fish]

new sub! Your channel came across my recommendations. I'm from Arkansas as well and love to kayak camp. Just uploaded a video on it maybe that's how I came across yours. Ouachita is on my bucket list this year. What's a good area to look into camping wise where I can bring my kayak too?

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching! Lake Ouachita is a beautiful place to put a kayak in. You can go to little islands all over and have a private beach to yourself! They also have a few campgrounds all over. You can also camp on the islands!

[@gofftroop95]

Can you tell me what you keep in your hiking backpack? We are getting into day hikes/exploring and need some ideas on essentials. We aren’t too far from you - N.E. Oklahoma.

[@CodyandKellie]

We are so sorry, we had thought we responded to this. We keep a water filtration system, our water bottles, a small first aid kit, and our hammocks. We will also take something to snack. Sorry for the late reply.

[@carolstockman1681]

My concern it the ticks since I travel with a large dog. Arkansas is hot and humid so what did you notice?

[@CodyandKellie]

We do have ticks for sure. It’s common place for use to at least have one every weekend crawling on us from spring to early fall.

[@joeparker7508]

What kind of turp is that

[@CodyandKellie]

Walmart special. 10x12 I believe.

[@dawnrosser9350]

How do you guys find your camping spots?????

[@CodyandKellie]

Google maps and on x off road app

[@gabrielsholisticcare]

Cody I don’t know how you are not 300 pounds with that gorgeous woman cooking that gorgeous food! There I said it gorgeous!😂

[@markspearman8659]

He looks like Charles Mason.

[@CodyandKellie]

LOL. He gets that every now and then.

[@gabrielsholisticcare]

Again thank you too very much for cleaning up after stupid people!

Can you tell me what you keep in your hiking backpack? We are getting into day hikes/exploring and need some ideas on essentials. We aren’t too far from you - N.E. Oklahoma.

[@CodyandKellie]

Sure thing. On day hikes we normally just have our hammocks, water filtration system, knife, small first aid kit, swim wear if the weather is good, and our camera gear. If you would like, we can try and put together a little how to vlog and show you all that we have this weekend and post next week?

[@gofftroop95]
