Arkansas: The Secret Camping & Mountain Biking Paradise

[@donaldpump7962]

Think yall would ever do a price breakdown for a year? Also Arkansas should make yall an ambassador of recreation or something. Doing great work.

[@pageroo9644]

I swear I have learned soooo much about Arkansas' National Parks by watching their videos, it's no lie they are true ambassadors of their state!

[@jimbattista1120]

@@pageroo9644 agreed

[@alanosborne1947]

I have thought the same thing AND should pay you to be Ambassadors Of Arkansas Tourism!! What do you think about that?? 😃😃

[@crystalh1402]

Yep Visit Arkansas needs to at least have some of your drone and biking footage 👍

[@renaedrinkwater4598]

My Papaw was in the CCC's that built Devils Den State Park. My Papaw's name is the first one on the monument there.

[@chadjones5545]

I never want the videos to end!!! I love how excited y’all get when Jonathan shows up lol

[@hallelujahhomestead]

I just adore you two. “That’s pretty darn fancy right there. Real nice.” Sounds like something out of my own mouth.

[@shanecoite3292]

Looks like yall gave Johnathan the camping bug. Glad to see him in more videos. Important to spend time with family.

[@judyrobinson9556]

I'm with Kellie on that tech bike trail. I was scared just watching. Really looked dangerous. Glad you're feeling better Kellie. Wow that spinach and artichoke pizza!! Looked so good!! The campsite looked so nice. As Cody would say, it looked uptown high rent. Take care.

[@dinabutler5797]

That bike trail was insane!!!!😮

[@ChaseArkansas]

what an absolutely goreous place. fall in love with Arkansas more and more

[@christasixx2369]

Every time I see you guys in Arkansas I want to move there. I've been all over the country and its at the top of the list of beautiful places. Also love the freedom of your lifestyle. Thanks for sharing your videos 😊.

[@lindahopson5003]

OMG... Jonathan just today I realized that drinking coffee was making me sleepy, too instead of perking me up. Weird for sure. Great video as usual.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋dear how are you doing?

[@snowbirdlady8496]

Wow, what a ride! I admire your skills. Arkansas is looking better and better for a visit. Also, I just had dinner and your spinach and artichoke pizza made me hungry!

Someone who works with fungi is called a mycologist... I'm an amateur mushroom hunter looking forward to this year's treasure hunt 🤤🤤 loved watching your videos through the winter, now I'm itching to get back out to my favorite sites .... Soon hopefully.

[@annierose9168]

That trail was outrageous, could not possibly ride it but would love to hike it. You’ve open my eyes to the beauty of Arkansas! You should be funded by the state for tourism.

[@christineandpup]

Dang, that meal is a show stopper!

[@veeemit9719]

How did you come to be known as Dome Life? Jonathan has such a kind, calm demeanor. It’s always a pleasure to see him too.

[@CodyandKellie]

We created the name

[@pageroo9644]

They call it "Dome" cause their regular 10x10 tent is in the shape of a dome. And Life...well you know. :) It's like saying camping life, but more uniquely. :)

[@pammartin4527]

What a beautiful campgrounds ⛺️

[@normasutherland8476]

Love your choice of background music! Your views of campgrounds and scenery are great too! Really enjoy your videos. Would love to tent camp again but alas, we're too old for all the work of putting up and taking down. At 76, we settle for a 23 ft. travel trailer with stationary bed and shower. We still get great ideas from you!.

[@glodove]

Wow!! amazing bike ride had me on my toes there for awhile,nice water fall love hearing the sound of water,Kellie amazing 👏 pizza 🍕,glad you are doing good.

[@martinhernandez6506]

Good afternoon Kellie, Cody and Johnathan ! Great to see you all together again ! Awesome video, amazing trails and I'm starving from all the delicious food ! I'm a little older and I'm with Kellie I'd rather walk it. Not sure I can go through the trail without getting my training wheels on my mountain bike hung up. Keep up the wonderful work and keep smiling !

[@hazeleyes2086]

Good seeing Johnathan more, He is a great brother. I love a good shower to after a bike ride. enjoy the adventure guys

[@jessys9868]

Geeeze! I don’t think I could have walked the first part of that Mountain bike trail! Beautiful scenery as always

[@judyherman1249]

Love your videos, your kindness, views of flowers, waterfalls, etc. Feels like I'm there with you guys. Just a heads up regarding wild onions, they are really good, but know your limits because they can give you lots of gas.

[@georgejackson2129]

Awesome video Cody and Kellie as always enjoy watching them so much and the pizzas look amazing Kellie

[@staceyaustin6905]

[@listeninglovinit714]

Arkansas is beautiful!

[@TheRiseAndFallOfJazzy]

We lived a camping life as a child we did a lot of wild mushroom hunting and eating you will love it! Its yummy and fun project to do

[@lindahardy8713]

Start your mushroom adventure with mushroom soup… there is nothing better! Would love an update on the cookbook in your next video.

[@hallelujahhomestead]

I love that you’re getting into mushrooms and foraging! For those who don’t know, there are toxic look-alikes for wild onion. If it looks like onion but doesn’t smell like onion, don’t eat it. Wild onion will definitely smell like onion. Get you a good plant ID book. Peterson’s Guide is good and so is Merriwether’s Idiots Guide to Foraging. I also recommend learning to identify plantain, which you spanned over in a shot toward the end. It’s a super helpful edible and medicinal herb which is great for bug bites, stings, cuts, inflammation, and more. Would be super handy the next time Kelly gets bit. :) Blessings to you guys! Love your channel.

[@coleengoodell7523]

So glad to see you back to normal Kellie. Yeah, I was thinking as I watched the mountain bike part, no way! I was terrified just watching it. Beautiful scenery and would love to hike it. My mountain biking days are behind me any hay. Looks like the Pizza turned out perfect. Stay safe and God bless.

[@pageroo9644]

That mushroom laminated informational was awesome to see. For camping it's great to have handy! Those strawberry pancakes looked soooo scrumptious on camera!! 😋😋

I'm with Kelly when it comes to things that are a little bit beyond my physical capabilities. Better off sitting it out than ending up in an emergency room bleeding all over the floor right? Pizzas looked amazing as usual. I'm going to have to make another pizza again soon. It's been a while. Really enjoyed seeing you guys again and Jonathan always adds a touch of comedy and class. 👍😎😉😋💖❗

I grew up going to Lake Fort Smith and playing in Frog Bayou. I wanted to let y'all know that the Ozark Natural Science Center in Huntsville, AR is having a Mycology Weekend Workshop - weekend of immersion into collecting and identifying mushrooms and fungi June 17th - 19th. I thought Cody might be interested. I love following your adventures and enjoy seeing you guys have fun when Jonathan gets to join up with y'all.

[@barbaramena2377]

Happy to hear this about the mushrooms once you found them enjoy you can use for many dishes , I live in Illinois and this yr mushrooms or abundance s also everyone has been posting there finds the weather has been the right climate for the Morel's campsite is so clean but driving around those back rds i think where very scary to many insects. Plus just look unsafe for sure someone could hall off your home back there glad to see Johnathan ☺

[@nina_g6857]

Glad to see Kelly is doing well 🙏❤️ I loved tent camping did it for 10 years not full time. That place looks great for tent camping. Those laminates would have come in handy.

[@sandraharry8350]

Nice ride😁

[@michaelj4254]

You should checkout White Rock Mountain when you are on this side of the State. Devils Den has a really cool Bat program in the evening at Lake Devil. The ranger has a device that allows you to hear the bats echo location.

[@jrcriner6542]

I have the same problem as Jonathan about coffee making me sleepy. I can drink a cup of coffee and go straight to sleep but I can’t give up my pot a day

[@gwenwallace6175]

Yeah, I’d choose to hike instead of biking as well. I was stressing just watching y’all ride!!!

[@ruththompson951]

Nice drone work.

[@bugandmitz]

Beautiful park at Devils Den! We have never camped there but have spent day there. They had a good restaurant and the kids and grands swam at the in ground pool there. Would love to check out the trails one day! And those cabins!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@thiamata5346]

Hi from Colorado

[@samshepperrd]

Regarding Jonathan's caffeine crash. I sometimes get that too. But not usually. When I feel it coming on I just stop drinking the stuff for the day. Next day coffee may be ok. One thing I do is not drink coffee alone - with an empty stomach. I usually drink coffee with some kind of good old, sugar saturated, gluten packed carbs. I think it may slow absorption. There's an article on this if you search the web for "The Caffeine Crash: Why Does Coffee Make Me Sleepy?" Also don't over sweeten coffee and don't drink it after it's dropped to room temperature - especially if theres creamer because it will begin fermenting. I think medical may call that opposite effect "ironic" effect. It's often that stimulants will be prescribed to help someone relax or sleep.
