[@AdventureDeNorthVlogs]

Wow this is lovely big thumbs up my friend

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching!

[@jimbattista1120]

The older vlogs are great!!! The Octoberfest Stew. I turned to my wife and said. That's not in the cookbook. I was wrong it is in the cookbook. You call it German Stew in the cookbook. Kellie sure can cook!!! You guys make us smile!! Stay safe and that's for sharing a bit of your life with us.

[@Frank-tb4ck]

found my Coleman oven will heat up faster and evenly if I cover it with foil especially fs its windy

[@timpekarek9159]

You kids are such FUN!

[@jessys9868]

Another great camping recipe to try! MAN that looked good

[@georgecarpenter4126]

WOW - Many years ago, my mother took me on vacation to Magazine Mountain from our home in Louisiana. We were staying in the lodge in a room that then Governor Faubus always liked to stay in when he was there. During the stay, he showed up and they moved us to another room. After finding out that he had displaced a widow and her son, he made it a point to find us and apologize for inconveniencing us. Mom always talked about how nice he was. That was 65 years ago, but I still remember that vacation. Love your channel...keep up the good work !!!!!

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for sharing your story and watching!

[@13bellhop]

We were very impressed with it.

I'm your neighbor from the north and would like to say thanks for showing us the beauty of Arkansas. Been wanting to do a float trip on the buffalo. Now I want to explore the whole state.

[@Leftoutknitter]

I am always amazed at your car camping cooking. You bring it! Well done yet again.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you

[@vmcgriff]

Love Mt. Magazine! Been camping there many times. Kellie!! You are very talented with your camp cooking. And your recipes look awesome! I’m a spoiled camper… I’ve always camped in a camper with a full kitchen. 😂

Thank you!

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Glad you guys are back camping ! Nice camping weather is coming! Unless you’re like me in colorado Livin!! 😉

[@CodyandKellie]

Yes good weather coming soon. Jealous of the Colorado temps at night.

[@gtbritt1]

That transition at 22:57 was great. Might have to get one of those ovens - cinnamon rolls made me jealous!

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you! We had fun trying to get that down right. Been working on it for a while and this was the first time we got it right. The oven was well worth the $35

[@jenniferflatte5918]

Great meeting you guys and camping by you. The footage of Warren's hanggliding was beautiful.

[@CodyandKellie]

It was great meeting y'all as well! We wish we could have got more content of him. Would have been great to get him taking off! We will put it on our calendar for next July!

So, I live and teach school nearby. I worked summers and weekends at the Lodge for about 4 years. Justin is a great guy to work with. Maybe I saw you guys on one of your visits!

[@ursinidaho]

It's so wooded and beautiful there. Lots of history in those woods. I enjoyed watching you make the stew. Looked delicious! And Jonathan having watermelon for the first time was entertaining! Those hammocks look nice. I always thought they wouldn't work for me because my knees hyper extend, but I see you can lay crossways too. Always learning.

Haven't seen each other in 35 years, it was priceless! We will def try to meet up and take you guys to coffee next time we are up that way. Growing up in Hot Springs I forget how much I miss it when we get to visit, You and yours please be safe during the storms. Love your Chan! Take care, The Swaz's

When camping at Mt. Magazine, you should drive a little north toward Paris and check out Cove Lake. It’s a great place to camp, kayak and fish. They also have a bathhouse with showers. Camping is among the trees with many of the campsites on the water.

[@CodyandKellie]

We will have to camp there. Thanks for the info.

[@alicis11]

John Johns first watermelon!!! Now he needs to try it with a lil bit of salt...AAANNNNDDD Try it grilled!! Delicious! When I was lil my grandpa said don't eat the seeds or a watermelon will grow your belly! lol

Agreed on the salt, but we have not even tired it grilled. We need to do that!

Hi James!!! Hope its been nice over in Scotland! Thank you for watching! I actually flew it myself during this full vlog. It has a tracking option, but it is not very smooth. So I just fly it very slowly, or if we are in the H3, I will have Kellie drive, and I fly.

[@CodyandKellie]

The jackery power bank would work. They have smaller ones. You can charge it with the solar panels

[@bootmender]

First off I know the answer: but why is Mount magazine Considered in the Ozarks and not the Ouachita Mountains? It is south of the Arkansas River? And traditionally we think of the Ozarks north of the river and the Ouachita Mountains south of the river.

[@CodyandKellie]

It’s managed by the Ozark division because they didn’t have as much land to manage than the Ouachita. That’s what I understand anyways.

[@CodyandKellie]

Yield: Serves 4-6 Nutrition Info: 327 calories Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook time: 40 minutes Ingredients: • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 1 (14 ounce) package beef smoked sausage, cut into bite-size slices • 1 1/2 onion, sliced into thin semi-circles • 1/2 head small cabbage, halved again, cored and thinly sliced • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper • 1/4 teaspoon ground caraway seeds • Pinch salt • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped • 1 cup German-style lager beer (Oktoberfest variety) • 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed to bite-size pieces • 2 1/2 cups hot chicken stock • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar • 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped Preparation: -Place a medium-large pot over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil; -Once the oil is hot, add in the sliced beef smoked sausage, and allow the slices to caramelize and brown in the oil, for about 4-5 minutes; -When the sausage is browned, add in the sliced onions, stir, and allow the onions to caramelize with the sausage for another few minutes, until golden-brown and softened; -Once onions are caramelized, add in the sliced cabbage, stir to combine, and allow the cabbage to soften and take on the flavors of the sausage and onions for few minutes; -Once the cabbage is softened and golden, add in the black pepper, ground caraway seeds and the pinch of salt, and stir to combine; -Next, stir in the garlic, and once it becomes aromatic, add in the cup of lager, and stir the mixture to combine; allow the beer to slightly reduce for about 3 minutes or so; -Next, add in the cubed potatoes and the hot chicken stock, stir, and allow the mixture to come to the boil; once it comes to the boil, place a lid on (slightly askew to allow just a little steam to escape), and reduce the heat to low to gently simmer the stew for about 40 minutes; -After the 40 minutes, turn the heat off, and finish the stew by stirring in the apple cider vinegar and the chopped parsley (add more salt if necessary, too). -Serve in large bowls with some hearty, rye bread or rustic rolls with butter or cream cheese.
