Our First Days Living on the Road (The New American Dream)

[@pamelamikel7967]

Just think...no waking up, packing up & heading to the 9 to 5. Wow. What a dream.

[@royeubanks639]

Wife and I love how Cody is fascinated by even the smallest things. The pine cone being the latest, but also rocks, landscape, and surroundings. We love you guys.

[@7ty640]

I enjoyed him talking about the quartz coming from the Ozarks that created the white sand beaches of Emerald Coast. Something I never knew.

[@kimlittleton4943]

Ya'll look so happy. Those smiles are bigger than they usually are......smiles of FREEDOM !!!!

[@7ty640]

Also wanted to let you guys know that it was because of watching your videos and honest experience and presentation, that I bought both a Jackery 500, and 1000. I also bought the Joolca Nomad kit and shower tent. So, let your sponsors know. I had already bought two Rockpals 100w parallels with the 300w generator because of how much haze there is in Kentucky. Figured I needed two 100w folding panels to generate a minimum 60w. I bought the Jackery 1000 because of the high input of around 120w when there isn't haze. Have to catch the solar as fast as you can, as quick as you can. Bought the Jackery 500 to use with with older non-parallel Rockpals panels as for everything else. Jackery 1000 to make sure my 12v refrigerator/freezer has no power issues.

[@williambingham2459]

Rodent proofing is real important when dispersed camping. And bears coming to visit when away from folks. Pack away even your tooth paste! Love your new place to live your young lives.

[@zeusisgreat4896]

The spark you two have is really the deep draw to your channel. Don't lose it! Godspeed in your travels m

[@rogerkrull1444]

Guys. There is a noticeable change in your voices and attitude in your new life style. Congrats! Sooo jealous.

[@7ty640]

No knocks...just ideas. Love you guys!

[@markshaw7947]

Slow wayyyyy down and relax for sure. This is now your life and not a quick weekend out and back. Love the videos and the journey which has become the destination. Enjoy.

[@7ty640]

Live slow, but make money fast

[@frankvaldez7897]

Thanks for visiting our beloved area! We know it's beautiful, although it takes others to appreciate it and add the magic to video. Beautiful!! Thank you both!!

[@rosemiller646]

Glad you guys are finally getting a chance to relax & are feeling better. And what better place to relax than at that beautiful campsite. Like they say, nature heals! Take care.

[@robleebak]

@14:45 - 😳 wow! that’s Olympic level coordination, timing, and synchronization.

[@theresabassemier9901]

That is the life!🏕🪵🐿⛰I love watching you two getting to enjoy your travels more, not being rushed and the tips you give along the way is awesome.

[@SuperEnthused]

Watching you camp cook is so soothing I’m like aaahhh zen! Happy for you guys!

[@sandiroussell8354]

U two are so polite and relaxed so cool

[@patrickinthesmokys5165]

so jelly..thanks for taking us with you..excellent drone vids,,,cant wait for next location.

[@starlanight3334]

That’s a really nice spot you’re camping at. I like it.🌲🌲 The tea with the fire to relax looks great. And all the sounds of nature that y’all get to wake up to is tranquil. Lucky!!🦋🦋

[@ChrisSgaraglino]

You are correct on the Aspens! They are actually the largest living organism because of that fact. Another awesome fact, is the powder on the bark is a natural sunblock!

[@rosemiller646]

Yes, Cody; you are correct about the Aspen trees. I’ve heard that it’s especially amazing to see them in the fall, because, when they change colors, they do it all at the same time!

[@Live2dayWanderland]

We loved out west, can't wait to go back. Thanks for showing it to us through your eyes.

[@bob_wilcox]

We live northwest of Albuquerque and are familiar with camping and boondocking locations in the Santa Fe NF. Visit Paliza Family Campground north of Ponderosa. Great first come first serve campground with widely spaced campsites. No hookups. Ask the camp hosts where the good dry camping areas are just to the north if you prefer. Check out the nearby Goblin Colony rock formations and Pueblo ruins.

[@7ty640]

I'm here in Kentucky, but find New Mexico stunning! A different change. Kentucky is amazing too.

[@jessys9868]

Wow! Needless to say I LOVED the video! Thanks

[@wolfbisbing486]

I’m really diggin where this is goin. Thank you for bringing me along and definitely see ya on the other 😉

[@watcherdan7437]

Hi just wanted to say thanks. I love your channel. I am 70 yo married man(to a woman) sad I need to clarify that yuck. I have cv19. So laid up in isolation. Your vidz help me feel not so isolated. Love your cooking too!

[@dabradguy]

Pro tip on the Roux. The less you cook it (less brown), the greater its thickening potential. The more you cook it (more brown), the more flavor it will add. A principle I learned at the New Orleans School of cooking.

[@rickybreaux2607]

Another great video!! Looks so peaceful with the creek !

[@tinagilmore6373]

I love that scenery!!! Wonderful spot to live for a while for sure!!!

[@tbailey941]

It's good to see you rested and back at it. You could really tell you two were not feeling it in your last video. Excited to see more videos on your new journey!

[@TheRealChetManley]

That pasta looked really good. I like how y'all show the camp life and cooking.

[@xoPanchitaxo]

"Blowin & Goin' " I'm gonna need that on a tee ASAP haha

[@dawndietz4654]

That was great yall. Amazing scenery! Look at that beautiful sky out there. Hope you are enjoying those refreshing days outside away from this AR humidity, I am jealous🤣. Really proud of y’all ❤️

[@rlawry]

The new hood struts are great 😊

[@Whiplash1937]

Cody ur right,they are chipmunks 😂😂😂 fun to watch,but yep,they’ll move right in!!!

[@outlandr5594]

You 2 look damn happy being out and about like that. Congrats on the dream guys.

[@7ty640]

Love seeing you guys go full time! I'm jazzed!

[@TerryX2Explore]

You guys look much better since getting some rest! Congrats on the new life!! 🍷🍾🎈💗

[@darksideemt]

So happy for you guys and getting to live the awesome life you wanted to do. Stay safe out there.

[@silby77]

Such a beautiful spot! Looks like you are both feeling much better.

[@Whiplash1937]

fantastic as always,so glad u guys r on the road!!! awesome dinner miss Kelly,I would have added a glass of wine 😂🍷Cody my brother, u guys be safe and always be mindful of bears in the high country.thank y’all so much for taking ur fans along,love u guys👍

[@brianleonard6885]

I have found that sometimes just camping slow moving slow is so much easier.... now that full time you may be able to slow down some.

[@kenbaker4528]

You are right about the a grove of aspen trees sharing a common root system. Welcome to New Mexico, you’re in my neck of the woods.

[@dr.emiliolizardo3224]

I'm absolutely with you on those little rattles. They drive me nuts. Also, really enjoyed the 3 minutes of ASMR at the 26 minute mark. I think I dosed off a few times.

[@doubledforge]

12:32, that makes me nervous. It reminds me of a buddy who had to have a new wiring harness put on his new Dodge Cummins after a squirrel got inside his engine compartment and chewed his up.

[@kaycoward9943]

Love your recipes and cutting board. Have fun! We have a pop up camper- we are old but love to camp when not having health issues , lol.. Love your videos!

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Welcome to our neck of the woods. WE were just backpacking up in Pecos Wilderness last weekend. Love that area, real natural beauty. Great great hiking trails up there, you should have gone to check one out. Nothing like it.

[@pamelamikel7967]

Looks so beautiful there!!! That stream sounds Heavenly. So glad you Il u are unwinding & staying a couple days.. Yum on the pasta Kellie. Anxious for your book.

[@03garcie]

So awesome. Feel like we are just tagging along with you guys. This is better than most tv series I’ve seen. Safe travels.

[@alenedrummond4627]

WOWZIER just beautiful.

[@jessicagraves2903]

My husband is the same way with noises in the car while driving. 😆🤣😂 He also stops to adjust to silence the noise. Half the time I don't even hear it.

[@michaelgallup6176]

Yes, each aspen grove is a single organism. In fact, the largest living thing on earth (allegedly) is an aspen grove referred to as Pando found in UT's Fishlake NF. It covers 106 acres and is made up of approximately 47,000 trees! Maybe y'all will get to visit it on your journeys!

[@yagirlkb]

So much goodness in this video! The pasta, the breakfast burritos, the views, the squirmunk stories (lol) Always sad when the video ends! :)

[@tammietrivento1076]

Sooo pretty. You two make it so pleasant .

[@Judyjetsun13]

I’m sure I’m not the first to say the both of you look so happy and content💖 love your videos. Thank you for sharing in know how much extra work it is to live it and document it all for us to enjoy. Truly generous 🥰🙏🏽his bless and keep this happy and health the rest of your journey💃🏽🕺🏻🥂 Ps love the ants and prairie dogs 👏🏽

[@momboss7764]

If you are still in the Rockies in September, you can see the aspens and their gorgeous fall foliage

[@sportstyler50]

Great first spot guys!

[@debbiemcneese5302]

Love the beautiful views😍

[@bonnieruggieri7340]

Great video guys. Love the videography so pretty. Have to order a cutting board.

[@lrparrish227]

You are precious and love the video!

[@MultiYoda69]

you need to sometimes adjust boiling time for high altitude cooking as water boils at lower temps at higher elevations.

[@7ty640]

Kentucky has "Hollers" so deep you have to pump in sunshine.

[@jrcriner6542]

I’ll never forget when you lost the drone and cross country trekked to find it. I told you it would have been cool to fly it to camp and walk in telling her you couldn’t find it lol

[@divergirl8296]

Since you're going to be full time now you might want to look into getting a garmin inreach. That way when you have no cell service you can still message your loved ones to let them know you're OK, or to have them call call a tow for you if you get stranded. It also has an SOS button, so if you get into serious trouble you can just hit that button and it sends your GPS location to emergency services. I'm not full time but as a female who camp's alone I always have mine with me.

[@CHASNTRUCKS]

Here’s something to add to your cook book I really enjoy. Honey bacon butter toast! Honey and bacon grease in the same mason jar. Hot butter in the container mixed together and spread onto the bread or toast. Very good 👍🏻enjoy yall

[@CodyandKellie]

🤤

[@CHASNTRUCKS]

@@CodyandKellie Eggs! 2 eggs stirred scrambled in my cast iron skillet then I used some McDonald’s salt and some Celtic salt let them cook for a bit on low then I added bbq sauce and they were good! 👍🏻

[@jrcriner6542]

Just now watching. Been outside Mountain View for a week exploring without phone service. Can’t wait for the cook book looks like a cool place to camp. Too bad someone damaged the trees in the camp. Lots of that happening

[@stevenannett1739]

This is a beautiful campsite, missed where it is ,,

[@CodyandKellie]

Santa Fe national forest

[@jrcriner6542]

Pretty flowers

[@kitkatintxs]

I love santa fe area. My late husband and my boys went backpacking up near taos. It's beautiful there.

[@rgold02]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Goldie in Jacksonville, Florida

[@reelfishin6019]

I Love Yall!

[@sharonc.cooper9367]

It helps to put solar lights underneath your vehicle to help deter them also.

[@nadrosa]

20:29 best mechanic ever?! 🤣

[@colleenwilkin5705]

seems like you have no bugs around you!

[@jacc9311]

Chipmunks can cause all kinds of issues....best to keep them out of your vehicle, camper and tent...safe travels!

[@FMTFXE22]

Oh awesome. When and where will it be on sale, by Christmas?

[@edwardcorino8327]

What beautiful sights

[@ranpat86]

Looks like a golden mantled ground squirrel 🐿

[@tailgate_troubadour]

Great video, looking forward to following the journey :)

[@watcherdan7437]

Yummy I love olives

[@aaronwolfe87]

Can’t wait for starlink to be done!

[@bootmender]

Don’t wast your money, only works in perfect situations.

[@CodyandKellie]

We just looked it up. Very interesting

[@paulhynes7144]

Beautiful country. Have you guys ever thought about coming to Michigan? Especially the Upper Peninsula.

[@jonrinobpy5249]

Yes ,bambo is really hard

[@jrcriner6542]

I’m looking at you making that sauce and thinking man I would love some milk gravy and biscuits lol

[@charlesreyna1788]

You guys camped where there's fresh bear markings on the trees. Glad you made it out safe.

[@rev2kev]

Santa Fe is my favorite forest.

[@felixtorres1895]

You should go 4wheeling more often.It’s the thing to do in the southwest.

[@7ty640]

Two wheels are better than four. Can go where four doesn't, and lighter to haul.

[@salemk.3098]

great video, the food looks delicious! can you provide the coordinates of your campsites in the videos’ description? i’d appreciate it

[@kristymoore7052]

That pasta looked great and simple enough for camping. Thanks! I imagine that your could add chicken or bacon or both, that’s just me. :]

[@kimprocarione5473]

What a wonderful spot to relax! And are they ground squirrels?

[@larrytucker222]

Getting hungry watching.

[@dinabutler5797]

Beautiful!

[@jannapeters8506]

That looks so good. Did you coat the bread with anything?

[@lynjameson1368]

Why would you ever want to leave that spot? So beautiful.

[@kareneudaley2635]

Prairie dogs? Without seeing hard to tell. I miss home. Thanks for sharing.

[@ranpat86]

I just finished watching your new video from Santa Fe National Forest Dispersed Camping and what an amazing location with the running creek and the mountains. The food looked amazing as well! Looking forward to next weeks premiere from your new location. Take care and be safe from Missouri!!!

[@Revelacion320]

Jonathan remembers that meatyor chicken 🤣 had me laughing over here Awesome video💪 great to see you guys are resting.

[@stevenannett1739]

love your videos guys! Still want to know what you think about the Coleman oven, B4 I waste money on one ,,,

[@CodyandKellie]

We love the oven. It takes some extra care but couldn’t live without it

[@gilstewart4069]

I remember that burnt chicken, it was hilarious ...Im in AlbuquerqueI would of loved to have dinner with you guys, congrats on your adventure, and please be mindful of leaving your stuff unattendand use game cameras for peace of mind when your away exploring. Peace out

[@7ty640]

New Mexico cuisine is tops! Better than Tex-Mex!

[@zeesoutdoors65]

That girl can cook cannot wait for cook book.5 star dining lol.

[@bromanandthesquaw880]

Thanks for sharing sharing ~ really beautiful camp. Outstanding meals and I love how you capture Kelli cooking (really great coverage). Hope to meet y’all one day ~ that would be amazing. Can’t wait for the upcoming cookbook 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
