Truck Camping in a Serene Paradise

[@SaltSquatch]

Thanks for stopping by! Next time we will get you on a shark! 4:40

[@judivowell5748]

I lived in Pensacola from 1990-2008. Met my hubby there. He asked me to marry him on a bunker at Ft Pickens. It will always hold a place in my heart. We moved from there to Hot Springs Village on January 1st, 2009, where we lived till his death in 2017. (He was born and raised in Arkansas and introduced me to that beautiful state). I still have property there but spend most of the time in Arizona and the West Coast to see family. So y'all have safe travels and keep up the great videos.

[@billhenry1303]

I’m enjoying your trip in Florida! That jellyfish that you found on the beach is called a Portuguese man-of-war. Do not ever touch one or let it touch you, it’ll light you up like fire. And cause burning and welts. I know this because I spent most of my life in Florida, fishing, and surfing and hanging out at the beach. I love watching y’all shows! Keep up the great work! Safe travels.

[@deannazampa5286]

I was just popping on to let them know the same thing. Steer clear if they are blue-ish!

[@reneepowell8541]

Thankfully, in the water, the balloon-like top of the Portuguese man-o-war floats on top and is pretty visible.

[@nancyclark6979]

Even though they are floating on top, their tentacles are very long under water and sting like fire and the sting lasts and swells up. Very unpleasant. If you get stung, use ammonia to help take the sting away. I've lived in Florida my whole life and have delt with their stings.

[@faithrada]

@Nancy Clark Unpleasant is an understatement! LOL.. Even dead they can get you! Yup... stay clear.

[@Darciree]

Oh man, you're killing me with those beach shots and shells.... brings back suppressed memories when I was about 4 years old and hanging out on the Biloxi beaches. 54 years later, and I'm remembering that, love it, time to go back!!

[@kenloney9214]

[@kathydiggs2300]

You both seem so much more relaxed since you started living in the truck camper. :-)

[@kit3182]

Pensacola is beautiful! I went to elementary school in gulf breeze. It was such a great community! The truck camper makes all the difference! So incredibly happy for y’all! Safe travels back home! Merry Christmas!✨✨✨

[@JulesSmith4]

Welcome back to the Emerald Coast!!! A must stop is Joe Patti’s seafood market. It’s like tourist destination on it’s own. You must try the fresh hot sourdough bread baked daily! Enjoy your time here!

[@deladally1286]

You are taking me back where I used to go. Panama city beach, Pensecola and Destin! Thanks for those beautiful videos!

[@mollygreen8557]

I was stationed in Pensacola for 3 glorious years. I left in 2014. There's been a Pensacola shaped hole in my heart ever since. A home and community I'll never forget. I adore all your travels, but Florida ones I look forward to the most! Uptown, High Rent. - Molly

[@livableincome]

Wow. Not big on shark hunting, but otherwise this was Gorgeous! No wonder people retire there. Absolutely beautiful. And there you are with everything you need and don't have to leave the beach until you are ready. Perfect! I'm glad you got this extra special holiday.

[@ursinidaho]

Oh man, Im not jealous but something close to it😂 I am so happy to see that the water is so clear. You captured the water so well.

[@judyderieux8484]

The water is so clear and beautiful. Nothing like the sound of the ocean. Shark is really good eatin'. Those guys seemed really great. Happy Holidays to you both✨

[@stahpit1971]

My wife and I are really looking forward to joining the truck camper world

[@teresap.5991]

That water was so Crystal clear and beautiful. Hubby now enjoys watching your videos too. He cracks me up because he used to tease me when I first started watching you guys. He's not into camping at all never has. I always loved camping and your channel is at the top of my list. I wouldn't blame you if you stayed there all winter! 😅‼️💙🎄⛄💯🖐️💕

[@donniemabry1470]

I will tell you one thing Cody you need to wash under your truck that salt will rust your turck. Stay safe keep up the good work God bless.

[@leanneneuman2719]

Wow! That beautiful beach all to yourselves! That is nice. Cody, it's really cool that you are learning all types of fishing. You know, some people say that they don't watch your videos as much since you got the truck camper. That you have become just another glamping vlogger. Just want to let u know, y'all are the only traveling, camping(glamping), vlogging page I watch. Yes, it's different but it's all still good! Setting up all those camps with tents and breaking them down, could wear anybody out! Will we ever see that again? Probably. I will stay tuned to find out! Florida beach-life was great! Thanks for the tag-along! Safe travels till next time🌞✌

[@ScottChristerson]

I'm watching your blog and you got some great pictures we're from Myrtle Beach originally so we know what kind of life that is it's beautiful I miss it❤

[@reneepowell8541]

The sights and sounds in your videography really convey the chill beach vibe. Perfect!

[@78twood]

I love the water in the panhandle of Florida!! So clear 🥰 I bet y’all wish you could take the beach with you in your travels lol! So happy you got to go in your home on wheels too. I can’t describe how happy I am for you both 😎

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

Wow! What a beautiful spot and the sounds of the waves was so relaxing. Great video!

[@Roadtripmischief]

That beauty is a Portuguese Man-o-war. Very toxic! It isn't actually a jellyfish at all. I grew up in Galveston. Those things are no joke! And speaking of jelly, I am feeling jelly of you two at Fort Pickens ❤️ Love that place!!

[@koalabear6722]

Funny cause we pull and park where as a truck camper you have to pack up and secure, anytime you want to go somewhere. Different strokes for different folks. We love national and state parks with a camp base to come back to after exploring. No roadside parking for us just not safe anymore. 😊

[@ritasmoot1823]

Thank you so much for sharing the sounds of the water crashing in! You know I live vicariously through you guys, whether you are hiking, mountain biking, kayaking/kayak camping , or whatever you may be doing! I am up for it all! Thank you so much for taking me with you. I look forward to to each video you put out!

[@bradishee8666]

That place is a hidden gem. Usually not crowded- even in the summer.

[@TrimansWife]

We love our panhandle! Spent two weeks there in early November and going back for two weeks in September! So many deer!! The sand is so soft too. I got my cookbook today!! So excited to make a few things! Jelly fish still sting even when on shore!! Watch out!!

[@Exploring_Gia]

I absolutely love this video I actually feel like I just spent the day right there on the beach with y’all 😄

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you

[@tippy1261]

Hey cuties, I wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos and the time you take to make them great. You are so timely and sometimes a bonus in between. I only watch a handful of my subscriptions and never miss.. I wait patiently. You never fail and I love that. There can be gaps in the others and I totally understand. But big props to your dedication to your viewer's!!😄💛💚💙

[@lepoid]

You do such a great job with the cinematography! And excellent editing! Always a joy to watch!

[@sarahr9181]

I know you said he was dirty but Cody’s skin was glowing while he was shark fishing at night on the beach. I’m kinda jealous lol. Love you guys, long time subscribers (my husband and I) and we truly enjoy your content. Safe travels home and happy holidays!! ❤️

[@lrparrish227]

Hey yall. I really enjoyed this episode. Felt like I was there with you all. Be safe on your journey back home.

[@13kittykat]

Same. Great video

[@tippy1261]

I was in Hawaii this summer and I must say,..these beaches in Florida are absolutely gorgeous! I love that you pretty much have the place to yourselves! So awesome. 😊

[@billmccullough2323]

I especially enjoyed this vlog! I have been in the exact places you were making video of! Ft Pickens is a very beautiful place. It is so much less crowded than most would think for such a beautiful place. We have a week there planned for the last week of April and I can hardly wait. Great video and you are making great use of your new rig. You guys look happy there and I understand why! Merry Christmas to you. Enjoy your time at home for the holidays!!!!

[@donush9139]

Happy Holidays to You Both. Love this Video. Have a Safe Trip.

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

It’s why I live on the gulf coast you rarely ever see jellyfish, next time you come go to Crab Island right near there.

[@arc2226]

Thanks for doing our hometown justice! I may be prejudice since I was born and raised in Pensacola, but your video was fabulous and could be used by the tourist board. We live in town, but also have a house on the beach not very far from where you were. Hope to maybe see you sometime soon! Happy and safe travels.

[@CodyandKellie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AnxiousGary]

Winter is the ONLY time to visit in my opinion. Zero crowds, and the weather is actually bearable. Also I love that you guys saw a jellyfish on the shore and still went in haha you're braver than me! Glad to see you loving the truck camper!

[@garyb4929]

Wow, you'll did have beach, to yourselves, for most part. Made me & wife, we're only about 2 hrs away, want jump in truck & head that way. That was cool Bait Cruiser, great meals, as always. Safe travels, back to Arkansas.

[@koehl405]

Hi from Florida. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks and Be Safe.

[@chucksmith5002]

Don`t remember seeing that Step on the Bumper before you had a Plastic Step on the ground. Pensacola is a beautiful place enjoyed it

[@valerieann2751]

Pensacola Beach, Gulf Shores area is one of my absolute favorite places. I go as much as I can, which isn’t nearly enough anymore. It’s so beautiful and relaxing . I love spending my days at the beach just lounging and listening to the waves as well. It’s so goo for both my physical and mental health

[@TennesseeMatt]

Gulf Islands National Seashore is one of the coolest places I've ever been to. Any time we're in Destin, we always make a trip over there. Makes for a nice secluded beach day!

[@davidbrotsch7253]

There is a spring clean-up for Surfside Beach every year. You might check into that for future clean-up events....

[@Sailingvoodoochild]

Oh wow !!! I expected that to busy and more crowded this time of year. We’ll be leaving for the southeast on the 1st so that makes me more excited. Y’all are my favorite KZbinrs!!!

[@claramullen]

I love going over to that beach it is so beautiful. Safe travels and Happy Holidays to you and your family. Take care

[@teresap.5991]

Great love you guys really enjoyed it. Hope you do it again soon. Please wish Jonathan a merry Christmas for us all and Kelly happy birthday to you a week early 😊🖐️❤️‼️

[@djstravels4828]

Color me jealous! I love Pensacola so much. I’m so happy you guys have the truck camper. Even made me rethink camper for myself vs trailer. (I just need the extra space) But I love this new life for you guys!

[@greysfreak1992]

For the tv we got things to hook up our iPads and computer and phones definitely recommend it. Also we really enjoy having all our stuff with us and not having to pack all our stuff we already have it 😁😁😂😂😂

[@DazewithKaze]

Having the beach to yourselves is paradise. 🌾☀️. The sunset was also spectacular. Do u ever worry someone will break into the front of the truck while you are in the back ? One of my fears 😢

[@rayeccles9922]

Looking good guys!! Loving the new platform your in!!

[@patriciapeters5526]

Awesome video as always. Thanks so much for nature shots no talking no people no music just nature.

[@tentingaroundflorida]

Fall is the best time to visit. Water is colder but well worth it

[@janevalentine6391]

Have never been to Florida but have to tell you the footage you captured of your last day there was absolutely gorgeous. You guys do just an Excellent job making your videos fun and interesting...glad I came along on this trip...although I love them all.

[@rtshort]

Love your vids. You can get a small indoor antenna and pick up stations from about 30 miles away. Might have to change sides with it depending on the direction. Lots of good "side" channels on most of the networks now. I think I would rather a pull behind, or thought I would. You make a good point about parking. :)

[@Red_Beardd]

Love the content. Jealous of the lifestyle. My dream to do what yous are doing. Very jealous of all codys fishing lol. Good luck bud. I have maybe caught ten fish 15 yrs fishing lol. Happy Holidays. As always have fun be safe, drive safe. Much love from Michigan

[@jeanmayfield1636]

Merry Christmas kelly.and Kody. Love your videos 🌲☃️🙋‍♀️ Great job🌝

[@smokey6885]

Enjoy the sun while you can, morning forecast for AR is cold/wet possible snow up north for Xmas

[@331jlo]

Merry Christmas to you and yours Dome Life! Safe travels home to you! 🙌

[@mikestone5987]

Just wanted to stop in and say happy holidays and God bless I love watching you all videos keep it up

[@deborahjones5699]

Wish we were there!!!! You missed some storms today! The sound of the waves...so nice!

[@nikkigoldsmith3909]

Merry Christmas guys. Enjoy. 🌲🌲❤️

[@shelleymurphy1966]

So happy for you both! Lovin your lives and I can’t wait to join you in the full time nomad life in a few years after I retire!

[@marcellae3999]

Received my cookbook today, can’t wait to try some recipes

[@brentwentfishing]

Saltsquatch has a great channel too! Glad you got to do some fishing this trip Cody! 😁

[@MICHELEDART]

The water is gorgeous

[@cuz129]

Such clear water! Seems like the perfect time to be at the beach. I just spent a few days fishing the Louisiana marsh for redfish in my little bass boat. So much fun! And so tasty.

[@terryholt1832]

Love the fishing adventure and the sound/video of the beach is like a meditation loop. Wow

[@yolandabautista8115]

Thank you 🙏🏼 omg this was so beautiful 😍

[@donnamoore7554]

What a beautiful day on the beach, on the Gulf. Thank you. Safe travels. Enjoy Arkansas. I love it there. Haven’t been in a while though.

[@moore_2_explore]

I think the jelly fish is a Man O’War? Bait or dinner, it’s quite geographic dependent I suppose… your camping style has really become so nimble! Love it!

[@jul.escobar]

yup- I think the same. they wash up there

[@bnfishin6855]

Looks very peaceful!

[@lorimadden9672]

Great video!!! Have a very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 😊 ❤️ ☺️ 💕

[@Sailingvoodoochild]

We use a cord that has a USB C and an HDMI on my husbands Samsung phone and the TV to mirror the screen and watch TV in the camper. I have an iPhone and I haven’t found a cord that has iPhone charger and HDMI that works.

[@cindyholt3808]

Yes, safe trip home! Glad your getting time with fam in Arkansas, hopefully good weather, it was 61 and sunny today after a morning rain- I'm just over the line in Missouri- Happy holidays🌲

[@blanksender7808]

12-25 is the best day to be in the Pensacola / Ft. Pickens area. Almost deserted

[@IShallNotBeSilent]

That was my stomping grounds when I was a teenager, and got my Scuba diving certification there.

[@teamyaknasty1608]

Another excellent video! Great job.

[@kimberlywentz5645]

I love Pensacola! Such beautiful beaches, and the people there are great! Merry Christmas Kellie and Cody!!

[@kellygreen8255]

Omg! The sea shells!

[@bamagirl4234]

I love you guys! This was great!

[@brendahone2509]

Enjoy your family and safe travels.

[@walteragentplummer7031]

Hope your keeping eye on weather heading your area! In around florida

[@leslieborden5650]

That blue one I think is called man of war jellyfish . Had them in Florida and Hawaii

[@amywest9642]

Love watching your videos being able to go along on your adventures safe travel home Have a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@GypsyJvan]

i have eaten on the beach, many times..thanks for sharing..

[@John_Troch]

Lol! We are camping at Ft Pickens as I watch this! How cool is that?

[@JoyNichols65]

we call them blue bottles here in Australia.. and boy do they sting!

[@NickandJulie]

Oh my goodness that beach looks amazing 🤩 we were on siesta key today and it’s gorgeous but now I’m wondering if the panhandle beaches are actually better 😂 I guess we’ll see when we head that way in a few weeks. Safe travels back home! Merry Christmas!

[@curtisdoyle3598]

Enjoy

[@DrewKnightWV]

I really enjoy your videos… beautifully shot, nicely paced, and I almost always learn something new (e.g. RC boats for remote deployment of bait off the beach. And the Saltsquatch crew seem like really cool guys, too.). Thanks for doing what you do, and sharing it with us. All the best for a happy holiday season and a healthy, happy new year! Can I ask, what are your academic/professional backgrounds? You bring such an interesting perspective, literally and figuratively (like the low angle shot of the spider - most people would miss that, and it adds so much).

[@CodyandKellie]

Cody was an accountant and Kellie was a dental assistant

[@sharonsiegrist7183]

This was so beautiful! Thank you so much!

[@daphneyflowers6193]

Loving the Island vibe!!!❤

[@ISLAND_GYPSEA]

You guys are killing me now!!!! I live in st Pete (we have had this discussion before) but my husband and I so LOVE Pensacola! Blue Angels flying and the best food! Please go to JOE PATTIE’s (inland) to shop!!! OMG!!! THE BEST OF ALL THE BEST IN FLORIDA!!!! Fresh seafood and a food heaven❤️❤️❤️🏝️. Shop and cook! That’s what we do!!!

[@tentingaroundflorida]

Man o war jellyfish are no joke

[@deaconessfaithcommunitynur4745]

The shells look wonderful

[@lindahardy8713]

It’s hard to believe this is the same gulf coast water we see in Galveston. The first time my kids showed me pics I thought they were in the Atlantic side. I really didn’t believe it till I saw it myself.

[@snowbirdlady8496]

What a nice spot! It's amazing to me how different the beaches are from what I grew up with in southern California. Flying fish! Pretty shells. I'm not a fishing person, so why are they shark fishing at night? Are they more active then? Glad you had all that fishing fun Cody, and Kelley got the sunbathing time. Happy Holidays!

[@bertkelly7650]

Happy Holidays!

[@normalincoln8502]

Love your vlogs. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
