A Stress Free Weekend Camping

Join us for a relaxed camping in the Ouachita National Forest. On this trip we camp next to a waterfall and explore the creek finding quartz crystals. We also tell a ghost story around the campfire.
Kellie cooks Spinach Artichoke Penne Pasta, Blackberry Cheese Danish, and a Chorizo Avocado Breakfast Burritos.

[@ursinidaho]

That dinner looked amazing. I like how you clean off the.plates, empty the bowls, and stir the food all together. On the cooking shows they're always in a hurry.

[@3smoke]

You know cooking is getting serious when you bring fresh Parmesan a cheese grater, pepper mill and rock salt. That pasta looked so good !

[@CodyandKellie]

We don’t leave home without it

[@henrikm4657]

I swear, I have to stop watching your videos late at night. Every single time, I get hungry from watching Kellie cook up all that great looking food, and I just have to get out of bed and raid my fridge 😱

[@CodyandKellie]

Sorry 😂 Thanks for watching!

You come up with the coolest dishes and you make it look so easy!

[@thejudge61]

Kellie you are the most awesomest woman ever. Cody is one very lucky man. I wish you both the best of everything and I just enjoy watching your videos you guys are awesome

You cook better camping than we do at home!👏🏼👊🏼😋

[@michellemigliaccio]

Asked my husband why we don't have relaxing, stress free camping on our Ouachita trips? He reminded me we have 2 little boys and 2 dogs with us! Lol Love your videos! Great as always!

Little cooking tip, Salted water takes longer to come to the boil. Add your salt when you add your pasta.

[@CodyandKellie]

Ok! Thanks. I feel like I have read that before

[@Whiplash1937]

hey Cody check this out,rake the area where u guys will be sitting.throw that in the fire,put two tiki torches upwind with a citronella base fuel and lite them before setting up camp.hope this works on ur insect problem

[@CodyandKellie]

Y'all need to add a portable jump start battery from Costco. Less than 60 bucks has saved many a folk from being stranded. Recharges with a usb. You can also charge your smaller devices with it too. Great video and that pasta looks great!

Wife and I drove up and did some dispersed camping last week in Arkansas. We got home and saw you were down in Texas. There is some beautiful country up there. Cant wait to get up there permanently

[@CodyandKellie]

Arkansas is so beautiful. I hope you get up here again soon

[@o2bnov0307]

How wonderful to have found your channel. Beds in the tent. That would be nice. And, an oven attachment for the gas stove. Brilliant! I'm now a new subscriber.

[@jimburns1666]

That's funny Watauga Lake across the mountain from me is 1,959 feet above sea level .Arkansas is a beautiful state didn't realize how much until your videos. Reminds me of NC except the mountains are taller here. Except for that it looks the same looking out over them.

[@wellsonwheels457]

Spooky story ! 👻 charming spot

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you

[@mena580]

What a great way to relax & decompress by getting back with nature and yoga. Love how you captured the sounds of silence and the babbling creek. You guys make it look easy. I just went camping last weekend and it was a disaster for one we froze... LOL! Always look forward to your videos.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you. I’m sorry y’all were so cold. We bundle up at night. Thanks for watching

[@hammer1312]

That's why i have a camper van. It's insulated and i have a wave 3 heater that i have to put on lowest setting a d then it still gets a little to warm for me. My wife loves it. But too much heat can make you get sick or dehydrated. I love camping in cool to slightly cold weather. But then when it hits Dec. I head for Arizona to winter out there. But then again. Im a full time van dweller. It's my home and peace of mind. I LOVE IT.

[@mena580]

@@hammer1312 We had a heater which helped warm the ambient air. The problem was the cold air came up from the ground and into our air mattress. Next time going to put a sleeping bag on top of the air mattress instead of just a sheet. I had a tarp down but that didn't help. I also bought an electric blanket that I will run off of our generator. Going to try this set up in a few days. Yeah we are from AZ and NM gets very cold at night. Going to Nevada & Utah in a few days. My husband hates the cold too. LOL. A van sounds great!

[@orchidbabe1916]

Love your videos. I’m in central Louisiana. Very hurricane and quarantine weary...your videos are a great escape. Maybe one day we can head up there and hike. Expecting another hurricane Zeta to hit LA. Pray for our state.😞

[@CodyandKellie]

The hurricanes are out of control this year. 🙏🏼 we’re glad we can bring you happiness at this time

[@hammer1312]

Dang girl . NOW. I have got to get one of those ovens. Lol. Your a great chef. You should be working as a chef for a NICE restaurant.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you! It’s Colman and I believe we encouraged so many people to buy it from amazon that they sold out and are not even making them anymore. ☹️

[@candlesbyvictoria]

I have been enjoying your videos for a couple weeks now.. ya'll seem like such genuine and down to earth people and I have to tell you how much I love your state. I am a Texas girl but I go to Arkansas often and I love the Ouachita National Forest it is just so beautiful. I was there with a friend of mine about a month ago, we drove all through those mountains and ended up staying at the cutest little place that totally reminded us of summer resort in Dirty Dancing. :) I grew up camping and we camped with our kids when they were younger I love that ya'll throw your tent anywhere and enjoy God's creation! Thank you for sharing! I subbed and will be watching more of your vlogs.. keep up the great work!

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks for watching, subscribing, and the kind words. We’re happy you get to enjoy Arkansas when you can.

[@hammer1312]

Absolutely beautiful. TIP for fire starting. A d you prob already know. But i take cotton balls soak in alcohol putin zip lock bag then use one under your wood light it. And it burns slowly to be able to start fire . Works great. Not my own idea. Stoled it from another I tuber. Lol. But really works great. ✌.guys.

[@insaynbcr]

Leaving the car doors open for extended lengths of time will draw down your car battery as well. It's the interior lights that do it.

Love you guys and your adventuring, see you next time at Dogwood Hills! -Ang

That would be so fearful because I've been camping this area for years and you guys REALLY find some spectacular campsites that I can't find. And like i said i been camping these mountains for years. It would really help me and others .

For your insect problem they have small tiki torch size candles that you can use around your campsite and that should be able to fit in your truck. Cody I have a question? Your sandals you are wearing are those Chacos sandals.

[@mackjenkins7721]

@@CodyandKellie you are welcome man. The question I have on your Chaco sandals is do you have a problem with the toe loop with your. I pulled the straps as wide as I can pull them and I cannot get my big toe through the straps. I have a big very very wide feet sz15 6 EEEEEE with very fat wide toe and if I get my big toe through the straps lose when I walk the toe loop tightens very hard on the big toe. And the rest of my toes are having discomfort from the straps tightening on the toes. I know me having very fat wide toe don't help the situation. I was wondering do you have this problem with your sandals. This is what they recommended me for having a very wide foot.

With regard to the problem you had with the car battery, I though I'd pass on something that I personally use and take with me on every trip. You may find it handy too. I don't want to put a link to it, but it is called a Halo Bolt. It will charge my phones and cameras more times than I would need on a trip, and it can jump a car. Your millage may vary. :) I look forward to your videos. Look for me to support you on Patreon!
