Wild Camping and Cooking In the National Forest

We are back in Arkansas for the New Year camping in the wild mountains and forest of the Ouachita's. Kellie cooks blueberry biscuits, Cody goes fishing, and finish out the night cooking steaks on a cast iron skillet.

Kelli knocks it out of the park again with her cooking skills.

[@dracphelan]

It is a little expensive, but I recommend the Gazelle gazebo. It is ready to set up, screened, and you get sides to screen out the wind.

[@happycamper3977]

I never thought about shredding the butter like that . Genius idea I will use that idea thank you .

[@malzimus]

Yes! It makes so much sense! I often "cut in" recipes because I don't want to do the mixing by hand or in chunks, etc.

[@peachykeen6185]

These videos just genuinely make me feel better. All the stress, worries, problems everything I just forget about it when watching y’all’s videos and I can’t even begin to describe how much I need a distraction at times!! Thank y’all so much!!!

[@micheleelliott4726]

Beautiful drone footage, Did you know when coyotes howl like that it's because they are trying to find each other. During the day they split up and find seperate sleeping spaces then near sunset they howl to find each other. When you hear excessive yipping they found each other and are greeting each other. Kinda cool.

[@yolandabautista8115]

Love you two beautiful souls.... COOK BOOK, COOK BOOK... Waiting 😋

[@herrp8765]

Glad to see you guys have recovered from the loss. Keep rockin' it. Doing great!

[@WanderingCarl]

I like my Gazelle gazebo. If you peg around the base, as well as peg each pop-out wall, it will protect and hold-up to a good amount of rain and wind. There are some drawbacks, but it is easy to put-up and takedown.

[@conniehamilton1781]

I love watching Kelly’s Gourmet Forest Kitchen. I am going back and binge watching! Also so sweet to see such love and respect you have for each other, you make a good team! One thing I’d like to recommend, Kelly, is to get a rubber or silicone spatula to clean out your bowls and pans. I cringe when I see how much food gets left behind. You’d be surprised at how much water and elbow grease can be saved during cleanup by just by scraping them out! I really want your cookbook 😉

[@stevenbutler5142]

I have to wait and watch with my wife, we enjoy the show together.

[@kimlittleton4943]

Tarping is an art !!!

[@spellbound021]

I have the same canopy as your old one and love it. However, that top corner pin you are missing on the new canopy- one of mine got locked in and won’t pop out. We decided we are going to try drilling a hole and sticking a hitch pin through it to keep it up. Fingers crossed it works!

[@jgpainting8815]

Check out this tarp ….. Slumberjack SJK Roadhouse Tarp, Hunting Camping & Overland Shelter Protects from Rain & Sun From Amazon. It works great! And I bought 2 Green Elephant telescoping poles to arrange it in different configurations Had the same issue with that pop up canopy.

[@christinadilly1240]

I had this happen on a camping trip. Found a sturdy stick that fit in the hole. Worked well in a pinch!

[@teresacrounse5414]

Sweet and Savory breakfast 😋 yum! Great job Kelly!

[@sheila5707]

I can barely do a sit up, and Kellie does them with 25lb weights! 12:30

[@sean2148]

God that breakfast looked incredible. My fiancé and I are about to start tent camping and I’m watching every video I can to make sure we start out somewhat informed. Y’all’s videos are very informative and super inspiring. Keep ‘em coming. Wishing safe and happy travels to y’all.

[@keylimedp]

every time we see Cody eating he is definitely enjoying angel princess good down-home cooking !!! love it! Hey you got a good women there ! Ps. Is it really awesome y’all pray before meals 🤙

[@neeko4676]

I still love my Gazelle G6 Popup Gazebo. It can handle really strong winds and you can get walls for it.

[@teresasmith2038]

Happy New Year Kellie and Cody. Breakfast and Dinner looked so good.

[@richardmilner4392]

Drill holes in the poles and put pins in it

[@danielc.2042]

The old jitterbugs still catch fish.

[@ERIEREDHEAD1]

When is Kelly's Cookbook coming out on Barnes & Noble? I can't wait to buy it! I love watching her cook! I have purchased a Coleman stove, Coleman Camp Oven and various pans and items to start Camp Cooking after watching Kelly's Camp Cooking Lessons.

[@robertdepaulis5188]

One sensational breakfast 😋 👌

[@stevenmiller2931]

Drill a small hole in each of the poles and put a pin in it. You can buy a spring pins. at Tractor Supply. Then use some thin cordage to tie the spring pins. That would be a good and easy fix. Now you will have tension back in the corners of your canopy.

[@willieoakley2336]

I really enjoy all of the current video.

[@slideoff1]

When I met my wife, she ate burnt steak with mustard! Now, medium, with SPG( salt pepper garlic) and that's it! MM GOOD!

[@deaconessfaithcommunitynur4745]

Like the tarp canopy and great fishing

[@beargreasebrigade]

again, hungry as all get out - glad to see ya'll on the other side - happy new year

[@Wide_Eyed_Wanderer]

Forced out of my home of 3 years. I’m wishing I had a camper. They don’t want to accept partial payments so I’m taking what money I can & having to make investments for camping so I can save some money for awhile. You guys make it look easy. I know I got a lot of learning & long road ahead. I can’t even say how many thousands I’ve put into this place the last 3 years for the old owner to just sell it to some greedy investment person. Now he & the property manager get greedier by the day & I can’t do it anymore. Between that & leaving a toxic relationship, I’m on stress overload.

[@andrizzlenuts]

Cooking is one of my biggest camping struggles so watching how y’all do it is extra helpful. Thanks for sharing

[@annajihae9033]

can you please make a cookbook? Your meals always look so delicious :)

[@dfwoverland]

Hi guys. Happy you are back at it. We needed our spirits lifted today and you were an answer to prayer. Thank you both.

[@sandys4821]

Both breakfast and dinner looked so good!

[@garysmith2821]

Happy New Year guys!

[@hazeleyes2086]

I lov when Kelly cooks, she has soul. You go girl

[@ranger5309]

I think you came up with a perfect name for her new channel ! If she choose’s to make one ! 👍🏻

[@rogerkrull1444]

Steak dinner at the campsite...who would thought???'😄

[@boonedog1457]

If you ever get tired of camping, you could open a restaurant. I would eat there!!! Plus, you could just open a biscuit bakery shop. Those blueberry biscuits looked amazing!! Yum!! 😋 Me wants some!!! LOL (My Smeagle voice)

[@bradshutler9356]

yummy, yummy, happy, happy! hears to a happy new year for us all

[@nosfueled]

Wish you the best in the New Year!

[@paulacartwrightjohnson8479]

Happy New Year!

[@FastRackOverland]

Glad to see you guys came back home. 😀 great video!!!

[@kathybullmer8884]

Happy New Year ⛺❤⛺

[@ftt9377]

Happy New Year Y'all

[@billmccabe6188]

that food looked so good.

[@ronniebarker3501]

Happy New Year to you guys from a fellow Arkansas Ouachita Mountain camper. Love our beautiful state.

[@kit3182]

Those blueberry biscuits looked Amazing!!! Steak dinner was pretty fine itself! Happy New year! May this be your best year yet! Happy trails✨✨✨

[@FrankGreenway]

I’ve got a coffee cup that looks just like yours. I really like it and use it daily. In fact I’m drinking some now. Keep making interesting videos and stay free and enjoy life.

[@nzhillbilly6468]

Happy New Year, That meal looked so delicious, made me drool lol, yum.

[@kolenefultz3744]

Your food looks amazing!😋

[@belindaknowles7440]

Happy New Year! I look forward to traveling through your camera lens. Thanks for sharing!

[@charleskessler1905]

Grab 4 small quick clamps for a couple bucks each at a hardware store, or on Amazon for the pop up canopy. That'll stop them from sliding down. Easy, fast, and cheap. Plus the clamps can be used for million things at camp. BTW yall have a awesome set up :)

[@markone5242]

Great job, video’s are great.

[@kendrasmith6637]

Your food looks so good. Y’all have fun 😀

[@michaelstevens655]

Good video guys

[@discoveringlockenest8420]

Happy New Year! 🎆🎈🎊 🤙

[@coleengoodell7523]

Happy New Year! Looks like some yummy meals.

[@lisablan-hoye5624]

Happy New Year! Enjoyed this very much, thank you. :)

[@moore_2_explore]

That steak dinner looks amazing!! 2022 is gonna be a great year😉

[@happycamper3977]

Happy New Year, love your coffee mugs

[@dbanks1277]

Try a C clamp/clip with rubber (foot) to hold that corner.

[@ranger5309]

Happy happy New Year !! Lots of good luck and happiness !! The breakfast looks so amazing !! Wish I could be there with y’all , but I’m busy getting camping ideas !!

[@roselsimpson858]

We just left Lake Degray a few weeks ago we see why you all love Arkansas so much. Happy New Year

[@monicahileman1644]

Happy New Year 😀🎉🥂. Love your videos. Stay safe.

[@AngiesJonesPoetry]

The meal looks amazing

[@stevenmatsoukas7905]

There you go again, making me salivate watching you cook something delicous.

[@angieyarborough6675]

Great video as usual. Those steaks though! Yum.

[@waymanbell]

Happy New Year! I agree with the post that said drill a hole and insert a small pin where the locking pin used to be on your canopy.

[@jessys9868]

So good to see you guys back! We had weather in the 70s last week as well. Then two days later it dumped 6 inches of snow and did not climb out of the 20s for two days. My kind of camping weather! Great video

[@arkcountrypreacher]

That’s my favorite way to eat sweet potatoes. Looked delicious.

[@rustyshakleford7277]

You guys do know how to cook up a nice camp meal, never fails to make me hungry🔥👍

[@katzcrow640]

Happy New Year ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦 Great Video so yum...

[@cheryletolar5108]

The jitterbug lure is my favorite!!!

[@borandell9915]

Breakfast looks awesome. I had the same problem with the Ozark Trail canopy. I scrapped it too.

[@debmann5168]

Really awesome video. One of my favs. 2022 is going to be great for you both. I feel it too :) Happy travels and livin'

[@clairegordon8475]

Gah I haven’t had breakfast yet! This is torture to watch! Lol

[@malzimus]

Perhaps you could get a cotter pin type thing to put in/through the pole?

[@mybasecampisuptownhighrent]

Wow, I love the close ups of Kellie cooking. Just love it. You know what I love,? Kellies hands and nails are always spotless. Her pots and pans and cooking surface always spotless. Love you guys and so looking forward to my own journey and continuing to watch yours. I have learnt so much from you . We have started watching all of your videos from day one. Wow love it. Happy New Years guys.

[@shoedog8483]

Love you guys!!! Also love that tasty blues jam before the tasty steak!!!!!! I could watch Kelly cook and listen to that music all day LOL !

[@lindahardy8713]

Almost at 50k!!!

[@sandywilliams8034]

Dang that meal looked delicious.

[@rcwells200269]

I love you guys content, HOWEVER…I’m always disappointed when we don’t get to eat dinner with you. You go through this big build up to an awesome looking meal, and then cut away. The meal is sharing time, dinner conversation, ruminations, and if your videos were 5 minutes longer so we could enjoy the meal with you it would be great!

[@dinabutler5797]

Happy New Year! Hope the tarps worked out.😊

[@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD]

Great Breakfast. Drill a hole in the canopy stand & put your own pin in it. Happy New Year 👍✌️😎🚐

[@terrimalek]

Happy New Year! We stayed in Little Rock last night and drove through Texarkana today, so we thought of you two. Love your channel. Been full time RV living for close to 2.5 years. Moving to Overlanding now. Thanks for always inspiring👍🏼

[@Live2dayWanderland]

Those biscuits in the bacon grease, yes Cody I had the same look and I didn't get to taste them!!! look sooo good

[@ricardoguerra9411]

I used to Bass Fish using the jitterbug and the hula popper... seeing your lures brought back some good memories. Best of luck for the new year.

[@chucksmith5002]

Enjoy yourself and I enjoyed it Coyote`s sounded good

[@garyb4929]

Coyotes can be entertaining,lol. When we still lived on family ranch, we had a pack chase 1 of our semi tame barncats right up on front porch, one night. Was sure glad too not see Kelly put brn sugar on those sweet taters. Lip smacking meal right there. Thanks for sharing the evening.

[@ldrake3155]

Well I though the same thing. Just drill a hole where the missing “pin” spot should be and put a wooden or medal chopstick in its place. And it should hold,

[@tamelataylor7384]

Happy New Year! Kellie, one way I like my sweet potatoes is with garlic powder. So good!

[@punjabseth260]

nice

[@bondy0075]

Happy New Year to you both from an 🇭🇲 in 🇮🇹 Ciao Wendy 😘❤️ Awesome vlogs Stay safe and well everyone.👍✌️

[@adventureisuncertainty1061]

We have the Gazelle Gazebo and love it. You can get panels for it and it is easy to set up. BTW those biscuits looked amazing!!! I always get hungry watching your videos! Lol

[@tammiemeadows5278]

Ok I, and probably a few others, would love the in on exactly how ya made those biscuits. 😋 Glad those coyotes didn’t invite themselves to dinner. I like to hear them in my woods but once they ventured in my backyard too close to my house. I didn’t know I could move so fast.-One loud bang on the window and off they went. Happy New Year. 🎊🎆

[@tinagilmore6373]

Happy New Year! Great blueberry biscuits OMG. I wish I could’ve been there to taste em!

[@erm4292]

I can smell the blueberries coming through my speakers

[@BrookGarretson]

I have 5 big blue tarps. I take them and build ceiling and walls when I am camping. I bring a spool of lightweight line and cut as needed.

[@mischiefroadtripadventures]

I am drooling over that breakfast!! For the canopy, just get tension clamps for those corner poles at the top. It will hold. Or reusable large zip ties might work and maybe connect to the cross bar. That has to be frustrating. But every day is a new adventure and another challenge!😉❤️

[@erm4292]

great video composition with the holly berries in foreground overall 20 thumbs up but then I would have to take my socks off too

[@dickinaroundoutdoors8609]

I just subbed but have enjoyed your videos for a while now-thanks for sharing all the great places and knowledge!

[@silby77]

Bacon grease for the biscuits to cook in!?! You are a super hero Kellie!! So happy I have the "older" model of the Ozark Trail canopy...it withheld 50 mph winds this past summer! (We were camped out during a tornado warning!) Cody...my husband has an ugly stick fishing rod and he LOVES it! Hearing coyotes is one of my favorite things about camping. Happy New Year guys!!

[@aventurasconarias9213]

Y gracias por esa receta de la pizza 🍕 que rica sale Ya lo cosine Yo y sale buena 👍 👌👌👌
