Free Tent Camping | Exploring & Hiking in the Ouachita National Forest

[@itywhat6499]

Great vid. It brings back memories of my first hike/campout when I was 9 years old. We left Shawnee Okla. and drove to Talihina, OK, and then to the Ouachita National Forest to set up camp and do some hiking. That was 62 years ago. I still camp and hike all over, but mostly in Colorado now where I live. It's been a lifetime of camping and hiking. Keep up the vids and stay safe and outdoors.

Glad to see you got the video out. I've been camping in ONF for last 2 weekends. Weather was great. Ready to start hiking but waiting on it to cool down a little more. Please keep the vids coming. They are great!

Looks like a great weekend! I don't get to the Ouachitas near enough. We did enjoy a great time camping here in south Arkansas this weekend though. Thanks for sharing

[@kellyhays23]

Around Michael's Barn yeah the Ouachitas are so pretty! Been such great weather for camping! I’m glad you got to enjoy it :)

Cool collaboration, hopefully more team ups in the future with other content creators.

Hey Kelly! Great vlog! Leann and I had the pleasure to join Kellie, Cody, and Jonathan with Cody's parents for the September clean up. We were the ones from Huntsville, Alabama that cooked the steak while Kellie cooked the salmon. We cannot hold a candle to Kellie's cooking but it was a lot of fun!!! WONDERFUL people! Keep up the great work and wish you joy and success :)

[@kellyhays23]

Oh how cool!!! That was such a fun episode and loved watching y’all cook! That steak looked sooooo good! Thank you so much for the support!

A ton of great camping in the Ouachita's left to be explored...my girl's family has cabins in the ozarks we're gonna get to soon, bears been spotted all over so that should be fun haha...

[@kellyhays23]

Ahhh I still haven’t seen a bear! I want to!

[@MattG1982]

Kelly Hays Hikes i've seen one in Jessieville crossing the road on our way to walmart haha...not sure if i'd wanna see one in a camping situation

[@johnwakefield9378]

This area is only about 3 to 4 hrs from north Dallas so it’s a frequent place considered for cramping here in north Texas too.

[@ericwindelkin1110]

I'm allergic to poison ivy too but I seem to get it worse in winter weirdly. So don't let your guard down. Great video, btw!

[@kellyhays23]

ugh! yeah i got it last winter and it was terrible. Thank you!

[@BohemianAdventurers]

I need to check this place out too!! Your friend's beard is majestic as all hell!

[@sdsurfer8152]

My buddies and I still prefer roughing it for camping because we want as little as possible if hiking around

[@RatBonez74]

Any suggestions on a good 1 nighter, out and back? Did the ERL the weekend before last. Looking for something for this weekend, fairly close to Texarkana.

[@kellyhays23]

Ever done Butterfield at devils den?

[@RatBonez74]

@@kellyhays23 no ma'am. Probably a next year thing. Looking for something around mena/athens area. That's only about 1.4 hrs for me. DD is almost 5 hrs.

Looks like a beautiful area! But wow, you guys are really roughing it! (lol, that's not even camping. Y'all have a portable fridge too?) wth is a sea tick?

[@kellyhays23]

Haha it was awesome. And seed ticks are suppperrrr tiny ticks you can barely see

[@Laserred01]

@@kellyhays23 Ok just wondering b/c I got something on me last year at a water fall area in Hot Springs. It was really tiny and I've never seen one before. I thought maybe it was a chigger. Didn't really have any ticks or chiggers in N. CA so I don't really know what they look like.

[@USMC6976]

Where in Arkansas was this video taken? Spray your tent with Permethrin before you leave home. You will have fewer insects in your tent.

[@Floppyearsmomma]

I looked up Quachita River it's in Arkansas.

[@USMC6976]

@@Floppyearsmomma Yes, I know. If you look at my comment, my question was "Where in Arkansas ...." I live in Arkansas and would like to go see that location.

[@USMC6976]

@@Floppyearsmomma That is why my question asked "Where in Arkansas was this video taken?" I live about a mile from the Quachita River and it does not look like that anywhere around here.

Was this in Oklahoma or Arkansas?
