Hammock Camping Caney Creek Trail, Arkansas

I find a fun spot to hang the Blackbird hammock (next to a small creek) and make chicken-cilantro tacos! The East Caney Creek Trail is located near Mena, Arkansas.

Thanks for watching and commenting! I don't get many comments on my camping videos these days. 🙂

[@FrugalCampingMalaysia]

That drone footage takes your video to another level,great job!

[@KenClick]

Thank you... :)

[@banjowoodsman7675]

What a day to spend in the creators handy work. What a gift he has given us. Thank you for sharing.

[@KenClick]

Yes in deed. His glory is clearly seen in the beauty of nature.

[@ricksmith1207]

Thx for replying back, it's truly appreciated. I thought ultralight was too expensive also until I convinced myself to keep learning. Don't let perception block your desire to improve. Thanks again and keep taking us along.

[@KenClick]

Which items would you recommend I replace and with what? Perhaps I can start with your help. :)

[@donaldburton6869]

I love watching your videos! As usual this was another good one. Thanks for doing this for all of us to enjoy.

[@KenClick]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy camping. :)

[@mikecorry9327]

BEAUTIFUL!!! As usual, great video, brother.

[@KenClick]

Thank you Mike. Happy camping brother!

[@greggjudd8215]

Great video. Loved the drone footage opening

[@KenClick]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy camping! :)

[@ricksmith1207]

Thanks Kenneth, it just looked big and heavy to me and you're spot on when you say most weight comes from comfort items and there's nothing in the world wrong with that. It's all about being happy. God bless you.

[@KenClick]

Hey, I appreciate your comments and thank you for your suggestions. I'm always looking for better/easier ways to do things. Keep the suggestions coming. :)

[@PawPawMountain]

Thanks for taking us along, Peaceful place you camped there Kenneth! Look forward to the next trip!!

[@KenClick]

Thank you and thanks for taking the time to comment! :)

[@GadgetsAdventures]

Another awesome video and I see you are enjoying your new toy. Thanks again for sharing your trip with us !

[@KenClick]

Yes... the new toy is fun. I wanted to do more, but the trees were too thick to fly it on the trail. :)

[@TallapoosaOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks for taking us along on another nice little trip. (I just can't decide what's more relaxing......the scenery or the narration) 👍👍 Glad you "talked" me into getting the Emberlit stove....I have used it often. Stay Safe.

[@KenClick]

I'm glad you like the Emberlit. I appreciate the feed back. Take care and happy camping! :)

[@TallapoosaOutdoorAdventures]

Kenneth Click Be sure to stop by my channel and check out some of the videos if you get a chance. Would love for you to subscribe and come along on some of our adventures!

[@1Selous]

wow some great footidge looks like fun with the drone as well lll

[@KenClick]

It was a nice trip. It's always good to get away. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

[@ricksmith1207]

I'm no expert but I learned to start with the big three, shelter, sleep system, & pack. I use a 13 oz pack ($65), a sun wall that is used on 10x10 canopies as my water proof tarp ($15 & weighs 1.1 lbs), & finally my 2 lb hammock and 1 1/2 lb 40 degree down sleeping bag ($120 for both). You have two of the three so pour a cup of coffee and find you a pack less than 2 lbs & a down bag that stuffs down to not much bigger than your coffee pot. That's the fun part.

[@KenClick]

Thanks. It sounds like you have a great set-up. My pack weights 43 oz, it's a ULA Circuit, so it's not too bad. I could get a smaller/lighter tarp, my Kelty Noah 12 is 2 pounds. My underquilt and topquilt are both down and very light. Most of my weight comes from the extra "comfort" Items I carry.

[@RubOneOutRosie]

the definition of that camera is the best ive seen on youtube.

[@KenClick]

It does a great job. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

[@jimsteele7108]

You have lots of good ideas...

[@KenClick]

Thank you! 🙂

[@truth4004]

Gorgeous... AND you have a drone. :D

[@KenClick]

Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙂👍

[@anthonyjohnston2178]

love that trail. especially katie falls. Looked like a fun trip.

[@KenClick]

It was a fun trip. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@NoTrail]

I don't remember seeing Katy Falls

[@anthonyjohnston2178]

He didn't but it's right off the caney creek trail

[@NoTrail]

Yassir

[@timhikes8624]

Nice campsite !

[@KenClick]

It was a great spot. I had a wonderful time.

[@IrishZombieNation]

I use that chicken in a bag all the time for camp meals like chicken salad wraps. I can only find it at Walmart though for some reason. On a side note, is that a Dream Hammock you have? I'm guessing the Darien by the looks of it. Great video my friend.

[@KenClick]

You are correct about the chicken being from Walmart, but the hammock is a Warbonnet Blackbird. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy camping.

[@colinwaldrop3615]

Clickster great vid. quick question does your stove work well in colder temps? It sure seems easier than the emberlit

[@KenClick]

The Snow Peak works great. It is easier than the Emberlit, but it is not as much fun as building a wood fire. Happy camping.

[@PaleoHikerMD]

What time of year did you go? Looking at a trip this summer

[@KenClick]

It was the first of May or the last days of April... don't remember exactly. Thanks for watching... :)

[@basscaster2023]

Thanks for sharing the locations. What brand of pack do you have on your back ?

[@KenClick]

My pack is a ULA Circuit. Here is a good review on it: sectionhiker.com/ula-circuit-backpack-review/ Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ricksmith1207]

Hey Kenneth, great videos but I have a question. Ever consider ultralight backpacking? Some of us can't pack a 40 lb pack. Thx

[@KenClick]

I'd love to go ultralight but don't have the budget. I try to buy good gear once and use what I have. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@j.blase556]

I loved this video! We recently attempted Eagle Rock Loop, it was a bit much for us. We spent more time trying to get through it, instead of enjoying the beautiful views, so decided to gear down a bit. Can you tell me what part of Caney this is and where do you suggest parking? We would love to hike this. Thank you for a great video.

[@KenClick]

Look up the “East Caney Creek Trail” in the All Trails App. It will give you information and directions to the trail. There is parking at the trail head. Enjoy!

[@j.blase556]

@@KenClick awesome! I was hoping it was East Caney.Thank you again!

[@PumpkinVillage]

Another fine video. What brand hammock is that? Thanks for taking us along. Take care, Al&Sue

[@textilewolf]

What Pumpkin Village Maple said!

[@KenClick]

Thanks for watching and commenting! The hammock is a Warbonnet Blackbird. Happy camping...

[@PumpkinVillage]

That's what I thought. Looking at a Warbonnet XLC right now. Seem like really good products. Thanks for responding and take care, Al

[@kurttaylor5023]

I would be in the hospital for a month if I camped in that spot. Poison ivy everywhere.

[@NoTrail]

That's a sweet location KenBob. Was this on the same trip as last time? I use the truckers hitch on everything as well. Nice areal preview.

[@KenClick]

It was a week later. I got out between the storms that have been flooding our area the past week.

[@NoTrail]

That's a good drive 2 weeks in a row

[@scottjenkins4613]

I saw you build you hammok right on some poison ivy. Hope you are not sensitive to it. Was your outing free from unwanted rash?

[@KenClick]

No problem. It was a great outing! 🙂

[@noneofyourbusiness9217]

Ken, I hope all that poison ivy I keep seeing hadn't given you any issues.

[@KenClick]

Ha! Not at all. There was a little here and there but it didn't cause me any problem. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)

[@bobbyharper8710]

Hey, camping in a poison ivy jungle.

[@NoTrail]

No escape here in Arkansas

[@JP-hy6ud]

I was wondering if I was crazy, I'm crazy allergic so jealous of people who can enjoy spots like this
