You inspired me to go to Florida for the first time and I followed in your footsteps. I went to Clearwater beach, then Dunedin Causeway and kayaked to Caladeesi (saw dolphins/sharks next to us in the water), kayaked with alligators in Myakka River, kayaked the beautiful Rainbow Springs, and kayaked Silver Springs and a manatee flipped its tail right in front of my kayak. Thank you for your videos!!!! It was a killer vacation ❤

[@Randee04]

Awesome time @kellyhayshikes thank you for bring us along and THOSE CRABS!!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!!

[@rocksforever66]

Hey Kelly and Cody! Cool to see you guys hanging out together ❤

[@Time4myself4me]

Whenever I want to get my fire going quick, I use a small cordless Ryobi blower. You can make coals for cooking in half the time .You can adjust the speed with the trigger. Another great video, thanks for taking us along😊❤

[@diamondbackking4141]

I normally don't make more than one comment per episode, but,, I couldn't watch the whole episode straight through...the ice cream & brownies blew me away! Day 2 complimented I well...I remembered your friends from Arkansas & was so glad to see y'all just having so much fun🎉...you may remembered I used to live with those same everglades right behind my home...❤ thank you my adopted grand daughter !😊

[@edstein5642]

What a fun video! Cow pie brownie & kicked ice cream. Appears the skeeters were not an issue & that’s nearly a miracle. You’re an inspiration for getting out & making adventures.

[@teerex806]

Awesome! The best line of this episode that you said, "I Love My Life". Your videos always make me smile.

[@nam_hn]

Love this episode. So cool that you drove the swamp buggy all the way back!

[@jrcriner6542]

Love this video. I watched it from Dome Life perspective a while back. The buggy driver and donald were awesome

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

I just spent 5 days in big cypress a few weeks back. Beautiful place!! The REAL Florida!!! People always think of beaches and umbrellas in your drink with Florida but THIS IS FLORIDA!!! I freakin love living here. I also every weekend adventure to a different place. Almost every weekend anyway

[@kellyhays23]

One could never ever get bored in this incredible state!!!

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

@@kellyhays23 spot on love!!! Never ever!!! I feel bad for those that sleep in Saturday morning or couch surf. Ain't noooo way!!! Life is too short!!! Go explore people!!!

[@RickINFJ]

Omg Kelly, you just keep on delivering with incredible episodes! From driving the swamp buggy to kayaking through a green tunnel and the cow patty brownies in between. 😂 Thank you so much for the joy you bring us viewers. ❤

[@ThinkHEAVEN-YouTube]

Big-time entertaining ❤🎉. Doesn't seem to get dull 😔!

[@irylljones2787]

Just saw one of her videos today. Awesome videos of things we see here in Florida. The first video was of camping at Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral a place I had camped at five years ago. I have since moved down to Florida and try to go out doing things every weekend. I picked up 3- Fish Pro Jet skis and have used them to go with friends island hopping, open ocean salt water fishing, freshwater fishing, gator hunting, lobstering, and exploring the different waterways. Lots of rivers with similar views in my area. Sebastian Inlet and the Cape canaveral launches are close by. Will continue to watch these videos to maybe find more places to explore with my service dogs. My two oldest Malinois love being in the water, are trained in water rescues and love jet skiing.

[@FMTFXE22]

Wow, how kool. Teamed up with Cody & Kelly aka Dome Life. I’ve been watching them for a couple of years. So sad when their trailer was stolen, can’t believe what crummy people would do such a thing. I really like their new Truck Camper setup they have now. I’ve bought Kelly’s cookbook as gifts for some of my female friends, just waiting for them to invite me over to eat some of her amazing recipes, lol. This was an awesome video, can’t wait for your PDT videos soon. 😊👍

[@user-jc8re8gr6x]

I love watching your videos kelly. Always interesting, always funny! I felt I hike with you ever time you go! God Bless!

[@tonythilmany4014]

That's home..thank you for showing the true beauty of our swamp..nothing better and always a great day..yee yee

[@ralphp3057]

Another good the real Florida adventure! After living here my entire life ! Lots of people get to see why !! Thanks Kelly!👍😁

[@johndonahue4777]

Taco soup? Alrighty time to go to a restaurant. Be right tabaccy..

[@Victory1981]

Beautiful video! I was hiking through the mangroves last week in St. Petersburg at Weedon Island Preserve. I really enjoyed that swamp buggy tour and kayak tour in the video. The ice cream looked yummy as well. Rock on!

[@leedanielson7452]

Kelly is like the sweetest thing ever...Great vid kid!😂❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ianwalker682]

Packed quite a bit into that trip. You sure do know how to enjoy and make good use of your time. Those brownies and ice cream looked really good!!

[@OakleyOriginals]

Thank you for sharing this Florida swamp adventure, Kelly! It looks like so much fun, and the nature is bountiful!

[@charlesb4267]

Kelly, I was watching those people blowing on your fire and that reminded me of a technique you might never have thought of using as believe me, blowing on a fire takes so much energy to accomplish so little !. Yes using a blower really does things as in a leaf blower but that's over the top. What can work good is any sort of plastic lid that is light and flexible and often the simple lid from a gallon ice cream pail can work well and no big loss if it gets damaged ( unlike some expensive tupperware lid ) . You get the fire going well enough that it won't blow out too easy and you flap the lid back and forth ( like the extension of your hand waving, so your not flailing your arm all over the place ... its mostly wrist action ) feeding a supply of oxygen to the fire and is amazing when one does that some, wait a little for the flames to perk up and do some more and certainly with coals already established and putting more wood on, that can just bring the coals alive and light up that fresh wood.

[@leedanielson7452]

Cow patty brownies!!!😂😂😂

[@eeyore1197]

Somebody needs to convert one of those swamp buggies into a mobile swamp camping platform; take out the seats and make room for pads or a hammock. That would be a blast out there.

[@sherriewoods9538]

Wow! What an awesome video, thank you so much for bringing us along ❤

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

Those buggies are awesome. Florida is so beautiful. I’m going to have to visit again. I like that recipe name, Cow Patty Brownie.

[@JasonfromEarth]

That looks like so much fun. Now I want a swamp buggy!

[@Loner2012AT]

Enjoy your adventures and videos. Cool owl! My favorite part is you brought Mr. Donald along for the ride and he led the cruise. He doesn't like being on camera but enjoys hanging out with you.

[@jamesadams2334]

WOW GIRL! Another super video! They just keep getting better and better. Thank you for taking us along. geek

[@diamondbackking4141]

Go Kelly ! Enjoy life cause it's shorter than you think. So enjoy going on these adventures with you...❤🎉😊

[@davidvasquez6765]

Glad you got to meet up with Cody and kellie.have fun enjoy watching your videos.

[@dannyjamison8337]

This was a really fun video! I've spent a good amount of time on Turner River road, Jane's scenic drive, Loop road and some other areas off the Tamiami trail (highway 41). Southern Florida is just one of my favorite places on earth! Kudos to you Kelly, for doing such a great job capturing what you did!

[@tommyamaya4254]

Beautiful scenery! Florida really is a unique, magical place!

[@rockydaleo6998]

Awesome! I love how your “living” your life💞

[@viaoutdoors]

I am sure glad you let the coals start “coaling” early. 😂

[@ebroskie]

It would be fun to camp on the porch of that old homestead!

[@captainandrewcrabtree6535]

Living large... awesome trip! Taco soup and cow pie brownie ice cream looked like a great end to a great day! 🤙🦀🌴

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Thank you for taking us along on all of your adventures_especially this one! I’ve been watching you sine you were preparing for the AT. I love you sense of adventure, your sense of wonder, your love and respect for our natural world and for introducing us to such wonderful and interesting people. You are a gem, 9L!

[@richardross7219]

Very nice. Next time try a dump cake. You just dump the batter into the dutch oven on top of the fruit slices(usually peaches). Good Luck, Rick

[@jakobjones8738]

Love the video! as a native to Florida you got to check out flamingo Florida and try the coastal prairie trail to east clubhouse beach! one of the coolest places I've ever been able to camp at!

[@thethomascayer]

Some fun adventures! My favorite part was the Mangrove Tunnel. Looked so cool! That swamp buggy tour looked like so much fun as well. And the ice cream?! So good!

[@starman9458]

The Everglades is beautiful and it was great you drove the swamp buggy. I’d love to visit the Everglades and that’s some great cooking you got! By the way, I’ll be exploring caves and Native American burial sites with my friends today trying to uncover some history.

[@jrcriner6542]

Definitely going to get that ice cream ball for my grandkids 😊

[@maxmillion4216]

Highly recommend a pocket bellow for the fire. Use mine every time.

[@kellyhays23]

[@jasonmcgill3904]

You can also use your new flextail. I use mine to stoke the fire all the time. They work great.

[@NicolasLovestraveling]

Great video as always! I’ve always wanted to check out the Everglades because of the abundance of wildlife. I’ll definitely need to visit here sometimes, continue the great work!

How’s it feel being a swamp buggy driver? It ain’t NASCAR, but it’s definitely a treat.

[@ralphmaddox-kk4mj]

You are a swamp buggy darlin!!!!😊

[@user-pd3vg3nn3y]

Hi Kelly the food 🥘 and ice cream is Awesome Amazing mmmmmmmGood😊

[@florida-alaskasummer22driv62]

I guess this isn't a coincidence, since I like a lot of the things you do on your channel, but i've been thinking about going on a swamp buggy for a few months, and was just watching videos of where to go on one in FL (I live here) last week. 🤙

[@Warren_Farms]

[@Scott_Atlanta]

A little Donald goes a long way.

That was awesome. You have become the wild Florida woman, how cool. Kelly have you taken an airboat ride yet? Fun but noisy. Hope you are doing well and enjoying life. The ice cream looked awesome. Stay well and be happy. Gators were my fear when I started kayaking. but I realized they were not going to attack me.
