[@Peak_a_Boomer1963]

C and K, you two are such talented people individually, but together, you are an amazing team. And I love how you adore each other. K, your cooking is pure artistry! I am in awe of your talent. Add to that the music and the fire...I was mesmerized. My mouth was watering, and I was just waiting for you to hand me a bowl through my screen. C..stay away from those gators and wild hogs!

[@Mustang-tt3zt]

The cooking is amazing.also the truck camper was the perfect choice.and nature at it's best.with an nice fire just complements it all your friends here always 🥳

[@debbyrymer9298]

Beautiful, thank you so much for cooking outside Kellie it looks delicious. And Cody love the adventure and the music is you guys

[@bertkelly7650]

Ain't it great not having to set up a tent? Glad you guys graduated.

[@cuz129]

Hey, if you aren't bleeding you didn't really go hiking. Or in your case Cody, if you didn't get stuff in your hair.

[@debnelson5071]

Welcome to the South! We’re in NC, and what a shame the weather prevented you from enjoying the Blue Ridge Parkway! I know you two are headed to warmer temperatures, but at some point, you should consider exploring the Outer Banks of NC. Maybe this spring! You’ll also want to visit the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, too! Stay safe!❤

[@silby77]

Both the Outer Banks and Asheville are wonderful places!!

[@teslah2997]

they are from the South…..Arkansas

[@caroll584]

Cody it was so fun to watch you explore such a peaceful area. The potato chowder looked amazing as always. Kellie love your cooking.

[@chaneeckert7782]

Just received our cookbook thanks. Also that rear grab handle on the back should be flipped over the door. Campers flex especially on the terrain you guys go on. The door has a tiny latch and lock which can come open so you’ll learn the hard way when you get somewhere and the door has been flung open your whole trip. Sure is nice to have the new setup in the rain eh..

[@13kittykat]

Question have you had wild game come up due to smells of cooking in the national forest? That was my concern on our last camp due to deep in forest.

[@richardmorales1961]

Why do you always call your wife Angel Princess

[@billmccullough2323]

Cody! Fantastic video of the nature stuff on your hike! Kelly, that Potato Soup........... MMMMmmmmm! That looks amazing!!! Thanks for another great video!

[@judydickson3823]

Great video. Is your recipe in your cookbook? Will more be printed, as they are sold out? Thank you 😊

[@derekrichard9189]

Ahh finally back in your groove!! I’m a Kelli fan love her cooking an she’s awesome and Cody when you share your knowledge like you did with your walk … good stuff.. seemed things we’re headed different but this was best video in few

[@Jeffbob442]

Hi you guys! We also have a Palamino Truck Camper and WE were just outside of Charleston during the October cold snap! Wanted to let you know about a mod we did on our 2902 that made it Way warmer, especially up in the bed area. We took the front window surround off [4 srcrews] inside, and found only a thin sheet of reflectex bubble sheet for insulation! We insulated all around the front cap and headboard areas with fiberglass batts and some 1inch foam board above window. Then to finish that area off, we pulled the mattress out and put a 1'' layer of K Flex closed cell foam sheets down with some adhesive [cut the sheets to fit together] now we have and extra inch of cushion under our mattress with an R9 insulation value. So nice and warm now! Wish we did it earlier. I would love to see you Guys do this and make a video of it so others can do the same to there own. Love your Vid's, Great work!

[@dhamm3815]

“Palm fronds”. It is the palmetto state.

[@nogovname9998]

OMG you are in my city. thats awesome.

[@Journey_with_lovey_and_pops]

Haven't watched Thursday's vlog yet. Just wanted to say that I love the cookbook. I haven't cooked from it yet but hoping to over Thanksgiving break. So happy for you two getting the new truck and camper. Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels you two!

[@genesiesky3756]

Nice video. I especially liked the tranquility of the water flowing pass the palm.

[@dlb054647]

Have you guys considered cargo netting instead of the painted cabinet door? I think it would work very well in this situation

[@marshayerby3448]

I was thinking the samething

[@sheilarounds5286]

We love this vlog. The music is so relaxing. Your vlogs are the best. We love SC. We spend February and March in Myrtle Beach. Thanks for this vlog

[@lauracerva9716]

Love watching you guys and congratulations on the new camper!

[@78twood]

Yep! Getting closer to the coast is gator territory 😳 I lived in Florida for 27 years and didn’t know there were gators in South Carolina until I went to Hilton Head Island which is fairly close to Charleston. There have been gator attacks too ! Those ponds looked kind of scary. Like the kind that gators like to hang out in ! After living in Florida and hearing on occasion on the news that a gator had come out of a lake and snatched a small child or dog, I am very wary of the ponds as you get closer to the coast! Pretty video though 😎 And Kelly the food looked AMAZING as always 🥰

[@tmtex]

Its a Golden rule not to cook bacon in a camper

[@225somewhere]

Glad to see y’all cooking more outside again. Food always looks great!

[@HyacinthDaisyRose]

That soup looks very interesting, I’ll have to try it with some turkey bacon! 😊 beautiful spot and scenery.. love the music too! 😉

[@davidlewis9068]

wonderfully done as always you guys are awesome. If you make it to central Florida I will look you up

[@brenthiteoutdoors]

Great Video! Nice place....thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@onedaycloser2872]

Hello from South Jersey ✌️

[@Wildflower1880]

Something is wrong, You've not posted in 6 days..... I'm praying that everyone is ok......

[@lisajarnigan2112]

Hey, while you guys are in SC, you should visit Congaree National Park! It’s the least visited NP, but so underrated! It is the largest intact expanse of old growth bottomland hardwood forest remaining in the southeastern United States. There are several champion trees there. Plus, you won’t have to deal with the mosquitoes this time of year!

[@rtshort]

Potato Soup looked GREAT. It's a Southern thing. :) If you come through MS, let me know. I'm in Vicksburg on the MS River. Plenty of RV spots, and I have a place about 2 hours South on a local lake, MS River Oxbow lake.

[@garyb4929]

Great video! Cody, look like a good hike. Kelly; another great meal, thanks for cooking outside. Wife has Discovered your channel & watches with me. 😊😊

[@jamesyantis9334]

Absolutely outside stuff is where the interest is. Hiking biking. Loved the Big Bend episode. Didn't know about the fossil museum, very cool!

[@wildwally9]

Campfire and potato soup when it's cold outside....doesn't get much better than that! The pretty area you explored looks so much like the swamps here in the Florida panhandle. We're experiencing the cold here tonight with 28 predicted for our low.

[@lisaslittlecritters]

This was a great video, loved all the nature, those curling branches looked like snakes.

[@silby77]

Wonderful video and that potato soup by a campfire is exactly what I'm needing right now!! -Hedy

[@krissawyatt]

For the next vlog or so could you guys talk about your monthly budget? How much you spend on groceries, propane, gas, etc.? Please & thanks! Much love!!

[@jeboutdoors377]

If you come back up hwy 26. Exit 60 on hwy 66 look up brick house campground. Its free to camp there its in newberry county. When yall come back could i meet yall and see yall truck camper.

[@derikwright3383]

You need to have a Springfield XDM 10 MM Elite on your side for hog protection. And maybe for a big foot stalker.

[@markreynolds9570]

Should be in the SW now.

[@suzannemiller7044]

If you guys are still around Charleston, go check out Santee Coastal Reserve…. Also, free camping

[@faithrada]

Maybe the alligators will eat the hogs. 👍 Glad you finally got to see the Atlantic.. imho there's nothing like it.... from Bar Harbor to the Keys.

[@nottoooldtwo]

We love your videos! When my husband saw your cookbook he made sure I ordered it as soon as I could find out that it came back on stock. I'm looking forward to following many of them, but i made your Broccoli and Cheese soup tonight and it's absolutely fabulous!! My husband loved it. Thanks for sharing

[@janevalentine6391]

My friend picked me up one morning for bible study and sniffs in a great big breath through her nose and says "oh you smell sooo good, just like bacon." Stop the car; let me out...😂😂😂.

[@nanscott3362]

You are by my home town, Charleston. Gators don’t like colder temperatures so you may not see any. Wild pigs are around. I have seen them at Bear Island and Donnelley Wild life , South of Charleston. Enjoy your stay .

[@billangelo2190]

Hi Guys, 1st vlog I caught was the tour of the camper, nice. You mentioned not needing the black tank. Someone may have already commented but you can purchase a shut off that screws onto sewer drain, close it and open Grey and black valve combining their capacities. Safe Travels

[@FrankGreenway]

FYI gators aren’t really active in cold weather. It doesn’t mean they aren’t still a danger so be careful. Hey if you get into Charleston find a restaurant and try “she crab soup”. I don’t like crabs but I love that soup.

[@pamelamikel7967]

Ok. Creepy place to me. Hogs are the devil to Texans. Move on you two...Love your channel.

[@cuz129]

I know it sounds crazy but I could feel the warmth of that campfire coming through my computer screen. I could almost smell the smoke too. Almost like being there. Usually wild hogs will run from people, I have run into them several times when I was bow hunting and they acted terrified of me even though they were way bigger than I was.

[@lousadventures2111]

There's two in Delaware Redden and Black bird state forest. I work until the 7th keep me posted wife and I can make a meal for you guys.

[@xerylemountain7154]

wow, that was really beatiful editing and footage, including the delicious food. Thank you

[@ursinidaho]

What a cool place! Once again, great filming on your little hike to the ponds. The soup looked amazing. Its so interesting how music can set the tone of a scene. I liked the dinner music. Cheers!

[@jessicafuller9170]

Mmmmmm potato soup! I love your videos, they are so well done and relaxing! Thank you!

[@annsegler9189]

Another great vid! Love love love watching Kellie cook!!

[@jamesmoore2945]

Those wild hogs are no joke, if you hear them move away. And those "ponds" are a mosquito breeding ground in the summer. You picked a good time to be there.

[@azdesertrat9104]

I look at all that pond land and can only think of where the gators might be hiding! Yikes! I would NOT be anywhere near that place right now if I were y'all! I hate gators!

[@Joshandjenaregoingcamping]

I started calling my wife demon-peasant and she loves it. She won't admit that she loves it, but she does.

[@JenniferNPL1]

Eeks! I'm excited for this episode. We absolutely love boondocking in our TT.

[@tonywells2492]

Hey guys if you are still in Tn around Chattanooga check out Rock Island State Park tons of water falls we love it there

[@michaelbriggs9799]

We're sitting here in Benton, Ark. and I was wondering what kind of mileage you are getting in the truck? My wife wants to know if you have named it?

[@SirJamesReef]

So close to Cape Lookout,NC! Camping on the beach you guys would love it.

[@mikeroc1208]

It's simply amazing how fast you can saw through a piece of wood!😂

[@AlfredoLopez-gd9wi]

Y’all need to come to Topsail Hill Preserve State Park in FL to escape the cold… 😀

[@jeanwright1063]

Can do without all the scenery and pictures just get to the camping

[@timrodatz1274]

Sense your so close to the beach, their are several state parks on the coast beach, I don't know what the prices are though, might can somewhere to boondock fingers crossed.

[@crazgirl80]

Snakes , i hope you have on snake boots. Cottonmouth and water moccasins love that kind of water, it hasnt been cold enough to send them in hibernation. I live in NC .

[@terryshultz2344]

Can you give an update on the Starlink? Are you using it with your new setup? A pros and con review would be interesting.

[@debbieswaggerty5567]

Yup I totally agree don’t cook bacon inside the camper.

[@sallystites2946]

Kelly do you have a culinary background. Your food looks so delicious and pretty.

[@shanecoite3292]

classy music very nice. Welcome to South Carolina.

[@tammiemeadows5278]

So what would ya do if ya happen to see wild boars on the walk? That was quite a lot of torn up ground. Be safe.

[@MikeMaheu]

Wow, had no idea you were in my backyard. Welcome to the Low Country!

[@lindagolden9892]

I’d be ever so on guard for 🐊 as well as swamp water is the perfect hideaway.

[@marylinkipley3070]

Didn’t find where anyone told you the yellow leaf is a Tulip Poplar.

[@billbryan8943]

You're developing some top-notch camera skills!

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

You definitely have a passion for cooking.

[@stevecounts325]

They tell me global warming is cooling things off,somehow.

[@terrylarkin690]

Good bond fire always the highlight of camping in my opinion

[@judyderieux8484]

I really like when you both talk about when you free up and the stuff you did ✨

[@Wide_Eyed_Wanderer]

I hate I missed y’all while you were in Oconee state park!

[@julietheflute1]

Please be aware of deer ticks they are bad in the fall jumping on warm people as well as deer

[@claramullen]

Cody it looks a lot like you would be walking here in the Florida wilderness.

[@teslah2997]

Pigs scare me, too, Cody…..and I am ot afraid of many things

[@curtisnjodyderonde4814]

I sure wouldn't cook outside with hogs around yuck

[@MICHELEDART]

YOU GUYS ROCK, SO JEALOUSE YOU HAVING SUCH FUN AND I AM NOT; LOL

[@crystalh1402]

Agree on the wild hogs, one of those animals that makes me go nope no definitely not!

[@richardbalding1101]

This looks like such a relaxing time. I can't wait to get my RV and get out there.

[@victoriabroyles6467]

Cody is so good in that he knows the wildlife in any area and what to look for. I really enjoy seeing things through your eyes in every area. You guys are so fun to watch when you explore a new a place

[@scottanderson2980]

Buffalo is getting 100 cm of snow right now

[@daphneyflowers6921]

Welcome to the East Coast!!! Enjoy… there is a lot to see!❤

[@clarebrant5305]

Wow. Level 10 firestarting... ...

[@dinabutler5797]

Nice shirt Cody! 😉

[@conniewaite1371]

Your soup looked good! I add asparagus to mine

[@moore_2_explore]

If you are looking to get out of the cold for sure, head down to the Everglades. There's plenty of camping in Big Cypress National Preserve. It's a different and beautiful world and WARM😎

[@audreypaul1130]

Awesome...you are in my part of the state!

[@allanhover5008]

Outstanding very very good

[@glennmckellar1398]

Loved the piano music.

[@pammohler3253]

I’m glad you guys are in a camper.

[@vinceschulte3907]

Nice videoing, soup looks delicious.

[@davidwilson6377]

Very relaxing video I enjoyed it

[@lilivicordero8077]

Yummy dinner..awesome camp!
