Hail Storm and A Moose Encounter - Nature is Wild

[@betsyroy6269]

I live at over 9,700 ft in Colorado. A few months ago I promised to never again complain about the Rocky Mountain weather after 2 feet of snow on June 1st, put out a scary nearby wildfire. Let it snow, sleet, rain or hail as long as we have no wildfires. I know y'all have been here before but enjoy Colorado. I'm from Alabama I moved out here 10 years ago to go adventuring. Colorado has not disappointed me. I LOVE it !

[@danielc.2042]

I live in Alabama myself and after the heat last week I was close to hooking up my travel trailer and finding me a mountain out west to ride out the summer. Lol

[@billmccullough2323]

When you live in a tent, you will have all kinds of surprises from nature!! You are getting very experienced in dealing with the surprises. KELLY! You were a real trooper jumping in and taking care of things, keeping the awing in good shape and then going right back to preparing dinner as soon as it was over. Girl, that is exactly how ya do it!!! WTG!!!!

[@cloverhills1369]

Camping is hard work in the most ideal conditions...so to get through that and still be content with your Dome Life is admirable 💚🌲Just always know your followers are envious of you😉it's been so dangerously hot in Arkansas that you can barely tolerate doing outdoor activity and it's DEPRESSING. So...this is the excitement of our week😊

[@cloverhills1369]

By the way...we need an update on Jonathan 😉

[@claramullen]

Getting that moose on video is fantastic.

[@markshaw7947]

Life is what happens while you’re waiting for the shrimp to cook ! Great video like always.

[@roadtriplover.]

Seriously! NOBO needs to find a solution for that awning. That mess is insane. Im so frustrated that you have to deal with that awning every time it rains!!

[@romanyroz5609]

Greetings from England we just had that heat here in UK over 40 degrees centigrade in some places. Nothing like cooking in a hailstorm, you pair are something else, great video beats Netflix any day !

[@teresap.5991]

😂 lol, Virgin Rivers a close 2nd😉‼️👍😂

[@mrsapplez2007]

It was no joke here in uk

[@perfectweather]

That wooden ladder like structure looks like a trebuchet

[@adamgonzales7453]

Always keeping him fed with bomb ass well thought out food!

[@Revelacion320]

Every time you guys get hit with that type of weather I pray for your safety and your endurance. You guys make it look so easy, thank you for sharing the raw and real of The nomad life.

[@terrymathis4213]

Wow! So cool to see it from above. Can't believe all the beautiful flowers. And the moose; gosh that's really wild.Now I see why you can't use that canopy, that's too much wrtness.

[@CodyandKellie]

It really is!

[@chuck8228]

Hey guys could you take like a trekking pole of some type and put a tennis ball on one end and prop it under the canvas to help push the rain off instead of standing there pushing it up with your hands? Maybe just a idea

[@kathybullmer8884]

I agree with you all. Our AC was out yesterday until this afternoon and the inside temperature was 90° I have camped when it's hot and it's not fun.

[@barbaracowan8611]

Moose, rain, hail......what else could you wish for in a days time? Living large and we all love watching it.

[@snowbirdlady8496]

Your shrimp alfredo looked so delicious! I am completely impressed with you cooking away in a thunderstorm, taking a break to dump the hail off your awning, and back to cooking dinner! I don't blame you at all for going to high altitude. I've been on my trip for a month now and I've only had 3 days when it was under 95 degrees!! I think I'm 2 or 3 weeks behind you. I was in Rocky Mtn NP camping at 8,000 ft and it was still 90. Black Hills very hot, one day of heavy rain. Badlands - forget it. I was supposed to be there 2 nights, but left after 1. 103 and 105 is just TOO HOT. Enjoy your cooler camp!

[@jimb96828]

Hard to say if it's a young moose or not. Their antlers are just starting to grow and by fall will be huge. Antler size this time of year is no indicator of age. But they are extremely dangerous ! Hope your not in grizzly country which parts of Colorado have. Be safe and keep the videos coming.

[@judyherman1249]

I would like to suggest that if you can lower your wrap around tarp legs by a few inches you might not have the build up of rain, sleet, etc on the tarp. Hence you won't need to worry about pushing off the excess build up of wetness that tends to be a problem. By the way, I absolutely love all the nature you include on your videos.

[@bradshutler9356]

I live in Pagosa Springs, CO at 7,400 ft. As I watched this blog it is 73F and mostly cloudy. It's been raining most days for 3 weeks with more to come until who knows when. Lived in CO for 45 years and have never seen the monsoon rains come so early and last this long. Have also had some very hot days for here this summer. Climate change? What climate change..... Have a good and safe stay in the beautiful mountains.

[@veeemit9719]

I made your blackberry danish and my hubby loved it! Thanks for making it last vlog. That hail was incredible!

[@SharaBinghamMills]

Those gulf shrimp have Corexit in them from the Bp oil spill in 2010. Last time I was in Louisiana they had signs up on the restuarants walls saying you were eating the shellfish at your own risk.

[@victoriabroyles6467]

You guys are such troopers! Looking for just the right place and Cooking through a hailstorm! (Warm your hands over the stove or skillet as you cook) You're amazingly adaptable! Love to you and safe wishes for the rest of your stay here in CO.

[@tammiemeadows5278]

Y’all are super troopers. I’d be one to give it up! Always fun to watch how y’all handle the mundane episodes. 🤗💕

[@Annie-so3cb]

What a great video. You guys handled all that hail like a boss. Cody you are a lot like my husband he has a lot of body heat and I'm the one that's always freezing. That shrimp Alfredo looked so yummy. I'm definitely going to order one of your recipe books. Stay safe have fun. God bless. Love your vlogs.

[@maryhight6030]

Love Stranger Things 💝 stay warm and safe 🤗🤗

[@erinlopiccolo478]

Welcome back to Colorado! I love Colorado weather! Have fun!

[@bootmender]

I love my little motorhome👍❤️, but your young, I enjoy your videos ❤️ stay safe and cool. 101* sherwood today

[@jwiLx]

The el nino/ La Nina explanation was funny.

[@TinCanTwosome]

Keeping your cool isn’t easy when weather surprises you. Kudos to you both!

[@GoXplr]

Had an Elk walk up to our picnic table while camping in NC. What an experience. We're in their world, not the other way around. Nice video ...

[@kitchencarvings4621]

Good timing. We are supposed to have low 70s and even high 60s for the next week but lots of rain too, which we really, really need. I hope you guys are stuck in your tent for the next week and I mean that in a good way. We really, really need it. We say well I hope we can't go hiking because it's raining, hope we can't go cycling because it's raining.

[@deznoyer9673]

Just found you folks a few weeks ago. Venturing northern Michigan you both won my heart. Here's the thing. When you live in southern Michigan, you never need to go any further in any season than northern Michigan for the fullest vacation enjoyment anywhere!

[@dennysnyder334]

You guys are great rain hail and eating like king and queen that place looks great and by yourself. Enjoy and take care of that Jeep

[@candacelemming858]

I encountered a huge, beautiful moose with a tremendous, velvety rack of antlers in Bangor Maine when I was camping. I was was walking along the trail next to our campsite and he was in a cul-de-sac eating grass in the water. He raised his head and I just looked at him, mesmerized. I slowly walked past without any incident. I wasn't afraid and apparently he wasn't alarmed. Thank God, because he only had one way to go and that would have been toward me.

[@donna-n5h]

Crazy weather ! The dinner looked great in spite of the obstacle of hail and rain. The footage of the moose was awesome. My biggest fear would be to come in contact with a bear. Don't forget your bear spray when hiking since it looks pretty remote there. You both looked so cozy in the tent. What a great way to spend the evening watching Netflix all cozy in your tent. I love your tent and the lights inside are magical.

[@calibby85]

I know lots of ppl think talking money is tacky or too personal but if yall are willing I'd be so curious to hear how you set yourselves up to be able to live this way, financially. Love following!

[@trishburrell8100]

I love this cooking in the rain. The beautiful scenery. Can't wait for your cook book it all looks so good . I would of jumped in the car with a moose also. I watch all kinds of videos with people camping in the rain and believe it or not they love it. to. you guys are definitely soul mate Thanks for these videos.

[@debbyrymer9298]

So glad to see you guys safe and cooler it’s been 100 in Tennessee not fun stay safe and watch out for the fires ❤️

[@silby77]

Neighbor from Kentucky here!! The heat has been ridiculous! I absolutely love the summer and it has been almost too much for even me to bear....lots of afternoons at the pool with my daughter lol. Today it is 72 and storming. Hope you get a break from the heat soon as well.

[@00RML00]

I love how y’all say hell instead of hail and ol instead of oil lol. You guys got some good rain. Bet it was refreshing.

[@jamieskitchenadventures75]

Stranger Things Season 4 was filmed at the high school I graduated from in Albuquerque, NM. My brother also helped with the filming as he works for a movie set crew.

[@saracaldwell1738]

You have inspired me and my boyfriend to start camping in a tent also.

[@johnnelson8207]

That is definitely a Boy Scout structure and if they are anything like my son, or me at that age, it's definitely a catapult.

[@brendahone2509]

Thanks for the update on the cookbook. We cant wait! Stay safe and healthy.

[@jessys9868]

WOW< that hail storm was something. Enjoy your cooler weather! Great video

[@silby77]

So glad y'all are beating the heat in beautiful Colorado! The heat has been wild but today it is 72 with thunderstorms here in Kentucky. I know exactly how you felt seeing that moose Kellie. Over 20 years ago, while traveling from Kentucky to California, we saw a young bull moose at a remote rest stop in Colorado. The combination of awe and fear was intense! Also you are such a trooper and an excellent multitasker to cook during that storm! Much love and happy travels! -Hedy

[@moore_2_explore]

Just catching up....signal-less for a bit. Looks lovely there and who doesn't love the Rockies. Sorry you won't be making to the White Mountains this season, it's not really been too terribly hot here😉, but we've had to adjust to weather, heat, and fires before in our nomadic life so we get it. Hope to someday catch yall "on the other"! Be well!

[@kimberleegullbailey2547]

Well back to the regular scheduled program... With werewolf and vampire... 🤣🤣 You two are great!! 🤣👍 Oh and, what are we gonna do? Go home? This is our home. Pack up and leave? 🤣🤣

[@momboss7764]

Everyone in Colorado “we really needed the moisture”

[@lightingbug5246]

Pretty 🏕 camp site! Love the shrimp Alfredo looked so yummy.

[@vicfanwi]

Amazing you went from Copper Harbor MI to Colorado to find the same great camping!!! :)

[@stephaniemickle8463]

You guys should get a projector for movies. Love the content and cooking!

[@lisaslittlecritters]

Have you ever tried using pool noodles under the supports to your awning? This would help keep the water from pooling. You guys are amazing! I just love watching you!

[@dracphelan]

That storm reminds of when I used to camp in Cloudcroft, New Mexico every July. Almost every afternoon I would get a storm like that.

[@patriciasallee4695]

Cool weather there

[@patriciasallee4695]

We are camping there next month

[@dracphelan]

@@patriciasallee4695 We actually had a forest ranger come by and make sure we were prepared for how cold it was going to get one night (40F). One thing to be wary of is the bears. I was staying in a campground and a bear raided several campsites.

[@mt7427]

Which campground had bears in Cloudcroft?

[@dracphelan]

@@mt7427 All of them. But, I was camping at Sleepy Grass. What was funny is that there was a drunk German tourist who chased the bear trying to pet it. Luckily, the bear did not attack him.

[@leanneneuman2719]

Well, I was definitely surprised! I can't believe y'all r all the way back to Colarado! That was quite the rain and hail event! Glad the hail stayed small! I was wondering if y'all missed living in a house during times like this. . . .hot, cold, rain, lightening, thunder, wind, hail and then u answered my question Cody there at the end! You wouldn't want to live any other way! Yes, I think that y'all are Blessed to be able to live life the way u r! There is just no comparison to the daily grind of daily work, traffic, crowded sidewalks, streets, gotta get here or there, go, go, go, so many people! Then, get up and do it all over again! I know u have to stress over some pretty tough situations, but look at where u end up! Beautiful places like this! 👍 Safe travels till next time🌞

[@snowbirdlady8496]

Thanks for the update on your cookbook! I was afraid I had missed it. Really looking forward to trying some of your great recipes!

[@teresap.5991]

Super cool that you had a moose in camp! Kelly I just wanted to let you know that that olive oil you loved is on the list of fake Olive oils. California Olive ranch is real and Aldi brand of extra virgin olive oil is certified real too. Make sure the bottle says certified real or go online and look up the brand you want to buy first to make sure it's real. We are getting ripped off so bad. Beautiful beautiful video just love it! PS you guys, there's been crazy weather all over the country this summer many tornadoes high winds hell you name it. I live in Southwest Pennsylvania and it's been really hot lately and terrible storms off and on. Supposed to rain here for the next three days. Weather goes in cycles and this is just one of those years.

[@faithrada]

Thanks for the list. patently Trader Joe's also carries a valid virgin olive oil. What a sad state this world is in.. yup, food research is a full time job now.

[@Annie-so3cb]

I buy the aldi's brand and love it.

[@teresap.5991]

@@faithrada the owner of trader Joe's and the owner of Aldi's are brothers and I believe they get their products from the same sources.

[@teresap.5991]

@@Annie-so3cb me too! 😊💖

[@jannapeters8506]

We usually pull one of the poles in a bit and let the rain roll off.

[@jessys9868]

I was so excited the first time I saw moose, I think it was in Idaho.

[@cuz129]

We are headed to the UP next week. But mostly not camping, but we staying in hotels and B&B's, but we will have our tent and gear in case. The ten day forecast looks OK temperature wise.

[@shannonm75]

I haven't watched in a few weeks. Been feeling bad with health. I enjoy your camping videos more than others.

[@karenhallrodriguez9205]

I am watching this at midnight and it's 85° F here in north central Texas! Tomorrow 100° F and it will for the foreseeable future

[@Arlene8134]

Go to the Pacific Northwest in the summer. We escape Florida often to go there for some relief. Highly recommend.

[@deborahjones5699]

Well hail!

[@HoustonBrownPhotography]

Being down here in Texas where it is endless 100°+ days, watching you guys in the cooler weather, despite the hail, excites me for the Fall down here. Definitely plan on visiting your home state of Arkansas once it cools down. My dream camp trip would be to camp net to one of those streams that I have seen you guys do so many times. Especially since I have the same Joolca setup as you. :) Keep on Keeping on.

[@tentingaroundflorida]

Holy cow you all are traveling a ton. I personally love hot camping. I just got back from a week camping in Florida

If you think you're the only folks who don't like the heat. Consider that a large portion of your viewers likely live within driving distances of some of your campsites... And we'd rather watch you two on T.V. than go outside and sweat our butts off and get eaten alive by the mosquitos.

[@cloverhills1369]

Oh how true🤣

[@kristennone785]

Yall should get some Green Elephant tent poles on Amazon , they have a ball on the top so it doesn’t puncture and put in under your awning where you have to push water off.

[@lindagolden9892]

Luv the moose 🎶 segment. Y’all select some of the nicest tunes for your videos. Lived twenty yrs in Colorado and always enjoyed the typical refreshing brief afternoon mountainside ☔️.

Welcome back to the cool Rocky Mtns. If you stay a while, check out Red Feather Lakes. Dowdy Lake has some nice scenery for kayaking. Also, if you go further west on 14, you'll sit Steamboat Springa. Check out Strawberry HotSprings. Steamboat Lake State Park is gorgeous and lots of great dispersed camping in Routt National Forest. Enjoy...stay cool. Those afternoon storms can be a doosey, but usually don't last long.

It's so cool to see a moose that close in the wild - but I'd be a bit scared too and probably would have went into my truck. From talking about the massive heat wave to a hail storm... nature is wild!
