The more I see of these type videos the more I realize every part of the country - and I'm sure, the world has it's unique beauty. It's not just the Northwest, or Southwest or Midwest or Gulf states or Atlantic or Pacific seaboard. We all need to protect our country and planet with a passionate fierceness.

[@pamelasauers787]

Again thanks for sharing a little bit of you lives with us. My wife and I watch your uploads together usually on Friday night. I've made her a fan of Dome Life. Your vlogs make us smile and laugh as we watch them (~);}!!! Stay safe!!!

[@SharaBinghamMills]

Good Lord Cody, you are a man on a mission! I didn't think you could find it.

[@wardarcade7452]

9:31- I'm not sure whether the Native American woman guide (Sacajawea) for the Lewis and Clark Expedition actually got to see the Sacajawea Hot Springs named for her but it's about 150 miles from the Sacajawea Interpretive Center in Salmon, Idaho where her original tribe was located so it's likely she'd heard about it! You also weren't too far from Yellowstone Park where about half of ALL hot springs and geysers on Earth are located! Spectacular shots of the Idaho Rockies from that rather steep and slippery boulder field! Yeah, it's a question of when not if those boulders will have a landslide there! Great job, you two!

[@bryanbyrd9478]

You're lucky to have a wife that knows how to cook, likes camping, and is easy on the eyes. Love the content!

[@doughutchison6382]

So glad Cody found his drone. My wife is an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot and uses it commercially. She can identify with the issue he had. Though never crashed, it’s aggravating when the connection is lost. She just upgraded to a new drone and we hope all goes well. We are traveling in our truck camper from our home in north Texas and are currently north of Big Sur, California, heading up the coast to Cannon Beach, Oregon. I really want to see the Sawtooth Mountains someday! Safe travels and may God bless you both!

That hot spring pool was just what the doctor ordered after that hike..

[@heathermachala7623]

Poor Cody trucking up the freaking mountain! Pretty BA!

[@samshepperrd]

3:00 That's obviously the altitude. You need to be acclimated for about two weeks over 10,000 feet above sea level. Otherwise anyone will be huffing and puffing like that. 4:12 That's altitude sickness. I can see the vessels in his head popping out. Time to have a sit for a few minutes and maybe a swig of water. Looks like he must be at or above sea level - 10-11,000 feet probably there. You've gotta take it easy up that high.

[@CodyandKellie]

I’m acclimated at this point. It was the to was running up the mountain so that I could still make the hot springs. Took me about 2.5 hours to find the drone.

[@RandyNixon]

[@billmccullough2323]

That was a LOT of work to recover a drone that is acting up like a piece of junk!!! The view from where the drone was located may have been worth that crazy climb though!!! I know that spaghetti was amazing. Somehow you two always find a way to make an amazing day when it is the end of the day. Love you guys and thanks for another amazing video!!

[@CodyandKellie]

Kellie told me to leave it but it’s $3,000 for a new one. This one is our refurbished insurance drone

[@billmccullough2323]

I understand the challenge of recovering the drone. Personally, I would also consider the risk and the cost of failure requiring a trip to an ER and the time for recuperating from a devastating injury like a broken bone or dangerous head injury. Weighing the comparison of possible losses, in my case as an old fart, that drone would have stayed where it crashed!!! Some old man wisdom! Listen to Kellie more! Her intuition is always better than your best judgement. LOL (Note that old man wisdom is acquired by the application of poor judgement!)@@CodyandKellie

Just a thought on the drone, is the battery not making a good connection maybe? I mean, the battery detached, so maybe a weak fitment of some kind.🤷‍♂Glad you recovered it.👍 Butt sliding absolutely should be an Olympic sport.👍🤣🤣🤣 And as usual, now I am hungry.🤷‍♂

It’s brand new batteries. It’s a refurbished drone from our insurance so….

[@CookieMonster_1969]

Hello from North of you! What beautiful country down there. Cody, you amaze me. That was so pretty up there. It's true, I've never even seen a little bit of irritation from you... I'm guessing there were some words exchanged between you and that head strong drone. The hot springs were cool! I like the Bear shirt. I would order a long sleeve green one if you bring them back. The Dark clouds and the rain were neat. I bet you felt safe in your camper. Nice vlog! Thanks Kellie and Cody.

Daaaammmnn, Cody! Now that was on a mission if i ever saw one!! What a find! And wow! What a view! So, u didnt make that summit in Washington, but doesnt matter, u made this one! Glad u made it safely back down! Kellie, what were ur thoughts as u watched this video?! Mad, happy, "take me with next time" or "that was too risky, lets not do that again"! What a great time to sit in the hot springs after that trek! The rain and thunder on the mountains looked beautiful and sounded so good on the roof of the camper. Still very hot and very dry here. Kellie, yummy dinner after a long, busy day! Safe travels till next time🌞✌️

[@CodyandKellie]

Hey, personally I told Cody to leave the drone because it has acted up so much lately. But we didn’t need to spend money on another one. I’m glad he went up and found it. No I did not wanna go.

[@snowbirdlady7221]

You two are killing me, but I have to thank you so much for sharing the Sawtooths. I was supposed to be there for about 10 days, but I had three 100 degree days between Coeur d' Alene and Stanley and the forecast was for more of the same! I couldn't take it so I cancelled my 1 night at Stanley RV Park, bagged trying to dry camp at Stanley Lake, and headed to Yellowstone early. Thank goodness it was much cooler there, as I knew it would be. So glad you hit it just right! I've been there many times, but never camped and I'm so disappointed. Thanks for sharing! So glad you safely made that hike. Scree scrambling is very dangerous. Good save of the drone!

[@HoustonBrownPhotography]

Cody, let me offer an explanation as to why the drone lost connection. I had that same drone and used it professionally so I've had quite a bit of experience with it. Those batteries, although not obvious will start to expand. Especially on the underbelly where the black is that goes face down in the drone. If that gets puffy, or feels puffy at all you should not use that battery. With that particular design, the battery, which can always get hot during flight, will expand and actually push it self out of the cradle there by disconnecting itself. The drone will just fall out of the sky. I suggest you check that particular battery and if there is any puffiness whatsoever when you push on that black area do not use that drone. Also, when you push the battery in it should be a good solid click. If it feels a bit soft, I guarantee it's because that battery is going bad. This is fairly common for all these tight batteries. Hope this helps.

[@jimmycleveland1373]

I'll second what Houston said. We have a DJI Drone for our land survey business. I would check the firmware on the drone and controller as well.

[@HeadWestOn90]

what model drone is that? which would you recommend if buying a new drone for youtubing? thanks!!

[@micheleulrich-hb2ok]

What an adventure! That drone would be in time out! But, seriously, I was worried for you at times. That was quite a hike. The hot springs had to feel great after that hike to get the drone. Kellie, I love your shirt! Wow, isn't it great to be in the camper out of the weather? That is what I have always enjoyed abot the camper. I can cook outside if i want, but be cozy and dry in the camper in bad weather. Best of both worlds. I wish i could get your pressure cooker, but you told me it isn't available anymore 😢. Oh, our carbon monoxide detector woke us up one night, too. I googled it to know if we could go back to sleep. I went out and turned off the battery disconnect, lol. Happy camping 😊.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you! Yes it’s so much easier. We have more time to focus on our channel.

Wow! What an epic find!! Haha 😆you wouldn’t have had that amazing view without it getting lost- BUT I feel for you. We have the same drone and I’m always terrified of losing connection 😂

[@mikefarrell5996]

To go where no man has gone before! Cool and look at the views. Go dude.

[@tlcoucke]

Just thinking of possible issues... Take your drone battery to Batteries Plus and see if they can rebuild it if it needs it. That helped me at work with a battery pack. Wrap a piece of tape around the drone to keep the battery pack from dropping out. It might still disconnect, but at least they will be together when you find them. We might start teasing about trained drone attacking Eagles.

[@roadtriplover.]

Butt surfing? I’m laughing so hard.

[@BrandonBaecker]

Nice. Thanks for sharing. Good rule of thumb is to have 2 watts of solar for every amp hour of battery storage and you'll be pretty self sufficient for charging. So for 200Ah you'd want at least 400 watts of solar. That should keep you going without depleting your battery if you stay in one spot long enough (even if the sun isn't perfect). This is the first video I've watched of yours but I'll be watching more! 😁 That was an insane hike to find that drone! 😆

[@markpirtle1096]

Hi Cody. I have many years of experience with that particular drone manufacturer. I found it odd that your drone did not return home when it lost connection. I think you said in the video that this has happened before, and your drone just hovers in place? One explanation might be in your settings. There are several options in the settings menu that determine how the drone reacts if it loses connection with the transmitter. One is that it will just hover in place. This is useful if flying from a moving object, like a boat. When the return to home location is set (usually the takeoff spot), the drone will return to that GPS coordinate and land. Well, if on a boat (which moves) the home point will not be where you took off from, and the drone will land in the water. When I am flying from my boat, this is the setting I use. In a normal situation, the default setting of returning to home and landing is fine. You might want to check this setting.

[@CiaofCleburne]

I’ll nvr understand why drones are black or grey. Seems more sensible to make them opposite colors of nature, like neon pink or safety orange…personally I like Kubota orange. Intern’l Harvester Red is nice too. I want to learn to fly a drone. I have a cheap one and found a lichen glade w/zero trees or power lines. Maybe I should fire it up!

1.5X the number of solar watts vs battery capacity, so you guys need somewhere around 325 to 350W to keep those batteries charged. You can always add a SAE connector port to the side of the camper and get a couple of foldable panels.
