What You Don't See | A Day In The Life of Living in a Tent

[@hanalukamoon5413]

You both are so hilarious…feeding off the carb cow and trying desperately to figure out next meal plan. I feel you. Sleep is so important especially for women who cook with love, takes everything out of you with the most satisfying heart. 💛From Northern California

[@kirstenstrobel4387]

Years ago when we visited friends in Texas, they took us to an HEB store. It was great, even back then. If you find you don't use all your fresh herbs, you can always leave them on the stem, tie a string around them, and hang them till they dry out. No waste! ~ Kir (and Ron)

[@faithrada]

Ohh yea! We visited relatives just outside of Austin.. in Backstrop? TX. We went to an HEB for the first time... Man.. it was like the Disney World of grocery stores. The only trouble was.. it was SO HOT the ice cream never made it home. 😫 . It was also the first time we ate at a SONICS on the way to the Texas Hill Country. A very interesting trip.

[@thevanstopshere]

Here’s a little dish washing tip to save water. Pick up a half gallon pesticide pump sprayer from Walmart and use that to rinse the dishes after soaping them up. It works GREAT!!

[@pamelamikel7967]

Oh...I car camped with attached hatch tent...by myself (I'm 71)...for the first time, 3 nites in Mason City Park Hill Country, a couple weeks ago. It was amazing! Deer every am & dusk. I'm hooked.

[@ethanlagrone7322]

Man! My wife and I were shocked to see you are right outside San Antonio, where we live. I'm a pharmacist for H.E.B. glad to see you liked the store. It's the best grocery store chain in the country! Hope you enjoy your stay in Fredericksburg, its a neat town and has a unique variety of places to eat and shop down the main strip.

[@dfpytwa]

And another hillbilly camper suggestion for your pantry would be to hit a military surplus store and buy a large 30mm ammo can the type with release levers and handles on both sides. They are great for bread, chips, cookies or any other items you don't want to get crushed while jostling around in your camper. They are airtight and water tight. I suggest drilling a hole in it and installing a pressure relief valve though otherwise they become hard to open if you go from high to low altitude. You can usually find those at Farm and Fleet or Tractor supply stores as replacement parts for air compressors. You can weld hasps on the ends too that protrude through the handles that you can put D rings on and chain it to a tree through the handles while camping in bear country as well to use as anti bear boxes for your food or other smelly items that they might be attracted to.

[@SLloyd-qb8kt]

Good advice. I love military surplus stores. :)

[@vinceschulte3907]

I'm on second buddy heater, call company they recommend that put a propane filter on it, the line gets clogged up.

[@edstein5642]

That 30 bag isn’t for winter y’all, down or not. Go with a sub-0 bag because you never know when you’ll lose heat. Throw a hot hands packet down in the foot of the bag & keep a water bottle in there too so you don’t waste fuel melting ice. When your qt Nalgene bottle is frozen solid, that’s a cold night. Love your vids.

[@vblife18]

I love watching you guys. I grew up in Arkansas as well. I owned a nobo 10.6. I hated seeing that yours was stolen. However, when you come to Texas there are three religious experiences that you have to experience. 1.) Buc-ee's 2.) Whataburger's and 3.) H-E-B. HEB stands for Howard E Butt, the guy who founded it. However, they now say "here everything is better".

[@marthaoliver1099]

I discovered Whataburger in Texas in 1971 , my family came to visit from Seattle & I took them to have a burger, they seemed the size of my steering wheel, thanks for reminding me . Merry Christmas from Alaska ☃️

[@calibby85]

I've lived in Austin my whole life and I didn't realize how lucky we were to have HEB until I started traveling and seeing other grocery chains (ones that aren't Whole Foods and Trader Joe's lol)around the country

[@jseif5844]

I'm glad to see the horrible tornadoes missed you.

[@SpookyBabii_666]

I raised up to always have the essentials for breakfast: 🥐🍳 Good seasonings Bread 🍞 Butter Grits Eggs Baking powder Flour Some sort of protein Jam and coffee ☕ , sugar and creamer 😊

[@popscyclep8084]

Oh yeah Only in Texas HEB! I enjoy watching you kids. I see how grateful you are for the support of your viewers etc. I hope you realize how very blessed you are by God! 🙏

[@terrimalek]

H.E.B. is awesome👍🏼 I love finding stores that have great selections of organics too. I'm a North Texas native. Welcome😊

[@rev2kev]

The thermostat is probably out on your heater. They're a major PITA to change out, if you can even find the part.

[@morgansnellgrove6524]

Hey Kelly! You guys might like the new Dawn Powerwash spray for doing dishes without a water source. We live on a sailboat and it really saves us some water. You can spray the dishes without wetting them. You only need water to rinse them. Love your videos! 😊

[@lynnebunning7273]

Only my 2nd video. Just fluked finding you, glad I did. Now to go back to watching previous. Love your tent set up. Home away from home. Cheers & blessings from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻😁😁😁😁😁

[@JG-sr4mk]

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I am a huge fan and have been living vicariously through your awesome videos. It brings me a lot of peace and happiness just watching y’all enjoy the simple beautiful life together ❤️ also I am keeping you both in my prayers

[@dhubbard9728]

If you want to camp on the beach, Magnolia Beach is about 2 to 3 hrs east of you north of Seadrift TX. It's free camping too. And its 2 hours north of North Padre Island National Park. Have fun!

[@ritabeckner2978]

I am a big fan of you alls videos. You are a killer cook on that cooking and grilling. You two are down to earth and good people. Cant wait for your next video. Much Love

[@jamesdoughty5530]

When it gets down in the teen's and 20s, insert a sleeping bag into another sleeping bag, you'll be surprised how warm you will sleep. I've used this technique a number of times in the mountains of Arkansas.

[@derricksnider450]

Welcome to your first HEB! A true Texas staple. Funny to think other states don’t have such fine establishments. 😂

[@darksideemt]

HEB is the best grocery store there is. Fredericksburg is pretty cool little town, just went there a few months ago. Make sure you stop and get some good TX BBQ somewhere.

[@kevinengland8209]

If you make it to a buc-ees , ask for prickly pear jelly. You won't regret it, Good Times !!Great Videos !!

[@jimhagler2242]

We live near an H‑E‑B in Weatherford,TX and that is our go to store. Take time to read the back story on H‑E‑B. Family owned. Jim and Judy in Texas.

[@Whiplash1937]

[@marysanders1522]

Welcome to Texas you guys. HEB is great and most of us call say it like a word not the letters. You might be able to get the buddy heater online and deliver to the store or if you have a chance come down to Galveston area, I saw them at the Walmart here.

[@meritaraleigh5920]

Don't forget about having oatmeal for those cold mornings. Warms up the body & healthy too !!

[@papajinx5231]

Use the gide lines in the middle of wall and it will pull it out so your shelf wont rub a hole in the fabric

[@katiegarrett822]

You can eat the pads of the cactus as well as the fruit. They are a little tricky to clean the stickers I cut them out. It tastes like green beans with a hint of Jalapeño

[@silby77]

I love that you guys work out even with living on the road! It is so important in life. Plus, I firmly believe, it not as much what you eat, (as long as it isn't McDonald's burgers every day) but how active you are!! And you guys are living proof!! Thanks for giving us an inside look at y'all's life!!

[@kathiearmstrong8202]

Glad to hear you're in the Texas Hill Country - you're right, there IS a lot to see! I hope you make it to Enchanted Rock close to Fredericksburg. It's the second largest granite dome on the planet. Enjoy!

[@pamelamikel7967]

If you're still there, do go to Fredericksburg!! Love me some Hill country. But then I'm a Texan. I'm near Fort Worth. If you're near, would love to buy you dinner!!!

[@maryobermite3073]

Oh my--my home town! As for HEB, yes, it is a super grocery store.

[@SimplytransparentwithDawn]

Heb ~ best grocery store in Texas. Welcome to my backyard 😍 Hill Country - Kerrville ❣️

[@weswalker1208]

Welcome to Texas if you like the beach there is free camping on the National Seashore. Just south of Corpus Christi literally minutes away from the edge of town. And we have an HEB Superstore like 20 minutes from there

[@cendyjohnson5437]

I so much enjoy yalls videos. Please stay warm

[@colorpages6910]

Hi cendy how are you, i wait you my channel

[@crazy8adventures553]

Thankful that ya'll escaped the tornadoes! Potential for bad weather in the next few days...ya'll need to head south!!!

[@hsutton13]

This was a great video! Nice to see the behind the scenes! Also, love your positive attitudes!

[@halffullmonty]

tractor supply on heater and HEB (Harry E Butts) is where it’s at for produce and Meats it’s the same as Central Markets I think. You can go online order and pick up and There are a few REIs. Most towns have farmers markets on weekends and I like Ignik heaters google it . And welcome to Texas

[@joen7609]

I don’t know where you are in Hill Country, but there is a Cabelas in Buda, just south of Austin, on I-35. You might be able to find side walls for your canopy there. Cabelas may be pricier than Walmart though. Years ago when I was working in the Rio Grande Valley area, Cabelas was my stopping point as I traveled between the Valley and Longview, TX.

[@leanneneuman2719]

Wow! Can't believe u r I the hill country! Just started watching, so I don't know where yet!

[@dianestevenson2630]

It's Texas, it is windy a lot and the weather changes quick. Glad to see you on the road and enjoying it again. Looks like you found another great spot. Enjoy your stay in Texas, the hill country is great.

[@riobravomultimedia4104]

Prickly pear! Tuna in Spanish. When they get dark and juicy they make great margaritas! You’ll never go wrong with HEB, best grocery ever. Especially if you find a fancy, well stocked one. Like in Fredericksburg, Tx….try Falfurrias butter, it’s made in south Texas, and is goooood. I cook a lot too…

[@hubertwhite9709]

Thank God you guys are okay. I thought you were in the mix of that Tornado. Take care.

[@christinahodges2615]

I'm watching this in August 2022. And i think you need more of these videos showing the stores and how you do them. It's absolutely fascinating!!!! 💯

[@kr03grunt]

Don't worry about the cold. It will be 80 tomorrow 😆 welcome to Texas....I live in San Marcos originally from North East Texas. I can't wait to start my truck/tent living at the end of March next year. There is a lot to see and do here in Texas Hill country. Enjoy and love the videos. A note for anyone looking. I spoke to a rv guy at a local dealer. They are going up 7% in January. I was going to by a camper but for the current prices and awful quality I'm saving for something later.

[@brandonfoster7400]

HEB is the best!! So many wonderful places to visit in the Hill Country. Enjoy guys!

[@cougmantx]

HEB...a Texas tradition. I love my HEB! 🙂

[@assocrec]

This dude has a great woman! Cooks great, smart, a planner and loves camping, best of all she is easy on the eyes! Some guys just get lucky 🤟✌️👊

[@kathybullmer8884]

When my husband and I were in Texas camping and visiting our new grandbaby, I went to a HEB. I enjoyed the store. Great video!

[@glendabranch563]

We have been watching you for about a year and always enjoy your videos. Since we live in Texas and the hill country is one of our favorite places, this one was of great interest! Your mention of HEB definitely got our attention because not only is it a great store it is a Texas tradition--and we live about 1/2 mile from an amazing one! Hope you enjoy your stay here and remember, in Texas the weather can change quickly from day to day--so far this winter has been more like spring so you should have some warm weather soon.

[@joeparker7508]

Yes that’s always helpful

[@erikabuentello9497]

Welcome to Texas! Got super excited that y'all went and enjoyed HEB! Loved this video! Have fun and be safe! 😊

[@teresafell2514]

Wishing you both a Merry Christmas 🤶🎄(Happy Holidays ) and a peaceful New year . 😊

[@butchie54]

It was terrible to see all your things stolen. You are slowly getting yourselves back to somewhat of normalcy and you will keep going forward. Hope the storms of late have not caused any injuries/loses for you. Be safe and healthy.😊😊😊😊

[@klouism1]

Thank you for the video. You make a nice camp.

[@jennifersmith9359]

I'm from Texas and recently moved to Oklahoma and boy oh boy how I miss HEB grocery stores!

[@wolfbisbing486]

Thank y’all for showing what it’s like in the Dome life ❤️

[@leehughes6211]

Love that campground. Stayed there in October. While I was there I went to nearby Enchanted Rock, which was one of my bucket list items. I'll be not too far away in the next few days - heading to Pedernales Falls State Park.

[@mischiefroadtripadventures]

Great video. I thought for a second you were being sarcastic about HEB! My daughter went to school in Austin and was so sad to come back to north Texas where we have no HEB yet. Enjoy the Hill Country! So many things to see and do out there!

[@mybasecampisuptownhighrent]

It’s great to see this side of your camping experience not just the adventure side, although, the whole camping experience is an adventure, hey?

[@nikobeewind2604]

H-E-B is awesome that’s where we get all of our groceries every week. They have a great curbside pick up that’s free so if you want to go online and do your order. And then just pick it up at the local H-E-B you don’t even have to go in the store

[@michaeloconnor8083]

I have camped there, great place. great video.

[@jgpainting8815]

Love that store!

[@karenhallrodriguez9205]

I love H.E.B. I live in North Central Texas near Ft Worth. I am glad you are getting your things back.

[@dove5272]

Welcome to Texas y’all! HEB is the best. Prickly pear is the fruit on the cactus and very delicious. In Terlingua, the Starlight Theatre has the best prickly pearitas (margaritas). In the Hispanic culture we also eat the cactus, called nopalitos. Very tasty and healthy for your digestion, hope you have the best Texas trip yet.

[@donna-n5h]

I enjoy A Day in the Life vlogs. So this camping property is like a hip camp. It's cool land owners with large properties open up some of the land to campers. I like this idea. Plenty of space for privacy. The HEB store looked like there was lots of fresh produce. Kellie, I like to cook too so I would like this store . Sometimes I have to go to two grocery stores per week to find the items I need. Your recipes for the week sound delicious. Thanks for showing us how you organize your camping life. Enjoy the hills of Texas!

[@susanetzel-adcock3038]

You are in my neck of the woods. I am in Marble Falls. Hope you have a great time here in the Hill Country. Try Lowes or Home Depot for the heater.

[@Stef2224]

Loved seeing this kind of stuff, please do more like this!

[@fishsammich123]

I totally admire your lifestyle. My wife loves this show, too.

[@billmccabe6188]

i know you have a ig camper truck now and i love your new videos with the camper but you really got you tent set up great too with your bat wing set up. you are both very inventive which is one of the reasons i e been watching you for at least 2 years. since before you sold your house.

[@royeubanks639]

HEB is one of the things we will miss the most once we've moved to Arkansas. We have really large one right down the street with free curbside service.

[@Whiplash1937]

guys,I’m sorry,just got to comment one more time.ur n Fredericksburg,yeaaaa.and yes HEB is a family owned business that started down in south TX.i think it mr Hubert Edward Butts started in a small country store and grew to where it is today.just ask any of the locals about the brewery.if u would like a nice evening of entertainment check of the rock box theater.u will not be disappointed.u can easily park ur vehicle/trailer on the side street.enjoy ur stay in TX.

[@lindahopson5003]

Good video. HEB are the best!!! Wish we had them up here in north Texas

[@maivjyk9327]

This is one of the nicest places you have camped. Open and peaceful. Not crowded with people or trees.

[@lindaancira2879]

Welcome to Texas. I love watching your chamnel and can't wait to make your pizza. I live in san Antonio about a hour frim the hill country!!!! Crazy weather here from one day to the next.

[@theUcane]

HEB is for the founder’s son’s name Howard E Butt. And it is the best grocery store in the world. We miss it hard now that we are in Denver.

[@whystayhome19]

Rhino Rack had the side panels on sale for $100 each a few weeks ago if you order direct from them. And yes... H.E.B. is a bomb-diggity grocery store. FYI, Wimberly is a cool little town.

[@charlottewilson6211]

HEB is our favorite! It was funny to hear...”we are going to this grocery store we have never been to called HEB” it ‘s a regular for us...

[@tomsergesketter5138]

Happy to see y'all back on the road. Be safe.

[@jimwisdom6638]

You were about 30 miles away from us in Burnet…must have been Oxford Campground and you will be at Enchanted Rock for the Thursday episode…one of our favorite places.

[@RVingwithLuck]

I love the Flybird work out bench. Ill be looking to get it soon. Your video was great.

[@scetchman12]

It is so wild to realize that not everyone knows about H.E.B. lol literally my favorite grocery store.

[@rocknrollfawn]

[@dannmars]

Have you considered putting a piece of reflective insulation sheeting between the cot and sleeping bag? It's like tinfoil bubble wrap. I think that may help a bit with the warmth when temps get too low. I'm assuming you're still sleeping on cots. Great to see you back out on the road.

[@papajinx5231]

Yall need to head to Quart site AZ

[@carolynhogan6816]

We are from Abilene. We were just in Fredericksburg last Thursday. But to answer that question about HEB It was started by Henry E. Butt. We have one here in Abilene, too! We call it “The Butt Store” I am going to the “Butt Store” our family knows that I am going to HEB! Y’all take care. Was your trailer ever found?

[@jrcriner6542]

Glad to see you guys got away from the storms. We had two tornadoes with a couple miles of us the other night

[@weswalker1208]

Saying hello to to you guys from Corpus Christi Texas noted as the home of HEB stands for Howard e butts. These days home offices is in San Antonio. When you get to Central and South Texas it is Walmart and HEB. Nobody can survive in their home turf

[@kellygreen8255]

[@tammyf8215]

So wonderful to see you both Happy and Back to your amazing camping, living. Love this video. Can't wait to get out my trailer ( 1968 12ft camper for Adventures in Spring. Love it. Cant wait for Kelly's Amazing cookbook. Ps. If you need a few really cool Grocery bags from a best friend of mine let me know. They are the size of a Tennis ball and Puff open to a great size. They have a draw string to close them. They are amazing. I can send you a few for free. Totally worth it. 🥰

[@moore_2_explore]

toothpaste, gnocchi, chicken....the stuff of life, LOL. We are recovering backpackers turned full time RV travelers and we can truly relate to frost on the tent in the am! We really enjoy your channel. I agree with the OP who recommended HEB there in TX. The hill country is amazing. Hope you got to check out the LBJ ranch and enchanted rock.Be well, stay warm!

[@overcomeinone8371]

Texas hill country one of the crown jewels of texas, the problem is there's really no free dispersed camping to speak of, that being said there are many state parks and privately owned campgrounds. Can't go wrong on the sabinal, frio, or nueces river valleys. God bless y'all.

[@donniemabry1470]

Hey Cody you need to put something around your tie rope so no one will trip over them I put a pool noodle they work great my kids don't trip over them now.

[@kareneudaley2635]

Hi, watch you guys often. Was wondering if you watched the my buddy heater video that showed a simple cleaning of one of the tunes and it kicked right off. Might work give it a watch. Stay safe.

[@SaltySouthernOutdoors]

Welcome to beautiful Texas 🙂

[@jessicamalloy5223]

The workout bench is pretty nifty! 🤩💪🏼
