I like how loving and patient Cody is when Kellie needs him. He is very reassuring.

[@heathermachala7623]

Seriously! He is the most sweetest guy!!

[@xerylemountain7154]

Yes!

[@debnelson5071]

Every time I watch your videos, I just settle in, relax and enjoy! I find your content is perfect for me: traveling, beautiful scenery, lovely filming, as well a drone-views, the music always adds perfectly to the feel, and the cooking! Don’t change a thing, you two. Your videos are “real” and charming! Well done!😊

[@CodyandKellie]

Wow, thank you!

[@lynnebunning7273]

Perfectly said cheers Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👋🏻

[@agnesskibicka]

​@@lynnebunning7273greetings from Poland and mindful life by Agnes 😀 (channel) and countryside 🏡🐕!

[@benjyandhollybass2942]

It’s the magnesium y’all… the animals can feel your calmness! 😃

[@LUPENS1]

Oh yeah Cody it's called "tether ball" down here in Texas. Lol

[@alexanderweaver7066]

Cody, you are a real Southern gentleman. Good man, too! Texas terrain diversity is amazing. I hiked Terlingua in the 80s. My favorite hikes and bass fishing was in the Hill Country. Enchanted Rock is an incredible hike and there's great history involving the rock. Kellie, you should have your own show on the Food Network! Great video, guys!

[@rockesark9689]

You need to make it to Guadalupe National Park next and climb the tallest peak in Texas, Guadalupe Peak. You'll need to let it warm up a bit though. I have to admit I"m a big jealous right now.

[@mowcowbell]

Guadalupe peak is a much easier hike. No real exposure anywhere along that trail.

[@dorisweems1510]

You guys are so brave, I'm so afraid of heights so watching y'all climbing makes me so nervous, and going back down, oh my wow. Be careful.

[@eightysixcommunism2827]

4:18 Every time I am that close to venison I cant help but say "Get in my freezer!! 😂"

[@wsmh20]

Up is always easier than down. I just can't scramble like that anymore. Thanks for taking us there. It's outside of my comfort zone to do those hikes now.

[@kaymccain1593]

Cody, you are just a sweetheart, and carrying a camera the whole way up.This trail and scenery was amazing. Kellie you are so brave doing that hike. Love you both!!!❤❤

[@vinylplayer7427]

18:57 there is no way I’d climb that thing. Kudos. You make it look easy.

[@randallwhitehead4456]

Wow that’s was a hike very impressive and y’all should have been tired but I love it .. I was just thinking of y’all and hope yall are fast asleep.. after that… yall have safe travels and have fun…❤one hart for Kelly 🕳️💙one for Cody.. ❤and 2 for your friend 💙💙 night night

[@TheRedneckprepper]

We called it tether ball ? awesome hike TY

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

Yes, and I'm gonna call it "poleball" now coz that sounds funnier🤣🐝

[@bob_wilcox]

Check out the evening light show from the Southwest Rim of the Chisos. Like the Marfa Lights. Mostly in the mountains in Mexico, but have seen them in the distance around Mule Ear Peaks after sunset. Definitely not vehicle lights! Mind blowing!

[@markj10]

Haha, total bears for the area is less than 40, so i giggle every time I see those bear boxes 😊. A very beautiful and remote part of the country, I’m amazed how many American’s don’t know that area exists!

[@mowcowbell]

The biggest issue is how remote it is. Not exactly near any population centers.

[@davecalkins4774]

Awesome rock scramble to the top of Emory Peak, huh! It’s a great hike, but Cody did misspeak at the top. Emory is not the tallest peak in Texas. In fact, it’s the 14th tallest peak. If you want to hike the 8k+ peaks in Texas, travel to Guadalupe Mountains National Park, as mentioned in previous comment. You can overnight at the Visitor Center parking lot.

[@CodyandKellie]

That’s just was google said

[@dianesilverstein6475]

Beautiful!! We love seeing mountains and desert in one view -- just gorgeous! Kelli, rock on!! You're amazing! Cody, your such a great support! Your filming gave me butterflies in my stomach! Don't look down! Love hangin' out with you!❤😊

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you so much!!

[@springtime3771]

That was RISKY!

[@dinabutler5797]

The last bit of that hike 😳! Kudos to you!

[@carladrollinger7637]

That is beautiful up there. What an adventure! My oldest son does guided Aoudad hunt at Candelaria Tx in the mountains. Hard to believe is beautiful down that way! What a view!

[@dinabutler5797]

Such amazing experiences y'all are having! Very dramatic views!

[@juliebolduc802]

Beautiful views! What a hike! Cody, we always called “pole ball” teather ball!! Have played it since the early 60’s. Last Christmas, we put one up on our property and sent one to our grandson in Hawaii. All the kids in the neighborhood stop by and play it!!

[@ursinidaho]

Yup, we played tetherball too in So Cal in the late 60s early 70s!! Great fun!

[@juliebolduc802]

@@ursinidaho yep! I lived in LA until 10 years old! That’s where I first played it.

[@veeemit9719]

We called it tether ball in the olden days 😉

[@suzanneb7372]

Y’all are awesome!! 😊 So enjoy your adventures!! What a life!! 😎

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks so much!!

[@mimihimes1989]

OMG!! My palms were sweaty and I had vertigo watching you guys climb that! Kudos to all of you for doing it!! I’m beyond afraid of heights so virtual is good enough for me 😂

[@jamesyantis9334]

Kellie is an outstandingly good cook! So I understand. Peace and prosperity to you both

[@om.stevediyandtravels8684]

we use to call that tetherball back in the early 50s when I was in school.

[@snowbirdlady7221]

Great hike! I admire you for doing 10 miles. That's a lot in my book. I would have bowed out on that last rock scramble though.....I'm glad you like that area and you finally found some nice weather. Looking forward to the next stop.

[@Steph_W]

After 4 pm and still a lot of daylight! We’re gaining light!!!

[@CodyandKellie]

Yes, so happy!

[@overcomeinone8371]

Glad you made it to the summit, those whitetail deer you saw are of the del carmen variety which are endemic to the big bend corridor, and are smaller than american whitetails, also a probably equally impressive view in the park is the south rim vista (in my mind), God bless your Texas travels.

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

You're so right - magnesium is used by 300 systems in the body - Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems throughout the body, meaning it’s necessary for many chemical reactions, such as those involved in creating protein, controlling blood sugar, regulating blood pressure, and allowing muscles and nerves to function.

[@user-hj6pc4qf6i]

Oh to be young and adventurous again! Kody you have to be the sweetest husband ever! Kelly I hope you realize how lucky you are. Big Ben stole my heart 3 years ago and only wish I could have enjoyed it when I was young. I’m enjoying every minute of your adventures. Please keep sharing your adventures.

[@bryanstaten5585]

We called that tetherball back in grade school but im 66 so that was yesterday! Hahaha

[@sonastorer-johnson7541]

Thanks so much for the views . I'm not able to see things Luke that anymore.my feels bad can't walk long times no longer. I was at all,l just beautiful. Thank you so much

[@CodyandKellie]

Sorry to hear that

[@bhaskarparam9711]

At night before I go to bed I drink a small small cup aloe vera juice

[@commonsense246]

Another greatest day Cody! LOL Good photo work Dude! Can't believe the deer are so people friendly. My daughter goes here to camp every year.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks 👍

[@kevincarscadden3330]

Breathtaking views….Wow…

[@teresap.5991]

Way to keep up with the boys Kellie 🎉🎉.That place reminds me of when we were driving through Arizona overlooking the painted desert.❤ Beautiful 😊. That blueberry breakfast looked sooo good 😋

[@micheleulrich-hb2ok]

WOW! What an amazing hike. The scenery is breathtaking, and the wildlife was so cool. You don't usually get to get that close. They sure didn't feel threatened. Thank you for sharing your life with us 😊.

[@sherrynorth1293]

Wow that's beautiful !! Glad you did it and not me I'm terrified of heights .

[@bhaskarparam9711]

You should see his reaction

[@peterdevries3651]

You guys need to go to Cerra Gordo California and see Brent from ghost town living

[@eightysixcommunism2827]

I am looking forward to the redwoods addition.

[@MICHELEDART]

Much better video, last one scarey. Good views

[@CodyandKellie]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@user-tj9kt5cs6d]

It amazing how beautiful it is out there,your footage is amazing that last part of the climb was a little spooky but the views were worth it I give that hike a 11. God bless y’all keep on trucking.

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you very much!

[@rickbuchanan5762]

I didn't know ya'll were mountain goats. Holy Moly.

[@bhaskarparam9711]

Once a month I used to eat potato tots Frozen ones less than a dollar now it's $3.75 now husband told me not to buy use our own potatoes to make

[@janishuey3639]

This was another outstanding video! I am so impressed by your videography, editing, and most importantly your relationship with each other. Then you sprinkle in a little more interest by adding a friend to the mix. Good job, guys! Who knew I could be enticed to visit Terlingua, Texas. Haha

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you so much!

[@bhaskarparam9711]

3 gallon can available at Walmart Supercenter aloe vera juice I think it's $10

[@martinhernandez6506]

Hi Cody, Kelly & Matt ! What a breath taking hike ! The deers, the bird & the views, great job capturing it all ! Tacos looked delicious ! Makes one wonder just how many times a D-Fib is needed for there to be one in site. Stay safe & keep smiling !

[@CodyandKellie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@graceverssen5651]

Really extra-enjoyed this one. What an epic hike! You guys rock. I was hoping that after all that effort climbing you would go out to dinner with Matt. Just thinking... Thanks again for another lovely video, you guys!!!

[@CodyandKellie]

We should have 😂

[@graceverssen5651]

🌸🌸

I like the park name Roadrunner

[@deanchambers5934]

Knocked it out of the park !! Great job!

Another thing that's good for your joints is using honey as a sugar substitute in your coffee.

[@toddramsay977]

I apologize for my last videos comment, I was just funning around. I have edited it. So it is not in-appropriate. Great video!

[@78twood]

Welp, y’all have outdone yourselves!! I think this was the most epic hike you’ve done 😎 The wildlife being so close, the mountains with the views! I can’t imagine being at the top and sitting there taking it all in 🥰 God bless Texas 🙏 AND Cody and Kellie 💜

[@THEBLACKANARCHIST]

I really want to say that I love your channel keep it up 👍💞💞

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you so much 😀

[@bileesterling-barto3178]

I would love to see you guys in Arizona! I work at the Goldfield Ghost town in Apache Junction, AZ we have a camp ground here too. You'd have a great time! :) Safe travels to you!

[@CodyandKellie]

We spend two months last winter in Arizona. We probably won’t be going that way right now.

[@terryshultz2344]

Cody, I would have played pole ball with you. We called it tatta ball back in the day. Loved that game.

[@brentwentfishing]

That climb to the peak was nuts man! You pointed the camera down near the ledge and the bottom of my stomach dropped out and I got vertigo and had to look away! All by myself, saying out loud, "eff that!" Kind of like a roller coaster effect! 🤢 Great shots though! 😎 You still got it, Cody! 👍

[@brentwentfishing]

Those deer have no fear of people! 🤠 Wait... my man from Arkansas has never played horseshoes? Uh, WHAT?! 😂It's Tetherball not Poleball...🤣 See Napoleon Dynamite.

[@OverlandOrange]

We stayed at the Painted Ladies in Terlingua and went into Boquilas Del Carmen, also. BB is the most underrated National Park.

[@jrags35]

WOW,, I don't think I would have made that last part of the scramble to the top good job guys.

[@bhaskarparam9711]

Wow Texas Beauty

[@punktexas]

This was like watching an episode of SUV RVing. Great video guys.

[@jstar1000]

Pole ball? growing up in the 70s we called it Tether ball.

[@bertkelly7650]

Can't believe how close you got to those deer!

[@dinabutler5797]

Nice shirt Cody!

[@amandamccoy1165]

Love that area I hiked the Window Trail. It was beautiful. Love your videos.

[@lynnebunning7273]

Just love your videos. Perfection. Cody you are such a gentleman always there for kellie. Helping encouraging. Scenery was brilliant. Another Best Day Ever. Cheers Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👋🏻💙💜👍🏻

[@CodyandKellie]

Thanks so much!

[@cozydownhome]

it's tetherball 24:23 i love that game. they removed all the fun stuff from playgrounds these dayz. back in my time.... we played with a ball on a pole hehe

[@bob_wilcox]

Awesome vid y’all! Big Bend is my favorite place on the planet.

[@CodyandKellie]

Us too!

[@amydelpiere9315]

I loved your squash taco idea - I would like to have ground meat in mine too but that sounds like it made a great addition to the grilled onion. Nothing like a hungry hiker to make simple food the best food! I loved our visit to the Chisos Mountains and am really enjoying visiting again through your videos. Safe travels.

[@jbooth6155]

Palm Springs, CA is nice this time of year. It has the indian canyons to explore and the Coachella valley has lots to see. Thanks for the video

[@jenniferfisher530]

My favorite kind of hike: challenging and epic. We've got lots of big peaks here in CA. Nice area where you're at in Texas. I've never heard of it referred to as pole ball. 😂 Makes sense. In my parts it's called tetherball.

[@philandthedash1682]

"You can see your product afterwards" laughed my butt off. Great video! With possibilities of a new Tshirt offering...

[@cheryltucker6589]

OK, you two, er.. 3; gotta admit y'all made my palms sweat a bit! But beauty cinematography! Thanks! ❤

[@CodyandKellie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ronwilson5906]

Great video as always, that game with a ball on a rope reminded me of when I was a child at camp, but they had a tennis ball at the end of the rope and we used ping pong paddles to knock it around, it was a great game and also built hand-eye coordination.

[@heathermachala7623]

Kellie you are seriously BADASS SISTA!!

[@CodyandKellie]

Thank you 😊

[@angelpie9530]

I never would have imagined Texas had so much beauty to offer, until I started following your channel.

[@mowcowbell]

I did the Emory Peak hike back in 2009. Got to that last section near the top and chickened out... too much exposure for my liking. But still a great hike!

[@azdesertrat9104]

Wow! Such epic views!! Just beautiful! And Cody it's so sweet how you look out for your Angel Princess coming down the hike 😊Every time I see a poll ball I immediately think of a small episode in the Napoleon Dynamite movie 😂 Such a great campsite! I love your vlogs! Keep 'em coming!

[@countrycreekclips4749]

Hello, I enjoyed the show, thanks,

[@CodyandKellie]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DW3555]

Awesome video ... Beautiful views. But that steep climb before you reached the top! I had to look away a couple of times ... though I'm sure some of it was camera angle.

[@CodyandKellie]

It was very steep

[@adeladahdah4418]

Omg I was so nervous watching y’all climb up ! Such a beautiful place though!

[@howeverthewindblows]

Ive never heard Tether Ball called Pole ball. 👍👍

[@cuz129]

We did that hike, but that last little part, we didn't get quite as high as you. We were in our mid sixties and it was just a little too iffy for us.

[@LadywolfT]

Loved this video. Cody, we called that Tether ball in the Ozarks where I grew up. I loved that game! Nice hike with great scenery!

[@outlandadventures]

Tether ball! I haven't seen one since grade school recess 😂

[@jujugypsyjourney3826]

Great hike!

[@user-fd7op5bl2z]

Great hike!!! Wonderful filming. You MUST do the tallest peak in Texas (we did a few years ago)--check out Guadalupe Peak. We see it every day from our home in Carlsbad NM. Sunsets are amazing!!!

[@CodyandKellie]

We want to do that hike

[@lrparrish227]

Amazing views!

Hey guys 👋 love your channel especially now that ur in a truck camper!! Im one of the other truck camper channels here on YT. You’ll probably ignore this comment 😆because normally I would ignore one like this too haha. But if you’re ever in AZ and down for it I’d love to meet you both!!

[@russripley8963]

Great shirt Cody. Season 4 this weekend. Just sayin’. Also, great video guys.

[@truckcampinglifemag]

This is definitely going on my to do list.

[@robertlockhart7632]

Now that you’ve climbed Emery Peak. You should drive over to the Guadalupe Mountains National Park and climb the highest peak in Texas, Guadalupe Peak. 927’ taller and better views.

[@CodyandKellie]

Yes we need to hike that

[@robertlockhart7632]

Arkansas is an awesome state to camp as well i often camp there as well. I enjoy watching the videos you two produce. Thank you

❤that scenery!

[@jimgriffin1560]

If you guys are looking for things to do in Texas, then don't forget about Central Texas! Come to Roundrock and see the actual round rock...sometimes you can still see wagon wheel ruts around it. You can try the best donuts in the world at Roundrock Donuts, hike the Goodwater Trail in Georgetown, and catch a baseball game at Dell Diamond....or go bat watching in Austin and find a good bar with live music.
