- Kayaking the Caddo River in the Ouachita mountains of Arkansas.
We encountered severe weather, a water moccasin (cottonmouth snake), explored new parts of the Ouachita National Forest, and kayaked the Caddo River.

Four things I love. watching your videos,kayaking,camping and my family
Thank you so much for your kinds words!
Gonna be there Monday!
Watching always makes me want to go back to Arkansas and camp. Hehe my only experience camping there was at Greers Ferry Lake.
Love your channel.
I have floated the caddo river myself, I love that river man! The swimming hole at Caddo gap, there are hot springs that bubble up under water there. Buddy that cottonmouth looked to be a BIG one!✌
Thanks for watching! Caddo is our new favorite!
Nice .....I love the Dome life show 😁
You will never forget camping in an Arkansas thunder storm!
That’s a true statement. Thanks for watching
Beautiful,thank you for showing us
Thank you for watching
wow! Love this! Great stuff guys!!!!
Great videos y'all have! I've never been kayaking before..need to try it..
You should!
Another great video you guys! Great location!
Another excellent journey! Beautiful places you go to for sure! Thanks for sharing! 🤙
Thanks for watching
Better to be safe than sorry, especially this year. We've already two tornadoes touch down up here around Jonesboro. Stay safe, ya'all!
Thanks for watching! We keep our eye on the weather.
Grew up in mt ida and Norman until I was twelve…if I’m not mistaken I know this library u r going to. Excited.
Yup I used to play around that library and got to the grocery store to rent video games….while swimming under the bridge. It’s awesome.
Enjoying some of your early videos
Le kayak c super génial en pleine descente que du bonheur
You guys have became my favorite camping TH-cam couple🤗
I’m glad I’ve found this channel, enjoying your guys videos
Thank you so much!
They (your videos) just keep getting better and better. Love the music at the front part of this video. Sounds like something from Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Beautiful scenery throughout the video and Arkansas itself. You've opened my eyes to another state to visit!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! I, too, am a creek walking fan! I need to visit your area! Our creeks tend to be very rocky, a lot with boulders...lol. I still go and it's beautiful, but where you are is so serene and gentle. 🤘
I just found your channel and watched this video first. I lived in the Hot Springs area for ten years, I never quit finding new wonders in the Ouachita's. I floated from Caddo Gap to Gleenwood several times in that ten years. As you are finding, the amazing parts of Arkansas are not in a tour guide or on some blog. Now I can't wait to see if you make it to the Fourche La Fave watershed lakes North of Hot Springs Village on AR Hwy 7, there are a ton of places I explored up that way.
Thank you so much for subscribing and watching! Your in luck... we have many vlogs from the Winona area. We love that area!!! Spend most of our time there from Jan-Apr due to Cody’s job.
You guys are awesome! I love your videos. As a girl from Arkansas myself, I love to see all this content that reminds me of home. Love to hear that Arkansas accent too! I would love you guys to do a kayak trip to the Buffalo River sometime if you can. Thanks for all the great footage and interaction with nature and clean ups. It's inspiring.
Thanks for watching! The Buffalo is on our list this year. Can’t wait!
Hello from SC. I started watching your channel because I am eager to give kayaking a try. Your channel is SO much more!
I have been watching two or three episodes each day for over a week now. Your passion for being outdoors is completely contagious.
As a child, i went camping frequently. It has been a long, long time since I got back to nature.
As a result of your videos i have already been tent camping (yes, bought the equipment). My fiance and i are going kayaking next weekend!
I am a total fan and am excited about camping, kayaking, and a combo of both. My fiance is totally onboard. She is a history and nature nerd like me.
Thank you SO much Kellie and Cody!!! Maybe one day our paddles will cross in a beautiful southern river!
Greg
Thank you for your kind words! We so happy we are encouraging people to get outside! Have fun this weekend! Make sure to go to your FB page and join our group “Dome Life - The World from a tent” and share your adventure with us there!!! Would love to see it.
We live in Bryant, AR and your channel was an easy subscribe!! Can’t wait to watch all your videos and get inspired to go out camping more!!
Thank you so much!
Dude those camping spots yall found were dope! I grew up near Jessieville, AR and I miss those hills. My cousin still lives just south of Oden, AR right near the Ouachita River. I’m gonna have to get back out there and do some exploring some time. Great video, new subscriber 💯👍
Epic early AM drone footage 👊🏼
Thank you!
Do more of these float videos. It was great!!
We hope to do more kayaking this summer.
after seeing the view from flatside pinnacle and camping albert pike when i was younger im all about some ouchitas! i really really wanna go to fork mtn my favorite lookin mountain from flatside pinnacle but the hike looks rough. the summertime swimming holes there look AMAZING
You guys are crazy. Lol. About camping.
Hey! That drone is killer!! I liked the viewz of Lake Ouachita! But itz really great yall are livn the adventure together.. Ive nevr went west past Hot Springz now i have a reazun.. Explore!! Keep up the awsum vidz!!
Thank you for all your kind words! Aww man you got to get out west of Hot Springs. It’s beautiful and there is so much diversity in land scape.
@@CodyandKellie def nxt wknd so much rain this one 🤷♂️
Every single time we float the Caddo, we tip and I get hurt... 😕 We go every Father's Day weekend. I try to be a good sport about it for my family and friends that love to go. We camp at the bridge in Glenwood and the shuttle takes us up about 6 miles to the river access. It seems like somewhere about 1/2 way you have to paddle to the right and there is a BIG "A" shaped rock that sticks out of the water. Either side is very narrow, the left side is shallow, but tricky and the right side is deeper but turns pretty sharp. Every year without fail, we get sideways on that rock. 🤦🏼♀️ And I would like to add that I totally felt Kelly's pain during the storm... I HATE camping in stormy weather! It gives me off-the-charts anxiety! This weekend we are headed up to the Flatside Wilderness in the Ouachitas near Lake Winona and camping along the Alum Fork of the Saline River. I really enjoy all of your videos! 😊
Hate to hear that. But is it still a good time?
@@CodyandKellie ALWAYS a GOOD TIME! 👍🏼
Just found your channel, great videography! Also, would love the California chicken recipe. :)
Thank you. Cookbook coming soon.
Thanks for picking up the trash! If we all pitch in, it can stay beautiful!! Thanks!
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
Goodtimes.🙂👍
Thanks for watching!
Another great video. As always, your photography is outstanding. And your tips for finding good campsites are very helpful. Beautiful. I especially.liked the footage of the storm and the moccasin. When was this trip? We did not have that beautiful weather here in north Alabama.
This was this past weekend! Thanks for watching!
I live less then an hour from there! It's a very beautiful place. I love seeing new people's reactions!
So much beauty in that area. Thanks for watching!
J
Do you have a video explaining how to find a good camping spot and things to consider?
Thanks yo y'all in heading to Arkansas this time and not TX or ok
Have a great time!
Man where are you guys from? I'm from searcy and yall have inspired me to try a solo island camp on Ouachita! Just randomly found you guys here on TH-cam and I'm obsessed!! Will be ordering a hat and some stickers soon
We’re from Texarkana and have made Little Rock our basecamp since 2014! Thanks for watching!
I met y’all while y’all were there on hickory mountain
Awesome little find! I love to find little nooks in the state of Arkansas and what you found is just what I like. I do like the PVC water tube idea on the top of your Hummer. Thats a great idea for primitive. I have the same stove that you guys have. What cast iron plate is on the top? As my comment on your other video entailed, I just camped out with several buddies at Caddo on Lucky's property. It was tucked in the woods right north of Glenwood! I could hear the river from my tent. So relaxing.
The cast iron is the lodge brand. We past that in the river it looked so nice! We would love to camp there sometime. Thanks for watching!
look for arrow heads!
It's so cool to see videos of y'all in the same areas we go! Y'all do a much better job of filming than we do. Would really like to know the location of the "Prarie " location. It's hard to camp around the Ouachita,after the made the recreational areas dayvuse only.
Thanks for watching! So that area is on the way to the Ouachita River day use area. There are many pull outs along that road.
hello from the rainy ozarks!! thanks for sharing ur memories!! what do you use to keeps ticks off u? tight lines and cheers!! I love kaykan the mulberry and buffalo too!
Thanks for watching! I don’t use anything for ticks right now but I did read that distilled water and tea tree oil works.
My sister lives in a small town in the Ouachita National Forest. Actually 10 minutes from Norman.
Thanks for watching!
It looks like vertical lines underneath the mouth lining of the snake and in that case its a banded watersnake not a moccasin. Just a future tip.
I would love to meet you guys you are very special I have never been able to get down there and go out it looks like there's a whole lot of special places there
There sure is. And thank you so much for watching! If you would like to meet up, come to our next cleanup event Jun 13th. Here is a link on our Facebook page with all the details
facebook.com/events/s/beaver-lake-clean-up/261690385192692/?ti=icl
Great channel. What advise for me. Camp in campground but want to go off grid. What should I start out with first. Thanks
Kellie’s first experience was off grid so I think you can start there. Take a day driving threw your NF and you will find something I’m sure. Google maps helps
Did the tent get wet inside? Did you guys waterproof it after buying it? Love your videos keep them coming ,thank you.
Also when threatened a moccasin will open its mouth and the inside will be really white, hence the name cottonmouth.
where is this put in and take out located. Really like yall's videos and have started driving up from Houston to explore Ouachita and the ozarks
That can be a long drive. How many hours is that for yall? This put is 34.399723, -93.620566 and the take out as at Lucky's Canoe Rental. goo.gl/maps/xc99ANHdUt8zKwn28
What type of filming equipment do you use?
Was this float recent? Wondering because of all restrictions with COVID and to see that many ppl out. Then again, every damn FS road I'm trying to scope out has ppl everywhere. Great minds? Quarantine? Whatever it takes. I respect their adventure, as well. I'm just on the front lines everyday at work...I need to find my outdoor space again.
This was this past weekend. We did not expect the boat rental places to be open. Thank you for working on the front lines. I myself am a dental assistant and I will be out there soon. I think everyone is trying to get outside. There going stir crazy. Thanks for watching!
Caddo is on my list to float! Tried a couple weeks ago, but the water level was too low.
You should! Yeah it is this time of year, but it will be no time before its up and running again.
What brand/size kayaks are you guys using? Do they track well ? Slowing but surely getting through all of your videos, thanks for sharing!
here is a link to the brand we have, but the boat design has changed. amzn.to/2CCPDQ5
We love these boats. They track very well. Thank you for watching!
Cody, I am super interested in locating local camp areas similar to those you locate. Can you give some research advice? Are they all in National Forest areas? Would you consider making a tutorial video about locating camp sites/areas? Also, are you and Kellie members of an organization that does area clean-ups? I want to see about helping here in SC.
Sure thing! We use google earth and maps to find an area of interest. Then we will US Forestry Service map to determine if that property is privately or publicly owned. Here is the link to the US Forestry Service
www.fs.fed.us/ivm/index.html
We will make sure to do. A tutorial in the near future. As of right now we are a little booked up. But once we have some free time we will get right on it.
No sir we are not apart of an organization. Our company Dome Life is the host of the clean-ups we do. We use a portion of the proceeds from our clothing sales to buy supplies and food for our events. Maybe we could talk more about so thing in SC if you are interested. Please feel free to email us at coden5433@gmail.com
Do you have a link for the cast iron griddle on your camp stove?
Sure! www.walmart.com/ip/Lodge-Pre-Seasoned-Cast-Iron-Reversible-Grill-Griddle-LDP3/15215006.
How did your tent hold up in the rain? I have the same tent but have never used it in the rain. Thanks
Our tent holds up very well in rain and wind. Thanks for watching!
What weather app did you use please?
Weather channel for the radar map and accuweather for daily and hourly
yall may have already answered this somwhere but i have been wanting to go camping but thought everything was closed how can i get around this
Thanks for watching! We are primitive camping. National Forest are not closed.
I have a cabin on the Caddo in Glenwood
Your so lucky! We plan to buy some land in the Glenwood/Norman area and retire there one day.
Is y’all’s there 3-person or 6- person tent?
6 person
What kind of shoes are those your wearing?
In the boat we were wearing Chaco’s
Norman Arkansas was called Womble before it became Norman.
What is the best kayak rental place for this area?
These guys did a great job caddocanoeandkayak.com/
DOME LIFE thank you!
Our water snakes and cottonmouths will chase you here in Texas. We carry bb guns when we kayak just in case.
That’s scary! Thanks for watching!
