One of my favorite things about your videos (besides the amazing content) is that you pick up trash along the way. My childhood was spent walking the sides of the highways in SE Missouri picking up trash with my Grandpa, so it's very near and dear to my heart. Love the channel!
My husband and I really enjoy your videos. We were at Albert Pike Recreation Area September 25th and truly enjoyed it. Had a picnic and fly fished. We thank you for introducing us to the Ouachita National Forest.
I love that you guys are always picking up the trash that other people leave behind due to their laziness or just plain lack of caring for our great outdoors... I always try to do the same whenever needed.... I do alot of backpacking into high mountain lakes for fishing and overnighters and i will bring an extra trash bag with me just in case someone left a mess... I will never understand the mentality of some people.... dont ruin it for everyone else... just makes me wonder what kind of mess the leave in their back yard lol.... keep up the great work and great videos.... Respect from Oregon...
We do the same as it is beyond me people go to pristine spots and are careless and apathetic leaving behind their rubbish. . Thank you for being one of the good ones. Met these two in Louisiana last year. They are genuine and humble. It was a treat and I enjoy watching their submissions.
Thank you for clearing that up about Albert Pike. I camped there as a kid and wanted to go back with my on kid but just recently learned of the tragedy that occurred there. I didn’t know why thy hadn’t reopened but now it makes sense.
Thank you for leaving all of your info and links. You're so dedicated. And it's appreciated. Good job Cody on your yoga!!! I had to laugh a bit cause it was cute. 😜 So glad you sold your house and are living your dream. Awesome! And of course kudos to Kellie's cooking as usual. Love it!💚✅
Love watching all your videos 😎thanks for reminding people to clean up their campsite! And its always good to see Jonathan drop in for the 🎈party! Thank you Cody and Kelly 💖
Hey i can't believe Kelly EVER couldn't cook GOOD. Lol. Good job guys i always clean my campsite and anywhere around my camp. Love to see you guys doing that. Peace ✌
You two are very good people. No one picks up trash. I respect your ability to tent camp in the summer in the heat and humidity of Arkansas. I tent camped at Albert Pike some 20 odd years ago during the labor day weekend and thought I would die of heat stroke and bug bites. We now own an RV and have given up tent camping but love watching ya'll camp. Looks like you have a lot of fun.
Good evening Cody & Kellie, oops I watched the 2nd part 1st. Sorry to hear about the tragedy ! Nature is very beautiful, but like every living thing. It also has its ugly side ! Both are lovely spots ! Awesome content, keep smiling !
Again, absolutely beautiful drone footage! I love that you both are “teaching” about camping in your videos along with showcasing the areas involved. We always clean up trash along trails and at campsites too...one thought- get yourselves some ‘garbage pickers’! They help to get to hard to reach places and will save your hands from ???? and from possible cuts. Thanks for all you do!
You are definitely 2 of my favorite people!!! I will from now on dedicate time while camping or visiting a camping location to do a trash pick up. I really enjoy this video and I’ll catch y’all on the next one!
you guys should have 200,000 subscribers! Binge watching, subscribed, thumbs up and watch the commercials.. love you guys .. the thrill of the chill is your funniest video yet.. I am going to mention that in every comment :)
I love seeing you all camping. I enjoy it. Lost my sister 3 years ago an haven't been camping since. Just do not feel it safe being solo. Kelly enjoy watching you cook. Blessings to you both. Merry Christmas to you.
Knowing knots and outdoors surely goes hand-in-hand. I certainly need a book as well. She really said, "A knot book. Heh!" LOL. She killed me with that. Take care.
I always get a weird feeling driving through Albert Pike. I had to turn around on Eagle Rock once due to rising waters, the first crossing past the falls. Rained all evening and night into the next morning. Walked backed to the picnic area preparing to make the long journey back by forest roads. Luckily someone pulled up and gave me a ride back to my vehicle parked at Albert Pike. Those drone shots of the creek look awesome! Never understood people who leave trash. You’re going out there to enjoy the wilderness why do you want to trash it out?! Good on y'all for cleaning things up. My dad always taught me to leave a campsite in better condition than you found it.
I recall that flood very well, I had just moved to Missouri right before that flood, it was truly a tragic event. I still return to the area every couple of years to visit family and such. I have been through that area to many times to count....
Hey guys love that area, I'm 56 and my grandfather had a cabin when I was a kid we took a left behind the iron gate just before Lowrey"s store there at Albert Pike. Back then, they used to stock the river with trout, we would catch them with whole kernel corn out of the can. We heard about the flood, it was devastating.... I have been back once since the flood and all the sites and bathrooms were all closed... It's sad. Always enjoy you videos!!
Hi Guys, loved the video. I'm an avid kayaker and can't believe how much trash people dump in our rivers and oceans. So much that a couple of years ago I purchased one of those mechanical hand gadgets the help you pick-up garbage from about 3-4 feet away. I take it with me on every kayak trip along with a small trash bag. Typically I come back with a 1/3 full bag but sometimes it's about half full. I don't understand people and their nasty habits. Good job!
Thank you so much for watching! It is shocking sometimes that people do this. We cant figure out what their mind set is like to not be bothered by it. Thank you for doing your part to pick up!
My kids and I have so many wonderful memories at Albert Pike. Watching your videos has really inspired me to do some dispersed camping around there. Thanks for creating such an informative and entertaining video. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Love your videos, always a great mix of the best things about camping...adventure, discovery, chilling, stewardship, cooking, eating, and the occasional adult beverage...not necessarily in that order :) My husband and I are headed to Arkansas next week and we will definitely be visiting some of the places you go in your videos.
I really love the places you camp, the water is so beautiful and love the critters it welcomes. It reminds me of my hometown that is full of gorges but the hikes are short. It always bothers me to find litter so I will start bringing bags to clean up. I'm in upstate NY but I hope to someday camp the areas you visit
Over around De Witt and and surrounding area, them buffalo gnats are so bad during the late spring,you can hardly go out side. They drive the deer crazy! But on the lighter side, the otter family are a really a site to see. Hiking the trails and such really let's you see nature at its finest. You can discover things never seen. Y'all stay cool and hydrated out there.✌
Thanks for picking up the trash and respecting nature. You know there are people who like to go have a good time but then just leave their trash all over the place. I guess because I was taught to leave something the way I found it (if it's clean) then I clean up my mess. I just don't understand some people. Anyway I used to clean up in my neighborhood where trash was all over the place. After we got trash containers from the city it's not as bad.
Great video guys...Kelly is an amazing outdoor chef....wish more people were responsible stewards of the outdoors like you guys....its going to take everybody pitching in to keep America beautiful....thanks for sharing !!
love your channel and love it even more because y'all always clean up in addition to packing it out! making the outdoors better than you found it - everyone should abide by that principle.
Love yalls videos I always make a point to pack an extra garbage bag on my backpacking/kayak/swimming hole trips and pick up trash left by others. I live in upstate NY and the Adirondacks and Catskills are my backyard around here.. unfortunately littering has become such a problem and I fear that if we don’t all pitch in to help this issue they will someday close the beautiful state parks or start charging to explore the land here- love the message you’re spreading! Wish I could come to the clean up! Love from NY ❤️
Thank you for watching and for doing your part! We can't wait to visit update NY in the Adirondacks and Catskills area! Maybe one day you can come visit Arkansas. It is a pretty cool state.
Y’all would LOOOVEE Peekamoose Blue Hole in the Catskills! (def worth a second to google it!) It’s a swimming hole off one of the main roads and there’s an intense hike if you’re up for that too! This area has been soooo over populated with tourists the littering has been so bad even making the news :( if you ever come up this way I’d love to clean up some trash with y’all!!
Also have you ever went to little Missouri falls and go back behind the big rock. Has the big green hole pool behind it. Crystal green clear water. To this day I have never been able to swim to the bottom. I don't know how deep it is but I've tried a dozen times or more to make it. BEAUTIFUL swimming hole. Peace ✌
That is a beautiful place with some rugged (and skinny) roads. I remember when that flood happened at Little Missouri Falls. I was there a couple weeks before it happened. Truly tragic. Ozark streams are so special, I'm headed to the Jacks Fork River next weekend. Can't wait to swim and snorkel that gin clear water! Looks like your sub count has really started to grow. Grats to your well-earned success.
Great video. Glad you showed the bridge. I've been wanting to see it and didn't have time when we were there last. The brier creek rd had been closed for years and the long creek no longer went all the way through. Now it's even shorter. Great for backpack camping, but a lot less spots for car camping. Wish they'd open both those roads back up for off road use at least just for a little more access.
Albert Pike is one of my favorite places to ride, camp, and explore! I was just there for a few days last week. It's nice to have a place where the water seems to always be flowing and is nice and cool this time of year. Cheers!
Another great video. We plan on checking out a lot of the areas that you all make videos about. We live in NWA so we are almost neighbors. Keep up the great work. Also thanks for picking up the trash. karma is a thing and you are earning lots! Have a great week!
Great vid!! There are some great places around the bend as well over near Mena’s shady lake area!! We cleaned quite a bit a couple of weekends back.. then a storm altered our plan around midnight lol! Keep up the good work y’all
howdy fromy the sunny ozarks!! any oak mites there,ticks,chiggers or knats? you all look undisturberd from those critters. any plans on rebuilding the bridge or other access to that great cool camping area? tight lines and cheers!
We did have a gnat problem, but used shea butter and vanilla extract and did not have a problem after. We dont know about the bridge situation, but plan to call and ask this week. Thank you for watching.
Tell you something that really works on trees that have holes ,cuts etc. from whatever reason. Roofing tar..... fill in the cut in the tree with the tar and smooth it so it flows with the tree and will not hold water.Works everytime , well for me it has. I filled in where a 8 inch limb had broke off a beech tree and the tree just naturally grew right over the wounded area. What the tar does is keep water, insects etc.from destroying the tree. Try it....you'll like it !
This is one of our favorite Arkansas places to go. The Albert Pike campground is a very eerie place to be. When we visited for the first time many years ago, I couldn't figure out why the campground was closed. After looking it up on the internet, I found out about the flood that killed so many people, it was heartbreaking. Enjoy and stay safe!
Cody, Those are the most versatile shorts I've ever seen. They are perfect for camping, hiking, swimming, and kayaking. Wet or dry, they seem to get the job done for you. Any chance you will be adding such items to your merchandise? Otherwise, can you tell me where to look for some like those?
DOME LIFE if you go back that way soon you can see the devastation at the winding stairs trail head parking lot. It happened the weekend before I went in May
Awesome lol I thought kelly was going to beat you again on saying , CATCH YOU ON THE OTHER, lol so cute when she said it lol , god bless guys, mmmmmm by the way who’s that kid lol
DOME LIFE OMG , i just knew it lol , I definitely see the resemblance, I just didn’t want to say anything lol but I knew it lol , thanks cody take care , cant wait till the next video , CATCH YOU ON THE OTHER, lol , mmmmmmm im thinking stickers and shirts , hats with that frase , 👍👍👍👍they’ll look good on your shirts
As always, another great video!! I've been meaning to ask...do you guys run into many snakes, like rattlesnakes and moccasins? I live in Southwest Florida, so of course we have a lot. You guys aren't that far away in Arkansas.
We might see one on average every weekend. Mostly we she common water snake which is non venomous www.google.com/search?q=arkansas+common+water+snake&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS819US819&sxsrf=ALeKk02FDieGm0WKVJAP3nvMr9w-CEyQ_Q:1595974471792&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=Q8dZa8unXXGNeM%252CTLeQyN4Gu3i4AM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kS0mvD9vHWANUe1F49bpCpj1fYkxg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjjuNib_PDqAhURLKwKHXVGApMQ_h0wAXoECAwQBA&biw=1600&bih=708#imgrc=Q8dZa8unXXGNeM
Just outside of Ft Smith and really enjoy your Arkansas adventures...was wondering what type of drone you use...the video from it is so awesome ... thx and be safe.
How do y'all find these great spots? We've driven around the national Forest in Oklahoma and Arkansas and only find overgrown spots with no pretty water areas.
Cody spends hours on the NF maps website, and google maps looking for possible areas. Then we drive and scout out every area he found. We find more areas like you have described above than ones we find like in this video. It is a time consuming process, but when you find a good spot, the payoff is worth it!
Where do yall dump the trash after pickups? my group had to wait until we got to Highway 70 to dump 5 bags of trash 4 of which were pickup. They really need more dump stations or maybe even bear proof trashcans every few miles down the mountain roads, seems like this place gets little attention by the forest service and it's left to volunteers and the public to clean up after the irresponsible grown children who frequent the area, It also seems overrun with OHVs now riding through the mountain roads blasting country music at 1 am :( def not what it was like 10 years ago when I was in my 20s and love to spend my weekends there, much of the charm of the place seems to be dwindling.
Depending on the type of clean-up we do. If we are just picking up a couple of trash bags, we will take home, But if we are hosting a clean-up, we will contact the people in-charge (city parks, US Forest Service, Ect) of the land and ask if they can pick up the trash if we place in a area for them. We have had one encounter with the music that late and agree. But we hope to keep trying to protect the area the best we can.
We are headed to the Ouachita this weekend as a couple and I'm wondering how y'all find all these places? Do you guys call first or do you just head up there and pay and then find your own spot or do you have to reserve?
Hope y'all have a blast. We just head out and find a spot. This is all National Forest. There is no place to check in like with National Parks, or Rec areas. You just drive down dirt roads until you find a spot that has a fire ring.
Just realized we were wrong. It was the Trader Joe's Everyday Seasoning. We could not find it on their website, but found a ebay link to some www.ebay.com/i/174141726468?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=174141726468&targetid=917185845248&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9025857&poi=&campaignid=10456153837&mkgroupid=100467642181&rlsatarget=pla-917185845248&abcId=2146000&merchantid=119030279&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgo_5BRDuARIsADDEntS3dMKho3Qp3UtjjqQDcNYdgtaE2xy2B2gW_RhlKP6dtTiMDyN1QLUaAgamEALw_wcB
Have y’all ever tried a Thermacell? I don’t know how they work for biting gnats but they work shockingly well for mosquitos. They have a new one that hooks up to a 10.00 Walmart butane canister and lasts for many days of continuous use. The older style little butane cartridges can be refilled cheaply as well. We use our all the time. www.amazon.com/Thermacell-Backpacker-Water-Resistant-Repellent-DEET-Free/dp/B08B6CR9L1
Nice bikini,you’ll are lucky to have that mush forest to camp in the Close to your house.we have to travel 3hours,,and I think people are living in your national forest,
One of my favorite things about your videos (besides the amazing content) is that you pick up trash along the way. My childhood was spent walking the sides of the highways in SE Missouri picking up trash with my Grandpa, so it's very near and dear to my heart. Love the channel!
Thank you!
It's so sad that you have to tell people to clean up after themselves! So cool that you guys pick up other peoples stuff!!! Big fan.
My husband and I really enjoy your videos. We were at Albert Pike Recreation Area September 25th and truly enjoyed it. Had a picnic and fly fished. We thank you for introducing us to the Ouachita National Forest.
Love that area! We are happy you had a great time.
I love that you guys are always picking up the trash that other people leave behind due to their laziness or just plain lack of caring for our great outdoors... I always try to do the same whenever needed.... I do alot of backpacking into high mountain lakes for fishing and overnighters and i will bring an extra trash bag with me just in case someone left a mess... I will never understand the mentality of some people.... dont ruin it for everyone else... just makes me wonder what kind of mess the leave in their back yard lol.... keep up the great work and great videos.... Respect from Oregon...
Thank you and thank you for doing this same!
We do the same as it is beyond me people go to pristine spots and are careless and apathetic leaving behind their rubbish. . Thank you for being one of the good ones. Met these two in Louisiana last year. They are genuine and humble. It was a treat and I enjoy watching their submissions.
She said "...a knot book". 🤣 Thanks
LOL yeah we busted out laughing when we were editing that section.
The gurl is the Star of this show..lol...she Always make me hungry...great video...peace💜🤴
Thank you 😊
Thank you for clearing that up about Albert Pike. I camped there as a kid and wanted to go back with my on kid but just recently learned of the tragedy that occurred there. I didn’t know why thy hadn’t reopened but now it makes sense.

Thank you for helping with the trash the litter bugs leave behind.
Your welcome. We try.
Love watching all your videos 😎thanks for reminding people to clean up their campsite! And its always good to see Jonathan drop in for the 🎈party! Thank you Cody and Kelly 💖
Hey i can't believe Kelly EVER couldn't cook GOOD. Lol. Good job guys i always clean my campsite and anywhere around my camp. Love to see you guys doing that. Peace ✌
It took a few years for her to get cooking down. Thanks for your efforts
Thank you. We always do clean ups when we camp.
I am always amazed at the beautiful scenery in Arkansas.
You two are very good people. No one picks up trash. I respect your ability to tent camp in the summer in the heat and humidity of Arkansas.

Thank you so much for all your kind words, and for also cleaning up! We were just talking about garbage pickers on the way home.
Arkansas is truly an oasis! Thanks for guiding us a trip or two! ✨✨✨
Always leave it cleaner than you find it! Good for you.
Always!
Thanks for cleaning up behind others. Always take out what you take in is what I learned too.
You are definitely 2 of my favorite people!!! I will from now on dedicate time while camping or visiting a camping location to do a trash pick up. I really enjoy this video and I’ll catch y’all on the next one!
Thank you so much! That would be awesome! Every little bit helps! Catch you on the other!!!
Led scouts with my son's group for years. Leave no trace. Nice clean up guys, you all are the best.
That is awesome! Thank you for watching!
Hands down my favorite video that y’all have done to date. Excellent, excellent content. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yay! Thank you so much!
you guys should have 200,000 subscribers! Binge watching, subscribed,
thumbs up and watch the commercials.. love you guys .. the thrill of the

I love seeing you all camping. I enjoy it. Lost my sister 3 years ago an haven't been camping since. Just do not feel it safe being solo. Kelly enjoy watching you cook. Blessings to you both. Merry Christmas to you.

Great PSA camp at you own risk. Always be aware of the weather. My kinda campers. Packing out the trash. Sad we have to do it. Stewards of the forest.
We agree on the PSA. Hopefully we can inspire more people do the same through our actions.
It's great that you guys clean up but GLOVES!
Love yalls content so much and the clean ups!
Thanks so much
Over around De Witt and and surrounding area, them buffalo gnats are so bad during the late spring,you can hardly go out side. They drive the deer crazy!

Awesome......again! 🤙
Awesome video....
Thank you!
Just left there yesterday morning! Been going for years, awesome place. Enjoy Yalls videos, good footage!
Awesome! Thank you!
Also have you ever went to little Missouri falls and go back behind the big rock. Has the big green hole pool behind it. Crystal green clear water. To this day I have never been able to swim to the bottom. I don't know how deep it is but I've tried a dozen times or more to make it. BEAUTIFUL swimming hole. Peace ✌
No we have not even heard of that spot. Been to the falls several time though
That is a beautiful place with some rugged (and skinny) roads. I remember when that flood happened at Little Missouri Falls. I was there a couple weeks before it happened. Truly tragic.
Ozark streams are so special, I'm headed to the Jacks Fork River next weekend. Can't wait to swim and snorkel that gin clear water!
Looks like your sub count has really started to grow. Grats to your well-earned success.
It truly was tragic. Hope you have a blast next weekend! Thank you!
I remember when that happened, was heart breaking!! Always a good reminder to check weather!!
So ture.
Great video. Glad you showed the bridge. I've been wanting to see it and didn't have time when we were there last. The brier creek rd had been closed for years and the long creek no longer went all the way through. Now it's even shorter. Great for backpack camping, but a lot less spots for car camping. Wish they'd open both those roads back up for off road use at least just for a little more access.
Glad you enjoyed it! It does knock down on the number of car camping spots for sure.
Albert Pike is one of my favorite places to ride, camp, and explore! I was just there for a few days last week. It's nice to have a place where the water seems to always be flowing and is nice and cool this time of year. Cheers!
It really is!
John John almost went down lol Right when you said the bridge fell haha
Lol. He trips over stuff alot.
Wow super ❤️😍👍
Great upload! That area was devastated by those floods. Use to be pieces of houses & cars there before it got cleaned up.
Thank you for watching! That was a sad event.
I really enjoyed that area too when I was there, we went multiple times hiking there on day trips. Nice video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love the content you guys put out. Definitely feels like you all are building a community.
Thank you!
Love your videos Thanks for sharing your adventures with us
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Couple goals this. Nice 1 guys.
Thank you
Another great video! Looking forward to my first camping trip to Arkansas! Great photography!
Thank you! Your going to have a blast!
Another great video. We plan on checking out a lot of the areas that you all make videos about. We live in NWA so we are almost neighbors. Keep up the great work. Also thanks for picking up the trash. karma is a thing and you are earning lots! Have a great week!
Thank you so much for watching neighbor!
I hope to join in on the September 12th cleanup. Enjoying your videos.
We hope to see you there!

We did have a gnat problem, but used shea butter and vanilla extract and did not have a problem after. We dont know about the bridge situation, but plan to call and ask this week. Thank you for watching.
Great video! What cooking oil are you using that comes in that center cap can?
Thank you! The brand is La Tourangelle Grapeseed Oil. Here is a link. amzn.to/3hShxXi
Tell you something that really works on trees that have holes ,cuts etc. from whatever reason. Roofing tar..... fill in the cut in the tree with the tar and smooth it so it flows with the tree and will not hold water.Works everytime , well for me it has. I filled in where a 8 inch limb had broke off a beech tree and the tree just naturally grew right over the wounded area. What the tar does is keep water, insects etc.from destroying the tree. Try it....you'll like it !
Great information. Thank you
@@CodyandKellie Hope it works for you and you are welcome.
This is one of our favorite Arkansas places to go. The Albert Pike campground is a very eerie place to be. When we visited for the first time many years ago, I couldn't figure out why the campground was closed. After looking it up on the internet, I found out about the flood that killed so many people, it was heartbreaking. Enjoy and stay safe!
Thank you for watching. Yes it was a sad event.
Cody, Those are the most versatile shorts I've ever seen. They are perfect for camping, hiking, swimming, and kayaking. Wet or dry, they seem to get the job done for you. Any chance you will be adding such items to your merchandise? Otherwise, can you tell me where to look for some like those?
Theses shorts are from Academy. Magellan Outdoors. Thanks for watching!
@@CodyandKellie Got it! Thank you! They should sponsor you buddy!
Avon Skin so
Soft is a bath oil and also a mosquito repellant, works great ive used it for years
Its unfortunate that the trash throwers probably dont watch your awesome videos.
Hopefully they will see this one some day.
The weather is always unpredictable at pike. There was a tornado at the winding stairs trail head this year
That is crazy! Would have not expected that in a area like that.
DOME LIFE if you go back that way soon you can see the devastation at the winding stairs trail head parking lot. It happened the weekend before I went in May
Awesome lol I thought kelly was going to beat you again on saying , CATCH YOU ON THE OTHER, lol so cute when she said it lol , god bless guys, mmmmmm by the way who’s that kid lol
😁She got me for sure lol. God bless you as well. That is Kellie's brother.
DOME LIFE OMG , i just knew it lol , I definitely see the resemblance, I just didn’t want to say anything lol but I knew it lol , thanks cody take care , cant wait till the next video , CATCH YOU ON THE OTHER, lol , mmmmmmm im thinking stickers and shirts , hats with that frase , 👍👍👍👍they’ll look good on your shirts
You guys ever go down to shady lake area. Peace ✌
No not yet
As always, another great video!! I've been meaning to ask...do you guys run into many snakes, like rattlesnakes and moccasins? I live in Southwest Florida, so of course we have a lot. You guys aren't that far away in Arkansas.
We might see one on average every weekend. Mostly we she common water snake which is non venomous www.google.com/search?q=arkansas+common+water+snake&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS819US819&sxsrf=ALeKk02FDieGm0WKVJAP3nvMr9w-CEyQ_Q:1595974471792&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=Q8dZa8unXXGNeM%252CTLeQyN4Gu3i4AM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kS0mvD9vHWANUe1F49bpCpj1fYkxg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjjuNib_PDqAhURLKwKHXVGApMQ_h0wAXoECAwQBA&biw=1600&bih=708#imgrc=Q8dZa8unXXGNeM

Thank you!
@@CodyandKellie
Thank you for the fabulous content you have been posting.
I’m going to Albert pike tomorrow. Any suggestions on where to camp?
Anything is great! Good luck finding a spot
It was completely empty I ended up staying on long creek
Yeah my niece lost her life at Albert pike when it flooded back in 2010
So sorry to hear that. That’s terrible
Sweet ☺️
❤️&✌️
Thank you
Just outside of Ft Smith and really enjoy your Arkansas adventures...was wondering what type of drone you use...the video from it is so awesome ... thx and be safe.
Thank you for watching! We use a DJI Mavic 2 Pro amzn.to/2EtI8vq
How do y'all find these great spots? We've driven around the national Forest in Oklahoma and Arkansas and only find overgrown spots with no pretty water areas.
Cody spends hours on the NF maps website, and google maps looking for possible areas. Then we drive and scout out every area he found. We find more areas like you have described above than ones we find like in this video. It is a time consuming process, but when you find a good spot, the payoff is worth it!
Where do yall dump the trash after pickups? my group had to wait until we got to Highway 70 to dump 5 bags of trash 4 of which were pickup. They really need more dump stations or maybe even bear proof trashcans every few miles down the mountain roads, seems like this place gets little attention by the forest service and it's left to volunteers and the public to clean up after the irresponsible grown children who frequent the area, It also seems overrun with OHVs now riding through the mountain roads blasting country music at 1 am :( def not what it was like 10 years ago when I was in my 20s and love to spend my weekends there, much of the charm of the place seems to be dwindling.
Depending on the type of clean-up we do. If we are just picking up a couple of trash bags, we will take home, But if we are hosting a clean-up, we will contact the people in-charge (city parks, US Forest Service, Ect) of the land and ask if they can pick up the trash if we place in a area for them. We have had one encounter with the music that late and agree. But we hope to keep trying to protect the area the best we can.
could you talk about how to choose a camp ground safe please?
sure thing! Will make sure to cover that in a upcoming vlog.
Paysage grandiose splendide magnifique
What community near Albert Pike did you grow up in?
We are headed to the Ouachita this weekend as a couple and I'm wondering how y'all find all these places? Do you guys call first or do you just head up there and pay and then find your own spot or do you have to reserve?
We will definitely help pick up trash! 😁 that is great of yall!
Hope y'all have a blast. We just head out and find a spot. This is all National Forest. There is no place to check in like with National Parks, or Rec areas. You just drive down dirt roads until you find a spot that has a fire ring.
Thank you!!!

21 seasoning salute?
Just realized we were wrong. It was the Trader Joe's Everyday Seasoning. We could not find it on their website, but found a ebay link to some www.ebay.com/i/174141726468?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=174141726468&targetid=917185845248&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9025857&poi=&campaignid=10456153837&mkgroupid=100467642181&rlsatarget=pla-917185845248&abcId=2146000&merchantid=119030279&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgo_5BRDuARIsADDEntS3dMKho3Qp3UtjjqQDcNYdgtaE2xy2B2gW_RhlKP6dtTiMDyN1QLUaAgamEALw_wcB
Keep the Natural State natural keep up the good work camp on🚮
Thank you. We will do our best!
Bikinis, camping and a clean up makes a perfect video 👍
lol thank you for watching
Is Jonathan related to y’all?
He is. He is Kellie's brother.
Have y’all ever tried a Thermacell? I don’t know how they work for biting gnats but they work shockingly well for mosquitos. They have a new one that hooks up to a 10.00 Walmart butane canister and lasts for many days of continuous use. The older style little butane cartridges can be refilled cheaply as well. We use our all the time.

Thank you so much! We just saved it to our wish list and will be purchasing it soon!
You should wear heavy duty gloves 🧤 to protect your hands
We will make sure to put some in the H3 going forward. Thank you for the tip!
Nice bikini,you’ll are lucky to have that mush forest to camp in the Close to your house.we have to travel 3hours,,and I think people are living in your national forest,
Thank you. There might be!
Guys, if you are filtering the water to drink you shouldn’t rinse your produce in it, giardiasis is no fun
Thank you for the tip.
