Dispersed Camping with a Rottweiler Deep in the North Woods.

  • This week Tilli and I traveled to Northum Minnesota and found a dispersed campsite in the Chippewa National Forest. I did not see any homes for miles. The closest Walmart is about 70 miles away, and the closest Dollar General is 40 miles away. That is how remote this place is. It was the 4th of July weekend, and we did not see another living sole for two days. This spot was close to perfect. The downfall of this site is probably what keeps it empty. There is no way a trailer would make it, and it's not even close to level. I had to lift the rear of the camper almost a foot just to make it "kind of ok" inside. The payoff was amazing views, peace and quiet, and true remote Minnesota backwoods. Hopefully the flies will settle down soon. The mosquito hatch is over, so they are not as bad as they once were. But the Deerflies have been insane this year. I spoke with a Conversation Officer who said this is the worst he has ever seen them. I'm looking forward to fall. The heat and humidity and suffocating. The temps were in the upper 80's the dew point in the upper 60's. It is heat rash season. lol
    I'll see you again next week. Have a wonderful 4th!

    Hi Kenny! I've been watching a lot of your videos, and I really enjoy them. I don't think it's selfish to not disclose the coordinates of these places. It's great to see someone taking the principles of Leave No Trace seriously and being a responsible steward of the land. Keeping the location of camping spots undisclosed helps preserve the beauty and integrity of these natural areas. By not sharing (at least publicly) specific locations, it helps prevent overcrowding, minimizes our impact, and protects the ecosystems that make these spots so special. It encourages people to explore and discover their own hidden gems while promoting a sense of adventure and respect for the environment. Kudos to you for prioritizing the long-term preservation of our natural spaces. Keep up the great work!

    Nice video as always, Kenny.
    You do manage to find some great private areas. I would respect your keeping some of those locations to yourself.
    It was nice you had a "pal" along on this trip.
    I can't help but be curious if the "light colored" blue shirt offered any relief from the horse/deer flies whatsoever.
    I hope that it might have or perhaps it might have been a stronger breeze.
    If not, I apologize for wasting your time. Those flies sure can put a dent in an otherwise great time.
    Thanks for sharing yet another consistently well done video.
    "Happy 4th Of July".

Now, we have a Border Collie mix, "Smurfy", she's 17 and I give my husband credit for Smurfy, due to him taking such PHENOMENAL care of her.

    To me, the worst thing about the flies - deer flies, house flies, black flies, green flies, or horse flies - is that they don't read or follow the labels on the bug repellents. You know the ones, that say they repel flies. Sure they do. But only in their laboratory.

      Thanks Doodles. I think letting it rest without wrapping was a good idea too. I smoked it over Hickory and Oak lump charcoal for close to 3 hours. It was amazing!! I'm sorry I didn't say anything about Hanna in my previous videos. I gave an update in a video description a few months back that sadly Hannah passed away. Tilli has been giving me so much attention when I visit Mandi's, I think she somehow knows. Tilli and Hannah have spent a lot of time together over the years, but we don't live together. I have been keeping an eye on the local shelter and been thinking about finding a camping partner. This weekend worked out perfect with Tilli needing someone to watch her. It also gave me an opportunity to travel solo with a dog. I think the time spent in nature was more fulfilling having a partner there. I want to make sure I have enough time to give before getting a dog.

      I drain the water when temps get in the single digits. It could still be done. I had a heater setup in the basement area before, with supplemental fans keeping a lot of air movement in the basement area. For me, the camper sits in the driveway all week while I'm at work. It was costing too much money. If you have 10 degrees and nice sunny days, it's not that hard to keep water in the tanks. This video was from about a year and a half ago. I go into some of my cold weather tips.

    • @KennyOfAllTrades

      Thats ruff! I know we have all been there. A few years ago, when I started the channel, I showed more of the driving parts looking for spots. I got to many comments telling me it was boring, and they wanted to see more of the campsite and not the travels looking for them. I almost got skunked on Memorial Day Weekend. I left Friday after work and spent about 6 hours looking for a spot. Everything was taken. I eventually found a spot after dark and started the video Saturday Morning. Thats what makes finding these gems so epic.
