Wow, I know everyone watching appreciates what you go through to help make our day/night that much better. I personally want to thank you immensely for your videos cos your videos help me calm down and inspire me at the same time. My regards to Mandi and the girls. I’m just going to get back to watching the rest of this video in perfect peace and joy. Thank you sir !!!
I love these videos. Not only are they peaceful, and leave me with a fulfilled feeling, but they're uploaded on a Tuesday, which is a great way to break my week up. Love from Scotland 🥃 🏴
Hello Mr.Kenny,just like to give you little info on those areas where there's misquotos,please wear some good repellent on your skin,I just lost my 27 yr old son to Westnile virus,he loved camping and fishing,thank you,God bless.i really enjoy your videos alot...
Your dream of camping full time is probably not that far out of reach. The commentary and editing skills in recent videos I would argue have surpassed some of the big youtube campers. With the subscriber count continuing to climb it may skyrocket soon. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate the calm, unhurried way you go about your camp activities. It really adds to the appeal of your videos. Add to that your beautiful nature imagery, fitting music choices, campfires and your narration all add up to really quality videos-in my humble opinion. Gosh, thanks for sharing!
You really do a fabulous job filming & editing these videos. That site seems wonderful and sometimes things don't go perfectly. That's life! Accidents happen, stay safe. Love seeing you out in the outdoors. BTW, I was riding my horse out in the middle of nowhere a couple of years ago and heard very loud whoops (5 or 6). Definitely had the hair on the back of my neck standing up!😮
Weird happenings in a forest:- I was at a company conference at a castle in the UK that had a gorgeous forest nearby. Our boss said “let’s have a walk in the forest” so he and four of us went along - after about 2 hours - the weirdest thing happened - he said “ok guys, let’s go back and I’ll buy you all lunch” - now that was WEIRD. Great video as usual - thanks. Now subscribed.
It's funny to think Larry and Kenny are spooking each other across states, things that go bump in the night -LMAO! So entertaining between the two of you, I've been watching Larry from the beginning and love his two fur babies, and Kenny's Toby :). So much fun to watch just stay safe and have faith in God that he has your back at all times.
Great video! What a wonderful setup you have! I really ENJOY your camping videos! We used to do a lot of camping but I broke my leg and being 78 years old it did not heal very well! So now I just able to enjoy our area in East Tennessee deep in the woods on 5 acres riding my power wheelchair. When life gives you lemons...LIFE IS GOOD! Take care my friend!👍🙏
I live in SE TN. I don't think anyone who knows me would believe I'm watching camping videos because I had my fill of camping when I was growing up in S FL. But these are so peaceful, and Kenny remains so calm and reassuring. And the nature shots are just gorgeous. Thoroughly enjoy every one, although his nights alone, alone just "out there" somewhere make me a little nervous for him. I remind myself, if I'm watching it, he's okay, ha!
Best part of the work week is tuesday evenings enjoying Kenny's video. Thanks again for sharing your weekends with us viewers! Your video editing and the views with the drone are way over the top this week my friend.
Great video. Thanks. I was camping, no other people were there, empty campground, dark quiet night, and I heard foot steps crunching the dry fall leaves coming from behind me. I turned on my headlamp and spun around expecting a zombie attack. It was a snowshoe hare, making just one hop at a time. Wheww.
I tracked poachers for 20 years in the foothills of the Rockies/Canada; me, my horse, 2 mules and my tracking dogs, I have never heard a noise or any sign I couldn't identify. My horse would pick up the scent of anything threatening long before my dogs, I would shush my dogs so I could spot what was coming/man or beast ...I've come across thousands of dead carcasses/piles of bones and reported each one, not one bigfoot lol... There are probably 5 million trail cameras out there between American and Canadian hunters and not one of an identifiable bigfoot....My Father always told me confront your fears, words I live by except when in Africa lol...Thanks for the video and ouch on the head, good thing you're not on blood thinners...
That's awesome. I bet you have seen some amazing displays from Mother Nature. I'm sure the job wasn't always roses. I've know an undercover officer with the Department of Natrual Resources. He told me a number of stories regarding poachers. It is fun to listen to the stories. Thanks for watching!
I enjoy your camping videos so much, Kenny. Your laidback approach, the video and editing, even your music adds to the whole video experience. No yelling, goofing around, loud headbanger music…just a nice calm day and night in the woods. I’m sorry about your bump (head skin!). Thank you for posting this!
I keep telling Larry he needs to get in the truck camper and show us more of Arizona. He gets some great footage. I try to capture Minnesota as best as I can....well as best as a two year old Gopro can capture. Larry uses a real camera, and it shows.
I'm in love with fishing in Canada and watch many videos from there.... drive through mn often and also stay at the northern mn resorts mostly around Cook and Ely I'm born and raised in Minnesota. Haven't lived there for many years.... sadly. I love your videos and your enthusiasm and positivity! The videos take me "home." Thanks. Maybe others have said this, but supper comes from the days of farming when dinner was the big noon meal for a hard working day. At night it was supper, lighter meal with usually leftovers. My dad thought people who called the evening meal dinner, were snobs. Thanks again. 70 something now in Illinois.
If I was sitting alone, in the forest, at night, I would have a shotgun sitting on my lap. I will admit, I am a chicken! Just walking into that bathroom would have me freaked out. Great video, Kenny! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I hope you are ok after your injuries!!
Thanks Mr. Kenny for another great campout! I love each of the videos as they are all different and unique. Your pork ribs turned out great and I love the idea of the apple juice as marinade and steamer. So sorry you bonked your head on your camper slide. I yelled out and winched in pain when I saw all the blood. I have to tell you that your video footage with the beautiful birds singing in the background is very 'soul healing.' I follow other UA-camrs who use a lot of stock video footage in their own videos. Most of the images I see are not nearly as good as yours. I'd love to have a few hours of Kenny's video with the nice music you have played in yours. My students would love it playing the background. Thank you again! Take care, stay safe and keep warm & cozy. Big hugs to you all from sunny Florida! 🤗💗🙏🎉
I have just found your channel and absolutely love your content. Yes, keep at it, you could easily make a living doing UA-cam full time. I had a slide in Lance truck camper on a Chevy 2500 for a couple of years. It was my absolutely most favorite rig ever. I have a motorhome now and will downsize in the next year or so back to a truck camper possibly. I camp like you do, remote, quiet, and no people except i stick to the West and Southwest. Keep going!!
I grew up in Britt just to the southwest of Big Rice Lake. My brother's sister and I would bike to that lake. Would catch Big Northers there. That was in the 70's
HA! Remer has a Bigfoot festival each year! I’ve got a camping channel on UA-cam too and my buddy and I started a Bigfoot channel a month ago and did an investigation in pine county and got 12,000 view’s already. I think doing a Bigfoot episode would be terrific!
Once again great video, I can attest that there is nothing wrong with those woods - my hunting camp is just a couple miles from that shooting range - the place that was mowed on the left with the parking space and trail on the right - we're about 1 1/4 miles back from the logging mess. Spend almost every weekend out there in the summer - and no bigfoot yet. There are moose out there - we've had 2 bulls on the cameras again this year, and have seen 2 cows last year. The bull came by my stand last deer season - got my attention, huge animals. You might get a northern out of Big Rice, but you're better off riding the bike down to Pfieffer lake - bass, perch, sunnies and I've heard walleye, but I haven't fished it for a long time, so no guarantees. Thanks for all the entertainment, keep them coming.
Although there's no markers, just a few miles back at the railroad crossing next to the gravel pit you were looking at staying, is where, in 1934 Bobbi the Father of the Finnish deer herd was caught - him and 6 other fawns were shipped back to Finland to help repopulate their herd which now numbers 21,000 - some interesting history to google. We've often said we should contact Finland to see if they could return the favor. Parts of the foundation of the Neimi homestead can still be seen along the river there. And a few miles from there lived Otto Walta the Finnish superman - lots of interesting stories and folklore about him to to read on google - kind of the areas Paul Bunyan. So what may seems as just a long dirt road can sometimes hold a bit of forgotten history. Hope that helps to break some of the bad aura feelings from the weekend.
Kenny you have over 400 comments! That says loads, #holybuckets. Thank you for another amazing video of you turning what most of us would bitch and complain about into positive experiences. So much work on your end blesses us with 25 minutes of vicarious primitive camping joy. What animal was in that pond???
Thank you so much! I try to respond to all of them. Reading the comments help keep me motivated. I think that was either a muskrat or beaver. It was gone so fast and I could only see the top of the head. It would have been cool to see the body, then Id know for sure.
The camera shot directly above the fire when you lit it was a good addition. You make a simple one day camping trip in the woods into an amazing video. Great job and keep it up and you’ll be camping on tuesdays and wednesdays in no time🎉
Kenny, I’m from New York Staten Island and never had these adventures in my life. You made me see what I’ve been missing. I hated to see you hurt yourself. I think you’re a great person. You have a great family. I love Toby. I’m a dog lover. I’m glad you got one use your recipes, you make me hungry when I watch your shows. You also make me envious cause I would love to be where you are and if I can help in anyway I will. I live my life through you thank you and thank you for tiny cabins also
I'm glad I can bring you along on these little adventures. Jack is a great guy too! We met in person a few times. He recognized my camper one day while I was at work. He was headed up to his cabin and recognized my Arctic Fox. I couldn't believe it when I heard his voice from the front office asking if someone named Kenny worked in the building. We've been in contact ever since. It's nice to have someone to share information with. Especially when the forest trails get rutted up and full of snow. Toby and I will see you again next week!
Sir Kenny - I like how you camp, cook and enjoy God’s creation outdoors; Early congratulations on 20K subscribers - my prediction is you will get to 100K+ in much less time than coming this far. What I appreciate most about you is that you’re not cockey, prideful or angry but calm, cool, 15:31 level-headed and relaxed - and that makes for a great late evening video before hitting the hay. May God bless you and yours / John 3:16 & 14:6; Romans 10:9-13
A little extra for all the fuel used! Kenny, you were hard on yourself this video! Lucky to have survived it LOL. Your slide corner looked like a crime scene. Darn head cuts bleed like crazy. The boat with the sickle bar mower on the front was awesome! Kenny, I have had so many weird experiences....not in the woods though. When I first started at the S/O, I was a C/O. I worked the 23:00-0700 shift. At the time we were rated as the most secure County Jail in the State. One night I was sitting at the desk in the kitchen finishing a report and I literally had a loaf of bread fly off the rack at me ten feet away. Another night I walked past the employee restroom in the housing access hallway and the water turned on in the sink.....knob turned...no one around. Same as when I was cleaning the walk in front of the pods and I heard a door slam....my coworker was in a entirely different part of the building. About thirty years ago we were house hunting and went to a house for sale next to my bosses rental house, I walked five feet in the house and got totally creeped out and couldn't go any further, couldn't get out quick enough. My boss had previously worked for a auctioneer cleaning out houses for auction. When I told her about it the next day she said she helped clean out the house for a estate. The owner committed suicide with a shotgun in the kitchen. When they pulled out the stove you can imagine what they found behind it. I have the strange ability to "witch" I can find water lines, buried electrical lines. I have helped a local Genealogist plot old cemeteries with unmarked graves. I can tell whether it's a male or female buried by the rotation of my copper wire. My Detective at work called B.S. to it until we went to a local cemetery........she changed her mind. So many things can't be explained......that's what makes life so interesting! Hope you are all healed up and ready for your next adventure......don't forget the Band Aids and Triple Antibiotic Creme!
That's an awesome story! I believe that people can be sensitive to residual energy. That's such a cool gift! I wonder if it runs I the family. I would imagine genetics has something to do with it. That's so cool! I have a few stories from our jail as well. I'm not as sensitive as you. But I've heard crying from the trusties cell at night when we it was empty. There was an incident in that cell at one time. I do think every can remain here after an incident takes place. Thank you so much for your generosity! You are the biggest supporter of the channel, and it's really appreciated.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Thanks Kenny I love where you go and what you do. I am RVing vicariously through you. It's just like being there. The only one else in my family that could douse was my cousin. He was good at underground water. I have tried to have my three boys try it. One that tried couldn't, the other two are too freaked out about it to try LOL! After my Dad passed, about a month later I had a dream of being with Dad. It got me past the grieving stage. When my Mom commented to my wife how much happier I was she told Mom about what went on in my dream.....Mom was shocked......it was the very same dream my Dad had about a month after his Dad passed, to the exact detail. I was six when Grandad passed so Dad would have never told me about it. Once when the kids were little we took them to the K.of C. picnic. The food area was under a large circus type tent. It looked like a rain was coming up and I had a "feeling" and told Caryl we needed to leave NOW!!! About twenty minutes after we left, a storm collapsed the tent. Several people injured. Another time at a restaurant we were sitting in our booth and all of a sudden I told Caryl to move.....sure enough a waitress with a full tray came from behind me and dropped the whole tray in front of us.....I saw it ten seconds before it happened. I can tell time within two minutes.....freaks Caryl out a bit.....but it's handy! I come from people of the land, farmers and woodsmen since they got here in 1736. I really think people of the land might be more sensitive. The old timers from Appalachia, Native Americans are good examples. I think there is so much electromagnetism and life force in us that it doesn't always end at death. I also wonder for whatever reason maybe some people have more attractive electromagnetism to repulsive electromagnetism. I don't know Kenny, I try not to overthink anything anymore LOL!!!
@richardkoch8752 That's very true. I believe in residual energy as well. I've held people's hands, looked them in their eyes, and told them everything was going to be ok during their last moments. It can be a very peaceful experience. I've also witnessed the opposite. I could see the total fear on their faces as they slipped away. I also had the opportunity to deliver a baby girl on the floor of their living room. Well... Mom did all the work. I was just playing catcher and giving emotional support. Dispatch said the ambulance was 20 minutes out, and mom was crowning. I knew it was show time. Seeing the full circle of life is amazing and makes me think there's more to it than we know.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Kenny, you put that so well! I really like that. When the County Coroner was out of town I was it. I always looked at it as being a honor. You're right, some looked so peaceful......others not so much. Getting the honor of helping a woman bring a new life into the world never happened for me......that had to be great! When I was six I took on a early 60's Ford in front of School......Ford won: leg broken in two places, crushed ankle, broken hip. Things went to frame to frame slow motion. I was a tough kid....crawled out of the street. I've had two experiences in recent years where it was a flip of the coin where I would wake up. Each time though I had the most peaceful feeling that I have ever felt. It was a amazing feeling.
Awww...I LOVE Chippewa forest, too!!! I feel so bad for ya getting hurt. Ouch!! Hope you heal fast. Beautiful campsite! I'm a firm believer in bigfoot. Stay safe out there my friend 😊
I love your videos. Sorry you hurt yourself. That would be me. Hitting my head. I was at a park with my boys. We called it the wooden park. The playground was all wood. The swings, and nooks and crannies to hide in. Big enough for parents to play as well. I was chasing the kids through the tunnels and did duck. I hit my head so hard I went down. I got up and my head was bleeding. But well worth it to play on the bridges and castles with the kids. Anyway, Sorry got long winded. I just put the notification on. Don't want to miss anything. Now I got to check out what videos i missed. Thank you for such great videos. Very peaceful and very relaxing.
Thank you Josh. I thought it was a great night for a campfire conversation. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And again, I have to thank you for your generosity! Your support for the channel really makes a difference. Thank you so much!
Kenny!!! Your head 🫣 glad you didn’t need stitches!!! ☺️ That music throughout was absolutely perfect and suited the vibe of the video so much 👏 funny story, when you were talking about Bigfoot, I got so engrossed in what you were saying and the very second you noticed a noise one of my dogs growled and spooked me so I got double spooked at the same time 😂 talk about timing 😂😂😂
I was a little late on watching this one, but it was a good one! Who knew Walmart could come to the rescue! My fav scenes: drone flying over you to lake; lifting the shade to find you seated by the fire ring, and your fireside chat about not being afraid! Your editing is phenomenal! The ribs looked delicious, I think I'd try searing them over the grill before putting into skillet, that way you don't have to handle them as much when hot. They're perfect when they come off the bone like that! Full time You Tubing, always a good plan for retirement, when you don't have to worry about a "day" job. Until then, we're the lucky ones, we get to keep watching your wonderful videos and living vicariously through your adventures, complete with bumps and bruises....keeping it real, as always!
Thank you so much! This is an amazing comment. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. It's nice to dream about doing UA-cam full-time. I'm sure the only reason it came to my head is because it's getting harder and harder to find these remote sites on the weekends. I'm totally jealous of people who have days off during the week. The good news is that during the winter months, it's not a problem. Maybe this weekend it won't be as busy. 🤞
@@KennyOfAllTrades You do an amazing job of finding sites, especially dispersed ones. I believe everywhere is crowded on summer weekends, even your treasured finds. We'll be picking up our new AF about this time next year and plan to do a few trips to decide whether we want to full-time truck camp or not, mostly dispersed/boon docking, not interested in campgrounds unless it's for one night for dump and taking on water. Imagine what you could find if you weren't locked into weekend only adventuring?
@doodles2814 Wouldn't it be awesome to drive west with no plans other than experiencing mother nature to her fullest! That is a dream!! Our country is full of treasures in every corner. Each state has something to offer. If it's meant to be, one day I might get a little taste of it.
Great video. Your video's are always relaxing and calming, which the world needs more of.. Sorry for your scratches and bruises on this trip. It happens once in a while. Safe travels!
Hey Kenny! Love the videos! My family has a cabin in East Texas on 100acres. It’s on a creek that changed paths and now is slowly growing up. This property has been in my family for 100 years. I grew up out in those woods. I can tell you so many crazy stories, but the craziest and creepiest was one when I was about 15 or so. We had a big New Year’s Eve party down there, we had the family and we were stuffed full in that cabin! On the night before New Year’s Eve we had a giant bonfire, this fire was about 6 feet tall and we were burning out old brush too. It was heavily controlled. Well, there’s about 10 of us outside and we’re just sitting there watching the fire die down, we hear screaming that sounded like a man and a hunting dogs bark. We had music on at first so we thought it was just the sounds of us talking and laughing. My brother in law had turned the music off and we heard it again. There was clearly a man yelling for help and that he was lost followed by a dog barking that was definitely with him. We kept listening and we noticed,….the tone and barking never changed in urgency or frequency. We started calling out to the man and we’d listen. Again we heard “Help me! Help! Help me! I’m lost!”we tried to ask where he was, but we got nothing. It was decided that Half of the men folk grabbed their rifles, flashlights and Lanterns, and rope and other tools needed in case they needed to rescue this poor man and his dog. The other half, my half, would start building the fire back up again, we grabbed extra lights, and rifles just in case. We were ready in case we needed to act fast. We said goodbye and heard the men folk out in the woods calling out and we still heard that man and his dog, except over time it got softer until it finally got quiet. When my dad, my brother in law, my uncles got back, their account was, “not once did we hear him as clearly as we did at the cabin, we saw no lights, heard no dogs, and we eventually heard no man.” I’m 40 years old now and I still have never forgotten nor have I ever heard that distress call again. It was blood chilling. We called and reported it to the local police station in town. No one was ever reported missing in that area. I don’t believe in ghost stuff too much, but I think that night, in those deep east Texas woods, in the devil’s pocket as it’s known, I heard ghosts that night. ❤️
Right now, I'm deep in the woods. I have a little bit of cell service because of the Hiboost. I just finished fishing, and I'm gonna start a fire soon. Your story has officially creeped me out... I swear...if I hear some start screaming, I'm going home. You will have to watch Tuesdays video. You will see if I stay out here all night. That was a good story! Thanks 👍
Oh I still get creeped out lol but I am always hyper aware of my surroundings. That’s thick woods just like this video here and I still get the heebie jeebies once in a while. That story is one we always talk about every year. Look forward to the video. Stay safe, my friend. In the words of Robert Frost “The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.”
Hi Ken, great channel! From the PNW and yep, they're here. Haven't seen them but have heard them, twice actually, and I have a witness to corroborate this, my backpacking buddy and I...
New subscriber here. What a really nice campsite and all to yourself! You were talking about Bigfoot. I haven't seen one either but I kinda hope they're out there. I do have a story though. In the summer of 2021 we said to heck with covid and went on a month long road trip to 14 different states visiting Mt Rushmore, Devil's Tower, Yellowstone, Olympic National Forest. While we were in Oregon on the 101 we had trouble finding a campground that wasn't full so we decided to just camp overnight at a trailhead that wound up a densely forested mountain. There was a couple in a red pickup with a camper shell with the same idea so I felt safe. The next morning the red truck was gone but we decided even though it was so secluded we would stay for another night so we didn't pack up and leave. My husband decided to take his drone out and take some pictures of the surrounding forest. Later that night as we were about to go to sleep we decided to look at the photos on his phone he'd taken with the drone . They were just random pics of the forest trees and such. However one of the pictures kinda looked a little different. I didn't notice it but something caught my husband's eye and he enlarged the picture and to our surprise up in a tree on a limb was this creepy wolf like creature staring directly into the drone! We don't know what that thing was but I fully expected it to jump on our van in the middle of the night! I made sure all the windows were up and doors locked! Nothing happened but we were so creeped out we left early the next morning. Every once in a while we look at that photo and try to come up with some kind of explanation but there isn't one. My husband just had a wreck on his EBike fourth of July. It was bad. He fractured two bones in his face, broke his collarbone and 4 ribs. I've never seen someone with more bruising. He's practically head to toe in bruises, cuts and broken bones! We go tomorrow to the orthopedic doctor to see if they will be putting screws in his collarbone. As much fun as they are to ride they can be dangerous. I'm glad you didn't sustain worse injuries from your wreck! Sorry this is so long! Thanks for the nice videos. I think your channel will grow!
Wow. Oh my gosh, that sounds bad! I hope he heals up ok. I caught a sand patch while flying the drone and riding at the same time. I went head over the handlebars but was able to roll out of it. I'm thankful it wasn't bad. Tell your husband I hope he starts feeling better so he can get back on the bike. Sounds like he has a long road in of healing ahead. That was an awesome story! I love finding unexplainable things. It's so cool that you had the drone at the right place and time. That country is so big over there. Like you, I'm a bit of a skeptic. But I believe there are creatures in existence that we are unaware of.
I appreciate you taking the time to post these up. You put a lot of thought into how you present them us and it shows. I find them very peaceful to watch, reminds me of being in the woods when I lived in Michigan many years ago.
We’re the lucky ones Kenny. Love your channel. Never miss a vid. Fellow Minnesotan here. You give me inspiration the get into our great northern woods. Maybe I’ll bump into you one day.
I was born and raised in Texas but both my parents are from Minnesota. I have an uncle that lives in Hibbing. Your videos sure make me want to get up there and do some camping. We don’t have near the number of free camping spots here in east texas. The park closest to me is $50 a night for water and electric. Thanks for taking us along with you! Keep up the great content.
Hibbing is an awesome town. I do a lot of camping in that area. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. I've have others tell me that even though Texas is Huge, with tons and tons of land, not much of its public. That's too bad. I believe in Minnesota 24% of the state is Public land, and 90% of its in the northern half of the state. I feel very fortunate to live up here. Thanks for following along on my weekend adventures.
I was a little sore Monday. But by Tuesday, I was back to normal. Today or tomorrow, I'll have to think of where we go this weekend. Have a great rest of your week!
That's pretty cool you ended up at my preferred campground. When you were riding the bike towards the end I seen you were at the second campground on the right. I usually take the first one on the left. Does get spooky quiet there at night, sometimes you could probably hear a pin drop it's so quiet. Big aspen trailhead is close by also to the lake, nice trail in the summer months. ..Glad you had a good time at Big Rice Lake!
Good evening from Godley Texas, enjoy the cooler temps. When I arrived at my campsite yesterday it was 100° feel like temp 112 and no breeze. Thanks for taking us along with you. Stay safe and happy travels 😎
You're a hearty "norseman" up there in Minnesota....great vids with fun cooking techniques. I am sure that your channel is going to go off the charts. We'd love to have you doing this full time ! You make us feel happy and peaceful!!!
You did again finding a great spot. Your video just made me feel like I was there. The footage was so clear and beautiful I envy you. Also, sorry for your injuries, but you probably know a great nurse, too, take with you. Lol
Hi Kenny glad you found a place to camp, great scenery the sounds of the birds, the flowers, sorry you weren't able to fish I know how you love to the night sky was amazing all the stars,awesome aerial view of the lake sorry you hurt yourself, thanks for sharing stay safe
kind of late, but I just discovered you and man I do love your videos! so full of beautiful views! I am from Mexico but lived here for some 40 years and I have not enjoyed much of the Northern Minnesota, but retirement is in the horizon and the North shore is in my bucket list. my wife and I are thinking about a cabin somewhere up north! thank you foe your videos! I love when you have your dogs and I definitely love the end of your videos, that is inspiring!!
The Hibbing WM is about 15-20 minutes from our home southwest of Pengilly/Swan Lake. One of the map points on your phone couldn’t have been more than a couple of miles from us. Always enjoy the videos Kenny!
That is so cool. If you ever see me around, make sure to say hi. I've been making these videos for over two years. So far, I've been recognized once.... well...my camper was recognized. I don't have a lot of viewers from up here. lol
@@KennyOfAllTrades we’d totally say hi if we crossed paths. We’ve been watchers pretty much since the beginning. Your vid’s played a minor role in my wife and I relocating from KS up to the Northwoods. Have the 1 ton truck but not the TC quite yet - in the cards though. Probably have told you all that before. We’ll keep cheering on the view counts! They’re getting up there!
My head ached for you. I've hit my slide with my head several times but have never cut myself. I've contemplated adding a pool noodle to the corners when I'm parked and am really thinking about it now. They build those AF slides strong! Hope your scratches recover quickly.
That aluminum was sharp! I will probably do the noodles trick. I would have in the past, but I know myself. I'll lose them within the first few months.
Hi Kenny! Put a trail cam outside your house. I’d love to see some bears dumpster diving. 😂 Great video 🎉 I’m officially caught up and have watched every one. Seriously watching you camp unwinds me. I am also learning so much about Minnesota. Wild rice… who knew? I’m camping this weekend at a place called Hood River. It’s on the Columbia river at the base of Mt. Hood. Beautiful mountain in Oregon. What would we do without our forests? Alright now that I’ve talked your ear off… keep up the great content. Keep on camping my friend!
That's a great idea!! I'll look into a trail cam. I've seen photos of Mt. Hood. It looks amazing. I can only imagine it's breathtaking in real life. Thanks for checking out all the videos. That's so awesome!!
Funny you say "it would be nice to do this full time" lol. I can tell you from first hand experience as long as you own a house and are average Joe - retired you won't be doing much of that full time. I spend 6 months in the Keys in a truck camper and when I get back home back up here there is so much to do catching up around the house with projects and normal maintenance . My ultimate goal is to either sell the house or rent it out year round and travel the months I am not down in the Keys. Your videos are great though and do enjoy taking a break from painting or rebuilding turf to watch them. Those bugs - skeeters and deer/horse flies I could do without though lol.
I've thought about renting out the house. I don't want to sell my property. I'd like to have something to leave the kids one day. I've been dating Mandi for over 10 years now. We've talked about moving in together now that the kids are grown and moving out. I'm still years away...its fun to dream..
@@KennyOfAllTrades Nah you will get there. Keeping a house/residence is a must since real estate market is always going up and getting back in means higher property taxes and likely higher interest rates. That being said having a place to call home comes in handy if me or my better half were to ever get sick. Hard to deal with an illness on the road. I actually look forward to being on the road from beginning of December to end of May. It gets harder getting back into the swing of things when I return as I get older. Need to hit the lotto so I can hire all the maintenance out lol.
Hi Kenny, I've only just started watching you're video there are fantastic great sound from the birds.. Sorry to see you're injured yourself keep up the good video.. Love the camper great stuff !!!
Great video Kenny...I used to work in St. Louis County awhile back and got sent out in the sticks after staying up late watching a Big Foot documentary about the area. Needless to say, the bear tracks I saw 2 miles out in the boonies didn't seem that scary 😂.
I found out about you from watching Larry's channel. I'm sure glad I did, both of you are just great guys. I really enjoy watching both of your content. I was laughing as I thought "there's no Bigfoot in those woods, it would have grabbed those great looking ribs!" Gosh you had a bang up time...literally this trip. I'm truly sorry dear, I know you were probably sore the next couple of days. Praying for safe adventures, that'd be a great spot to stay again sometime. I'm serious when I say stay safe and GOD bless.
Sorry for your injuries….hope you’re feeling better. I saw a tip on another video - use a piece of a “pool noodle” on the corners of your slide to protect against such injuries. Just passing it on. Enjoy your videos….keep them coming! God bless!!
That's the only thing bothering me yet. The head feels fine, but the scabs on the shoulder and legs open up when I stretch or neal down. I have had a good road rash for a long time.
Ouch! Hope all your scrapes and bumps heal fast 😊. Another great video and I learned something new about the wild rice. Thank you for sharing and God bless!
Wow Kenny! So much action in this video! From the hunting scene (for a campsite of course) to the fight with the camper, it’s always a pleasure to journey with you on your camping adventures.
Kenny, your channel has become one of my favorites. I look forward to your weekly adventures. When I retire I hope to spend much of my time as you do on your weekend travels. Here in western PA, we have our share of Big Foot legends - UFO’s too. Thanks for sharing.
Tuesdays are my favorite day now. Love seeing a new video from you every week. That place did take it's price in blood from you but looked beautiful. Keep up the good work! These places are going to camp themselves! A bad day camping is better than a good day at work!
I really enjoy your videos. I have been watching for about a week now on my breaks at work. Keep doing what you do and continue to enjoy life. God Bless
When I go back and watch old videos I'm so lonely for Tobey he truly is a star!
💯
Me too,luv the tobster.
Wow, I know everyone watching appreciates what you go through to help make our day/night that much better. I personally want to thank you immensely for your videos cos your videos help me calm down and inspire me at the same time. My regards to Mandi and the girls. I’m just going to get back to watching the rest of this video in perfect peace and joy. Thank you sir !!!
That is such an awesome compliment!! That you so much.
Really enjoy your trips
Thank you for displaying the beauty of Minnesota in your videos.
I just wish everyone cared for the great outdoors like you do!
Agree same 100%
I love these videos. Not only are they peaceful, and leave me with a fulfilled feeling, but they're uploaded on a Tuesday, which is a great way to break my week up.
Love from Scotland 🥃 🏴
It's so cool that someone in Scotland is watching! I appreciate the comment.
Hello Mr.Kenny,just like to give you little info on those areas where there's misquotos,please wear some good repellent on your skin,I just lost my 27 yr old son to Westnile virus,he loved camping and fishing,thank you,God bless.i really enjoy your videos alot...
Your dream of camping full time is probably not that far out of reach. The commentary and editing skills in recent videos I would argue have surpassed some of the big youtube campers. With the subscriber count continuing to climb it may skyrocket soon. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much. That's very kind of you to say. I really appreciate it.
Watching this video at the camp fire.…only one chair looks so lonely now that you have Toby so
Happy you have him 🥰🥰
I appreciate the calm, unhurried way you go about your camp activities. It really adds to the appeal of your videos. Add to that your beautiful nature imagery, fitting music choices, campfires and your narration all add up to really quality videos-in my humble opinion. Gosh, thanks for sharing!
That is so awesome to hear. What a perfect comment to start the day with. Thanks!
You really do a fabulous job filming & editing these videos. That site seems wonderful and sometimes things don't go perfectly. That's life! Accidents happen, stay safe. Love seeing you out in the outdoors. BTW, I was riding my horse out in the middle of nowhere a couple of years ago and heard very loud whoops (5 or 6). Definitely had the hair on the back of my neck standing up!😮
The Mr. Rogers of camping:) 🎉
Weird happenings in a forest:- I was at a company conference at a castle in the UK that had a gorgeous forest nearby. Our boss said “let’s have a walk in the forest” so he and four of us went along - after about 2 hours - the weirdest thing happened - he said “ok guys, let’s go back and I’ll buy you all lunch” - now that was WEIRD.
Great video as usual - thanks. Now subscribed.
It's funny to think Larry and Kenny are spooking each other across states, things that go bump in the night -LMAO! So entertaining between the two of you, I've been watching Larry from the beginning and love his two fur babies, and Kenny's Toby :). So much fun to watch just stay safe and have faith in God that he has your back at all times.
I watch Larry too, and the Tiny Cabin Life. You are my favorite though. I especially like the ones with Toby, now that you have a dog. ❤️❤️
That transition from biking to the drone over the lake was amazing! Your editing and cinematography always impresses!
Thank you! It's fun to see a shot in my mind, then put it together for others to see. Thank you for the comment.
Great video! What a wonderful setup you have! I really ENJOY your camping videos! We used to do a lot of camping but I broke my leg and being 78 years old it did not heal very well! So now I just able to enjoy our area in East Tennessee deep in the woods on 5 acres riding my power wheelchair. When life gives you lemons...LIFE IS GOOD! Take care my friend!👍🙏
I live in SE TN. I don't think anyone who knows me would believe I'm watching camping videos because I had my fill of camping when I was growing up in S FL. But these are so peaceful, and Kenny remains so calm and reassuring. And the nature shots are just gorgeous. Thoroughly enjoy every one, although his nights alone, alone just "out there" somewhere make me a little nervous for him. I remind myself, if I'm watching it, he's okay, ha!
Best part of the work week is tuesday evenings enjoying Kenny's video. Thanks again for sharing your weekends with us viewers! Your video editing and the views with the drone are way over the top this week my friend.
Thanks! I try to improve a little with every video. I'm glad you are enjoying them.
Home alone because it's hunting season. Thanks for a nice calming adventure. I wish to camp like this in remote spots. I'm learning lots.
You gotta get a set of tongs for cooking bro! And maybe a helmet and knee pads for the bike rides! Glad you are okay. Keep on truck camping 💪
Thanks Don. Mandi tells me the same thing every weekend. You'd think I've figured it out by now. Lol
It’s such a beautiful bamboo house❤and the view is breathtaking, you know, you are my favorite UA-cam channel 👍
Great video. Thanks. I was camping, no other people were there, empty campground, dark quiet night, and I heard foot steps crunching the dry fall leaves coming from behind me. I turned on my headlamp and spun around expecting a zombie attack. It was a snowshoe hare, making just one hop at a time. Wheww.
I tracked poachers for 20 years in the foothills of the Rockies/Canada; me, my horse, 2 mules and my tracking dogs, I have never heard a noise or any sign I couldn't identify. My horse would pick up the scent of anything threatening long before my dogs, I would shush my dogs so I could spot what was coming/man or beast ...I've come across thousands of dead carcasses/piles of bones and reported each one, not one bigfoot lol... There are probably 5 million trail cameras out there between American and Canadian hunters and not one of an identifiable bigfoot....My Father always told me confront your fears, words I live by except when in Africa lol...Thanks for the video and ouch on the head, good thing you're not on blood thinners...
That's awesome. I bet you have seen some amazing displays from Mother Nature. I'm sure the job wasn't always roses. I've know an undercover officer with the Department of Natrual Resources. He told me a number of stories regarding poachers. It is fun to listen to the stories. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! My trail cam donation 😂
Awesome!!! Thanks for the support of the channel! I really appreciate that.
New subscriber! Like the vids… peaceful… hope u do a Bigfoot vid in those beautiful serene woods! Enjoy ur style vids! Thanks…
But, Kenny, we like hanging out with you! You just don't know how much! 🤔
Keep Camping Kenny
Your friend,
Didi 👋
🌲 🏞 🌞🔥
🚙🌲🌳🍀🌿
thank you for what you do, i'm a handicapped woman who loves camping,i can still smell the campfire from my livingroom i can camp through you
I'm glad you are enjoying the little camping adventures
I love the fact that you create context with your videos by sharing the history or unique things about the area your in. Your videos are awesome
I enjoy your camping videos so much, Kenny. Your laidback approach, the video and editing, even your music adds to the whole video experience. No yelling, goofing around, loud headbanger music…just a nice calm day and night in the woods. I’m sorry about your bump (head skin!). Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for the kind comment. I really appreciate that.
Ouch!! Kenny I think Larry has been doing too many ghostbuster videos/ thanks for sticking with it and sharing the adventure 🤙
I keep telling Larry he needs to get in the truck camper and show us more of Arizona. He gets some great footage. I try to capture Minnesota as best as I can....well as best as a two year old Gopro can capture. Larry uses a real camera, and it shows.
Your camera work isn’t too shabby either !! / I enjoy watching Larry and down by the river also. Very glad to see the success you’ve been having.
Outstanding video. You do have the creative ability to be a "fulltime UA-camr". Look forward to all of posts. Thank you...
Thank you so much
I'm in love with fishing in Canada and watch many videos from there.... drive through mn often and also stay at the northern mn resorts mostly around Cook and Ely I'm born and raised in Minnesota. Haven't lived there for many years.... sadly. I love your videos and your enthusiasm and positivity! The videos take me "home." Thanks. Maybe others have said this, but supper comes from the days of farming when dinner was the big noon meal for a hard working day. At night it was supper, lighter meal with usually leftovers. My dad thought people who called the evening meal dinner, were snobs. Thanks again. 70 something now in Illinois.
Thanks for the comment Michael. I'm glad the videos bring back memories. I'm happy you found the channel.
You sure make it look real nice and easy. I just wish I had had done it when I was younger.
If I was sitting alone, in the forest, at night, I would have a shotgun sitting on my lap. I will admit, I am a chicken! Just walking into that bathroom would have me freaked out. Great video, Kenny! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I hope you are ok after your injuries!!
Thanks, your comment got me chuckling. I'm feeling good today. I was a little sore yesterday. Nothing ibuprofen couldn't handle.
Thanks Mr. Kenny for another great campout! I love each of the videos as they are all different and unique. Your pork ribs turned out great and I love the idea of the apple juice as marinade and steamer. So sorry you bonked your head on your camper slide. I yelled out and winched in pain when I saw all the blood. I have to tell you that your video footage with the beautiful birds singing in the background is very 'soul healing.' I follow other UA-camrs who use a lot of stock video footage in their own videos. Most of the images I see are not nearly as good as yours. I'd love to have a few hours of Kenny's video with the nice music you have played in yours. My students would love it playing the background. Thank you again! Take care, stay safe and keep warm & cozy. Big hugs to you all from sunny Florida! 🤗💗🙏🎉
Wow! that was some kind of adventure with some battle wounds to match.
Thanks for watching!
I have just found your channel and absolutely love your content. Yes, keep at it, you could easily make a living doing UA-cam full time. I had a slide in Lance truck camper on a Chevy 2500 for a couple of years. It was my absolutely most favorite rig ever. I have a motorhome now and will downsize in the next year or so back to a truck camper possibly. I camp like you do, remote, quiet, and no people except i stick to the West and Southwest. Keep going!!
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I'm glad you found the channel.
LOL, the "clean up". Loved it when you creeped yourself out!
Thanks!
Great video! I love the night time lapse. So sorry about all your injuries. So glad they were not worse. Keep up all your hard work!
I grew up in Britt just to the southwest of Big Rice Lake. My brother's sister and I would bike to that lake. Would catch Big Northers there. That was in the 70's
HA! Remer has a Bigfoot festival each year! I’ve got a camping channel on UA-cam too and my buddy and I started a Bigfoot channel a month ago and did an investigation in pine county and got 12,000 view’s already. I think doing a Bigfoot episode would be terrific!
What's the Channel? I'll check it out.
Would be honored! Bad Bigfoot Reviews is the name of the channel
Once again great video, I can attest that there is nothing wrong with those woods - my hunting camp is just a couple miles from that shooting range - the place that was mowed on the left with the parking space and trail on the right - we're about 1 1/4 miles back from the logging mess. Spend almost every weekend out there in the summer - and no bigfoot yet. There are moose out there - we've had 2 bulls on the cameras again this year, and have seen 2 cows last year. The bull came by my stand last deer season - got my attention, huge animals. You might get a northern out of Big Rice, but you're better off riding the bike down to Pfieffer lake - bass, perch, sunnies and I've heard walleye, but I haven't fished it for a long time, so no guarantees. Thanks for all the entertainment, keep them coming.
That's awesome you see moose out there. I have yet to see one in Minnesota. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it.
Although there's no markers, just a few miles back at the railroad crossing next to the gravel pit you were looking at staying, is where, in 1934 Bobbi the Father of the Finnish deer herd was caught - him and 6 other fawns were shipped back to Finland to help repopulate their herd which now numbers 21,000 - some interesting history to google. We've often said we should contact Finland to see if they could return the favor. Parts of the foundation of the Neimi homestead can still be seen along the river there. And a few miles from there lived Otto Walta the Finnish superman - lots of interesting stories and folklore about him to to read on google - kind of the areas Paul Bunyan. So what may seems as just a long dirt road can sometimes hold a bit of forgotten history. Hope that helps to break some of the bad aura feelings from the weekend.
The blower you used to clean the floor in the camper….. pure genius!
That's a handy tool after driving on the dirt for hours.
Kenny you have over 400 comments! That says loads, #holybuckets. Thank you for another amazing video of you turning what most of us would bitch and complain about into positive experiences. So much work on your end blesses us with 25 minutes of vicarious primitive camping joy. What animal was in that pond???
Thank you so much! I try to respond to all of them. Reading the comments help keep me motivated. I think that was either a muskrat or beaver. It was gone so fast and I could only see the top of the head. It would have been cool to see the body, then Id know for sure.
The camera shot directly above the fire when you lit it was a good addition. You make a simple one day camping trip in the woods into an amazing video. Great job and keep it up and you’ll be camping on tuesdays and wednesdays in no time🎉
Thanks Jay
Kenny, I’m from New York Staten Island and never had these adventures in my life. You made me see what I’ve been missing. I hated to see you hurt yourself. I think you’re a great person. You have a great family. I love Toby. I’m a dog lover. I’m glad you got one use your recipes, you make me hungry when I watch your shows. You also make me envious cause I would love to be where you are and if I can help in anyway I will. I live my life through you thank you and thank you for tiny cabins also
I'm glad I can bring you along on these little adventures. Jack is a great guy too! We met in person a few times. He recognized my camper one day while I was at work. He was headed up to his cabin and recognized my Arctic Fox. I couldn't believe it when I heard his voice from the front office asking if someone named Kenny worked in the building. We've been in contact ever since. It's nice to have someone to share information with. Especially when the forest trails get rutted up and full of snow. Toby and I will see you again next week!
Oh my gosh, I do not miss those deer flies. Cheers from AK!
Sir Kenny - I like how you camp, cook and enjoy God’s creation outdoors;
Early congratulations on 20K subscribers - my prediction is you will get to 100K+ in much less time than coming this far.
What I appreciate most about you is that you’re not cockey, prideful or angry but calm, cool, 15:31 level-headed and relaxed - and that makes for a great late evening video before hitting the hay. May God bless you and yours / John 3:16 & 14:6; Romans 10:9-13
I don’t know how that “15:31” got in there - unintended
That is a wonderful compliment. I really appreciate the kind words.
A little extra for all the fuel used!
Kenny, you were hard on yourself this video! Lucky to have survived it LOL. Your slide corner looked like a crime scene. Darn head cuts bleed like crazy.
The boat with the sickle bar mower on the front was awesome!
Kenny, I have had so many weird experiences....not in the woods though. When I first started at the S/O, I was a C/O. I worked the 23:00-0700 shift. At the time we were rated as the most secure County Jail in the State. One night I was sitting at the desk in the kitchen finishing a report and I literally had a loaf of bread fly off the rack at me ten feet away. Another night I walked past the employee restroom in the housing access hallway and the water turned on in the sink.....knob turned...no one around. Same as when I was cleaning the walk in front of the pods and I heard a door slam....my coworker was in a entirely different part of the building.
About thirty years ago we were house hunting and went to a house for sale next to my bosses rental house, I walked five feet in the house and got totally creeped out and couldn't go any further, couldn't get out quick enough. My boss had previously worked for a auctioneer cleaning out houses for auction. When I told her about it the next day she said she helped clean out the house for a estate. The owner committed suicide with a shotgun in the kitchen. When they pulled out the stove you can imagine what they found behind it.
I have the strange ability to "witch" I can find water lines, buried electrical lines. I have helped a local Genealogist plot old cemeteries with unmarked graves. I can tell whether it's a male or female buried by the rotation of my copper wire. My Detective at work called B.S. to it until we went to a local cemetery........she changed her mind.
So many things can't be explained......that's what makes life so interesting!
Hope you are all healed up and ready for your next adventure......don't forget the Band Aids and Triple Antibiotic Creme!
That's an awesome story! I believe that people can be sensitive to residual energy. That's such a cool gift! I wonder if it runs I the family. I would imagine genetics has something to do with it. That's so cool! I have a few stories from our jail as well. I'm not as sensitive as you. But I've heard crying from the trusties cell at night when we it was empty. There was an incident in that cell at one time. I do think every can remain here after an incident takes place. Thank you so much for your generosity! You are the biggest supporter of the channel, and it's really appreciated.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Thanks Kenny I love where you go and what you do. I am RVing vicariously through you. It's just like being there.
The only one else in my family that could douse was my cousin. He was good at underground water. I have tried to have my three boys try it. One that tried couldn't, the other two are too freaked out about it to try LOL!
After my Dad passed, about a month later I had a dream of being with Dad. It got me past the grieving stage. When my Mom commented to my wife how much happier I was she told Mom about what went on in my dream.....Mom was shocked......it was the very same dream my Dad had about a month after his Dad passed, to the exact detail. I was six when Grandad passed so Dad would have never told me about it.
Once when the kids were little we took them to the K.of C. picnic. The food area was under a large circus type tent. It looked like a rain was coming up and I had a "feeling" and told Caryl we needed to leave NOW!!! About twenty minutes after we left, a storm collapsed the tent. Several people injured. Another time at a restaurant we were sitting in our booth and all of a sudden I told Caryl to move.....sure enough a waitress with a full tray came from behind me and dropped the whole tray in front of us.....I saw it ten seconds before it happened.
I can tell time within two minutes.....freaks Caryl out a bit.....but it's handy!
I come from people of the land, farmers and woodsmen since they got here in 1736. I really think people of the land might be more sensitive. The old timers from Appalachia, Native Americans are good examples.
I think there is so much electromagnetism and life force in us that it doesn't always end at death. I also wonder for whatever reason maybe some people have more attractive electromagnetism to repulsive electromagnetism. I don't know Kenny, I try not to overthink anything anymore LOL!!!
@richardkoch8752 That's very true. I believe in residual energy as well. I've held people's hands, looked them in their eyes, and told them everything was going to be ok during their last moments. It can be a very peaceful experience. I've also witnessed the opposite. I could see the total fear on their faces as they slipped away. I also had the opportunity to deliver a baby girl on the floor of their living room. Well... Mom did all the work. I was just playing catcher and giving emotional support. Dispatch said the ambulance was 20 minutes out, and mom was crowning. I knew it was show time. Seeing the full circle of life is amazing and makes me think there's more to it than we know.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Kenny, you put that so well! I really like that.
When the County Coroner was out of town I was it. I always looked at it as being a honor. You're right, some looked so peaceful......others not so much. Getting the honor of helping a woman bring a new life into the world never happened for me......that had to be great!
When I was six I took on a early 60's Ford in front of School......Ford won: leg broken in two places, crushed ankle, broken hip. Things went to frame to frame slow motion. I was a tough kid....crawled out of the street.
I've had two experiences in recent years where it was a flip of the coin where I would wake up. Each time though I had the most peaceful feeling that I have ever felt. It was a amazing feeling.
Hi. AWESOME. AMAZING. SCENERIES. LANDSCAPE. CAMPING.
Thank you!
The awning man. :-) I didn’t know I wasn’t subscribed…. Have fun
I'm glad you found the channel. I hope you enjoy the weekend adventures.
Awww...I LOVE Chippewa forest, too!!! I feel so bad for ya getting hurt. Ouch!! Hope you heal fast. Beautiful campsite! I'm a firm believer in bigfoot. Stay safe out there my friend 😊
Thanks so much
I love your videos. Sorry you hurt yourself. That would be me. Hitting my head. I was at a park with my boys. We called it the wooden park. The playground was all wood. The swings, and nooks and crannies to hide in. Big enough for parents to play as well. I was chasing the kids through the tunnels and did duck. I hit my head so hard I went down. I got up and my head was bleeding. But well worth it to play on the bridges and castles with the kids. Anyway, Sorry got long winded. I just put the notification on. Don't want to miss anything. Now I got to check out what videos i missed. Thank you for such great videos. Very peaceful and very relaxing.
Thanks, I appreciate the comment. I love hearing peoples stories! I think it's cool when a video can bring back a memory for someone.
7hrs of driving… you almost could’ve gone to the UP! Love the video, again!
I was thinking the same thing! I do like driving, but after working all day, I was tired by the time I got to Walmart.
I enjoy your videos very interesting and adventurous.
Thank you so much!
Great video. Loved the campfire chat and night sky timelapse. An almost bust weekend turned into a top tier video
Thank you Josh. I thought it was a great night for a campfire conversation. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And again, I have to thank you for your generosity! Your support for the channel really makes a difference. Thank you so much!
Kenny!!! Your head 🫣 glad you didn’t need stitches!!! ☺️ That music throughout was absolutely perfect and suited the vibe of the video so much 👏 funny story, when you were talking about Bigfoot, I got so engrossed in what you were saying and the very second you noticed a noise one of my dogs growled and spooked me so I got double spooked at the same time 😂 talk about timing 😂😂😂
That is too funny. I love it when stuff like that happens. Thanks for the comment!
I was a little late on watching this one, but it was a good one! Who knew Walmart could come to the rescue! My fav scenes: drone flying over you to lake; lifting the shade to find you seated by the fire ring, and your fireside chat about not being afraid! Your editing is phenomenal! The ribs looked delicious, I think I'd try searing them over the grill before putting into skillet, that way you don't have to handle them as much when hot. They're perfect when they come off the bone like that! Full time You Tubing, always a good plan for retirement, when you don't have to worry about a "day" job. Until then, we're the lucky ones, we get to keep watching your wonderful videos and living vicariously through your adventures, complete with bumps and bruises....keeping it real, as always!
Thank you so much! This is an amazing comment. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. It's nice to dream about doing UA-cam full-time. I'm sure the only reason it came to my head is because it's getting harder and harder to find these remote sites on the weekends. I'm totally jealous of people who have days off during the week. The good news is that during the winter months, it's not a problem. Maybe this weekend it won't be as busy. 🤞
@@KennyOfAllTrades You do an amazing job of finding sites, especially dispersed ones. I believe everywhere is crowded on summer weekends, even your treasured finds. We'll be picking up our new AF about this time next year and plan to do a few trips to decide whether we want to full-time truck camp or not, mostly dispersed/boon docking, not interested in campgrounds unless it's for one night for dump and taking on water. Imagine what you could find if you weren't locked into weekend only adventuring?
@doodles2814 Wouldn't it be awesome to drive west with no plans other than experiencing mother nature to her fullest! That is a dream!! Our country is full of treasures in every corner. Each state has something to offer. If it's meant to be, one day I might get a little taste of it.
Hope your head heals up quickly. That looked like it hurt.
It did! I'm feeling much better today. Everything has scabed up nicely 👌
Great video. Your video's are always relaxing and calming, which the world needs more of.. Sorry for your scratches and bruises on this trip. It happens once in a while. Safe travels!
Thanks 😊
Hey Kenny! Love the videos! My family has a cabin in East Texas on 100acres. It’s on a creek that changed paths and now is slowly growing up. This property has been in my family for 100 years. I grew up out in those woods. I can tell you so many crazy stories, but the craziest and creepiest was one when I was about 15 or so.
We had a big New Year’s Eve party down there, we had the family and we were stuffed full in that cabin! On the night before New Year’s Eve we had a giant bonfire, this fire was about 6 feet tall and we were burning out old brush too. It was heavily controlled.
Well, there’s about 10 of us outside and we’re just sitting there watching the fire die down, we hear screaming that sounded like a man and a hunting dogs bark. We had music on at first so we thought it was just the sounds of us talking and laughing. My brother in law had turned the music off and we heard it again. There was clearly a man yelling for help and that he was lost followed by a dog barking that was definitely with him. We kept listening and we noticed,….the tone and barking never changed in urgency or frequency. We started calling out to the man and we’d listen. Again we heard “Help me! Help! Help me! I’m lost!”we tried to ask where he was, but we got nothing. It was decided that Half of the men folk grabbed their rifles, flashlights and Lanterns, and rope and other tools needed in case they needed to rescue this poor man and his dog. The other half, my half, would start building the fire back up again, we grabbed extra lights, and rifles just in case. We were ready in case we needed to act fast. We said goodbye and heard the men folk out in the woods calling out and we still heard that man and his dog, except over time it got softer until it finally got quiet. When my dad, my brother in law, my uncles got back, their account was, “not once did we hear him as clearly as we did at the cabin, we saw no lights, heard no dogs, and we eventually heard no man.” I’m 40 years old now and I still have never forgotten nor have I ever heard that distress call again. It was blood chilling. We called and reported it to the local police station in town. No one was ever reported missing in that area. I don’t believe in ghost stuff too much, but I think that night, in those deep east Texas woods, in the devil’s pocket as it’s known, I heard ghosts that night. ❤️
Right now, I'm deep in the woods. I have a little bit of cell service because of the Hiboost. I just finished fishing, and I'm gonna start a fire soon. Your story has officially creeped me out... I swear...if I hear some start screaming, I'm going home. You will have to watch Tuesdays video. You will see if I stay out here all night. That was a good story! Thanks 👍
Oh I still get creeped out lol but I am always hyper aware of my surroundings. That’s thick woods just like this video here and I still get the heebie jeebies once in a while. That story is one we always talk about every year. Look forward to the video. Stay safe, my friend. In the words of Robert Frost “The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
Your editing is getting so good. And the way you incorporate the drone footage is fantastic.
Thanks. The drone came in handy this weekend. It helped to show what this place looked like. I appreciate your comment
Hi Ken, great channel! From the PNW and yep, they're here. Haven't seen them but have heard them, twice actually, and I have a witness to corroborate this, my backpacking buddy and I...
Ouch, on the head wound and the bike wounds. Beautiful place to camp and you have all the bases covered. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the comment.
New subscriber here. What a really nice campsite and all to yourself! You were talking about Bigfoot. I haven't seen one either but I kinda hope they're out there. I do have a story though. In the summer of 2021 we said to heck with covid and went on a month long road trip to 14 different states visiting Mt Rushmore, Devil's Tower, Yellowstone, Olympic National Forest. While we were in Oregon on the 101 we had trouble finding a campground that wasn't full so we decided to just camp overnight at a trailhead that wound up a densely forested mountain. There was a couple in a red pickup with a camper shell with the same idea so I felt safe. The next morning the red truck was gone but we decided even though it was so secluded we would stay for another night so we didn't pack up and leave. My husband decided to take his drone out and take some pictures of the surrounding forest. Later that night as we were about to go to sleep we decided to look at the photos on his phone he'd taken with the drone . They were just random pics of the forest trees and such. However one of the pictures kinda looked a little different. I didn't notice it but something caught my husband's eye and he enlarged the picture and to our surprise up in a tree on a limb was this creepy wolf like creature staring directly into the drone! We don't know what that thing was but I fully expected it to jump on our van in the middle of the night! I made sure all the windows were up and doors locked! Nothing happened but we were so creeped out we left early the next morning. Every once in a while we look at that photo and try to come up with some kind of explanation but there isn't one. My husband just had a wreck on his EBike fourth of July. It was bad. He fractured two bones in his face, broke his collarbone and 4 ribs. I've never seen someone with more bruising. He's practically head to toe in bruises, cuts and broken bones! We go tomorrow to the orthopedic doctor to see if they will be putting screws in his collarbone. As much fun as they are to ride they can be dangerous. I'm glad you didn't sustain worse injuries from your wreck! Sorry this is so long! Thanks for the nice videos. I think your channel will grow!
Wow. Oh my gosh, that sounds bad! I hope he heals up ok. I caught a sand patch while flying the drone and riding at the same time. I went head over the handlebars but was able to roll out of it. I'm thankful it wasn't bad. Tell your husband I hope he starts feeling better so he can get back on the bike. Sounds like he has a long road in of healing ahead.
That was an awesome story! I love finding unexplainable things. It's so cool that you had the drone at the right place and time. That country is so big over there. Like you, I'm a bit of a skeptic. But I believe there are creatures in existence that we are unaware of.
Thanks Kenny - glad you didn't get hurt with the various mishaps!
Thanks for watching!
Just watched this video. You'll be glad to hear you have another fan from Scotland!!. Keep up the vlogs it's my escape watching them
Take Care
Tom
Thank you so much Tom. That's super cool. I appreciate you subscribing.
I’d love to see go back to Reamer! Man is that would be interesting. Do it! I’ll watch it for sure.
Always awesome Kenny
Thank you Steve. I appreciate that.
I appreciate you taking the time to post these up. You put a lot of thought into how you present them us and it shows. I find them very peaceful to watch, reminds me of being in the woods when I lived in Michigan many years ago.
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
We’re the lucky ones Kenny. Love your channel. Never miss a vid. Fellow Minnesotan here. You give me inspiration the get into our great northern woods. Maybe I’ll bump into you one day.
Thank you! Definitely say hi if we ever cross paths.
I didn’t know they harvested wild rice there. I learned something new lol. Hadn’t thought of it I guess. Lovely place!
Thanks for watching!
I was born and raised in Texas but both my parents are from Minnesota. I have an uncle that lives in Hibbing. Your videos sure make me want to get up there and do some camping. We don’t have near the number of free camping spots here in east texas. The park closest to me is $50 a night for water and electric. Thanks for taking us along with you! Keep up the great content.
Hibbing is an awesome town. I do a lot of camping in that area. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. I've have others tell me that even though Texas is Huge, with tons and tons of land, not much of its public. That's too bad. I believe in Minnesota 24% of the state is Public land, and 90% of its in the northern half of the state. I feel very fortunate to live up here. Thanks for following along on my weekend adventures.
Thank you for the Awesome getaways, but please heal fast, that looked painful.
I was a little sore Monday. But by Tuesday, I was back to normal. Today or tomorrow, I'll have to think of where we go this weekend. Have a great rest of your week!
I love secluded campsites...bought my 4x4 popup camper just so I could reach places most folks won't go. Thanks Kenny!
Thanks for commenting
When you're experience gets the best of you, a sign, your having to much fun. That doesn't happen at work.😊
So true 👍
That's pretty cool you ended up at my preferred campground. When you were riding the bike towards the end I seen you were at the second campground on the right. I usually take the first one on the left. Does get spooky quiet there at night, sometimes you could probably hear a pin drop it's so quiet. Big aspen trailhead is close by also to the lake, nice trail in the summer months. ..Glad you had a good time at Big Rice Lake!
Very cool!
Good evening from Godley Texas, enjoy the cooler temps. When I arrived at my campsite yesterday it was 100° feel like temp 112 and no breeze. Thanks for taking us along with you. Stay safe and happy travels 😎
Oh boy John, that sounds miserable. I can't handle the heat. Thanks for watching.
@@KennyOfAllTrades it can be brutal if you're no ot careful. See you next Tuesday.
@@johnhuff393 103 here near corpus Christi 🥵 this heat is no joke, stay hydrated and cool!
Thanks!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support for the channel. It really helps make the adventures happen.
Big 👍🏻 Beautiful state looks alot like Michigan
You're a hearty "norseman" up there in Minnesota....great vids with fun cooking techniques. I am sure that your channel is going to go off the charts. We'd love to have you doing this full time ! You make us feel happy and peaceful!!!
I appreciate that!
Love the way you have everything setup. Wish Alabama had more places to camp like that we use to. But everything is no trespassing now
You did again finding a great spot. Your video just made me feel like I was there. The footage was so clear and beautiful I envy you. Also, sorry for your injuries, but you probably know a great nurse, too, take with you. Lol
Lol Thanks Lynn. I told Mandi, and she just laughed. Thankfully, she didn't punch me in the shoulder. That's her style. 😆
I'm sure it would be just a love punch.
I work mental health not medical… ;) Kenny needs a life alert or something when he’s out in the woods… 😂
@@mandib757 So sorry, but just maybe he needs both mental and physical 😅
I've been saying that my entire life!!!
Hi Kenny glad you found a place to camp, great scenery the sounds of the birds, the flowers, sorry you weren't able to fish I know how you love to the night sky was amazing all the stars,awesome aerial view of the lake sorry you hurt yourself, thanks for sharing stay safe
Awesome comment. Thank you so much!
kind of late, but I just discovered you and man I do love your videos! so full of beautiful views! I am from Mexico but lived here for some 40 years and I have not enjoyed much of the Northern Minnesota, but retirement is in the horizon and the North shore is in my bucket list. my wife and I are thinking about a cabin somewhere up north! thank you foe your videos! I love when you have your dogs and I definitely love the end of your videos, that is inspiring!!
The Hibbing WM is about 15-20 minutes from our home southwest of Pengilly/Swan Lake. One of the map points on your phone couldn’t have been more than a couple of miles from us.
Always enjoy the videos Kenny!
That is so cool. If you ever see me around, make sure to say hi. I've been making these videos for over two years. So far, I've been recognized once.... well...my camper was recognized. I don't have a lot of viewers from up here. lol
@@KennyOfAllTrades we’d totally say hi if we crossed paths.
We’ve been watchers pretty much since the beginning. Your vid’s played a minor role in my wife and I relocating from KS up to the Northwoods. Have the 1 ton truck but not the TC quite yet - in the cards though. Probably have told you all that before.
We’ll keep cheering on the view counts! They’re getting up there!
@ictre7828 I love to hear that. It's cool that the videos motivate others to enjoy nature and explore what's out there.
I think you follow your heart where to setup a place all that you have shared look beautiful. Thank you for sharing and taking us a long
Thank you so much. I appreciate the comment.
My head ached for you. I've hit my slide with my head several times but have never cut myself. I've contemplated adding a pool noodle to the corners when I'm parked and am really thinking about it now. They build those AF slides strong! Hope your scratches recover quickly.
That aluminum was sharp! I will probably do the noodles trick. I would have in the past, but I know myself. I'll lose them within the first few months.
Hi Kenny! Put a trail cam outside your house. I’d love to see some bears dumpster diving. 😂 Great video 🎉 I’m officially caught up and have watched every one. Seriously watching you camp unwinds me. I am also learning so much about Minnesota. Wild rice… who knew? I’m camping this weekend at a place called Hood River. It’s on the Columbia river at the base of Mt. Hood. Beautiful mountain in Oregon. What would we do without our forests? Alright now that I’ve talked your ear off… keep up the great content. Keep on camping my friend!
That's a great idea!! I'll look into a trail cam. I've seen photos of Mt. Hood. It looks amazing. I can only imagine it's breathtaking in real life. Thanks for checking out all the videos. That's so awesome!!
Found your channel a few weeks ago.. been binge watching your videos... great channel ya got here... from Kentucky
Thank you so much. I'm glad you found the channel.
Hair and head skin..😂..the unfortunate mishaps that many of us have. including myself. while out in the Great outdoors!
Another great video of a beautiful campsite! Ive seen people cover those sharp edges of the slide with a pool noodle . Luckily, it wasnt a bad injury.
Thanks. I think I'm gonna try the pool noodle trick. I appreciate the comment.
Funny you say "it would be nice to do this full time" lol. I can tell you from first hand experience as long as you own a house and are average Joe - retired you won't be doing much of that full time. I spend 6 months in the Keys in a truck camper and when I get back home back up here there is so much to do catching up around the house with projects and normal maintenance . My ultimate goal is to either sell the house or rent it out year round and travel the months I am not down in the Keys.
Your videos are great though and do enjoy taking a break from painting or rebuilding turf to watch them. Those bugs - skeeters and deer/horse flies I could do without though lol.
I've thought about renting out the house. I don't want to sell my property. I'd like to have something to leave the kids one day. I've been dating Mandi for over 10 years now. We've talked about moving in together now that the kids are grown and moving out. I'm still years away...its fun to dream..
@@KennyOfAllTrades Nah you will get there. Keeping a house/residence is a must since real estate market is always going up and getting back in means higher property taxes and likely higher interest rates. That being said having a place to call home comes in handy if me or my better half were to ever get sick. Hard to deal with an illness on the road.
I actually look forward to being on the road from beginning of December to end of May. It gets harder getting back into the swing of things when I return as I get older. Need to hit the lotto so I can hire all the maintenance out lol.
The lotto is my long-term plan as well!
Hi Kenny, I've only just started watching you're video there are fantastic great sound from the birds.. Sorry to see you're injured yourself keep up the good video.. Love the camper great stuff !!!
I'm glad you found the channel. I appreciate the comment.
Great video Kenny...I used to work in St. Louis County awhile back and got sent out in the sticks after staying up late watching a Big Foot documentary about the area. Needless to say, the bear tracks I saw 2 miles out in the boonies didn't seem that scary 😂.
There are so many stories of Bigfoot in St. Louis County. That's for commenting.
Hi Kenny the Food 🍱 rack is Awesome Amazing so mmmmm Good ❤😊
Thank You Kenny for the Awesome Amazing Beautiful Gorgeous Video ❤😊
I found out about you from watching Larry's channel. I'm sure glad I did, both of you are just great guys. I really enjoy watching both of your content. I was laughing as I thought "there's no Bigfoot in those woods, it would have grabbed those great looking ribs!" Gosh you had a bang up time...literally this trip. I'm truly sorry dear, I know you were probably sore the next couple of days. Praying for safe adventures, that'd be a great spot to stay again sometime. I'm serious when I say stay safe and GOD bless.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words and blessings. I was a little sore yesterday but feeling better today.
Enjoyed again Kenny
Thanks! I appreciate the comment.
Sorry for your injuries….hope you’re feeling better. I saw a tip on another video - use a piece of a “pool noodle” on the corners of your slide to protect against such injuries. Just passing it on. Enjoy your videos….keep them coming! God bless!!
Thank you. I'm going to pick up a pool noodle this week. That sounds like a good idea.
Every time i do something fun now days i get injured .... that bike spill looked painfull ..thanks for another great video..
That's the only thing bothering me yet. The head feels fine, but the scabs on the shoulder and legs open up when I stretch or neal down. I have had a good road rash for a long time.
Ouch! Hope all your scrapes and bumps heal fast 😊. Another great video and I learned something new about the wild rice. Thank you for sharing and God bless!
Thanks! I was sore yesterday but doing fine today. My dad always said I was a bull I a china shop.
Wow Kenny! So much action in this video! From the hunting scene (for a campsite of course) to the fight with the camper, it’s always a pleasure to journey with you on your camping adventures.
I really appreciate that. I like your descriptions. It was definitely a fight with the camper.
Kenny, your channel has become one of my favorites. I look forward to your weekly adventures. When I retire I hope to spend much of my time as you do on your weekend travels. Here in western PA, we have our share of Big Foot legends - UFO’s too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kevin I appreciate that. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel.
Tuesdays are my favorite day now. Love seeing a new video from you every week. That place did take it's price in blood from you but looked beautiful. Keep up the good work! These places are going to camp themselves! A bad day camping is better than a good day at work!
Very true! Thanks for tuning in.
Love your videos they are so relaxing. I hope you get better soon from your wounds
Thanks, I was a little sore on Monday but feeling better today. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I really enjoy your videos. I have been watching for about a week now on my breaks at work. Keep doing what you do and continue to enjoy life. God Bless
Damn bro, hope your head feels better! Sure am glad i found your channel! Now i have something to look forward to on Tuesdays!!
Thanks! I'm glad you found the channel.
