  • Join me, Kenny of all Trades, as I return to the sketchy forest that scared my dog! Watch as I explore this dispersed campsite in a State Forest and uncover what lies within the scary woods. You won't believe what I found! #truckcamper #drycamping #remote #camping #adventure
    The last few days for me have been insanely busy, but I put every second of free time and all of my heart into this video. I'm saddened by what I found this weekend. I think gates will go up shortly. It will keep out the good people who want to use this land for its intended purpose and shield the folks who continue to wreck it.
    It's getting down to the wire and my lunch break is over. This video will post before I get off work, so I will have to apologize for the short description.
    I'll see you again next week, I'll remember to give Toby a big hug for you.
    Kenny

      Hi Kenny. You sure know how to make a camping video. Spooky in the dark. No use in putting him thru any trauma. You are awesome for picking up the trash. That’s something my hubby and I would do. I live that you weeded it. Can’t handle tall grass around my feet. I love it ~ but would rather be with another person. I’m gonna sit and watch. I so enjoy.

      Sasquatch. The dog probably senses it. When I was camping last year, my campsite got really quiet. The animals stop making noises. No birds chirping. The leaves on the trees stop rustling. The wind stop blowing. It was dead quiet. All I can hear were branches and twigs snapping all around me. I get the chills just talking about it.

Seems so many years ago when I last was in the woods. My son is all grown up and my buddy dog has passed along with a few others after him that shared my life. I'm disabled now, unable to even get out in the yard due to no easy handicap accessibility. So please know your videos mean so much to me.

    Kenny thanks for sharing your home with us. I love the long driveway and the seclusion you seem to have from the road. Nice setup. When you told Toby let's get out of here, Toby wasted no time getting out of the woods. I did notice he would run a little, but would stop to see if you were coming. I think the last time Toby was there and was spooked he smelled those nasty squatters and sensed danger for you both. So adorable the bond you two have together. What a shame that people choose to leave their trash everywhere, and what a great person you are to clean up trash. One last thing - Your cooking skills amaze me. Perhaps, one day you could make a fish stew? Stay safe and God bless you, Toby and the family.

      You are 💯 correct. One of the most beautiful spots in our area closed to the public about 2 months ago. These were old mine pits with excellent fishing. They are over 200 feet deep, crystal clear being fed by springs. It was around 1000 acres. I showed that one campsite in this video. There were 18 remote campsites in total. All gone because of this type of behavior.

    Hey Kenny awesome video as always I have not left a comment in quite a while, but I never miss none of your videos about a year ago. I left you a comment that I wanted to get a Truck Camper and I finally found one it’s lance 2001. It has been redone on the inside as far as painting, new cushions, new mattress and it is in very very good condition. Never has it ever leaked and of course he has the metal roof. I’ve only had it for a month and I’ve already went camping three times, and I’m the happiest man on earth right now. Thank you for making all these videos you touch my heart a little bit with the letters and the picture from your viewers. Take care. Also I ❤️ Toby Have a good week.

      This is awesome! I'm glad you are using the camper. I found the more I use mine the more it feels like home. Going camping is not a chore anymore, it's just second nature. It's really nice to get off work and jump in the camper for a few days. It definitely beats sitting on the couch all weekend.

      We don't know what happened to them. They may have passed away or something. They could have went into town to get another hit of drugs and never made it back to camp. They could have had a medical emergency. They may have seen the light, got sober and moved on ( in which case they should clean up their mess). They could have went to the local store and hit it big on a scratch off and never went back. OR, they're just pigs that don't care about polluting the area and the reason they moved on is because their trash became to much so they went somewhere else and trashed that place up, too.

    The one site with the tent is it looks like they may have had a run-in with a bear and just vamoosed. The other is an all-to-common problem on our state and National Forests. When I was a ranger (1989-2015) I can't tell you how many times we had to clean up all manner of things; TVs were common, desktop computers, mattresses and box springs, even a 6-cyclinder engine block and 11 cannister vacuums lined up neatly in a row. It got worse during and after the pandemic. Like you, I still clean up my site before and after. Like you, I haven't given up camping. Press on!

    • @KennyOfAllTrades

      I agree. That person took off quickly. In fact, I think he heard my truck and took off. I had a feeling like I was being watched. I was a law enforcement officer for years and a correctional officer before that. Over that time, I've learned to tune into those senses. That is why I didn't go poke around in the site. There was a good chance I would have known the person. I was an officer in the town over.

    I was sure that when you saw that tree growing beside the boulder, you were going to pick it up like Paul Bunyan and use it for the fire pit!
    Beautiful wildflowers and sunset!
    Thank you for picking up the trash!
    People bash the homeless, but we need to remember at times that so many suffer from mental illness, they have and kicked out of probably every friend or family's home that has tried to help them, and sometimes off their meds, who knows what other challenges they have endured.
    But I agree, so sad to see the beautiful outdoors so trashed!
    Thanks for your humanity and gracious attitude!
    I live in the rockies, so incredible this beautiful Earth, such diversity fire us to enjoy no matter where you call home!

    Thanks so much for making awesome truck camping videos. It’s very sad others don’t camp and “ leave no trace” like you do.

I know when I’ve done trash pickup you have to be very careful where creeps have been partying and just living very often there are used needles laying about so you and Toby be careful you don’t get stuck! Toby is doing so great! He really is the perfect dog for you and camping!

      I got jabbed by a hypodermic needle when I was a kid. It was laying in the street and I picked it up and it poked my finger. This was back in like 1980 and you didn't really have all the fears we do today. I was tested for Hepatitis and that's it, but since then I've been tested for everything and I'm pretty clean.

    • @desertweasel6965
      @desertweasel6965 4 місяці тому

      No, Toby has his own bed as he explains in another video the queen up top isn't big enough for both of them. I think a queen is plenty big enough so he's probably like me where I love my animals very much, but they are not allowed in my bed or sleep with me. It's not really good to let animals sleep in your bed as they will try to show dominance by sleeping at the very top of the bed. So, if you do let your animals sleep in your bed make sure they sleep at the bottom of the bed so they know who's boss.

    • @desertweasel6965
      @desertweasel6965 4 місяці тому

      Yes, people don't realize how much a cat can protect you with their instincts. My cat protects me all the time we are surrounded by forests and some times he will just sit there, staring at something in the woods and if I try to walk towards that direction he will walk in front of me trying to stop me.

    I have always paid attention to my inner sense of my surroundings since childhood. Has kept me safe and if I am ever blessed with a dog I would look at his or instincts ! I trust both, but a dog’s
    is so much keener than we are so I would with their senses than
    Ours that I would be aware of any sudden change in their behavior. God bless Toby is definitely the quiet type . He is growing up to fast he has all but lost that puppy look but definitely has come into his own as a Pitty plus other mix .
    He definitely is your dog 🐕. So cute you said “ you wanna go camping “? He is off the couch and on the way out the door before you could finish the sentence.😊
    He truly is becoming a star in his own right.❤
