The channel I mentioned in this week's video is from Kevin Wald.
/ @kevinwaldsadventures
Kevin is living full-time in his truck camper exploring Canada's back country. One day I'd love to explore Canada full-time from the truck camper!
This week Toby and I are taking you Northeast into the Arrowhead region of Minnesota's Superior National Forest. I had no idea what to expect as far as occupied campsites. With the sweltering heat, oppressive humidity, constant rain and blood thirsty Mosquitos I was hoping people would be staying indoors, but that was not the case. I spent about 8 hours Friday driving around trying to find a spot. I had another doctor's appointment Friday morning for the shoulder, so I took the entire day off work. It was nice to have an extra day knowing that I was going to be putting on a lot of miles.
Friday evening as the sun was going down, I found myself on a trail that I should not have been down. It was extremely tight. I could tell no one had been down the trail in a long time. The only reason I kept pushing through is because the ground was hard packed. Eventually I came to a spot that was completely washed out and I was forced drive the trail in reverse for a mile or more.
I decided to check a few more spots before giving up for the night. I'm not as familiar with the Superior National Forest as I am the Chippawa National Forest. I didn't want to be down these sketchy washed-out backwoods trails at midnight looking for a campsite. When I pulled up to the Windy Lake Rustic Campsite, I was shocked to find it empty.
I hope you enjoy following along with me and Toby this weekend. Saturday was a lazy day because of a 5-hour rain shower right in the middle of the day. But in all honesty, I enjoyed the down time. I hope the relaxing nature of the adventure comes through in this video.
I will see you again next week.
Kenny and Toby
The rain is beautiful in your camper. Toby sleeps to the rhythm of the rain LOL! So homey & cozy! Your truck camper is lovely. I like the wood above the bed. 😊
Thank you for taking us along with you. Does my heart good to tag along! ❤
Yes, Toby is definitely the best camping partner you could ever have asked for, such a sweet boy!!
YAY Tuesday with Kenny and toby
I’m always so very sad when your videos come to an end, but so very thankful that I found your channel and am able to live vicariously through you on your trips. Thank you so very much for your dedication and sharing your experiences with us. Anxiously awaiting your next adventure.
I appreciate that. Thanks 😊
Today was a rough day and this video made it end on a peaceful note.
Thank you so very much for that, it’s greatly appreciated.
Hope you and Toby have a great week!
I really appreciate you sharing. I'm glad the video helped you out.
That sammich had me drooling. Awesome idea. I’m getting a campfire griddle because if you. I love Toby when he stretches and gives the “I’m not getting up” look. You have no idea how much you lower blood pressure for everybody who watches. You are a true friend we have never met. Your editing and music are second to none. I wish I could hang out with you. Awesome.
Enjoyed the video. Listening to the rain on your roof made me sleepy. I'm just waiting for the dishwasher to finish and I'm going to bed. You and Toby have a great week. Until then Vaya con Dios.
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you very much.
Thank you for taking us with on your adventures!
You have proven again why a truck camper is one of the best campers for dispersed camping. Pull a trailer down a road where you have to turn the mirrors in then have to back out like you did. That backup camera was a great addition to aid in getting you out of that situation. Awesome video Kenny and congratulations on your daughter’s graduation !!!
I agree. It would have been really hard to back up without the camera. It would have taken a long time, and I could have easily busted out a rear window again without the camera.
Thanks for taking us along on your weekend trips!
Im happy you are following along for the adventures! Your donation is so kind and generous. I really appreciate the support. It definitely helps keep the truck rolling. Thank you so much! 😊
My dad was born in Brainerd in 1918. His family eventually moved to Fargo. He started his family here in Kansas. I love seeing these Minnesota sights. The wild flowers along the road are so beautiful. Thank you for taking us on these camping adventures. I still dream of having a truck camper. It may still happen. I'm going to read Travels with Charlie again.
8 months already wow, man. He sure has grown into a beautiful dog.
Hi Kenny and Toby really liked this video with the fishing lake in it .
I to watch Kevin's video's , you and Kevin were the only two that made comment on when my Dad died and your comments meant so much to me and my mom thank you.
Back home from the hospital had two tests CT and ultrasound three lots of blood took but had to have that blood taken out of hand because I have no vein's in my arms at all, was very painful.
I have Gallstones am waiting to hear from the hospital to see how they are going to remove them.
Wow Toby he's looking handsome such a big boy now bless his heart ❤️.
You are like me I like to watch these video's and Netflix on my phone sitting on the bed, then I have two cat's appear . I have no TV.
Take care until next week X X X
Oh boy! I hope you get some relief. I hear the pain from a gallbladder can be excruciating. Hopefully, the video was able to take your mind off of things for a short time.
@@KennyOfAllTrades yes double up in pain had to be taken to A&E the drive in friends car was not good.
I don't get any pain when on bed watching your video's I do get pain when moving about X X X
Yesss!! Toby Tuesday with Kenny 😂
I love to hear the sounds of rain on the roof 😊 and the smell of the earth after a rain storm. Even the skies are tumultuous. That camper looks like heaven so comfy…..
Hi Kenny, and thanks for your content. I really appreciate how hard you work to find such beautiful spots to share with us. You bravely proceed where few people would ❤
Heyyy Toby wuts up with my boy, hey Kenny how's it going glad 2 see the Dynamic Duo once again as always!! Take Care & Be Safe 🙏 10:20
Dogs make life better, and they're the best security alarm ever!
I just found this channel and it’s so calming to watch and listen to your voice. I’m a camper myself and my rescue dog comes with me. Thank you for sharing
That is so kind of you! I'm glad you found the channel.
So nice of u to give Kevin a shout out. I found him just when he started his channel. Yeah I've seen your comments, tickled u found him too.
I think he was feeling the pressure to get a dog, every utuber truck camper dude seems to have one lol. 🍻
I've found Kevin in that first week or two of him posting as well. I knew he would do well after watching those first few videos. His content is ALOT better than mine when I was new to UA-cam. I've never talked to him outside of the comment section, but he seems like a good dude. I hope the mention will help the algorithm figure out the right audience to put him in front of. Regardless, he is doing awesome on his own. He has 5.2k subs in 7 months. That's about what Larry and I had combined at 7 months. I know he doesn't make hardly any money with his number of views. Google doesn't pay that well. I hope my viewers will tune in, and the extra views might help put a couple gallons of fuel in the tank.
I notice there are a number of channels with pups. It's not easy. Toby and I work on training every day. It takes TONS of patience on both our parts. Thankfully, Toby is not hyper, and really smart for his age. I watch Jonathan and his pup Kaya. That dog has energy for days. I'm sure she will be a great partner for him too. It takes consistency, patience, love, and determination to get our dogs to the point where they seem to be able to read our minds. Unfortunately, their lives are so short, and losing a pup feels like losing your best friend. When Hanna passed last spring, I didn't think I was gonna let myself feel that pain again, but Toby stole my heart the first time I saw him. Any ways....this is getting long..in short I hope a few folks make their way over to Kevin's channel.
@@KennyOfAllTrades awesome about Kevin!
N yeah, I'm on my second dog too. 👍🏼
Kevin is a good 10 yrs your junior. I betya if you emailed him he would be just stoked!!! 😉 (no pressure haha) 🍻
@SpykersB lol. O', I bet I got 20 years on Kevin. I'm 13 years older than Larry. I'm closer in age to Chrome. Lol
@@KennyOfAllTrades 🤣👍🏼🍻
You and Toby picked another winner. Just love watching thunderstorms . Ya'll have a great time. Jeanie
I was so glad you found Kevin’s channel! I like his channel - been watching since he started it.
Thank you for sharing your weekend with us!
I’m camping a few days this week - hubby has an early medical appointment in a town close to us. There was a fire on the side of the highway. So we came & camped for a couple nights - to make sure he is close for the appt.
Hope you have a great week!
I hope it all goes well. Thanks for watching.
Last time I saw Tobey he was such a wee lad puppy. Now he’s a model citizen and a boyscout (by the looks of it). Time goes by fast
I wait for Tuesdays! Lifts me up every time. Thank you for all the hard work you do.❤️
Awesome and that sandwich had my name on it Kenny and you scoffed it ❤❤❤❤, lv Toby too ❤❤❤
Another awesome video, Kenny. Having a day of rest during a rainstorm is the best. You looked so cozy while watching your movie, and it was well deserved after a week of work and the time and drive to the campsite. It's so nice and kind of you to promote someone else's channel. I'll be sure to check it out. God bless you and yours always. 🙏
Thank you! I remember how hard and slow the youtube process can be. I think Kevin is doing better than I was after 7 months on UA-cam. I've never spoken with him outside of the comment section, but he seems to be a decent person. I thought maybe I could help him by having some of my viewers who injoy truck camping content watch his videos. Then, the algorithm could recognize what group of people it should be putting his videos in front of. Otherwise, it can take years for the algorithm to figure out who's watching the videos. I think one of the main reasons people stop making videos is that it takes years before you start getting enough views to make enough money to keep the fuel tank full in the camper.
Toby is growing so fast! 61 lbs!!! His personality suits yours so well. I’m glad y’all have each other ❤ Another lovely video. So relaxing. So calming. Thank you for letting us tag along 😊
The camper is definitely a sweet home away from home. Those lake views sure do soothe the soul. So glad Toby is doing well. He looks healthy and happy. Good to see you're a fan of cats too. 😅 loving the news you got a canoe replacement. Enjoy!
Toby is a good boy. The best camping buddy and attentive shot gun rider.❤
Thanks....always appreciate seeing the pup star, views and greenery. You are so lucky to live close to Wilderness....hello from Perth Western Australia, the most isolated city on the continent.
Super cool, i would love to see your town! Thank you for supporting the channel. I have been saving the Super Thanks to upgrade my camera. In this video, the scenes from the dock were all shot on my new DJI Pocket 3 action camera. I've been using a Gopro for the last 3 years. I'm hoping you can see a difference. Thank you for your generosity!
Used to use those mosquito coils in the car at the drive in movies when I was a kid. Adults in the front, kids in pajamas in the back. Coil in the ashtray and speaker in the window!
How peaceful we could use that right now . nothing better than a little rain on the roof of a camper.
Look up cozy and there's a picture of you sitting in the five-star camper on a nice rainy day. Nice episode.
Kenny you remind me of myself..getting away and enjoying the outdoors.But your cooking skills is what impressed me the most.
So heartwarming to see how Toby has become so devoted to you. Its all the dogs want out of this world is to be close to their "human" and in most parts of his life. Im sure you have had a big part in his wonderful personality...so many dogs are not as close. Anyhow, music was great and so soothing; the rainfall was peaceful. Thanks for showing us so much beauty.
Thank you for the kind words and wonderful compliments. 😊
Hi Kenny and Toby, what a contrast in weather between you and us. You have been soaking wet and we have been desert dry. Until last night I don't think we had a rain for three weeks. Add temps. in the mid 90's and humidity's in the 60's plus I basically can't leave the house except early AM or later PM.
That lake looked like a killer fishing spot. Would of loved to see the wolf pair. I have got to see wolves here locally only 3 or 4 times. We have had sightings of bear, cougar on occasions, but they're rare here in West Central IL
Still the Mississippi River is at flood stage plus......all that Minnesota rain :).
That was a heck of a sandwich! I could go for that!
Toby is such a sweet dog. You sure made a great choice for a camping/travelling buddy. Thanks as always for bringing us along.........very appreciated!
Thank you Rich! As always I appreciate your support. I'm not a fan of those dew points either. I'm built for the winter. When I see dew points in the 70s and temps in the 90s I want to call in sick to work!! I hate having a river flowing down my back side all day long. 😆
Have a great week! 👍
Hello Kenny, I'm so glad to see you and Toby back at it. The photography of the storm coming in over the lake was beautiful. Great video, thanks.
Another awsome video your definitely one of the best you tubers,thanks kenny hope you have a great week see ya next Tuesday
You are living my weekend dream Kenny. Can’t wait for next weeks video 👍
Another fantastic video to brighten our Tuesdays! Your determination to find a campsite despite the heat, humidity, and mosquitos is truly inspiring. I can't wait for you to go full-time and bring us along on all your amazing adventures with Toby. Keep up the good work, Kenny! 🐶🧔
Thanks for replying about your AC!!
That was relaxing, thank you. You and Toby were great.
Enjoyed your camping weekend. Toby is so cool, you couldn't have found a better companion. Wish I lived closer to your area so I could enjoy the beautiful campsites and areas. I'm from PA and we do have some similar areas but not with lakes/ponds like your area. Wish you and Toby well. Look forward to your next adventures.
Excellent relaxing music. Adds so much to your videos.
Kenny has a calm, soothing delivery that is just the perfect antidote for all the chaos and upheaval in society these days. Your effort in producing these videos is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
No offense… but turn off your tv. They want to cause The People to have anxiety and depression, don’t let them.
@@0004612 There is so much noise going on in the world right now. I had to step away from a lot of the comedy / journalism talking head shows.
What a beautiful spot, as always thanks for sharing , I know it’s lot of work making these videos, but it is much appreciated. Nice to watch Toby grow into such a great companion for you.🎅
“I covered in Deet and bug guts.” Living the dream in MN!
That sandwich does look amazing.
Hi Kenny,
Your channel has really grown the last couple years. Happy for you.
Windy lake has some nice walleyes when you camp this fall.
Have a great week
Another great video thanks. Even when it rains you make it a positive experience. So many of us appreciate how you show us a great adventure no matter the obstacle not even the weather. Thanks to you and Toby.
Thank you for your beautiful videos of fiercely beautiful nature 🌻
Sweet Toby has really grown!
Hi kenny❤&Toby❤, I hope you both are well and your family❤. This is another awesome video. Please give Toby a hug. Thank you, Dan❤
I so love your truck camper, so cozy and functional. It's always a great day when I see a notification that you have posted a new video. Take care, travel safe. Toby is growing so fast, he is a sweetheart 😊
Thank you so much!
Toby is a true blessing. You won't find a better & loyal friend
Great video Kenny! Toby sure enjoys the camping trips.
Thanks for all the hard work you do making these videos, showing off our beautiful state. I love being in the RV during a rain storm❤❤
Thanks buddy for this weeks video
Chili in July - ok. Chilly in July-👍👍 Nice to have a cool break from this heat. Toby is the bestest boy, such a well mannered companion. He listens and never tells. Animals are great for mental and physical health. Sometimes you have to work for a camping spot but it's always worth it. Rain is great for sleeping unless you're in a tent. I thought of those folks as well. Another great spot to add to the list, enjoyed it. Thank you for taking us along, stay safe and GOD bless
Thank you for the comment.
Your videos are so calming! So peaceful! And your voice is so soothing! A beautiful way to reduce stress, combat turmoil or anything unsettling is to just put on a video of yours and watch! Everything seems soooooo much better after.
Glad to have you back,
Hope you enjoyed your much deserved time with your family.
Kenny, that bread toasted with the mayo would make Martha Stewart jealous. Im salivating, ill try that on my next outing.
Thank you so much for these relaxing videos, always enjoy your and Tobys adventures. He sure is a good boy, couldn't imagine camping without my good boy.
Safe travels
The Thunderclouds and relaxing music were enjoyable. Peaceful and Beautiful video 🔥
Toby is the goodest good boy ever ❤
Glad to see you’re back-congrats on your daughter’s graduation. We love your videos & seeing Toby We travel & camp with our Great Dane Fred so we appreciate your & Toby’s adventures.
The lake is so calm and beautiful. You and Toby should take a swim
My Tuesday is complete. Thanks Kenny. You have a good setup and a great camping partner. I a previous video you demonstrated Toby SIT AND STAY. Good training goes a long way for mans best friend. Still waiting for the Patreon Page though. People, myself included, would like to donate a couple of dollars for your videos.
Thanks! I agree that consistent training has made Toby more confident.
Dinner looked delicious. Nice calm weekend. Thank you for a nice time.
Thanks for sharing Toby with us. On Wednesday I lost my Buddy of 16 years. He wasn’t fond of camping, though he went. He was too prissy for dirt! lol. I sure miss him.
@marilyncote-miller8010 I'm so sorry to thst, losing a pet can be so hard. I hope the video helped take your mind off things for a bit.
Oh yay.. just settled down to watch❤
I love this channel
love all your adventures! Thank you for sharing 💜💜
Thank you, Kenny & Toby for an awesome video! Take care and stay safe!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️🐕❤️
Really enjoyed your journey. We'll just have to live vicariously through you. I think you spoiled us for a truck camper. We love your music selection. Just adds to the peaceful trip you bring us on each week. Thanks Kenny.
Awww I am so glad you got and liked the letter! Thank you for always taking us with ya!
It was awesome! I love it!!! Thank you so much😊
Another great video Kenny. Living the life I wish I could. Thanks!
Your persistence paid off in another great video Kenny & Toby!!
I’ve got to try to make it to Minnesota this year!
We will have a lake waiting for you.😅
We have a metal roof on our home, one of the very first in our area. I Love listening to everything from the leaves dripping their last few drops to a full-fledged storm with lightening, high winds and thunder that scares your sock off. Walnuts landing on the roof will wake us from a deep sleep. Stay away from the walnuts. They do make great stain for lumber. Take care, always. Oh , and if you want a pretty fire... add some copper tubing to the coals. I miss sitting around the campfire.
That was such a blessing to get you into a new one... hope you enjoy it and start catching some fish .... 😆 🤣 😂...
Yeah Toby! Happy eight months!
Those new gadgets are amazing, I wouldn't go into the wilderness without something like that. Making your adventures a lot safer, and bringing peace of mind to your loved ones. That's worth a million bucks to my family Thanks for this week's adventure. That Toby is one hell of a dog.
Wow you hit a gold mine with Toby. What a great dog!!!
I bought one of those sandwich irons for cooking on the campfire. So simple. After a while, camping gets to a place where being/doing simple is better.
I love you Toby
Thanks for the video! Love Toby!
Loved this..Toby is such a good boy..we lost our camping furbaby last week...safe travels and hug Toby for me
@shellyR7151 I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll give Toby big hugs for you.
@@KennyOfAllTrades 💜thank you
You are courteous to the max. Free firewood, yow! Good on ya! That lake looked way to calm.
So beautiful when it rains, relaxing love the video. Can’t wait to see the next one.
Wow what a great video they get better and better see you next week!
I and my Beagle love going camping .
Toby has gotten so big and beautiful. You really lucked out with his calm temperament.❤️🇨🇦
100% we looked at so many dogs before Toby came along. Mandi said she should get a part-time job at the shelter. The first time I saw Toby, I could see something special in him. You could see in his eyes that things were connecting in his brain.
Toby is such a great dog ❤video was great like always and that bacon 🥓 and turkey n cheese yummy 😋 😊until your next adventure stay safe and god bless you my friend
🙏❤️✌🏼
Thank you Kenny. You are a highlight in my week. I loved you before Toby but I’m glad you have his company and now love him too. Thank you again.
That's so kind of you!
Good weekend Kenny, thanks for sharing! 🤙🏽
Awesome awesome your footage with the music and scenery is Like a fine wine and an expensive steak. Thanks again Kenny !!! See you guys Tuesday. 🐕 🏕️ 🔥 🌳
