We're also glad to hear you are feeling much better, never a good thing when you're sick. We were just talking yesterday about not seeing an update from you, we watch your videos religiously, me and you 12 year old boy. We love the beautiful scenery, all the facts and info that you share. These videos of yours are a pretty positive thing for us, in a world that seems to be getting darker and more unfriendly each day. Unknowingly you've become a part of our little family Kenny, you keep the videos coming when you're able to. Thank you from William and Cole, Parke County Indiana and blessings to you and yours.
That is one of the best comment I have ever got! I absolutely love it. I so glad you are enjoying the videos! You guys be safe and we will see you next week!
Your a human being entitled to be sick like anyone else. Your content inspires and brings peace for alot of people who can't get to their dream outdoor spot. Thank you brother.
Wow! U truly found your spot; didn't ya. Mmmm supper looks good. Hey! U can tell them u lost the big one. My uncle Kenny use to say that then he'd spread his arms about 14". He's passed away 4 yrs ago.Miss him so much. I use to fish with him all the time.
Thats awesome! I also enjoy watching many different channels. One thing I like about smaller channels is the people are easier to relate with. Often times when a channel gets 500k views per video the person loses their relatability. The lifestyle starts looking Hollywood. Not in all cases...but some.
Truck Camper Compadre Here Glad You're Feeling Better ! Without Our Health, We Have Nothing !! Fishing Is And Always Will Be Great Therapy 🎣 Soothes The Soul ☺️ These Days Zeroing In On A Good/Epic Campsite Is Definitely A Crap Shoot. Ya Win Some, Ya Lose Some. Unfortunately Some People Can't/Don't Pick Up And Pack Out Their Trash/Debris. Unexcusable !! Waiting For That Catch & Cook Episode ! It's Around The Corner 🤞 Love Your Commitment & Tenacity Whilst Creating The Outstanding Content For Myself And Your Subscribers !! You're Rockin It Kenny ✌️
I aways enjoy reading your comments! Maybe this weekend I'll land a keeper. Minnesota is home to the worlds largest open pit mine. I think i might check it out. I looked today and found some National Forestery lands nearby. I think it could be a cool video.
I WISH!! I would still make videos though....you'll know if you ever see I'm not holding the camera. In that case, I did win the lottery and hired a crew to record, we would also travel a little further from home. But don't expect to see a different camper or truck. That thing is my second home, I absolutely love the old Arctic Fox.
Enjoyed the 300 point turnaround. I once did that in the forest with my Sunlite pickup camper. Punched a hole in it from a branch. Did not even know I did it till I got home. Turned out an easy fix and a perfect place for my NRA sticker. Take care!
Well from what you were saying & seeing from the first campground No Wonder there was so many access closed signs at the other one. So many idjits ruining such precious areas no wonder so many of our Public Lands are being closed. ps I find wadding up some bread gets some good catches from docks. People love feeding bread to birds & fish love what the birds miss. Have you thought of carrying a small tarp on the bike to set up at a site instead of rushing & hoping nobody else snags it? Glad you're feeling better. Well all the cuts from editing comes in handy for those weeks you aren't able to get out. Thanks for taking us along.
There was a large area on the lake that was used as a campground. Big boulders are now blocking the roads and the "no camping" signs went up.. I think you are right, a lot of this forest is getting closed off because of people trashing it.
Glad you are feeling better Kenny. You were so close to catching that fish I thought for sure the streak was over. Have a great week and I will be looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks Peat. The camper has a lot of years on it and the truck is comming up on 200 thousand, but I love them.I bet the camper has been in the bed for at least 70,000 miles.
Brother I started worrying about you a few days ago. I thought, I wondered if he died and went to heaven? I'm glad you beat whatever was alien you and your back! One day your actually going to catch a decent fish and cook it over your campfire. Talk about a channel celebration when that happens. Glad your back. Take care and safe travels.
I think that's part of the fun, exploring the two tracks and dirt roads trying to fine that perfect spot. Even if you sometimes don't fine THE spot, it's still a great experience. Keep trucking Kenny.
Thanks for your commitment. I'm dealing with health issues that have caused insomnia for the last month & your relaxing videos keep me company until I can finally fall asleep.
Missed you man. Yes life is a lesson, live and learn as we go. Thanks for sharing this video. I did my maiden voyage with my truck camper drove to Kentucky, had a blast boondocking at Cracker barrels along the way. Till next week, As always stay safe and healthy.
Kenny glad to see your back out in the camper. I too was missing your videos and was hoping you didn't get covid. These are definitely the best ones on you tube. You crack me up about the fishing I can relate. Love all the lakes wish we had more in my state.
Glad to see your feeling better. Too bad about the fishing, but that littering sign pretty much says it all. It's getting to be about time for another steak !
The best steak by far was that one from the little butcher shop in Iowa. It was amazing. My mouth is watering thinking about it....I will definitely have to find a butcher shop in my area to do a comparison.
I was thinking the same. I rolled into Pine River and was stopped at a stop light. I needed to go left to get into the state forest.....something said go right. The park was only a few blocks from the stop light. That was a really nice unexpected stop.
Thanks. It was good to be in the camper again. I missed it. The smile on my face when I came across that city park was genuine. Those are the little things I love comming across in my travels. It was a nice unexpected surprise.
Do you have fireproof fingers? I see you carry things right off the fire or pull out of the oven. 😜 my hubby is a baker & he’s similar! Amazing videos!
It sucked, at first I thought it was just a sinus infection. But it hit me hard. Mandi says it's a guy thing, always thinking were dying from a little cold. Lol
Hey Kenny, another great video man I have started at the beginning watching all your videos and enjoy every single one I’m catching up with you I hope you don’t ever feel pressured to try to make one every weekend I have gone back and re-watched ones that I really really like of course I like them all you’re awesome man Tim from Raleigh NC
Thanks Tim. It does get overwhelming at times trying to push out weekly videos. I have been having a heck of a time recording today. Hopefully I will have a video for Tuesday. I know it won't ruin my channel to miss a week...but trying to satisfy UA-cams algorithm can be exhausting.
I am heading to MN in a few weeks, so I will be checking these places out! I love to fish etc...so thank you for sharing! Happy your feeling better! Take care! 👍🤗
Minnesota is full of wonderful spots. I think it's easier to find dispersed camping in the northern half. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite part of the state...its really pretty all over.
It's a small world...the gas station in town has Velkommen on the doors. It celebrates the Norwegian history of the area...unless that's not Norwegian, then I'm an idiot. Lol
@@KennyOfAllTrades Your correct, its Norwegian, Your not an idiot 😆😆 actually norge/norway is alot like Minnesota, guess thats why your nfl team is called the vikings
I was wondering what was going on, because I didn't get any "Kenny" videos and that was so HORRIBLE!! 😣 I am so sorry that you were sick 🤒 😝 😖 😩 my friend!! I sure hope that you are feeling better now!! 🤗 🤗 🤗 DON'T get sick anymore Kenny, it's lonely on the Internet without you!! 😉 Your friend, Didi 👋 🌲 🌬 🏞 🚙
Welcome back, you were missed by many. Glad to see you doing well. It is so sad when people do not respect nature and leave their junk in the woods. That spot does have your name on it and a pretty view of the water too. We thought you had that fish...🎣 Fred laughs at me because I get weirded out with that number. Liked the reasons that people litter sign. Have a great week. Mary💕Fred
That was a great sign. I was surprised with the amount of trash...it seems to have a direct relation to the amount of empty beer cans laying on yhe road. This is definitely a party spot. Thanks for watching and leaving so many great comments.
Well, Spider Lake is a great place to relax and recover from being sick. My husband and I have been going there ( to ride our quads and now side by side!) for over 20 years now. We were both trying to tell you through the tv where to go and where the nice dispersed campsites were. Yes a bit noisy during the day but oh the nights are so dark and beautiful!
I've been to some nice spots off Bull Moose trail, and last week's video was not to far from Spider Lake. We're you able to recognize the location of the last video? It would be close. I'm gonna be heading back to that area in the morning. I figure I'll leave around 6. I've got a few spots pinned. You will have to see if you recognize the location on this coming Tuesday.
"im not superstitious at all, but i wouldn't have my house be that number... Etc..". Funny how superstitions have been around for thousands of years and yet still continue, seems to be some sort of weight to that. Thoughts? A Fellow Minnesotan
So my thoughts are....I like to believe I'm in control of my own destiny, things like karma and superstition are actually happenstance.....but.....im not about to piss off, or tempt fate......so deep down, I guess I do believe in those things. But on the surface I'll say I'm in control. I don't know......does that make any sense?
@@KennyOfAllTrades i understand what you mean. Maybe our conscious is what shapes and/or leads our destiny's path. Feels like there is some energy/tension or lack there of depending on your actions in life. Also i can say it depends on the experiences you have had personally, paranormal/divine that can have the most impact on my beliefs. And ive heard and seen first hand cats sense good people over bad, kinda interesting just for everyday life of something we actually interact with. ? I appreciate you sharing, kinda personal but im always trying to learn. 🤝
I'm right there with you! It's a deep conversation that could be shared around a campfire while looking at the stars. It's always good to remember that life, our world, its so much bigger then we are able to understand. My dad and I would have conversation about life, spirits, aliens, and everything in-between. As he passed away a few year ago I reminded him of our conversations. I told him he was going to find some answers on his next journey. I asked him to share some secrets with me one day. I'm still waiting for that conversation, but I know he's watching. So I guess I do believe...or at least I'm hopping for something bigger then us.
@@KennyOfAllTrades i believe he is watching or some part of his energy. Hasn't needed to intervene in your life so maybe that's a good thing. Enjoy having those conversations with my mother currently. What a great feeling being able to connect with a parent to openly explore those things, its a rare thing Kenny. Had a great experience after my grandpa passed, grew up with him around alot, he is who I base my personality and kindness from. I have lived in one noisey house and did see one shadow once Kenny. Not sure what to think of them of course but certainly more things happening than we can always see ans or hear. Maybe we need to call a bigfoot in together one night around camp and share a story. 🤝. Appreciate your time and energy you give to the world, its very enjoyable and i know its not really ever easy.
Happy to see back in the saddle and on the mend my friend. Your health and well being should always take precedence over getting videos out. We have patience and can wait, so never feel pressured to make a deadline; we’ll understand. If you’re ever looking for a side gig, heard rumor State Farm is looking to replace the ole fisherman in their commercials…”Oooh you almost had it!” Lol I keep thinking (and hoping and praying) every week, today is the day, today is the day, today is the day Kenny lands the big one! 🐠 🐟 🎣 All those days in your youth years with your friends casting washers paid off…you’re one helluva good caster! 😝 😂 Next week…I feel it, next week you’re gonna land one!!! 🤞🏻
Dang, did you have a hidden army somewhere? That's a lot of weenies....yeah, I'm late to the show, just found your channel 3 days ago and trying to catch up. Now, I have a new top 2 channel list, you and Steve Wallis.......ok, gotta go, got some bingeing to do.
That's awesome. I really appreciate you checking out the older videos. You will see I always cook a lot on Saturdays. That way I have lunch at work all week long. That's the life of a Batchelor.
Thanks, I figured it would help with the story I'm trying to tell. I really try to make it feel like you are following along on these weekend adventures. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Being a little sick ain't no excuse! I had pneumonia on the Gunnison River a couple of summers back. Stayed there for a week, and the only time I left the camper was to go to the doctor. The pollen was so bad, the doctor forbade me to be wandering around outside breathing it in. The campsite was great, the view was wonderful, and the TV was the same thing as back home in Houston. Sometimes it happens...
I enjoy your videos. Spider lake is the closest lake to my house. I have fished it often. Caught walleye, northern, and crappie. Never tried for bass but it looks like you had one on. The campsite you stayed at is one of two right on the water. Surprised you found it open on Saturday in July. The other one is where you commented on a nice car. The place where several trailers were parked is a parking lot for a beautiful sand beach swimming area. There is a vault toilet there too. If you had taken the fork that goes north it comes out on hwy 2. There are several campsites along that road. This used to be a completely unsupervised area. Teenagers with 4 wheelers would camp here and ride all over the area, not just the trails. Posted signs are to keep that from happening. There are miles of trails and forest roads that you can ride on. It does make for a noisy place to camp. I think you are correct about the folks camped at Cut and Deep lakes.I've run into this at many free campsites. You know they have been there too long when the grass under the tent is dead. You need to find a way to bring a boat with you and do more fishing.
I've done some sucker spearing directly on the other side of the bridge (the road) at the beginning of this video. There's a slanted tree that hangs over the water where a bunch of teens were using bows and putting in some pretty good work. I miss that area. Not the winters so much but the lack of people (and the people I know there) for sure
This part of Minnesota hasent changed much over the years. Hwy 10 has changed the look of a few towns...but not much. I think if you came back you'd see not much has changed here. I think it's cool you recognize these places.
I have been so sad the last 2 weeks… I looked forward to Tuesday night videos. I’m glad you are feeling better. Keep the videos coming. I’m not sure why you can’t catch fish on video?? I have seen you catch many fish… but it’s funny…
Heres hoping your luck changes for fishing, i enjoy it even if i don't catch anything i think this video is the first time you actually hooked anything its too bad you didn't land it that would have been a nice meal treat for you
I'm going out this weekend, the plan is to have fish tacos. I hope to find a nice little spot all alone on a lake up north. I know I'm pushing my luck being Memorial Day weekend and all.
These r such cooool videos of MN. I just found you, yesterday. I live in mpls and I try to find parks within 2 hrs of the cities to take my dogs and do some hiking in the spring, summer and fall. My favorite park in mn so far. Is minneopa down by Mankato. It has a heard of Buffalo at that park.
I have a video there. It was a beautiful park. I got some bike riding in. I didn't realize it was the first day the campground opened, so there were only 2 other campers. I went on a hike and walked around an old house up on a hill. I would love to wake up their in the mornings with the view! ua-cam.com/video/FOK5-CQbXRw/v-deo.html
@@KennyOfAllTrades 🤣 I like how you said later in the vid “I really want to park next to the lake to fish…I don’t know why though because I never catch anything” Also, has your phone been on the fritz? I’ve tried to contact you several times and never got any response.
Also also, around 26:45, that was a beautiful time lapse and transition. I really need to upgrade to better editing software than my basic iMovie that came with my computer for scenes like that! Well done.
Thanks, I really appreciate hearing that from another content maker. Sometimes it's easier to appreciate others work when you know how much time it can take. I watch Dustin Porter with Destination Adventure and I'm blowen away by the content he makes on his go pro 9 and Sony A6600. His editing skills are on another level.
Glad to see you back and feeling better! Looks like the bugs are constant, but I see you leave your door open, does that pose a problem? It took some effort, but you found another great spot and the time lapse was beautiful. Thanks so much for putting in the effort and time of posting your videos, I certainly look forward to them each week!
Thanks! This was the first week where I was mosquitoe free. The horse and deer Flys were crazy though. For some odd reason the deer Flys don't come inside the camper. This was the first time in months I left the door open, it felt great too!
Right! I was unsure of the direction for videos when I first started. It was easy to see people wanted to watch truck camper videos....so that's the direction I took. Mandi and I have talked about implementing a more appropriate name for the channel.
Ok so missing putting out a vid if your sick isn’t a big deal, really! Why? Because knowing you were just at these places n this is what they look like right now!, is way more appealing to me. Think about it huh,… “oh gee so this is what is was like 2 months ago! hmm, only I can’t relate cause i don’t remember what the weather was doing then?”….yeah you’ve said it to yourself too when watching others who post a vid weeks later or months later. So imo, your right on track! 👍🏻. And recite the old star trek theme, that’s your mission! lol. 🍻
What do you do for work? I am a RAN engineer ( Radio access network) I watch the performance of cell sites for KY/TN/GA/SC for a major cellular company. Hope you have good cell service there. Great video!
Thanks Todd. I was using the high boost cell booster on this trip. I installed it a month ago. I'm pritty satisfied with the performance. I work for the State's Department of Public Safety.
I use Google Maps and OnX to scout out public land to camp on. I haven't found much west of Park Rapids. I have seen some lager Wild Refuges north of DL. But in my past experiences, I find a lot of "no overnight camping" signs at them. I'll have to drive that area and see what's available. I don't believe I've ever been on Long Lake outside of Vergas.
Make sure to watch tonight's video. I was not expecting to find multiple lake side campsites.... but I did. There is no doubt, I'm seeing more people dispersed camping this year than ever before.
I didn't tie on the frog this trip. I was using a crayfish and plastic log with #2 hook. I hook a Texas rig so it's weedless. I should have thrown on a frog or mouse in the Lillys. Nothing more exciting then a top water explosion. Next time!
its so sad to see nature trashed by people who dont respect the land and wildlife that live there. Finding places that are nowhere near humans is getting very difficult
What word is it? I'll fix it when I get home. I asked Google how to spell Coordinates......I am horrible at spelling! DANG IT! I just saw it! Thanks for the heads up!
Your illness event reminds me of getting bit by mosquitoes in South Duhkota. Infected mosquitoes, that I opened the patio door and instantly closed - and 10 got in. They looked like the spaceship in 2001 Space Odyssey - huge bloated head and skinny body. They would literally fly into and hit you (whaddaf ?!) - "I must bite you, I must bite you." Well for ~2 weeks the same tetanus-like muscle aches from toe muscles to scalp, couldn't move without pain to fingers, hands, arms, feet, legs, body, neck, ears, eyes, .... Now I can hear mosquitoes nearly 10 feet away from me (even in a deep sleep quickly awake and slapping anything that makes a twitch on my body - even a hair movement - awake and slapping ! Oh - and its only female mosquitoes, gnats, no-see-ums that bite - males only fly around for sex. Same for female ants, female honey bees, ...probably same female biting horse flies.
I hope you never start making videos ahead. When the seasons change, it gets weird. On of the great things about your channel is it feels like we are part of the trip, and that is lost when the video is old.
Thanks, I appreciate the comment, and I completely agree with you. I was watching UA-cam last night, and one of the regular channels released a new video. During the video, he showed the Santa Parade going through town. It really stood out because Christmas was 4 months ago. Don't get me wrong, I wish I had a bank of videos built up for emergencies, but it's nice to show you guys on Tuesday what we were doing Saturday.
We're also glad to hear you are feeling much better, never a good thing when you're sick. We were just talking yesterday about not seeing an update from you, we watch your videos religiously, me and you 12 year old boy. We love the beautiful scenery, all the facts and info that you share.

That guy pulling firewood in a Lincoln = Boss
He's getting it done!
I subscribed to your channel yesterday, and that might not have happened if Kenny hadn't sent me your way.
You are the reason I like youtube. better luck with fishing

Dang Kenny that IS a good looking 👀 truck!!!
Great video Ken. Glad your feeling better.
Quality entertainment on Tuesday evenings is back!
I don't know how it ended up being Tuesdays, but it seems to work.
“Kenny” carved into the picnic table definitely seems like it was meant for you. Glad that you are feeling better. Take care. Safe travels
That was so cool! I love finding stuff like that. I mean I don't like seeing damage. But it's fun finding your initials.
Truck Camper Compadre Here
Glad You're Feeling Better !
Without Our Health, We Have Nothing !!
Fishing Is And Always Will Be Great Therapy 🎣
Soothes The Soul ☺️
These Days Zeroing In On A Good/Epic Campsite Is Definitely A Crap Shoot.
Ya Win Some, Ya Lose Some.
Unfortunately Some People Can't/Don't Pick Up And Pack Out Their Trash/Debris.
Unexcusable !!
Waiting For That Catch & Cook Episode !
It's Around The Corner 🤞
Love Your Commitment & Tenacity Whilst Creating The Outstanding Content For Myself And Your Subscribers !!
You're Rockin It Kenny ✌️
I aways enjoy reading your comments! Maybe this weekend I'll land a keeper. Minnesota is home to the worlds largest open pit mine. I think i might check it out. I looked today and found some National Forestery lands nearby. I think it could be a cool video.
He's back!!!!!! Looking forward to watching it tonight. Welcome back
Withdrawal symptoms are over glad to see you back in the camper and feeling better
That's Awesome lol. Thanks!
Anyone notice the banjo music was on point.
So glad you are ok. I thought maybe you won the lottery and became a multimillionaire. Love your video.
I WISH!! I would still make videos though....you'll know if you ever see I'm not holding the camera. In that case, I did win the lottery and hired a crew to record, we would also travel a little further from home. But don't expect to see a different camper or truck.

So close! The streak continues....
Your a good man / Charlie Brown.!!!!!!
That is a good looking truck Kenny..welcome back !
Thanks Peat. The camper has a lot of years on it and the truck is comming up on 200 thousand, but I love them.I bet the camper has been in the bed for at least 70,000 miles.
You were blocks from our house at the dam! Wish I would have been walking by. Thanks for the videos, glad you are feeling better 😀
Thats awesome! So far I've never been recognized from the videos. The bakery in your town is great!
Brother I started worrying about you a few days ago. I thought, I wondered if he died and went to heaven? I'm glad you beat whatever was alien you and your back!
One day your actually going to catch a decent fish and cook it over your campfire. Talk about a channel celebration when that happens. Glad your back. Take care and safe travels.
That makes me laugh. It will definitely be a milestone for the channel.
Kenny thank you for the videos. I have a Lance camper. I need to find free camping spots. for the fall. Your friend Dan.
Fall is my favorite time of year to be in the camper. I was day dreaming about it today.
I think that's part of the fun, exploring the two tracks and dirt roads trying to fine that perfect spot. Even if you sometimes don't fine THE spot, it's still a great experience. Keep trucking Kenny.
Hey Kenny, no worries, Life Happens. I'm also glad you're feeling better. Missed you the last couple of weeks.
Safe travels.
Thanks Jeff, much appreciated 👍
Boondocking is always best if possible. Great searching. Giant lakes in that area too.
I agree, hopefully this week I can find another one. So far I've been getting lucky.
Thanks for your commitment. I'm dealing with health issues that have caused insomnia for the last month & your relaxing videos keep me company until I can finally fall asleep.
Sorry man, not being able to sleep would probably drive me insane. That's got to be tuff. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the videos.
Missed you man. Yes life is a lesson, live and learn as we go. Thanks for sharing this video. I did my maiden voyage with my truck camper drove to Kentucky, had a blast boondocking at Cracker barrels along the way. Till next week, As always stay safe and healthy.
Right on! Life is flying by too. I hope to one day find a way to stop living for the weekend.
@@KennyOfAllTrades couldn't agree more must find a Way to stop this madness and slow down life and enjoy what's left.
Good stuff! I like watching these. Catching up
Awesome, thank you!
Kenny glad to see your back out in the camper. I too was missing your videos and was hoping you didn't get covid. These are definitely the best ones on you tube. You crack me up about the fishing I can relate. Love all the lakes wish we had more in my state.
It felt good to be back in the camper. I must have picked up a fishing curse somewhere along the way.
Lol it's better than work
Glad to see your feeling better. Too bad about the fishing, but that littering sign pretty much says it all. It's getting to be about time for another steak !
The best steak by far was that one from the little butcher shop in Iowa. It was amazing. My mouth is watering thinking about it....I will definitely have to find a butcher shop in my area to do a comparison.
I'm glad you're feeling better. It is nice to see new content when you make it.
27:50 Agreed, that IS awesome!!! Loved it.
Love how you pick the perfect songs for your videos. Great job Kenny.
Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback.
Sorry to hear you were sick. Glad you are feeling better. You definitely were missed.
😊
Good to see you back..... Good stuff.....
Thanks
Appreciate the videos. Your channel is the only TC channel I’ve found that I like.
Thanks, I'm glad you like the content!
Glad your feeling better Ken, Thank you for another great video
Glad you're feeling better enjoy your videos
Thanks Kevin!
Great when you start the video with a line in the water🤙/ glad your feeling better
I was thinking the same. I rolled into Pine River and was stopped at a stop light. I needed to go left to get into the state forest.....something said go right. The park was only a few blocks from the stop light. That was a really nice unexpected stop.
We’re all glad you’re feeling better and we think your fishing luck will change soon
Thanks, I hope my luck changes. It would be nice to cook fish for super some night.
Happy your feeling better life’s good when we are healthy Nice camping spot Kenny Morey’s in Motley got your fish ha
Morey's is plan B.......
I just some some new plastics to try. We will see what happens this weekend.
Great to see you back on the road Kenny!! Great video as always
Thanks. It was good to be in the camper again. I missed it. The smile on my face when I came across that city park was genuine. Those are the little things I love comming across in my travels. It was a nice unexpected surprise.
Do you have fireproof fingers? I see you carry things right off the fire or pull out of the oven. 😜 my hubby is a baker & he’s similar!
Amazing videos!
Wow! Sounds like you got hit hard with a bug. Darn. Take care.
It sucked, at first I thought it was just a sinus infection. But it hit me hard. Mandi says it's a guy thing, always thinking were dying from a little cold. Lol
Hey Kenny, another great video man I have started at the beginning watching all your videos and enjoy every single one I’m catching up with you I hope you don’t ever feel pressured to try to make one every weekend I have gone back and re-watched ones that I really really like of course I like them all you’re awesome man Tim from Raleigh NC
Thanks Tim. It does get overwhelming at times trying to push out weekly videos. I have been having a heck of a time recording today. Hopefully I will have a video for Tuesday. I know it won't ruin my channel to miss a week...but trying to satisfy UA-cams algorithm can be exhausting.
Glad your back and feeling better.
Thanks Robert
glad you are back. So great watching you find the awesome spots to camp and fish. You were missed.
Thanks John, I really appreciate that!
I am heading to MN in a few weeks, so I will be checking these places out! I love to fish etc...so thank you for sharing!
Happy your feeling better! Take care! 👍🤗
Minnesota is full of wonderful spots. I think it's easier to find dispersed camping in the northern half. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite part of the state...its really pretty all over.
Cool. . . glad to see your up and about, . . lets get this journey started
THANKS!
@@KennyOfAllTrades Velkommen/welcome
It's a small world...the gas station in town has Velkommen on the doors. It celebrates the Norwegian history of the area...unless that's not Norwegian, then I'm an idiot. Lol
@@KennyOfAllTrades Your correct, its Norwegian, Your not an idiot 😆😆 actually norge/norway is alot like Minnesota, guess thats why your nfl team is called the vikings
Yup, it's really prevalent in Northern Minnesota. People are proud of their heritage.
I was wondering what was going on, because I didn't get any "Kenny" videos and that was so HORRIBLE!! 😣
I am so sorry that you were sick 🤒 😝 😖 😩 my friend!!
I sure hope that you are feeling better now!! 🤗 🤗 🤗
DON'T get sick anymore Kenny, it's lonely on the Internet without you!! 😉
Your friend,
Didi 👋
🌲 🌬 🏞 🚙
Always an enjoyable video Thank you Kenny
Thanks!
Welcome back, you were missed by many. Glad to see you doing well. It is so sad when people do not respect nature and leave their junk in the woods. That spot does have your name on it and a pretty view of the water too. We thought you had that fish...🎣 Fred laughs at me because I get weirded out with that number. Liked the reasons that people litter sign. Have a great week. Mary💕Fred
That was a great sign. I was surprised with the amount of trash...it seems to have a direct relation to the amount of empty beer cans laying on yhe road. This is definitely a party spot. Thanks for watching and leaving so many great comments.
Well, Spider Lake is a great place to relax and recover from being sick. My husband and I have been going there ( to ride our quads and now side by side!) for over 20 years now.
We were both trying to tell you through the tv where to go and where the nice dispersed campsites were.
Yes a bit noisy during the day but oh the nights are so dark and beautiful!
I've been to some nice spots off Bull Moose trail, and last week's video was not to far from Spider Lake. We're you able to recognize the location of the last video? It would be close. I'm gonna be heading back to that area in the morning. I figure I'll leave around 6. I've got a few spots pinned. You will have to see if you recognize the location on this coming Tuesday.
Great video, glad that you’re feeling better and dang Kenny get some more sun on those feet.
👍✌️
Haha. That the first time in years my toes have seen the sun.
"im not superstitious at all, but i wouldn't have my house be that number... Etc..". Funny how superstitions have been around for thousands of years and yet still continue, seems to be some sort of weight to that. Thoughts? A Fellow Minnesotan
So my thoughts are....I like to believe I'm in control of my own destiny, things like karma and superstition are actually happenstance.....but.....im not about to piss off, or tempt fate......so deep down, I guess I do believe in those things.
But on the surface I'll say I'm in control.
I don't know......does that make any sense?
@@KennyOfAllTrades i understand what you mean. Maybe our conscious is what shapes and/or leads our destiny's path. Feels like there is some energy/tension or lack there of depending on your actions in life. Also i can say it depends on the experiences you have had personally, paranormal/divine that can have the most impact on my beliefs. And ive heard and seen first hand cats sense good people over bad, kinda interesting just for everyday life of something we actually interact with. ? I appreciate you sharing, kinda personal but im always trying to learn. 🤝
I'm right there with you! It's a deep conversation that could be shared around a campfire while looking at the stars. It's always good to remember that life, our world, its so much bigger then we are able to understand. My dad and I would have conversation about life, spirits, aliens, and everything in-between. As he passed away a few year ago I reminded him of our conversations. I told him he was going to find some answers on his next journey. I asked him to share some secrets with me one day. I'm still waiting for that conversation, but I know he's watching. So I guess I do believe...or at least I'm hopping for something bigger then us.
@@KennyOfAllTrades i believe he is watching or some part of his energy. Hasn't needed to intervene in your life so maybe that's a good thing. Enjoy having those conversations with my mother currently. What a great feeling being able to connect with a parent to openly explore those things, its a rare thing Kenny. Had a great experience after my grandpa passed, grew up with him around alot, he is who I base my personality and kindness from. I have lived in one noisey house and did see one shadow once Kenny. Not sure what to think of them of course but certainly more things happening than we can always see ans or hear. Maybe we need to call a bigfoot in together one night around camp and share a story. 🤝. Appreciate your time and energy you give to the world, its very enjoyable and i know its not really ever easy.
Beautiful thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks
Happy to see back in the saddle and on the mend my friend. Your health and well being should always take precedence over getting videos out. We have patience and can wait, so never feel pressured to make a deadline; we’ll understand.
If you’re ever looking for a side gig, heard rumor State Farm is looking to replace the ole fisherman in their commercials…”Oooh you almost had it!” Lol
I keep thinking (and hoping and praying) every week, today is the day, today is the day, today is the day Kenny lands the big one! 🐠 🐟 🎣
All those days in your youth years with your friends casting washers paid off…you’re one helluva good caster! 😝 😂
Next week…I feel it, next week you’re gonna land one!!! 🤞🏻
Lol....next week for sure! I swear at one time I was a good fisherman! I lost my edge...
Dang, did you have a hidden army somewhere? That's a lot of weenies....yeah, I'm late to the show, just found your channel 3 days ago and trying to catch up. Now, I have a new top 2 channel list, you and Steve Wallis.......ok, gotta go, got some bingeing to do.
That's awesome. I really appreciate you checking out the older videos. You will see I always cook a lot on Saturdays. That way I have lunch at work all week long. That's the life of a Batchelor.
❤️
Hi Kenny, I really enjoy seeing the maps in your presentations. We’ve never been to MN to know where you are at any given point. Maps are so cool!
Thanks, I figured it would help with the story I'm trying to tell. I really try to make it feel like you are following along on these weekend adventures. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Being a little sick ain't no excuse! I had pneumonia on the Gunnison River a couple of summers back. Stayed there for a week, and the only time I left the camper was to go to the doctor. The pollen was so bad, the doctor forbade me to be wandering around outside breathing it in. The campsite was great, the view was wonderful, and the TV was the same thing as back home in Houston. Sometimes it happens...
I enjoy your videos. Spider lake is the closest lake to my house. I have fished it often. Caught walleye, northern, and crappie. Never tried for bass but it looks like you had one on. The campsite you stayed at is one of two right on the water. Surprised you found it open on Saturday in July. The other one is where you commented on a nice car. The place where several trailers were parked is a parking lot for a beautiful sand beach swimming area. There is a vault toilet there too. If you had taken the fork that goes north it comes out on hwy 2. There are several campsites along that road.
This used to be a completely unsupervised area. Teenagers with 4 wheelers would camp here and ride all over the area, not just the trails. Posted signs are to keep that from happening. There are miles of trails and forest roads that you can ride on. It does make for a noisy place to camp.
I think you are correct about the folks camped at Cut and Deep lakes.I've run into this at many free campsites. You know they have been there too long when the grass under the tent is dead.
You need to find a way to bring a boat with you and do more fishing.
That would of been a great place for a kayak nice video beautiful state
I've done some sucker spearing directly on the other side of the bridge (the road) at the beginning of this video. There's a slanted tree that hangs over the water where a bunch of teens were using bows and putting in some pretty good work.
I miss that area. Not the winters so much but the lack of people (and the people I know there) for sure
This part of Minnesota hasent changed much over the years. Hwy 10 has changed the look of a few towns...but not much. I think if you came back you'd see not much has changed here. I think it's cool you recognize these places.
I have been so sad the last 2 weeks… I looked forward to Tuesday night videos. I’m glad you are feeling better. Keep the videos coming. I’m not sure why you can’t catch fish on video?? I have seen you catch many fish… but it’s funny…
It's the video Gods......im bound to be the guy from Minnesota that can't catch a fish!!
Heres hoping your luck changes for fishing, i enjoy it even if i don't catch anything i think this video is the first time you actually hooked anything its too bad you didn't land it that would have been a nice meal treat for you
I'm going out this weekend, the plan is to have fish tacos. I hope to find a nice little spot all alone on a lake up north. I know I'm pushing my luck being Memorial Day weekend and all.
These r such cooool videos of MN. I just found you, yesterday. I live in mpls and I try to find parks within 2 hrs of the cities to take my dogs and do some hiking in the spring, summer and fall. My favorite park in mn so far. Is minneopa down by Mankato. It has a heard of Buffalo at that park.
I have a video there. It was a beautiful park. I got some bike riding in. I didn't realize it was the first day the campground opened, so there were only 2 other campers.
I went on a hike and walked around an old house up on a hill. I would love to wake up their in the mornings with the view!
ua-cam.com/video/FOK5-CQbXRw/v-deo.html
Don't worry Kenny, One day you will have a video titled Kenny catches a fish..lol
Lol...one day!
I could switch to leaches, but its so easy to use plastics. Plus going with live bait would feel like cheating at this point.
One day I hope to see you catch a fish 😆
Now there's just too much pressure and I can't perform.
@@KennyOfAllTrades 🤣 I like how you said later in the vid “I really want to park next to the lake to fish…I don’t know why though because I never catch anything”
Also, has your phone been on the fritz? I’ve tried to contact you several times and never got any response.
Also also, around 26:45, that was a beautiful time lapse and transition. I really need to upgrade to better editing software than my basic iMovie that came with my computer for scenes like that! Well done.
Thanks, I really appreciate hearing that from another content maker. Sometimes it's easier to appreciate others work when you know how much time it can take. I watch Dustin Porter with Destination Adventure and I'm blowen away by the content he makes on his go pro 9 and Sony A6600. His editing skills are on another level.
Thank you!😊
Thanks Kenny🎉
Glad to see you back and feeling better! Looks like the bugs are constant, but I see you leave your door open, does that pose a problem? It took some effort, but you found another great spot and the time lapse was beautiful. Thanks so much for putting in the effort and time of posting your videos, I certainly look forward to them each week!
Thanks! This was the first week where I was mosquitoe free. The horse and deer Flys were crazy though. For some odd reason the deer Flys don't come inside the camper. This was the first time in months I left the door open, it felt great too!
You should call your channel. Kenny further down the road 😂
Right! I was unsure of the direction for videos when I first started. It was easy to see people wanted to watch truck camper videos....so that's the direction I took. Mandi and I have talked about implementing a more appropriate name for the channel.
@@KennyOfAllTrades love the truck camper
Grew up in Pine River! Looks like they took the dam out but the swim area is still there.
The city did an awesome job with the new setup on the river.
I have friends from Pine River! Small world.
Ok so missing putting out a vid if your sick isn’t a big deal, really! Why? Because knowing you were just at these places n this is what they look like right now!, is way more appealing to me. Think about it huh,… “oh gee so this is what is was like 2 months ago! hmm, only I can’t relate cause i don’t remember what the weather was doing then?”….yeah you’ve said it to yourself too when watching others who post a vid weeks later or months later. So imo, your right on track! 👍🏻. And recite the old star trek theme, that’s your mission! lol. 🍻
Thanks.
I agree, it makes more sense to the viewers to not be months ahead.
What do you do for work? I am a RAN engineer ( Radio access network) I watch the performance of cell sites for KY/TN/GA/SC for a major cellular company. Hope you have good cell service there. Great video!
Thanks Todd. I was using the high boost cell booster on this trip. I installed it a month ago. I'm pritty satisfied with the performance. I work for the State's Department of Public Safety.
😂will you ever catch a fish lol enjoy your day
Love watching all of your vids. From MN here too. What camera do use to capture the over night stars? The stars are amazing
Thanks! I use a GoPro 10 to capture the time-lapse of the stars.
Do you ever visit Vergas MN or fished Long Lake outside Vergas?
I use Google Maps and OnX to scout out public land to camp on. I haven't found much west of Park Rapids. I have seen some lager Wild Refuges north of DL. But in my past experiences, I find a lot of "no overnight camping" signs at them. I'll have to drive that area and see what's available. I don't believe I've ever been on Long Lake outside of Vergas.
Really like your videos thanks. But FYI Two lbs bass never come off your hook..... 4lbs maybe but never two!!!
Grass isnt always greener on the other side of the fence!!
Very true. I've missed out before in search of something....
Kenny, I was wondering is your a/c unit 12 volt? Or do you have a generator ? Been checking out your fascinating videos!😊
Thanks. That is the 20 year old Colman Air conditioner original to the camper. It's only 120 volt.
im late to the video but in your opinon how impossible is it going to be for us to find a spot on a late friday night or early saturday
Make sure to watch tonight's video. I was not expecting to find multiple lake side campsites.... but I did. There is no doubt, I'm seeing more people dispersed camping this year than ever before.
Hope you are fishing with a frog or other weedless top water would be ideal. Just sayin’
I didn't tie on the frog this trip. I was using a crayfish and plastic log with #2 hook. I hook a Texas rig so it's weedless. I should have thrown on a frog or mouse in the Lillys. Nothing more exciting then a top water explosion. Next time!
its so sad to see nature trashed by people who dont respect the land and wildlife that live there. Finding places that are nowhere near humans is getting very difficult
Did you test for rona?
Yes. I refused to share my medical info with my employer during those years, so I was required to provide weekly spit tests. I was always negative.
@@KennyOfAllTrades good to know. I had it and it was like to described
There’s a major typo in your thumbnail text
What word is it? I'll fix it when I get home. I asked Google how to spell Coordinates......I am horrible at spelling!
DANG IT! I just saw it! Thanks for the heads up!
Got it taken care of, thanks for letting me know. I doubt I would have recognized the error.
BTW- that's called 'auto-release'... you meant to let that one go. Catch and auto-release.
Your illness event reminds me of getting bit by mosquitoes in South Duhkota. Infected mosquitoes, that I opened the patio door and instantly closed - and 10 got in. They looked like the spaceship in 2001 Space Odyssey - huge bloated head and skinny body. They would literally fly into and hit you (whaddaf ?!) - "I must bite you, I must bite you." Well for ~2 weeks the same tetanus-like muscle aches from toe muscles to scalp, couldn't move without pain to fingers, hands, arms, feet, legs, body, neck, ears, eyes, .... Now I can hear mosquitoes nearly 10 feet away from me (even in a deep sleep quickly awake and slapping anything that makes a twitch on my body - even a hair movement - awake and slapping !
Oh - and its only female mosquitoes, gnats, no-see-ums that bite - males only fly around for sex. Same for female ants, female honey bees, ...probably same female biting horse flies.
Great info! I had no idea about the male species not biting.
I hope you never start making videos ahead. When the seasons change, it gets weird. On of the great things about your channel is it feels like we are part of the trip, and that is lost when the video is old.
Thanks, I appreciate the comment, and I completely agree with you. I was watching UA-cam last night, and one of the regular channels released a new video. During the video, he showed the Santa Parade going through town. It really stood out because Christmas was 4 months ago.
Don't get me wrong, I wish I had a bank of videos built up for emergencies, but it's nice to show you guys on Tuesday what we were doing Saturday.
Glad to see you are much better
