Kenny it appears that Mandi has the knack for catching the fish :) I kept smiling with this one. Way to go Mandi!! It was fun having you join in the fun.
Many times while watching you tube videos we begin to get a bad feel or vibe if you will. At those times we simply click on a Kenny video and it brings us back down to earth, calms us down and we feel grounded again. So I just want to say, be kind, be honest and thank you. We'll see you on down the road
Wow, now that's a beautiful campsite. Glad to see that Mandy was able to make the trip with you, happy to see that she had a wonderful time. Oh Mandy, maybe you can give Kenny some fishing pointers, poor guy could really use the help...lol Blessings to you both, we're looking forward to your next video upload.
Lol, Thanks. It really was beautiful. I'm really happy Mandi made it with as well. Hopefully we can make more time together. Life's to short to be spent working all the time.
Hi Kenny and Mandi, you both remind me of when my Mom and Dad went fishing 🎣🎣🎣 but my Mom beat my Dad and he never took her again. When I got told about this story I said when I was about 10 years old when Dad had a day off I wanna go fishing with you Dad, and I got 22 tiddlers and he only caught 3, and I didn't go again he e never took me again which was ok, it just goes to show that the fish prefer ladies smell than men's, a friend said at the time perhaps the fish liked the smell of either our perfume or something that we was wearing scent wise to my Dad. My Dad when wasn't working always used to go fishing when not at work mostly the weekends. And won alot of matches, I have the memory of him looking so proud with all his fishing cups and trophies that I took as photo of, it's a pity I can't send you the photo. Thanks for sharing
Sometimes we try too hard to catch fish. Mandi’s got the touch though! Patience has its rewards in finding campsites and that is your gift, Kenny. The clarity of those lakes is really spectacular! Paper plates! You’re a man after my own heart! All that and some gorgeous stuffed peppers! Whoa! What a sunset to wrap up another great video. Thanks yet again. You guys be safe and have fun!
Truck Camper Compadre Here Minnesota... The Land Of 10,000 Lakes Without Any Fish To Be Caught ! Just Don't Try To Convince Mandi Of That !! You Heard It From Her... I'm Beatin Him ! 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 Hang In There, She'll Save A Couple For Ya 🎣 I Enjoy The Fact That You're Able/Willing To Tackle The Narrow/Skinny Trails Inorder To Find/Land That Epic Campsite!! I'm The Same Way And I've Got The Pinstripes On My TC To Show That I Prefer The Back Roads As Well. Dinner Looked Delicious 😋 Glad To See Mandi With You On This One ! I Can See The Joy In You That Her Presence Brings 🤗 Another Great Episode ✌️
Another amazing campsite. I can understand why Mandy was worried; that road looked questionable at best. But you did very well with it! Thanks for taking us along.
What a cool campsite! I was up that direction last week-Itasca State Park, Bemidji, Scenic State Park and drove through Grand Rapids on the way home. Beautiful up there!
Wow, what a beautiful site, and that sunset! So glad Mandi went with you, she definitely is the fish whisperer! Amazing how clear the water looks, by far the most beautiful site of your recent stays! Probably a good decision getting out of there before the rains hit, I'd imagine the climb back out would be much more gnarly in those wet areas. Can't wait for the next week's installment!
Thanks! im visiting Mandi right now, and we were talking about sites we want to visit again. So while you were watching the video, Mandi and I were talking about how much we liked that spot. Remind me again, do you live here in Minnesota? If so, I can email you the GPS coordinates. I don't want to put this spot online. My email is kennyofalltradeschannel@gmail.com
@@KennyOfAllTrades I actually live in Arizona but I am moving to Nebraska this summer. I would definitely be will to make a drive up to Minnesota for a spot like that!
Just seeing this now, but I'm from MN and I travel in a tiny house promaster van. I bought a Tucktec Kayak for just these situations. It's really cheap and fits the size of a travel golf bag. thanks for showing mn in a great light.
Good girl Mandi!!! 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 You make me PROUD, THANK YOU! But, Kenny, there are fish in this lake Mandi caught them all!!! 😆 😅 😄 😃😂 😁 😊 😉 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 LOL!! 😉
@@KennyOfAllTrades Oh Kenny, didn't you hear, they call that "GIRL POWER"! 😆 😅 😄 😃 😂 😁 😉 just kidding 😄 😉 Take care you guys, Keep On Camping! Your friend, Didi 👋 🐟 🐟 🐟 🐟
Hello Mandi! Hey Kenny I’m glad to see that you’re letting your feet get some sun and fresh air. Great drone shots showing the beautiful area you were in. 👍✌️
Always look forward to your Tuesday posts . That spot is the best yet . Mandi , you should get out with Kenny more often to keep him out of trouble boondocking . 😀
She always tells me how good she is at catching fish.... She has all her stories about growing up on a river and fishing every day..... She thinks she's better at fishing... I disagree, I'm just in a slump. Lol
I believe I commented on this one already 😆 🤣 😂 I was doing some Dyr for next week scouting with my bro. And this video came up. I have to say after re watching this one again out of all your video thus far this is got to be my favorite. I had to put winterize and put our camper away for the season this weekend. Now it's back to our Mini Van with a mattress for the rest of fall. We are actually going to scout out these locations next weekend. Bring a chain saw for limb removal if we get down some old logging trails. Debating if I should bring the 12 footer for a little fishing. Can't wait for this week's video
Have fun and be safe out there. The white caps were on the lake I found this weekend. But Adelle and I had a great time. I was up until 3 am editing the video. I hope everyone enjoys it.
Amazing video, beautiful campsite, what a great adventure, really enjoyed this episode with both of you fishing. oils on hands will effect the bait, treat the bait, the same way you'd set a trap for "kuna" (pine marten) leave absolutely no scent, have freshly washed hands with lake water and cast away 🎣
👍🏼🎣 Way to go Mandi! Looks like a catch and cook night to us, compliments of Mandi.🍳😉 What an amazing find for a camping spot.The views were amazing. We could sit there and watch the water over the campfire all evening. Did you know throwing dried herbs on the fire will help keep mosquitoes at bay? Lavender, sage, lemon balm, and mint. We use Lavender or sage the most. The peppers look awesome, will have to try your recipe for sure. It would be a hard to campsite to leave. Mary💕Fred
Man that looked like an Awesome weekend. Supper looked good, but I kept thinking about Mandis Panfish covered in cornmeal and fried in Peanut oil . Made me so hungry, I'm having Fish for Dinner. Excellent !
It's funny though......I have been fishing all my life. I've been in fishing leagues, been in many tournaments, I have always been able to catch fish.....this year though, I can't get a bit to save my life. It's not like I'm new to fishing, I've owned many boats and fish houses. I've been a fisherman my entire life... it's Minnesota, we have a lake every 5 miles in any direction around here. I cannot explain it.
Same here. Fished so much I kinda got out of it but was into saltwater last. Toss a HotnTot for largemouth if you get a chance. I think they still make shallow divers for shore fishing. I use to use a float tube to get into deeper water and drop offs. Requires getting wet though
Absolutely amazing Kenny!! All of the lakes in that area plus free camping right on the water. You may not be able to catch fish but you sure are reeling in some great campsites. Mandy did fantastic and I was so happy to see and hear her in the video. I hope she is starting to get more comfortable with the camera. I love seeing her reeling in the fish and letting you know how she was out fishing you. On a side note I finally caught some fish on Sunday. Just a few rock bass but it did help boost the confidence.
Thanks. It's funny that I once was jealous of people out west with all there BLM land. I had no clue there was so much free camping right under my nose. A year later and I have learned alot at reading maps and locating these jems.
The camper is almost 20 years old but still getting me out on the weekends. It I a 2004 Arctic Fox M860. That line was discontinued in 2005. It was replaced with the 811 model. My truck is a 2015 Silverado 3500 HD. There are so many different opinions on trucks and campers. Here is mine...... Buy what you can afford. If you have the money to buy an F-450 or F-550, that's great! I don't think I would ever say, " I wish I had a lighter payload capacity." My thinking was I wanted a truck and camper that would allow me to explore forest roads and find dispersed camping without having to work overtime or a second job to pay for the setup. I like my one ton single rear wheel short bed setup. If money wasn't an issue I would look at the Ram dually short bed. I think they are the only one manufacturer of a short bed dually. And I'd go with the Arctic Fox 811 or Northern Lite 8-11. I think that would be an awesome setup for my kind of traveling.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I'm retiring soon and plan on doing it full time. Thanks for the quick and informative reply. I really like your videos. I live in the milwaukee area.
That's an epic campsite that you discovered! Tell Mandi we enjoyed her fishing skills but wish she wasn't so camera shy! Thanks for another great video, Kenny!
I tried to sneak in a shot of her. I figured I will try to work her in slowly. Her reflection is seen in the review mirror after we left the first lake.
Yes, I caught her reflection in the mirror and wondered if that got you in trouble. Wife and I would love for her to become more involved with your videos. We also miss seeing your daughter!
Its funny you mentioned that. Adelle took off the 27th and 28th from work , just so we can go camping! I'm really excited and looking forward to that trip. My older daughter also has said she wants to be in a video, but she's shy like Mandi. Maybe after she see Adelle in another video she will want to go. Adelle called Mandi a few days ago just to tell her how excited she is to go camping.
We'll look forward to seeing them! We're camping at an area lake this weekend with our youngest daughter and her family. Her 2 young sons enjoy RVing, especially with my wife who spoils them rotten! The other grandparents have purchased an RV, so we'll have 3 sites. This will be our 2nd time together. Keep up the good work, Kenny, and continue to enjoy your loved ones and exploring. We live vicariously through your adventures!
When we go backcountry we always find the journey enjoyable, but the adventure is what we cherish, btw, that fish was on for two jumps, I’d consider that landed 😂
Hey Kenny when fishing plastics try a vertical flick of your wrist. Nothing violent just flick it let it rest flick it let it rest. You could soak your baits in some garlic or anise. Good luck.
Wow! I love your channel. Just found you a few days ago. Now I’m binge watching. Love your adventures with your truck and camper. We have a 2012 AF 865 and we are loving it! I hope I can do even a small amount of what you do for adventure. Take care!
Your minnesota camping trips are serene makes me feel at ease when im stresed. I turn on my tablet and go to your channel watch your camping trips which makes me again feel at esae. Happy camping stay safe my friend. Oh yes tell toby mike said hi.
It’s amazing how you find all those great camp sites. I live in Massachusetts and we don’t have scenery like that. I have been to warroad minn. it’s on Lake of the Woods.
Kenny Kenny Kenny I love you man but don't give up your daytime job just yet . I'm not sure if fishing is your talent right now .But don't give up you'll land a big one someday .In the meantime you could have had all those pan fries your little LADY caught. ( ha ha ) You're really making this cheesehead want to go to Minnesota that's gotta be 1 of the most gorgeous campsites I've ever seen I'm jealous absolutely awesome. Till next week as always stay safe and healthy.
Thanks Mark. This really was an amazing find. We should have made up fish tacos, that's one of our favorites. Next time Mandi comes out we will make it happen
Just found your channel. I’ve been motorcycle camping northern Mn and Wisc for 40 years. So many awesome places off the beaten track. I’d have been so bummed here because no way I’m riding my gold wing thru that mud hole!! What a great spot. W my luck a group of partiers would’ve pulled in anyway. 🤣 great video, look forward to seeing more of your vids.
Mandi kickin butt with those sunnies! You are right though. It’s tricky catching those walleyes/bass/pike. I was always much more proficient catching the sunnies. They looked delicious. Y’all should’ve pan fried some up! I am envious. Only thing we have out west primarily is trout. And trout is not the best tasting fish, IMHO. Also, that is most certainly the best boondocking spot I’ve ever seen in Minnesota!
I'll have to make some fish tacos. I love them. I agree with the trout. My dad would take me up to the mines as a kid to go trout fishing. I always thought they were fishy tasting. I'll take sunnies or crappies over trout.
@@KennyOfAllTrades man you’re up pretty late buddy! I’ve taped my eyelids open to try and push it into this night because the stars up here at 10k feet are spectacular and wanted to get some long exposure shots for my next videos. Of course the one time when I spend 30 minutes prepping my campsite, the clouds roll in and they’re not as spectacular as they were last night. Ughh!
So i realize Mandi needs to come out with u more often cos this was an awesome trip and she's a natural behind the camera. The campsite was phenomenal. Getting there made me close my eyes a few times and say a short prayer for u. It just goes to show u are living your best life. Thank you for taking us along ☺
@@KennyOfAllTrades No problem sir. U guyz make an awesome couple and team. Each and everyone of ur videos is a masterpiece. Thank u sir for making these videos. I look forward to watching them daily 😊
I wish I had more time to come with. I work way to many weekends and still have a younger kid at home involved in sports and activities. When Kenny is able to go full time I hope to be able to tag along more! Thank you for the kind comment..
@@mandib757 I understand how hard it is with children and making sure they get to their activities. I have 3 girls myself. I do look forward to seeing more of you in the videos. I also think Kenny smiles more when you’re there with him. He has someone to mess with him. Also when you’re there you can always tell if he does catch a fish 😂🤣
Kenny try a buzzing spinner bait. They are a top water bait. Good luck!! Haven't missed a video yet. Keep them coming. Good luck on the fishing Kenny and way to go mandi!!
Jay Jared! Your the first friend from home to comment on the videos. I honestly didn't think anyone from back home watched these videos....That actually makes it easier to record. You know how much of a private person I am. I'll try spinner bait, thanks for the tip. Maybe this winter we can get on the ice, you could put me on the spots where you pull out the monsters. You could be in the video!
I have learned alot over the last year. I had no idea there were so many dispersed sites either. North of Brainerd to Canada theres so many options. The central and southern part dont have the same opportunities. I once thought I'd be moving to Montana or Wyoming when the kids moved out of the house. But my eyes have been opened to the endless outdoor activities this state offers.......if the taxes weren't so darn high, I would say Minnesota is one of the best states.
@@fritzmorrison5834 I do need to make that happen. I've only done one catch and cook video. I'll have to do it again. Thanks for following along in the adventure!
Hey Kenny, look for the folding kayak...I'm think that would be perfect for truck campers..take up about as much as your bike..I'm leaving today for 4 days of camping...
Hi Kenny. So... Mandy is better at fishing then you huh? Lol love ypu two are together. Hiw long you guys been together? Wow that campsite is so beautiful!! The water there is so pretty! I love stuffed peppers. ❤ yours looked delish. Never thouggt bout putting cheese in the bottom of the pepper. Thanks for great videos.
Mandi and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary together. One day I'll ask her to marry me. (She won't look back at these old comments, so it's ok that I dropped that here) We started dating when we were both raising our kids. She had her home, I had mine, and I worked out for both of us to have our space. It's actually worked out nice because 10 years later we are both still in love and enjoy our time together and miss each other when we are apart. Mandi will say she is better at fishing because she grew up on a river......I just let her think that!
This is the type of campsite that we're looking for. Hope to buy a truck and camper soon so we can get to sites like this. Great job sharing your experiences with us! Speaking of...where is last Tuesdays video? Randy
That week at work was draining! Im not a full-time youtuber like alot of these content creators. I still do the Monday through Friday grind and staying late stacking up overtime. I still got out and recorded though...I stayed in a rest stop Friday night, then made my way to a power plant Saturday morning. I found an area up here that has a rare rock formations called ferry stones. It on the Mississippi River. I started editing the video that Sunday. I could see in the video I was tired and the whole thing felt forced. Monday night I deleted the whole thing. I wasn't happy with it. I'm still gonna go back there and share it with you guys. I was thinking of mailing out a few rocks to any viewers that want one.....there only found at 5 or 6 places world wide. Good news is Mandi and I had a great time exploring Paul Bunyan State Forest this last week. The new video will be out tomorrow at 5pm!
Talk about a prime site, no worries of crowding. That's our kinda spot. Sorry Kenny but we have to give Mandi a Hi-5 on her Many catches ..lol Don't give up, that's why they call it fishing. Great episode glad Mandi could join you.we look forward to next week. Eric and Karal.
It was an awesome find. This was one of the best dispersed camping spots i have wondered across. Mandi said she wished we could have stayed longer, and I agreed. It was a challenge to get to but well worth it. It reminded me alot of High Rock on Copper Harbor in Michigans UP. Such a cool spot.
I been up in that area north of Grand Rapids many times. Did you know there are spots on Caribou lake. I also know of a couple of sites on Orange Lake road that are nice.
Yes, I think those spots on Caribou could be nice during the off-season. I have never seen them available. Same with Orange Lake. I haven't seen that spot because someone is always there. I have driven the truck down to Carpenter Lake. I haven't stayed there in a video. But that one is usually open. It's a steep trail, and it's hard to get level.
Thanks. It was beautiful. One of the most peaceful and quiet sunsets I have seen in a while. I should have recorded the loons and used that audio in the background. Their calls are beautiful but haunting at the same time.
Every Kenny I have met as been pritty chill. If your getting a truck camper I hope you find as much enjoyment in it as I do! I love the freedom with not having something to pull behind me.
Yep, send me an email. I don't put the dispersed sites online, just the established campgrounds. But I can help you find this spot. Kennyofalltradeschannel@gmail.com
Hi Kenny there are fish out there what I use is a a canoe with a fishfinder hooked up of the bottom of the canoe haft way so you have 360 25 feet out from canoe you will see fish and terrain of the bottom hope it helps you out just a tip ❤😊
You and I share the same kind of pheremone; the kind that fish can sense as soon as I walk up to water. I think it tickles them and they gang up and laugh at me.
This was epic! 👍🏻great shots, n yeah i was…aaah come-on show us the climb back now, lol. Next time get Mandi to hold the camera when she’s with you so we see what she sees. Mandi’s new rule “She who catches the fish doesn’t have to do dish!” Lol - in response to do the dishes. 🍻
Kenny it appears that Mandi has the knack for catching the fish :) I kept smiling with this one. Way to go Mandi!! It was fun having you join in the fun.
People who leave messes make me so angry. But you inspire me with kindness by picking it up. Thank you. 🇨🇦

👍✌️
Thanks! Hopefully I can get a little color too my feet before winter sets in..... in winter the socks never come off
Ope - My wife gives Mandi a thumb's up on the fishing and the old school closed face reel. Good Job.
She is quite the fisher lady
Always look forward to your Tuesday posts . That spot is the best yet . Mandi , you should get out with Kenny more often to keep him out of trouble boondocking . 😀
YES! THANKS 😊
Very cool video beautiful scenery. . . . Mandi was reeling in thoes sunnys like nobodys buisness,
She always tells me how good she is at catching fish....
She has all her stories about growing up on a river and fishing every day.....
She thinks she's better at fishing...
I disagree, I'm just in a slump. Lol
😆👍
Best video so far . Kee up the great work👏
Thanks. This video was fun to edit.
I laughed Mandy’s a pretty lady in the rear vision mirror,takes a Kiwi in Australia too catch it lol Cheers Great viewing
Great eye!!! I have snuck her into a few videos. I don't think too many people noticed that one.
I believe I commented on this one already 😆 🤣 😂 I was doing some Dyr for next week scouting with my bro. And this video came up. I have to say after re watching this one again out of all your video thus far this is got to be my favorite.
I had to put winterize and put our camper away for the season this weekend. Now it's back to our Mini Van with a mattress for the rest of fall. We are actually going to scout out these locations next weekend. Bring a chain saw for limb removal if we get down some old logging trails. Debating if I should bring the 12 footer for a little fishing.
Can't wait for this week's video
Have fun and be safe out there. The white caps were on the lake I found this weekend. But Adelle and I had a great time. I was up until 3 am editing the video. I hope everyone enjoys it.
Nice job. Way to dig in and score a great site.
Thanks!

@@KennyOfAllTrades What species fish are you targeting?
Small mouth, large mouth and northerns

Same here. Fished so much I kinda got out of it but was into saltwater last. Toss a HotnTot for largemouth if you get a chance. I think they still make shallow divers for shore fishing. I use to use a float tube to get into deeper water and drop offs. Requires getting wet though
I love the "Cody Lundeen" reference. :) Watching your videos are inspiring as I consider dispersed campsites.
Mandi LOL go teach Kenny how to fish 🐟 hahahaha 😂😍 you go girl
Hi Kenny and Mandi the fire 🔥 is Awesome Amazing Beautiful ❤😊
Absolutely amazing Kenny!! All of the lakes in that area plus free camping right on the water. You may not be able to catch fish but you sure are reeling in some great campsites. Mandy did fantastic and I was so happy to see and hear her in the video. I hope she is starting to get more comfortable with the camera. I love seeing her reeling in the fish and letting you know how she was out fishing you. On a side note I finally caught some fish on Sunday. Just a few rock bass but it did help boost the confidence.
Thanks. It's funny that I once was jealous of people out west with all there BLM land. I had no clue there was so much free camping right under my nose. A year later and I have learned alot at reading maps and locating these jems.
I really like your setup. What camper do you use and what truck do you recommend for the truck?
The camper is almost 20 years old but still getting me out on the weekends. It I a 2004 Arctic Fox M860. That line was discontinued in 2005. It was replaced with the 811 model. My truck is a 2015 Silverado 3500 HD. There are so many different opinions on trucks and campers. Here is mine......
Buy what you can afford. If you have the money to buy an F-450 or F-550, that's great! I don't think I would ever say, " I wish I had a lighter payload capacity."
My thinking was I wanted a truck and camper that would allow me to explore forest roads and find dispersed camping without having to work overtime or a second job to pay for the setup.
I like my one ton single rear wheel short bed setup. If money wasn't an issue I would look at the Ram dually short bed. I think they are the only one manufacturer of a short bed dually. And I'd go with the Arctic Fox 811 or Northern Lite 8-11. I think that would be an awesome setup for my kind of traveling.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I'm retiring soon and plan on doing it full time. Thanks for the quick and informative reply. I really like your videos. I live in the milwaukee area.
That's an epic campsite that you discovered! Tell Mandi we enjoyed her fishing skills but wish she wasn't so camera shy! Thanks for another great video, Kenny!
I tried to sneak in a shot of her. I figured I will try to work her in slowly. Her reflection is seen in the review mirror after we left the first lake.
Yes, I caught her reflection in the mirror and wondered if that got you in trouble. Wife and I would love for her to become more involved with your videos. We also miss seeing your daughter!
Its funny you mentioned that. Adelle took off the 27th and 28th from work , just so we can go camping! I'm really excited and looking forward to that trip. My older daughter also has said she wants to be in a video, but she's shy like Mandi. Maybe after she see Adelle in another video she will want to go. Adelle called Mandi a few days ago just to tell her how excited she is to go camping.
We'll look forward to seeing them! We're camping at an area lake this weekend with our youngest daughter and her family. Her 2 young sons enjoy RVing, especially with my wife who spoils them rotten! The other grandparents have purchased an RV, so we'll have 3 sites. This will be our 2nd time together. Keep up the good work, Kenny, and continue to enjoy your loved ones and exploring. We live vicariously through your adventures!
Nice job, Mandi! I don't think we have ever seen Kenny catch any... until this episode. Nope. That was Mandi too!
Love these videos!
Thanks man! BTW, I sent an email answering those question. Don't hesitate to reach out again.
@@KennyOfAllTrades thanks! I got it and have read it several times as already!
When we go backcountry we always find the journey enjoyable, but the adventure is what we cherish, btw, that fish was on for two jumps, I’d consider that landed 😂
So true!
Very beautiful area. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Joe, that was one of my favorites this summer. It's a little tuff to get to but Definitely worth it.
Hey Kenny when fishing plastics try a vertical flick of your wrist. Nothing violent just flick it let it rest flick it let it rest. You could soak your baits in some garlic or anise. Good luck.
I appreciate the tips. Thanks!
Wow! I love your channel. Just found you a few days ago. Now I’m binge watching. Love your adventures with your truck and camper. We have a 2012 AF 865 and we are loving it! I hope I can do even a small amount of what you do for adventure. Take care!
Awesome! Thank you!
Your minnesota camping trips are serene makes me feel at ease when im stresed. I turn on my tablet and go to your channel watch your camping trips which makes me again feel at esae. Happy camping stay safe my friend. Oh yes tell toby mike said hi.
It is a beautiful campsite.
Hello from the quiet rainy Ozarks Kenny! Another video of value! Awesome campsites with no campers! tight lines and bent poles!
That deer hang, like other vids, is a juvenile Bigfoot chin up exercise bar !!!
Hi Kenny the Food 🥘 is Delicious Awesome Amazing mmmmmmm so Good 😊
It’s amazing how you find all those great camp sites. I live in Massachusetts and we don’t have scenery like that. I have been to warroad minn. it’s on Lake of the Woods.
Great video, I couldn't walk that much barefoot. LOL
Thankfully I didn't get into any poison ivy. It was about a 2 mile walk that morning.
Kenny Kenny Kenny I love you man but don't give up your daytime job just yet . I'm not sure if fishing is your talent right now .But don't give up you'll land a big one someday .In the meantime you could have had all those pan fries your little LADY caught. ( ha ha ) You're really making this cheesehead want to go to Minnesota that's gotta be 1 of the most gorgeous campsites I've ever seen I'm jealous absolutely awesome. Till next week as always stay safe and healthy.
Thanks Mark. This really was an amazing find. We should have made up fish tacos, that's one of our favorites. Next time Mandi comes out we will make it happen
The wife has the fisherman hand 😂😂😂😂 u don't. Great content.
It's true! But I tell her overall Ive still caught more fish.......or at least that what I've convinced myself of. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. I’ve been motorcycle camping northern Mn and Wisc for 40 years. So many awesome places off the beaten track. I’d have been so bummed here because no way I’m riding my gold wing thru that mud hole!! What a great spot. W my luck a group of partiers would’ve pulled in anyway. 🤣 great video, look forward to seeing more of your vids.
Thanks for watching!
Mandi kickin butt with those sunnies! You are right though. It’s tricky catching those walleyes/bass/pike. I was always much more proficient catching the sunnies. They looked delicious. Y’all should’ve pan fried some up! I am envious. Only thing we have out west primarily is trout. And trout is not the best tasting fish, IMHO.
Also, that is most certainly the best boondocking spot I’ve ever seen in Minnesota!
I'll have to make some fish tacos. I love them. I agree with the trout. My dad would take me up to the mines as a kid to go trout fishing. I always thought they were fishy tasting. I'll take sunnies or crappies over trout.
@@KennyOfAllTrades man you’re up pretty late buddy! I’ve taped my eyelids open to try and push it into this night because the stars up here at 10k feet are spectacular and wanted to get some long exposure shots for my next videos. Of course the one time when I spend 30 minutes prepping my campsite, the clouds roll in and they’re not as spectacular as they were last night. Ughh!
So i realize Mandi needs to come out with u more often cos this was an awesome trip and she's a natural behind the camera. The campsite was phenomenal. Getting there made me close my eyes a few times and say a short prayer for u. It just goes to show u are living your best life. Thank you for taking us along ☺
That's very nice of you to say. Mandi loves hearing those complements. I'm gonna be sure to tell her. Thanks!
@@KennyOfAllTrades No problem sir. U guyz make an awesome couple and team. Each and everyone of ur videos is a masterpiece. Thank u sir for making these videos. I look forward to watching them daily 😊
I wish I had more time to come with. I work way to many weekends and still have a younger kid at home involved in sports and activities. When Kenny is able to go full time I hope to be able to tag along more! Thank you for the kind comment..
@@mandib757 I understand how hard it is with children and making sure they get to their activities. I have 3 girls myself. I do look forward to seeing more of you in the videos. I also think Kenny smiles more when you’re there with him. He has someone to mess with him. Also when you’re there you can always tell if he does catch a fish 😂🤣
Meat market here in Michigan has the same deer statue
Kenny try a buzzing spinner bait. They are a top water bait. Good luck!! Haven't missed a video yet. Keep them coming. Good luck on the fishing Kenny and way to go mandi!!
Jay Jared! Your the first friend from home to comment on the videos. I honestly didn't think anyone from back home watched these videos....That actually makes it easier to record. You know how much of a private person I am. I'll try spinner bait, thanks for the tip. Maybe this winter we can get on the ice, you could put me on the spots where you pull out the monsters. You could be in the video!
@@KennyOfAllTrades your video's are great. Didn't know there is so much stuff in MN to do. Sounds good will go fishing this winter!!
I have learned alot over the last year. I had no idea there were so many dispersed sites either. North of Brainerd to Canada theres so many options. The central and southern part dont have the same opportunities. I once thought I'd be moving to Montana or Wyoming when the kids moved out of the house. But my eyes have been opened to the endless outdoor activities this state offers.......if the taxes weren't so darn high, I would say Minnesota is one of the best states.
@@KennyOfAllTrades you've definitely opened my eyes about this state. Keep up the awesome work!!
I wished Indiana looked that beautiful.
With all of those Lillys you need to invest in a couple floating frogs >might change your luck or poppers and such .top water lures !
I think it's time to put together a proper tackle box.
LOL on the Cody Lundin mention
luvyaman,happy Mandy was along, there's a reason they call 'em panfish, try 'em!
@@fritzmorrison5834 I do need to make that happen. I've only done one catch and cook video. I'll have to do it again. Thanks for following along in the adventure!
Hey Kenny, look for the folding kayak...I'm think that would be perfect for truck campers..take up about as much as your bike..I'm leaving today for 4 days of camping...
Thanks for the suggestion. I have not seen one yet. I'll definitely look into it!
Hi Kenny. So... Mandy is better at fishing then you huh? Lol love ypu two are together. Hiw long you guys been together? Wow that campsite is so beautiful!! The water there is so pretty! I love stuffed peppers. ❤ yours looked delish. Never thouggt bout putting cheese in the bottom of the pepper. Thanks for great videos.
Mandi and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary together. One day I'll ask her to marry me. (She won't look back at these old comments, so it's ok that I dropped that here)
We started dating when we were both raising our kids. She had her home, I had mine, and I worked out for both of us to have our space. It's actually worked out nice because 10 years later we are both still in love and enjoy our time together and miss each other when we are apart.
Mandi will say she is better at fishing because she grew up on a river......I just let her think that!
Wow Nice spot !! Blue fish taco's
That was a real nice surprise to come upon that spot. I find my far share of remote campsites here in Minnesota, that was one of my favorites.
Awesome awesome
This is the type of campsite that we're looking for. Hope to buy a truck and camper soon so we can get to sites like this. Great job sharing your experiences with us! Speaking of...where is last Tuesdays video?
Randy
That week at work was draining! Im not a full-time youtuber like alot of these content creators. I still do the Monday through Friday grind and staying late stacking up overtime. I still got out and recorded though...I stayed in a rest stop Friday night, then made my way to a power plant Saturday morning. I found an area up here that has a rare rock formations called ferry stones. It on the Mississippi River. I started editing the video that Sunday. I could see in the video I was tired and the whole thing felt forced. Monday night I deleted the whole thing. I wasn't happy with it.
I'm still gonna go back there and share it with you guys. I was thinking of mailing out a few rocks to any viewers that want one.....there only found at 5 or 6 places world wide.
Good news is Mandi and I had a great time exploring Paul Bunyan State Forest this last week. The new video will be out tomorrow at 5pm!
Great vid hang in there Kenny you will get a fish one day
I'm going to step up my fishing game.
Talk about a prime site, no worries of crowding. That's our kinda spot. Sorry Kenny but we have to give Mandi a Hi-5 on her Many catches
..lol
Don't give up, that's why they call it fishing.
Great episode glad Mandi could join you.we look forward to next week.
Eric and Karal.
It was an awesome find. This was one of the best dispersed camping spots i have wondered across. Mandi said she wished we could have stayed longer, and I agreed. It was a challenge to get to but well worth it. It reminded me alot of High Rock on Copper Harbor in Michigans UP. Such a cool spot.
Thanks for the high five. I love fishing!
@@mandib757 glad you could go with.
I been up in that area north of Grand Rapids many times. Did you know there are spots on Caribou lake. I also know of a couple of sites on Orange Lake road that are nice.
Yes, I think those spots on Caribou could be nice during the off-season. I have never seen them available. Same with Orange Lake. I haven't seen that spot because someone is always there. I have driven the truck down to Carpenter Lake. I haven't stayed there in a video. But that one is usually open. It's a steep trail, and it's hard to get level.
Nice sunset.
Thanks. It was beautiful. One of the most peaceful and quiet sunsets I have seen in a while. I should have recorded the loons and used that audio in the background. Their calls are beautiful but haunting at the same time.
Hi Kenny and Mandi what an Incredible beautiful Awesome Amazing Scenery love 💕 this camp 🏕️ site ❤😊
Love it
Thanks Kenny! Sure makes me want to start this.
Also named Kenny.
Every Kenny I have met as been pritty chill. If your getting a truck camper I hope you find as much enjoyment in it as I do! I love the freedom with not having something to pull behind me.
Love the video!! Any chance for a clue on the spot at 12:31? Spent 45+ minutes and haven’t had any luck. 😅
Yep, send me an email. I don't put the dispersed sites online, just the established campgrounds. But I can help you find this spot.
Kennyofalltradeschannel@gmail.com
Hi Kenny there are fish out there what I use is a a canoe with a fishfinder hooked up of the bottom of the canoe haft way so you have 360 25 feet out from canoe you will see fish and terrain of the bottom hope it helps you out just a tip ❤😊
I would say that, that's gotta be the best camping spot I've ever seen, SWEET! Oh BTW I have faith in you to somedayyyy catch a fish. Lol 😆
Lol Thanks John, I'll pull a few through the ice soon.
try pre-rigged night crawlers, three hooks on one. i've caught a ton of bass next to the weeds with them.
You and I share the same kind of pheremone; the kind that fish can sense as soon as I walk up to water. I think it tickles them and they gang up and laugh at me.
This was epic! 👍🏻great shots, n yeah i was…aaah come-on show us the climb back now, lol.
Next time get Mandi to hold the camera when she’s with you so we see what she sees.
Mandi’s new rule “She who catches the fish doesn’t have to do dish!” Lol - in response to do the dishes. 🍻
Lol, don't be putting stuff in her head now! 🤣
Spykers B I like the way you think. ;) I do film for him from time to time.
