    I hope you don't mind that generic 1st paragraph. It's important to get all those keywords in the right places. Now for the real description.
    First off, Toby's neuter went great. You wouldn't even know he saw the vet today. I'm confident he will be out camping next week.
    This weekend started out Friday after work. I headed into Cass County looking for a remote dispersed campsite. I was talking with Jack, from Tiny Cabin Life. He was telling me about an area with major historical significance. I had done some research and was excited to share the story. However, I found some literature that said the area was closed to the public. I contacted the National Forest to inquire about the property. Initially they said the land was off limits because it was no longer public, however I have plate maps that showed differently. So now I'm waiting on the Forest Curator to get back to me. I completely understand how significant and important this land is, and I know they don't want it to be disrupted in any way. I hope they understand that I would be nothing but respectful and I think it's important that we don't forget the history. The story of these forests goes back many, many, years. Wars have been won and lost on this soil. It important we don't forget how we got to where we are today. Unfortunately, the Chippawa National Forest took the location off their website, it now says the location is unavailable. Maybe one day I'll be able to share the story with you.
    After finding occupied campsites I decided to continue north. I ended up at a dispersed campsite near the Lost 40. This campsite is not easy to use. It nowhere close to level, and the actual site is on top of a hill. But if you can manage those issues the payoff is fantastic. The site from the hill is beautiful. This place is really remote. I found it a few years ago. It was once listed on the Forest website as a dispersed campsite, but not any longer. They also took sign that says it's a Dispersed site. There is no cell service in this area so doing research online while driving through the forest is impossible. Toby and I went on a hike Saturday, and I found another old campsite. This one would be even better then where I was. I think I'll go back there with a tent on day.
    This site was the location of the "Whoop, Whoop" sound. It was almost 2 years ago when I heard it. It came from across the trail. Oddly enough, Toby was staring across the trail for a good part of the weekend. You can see it often on camera. I bet he spent hours with all his attention focused on the woods across the trail.
    I had one weird experience. I didn't talk about it on camera. I didn't want to think about it or give it any attention. I knew that it would go to my head and id want to leave early.
    Here is what happened. Saturday night I went to bed late. I tried to get all the footage uploaded and put in order for editing. It was around 1am when I started to wind down. I went to the lake to set up the camera for the shot of the stars, nothing seemed out of place and i didn't get any creepy vibes. I had no problem falling asleep that night. It was about 430am when I woke up. I was really cold. I reached for more blankets and looked up to see if Toby looked cold. That is when I noticed my camper door was hanging completely open. Toby was sleeping at the dinette, that's where he always lays. The wired thing is the screen door was closed but the main door was open. If you know about camper doors, you know the main door and the screen door are attached together. I still don't know how the two doors became separated. Both doors were closed when i went to bed......I don't know... But I do need to get the lock fixed sooner than later.
    Its Monday Night at 1230 and I'm just getting the description done for this video...I don't have the thumbnail made yet and I have to leave for work in 6 hours...I'm not getting a Patreon account set up for this video. But hopefully this week I'll find time.
    Thanks for following along. Toby and I will see you again next week!
    This last paragraph is also for the search results. I want to go full time truck camper living so one day I can go camping in the worst snow storm. But even though camping in an extreme blizzard can be fun, its nothing compared to the excitement of camping in abandoned places. The bottom line is whether I'm camping in winter snow storm, trying to figure out how to stay cool truck camping, or solo camping in heavy rain I'm doing what I love.

    The Patreon will be set up real soon! It will be free for everyone to join. This way I will have an option for people to support the channel if they choose. But the content will not be limited to how much you are able to donate. I'll let you know on the next video if it up and running.

      Thank you so much. The videos are kind of like therapy for me as well. I started the channel to take me out of my comfort zone. I had just left the police department when I started the channel. I was looking for something to light my fire again. One day, I realized I wasn't the same person I once was. I had no empathy, no emotions, and no patience. I was suffering from night terrors and undiagnosed PTSD. I would stay awke at night and stew on calls and incidents that were years old. I was secretly going through a lot and never could ask for help. One day, while backgrounding a few new Officers, during the interview process, I saw a spark in their eyes. I knew i once had that spark. I thought i was gonna make a difference once too. But I realized my spark was gone. I had nothing left to give. I needed to get out before my old self had completely disappeared. Mandi was a really big supporter and assured me I was making the right decisions.
      The channel was a way for me to keep challenging myself. I'm not a big people person and never shared much of myself. Every week, when I press record, I challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone.
      I guess what you are seeing every week is me trying to heal myself. I'm glad that comes through in the videos and helps others relax.

    Thanks for sharing, Kenny. I've been going through cancer treatment for the past 2.5 years and your channel has been a big part of my therapy. I have a motor home that I haven't been able to use, so I camp vicariously through you and Toby. However, I live in the deep South, so my camping never includes snow or cold weather! Your demeanor and your content are refreshing and always have me looking forward to the next video. I have cards with many of the recipes you prepare and have done some myself, usually on the stove though. Tonight is artichoke dip on baguettes. Keep up your awesome work and maybe one day, I'll see you down the road.

    Kenny, Never turn down money. If you do you are telling the universe you don’t want it. Money is a gift that people who have it want to share it with you. So accept the money with gratitude. You provide us with entertainment. You do a great job with your videos. Think of it as your reward for all your hard work.
    Since I am from the south, You have opened my eyes to the beauty of your state. Keep it up. We all appreciate your efforts.
    Thank you Kenny

Later a state police officer, criminal investigator and avid camper-your easy style helps me deal with those pesky ghosts and ghouls of my past law enforcement life. Thanks for the un-intrusive Therapy my new friend!

Mandi, my girlfriend, said I was no longer the person I once was. My empthey was gone, and my emotions were numb. But now you understand why I try so hard to get as far away from people as possible every week.

    I've gone through some major life changes over the past year or so, and I've been blessed to have The Lord (and the universe) send you my way. It's an honor to know you, and to (hopefully soon) become a paying subscriber of yours. You deserve it.

    Hello, from a fellow truck camper owner. We have a Ranger Solo Stove that we store in our truck cab. So far, we’ve never smelled it in the truck. We do wrap it up in a plastic bag before putting it back in the carrying case so that may help. Just a few tips we got from a veteran RVer that we’ll pass on to you… The firewood needs to be lower than the air vents in order to reduce the smoke. And you don’t ever want the inside of it to get wet. We bought a 10 gallon metal trash can at Tractor Supply. The lid fits perfectly over the fire pit. When we’re ready to call it a night, we just put the lid over it so we don’t have to worry about rain. My husband and I look forward to your videos each week. We live in Alabama, but his parents live near the Boundary Waters in Lake County. Beautiful scenery up there!

    So here's the thing: you're not asking for help. You're just making it easy for people to offer thanks for your content if the feeling moves them and they're able and inclined to do so. I completely get where you're coming from: I also dislike asking for help. I've hated getting unemployment in the past even though I've paid into it for 45 years and counting. I currently have a fulltime job which would make me and mine pretty comfortable in much of the country but I live in the metro DC area and support four other people. Just a regular person running the usual roach errands to make ends meet. I'm currently making use of a food pantry because we're food insecure. So lots of ends and not much meeting. It's tough out there. I'd still give you a little cash if I could afford it as your demeanor and treatment of others and your relentless search weekly for a great place to camp brings me happiness.
    Looking forward to your next video. Plus you got a three day weekend coming up!

My grandpa had property in Jersey county, of which my dad purchased when he passed. I was raised in Madison county, then bought a farm making the land a triangle in Jersey county. Ironically, the woman I bought my place from became my daughter 's grandmother. She already seems like when she is done with college, her and her boyfriend will be moving back towards our farm. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us.

    Waking up and finding your camper door wide open must have been a creepy experience considering what you already encountered previously at that location. You recently mentioned motion detectors. This would be a good argument in favor. Also maybe a couple of game cams. You do a lot of outside cooking. It could be interesting to see the visitors to your campsite after you turn in!!!!

It is obvious from the many letters and encouraging posts that you receive that your subscribers want to be able to show their appreciation and support. As I posted a couple of weeks ago, you are sharing your wisdom, knowledge, skills, and your art. I am not the only one who sees your videos as poetry in motion. How fitting that a gifted subscriber would create his or her own poetry to express his/her appreciation. What a lovely tribute! I always look forward to Tuesday evenings.

    Your little black book of viewer letters is a treasure trove of goodwill and creativity, a testament to the community you've built. I dream of having my own collection of uplifting notes in my camper someday, just like yours. Keep sharing your incredible journeys and wise words-you're making the world a better place, one campsite at a time. Be kind. Be honest. I'll see you down the road.
    Cheers Jared

You guys are great! I'm new to Minnesota and found your channel while looking for places to do dispersed camping (where I don't have to listen to children scream...I'm glad the kiddos have fun at the campsites, but listening to the crickets and frogs "scream" is much more what I'm looking for.

    Good stuff. You do a really good job of connecting with the audience with your videos.
    Funny story, a few months ago my two year old and I were about to watch some videos on UA-cam. I ask her what she wants to watch and she says something that sounded like "the man with the camper." I asked her "Do you mean Kenny of All Trades?" She answered affirmitively and began to shout "Kenny of All Trades!" I think I may have watched only one of your videos with her previously.

    Wow, this one was an intimate and touching video! 3 years! Wow how time flies, can’t believe it’s been 3 years!
    The poem…I’m was left speechless while wiping tears from eyes! That was such a heartwarming and soul touching poem! I can’t remember who who sent it, but thank you for doing so; I felt it and I felt was part of it!
    And Will’s letter, another touch of the soul right there!
    I know you are man who doesn’t ask for help, but I’ve told you for awhile now to do what you needed to do to survive in the land of YT…whether it be affiliate links or doing paid promotions or even patreon for that matter! I’m glad to see you stepping out of your comfort zone a little bit and respect you for doing so.
    I have enjoyed ever single video you have done over the past there years, I’ve watched you grow as an editor, writer and mature as a YTer and I am proud to call you a friend…hopefully one day I shall have the honor of meeting you! Until then I will live vicariously through you every Tuesday until my dreams of being a nomad come to fruition in a few years!
    May the next 3 years be as bountiful for you (and Toby) as the last three years!

    • @KennyOfAllTrades
      @KennyOfAllTrades  4 місяці тому +3

      I'm not sure why that happens. It's odd, UA-cam says they dont unsubscribe people. They say the viewers must un-subscribe by accident. But i do find it odd with how many people say they have to constantly hit subscribe. In the video where Mandi and I went on a hike, I lost a bunch of subscribers. Don't get me wrong, every video has a few subscribers drop off. But I usually gain more than I lose. But not on this video. I know it had nothing to do with video, but Mandi took it to heart. I don't know why UA-cam messes around like that.

  • @Propworn
    @Propworn 4 місяці тому +4

    Those smokeless fire pits are designed to work with smaller pieces of wood. You have the length right, the wood should not extend above the lip. The size of the wood will work better if it's slightly bigger around than what one would consider starter pieces. It will burn down to a cooking fire much faster. Yours is a nice size, I have used a bit smaller one in Algonquin Park when they had restrictions on any ground fires during a canoe trip. Portaging a bigger one was not an option. We used dead fall instead of cut wood and it worked great.
