[@vga3245]

I had an especially hard week with my husband who has dementia. I needed to relax and find a quiet place, so I went winter camping with Kenny. Thank you Kenny your video gave me peace.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I'm glad the videos are helping you get through this hard time. Hang in there and know you are appreciated.

[@TheBeardedGingerDad]

Hey Kenny. My dad was the one that showed me your channel a couple years ago. We watch your videos every Tuesday. And we always talk about them the next day. Your camping spots, whether he’d been to them, your food, etc. I lost him to gallbladder cancer on Sunday. I swear I’ll watch each of your vids at least twice so you don’t lose views. Thanks for the wholesome content, and keep up the great work.

[@marymacgregor6952]

So sorry for your loss.

[@jaywa101]

I'm sorry. It's hard losing a loved one. I believe by continuing to do the nice things you once did with them, brings them closer. May your Dad rest in peaceful sleep. May you grieve well but not for so long. And may your happiest memories of him prevail❤

[@J.Benson]

💙🙏

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I'm so sorry for your loss. You have our family deepest condolences. I appreciate you sharing how the videos brought back memories for him. Hearing that makes all the effort worth it. We will keep your family on our thoughts and prayers.

[@TheBeardedGingerDad]

@@KennyOfAllTrades Thank you Kenny and everyone for the kind words

One of the best channles on you tube hands down

No it isn't. 😢

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I appreciate that. 👍

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

There are definitely better, but I try my best to share a small part of Minnesota.

[@cacayla]

Agreed! Thank Kenny and Toby. ❤

[@bernardshaw7585]

I agree. One of the best at least for my perspective

[@joz_tec]

"Toby of all Trades"! Cute!!

[@susanolson3611]

Toby of all trades and his faithful side kick! Thanks! You are braver than me walking around in the dark! 😄

[@kdhartman44]

“There’s nothing to be afraid of!” As he turns on a search light that could summon Batman!!🤣🤣

[@gigiwalentiny5060]

Look at that…a year old and getting top billing! Bravo, Toby! I agree with others…if camping closer to home gets you more time to relax - go for it, especially during these winter months. Have a great rest of your week!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I will have to go back there soon. That might be a good spot to check out after the shoulder surgery. I really appreciate the support for the channel. Thank you. 😊

[@gigiwalentiny5060]

@@KennyOfAllTrades That might be a good plan! I’m 6 years post op from major shoulder surgery on my dominant arm myself. It was challenging as I was in an immobilizer for 3 months. BUT! I had a great surgeon and that shoulder is 110% now! It’s good to get a plan in place now for your recovery time. Also - no thanks needed! I am delighted to support your channel (wish it could be more!) and am so happy to see it growing week by week! Not only do you bring peace and relaxation to so many, but you have been such a GREAT Pit Bull ambassador! As a Pit Bull mom myself, that is priceless!! So, thank YOU!!! 🙏🏻

Kenny: your videos bring me peace and joy. Happy holidays!

[@johneskrich362]

Chill'en Out w/ Kenny & Tobi not a bad deal folks!

[@theathjr]

Toby has worked his way up the corporate ladder and sets a great example for those young pups out there. Be cute and loveable and keep your dog parents warm at night while camping in the snow. Well done Toby. You deserve it.

[@theathjr]

Oh and I think that’s the first time I heard Toby speak there in the intro there bud. Great video Kenny and the bean soup is the meal that keeps on giving if you know what I mean. Haha👊

[@theguccipilot]

@@theathjr I saw the Toby vs Tilly scuffle. It’s pay for view.

[@justsaynrush9689]

Toby grew from a nervous little pup to a confident young man.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

100% It's like having a built-in furnace under the covers on a cold night. 😆

[@lakesuperiorgirl17]

Bring us back here in the summer. Love sitting on a lake ice fishing and listening to the ice crack

[@AwkwardHistory]

Love that you have Toby along for your adventures. He’s quite the explorer himself. Good video. Thanks.

[@cameronm2203]

The sounds of the fire, the company of a friend, and the views of the wilderness. Tuesday nights are special, relaxing, and appreciated. Thank you and Toby for all you do to bring joy to all the viewers. God Bless and may your holidays be memorable.

[@UnWindDaily2]

Close to your house save some gas and camp longer sounds like a game changer ❣️oh my gosh you both are blessed to have each other I just love ❤ Toby boy

Hey Kenny, hope you are doing well from your surgery!

[@melissalane-q7m]

Camping spot is isolated, no people around, is by a beautiful lake, is in a forest. If Toby likes it, I think it’s perfect! Great video, and I can’t wait to try your soup recipe!

[@UnWindDaily2]

Kenny you and Toby gets to enjoy 🎉Mother Nature at her best ❤

[@CarolPearse-q3w]

I remember the video when you tipped over the picnic table as a windbreaker. That was smart. Good on you for going back. Beautiful site!

Kenny is one of the first truck camping channels i first started watching. Inspiration fir starting my own channel, lol.

Where did you buy the smoked diced bacon? What a great ingredient to have on hand. Your channel is balm for my soul

[@denisefoxcroft8920]

And how I love bean soup. Or any soup except butternut. It tastes tooooo much like pudding. I'm jealous of your supper 🍽 😊. Have awesome camps with Toby and cheers 🍻.

[@KevPuc]

GRANDMA’S BEAN SOUP TIP❤️ My grandma always made the BEST bean soup. Years ago, while learning to make it, I would tell her “the beans never really got soft😕” She said “You’re adding the tomatoes too early!” Once you add the tomatoes, the beans stop cooking. Who knew? Ever since learning that, I taste-test the beans for tenderness, then add the tomatoes! Perfection!😉

[@mlewis3068]

Thank you for the tip about the tomatoes! I'd never have known that.

[@crescentmoonchild4031]

Thanks never knew😊

That smoked bacon has to take it to the next level!!! As always, stay safe out there…..

Beautiful campsite Kenny. Would be great to see you back there again. Toby's clothing is so cute 😊 I'm a big fan of bean soup. Good to see how you made it.

[@pumpwrench]

Was up North of Grand Rapids scouting for dispersed campsites that Saturday. Out of 15 locations I checked out, only found one campsite that I could add to my list. I was going to camp where you were staying on my way back home if I was too tired. Had enough coffee in me to make it home, but wished I would have stopped and met you! Love your channel, always looking forward to the next weeks video.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That would have been cool. The previous week, I had someone recognize the camper. He stopped in, and we must have talked about campsites for 45 minutes. It was fun sharing stories.

[@Magnum1-]

What a great place to camp! I hope you and Toby go back here again. The ice lake looks beautiful & would love to see the water❤ Have a great week😃 Best boy Toby🦴🐾

[@cslay06]

Up to 70K subs! Keep it going, Kenny!

[@ItsaKarifulLife]

Hi Kenny! I totally understand the joy of finding a camp spot near home when your leaving after work on Friday and heading home Sunday. Makes all the difference especially during winter. We are headed out Friday (after work) and have about a 2 1/2 hour drive. King Tides are happening on the Oregon coast. Happy camping 🎉

[@BR-bj3ot]

As much as I appreciate you, Kenny. What comes first to my heart and mind is PRAISE GOD! His Glory is witnessed in ALL OF His creation! Hallelujah!

Yes please Kenny and Toby! Go back to that other camping spot!

Yes please, go back to White Oak Lake in the summer time ❤

I'd love a return in spring/summer time when animals are on the move including BigFoot Not asking for a doco about it but be interesting to see if anything odd happens again 🥰 We are starting to get 45c in My place of Australia what's that 100 or more Fahrenheit I'm a summer person so it's nice! Those ice lakes spook me! I'm Sure your careful but you scare me! Take Care Stay Warm Kenny and Toby! ❤❤

Hi Kenny. Wanted you to know I’ve been sick. That’s why I haven’t been here. But love your videos. So I’m gonna sit and enjoy

[@Pamela_Army_Chick]

Hi Kenny & Toby! I loved the land O’Lakes State Forest. What beautiful scenery. Let me tell you the bean soup looked amazing. I am with you on the oyster crackers for the soup. I hope that you and Toby come here again. I presume Toby was cold, because he didn’t venture out much. The lightbulb just went off in my head - Toby was busy editing the video that's why we didn't see him as much. 😊 Oh, I love the bark at the beginning of the video. Cute touch. Hope to see you guys’ next week. Be safe and keep bringing us along on your adventures.

The first campsite was a great spot but I think I liked the other one you walked to even better. Nice to see just the natural surroundings and some snow.

I also hope you are doing well and adjusting well with Mandy living with you. Thank you for a great vidoe.

Kenny & Toby, where i live, today it is 42C (that's 107 Fahrenheit). Listening to your calm voice and the crunching of your footsteps in the snow, Toby in his red jacket against the snow and trees... I am imagining the fresh coldness & it's helping. You two fellas are a blessing, thanks for sharing your relaxing adventures.
