I Found an Abandoned US Forestry Campground While Truck Camping

A lot of people have been asking me about the E-bike in this video. It is the Troxus Explorer. I'll leave a like to the bike; you will be seeing a full review video of it soon.
www.troxusmobi...
Earlier this week I was looking at google maps scanning forestry roads when I noticed a few locations that looked like good boondocking spots, so I decided to take a chance. The forest roads were open, but some spots still have snow. The first spot I came to had a fallen tree blocking path. I located 3 campsites in total along the trail. Thanks for following along this weekend and I'll see ya next week.

[@rd4660]

Spent some time camping in the UP during Covid. Had a great time, campgrounds were empty. But being from California I wasn't used to the limited vistas. Holy cow you guys have a lot of trees!! But ya, had a great time, Michiganders are pretty friendly folks.

[@randylester1219]

Totally enjoy your videos. You're one of the most honest and purest camping channels I've found. I love your content every week. I'm betting it won't be long and you'll have 100k subscribers.

Always bring a chainsaw when traveling on Forest Roads. Saved me more than once.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I've taken down some pretty big logs with the Sawzall. No doubt a chain saw would work much better.

[@randyrandy7864]

I bought an electric chain saw stores nicely anywhere with no smell cuts all the firewood I need for a week on a single charge

@@KennyOfAllTrades did you see that deadfall? I don’t know if that’s a tree that you want to take on unless you really need to get past it. If it was all the way on the ground, that would be one thing.

[@Oldrush]

The best time to go out, pre bug and cold enough to keep most people at home. Moved from Michigan to Colorado and I miss those woods so much. This video takes me back to all the time I’ve spent in northern Michigans woods. I think this video is speaking to me on another level..time to go home. Thank you.

Thanks Robert. I really enjoy learning about the history of places. When I was a kid I wanted to be Indiana Jones. I still enjoy learning about the history. It never seemed to take off on the videos so I stopped showing it. Maybe I'll start sneaking in a few tidbits

[@dvate]

When I was a kid I rode my mini bike along a very overgrown roadway and came across a demolished bridge. It took about 15 years before I found out it was part of a larger campground that was abandoned 50 years prior. It was never fixed up & reabsorbed by the forest till the 90s

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That would be cool to find.

I like outdoor stuff so thought I'd subscribe. Nice big truck and camper. Wonder if you think it's too big. Nice bike too. Thanks for the content. See you next time. From Central Oklahoma

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks! The idea behind the channel is having weekend adventures. I'm not a full-time KZbinr, I' work Monday - Friday, then go camping on the weekends. I post my adventures every Tuesday. So far, I've only missed a couple of weekends. It dosrnt matter if it's -40 or 105 degrees. I'm making a video.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

And so far, I've never needed a smaller camper. I have taken this camper on trails people wouldn't take an empty truck on. Im not easy on the setup, and I love having a four star hotel in the bed of my truck.

[@wilbobblehead2219]

My boy Cole is going nuts and what's me too ask, did you get a new E-bike? If so, he would like to look it up and would appreciate the info. He asked me to ask you the name and model of bikes that you have now? He loves it. An my request is, when you make that decision to pull out your generator, could you possibly make a video on how that goes? I'd enjoy seeing that service video. I personally think your decision on changing out your stairs the way you did, is the mod I'd like to do with mirena. Made the decision to get the "Fox Landing" when I purchase mine and honestly, it wasn't a very good decision I must say. Has way too much flex when you use it, it's my only regret when I bought my 864. Well anyway Kenny as always, you be safe and best wishes to you and yours.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks WIlliam. Ill be sure to record when I pull out the genny. That bike was a new one. I've had it for a month now. I've been riding it at home and decided to bring it with for this video. It is not a folding bike but it still fits in the back seat if I remove the front tire. It is called a Troxus. It is now my favorite bike. I will be making a video on it soon. My old original Ebike is the Rad Mini 4. I have made a ton of upgrades to that bike. The breaks are the only thing original on that bike. The bike I got this winter " Mandi's Bike" is the Engwe EP2 Pro. It is a good bike at the price point.

[@roscoeroscoe9059]

Hi Kenny we made it to superior wi. Do you know of any great spots to camp. Will be working our way west from here

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

There are some beautiful state parks south of Duluth near Carlton if you don't mind people. Jay Cooke is just across the river. I'm not sure they will have any open spots, but it is beautiful! I normally go about an hour and a half north of Duluth in the Superior National Forest. If you keep heading west, you will come to Walker Minnesota. You will be passing through parts of the Chippewa National Forest. I have many camping locations there. Hit me up through email, and I'll see what I can help with. Otherwise campsites.net shows some cool boondocking spots in the Chippewa as well. Itasca County has awesome dispersed camping as well near Hill City. You can find a list of dispersed campsites on their website .

[@lindaohia6938]

First time I've watched you ...enjoyed the video. What kind of bike were you riding? Getting ready to hit the road myself, can't wait to do a little hiking.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That bike is called the Troxus Explorer. I really like it. I have a folding ebike as well. Both are nice but the Troxus feels like a mountain bike. It's more comfortable than a folding bike. On the folding bike, I sit in a heads-up position over the front tire. It's not bad, it just feels different than a standard bike.

[@SquarebodyTruckCamper]

I used Henry Tropicool 887 coupled with Henry 885 to coat my roof about 1 year ago and like it so far. I did a lot of research and spoke to some knowledgeable people that have used multiple products prior to choosing 887/885. One note: once you go with silicone coating, you cannot use anything else. Hope this helps and keep up the great videos. PS: Nice to hear spring warbler songs during your walk.

[@williambranham6249]

Beautiful spot. The FS road to be in very good shape as is the picnic table. Why is this considered an abandoned campground. Soothing video Thanks.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I ran into the forestry worker on a walk that morning. He said the US forestry service abandonded the camp site many years ago. There was three sites along a half mile stretch of the river. They were separated by a quarter mile. They decided the road was too narrow and did not want to maintain it anymore for only a few sites.. They opened up a new rustic campground a few miles upriver. They removed all of the signage and no longer list the site on the website. The forestry worker said he no longer maintains the spot. There are two sites of the original three remaining.

[@cpwatching5647]

Nice spot!! We enjoyed you bringing us along. Like your content. Ok time to start mowing. Later. Take care.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Oh yes....its that time of year. I haven't cut the grass yet. I still need to remove all the broken tree branches from this winter.

[@crewdog6969]

I know that site well.. been camping there my whole life.. The Oxbow i believe... used to be a pit toilet too when i was a kid.

[@daveneil3963]

I enjoyed your video! It reminded me of camping with our 8.5 foot Vacationer cabover camper on a 4X4 Ford truck, we had a lot of fun and went a lot of places with that set up. Thanks for taking us along on your camping trip. This is the only way I can camp now after the stroke(brain aneurism). I'm 79 and watching a lot of things on KZbin I used to be able to do. We were campground hosts until the stroke, loved that job! I'll be looking for more of your videos.

Just found this channel and I love how wholesome it is. This is great! Just subscribed! I love how modern camping has become. Makes it more accessible to many more people.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I agree. I get a lot of comments from people telling me that I should just stay home and sit on my couch because i have a nice camper.. I don't get it... the camper is twenty years old. Plus, having a nice camper makes spending two days off work in the middle of the forest enjoyable. If I was set up in a tent, I would stay home when it's 40 below zero or 100 degrees. But instead, almost every weekend for over two years, I have been in the camper.

Really enjoyed this vid. I’m an Australian off-grid dweller, and this vid popped up on my feed. I too, like exploring and finding hidden, forgotten areas for a camp. I also had a chuckle, as I’ve been referred to as a Jack of all trades, more times than I’d care to remember. You name it, I’ve done it. And also, my nickname in one previous life of mine, was Kenny! With that phrase, there is more to it than most people know. So whenever anyone says that to me, I always follow it up with the last line. “A Jack of all trades, but a master of none….However, far better, than a master of one!” Cheers, Rob,Tasmania, Australia

I met a few guys trying to get their Subaru's back there. They turned around, but I pushed through. It was sooooo awesome. I woke up to barges passing between me and a light house. I would love to go back. Those first few videos were fun, but never got many views. .

One day I'll find my travel buddy.

That is a hamburger I would go for with cheese inside and will have to try that sometime, I did try the peanut butter trick and while I really like both ingredients .... certainly not together as I found out ! LOL.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Oh no, that's too bad! I really liked the peanut butter, and i like to top it with an over easy egg. The cheese was great too. The cheddar melts super easy. You have to make sure you seal it up well. The cream cheese melted, but it's not as runny.

[@charlesb4267]

@@KennyOfAllTrades I look forward to trying both cheese types and I've never thought to even try cream cheese with meat, cheese and ground beef go so well together. Meat/cheese/egg is certainly a high protein meal, works for me !. Please don't ever cook tofu on your channel though 😂

[@greggoodes]

Did anyone else see Bigfoot lurking in the trees.

[@debwallace100]

Just found your channel. Enjoyed it very much! What kind of bike is that? Looks very cool 😎

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That is a Troxus Explorer. I really like it. I've had it in the last 3 or 4 videos. I've been riding it a lot. If you want more information about the bike, a review video is coming out tomorrow. It will drop at 5pm central mountain time.

[@ourv9603]

Deserted, not, abandoned. If it was abandoned it would be gated. The USFS has hundreds & hundreds of backcountry campgrounds, They are small like 8 sites giving one a place to make a basecamp while exploring the area on bike, or foot, or jeep, or ATV. They are lonesome because usually there is no DRAW. No lake or stream or canyon or incredible vistas, so most people go to the popular NP. USFS campsites are great for peace & quiet. !

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I called it "an old abandoned campsite" because the forestery worker who maintains the new camp miles away asked, "How did you find the old abandoned campground?" He said the forestery service abandoned the site years ago because it was only three spots on a half mile stretch down a crappy logging road. He said that it no longer exists on maps or literature. Its not maintained by them, as you saw from the downed trees blocking one of the sites, and the road washes out. I could have called it a decommissioned camp site. But KZbin would not have pushed it out. It was super peaceful. One local chimed in and thanked me for not giving away the location of their hidden gem.

[@myrahatton6812]

Spend a bit of time checking around for Sasquatch evidence.. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I have ran across some unexplainable happenings in prior videos. I don't spend time looking for cryptics, but after spending a lot of time in the forest, some weird things have found me.

[@scottdeblois8498]

Just came across this video. I really enjoyed it. I subscribed and will go back through your videos…well done.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you scott, I really appreciate the compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@negolfman]

Congrats on the 10k, and the bike video was awesome! Have you thought about adding drone videos and adding a solar panel/s sogen battery for power? I'm sure you could probably find a company like Bluetti to donate one to your channel as a influencer for review.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks! I recently picked up a power station with solar panels. I'm not sure about adding more to the camper. It's 20 years old, and with my luck, the moment I change over to solar and lithium inside the camper, something catastrophic would happen. I only have weekend adventures. If I get an opportunity to make more content and spend more than one night a week in the camper, I would consider it. Thanks for watching.

[@jenniferherrington]

New subscriber. Love your super relaxing channel. I wish I was at that campsite. What State are you camping in?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

This was in Minnesotas Superior National Forest. Thank you for checking out the channel and subscribing. I really do appreciate that!

[@RobinHarley]

You are so awesome and kind Kenny and that is why I love following you. I have been binge watching all of your videos and just love them! Thank you

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you so much Robin, I love reading these kinds of comments!

[@sammythompson3694]

I make onion burgers with dry onion flakes no breading needed, but use parsley as it is easy to add too many onion flakes. Seafoam could clear the gum in the carb or you could use a quart of kerosene, because Seafoam is 90% kerosene.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I learn something new all the time from this channel! Thanks for the info Sammy.

[@kevinkinney5445]

Hey, I've used Henrys seal & coat, as well as Henrys sure-stik 111 elastomer... Both work well

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks for the info. So far, I haven't heard any bad experiences with Henry's.

[@TomorrowIsNow]

I enjoyed your video a lot. I would have cut down that hacked at (unsafe) tree just for safety reasons lol. What brand of E Bike is that?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks! That bike is a Troxus. I'm going to have a review video for it soon.

[@NathanRusch]

Kenny, first I'd like to congratulate you on enticing me to contribute my first ever comment on KZbin. Second, I've had experience with Henry's tropi-cool as a maintenance man and it will work great as a sealant, but i feel it would not hold up well to scratches, scrapes, and hard pokes. Keep doing what you're doing, and thank you for sharing your adventure with us.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thsnks you for the comment. I really appreciate hearing from someone with real life experiences using the product.

[@hoopla1414]

I was in before 10k.......i will be part of the .001% someday!!!!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks Chad, I apricate that!

[@brendablystone9615]

I really like watching you're video I am new

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks for coming along on my weekend adventurers. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@franklinnieto5378]

Try putting Stabil in your gas for your generator.

[@johngoodin3445]

When you’re so far back in the sticks you can only get a single FM station remember the old adage. Your radio is only as good as the antenna. If you have a antenna on your vehicle of the screw on rod type and it’s bare metal. Simply attach a alligator clip to a long wire and hook the alligator clip to the Antenna. Most car rod antennas are generally no longer than a yard long. Just use a really long wire attached to the alligator clip. You can attach something like a rock to the wire to throw it up into the top of a tree. Something like a 100 feet will be much more effective than a 3 foot car antenna.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That's is an awesome idea! I'll have to carry that I the camper for those situations.

[@johngoodin3445]

It’s so true that your radio is only as good as your antenna. If you have something like any sort of old fashioned bare metal car antenna you can make it work for you better in a pinch if you have a way of making it taller. Just look at the type of car antenna that your vehicle has. If you can replace it with a solid metal antenna. Attach a old fashioned alligator clip to a really really long wire. Remember that you can get the wire really easily higher in a couple of ways. 1. You can simply attach a heavy object such as a rock and throw it up into the branches of a tree. 1. You can throw a weight really easily high with your fishing pole. Throw it high enough that you can pull it up over a high branch. Pull the fishing line down to you. You can then attach the long wire to your fishing line and pull it vertical. Remember that the higher the wire the better. 3. If you don’t have any trees just stop by any Dollar Tree and purchase a party balloon for $1.25. Then attach the balloon to the wire. I’ve got a portable radio that came with a FM Antenna jack. With the regular antenna I can get about three stations with the rod retracted. And about 23 with a 15 foot antenna connected to the jack. Good alternative for the rod antenna being busted. EBay sells 1/4 “ to 1/4 “ audio cables up to 100 feet. That’s 33 yards long. Good for a bug out situation then all of the local radio stations are down. And some if not all of the cell towers are down. Remember even under the best circumstances FM radio stations only have a range of about 35 miles even in a vehicle before the signal starts fading out. With a wire 100 feet up you’ll be able to hear more stations even in a SHTF scenario.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you so much! That's all great information. I use the small 10 metal whip antenna mounted to the top of the camper. I coild easily attach an alligator clip with a long length of bare wire. I appreciate the comment!

[@johngoodin3445]

It doesn’t have to be bare wire. In a SHTF scenario, something like old fashioned speaker wire might be better. You know the heavy gauge stuff RadioShack sold back in the 80s. It would be fairly well insulated yet flexible. When you put it away roll it up into a large coil. Over time that’s going to be better for it rather than bow tying it

[@charleswillingham510]

Have you thought about truck bed liner for the roof. And I definitely build some rock guards for the roof sides and front

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I was talking to a guy who went the truck bed liner route. There's no doubt that sounds awesome. The company even provides two lifetime warranties. (for you and the next owner) I'm not sure if my camper is a good candidate. It's going on 20 years old. He had it installed on a new 50k truck camper. I paid 6 grand for my camper 6 years ago. The roof would cost half of what I paid for the camper. I love my camper. I hope it lasts another ten years! But I'm not sure it would be a good investment on this old girl. 🤔 Who knows? I definitely couldn't afford another camper, so maybe the truck bed liner is a good idea. You give me a lot to think about. I'll definitely get a top coat on it sooner than later. Thanks for the comment!

[@aaaideas4U]

Starlink would be your answer to having connectivity. Luv mine.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That would be cool. I had to drop my internet service a few months ago. I only use my hot spot now. But when I do get internet again, I'll be looking at Starlink.

[@harold1632]

Be careful! Out there I would not go alone anywhere don't take any trip without company and don't take anything for granted

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks Harold. I appreciate your comment. We do live in a crazy world.

[@critters16]

🎉Happy 2 year anniversary! 🎊 And congratulations on 10,000 subscribers!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you!

[@theheilious]

Add a little Sta-Bil "Fast Fix" small motor additive to your genny tank...

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I do love that product. I've used it in a lot of my small gas engines. Unfortunately, this is run-off propane. Maybe I could put it in a spary bottle and feed it down the carb. Actually, that might work!?!
