[@timdulan]

Thanks Jack wagon, I'm sweating balls in my camper trying to figure out how to stay cool and you waste my time, title the video correctly, "watch me waste your time" should be the title,

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Someone is cranky! Settle down, toss some water on your face, and find a different channel. The title is "How I stay Cool in the Truck Camper". I explain exactly what you will see in the video during the first minute. What did you think the video was gonna be about!?? Lol The heat is getting to you!!

[@sad754yt]

@@KennyOfAllTrades I have to admit I understand where he is coming from. I clicked on thinking you were going to give some tricks or info on new devices for truck campers. As a full timer I have to be weather watching all the time since there is no way I can sleep or work in my camper when its is to hot. I have ac but shore power only at my land and daughters house. Tough to break out a inverter generator in a Cabelas or Walmart. I would not have ranted like him though.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I hear where you're coming from. But I titled the video how I cool off in a truck camper. The first 2 minutes of the video is me explaining that I am going to the North Shore on Lake Superior, where the temperatures are much cooler. I would gladly do a video showing how I run my air conditioner off of my inverter. But then negative comments pour in calling Me a corporate shill and sell out. Either way, people are going to have issues with the videos no matter what I do or say.

Hi Kenny! I’ve been watching your videos for about a month now. There was a time in the 70s when we traveled from Minnesota around the perimeter of the US for 6 months and I found myself reliving that great trip. Tonight I discovered your stay at Kathio State Park and that brought back memories, too! 😊 When I was a reporter/photographer for the Mille Lacs Messenger, I once stalked a pure white deer through those woods, taking photos of this magical animal which were then published. Thanks for the memories and taking us with you! ❤

I had been driving for a while before finding it, so I'm not sure exactly where I was. I know it was near the trestle bar. The good news is I've found some decent spots while looking for that one. You'll have to let me know if I was close by looking around the trestle bar.

My all-time favorite spot is not in Minnesota. It is a dispersed site I found in the Wyoming Medicine Bow National Forest. The views were out if this world. I made a video of it a few years back while on a road trip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m56beKVrjqaGn9Usi=-qyYSUsRr1uENpct There are soooooo many awesome spots in Minnesota. It would be hard to choose which one i liked the most. However, we have a number of negatives in the state as well. For example, the mosquitoes, deer flies, disease carrying wood ticks, super humid hot summers and insanely cold winters. But don't get me wrong, we do have a couple weeks of prime camping weather in the fall where we are not getting carried away by bugs...we just have to be careful of all the hunters in the woods during that time.

Texaco gas is $4 a gallon whereas Costco gas is $3.30 a gallon, but, what can a person do, people have to go to work, so they pay. Every Spring gas goes up in price, every Summer the price goes up and not just a few cents either. I don't remember what the price of gas was in the Fall or even now, sorry.

Love the scenery! Always wanted to go to Colorado but Minnesota looks pretty awesome.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Minnesota is really beautiful. We have 4 different zones of scenery. The NE is where I spend most of my time. The Sawthooth Mountains follow Lake Superior from the north to the south. (Although they are not mountains) The landscape looks like the Pacific Northwest. The southeast is referred to as a bluff country with its rolling hills. Small little picturesque towns dot the landscape. Church steeples from the center of town can be spotted from miles away. The southwest has endless rolling prairies. In fact, the books Little House and the Prairie were based from the town of Maple Grove Minnesota. The Northwest is referred to as the red river valley. The land is farm fields for as far as your eyes can see. The soil in that part of the state is super rich. I believe that the entire area was once covered by sea. I guess we do have a 5th zone. Its the 5 county twin city area. I call this the arm pit of Minnesota because it stinks.

Thanks, I appreciate that! I haven't towed anything yet. I have looked at what I would need if I did bring the boat with. This is only my opinion, I got nothing to back it up with. If I had a little tongue weight I would run a simple 18" hitch extension. Nothing fancy. Something that could be picked up at Harbor Freight cheaply. If I was towing anything substantial I would use a quality piece. I have nothing but good things to say about Torklift. I would go to E-trailer and order a SuperTruss hitch extension. That's my opinion. Thanks for checking out the videos.

Truck Camper Compadre Here In Addition To Kenny's Response... I Tow Often With My 2005 C2500 HD Long Bed ( 6.0 Gas / Auto Trans. ) 2WD With A 2021 Northstar Liberty ( 3200 lbs. Loaded Wet ) Flush With Rear Bumper. I Upgraded My Factory Rear Receiver Hitch With A SuperHitch 20K Unit And Tires ( 3750 lbs. / 10 Ply ) Tow My Polaris RZR On A 5.5' X 10' Single Axle Trailer ( 350 lbs. Tongue Wt. ) Or My 2004 Jeep Rubicon On A 6.5' X 14' Tandem Axle Trailer ( 650 lbs. Tongue Wt. ) Both Tow With Little To No Effort. Just Stay Within Your Truck's Payload And Tow Rating ( Sticker On Driver's Door Jam And Inside Glovebox / Owners Manual ) Of Course Every Vehicle Has It's Regulated Limitations That Must Be Adhered Too. Just My 2 Cents ✌️

Do you ever take the camper off the truck, so you can use your truck to cruise around

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Yes. I went to the Black Hills a few years back. I took off the camper so I could drive Needles Highway. I found a bunch of free dispersed camping outside of Custer. Funny enough, if you go to my channel page, the banner photo is at that exact campsite.

[@Gottha4]

Good video. How is your front basket hooked onto?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I ordered a 2" front receiver from E-trailer. I think it was 140 bucks. It took me 45 minutes to install. It dosent require any special tools. The most time consuming part was cutting the hole on the lower valance for the receiver to stick out. It has a weight rating of 500 pounds. The basket is from Harbor Freight. It's a rear basket for an ATV. It was on sale for 40 bucks. One day I'll carry a winch that is mounted to a 2" receiver in the back seat. That way I'll be able to get out of trouble on the logging roads I find myself on.

@@KennyOfAllTrades Thanks for the quick reply. That's what I was thinking for my Chevy too. Thanks, keep up the great videos.

Have you every tried a Thermacell for the mosquitos? I've heard they work good.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I have a thermacell that I keep on the steps of the camper. During the mid summer and fall they work good. During a spring or early summer hatch not much will controll the mosquitos. They will darken the sky when they start swarming after a big hatch. It can drive a person insane.

[@VanlilfewithDaleandBailey]

After watching many of your videos I was kind of wandering how many miles you put on your truck in a year?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I keep my millage records for taxes. Last year, I had 11,500 miles worth of weekend adventures.

[@VanlilfewithDaleandBailey]

@@KennyOfAllTrades That's not bad. I figured a lot more. I really like your style of videos. I try not to binge watch them to much.

[@BruceLeBlanc-s2m]

What is the apparent video recording rearview mirror?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

It's a rearview camera. I picked it up off Amazon. It's called Jansite. It cost 49 bucks. I suggest anyone who can't see behind their vehicle to have one. It really comes in handy.

[@cybersal7]

I am your friend but I too was disappointed not to find some cooling trick I could use here in my hot texas kitchen. Swamp cooler in a bamboo laundry basket came to mind. Till next time.

[@marjpatten3541]

What's up with your flashing dash

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

The frequencies between the dash lights and the frames per second on the camera line up, and you see a flash on the video. It doesn't flash when I'm driving, only on film.

[@goober9983]

wondered that too, the frame rate is different. @@KennyOfAllTrades

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

@goober9983 Bingo!

[@rickortiz3104]

Next time spend a little more money and invest in an air conditioner serves you right jack

[@johnlord8337]

You should be insanely happy with those gas prices - here it is $4.95/gal (87), higher for diesel.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Ouch!!!

[@johnlord8337]

@@KennyOfAllTrades Don't cough ! Here its $10/lb for 80/20 hamburger (up to $12-15/lb steaks), grocery store small roasted whole chicken $10, pork $8/lb. Even a bag of salad (!) is $5.

INSANITY

Maybe cut off some of the time getting the spot and more time at the spot and actually doing things while camping there.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I hear you. A lot of people gave that suggestion so I've changed it up. This video is from last year. I've cut out the adventure of finding a spot. Most people said they didn't care how I got there. They only wanted to see the camping. Initially, my idea for the channel was about the journey of finding the perfect camping spots. I have two days off work a week to make a video, so i would get in the camper with no plans and search for a remote campsite. But a lot of people say they are not interested in that. So now I've been focusing on the camping more.

[@MichaelSirico]

RIDICULOUS is a good word especially when The United States was energy independent 3 years ago. You can thank demented Joe Biden for those gas prices.

[@dianeash4560]

While yea some of the views were beautiful especially the drone shots Iwas bored with all the driving to get there video not to mention the wasting so much gas the way things are today to find a spot. Sorry but this was boring.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I totally get it. Which is why I mentioned it at the end of the video. I only make videos on Saturday and Sunday. I work a regular Monday through Friday job. I can stay close to home and do more hikes, or drive and do more scenery shots. This time I chose to drive. But thanks for watching.

[@goober9983]

i guess she's not a fan @@KennyOfAllTrades

[@IggnantOG]

I'll be right behind you soon. With a setup like yours. Pulling a trailer ain't my gig.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Truck camper are really handy. I forget that it's in the back of the truck sometimes. It's my 4 star hotel room on wheels.
