Truck Camping in a Snowstorm, 13" of snow! Custom built Rotisserie

[@judil3294]

Many, many years ago we took a group of teens camping in Canadian winter. A Boy Scout troop had been there a week before and dug an open area about 10 feet down so we had a wall of snow all around us. We all just spread tarps and sleeping bags out, no tents, taught the kids how to make Bannock bread and bacon cooking over sticks. The campground had outhouses you had to climb down stairs of snow to. Next day we snowshoed around a small lake. Fun times.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That sounds awesome!

Hola, que tal! Que hermosos paisajes estuvo muy interesante tu video tu casa rodante se ve que es linda y muy comoda a esas costillitas yo las hubiera acompañado con unas tortillitas, aguacate y una salsita muy picosita asi como un cafecito bien calientito para entrar en calor porqu la verdad hasta aca se dejo sentir el frio.

I love watching you cook while camping. When we camped, I cooked a ham before leaving home and we had sandwiches, ham and eggs for breakfast, and ham and cheese and crackers on the beach. You are like the Julia Child of camping!

[@vertigo2229]

Hello Kenny, nice video. Please switch power off at camping board first then unplug your camper. All the best bro¡

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the tip. It does make sense to shut off the power, then unplug it.

[@vertigo2229]

@@KennyOfAllTrades Dear Kenny, my cable’s insulation was damaged, I got shock when rolling not disconnected cable. Be safe and happy bro!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

You bring up an excellent point. I can see how that would be very dangerous. I think shutting off the breaker first does make sense.

[@vertigo2229]

@@KennyOfAllTrades Hi Kenny, single camping is always risk. You can ask followers some questions like: should genset to be grounded or water tank disinfection sequence, or what first aid kit should contain; I often take stomach remedies just in case))). It will increase comments and some communication, people like to share experience. I like your video, music and contents, this is very peaceful, gorgeous and professional. Good luck Kenny and million views!

[@kkenneth100]

Brother Kenny, you have the perfect setup. I hope to do what you do someday and your setup is perfect for it. It looks really comfortable.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks, it definitely feels like a second home. Honestly, if I didn't have such a comfortable setup, I doubt that I would make these videos on my two days off every week. I get a lot comments saying "your not really camping," or "You should just stay home if you're gonna be in a camper like that." Some people don't get it. Tents were cool in my 20's and 30's. I'm almost 50. I like having a queen bed, bathroom, and full kitchen when I'm in the forest.

[@kkenneth100]

Hey Kenny, my dad was from Indianapolis Minnesota when he turned 17 he went into the Navy. He had to have his mother signed papers to let him go because he was only 17 We lost him in 2010. another great video Kenny keep on keeping on your videos with the music in the background it’s so soothing. When I come home from work all stressed out. I watch your channel perfect music, soft, comforting, and relaxing I like the drill spit. I would’ve never thought of that.

I do a LOT of BBQ Weber smokey mountain and weber kettle. Beef ribs are very good, they do edge out pork ST Louis by a hair. But waaay more money. Look for a 14”Weber Smokey Mountain.

[@deltabravo1257]

Good plan on leaving the slide in. Back in late March of 2011 I was returning from the Overland Expo in southern Arizona. At Bishop, CA, they shut down highway 395 due to snow. I had a massive detour over into Nevada, which must have added a half day to the trip. I got back on I-5 way up north near Mt Shasta, CA and then stopped for the night. It was snowing. I put my slide out. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER. There wasn't much snow, but it turned to ice on the roof of my slide. It was a sketchy nightmare crawling around on the roof of my AF 811 trying to clean the snow and ice off. It took about 8 years before I finally got around to installing a slide topper awning.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

The ice is exactly what I was thinking would happen. That was a time saver leaving the slide in
