Relaxing Winter Camping in a Windstorm

This week's video, I'm bringing you to Greer Lake Campground in the Crow Wing State Forest. It is near Crosslake, Minnesota. I got off work Friday and saw the weather forecast was not looking good for outdoor activities. Saturday was calling for 30 mph winds with gusts up to 40. There had been multiple guesses of snow totals. I think by Saturday night, we picked up 3 inches of heavy, wet, sticky snow. Staying warm in the camper is not an issue as long as I have propane. Saturday night, I was awoke by the sound of my refrigerator beeping. Once again, I ran out of fuel in my primary tank. Thankfully, I have a 20-pounder on reserve in the fuel cabinet. It's about that time of year when I will be carrying a 3rd tank as well.
Ice fishing on Sunday was uneventful. I'm going to have to spend a full day on the ice and visit a lake that I'm familiar with. One of the big problems with fishing on the channel is dedicating enough time to fishing and not worrying about camera angles and content. I will pull fish through the ice this season. I promise that! I'm still considering putting out my ice shack near the house.
Some people have been asking for snowstorm videos. I can guarantee I'll be in the camper during this winter's storms.... as long as it lands on a Saturday or Sunday.
Thanks for coming out with me and braving elements this weekend. I'll see you again soon. Have a Merry Christmas if I don't see you before that!
The funeral hotdish recipe:
2lbs ground beef
1 diced onion
1 green pepper
1 can whole kernel corn
1 large can stewed tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
a few cloves of garlic , I didn't have any so I used garlic powder.
a squirt of ketchup to taste and/or
a few tablespoons of tomato paste
a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste.

Im sorry my regular closing is missing from this weeks video. For some reason I received a copyright claim against the closing song thats been used in every single video. I provided the proper documentation showing I have the licensing rights to the song. But the company continued to dispute the claim. My last option was to see legal counsel or trim out the last 20 seconds. So I'll say it here. We will do this again next week! Untill then, be kind, be honest, I'll see you down the road.

[@mikegupguthrie-futurenomad7866]

Well if that ain’t a crock of 💩! That sucks man! Anyways, hope you get it worked out! Even though music means it’s the end, I’ve grown accustomed to it over the years and it’s just not the same without it 😞

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I agree!! That company took about 300 bucks out of my pocket! All because of the last 20 seconds of the video. After 2.5 years, the videos are coming close to paying for the weekend....now it's gone. There is nothing I can do about it. Epidemic Sound provided me with someone to contact right away if it happens again. But that doesn't help this time. I completely understand why 99.9% of KZbinrs have sponcered videos. It's almost impossible to count on advertising revenue alone.

[@mikegupguthrie-futurenomad7866]

@@KennyOfAllTrades loss of $$ is a total bummer man! Sorry to hear you’re taking a hit like that! Ah yeah, so might be time for you to bring on the sponsorships after all and join the masses. Who knows, might even take your channel to the next level with access to new viewers. I know you’re concerned about losing those who helped get you this. However, I think I’ve said it before…you’re true followers/fans/YT friends will stay by your side and support you! You always have to look out for #1…you!!!

The "No Agenda" podcast does a value for value model. They put their effort into the show and if listeners find value in what they produce then they can contribute time, talent or treasure back. Set up a Patreon account. People already send cards to you and so forth. I think a lot of people would love to chip in a few bucks to say thank you for the value you bring to them every Tuesday. It would help you be less reliant on KZbins harsh judgements and I doubt a single one of your regular viewers would begrudge you for having an easy way for them to say thanks for all you do. Everybody knows you're not begging or demanding anything from us.

It is very beautiful. I was gonna try to get a few shots driving through the winter street decorations with the snow. Maybe my next video will have a Hallmark vibe.

[@rudycarlson8245]

@@KennyOfAllTrades how does the truck camper do in below zero weather? Is it easy to heat and does it keep the heat in?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

@rudycarlson8245 It stays warm in really cold temps. I've had a few videos last winter where I was out in -25 degree temps. I'm able to keep it at 65 - 70 degrees inside. It will go through a 20-pound tank in 2 days in those temperatures. The floor stays cold. You need to keep socks on. A fan would help to circulate the air. I don't have water in the tanks in the winter. The basement of the camper is insulated. There is a factory fan to keep that area warm, so a person can keep water in the tanks. I've done it before, but the cost of fuel and constant power to keep the basement fan running is substantial. It is a challenge and takes constant supervision. There is a big difference between a "four seasons" rated truck camper and a standard model. But just because a camper says it's four seasons rated doesn't mean it can handle -20 to -40 without modifications. I did a video showing my modifications 2 years ago. You can tell I was new to KZbin, but it's still has great info. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWa6e5yVhaaiptUsi=LMpruyx7rxtpE7o9

Awesome effort on fishing ! I fished a couple days ago with a cool front headed our way. Figured the fish might be biting , they were ! Sand bass were tearing it up ! Can't tell you how many times I go out and catch nothing but the wonderful feel of being at the waters edge . It truly is my solace from the troubles of this world . . . . Merry Christmas !

[@fatmonet]

As Kenny walks out of the camper, says it's dark outside. 'Let's go check out the the lake". I literally was shaking my head and saying "Noooooooooo", outloud. I thought, this it what it means when they say women live longer. Pitch black. Walking in 22° windy weather towards a lake covered in snow. Then "Let's go check out the ice". All I thought about was that poor food in the oven will not get eaten because Kenny broke through the ice, in the dark, with no life saving equipment for the "just in case".

My camper is fully usable with the slide in like yours. I love it. Super cold or windy? No problem - just leave the slide in. Very nice.
