Relax and Enjoy Creek Camping, My Way

[@karensready1]

Ken, I know this has been said numerous times, but your videos really do help me de-stress! Thanks for taking me on a virtual relaxing camp out. Karen.

[@KennethKramm]

You're welcome Karen

[@chadmyre1522]

As someone who spent a good bit of time frolicking through local creeks in my city as a youth, I found this video fantastic and very well done.

[@KennethKramm]

+ROYAL ACE Thanks my friend ...ken

[@coldcreekkid1398]

Ken, I know I've said it more than once, but thank you once again for taking the time to gift us with your incredibly peaceful, educational, and historically illuminating videos.

[@jacqueline7118]

Great over night stay Ken, love hearing that Creek trickling! Thanks for sharing!

[@jaglinuxmint]

Wow, you did a full PADMASANA (lotus pose) and also the Cradle pose (where you lifted yourself while in the Padmasana). I am 34 and can't do it...:-).....Superb! This video is very relaxing and very meditative....the sound of water in nature is like medicine. Really enjoyed it....watching it a 3rd time now...

[@KennethKramm]

+jaglinuxmint Thanks. I'm learning and a beginner at Yoga. I can do a few poses, but others are no longer possible for my 70 yo body.

[@jaglinuxmint]

+KennethKramm Wish you all success Ken, you are already a pro!

[@mistadontplay52]

Nice video...Simple, peaceful, and is just a great way of living life outdoors and all that nature has to offer!

[@cyndiaiden4022]

Even though I never met you, your spirit feels like an old friend! Thank you1

[@KennethKramm]

I appreciate your kind words, Cyndi.

[@TheLmori3]

Thanks for inviting us on another camping adventure in a beautiful place.

[@KennethKramm]

themori3 You're welcome!

[@DonnyOutdoors]

A wonderful spot! How relaxing, right next to the water. I love your multi-use items. Perfect for lighter weight camping. Enjoyable as always. Peace...Donny.

[@KennethKramm]

DonnyOutdoors Hi Donny. Thanks for watching and chilling out with me. You will enjoy the video I'm uploading now. It is an autumn postcard from the Spring Creek Greenway. This is bottomland (swampy area near Houston) that that has been made into a wildlife preserve (day use only). I often walk the trails this time of year. Very relaxing. Peace, Ken

[@Baysailor84]

I love your videos. I am striving to go into the natural world with the sort of grace you show while camping. Best wishes, and thank you for your videos. My wife and I love them.

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks Aaron. I'm glad that you and your wive enjoy my videos. Have a good weekend, my friend. Ken

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Very nice ken! Hammock are sure the way to go!

[@terri6342]

Wow! I am going to miss you Ken. You have provided great content. Thank you.

[@STANDupPhilosopher73]

Absolutely beautiful place to camp, thank you for sharing Ken.

[@KennethKramm]

+Overgrown This is one of my favorite places to relax...

[@oknad49]

I really enjoyed this relaxing camping video! Looks like you have found the perfect spot to set up your hammock and take it easy. ... I especially enjoyed the soothing sounds of the creek near you. ...I just subscribed to your channel after watching this and am looking forward to what next you have to share with us! ...

[@Edogawa1117]

Great job,Ken. The sound of both the creek and your voice is so soothing!

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks!

[@asker857]

A brook's murmur...the most relaxing sound to me....from childhood memories...reminds me of pleasant and happy times spent with my father in our little Filipino farm....

[@KennethKramm]

+Fireman Hermie It is more relaxing than you can believe to sleep next to a brook. Thanks for watching and commenting.....

[@hbonin]

Thank you Ken! I really love your videos, I've learned so much from them, now I cant wait for summer to come here in Quebec, so that I can go out and connect with nature once again! So yeah, thank you, and keep those vids coming, they're great! Peace!! :)

[@manpower386ify]

This is very relaxing 😊 Thank you, Ken!

[@ShazBookOwl]

That was so beautiful. The natural scenery of the place is certainly very peaceful. Very interesting yoga positions there; don't think I could balance on my arms like that. Thanks so much for taking us along on this awesome journey. Cheers & atb

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks for both watching and your kind words ATB ... Ken

[@BlueowlProductions]

Easily my favorite video on your channel. Thanks, Ken!

[@KennethKramm]

+BlueowlProductions Thank you!

[@cactusrider7686]

Ken, always informative and relaxing as usual. I must compliment your sound. I love how you captured the bubbling brook. Nature's soundtrack is all I need.

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks Andres. The naturals sounds were amazing. Every time I turned my head or moved slightly, the creek sounded different. It was amazing to "feel" the sounds come from different directions. Superimposed on the creek sounds were the cheeps from squirrels, chatter from birds and chirping of crickets and frogs .... which continually changed depending on time of day, wind and temperatures Most locations were I hike and camp are not as interesting and relaxing as Krause Springs. ATB, Ken

[@E.lectricityNorth]

I kind of wanted to perform the universal "oooooohm" resonant tone at the end there by the waterfall with you. Great video--nice to find such a peaceful place so close to home.

[@KennethKramm]

+E. Lectricity Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.

[@born2tx]

That water rippling by sure was peaceful!

[@KennethKramm]

Kowpoke Kev Thanks!

[@carolmckay9067]

Hello there Kenneth, Long time no see ; ) It's been a very long Winter here in Boston, as you may have heard, we broke a lot of records for snow fall this Winter, It's the first day that it's been over 40degrees in the AM in about 3 months : ( This was an incredibly relaxing video, I so wish that I was there by that creek in a hammock right now !! Being cooped up since January with all our snow , this video really made me remember just how much I LOVE the out doors and nature, Thank You for that ; ) Also, those ash cakes looked really delicious, I know I would love them! Take Care Ken, and A Happy, Healthy New Year to you & family! Happy Trails, Carol in Boston : ) xo

[@ThePatriot4freedom]

I really enjoyed the 18th century camping videos.. they were very informative. Also, it is cool to see things done in a more historical manner. thanks for the videos!

[@KennethKramm]

ThePatriot4freedom Thanks. I'm planning to do more 1800s videos .... but it may be a while, since they require considerable research and planning...

[@ThePatriot4freedom]

understandable. thanks!

[@bobbyharper8710]

I made some of your ash cake tonight. It definitely is the best bread treat I've found. Thanks so much.

[@KennethKramm]

[@KennethKramm]

Hi Andree. Thanks for watching, my friend. Texas certainly has a different climate from your part of the world! As you can see in the vid, I'm still using the sleeping bag, that I modified for your subscriber contest a few years ago! Take care, my friend. ...Ken

[@scoutingfreegermany]

Awesome Ken, and hats off to your yoga skills! Cheers, Marc

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks!

[@reptilehead1968]

What a beautiful video Ken, shot at a beautiful location too. I bet going to sleep and waking up to the sounds of that water were amazing! A great camping trip......happy you enjoyed it! :-) Stay safe! ATB

[@KennethKramm]

Krause Springs is a small, privately owned park. Beautiful place and soooooo relaxing. ATB, Ken

[@savedpurplecat]

Nice place to set up Ken, never seen cake done that way before, like the way you sold it to the kids! :) Tim

[@KennethKramm]

Nice video Ken. I'm totally relaxed...lol Enjoy & be safe!

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks for watching Dennis. Krause is one of my favorite places to enjoy nature. The sound of falling water is so relaxing....

[@ramdor72]

marvellous Ken, and that bag, very ingenious ! a magical place. atb Richie.

[@KennethKramm]

ramdor72 Krause Springs is one of my favorite places. Although it is small, this privately owned park has a great deal of magic! The bag is useful for minimalist camping. I just added a link to a video (from two years ago) that shows me making the bag. ATB, Ken

[@SUEvivalSeries]

Enjoyed your video very much...you gave me some great thoughts on modifying my hammock to include a tarp. Thank you for the peaceful video that i was able to enjoy so many of the things around you...it was like being there myself.

[@KennethKramm]

Dave McKergan Thanks Dave. This was certainly a relaxing place to spend a couple of days.... ATB, Ken

[@MagnusDominus1]

This location is quite popular. I saw a lot of "extras" in you video. I like creeks and water falls.

[@KennethKramm]

Magnus Dominus Oh yes, this is a very popular place. More than 100 fellow campers were at this private park when I was. Most folks sleep near their cars in sandy / grassy areas; but there are no designated camping areas .... so I chose the creek.

[@jbbennett2816]

Looks like you found "paradise". Jb.

[@BumblingBushcraft]

Saved this one for a day I felt the need to get in some relax time...breaking it out now. Thanks for sharing :-)

[@KennethKramm]

Ahhh... Thanks for saving my video. It was a super, relaxing weekend. Certainly, our climate is much warmer than yours..... enjoy (but I whish it would sometimes get cold enough here to snow!). ATB, Ken

[@themiwoodsman7222]

awesome video kenneth , i also think a cave camp would be very cool ! wow that was record setting pace on setting up the hammock LOL ! what a beautiful and peaceful spot you picked out ,flint and steel my favorite way to make fire and a very good idea on the mini leave no trace fire pit ! love the multi-purpose sleeping coat !and the hammock tarp great stuff ! enjoyed the video as always Kenneth it was relaxing ! atb john

[@KennethKramm]

the mi woodsman Thanks John. Krause Springs is a beautiful, relaxing place. ATB, Ken

Great video Ken , though i would really like it if you did a video of camping/hiking in you tent,?.

[@lolobotius]

It was very relaxing to watch. Thanks! Do more videos like this one.

Thank You!

[@TurtleBushcraft]

Awesome use of a tarp. thanks for the video.

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks~

[@trevorinaction]

Wow that was really cool! It was fun and spiritual. The hammock gives me so much idea about modifying my old hammock by adding some durable loops on four sides and double up as a cot. That will be my next project. I always enjoy watching your video, please keep them coming. Peace from Malaysia.

[@KennethKramm]

Trevor Lee Thanks for watching and taking time to comment from Malaysia. Much appreciated, my friend. Peace, Ken

[@samacf1977]

ESPECTACULAR ACTITUD.... GRACIAS

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Ken, A lovely peaceful video and a great ending. Go careful near the rocks and water, a slip and a fall in that situation could be bad news. Even a young person like for example Me! haha would find those rocks a little tricky. Maybe when creek camping it is good to go in the company of others. Take care and Peace. Sandy

[@KennethKramm]

Hi Sandy. Rest assured, I was not alone. Krause Springs is a privately owned camping area. There were 200+ other people nearby when I camped last weekend. The large house of the property owner was right above the waterfall I sat under. It was difficult to keep their sounds out of the videos. They were right next to me! Everyone soaking in stye restful tranquility of the 32 springs that are only on the property. They generally don't start roaming around until 9am, so early mornings are peaceful This is an awesome place with butterfly gardens, waterfalls, small lakes and large cypress tress. A few years ago I slept inside one of the hollow trees. The hollow tree was 10 feet across on the inside. At least 6 of my YTubes have been filmed at Krause Springs. No mosquitoes here because water is always flowing. Many photographers come here. Someday, I would like to fly a quad-copter from house and butterfly gardens above the waterfall and lake... down to the fantastic area and along the creeks. Peace, Ken

[@KennethKramm]

KennethKramm Big smile! I was raised by mountain goats. We hiked rocky trails every weekend and climbed boulders in the deserts of California. Awesome memories. When I was 6 years old I started climbing sign boards..and would walk home from school taking the short cuts by walking the tops of fences. Bob Knight thinks I'm a mountain goat too! In our last camping trip Bob saw me half way up a cliff and asked, "How did you get there?"

[@WiltshireMan]

KennethKramm Sounds great fun Ken you would put many folk half your age to shame.. Quad copters are becoming affordable now and quite reliable. The video taken from them can be extremely stable when the camera is mounted on a gimbal. I love my copter it is a really useful tool for videography. However they have to be used with care as some folk do not like them. They can be intrusive and also scare wild life so you have to use them with caution. The UK is easy at the moment with regards to regulations but I can see things tightening up in the future. I hope I will always have the copter now. Infact I am thinking of building a Hexacopter as the two extra motors ensures the craft will remain airbourne should a prop or motor become damaged. Sandy

[@KennethKramm]

Wiltshire Man I know that some folks don't like them: especially my wife and my daughter. My daughter said the quad-copters ruined her scenic vacation .... When I get mine, I will need to be careful where and how I use it. I don't want areal videography to be a detraction for others who want to enjoy the scenic beauty of nature.

[@RiverBendSurvival]

Very nice Ken! So much water up around you......like a whole different country....lol

[@KennethKramm]

RiverBendSurvival Krause Springs is a small, privately owned park with 32 springs and 2 waterfalls. Always relaxing and never any mosquitoes! The Krause family opened their property to the public in the early 1960s. The owners are awesome folks...

[@RealNowTruth]

Looked like a great time in the woods. Jotted down that ash cake recipe, will use. The doggie bowl with sticks in it for a small cooking/camp fire is brilliant. Always looking for ways to lighten my load. Seems that water is now the heaviest thing I carry, and I won't carry less than 3 liters unless I know there is stream activity nearby.

[@KennethKramm]

***** I had a blast. Too bad you can't drink dehydrated water. Ha ha.... Take Care, Ken

so you made the "not so mummy bag" HA HA I like it..iam surprised someone don't make that commercially today:)

[@KennethKramm]

+40belowful There is a commercial versions of this bag, but it was much cheeper to make my own.

[@ClintHollingsworth]

Enjoyed this video very much. Very peaceful, I could watch it several times. If I may ask a question (or two) how much does that tarp weigh? I like sylnylon, but it's very flammable. Also, how do you keep your feet warm with the sleeping bag mod? Is the tarp commercially available? -Thanks! Oh! and is that an ALICE ruck? (I have that same shoulder bag too. They're great!)

i like it - no rain tarp, no rain coat, no rubber boots, no wool shirt, no long johns, wool socks, winter hat etc etc; nice an warm and dry....!

[@KennethKramm]

No need for any of that in Texas. Wool clothing is not sold in stores here. Maybe we get a few frosts ever year. And if we are very lucky, it might briefly snow. ATB, Ken

[@floydstinkyboy]

Kenneth, you could almost be in the Yosemite Valley, looks much the same, has the same soft light, thanks for the video

[@KennethKramm]

I love Yosemite!

[@Bob808Knight]

Hi Ken . The cave would have been nice to camping but that location you picked for your campsite was freaking awesome. I am really impressed with that canvas tarp. It has so many uses. I will have to try making those ash cakes.. They did look really good. Never had the Alpine products before. I don't think they sell them anywhere in my region . I bet I can find them on Amazon. I'll have to look. Was that water really cold ? I noticed you get around a lot better on the rocks barefoot then you do with shoes on. I think your part mountain goat . :-) that waterfall was freaking awesome. Was there a cave behind it? I really enjoyed the video ken I wish I could have came along with you. I don't think I would have been able to do those yoga move you did. I don't have enough coordination lol. I'll talk to you later ken. .... Peace. PS I figured out how to do two thumbs up :-)

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks Bob. I was totally impressed with the tarp. And the sleeping bag jacket will save weight, when we go camping this spring! You know, indigestion is never a problem after eating ash cakes! The water wasn't cold...just cool, same temp year round. Yes, I can climb the rocks much better without shoes on (as long as I don't step into any cactus! Maybe I'm part cave-man, as one subscriber suggested. My wife tells me that I should have been born thousands of years ago (I take this as a compliment). You can't imagine what happens under that waterfall! (I will tell you in private what I have seen folks doing.... and it's really gets interesting at night = to see young couples, go over to the falls in moonlight AND then come the fireflies. There a small cave behind this small waterfall AND there is a large cave behind the big waterfall that flows into a small lake. I like to swim behind the big waterfall into the cave (which is about 10 feet deep and some folks swim underwater to yet another cave (but I'm afraid that I'd get stuck under water). You would LOVE this place! But beware, snakes are sometime in the caves, including the water snakes in the cave behind the waterfalls! Probably rats too. Two thumbs up! cool. Your'e a pro, Bob!

[@bunnyhug4365]

Let me guess, creepy Ken is sitting there with his night vision goggles watching these young couples do what they do behind the waterfall. 😯

Big smile, Billy Joe! You are my teacher..... ken

[@Huwie73]

Hi Ken. Great modifications to your tarp /hammock and also your sleeping bag -it's given me thought for new projects. The 'plate' fire was a nice touch brother. Changing the subject Ken, I commented a while ago on your water distillation kit regarding the extra cap (secondary bottle top section). I know Bob had issues with the seal -ever thought about putting some stainless wire wool in the neck of the bottle to stop carry-over rather than another bottle top? Removes the carry-over and the leakage issues? Should increase the efficiency a little and maximise your resources. ATB Huw.

[@KennethKramm]

Huw Sands That's a good idea to test with stainless steel wire wool. Bob used a larger bottle than I tested and that may be part of the issues. I had not leakage issue with my smaller bottle 750ml versus the 1.5 L bottle he used. Thanks for commenting and suggesting additional approaches to test. ATB, Ken

[@TRV550]

Thanks for another great video Ken and bringing us along on your trip. You sure know how to enjoy life. You take nothing for granted. You see the beauty in all things and that is where you get your love of life. Thanks M friend ! One question. Would I be able to make that Ash Cake in an iron skillet? Enjoy & be safe!

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks Dennis. I guess it would be possible to make ash cake in an iron skillet, but typically they are made on the coals/ashes of a campfire.

[@David-fv7zg]

Fantastic site for relaxation ken. Looks like you found a nice go to place for some peace and quiet. Do you have a resource for that tarp hammock? It may have been on a previous video, but I may have missed it. Thanks again for sharing.

[@KennethKramm]

Dave Pruitt do a google search for The Hidden Woodsmen (malcolm) and your will find his Facebook page. He makes custom tarp/fabric items. Telll he what what size, type of fabric you want and how you plan to use it. It will cut it to your requested dimensions, sew the seams and attachments. Let him know if you want to use it also as a hammock, and the sewing will be made extra strong.

[@OregonMike]

Getting close to your roots :)

[@KennethKramm]

Big smile! Literally ...

[@phonecards1]

Dont know if you monitor your older videos but still wanted to say thanks.

[@KennethKramm]

Thanks for watching and taking time to comment Bobby. ATB, Ken

[@pamwhiteeagle9818]

HOW VERY BEAUTIFUL.............

[@StateParkers]

Shared it. Hey man, one trick I may have to experiment with a little is the camera following the feet. That is if you don't mind. I think that is an excellent way to deliver the most important part of the hike to your audience. Where the feet go. Melody and I stared at this video. Always comical during meals. Whether that is intended, only you know. But your food scenes are very entertaining.

[@KennethKramm]

State Parkers Big smile. Hiking is where the feet go. Enjoy the ash cakes!

[@BluegrassBushcraft]

Awesome video Ken. Great editing also. I've got to try that ash cake. Atb. Robert

[@KennethKramm]

BluegrassBushcraft Thanks Robert!

[@LarryVickery]

Excellent! I think my heartbeat slowed considerably just watching. The minimalist style that still focuses on comfort and good food just adds to the relaxation. The tarp hammock is a great design; the sleeping bag wearability alteration is great. I like being able to hike it up for walking around and sitting, and it certainly would make having to get up in the middle of a cold night a lot less painful! A second layer sewn onto the tarp could work well for lower temps. It could be a real light material to avoid adding much weight to the hammock. Then you could make a sandwich of any insulating material or insulating pad. I tried a mylar lined poly weave tarp under a fleece blanket and my backside stayed cozy in the 40's.

[@MountainRaider]

great video Ken;awesome cake:)

[@KennethKramm]

mountainman Thanks, bro. It was an awesome, relaxing weekend!

[@alzathoth]

Kenneth! Fantastic video! I am sad to see that you do not to 18th century videos anymore. your bedroll haversack videos were great. I like historical camping. I am very interested in your hammock setup. did you just thread cordage through the grommets to suspend it? I was looking for a tarp setup, but am unsure on where/how to start. a video on how you made your tarp would be grand! thanks again for the great videos! :) - Al

[@KennethKramm]

alzathoth More historical 1800s videos will appear again. Stay tuned ... For now I'm taking a break from the research (and acting) they they require. I purchased this custom made tarp (as I don't have a sewing mating) from The Hidden Woodsmen. Check out his Facebook page, concerning how to order one.

[@alzathoth]

+KennethKramm its' too bad the hidden woodsman doesn't make your tarp anymore. looks like you now have a collectors' edition! :)

[@KyleC8]

Hi Ken, I live in Dallas but love camping all over this great state. I am curious where your journey took you this time as I would very much like to go there myself. I love simple hammock and tent camping but I don't think I have been anywhere that peaceful in some time. Do you have a list of places you like to go? Or a particularource for scouting out these wonderful adventures? Thanks for sharing. I love watching your videos and using them as points of reference for my own adventures.

[@KennethKramm]

Kyle C Hi Kyle. There are some beautiful places to camp in Texas. I guess my favorites are on the 200 or so YTs on my channel. Some of the places, like Krause Springs (this trip) are very small and privately owned. It is too small for hiking, but is more suited to relaxing. The best time is during the week, because there are fewer folks. If you know of places that you like, let me know. I'm always looking for new places.... ATB, Ken

Thanks. The stainless steel canteen is an vodka bottle (full bottle costs $22; about the size of same empty stainless steel canteen) and cup was purchased from Gander Mountain. The two fit together, by accident.

Another good video. You always mention the camera you use. Was it the vixia G10 or something else. Also I must complement you for being so flexible at your age. You are truly an inspiration to the young and old alike. Thru these videos you make and post, it teaches the young ones how to enjoy the simple things in life. Keep more coming.
