Relaxing Campsite, Cooking over an Open Fire - Real Life Truck Camping.

This week, I set up camp at Rock Lake Campground. It's north of Pillsbury, Minnesota. Unfortunately, this week I said goodbye to my former father-in-law. I have known him for most of my life. He has taught me so many lessons and will truly be missed. My girls are absolutely heartbroken with the loss of their grandpa. Although I have been divorced from his daughter for 12 years, we never lost the family connection.
I was not going to make a video this week. I didn't think I would be in the right frame of mind to turn on the camera. Then, Saturday morning, before the service, I was talking with my former brother-in-law. (we have been best friends since elementary school) We reminisced about all the good times we had at Rock Lake. It was then that I realized the best way for me to honor the kid's grandpa would be to start a fire for him at one of his favorite campsites. He will truly be missed.
I am truly humbled by the regular viewers. I am so thankful for the awesome group of people who watch my videos. Not for shock factor of an exaggerated thumbnail and title. But instead for the love of nature and ability experience through my eyes what a real weekend of camping looks like.
If you made it this far... I truly appreciate you.
Kenny

Hi Kenny. My son (he just turned 14) and I just finished watching your latest video and I just wanted to say that your videos are very inspiring/inspirational not only the camping aspect but life in general. My wife died when my son was two and it's been just him and me. I work Monday thru Friday full-time and there's nothing more relaxing and inspiring than your videos. We always look forward to Tuesday. Just wanted to say thank you again. "Be kind and be honest"

Thank you. Will, I truly appreciate that. BTW I cought your last video. Those deserts in the camp stove looked amazing. You are a natural at speaking.

@@KennyOfAllTrades oh man, it was so good. Literally, the best dessert I’ve ever had while camping. You have to try it! I went to school for theatre so it definitely helps when putting these videos together. 😅

[@happydamcampers]

I really enjoy your videos! I just got my new to me truck camper (1997, lance 990 legend) the truck again after almost a year fixing the camper from water damage. Went away for a weekend with my girlfriend for the first journey since the Reno and now have taken it three weeks in a row for work out of town parking in Walmart parking lot. I love it can’t wait to get to some boondocking sites for fires etc. my new solar is working great and love cooking my own meals. Need to try some of the things you have done, I can’t do camp fires but have my three burner and oven. My condelemces to you well. I’m going through a separation so my ex’s side don’t talk to me.

Very sorry about your loss. Your video has an uncanny sense of timing. On Nov 11 also attended a celebration of Life for a friend who died suddenly at 54. He is the third friend in the past year who passed away in there early fifties. It makes one really think about how life is so short. We are not guaranteed tomorrow. Thanks for the great video. You still had me laughing at the cool breeze while having a sit down. Take care. I need to try that recipe.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks for watching! I'll tell you when that cold air pushes down the air pipe on the roof and shoots up between your legs it a wake-up call.

[@winnie198]

First I want to say how sorry I am for the loss of your father-in-law (former). Secondly I want to say that you are the Bob Ross of camping. You are just so relaxed and level headed. Some guys would be like "What the @*#$% is going on with my power?" Not you, Kenny. I love camping, but haven't done it in so many years. Happy trails!!!!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you for yhe kind comment.

[@TheLeep1]

Hello Kenny.I'm an older guy, 72, and live in Montana. We just lost my brother in September after 10 years in a terrible battle with cancer.He's my younger brother and I am the oldest..He was the bravest, toughest man I knew, but a gentle man and I miss my brother.He loved camping and flyfishing and hunting with me and our kids out here but had to move back to Penna 20 years ago.I am so sorry for your loss, Sir. I enjoy your camping videos a lot and my wife and i camp together but the kids are grown and do their own thing, and even our grandson we raised from just a little guy is grown and gone.But I find peace in the grand mountains and lakes and rivers here in Montana. Where I elk hunt I talk to my brother and remember things we did there hunting and just sitting and looking at the high peaks. There's the big dead Fir I had to cut off the trail to get out a big bull I shot over 20 years ago.I reallly like the relaxed way you have with your camping and videos.I appreciate them and hope you keep on..Take care..Norm,

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you for sharing your story. I love hearing how others find peace in nature. Take care.

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Oh Kenny, I’m so sorry about your ex father in law, I could feel the sadness. You did a great job honoring him by camping, starting the fire and cooking a fine meal. I’m glad you decided to camp, I know it must have been tough. And I also appreciate hearing the nature sounds, love hearing the birds sing. Have a good week ❤

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you.

Kenny do sorry to hear about you're father in law ..its always a very sad time & u try to keep yourself occupied as well.. the food looks amazing kind regards to the family & take care I love yourd vids it's always good to see u out in you're campervan!!

[@user-xi7gz6sz4w]

My father died 2 years ago, peacefully. We camped as a family in my youth. Jersey shore and and epic trip across the US. He was a Navy vet and loved the ocean. He gave me a love for camping. For some reason I feel close to him when my husband and I camp the Jersey shore. It's like his spirit is out there somewhere. Very special.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That is awesome to hear. I love hearing stories like this. It's nice to still feel comforted by our loved ones who are not here.

[@nancycarden2469]

[@richardkoch8752]

Wow Kenny, I am so sorry for the loss of a good friend that you had such a long history with. You know he would be pleased with the way you are remembering him. Sounds like you had a great relationship with him and now great memories to remember him with. My Dad has been gone for 42 years now but I think of him every day with great memories and smiles. He was only 59 when he passed, I'm 8 years older than he was when he passed. Doctor screwed up and treated him for pneumonia when actually it was CHF that took him. You have the right idea about life Kenny, enjoy and live it every day. Don't wait for retirement, I tried and never made it to retirement and I really regret it. I know I'm not alone when I can say I really enjoy your trips as I'm camping vicariously through you. The lasagna looked awesome! I just finished putting a bottom round roast on for supper but now I'm hungry for lasagna! LoL. Exactly how we make it here at home. Only difference we use regular lasagna pasta and simply run them under hot tap water, we don't cook them ahead of time. Kenny if you ever get around a Hy-Vee grocery store grab a couple jars of their spaghetti sauce with meat. No kidding it puts every other brand to shame! As always Kenny: Thanks for bringing us along with you and sharing your feelings. Rough day

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you Rick. I hope life has been looking up for you the last week. I have not seen a Hy-Vee before, so I checked on Google Maps. We do have them in Minnesota, but they are all down by the cities. I would rather have a tooth pulled than drive within an hour of the cities. 😆 I'll definitely keep the suggestion in mind. 59 is so young! My dad made it into his upper 60's, but he had some underlying health issues. Mandis mom passed at a very young age. It was just a few years back. But that's not my story to tell. The older I get, the faster time goes. Sometimes, it makes me sad seeing my girls grow up, but I tell myself that one day I'll have grand babies to hug and spoil. I do have a story of visiting a "reader" once. I told her I wanted to know when and how I die. She said she doesn't do those readings... but then she said for some reason she felt it would be ok. I always kept what she told me in mind while at work. I would roll up on a nightcap no-knock warrant and tell myself "Theres nothing to worry about. This isn't how i die." She also said Mandi and I will get married one day and saw us living on water......I will NEVER be able to afford a house on a lake....but I do have a small pond in my backyard. Maybe that's what she saw. 😆 Have a great week! I'm gonna start thinking about this weekend soon. I'll see ya again next week.

[@richardkoch8752]

Hi Kenny, Mandi, This week and next will be wild watching my wife go crazy for Thanksgiving. We will have 19 for lunch, six kids under 10 years old, 2 Golden Retriever Granddogs LOL.........OMG Fully understand about the Daughters, so many times ahead that they will make you so proud. I have seen my oldest son graduate from the Navy Nuclear Engineering Program and serve 13 years on a L.A. Class Fast Attack Sub. Middle Song graduated Magna Cum Laude as a Civil Engineer. Now designing Municipal Water systems. Youngest graduated from The Highway Patrol Academy at 20 years old. Joke was he wasn't old enough to enter bars to respond to fights LoL. He's 40 now, made Master Sergeant several years ago, his wife is a Asst. State Prosecutor, use to work for The State's Supreme Court's Chief Judge. The best thing is though they have given us 4 ornery Grandsons and 2 adorable Granddaughters. I know where you are coming from about job related mortality. My first call on my first day was a Bank Armed Robbery. The plates came back on a suspect that had armed & dangerous, Mental, Suicidal cautionaries. A State Trooper and I had a choke point set up on a highway. My Sheriff came by to check on me, was shocked that I wasn't given a vest yet so he gave me his. He told me "Rick, if you catch up with him you'll probably have to kill him...I replied "He'll make that decision for me" Wouldn't you know we had a vehicle and driver that matched the description. We got him pulled over.....poor guy didn't know what to think when the Trooper pulled down on him and I had my shotgun barrel stuck in his open passenger side window..............it wasn't the suspect. He took it great, said he had quite the story to tell his buddies. I really enjoyed my career, got to work with the local DEA Agents, did prisoner transport to ConAir for the US Marshall Service. One of the biggest thrills was after I had a knee replacement and got moved to Dispatch I got to Dispatch for my Son. Hilarious about your small pond. Maybe a houseboat on a lake or river? We have quite a few that dock here overnight on their travels on the Mississippi. I sure got long winded didn't I? Kenny, have a great rest of the week, stay safe and can't wait for next weeks video! @@KennyOfAllTrades

Sounds like you did an amazing job. ❤ Kenny and I were talking about you last night and said you should write a book about your life. I know I have lost most of my family including my mom and dad and would have loved for them to have something written up on stories of their life. “I think we may have even talked about this one other time?”which even more means that you should definitely do it!

That is very kind of you. I truly appreciate your comment.

Good morning Kenny, I was shocked to read that headline in your thumbnail. I’m so sorry for your lose. You are an absolute great inspiration for me. I’m from Germany and love it to see your videos… we should never forget how fast things could change. Greetings from Wolfsburg, Germany

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you Mike. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. I was in Germany recently visiting my brother. It was beyond beautiful, and the people were my style. It's funny because after walking into a few shops, Mandi said that she could tell my family is German.

[@mikebehmer]

@@KennyOfAllTrades yea, the difference between Americans and Germans are not pretty big. Is your brother still living in Germany? I will be back in America for around two weeks in May. I’m so happy to looking forward.

Best video of yours I’ve seen yet. You’re dialogue by the campfire…👍🏼

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

I lived in Minnesota over 20 yrs. No longer there but still miss it. Had a camper and put it to good use all in Minnesota. Particularly loved Lake Vermilion. And yes life is short. I’m retired now and doing as much as I can. I absolutely love having that second tank of fuel! It is frustrating finding places to camp.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May his memory always be for a blessing!

[@cpwatching5647]

Sorry for your loss. We are inspired by your adventures. We always enjoy you truck camping videos. Going to places to revisit memories to think about and honor those who we shared the outdoors with is the best. Take care.

[@Tractor_101]

Nice watching Camping with Steve great choice

[@jeffking6529]

Thanks for taking us along, great video.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LoveLess-mm9du]

Yummy 😋 meal . Am drooling 🤤.

[@larryb3332]

My condolences to you and your family Kenny. Thank you for doing what you do. Larry.

Great job on the lasagna. No sticking at all

[@davethomas5536]

Kenny, you certainly inspire. The outdoors helps heal in a special way. Sorry for your loss.

[@THHARRIS]

Wow! You have to admire a man that can cook lasagna in a dutch oven. That is some mad skills right there! I love, love the drone shot of the white/gray frosty looking trees in the beginning. They stood out so majestically. It really sucks to wake up to an empty propane tank…you had some bumps on this trip, but thankfully none on your head! Haha! This video was a great memorial to your FIL. We often forget that none of us makes it out of here alive. Time goes sooo fast..don’t blink. Don’t wait until (insert thing here). As of writing this, you have more than 11k views. I don’t think you really understand how much we love coming with you on your trips. We like you just the way you are. (Mr. Rogers flashback) Tuesday nights are such a good time to chill and hang out with you. Peace to your heart. Thanks for bringing us along! See you next week!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you for this comment. Your words mean a lot to me. I'm always in my head wondering if I'm wasting time on KZbin or actually providing useful content. I have a story about a deal I cut with God years back. My promise was to help people. But that's a story that I haven't decided to share at this time. Your comment helps me to feel like I'm doing something right.

[@THHARRIS]

You are indeed “helping people.” And I am one of them. Do you know why? Because I am in a wheelchair. Maybe for the rest of my life. I used to run the woods like a wild child. I am an old broad, so I really get excited when your drone shots give me an eagles view. And your walks in the woods and your exploring, let me live vicariously, and walk, for just a little while….through you. I am just one of 26k people that watch you. Let that thought and your actions ripple for a minute. You bring joy, peace and love. For free. I can’t thank you enough.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

It's my pleasure to have you out there with me every week!

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

Kenny don’t ever doubt yourself you sure are inspiration you are out there living your dream something lot of us wish we could do and say we gotta do and never do 🙁 keep your head up you are awesome god bless 🙏

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you.

With those fireplaces - you need to have a portable sauna tent to put over it - and have a great sweat - then run down to the freezing lake and jump in. Repeat 2-3 times and you will sleep like a big baby ! Screw fishing - go sauna !

[@Lisa_P73]

Oh Kenny, you are inspiring, like it or not, and refreshing. You're so relaxed and chill. No words of constant hate filled rants. You remind me personally that there are basic things that matter more than the constant "noise" most people have gotten accustomed to. I have ms, and your posts have been wonderful to watch. I still hope that one day I will be able to truck camping in my truck. Fingers crossed and God willing. I miss camping and being around a campfire and being in nature. All I can say to you as a fellow Minnesotan is THANK YOU for sharing, being you, and reminding us all to be kind and be honest. ❤

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you for the kind words and compliments. I hope you will get back out into nature soon. Stay safe.

[@Roger30303030]

My condolences. I watch you because you are inspiring and keep me grounded, that I can camp alone. Thank you for the recipe also.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks for watching

[@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures]

Thank you Kenny. I can’t wait to get my truck camper back out this spring. Your trips make me feel relaxed and inspired. I’m sorry for your loss as well. We can’t “wait” till we retire to do the things that inspire us because it may be too late then.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thank you so much! BTW the views of Alaska in your last video were awesome. I'm a little jealous we don't have snow yet.....wait.....I take that back. It was cool to see the HumVee on the trails. And I couldn't believe a Bronco comes factory with 37"s and bead locks. Must be the Raptor package. That Ford was sick! Great video.

[@genieabbi2531]

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Kenny.❤ Thank you again for sharing with us. Love from Mama Ree and the fur babies 💖

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks so much. I appreciate your kind words. 🙏

[@papprince]

Sorry for your loss Kenny. We are gonna have to try the lasagna over the fire.

[@peterclifton7069]
