Secret Campsite in Northern Minnesota

[@mandib757]

Awesome video!! love the real smile you gave when you found the camping spot. The night sky to the sunrise with the music should be on a relaxation video. It was beautiful and showed up great on my phone. I love all your viewers positive comments. You have a great group of supporters way to go crew!!

Wow! With out words, OK I will use words the sunset/rise video was fantastic ❤ it!

Great video.. so glad you caught a fish it been a minute since we’ve seen it on camera. And fyi I’m gunna buy hot dogs this weekend already hungry.. thanks for making the video

[@kathyboshart7695]

That was my favorite of your sunset videos! Such a nice campsite!

[@whuop-wadeshumbleopinion625]

Love the time lapse of the stars but that sunrise is as awesome as you said it would be, well done!❤

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@amysalzl2606]

@KennyOfAllTrades this is the lake access of our cabin!! Our place is at the end of that road. I sure as heck bet that the local you spoke with was my family or our neighbors. Thanks for not sharing the location…we welcome people to enjoy this special place, but have had some issues with rowdy campers that leave big messes. The faces on the tree were painted by my grandpa that passed away. So neat to see others enjoy that! They are creepy looking though, lol!! Glad you enjoyed your stay!! Come back to visit!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That wasn't an awesome spot, and I will definitely be back. I'm sure I spoke with one of your family members that day. He was a younger guy, well, probably in his early thirties.. He was super chill, and I could tell that he was loving life being at the cabin.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Lived in that general area for 8 yrs, and guarantee there is more than one camper there on certain weekends . The locals love those areas.

[@marthaledbetter9564]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@robertdodd9623]

Christmas came early for me today, I found Two of Kenny's videos I've never seen. As the kids say today, that campsite was Sick ! 🔥

[@RutherfordTony]

This is one of the best. The entire area was just peaceful and beautiful. I love water (lake) that is smooth as glass. It is the best fishing water or at least I think it. I cook dogs like that also. Good way to make the meat for several meals. Safe travels!

[@ericnunn8856]

Thanks for another video/ glad you had a little luck fishing!! Also nothing better than a good ol hotdog 🤙

[@ScottPipho-vv1ux]

The mosquito is Minnesota's other state bird.

[@mountainpride]

I wouldn't tell anyone either that was gorgeous. But how can you eat a hot dog with no mustard. I didn't think a ketchup only hot dog was fit for human consumption but you proved me wrong your still alive. Thanks for the video it was enjoyable to watch.

[@lisac5287]

What a sunrise. Thank you for your enjoyable videos.

Hey Kenny, Truck Camper Compadre Here Between Last Week And This Weeks Episodes... I'm Feeling A Little Bit ITCHY 🦟🦟🦟 Skeeters Just Love Me 😫 I Try To Carry At Least Two Types Of Bug Juice For Application To My Skin And Then Two Additional HD ( Deet ) For My Clothing. Keeping A Couple Of Hanging Bug Zappers Approximately 20' Range Also Helps Also. Beautiful/Tranquil Dispersed Camping Locations Are The Bomb!! Time Lapse Recording Is Outstanding. Caught A Glimpse Of The Big Dipper 🌌 Great Comeback For The Video Win !! Mandi's Advice Is Top Notch !! She Knows You Well 🤨 Safe Travels ✌️

And I thought the bugs were bad in Florida 😳! Winter will be the only time I'll want to visit there, originally from Chicago so the temps are easier to control for me then the flying critters.

[@ericperry9590]

What an awesome spot you found, I could have stayed there for a week. As for the video, you do what you always do, make it happen. You never know what you find driving in remote location. Thanks for another great video. Have a great week, looking forward to the next one.

[@vonniek347]

Loved the starry sky and sunrise!!!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks. I'm still trying to figure out the best settings for night sky's. The moon ended up becoming to bright for my shutter settings and washed out the video in the end. It did look cool though!

[@danieljames4247]

The best scenery you have shown us so far!! And anywhere up past Grand Rapids-- like towards Bigfork-- is the best in Minnesota. Thanks for sharing.

[@peatdeloosha2463]

The night and sunrise time lapse were amazing. I'm glad you keep some of your favorite spots to yourself. I have spots to that I don't talk about to people. They're not easy to find anymore. Wherever it was, hope you enjoy it for years to come. Thanks for another great episode.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I really appreciate your comment! I think a lot of outdoor enthusiasts have secret spots. Hunting spots, fishing spots, mushroom picking spots. The best sites are usually kept secret.

[@letitrest4662]

Thanks Kenny. Your videos are enjoyable. Its too bad though. We can explore Mars, but haven't figured out how to make mosquitos turn vegetarian.

[@AmericaBound]

Hey Kenny just a little tips to help you out while you're camping when I'm in my camper I burn a citronella candle which are cheap you can buy them any place for a dollar the dollar store even I have one burning in my camper and for Firestarter just take some cotton balls wipe a little bit of Vaseline on them put them in a sandwich bag and then take them with you and light one of those and it stops the fire right up hope those tips help keep on camping...

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Awesome tip!

[@shanehanson7514]

[@markhicks118]

at least I finally seen you catch a fish

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Just like the old saying, even a blind Squirrel will nut some days.

[@doodles2814]

So I'm guessing "dispersed" is another descriptive word for boondocking or no utilities, as in no water, power, etc. You found a great spot and I don't blame you one bit for keeping it secret! That's exactly the kind of camping I'd like to do and, most importantly, away from people. Of course the bugs are sure giving you a run for the money! Another great video in the bag!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Good question. I think if you were on BLM land setting up camp you would call it boondocking. The state forests and on public county land its called dispersed camping. Maybe it's because of the permanent fire rigs in place, I dint know? In my eyes it's all the same.

[@didibolter9362]

Kenny in Chicago we put mustard green relish and onions on our hot dogs! places that sell hot dogs have sign that read NO KETCHUP!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

When I was a kid I didn't like mustard at all. Now as I get older, I am liking the taste more and more. For the first time in my life, I can say that i could skip the ketchup on a dog. Thanks for watching!

[@kthom89]

Nice spot, how many cans of off do go though? The lake so peaceful thank you for sharing. I like mustard instead of ketchup and onions and pickle relish

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

3 cans I fogger and 1 can of Deet per week. I like relish when I'm feeling fancy. Lol Sometimes I crave a good hotdog. I was told about a food truck that comes around on Fridays that serves killer hotdogs. They steam the buns and use quality meats.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

It was to little. Lol I was thinking, maybe I should be the KZbinr who lives in the land of ten thousand lakes....but can't catch a fish to save his life...its looking that way. lol

@@KennyOfAllTrades 😉😂 We seriously doubt that, LOL. Fred and I get very excited if we even get a bite. However, we call our daughter the fish whisperer. She puts us to shame when we all go fishing. 🎣

So far I have not ran into anyone who watches my videos. If you ever see my camper out in the wild be sure to stop by and say hi. I hope to make it to the UP later this year. My dad's from Michigan and my Grandma still lives there, I really should plan a visit.

[@e-square9976]

Am in Michigan as well. I’m also in a truck camper but limited to how far I can travel due to caring for elders. Kenny is doing a fantastic job in his videos. I look forward to Tuesday evenings as his videos are calming. Much appreciated. And will look up your magazine.

Thank you.

[@charlesb4267]

I've never gone to a butcher store and bought home made hot dogs but as long as they don't throw in all the chemicals and garbage that the commercial processed meat companies do, it would actually be a good product to eat. You certainly got lucky on that find as well as the buns and you cooked those hot dogs to perfection. I prefer or trust hamburger/ground beef for the reason that I know what it is, just beef and nothing else. One day we will see a fish in the frying pan over the fire that you caught .... right ? LOL.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

The way its going????? Maybe one day you will see a fish in the pan. No promises though. The crazy thing is I have been fishing since I was a small child. I've owned multiple boats, fish houses, even on a fishing league for years. I've caught thousands, literally thousands of fish. The camera comes on.....no fish. Lol I actually think it's funny.

[@charlesb4267]

@@KennyOfAllTrades Those fish in Minnesota's 10,000 + lakes must be very camera shy but you did actually catch a fish so all is not lost. Speaking of burgers, I have a feeling you have some fancy way you prepare ground beef for burgers and by all means do up some big mean burgers this summer over the fire on video with an over sized fresh home made style burger bun and all the fixings you do, even some bacon and special cheeses as examples, whatever is your specialty. At least no one will razz you for not having caught the steer !

[@fdxguy1]

Great video showing nature's beauty in Minnesota. Do you try anything, such as sprays, to combat the mosquitoes and ticks?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I do use a fogger along with Deep Woods Off. I think it was the 20% Deet. I burn those coils and have a small propane repellent burner. Nothing was working well in the month of May and June.

[@goober9983]

That spot you camped at looked great. wonder why the mosquitoes weren't there, maybe no standing water around?

Caught one!!! 🐠 Lol Guess fishing league practice paid off for ya haha Man, don’t know if you noticed while editing or not, but your face absolutely lit up brighter than a full moon and you looked happier than a fat kid in a candy store when you found that spot! Another excellent video and a great save after a bad start to the weekend. So I read a tip for skeeter bites the other day…Orajel…haven’t tried myself yet so can’t attest to it working. Btw did I make a comment somewhere last week regarding a KZbinr you should check out…Linnea & Akela?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I'll check it out the channel. The Oregel is supposed to stop the itching? I thought about picking up some benadryl cream, or what ever the product is. It's funny you mentioned my smile. Mandi said the same thing when she watched the video. She said " Wow! It's the real Kenny on the camera" .

[@mikegupguthrie-futurenomad7866]

@@KennyOfAllTrades Yes, the Orajel is supposed to stop the itching. Makes sense, since it is a numbing agent for toothaches. The reason I mentioned the Linnea & Akela channel is because she is a full time KZbinr. I remember one of our first conversation where you said something about eventually earning money off KZbin so you could full time in your rig quicker. Check out Linnea & Akela Episode 3 - How I Became a Full Time KZbinr I thought some her tips might help you get there quicker. If I recall correctly, one tip was to put links of the products you use in your video descriptions. This helps you eventually (hopefully) land company product(s) sponsorship. Even if you don’t find this episode of interest…she’s not too bad on the old eyes lol

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Ill check it out. Now that my daughter is moving out I thought about renting the house. That would help with the financials. It's definitely a dream of mine to go full time. I have a lot of living left to do, but honestly, the idea of doing the same thing I'm doing now until I'm old enough to collect retirement is crushing my soul. I go to work, go home, go to bed, go to work, go home, go to bed...rinse, recycle, repeat 5 days a week, and only escape the monotony Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully one day soon I can find the courage to make my own path.

[@mikegupguthrie-futurenomad7866]

@@KennyOfAllTrades Oh I hear you about the soul crushing!!! You are a lot closer to going full time than I am. I’ve become addicted to KZbin of late and can thank Taylor for it lol as well as you, Vic, Linnea and a few others. Ever since I saw a vid of his a few months ago I decided full time is where I want to be. However, for a few reasons, I am not able and ready to become a nomad. Since that first vid of his I have slowly become addicted to KZbin watching and learning as much as possible so when the day comes where I can break from monotony of rinse, wash, repeat, I’ll be ready. When the time is right for you, you’ll know it; the cards will fall into place in due time for you my friend…at least you have your foot halfway out the door
