Thanks 👍I really appreciate that. It's ALOT of work. I'm a State Employee with the Department of Public Safty, so I only have 1.5 days to make a video every week. This last weekend I forgot to put on my microphone all day Saturday. Such a waste of fuel, groceries, and time for nothing. I hope I don't do that again.
As a professional camp dawg breed expert, I’m going to have to say he is definitely pure bred. He appears to be a 100% good boy. No doubt about it. I lost my camp dawg recently to cancer. As we speak my in-laws are heading home after picking up my new pup, Diesel. While he will never be my wingman Gunner, I’m looking forward to introducing him to the camping/fishing life. Toby looks like he’s made himself right at home.
I've been enjoying your videos for a couple of months now and am really enjoying them. I feel very comfortable with you on my screen and your demeanor is so calm that I feel refreshed after watching you. I' was born and raised in the U.P. of Michigan, currently living in Idaho. Your winter camping videos are so beautiful and remind me of home and childhood. Toby is quite the pup and is handsome as can be with a demeanor as calm as yours - you're a great match. Anyway, thanks for what you do. When I look around inside your camper and look out the windows and see the the night sky, I feel like it's home.
First of all, thank you for adopting a rescue dog. Second, I think you found a winner in Toby. Third, I love dogs,and I look forward to vicariously having a dog through your videos. Keep up the great work!
Kenny, happy to see you have a camping partner even happier you rescued this beautiful little pooch you've given this little guy a happy future ... Kenny you're da best😊
I would be lost without my dog. I was lost when I had my last dog put to sleep after 15.5 years. I don’t trust anyone who does not like dogs. What a great looking pup! I go to a farm every two weeks with my dog. He has been going with me since week one. He took right to it. He knows the routine. We always make time for those and the things we love.
Toby is a pibbs. We just said goodbye to our sweet pibby this year. She was the best. Never nipped at anyone or anything. Pit bulls get a bad rap. Enjoy Toby.
I watched a video today from Simple Living Alaska, which was a tribute to one of their dogs they just put down. Now I am watching your video with your new best friend. It really is amazing how the circle of life works.
“Making’ ice” is how I’ve heard it explained. Toby is a great looking pup with a super disposition…probably still nervous. He got lucky finding a nice owner. Congratulations Kenny!
Hi Kenny! Binge watching your videos as we are currently winter camping in Merritt British Columbia. We have a dodge 3500 and adventurer camper and spend more time living in this unit than we do in our home :) We come to Minnesota every summer as I have family in Frazee. We can’t wait to get back in July and would love to meet up if you and Mandy were interested.Thank you for all of your time, energy, kindness, practicality and love you put into your videos.
"You've been hanging out with me and Toby all weekend long. I think that's just about long enough." No, sir, it is not lol! Seriously though, I've been binging. I could sit here all day watch your videos! You and Toby are awesome! He really is such a good boy!
Awe so sweet and wonderful what a champ he will be and give you so much comfort and joy in your journeys. Just be prepared he will Rolland rub in the stinkiest stuff and be proud.
What a sweet sweet puppy! Pretty sure he is an American Stafforsdshire Terrier (Staffie) which is also in the pit bull family. At the very least a pit/chocolate lab mix. Thank you for saving him....rescue stories make me cry. Our Staffie was the best rescue we ever had; a loving, loyal dog who wants nothing more than to make you the center of his universe. Enjoy him...he will love you and bring you joy til his last breath......Many happy days ahead......
Love the new camping partner. Be careful on that ice. We had a snowmobile go through the ice with 2 teens on it, here in the U.P. and unfortunately one did not survive. It's been a bad year for ice and snowmobiling.
Toby looks like a Pitbull/Lab mix. He seems shy and pensive, but as he gets more used to traveling and the camper he’ll become bolder. Cute dog. Nice to have company and he’ll alert to noises, by hopefully barking if he’s suspicious. Glad you found a travel buddy. Just started watching your videos, which are scenic, relaxing, and travel is always an adventure. Thanks for showing your camper travels!
Congrats on finding your Mini Me! Two chill dudes!! I'm thinking he's chocolate lab, those eyes are a giveaway, and boxer or pit mix. Trucks know when they are paid off or about to be!
I so enjoy your channel. It is very calming. You are very kind and we need more gentlemen like you. Watching the video with Adele your daughter who is beautiful. So happy I came across your channel. 😊
I have a winter jacket that is a match for Toby's jacket. Dark blue on top and light blue on the bottom. It is too small for you or I'd send it so you could match
He is adorable. I hope he brings you great joy. He looks already at home. Thank you for adopting him and giving him a second chance. It breaks my heart that there are so many abandoned and forgotten animals.
I have to say that yesterday’s “KOAT Video No. 140” was a pretty special, and it was a pleasure to meet your new co-pilot and camping buddy. You guys are going to have fun! As usual, your videography and storytelling were beautiful and just what my Tuesday night needed. We definitely appreciate all the effort you go through in putting out these weekly stories. Although I imagine that Toby is going to be a bit confused at first as to who you’re always talking to if it’s not him, and why you’re always going back and forth setting and retrieving video gear. Hope he doesn’t get jealous of your cameras! As life goes on… my adult kid’s dog (I guess he was my ‘grand-dog’, Rico) left us on just this past weekend before your video. I tried to explain to my 3 & 5 year old granddaughters how and why our pets die. Not sure they understand at this age, but by showing them your video, they now know that even though they can miss their pup, sometimes a new best friend can be just around the corner.
I'm so sorry for your familys loss. You did a good job talking to the grandkids. It's hard for us as adults, but kids really have a hard time processing the loss. My sincere sympathy.
Just found your channel through our YT stats. You really have some excellent content. The opening sequence of driving in the dark was amazing. 👍👍 We might be back in Minnesota this summer or next, we will be checking out more of your videos to get the lay of the land. Oh… that’s a great dog you got there! -Jim
Thanks Jim! I appreciate the comment. I don't put exact locations to the remote campsites on RUclips. I always mention the names and locations of the established rustic sites I visit. If you get into northern Minnesota and are looking for a spot, feel free to send me an email. It's in the channel description. Have fun and safe travels!
Toby is a great addition. It's like having another person around to share things with. You light up a little more like when you take Mandi with you. And I am not comparing Mandi to a dog.
I noticed some small dents in the hood of your truck. I do believe that a paintless dent repair kit will pull them out. It worked on my motorcycle gas tank. The kits aren't very expensive.
I'll have to try that. I got a lot of small hail dents. I ran it through insurance. Unfortunately, when I took it to our local body shop, they said it would be over a year before they could look at it. I really like the look of the hoods off the 2017 to 2019 Silverados. I've watched a few videos on the hood swap, they bolt right up. I'm keeping my eyes open for a brown hood with the air induction.
I got some puppies ( 16 of them ). They wake up… out side, they eat… out side. All born and raised at home. The last one of my dogs never had one accident but he’s a mal. To know what breed it really is or mix, you can ask your better vet to do a DNA test ( yeah just like us !). Bless y’all !
That's a great idea. We did see that a company is running g a 50% sale on the DNA tests, so I have the kit coming. It will be nice to know if there's anything in his genetics that we should keep an eye out for.
Tobi is a handsome boy. Looks like Lab Pitbull mix. . Islands are nice. My 2015 1500 I have put over $9k into it in the past year. I still owe $15k and the prices for a new truck is out of my means. Glad you got Tobi and wasn't the Drag lol. God Bless my friend.
Thank you so much. Automobiles can be a real drain. I think I jinxed myself. I mentioned in a few videos back when I was having issues with my filters gelling up that the truck was almost paid off. I should have knocked on wood when I said that.
That dog is clearly a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. I agree with someone else here that Toby is pitbull/choc. lab. He is a very chill puppy which means he's maybe in a growth spurt. I wouldn't be surprised if his energy level jumps three fold suddenly. I guess we'll all get to see. 😀
Toby is the cutest😍meatball tater tot I've ever seen🐾❤️. Looks like he has a little pit mix. He's so precious. God bless you for giving him a forever home.
Great vid mate. Never seen somebody walk out to an island. That was great. And hello Toby! Hope you have many adventures together with him. Cheers from AUS.
The lake noises can be really disconcerting until you get use to them. I've woken in the middle of the night and heard them and had to get my bearings before I could fall back asleep.
Thank you for adopting Toby, rescue is my favourite breed ❤ ♥
Your voice is so soothing.You're such a gentleman and I love your puppy.That is one beautiful pup
❤
Thank you so much!
Has anybody told you you're the Bob Ross of outdoor RUclipsrs? Very relaxing to just chill and listen to.
This is so spot on.
And I'm not talking about the Happy Trees.
I'm talking about human goodness.
Yes, I agree.
Yes!!!! So right!
That's perfect 👍🏻
He's got that wildlife narrator voice like a PBS Saturday morning show very calming
Thats it I couldn't place it. a puffy cloud here, a good dog there. you nailed it.
Definitely a pit cute little guy
Camping without a dog seems un-American. Glad you succumbed to the need to share your adventures with that cute pup
That dog is adorable....
I think he is a pit bull / lab mix.
He's gonna love the water. Very calm demeanor.....
Agree, chocolate lab/pitt mix
Ok i thought the same thing, so we all must be right! Lol 🍻
Well guess that is what he is. Because I think pit/lab as well
Me too.
That has to be it, after scrolling through all the comments, it appears to be unanimous.
Best on the internet!❤
Cute pooch Kenny!
Always appreciate all the work you put into your videos, they’re always great!
Hope you never retire making them!

I'm happy you are also getting a new camping buddy.
Toby's so adorable!!
An old Ice fisherman saying....noisy ice is safe ice. Quiet ice is dangerous ice.
This is true. I was always told the sounds are the lake making more ice.
Not to burst your bubble, but Toby is definitely a pure-bred Lay-Z-Boy.
Awesome 100% just my style!
Love ❤ Toby!!!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.
Gotta love that Tobey….he’s the coolest lil guy!
What a sweet boy!!! Thank you for giving him a great home!❤
First of all, thank you for adopting a rescue dog. Second, I think you found a winner in Toby. Third, I love dogs,and I look forward to vicariously having a dog through your videos. Keep up the great work!
You are so kind
Awwwww, Hi welcome to the family Toby from Atlanta Ga ❤
Kenny, happy to see you have a camping partner even happier you rescued this beautiful little pooch you've given this little guy a happy future ... Kenny you're da best😊
The lake sounds like my empty stomach... Love the channel
That bread is also great for bread pudding ….with rum sauce.
Sounds great! I'll have to try this sometime.
I would be lost without my dog. I was lost when I had my last dog put to sleep after 15.5 years. I don’t trust anyone who does not like dogs. What a great looking pup!

100% meatball/tater tot. You know your dogs Kenny! Can't wait to watch that little dude grow up on your adventures!
... Maybe he's British ,, Grizzly Gaz has an awesome little camp mate ... a Slug and Muppet mix ....
Toby is a pibbs. We just said goodbye to our sweet pibby this year. She was the best. Never nipped at anyone or anything. Pit bulls get a bad rap. Enjoy Toby.
I'm sorry to hear about Pibbs. Saying good buy to our pets is do hard. I'm glad Toby brought back some good memories for you.b
I agree, looks like a pibble. We had a sweetheart who loved to lie on her back, paws in the air, smiling.
Shelter dogs love to be loved And you would too if you were stuck in a place like that. He's lucky that he will have a special life.
Toby the piglet.. nice little fella
I love how Toby looks at you with love in his eyes. He knows he was saved and has found a loving home! ❤️🙏🐾
I watched a video today from Simple Living Alaska, which was a tribute to one of their dogs they just put down. Now I am watching your video with your new best friend. It really is amazing how the circle of life works.
Me too, love Simply Living Alaska. So sad for their loss.
Me too! Poor Bo😞
It was a very sad video. You could see as the years went by the grey coming out in his face. Poor pupper.
Losing a dog is always like losing a soul mate. Like a part of you dies as well.
Oh no…Bo😢. I haven’t watched it yet.
Love coloring of pup’s eyes. Dogs are a great comfort, companion-and will let you know when Sasquatch is in the vicinity…
Toby is the cutest! 100% meatball is my guess ❤
“Making’ ice” is how I’ve heard it explained. Toby is a great looking pup with a super disposition…probably still nervous. He got lucky finding a nice owner. Congratulations Kenny!
That's what I've always been told too. And it makes sense because it was about 16 degrees that night. Thsnks for the comment.
Hi Kenny! Binge watching your videos as we are currently winter camping in Merritt British Columbia. We have a dodge 3500 and adventurer camper and spend more time living in this unit than we do in our home :)

Yes..me too❤
What a handsome boy Toby is!! I'm so glad you found a camping buddy. ❤
Awe so sweet and wonderful what a champ he will be and give you so much comfort and joy in your journeys. Just be prepared he will Rolland rub in the stinkiest stuff and be proud.
A New Pupper's, Ohh Boyyyy!!!!
It's about time that you took my advice, everyone needs a furry friend to travel with...🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶
Doggies rule, especially Pitties !
Nice to meet you Toby , you have a great man in your new life!
What a sweet sweet puppy! Pretty sure he is an American Stafforsdshire Terrier (Staffie) which is also in the pit bull family. At the very least a pit/chocolate lab mix. Thank you for saving him....rescue stories make me cry. Our Staffie was the best rescue we ever had; a loving, loyal dog who wants nothing more than to make you the center of his universe.

You are so kind
Toby is adorable. He looks like a mixture of pure love and more love my friend! ❤️ You both are blessed to have found each other.
You are so kind
Love the new camping partner.
Be careful on that ice. We had a snowmobile go through the ice with 2 teens on it, here in the U.P. and unfortunately one did not survive. It's been a bad year for ice and snowmobiling.
Thats so sad! I feel sorry for the family. You are right, this year has not been good for the ice.
He’s such a cute little puppy
Toby is so CUTE
Now that is a camp site!!!
Toby looks like a Pitbull/Lab mix. He seems shy and pensive, but as he gets more used to traveling and the camper he’ll become bolder. Cute dog. Nice to have company and he’ll alert to noises, by hopefully barking if he’s suspicious. Glad you found a travel buddy. Just started watching your videos, which are scenic, relaxing, and travel is always an adventure. Thanks for showing your camper travels!
That green bottle looks like a Perrier sparkling mineral water a France Brand
Kenny, you and Toby are the perfect camping partners. I love him❤😊
Love to hear you talk. Great videos
Awesome video ,gorgeous dog looks like a mix between a pitbull and a brown lab
Toby such cute baby he Loves being with you one can see how Well adapted he is ❤❤ what a Blessing❤
Your puppy is precious 😊❤
That looks like a Craigmont soda bottle, which was sold by Safeway many decades ago.
Very cool! Thanks for the info. I'm going to look that up.
For some reason, utube decided not to give me a heads up on your videos. Glad I looked you up
I'm glad you found the video!
Firmly placed in the very short list of content creators whose videos I "like" even before I start watching. Always a pleasure.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
Toby as a puppy! OMG, be still my heart ❤❤❤
Congrats on finding your Mini Me! Two chill dudes!! I'm thinking he's chocolate lab, those eyes are a giveaway, and boxer or pit mix. Trucks know when they are paid off or about to be!
Love Toby and love the island for camping you found!
Toby congrats adorable redness pit
What a cutie he is so darn adorable.😊❤he will steal anyone heart.
I so enjoy your channel. It is very calming. You are very kind and we need more gentlemen like you. Watching the video with Adele your daughter who is beautiful. So happy I came across your channel. 😊
this is my favorite episode, Toby made it special
100% good boy!
I have a winter jacket that is a match for Toby's jacket. Dark blue on top and light blue on the bottom. It is too small for you or I'd send it so you could match
That's would be funny.
I'm team Toby all the way!
Toby's adorable. Nice spot this adventure.y'll b safe in u travels.
Your little piece of heaven is better with your new best friend! Love my MN.
He is adorable. I hope he brings you great joy. He looks already at home. Thank you for adopting him and giving him a second chance. It breaks my heart that there are so many abandoned and forgotten animals.
You are so kind
Your puppy is absolutely adorable!!!
Toby is adorable
Boxer/Pitt … whatever he is he’s adorable
You could put those fairy lights in it and have it sit on your counter for a little lighting
I can hear the lake noises.How cool.
Congratulations on Toby🐾 God Bless u both for adopting him

Having a dog❤ are the best thing in life❤
I love the drone video intro . It is great.
Love the puppy, he’s the sweetest.
My pit bull/dachshund has the same face.
She loves camping - my minivan camper is her happy place.
It's funny because that was Mandi guess! I'm thinking Lab / Pit. The shelter guesses Terrior/pit.
Yep im thinking pitbull. Hes absolutely beautiful. Looks like mine did about that age. Best dogs ever. He will be an amazing friend and family member.
Aww what a handsome little buddy. He looks like he has some Pittie in him, sweetest dogs ever. He's a lucky boy. 🤍🐶

I'm from Mississippi I've never even walked on a frozen lake....much less drive a vehicle on it!!!
I noticed some small dents in the hood of your truck. I do believe that a paintless dent repair kit will pull them out.
It worked on my motorcycle gas tank. The kits aren't very expensive.
I'll have to try that. I got a lot of small hail dents. I ran it through insurance.

Thanks Kenny. Always look forward to your videos. Congrats on the new pup.
Welcome Toby you are gonna have so many fun camp adventures!
Tobi is a handsome boy. Looks like Lab Pitbull mix. . Islands are nice. My 2015 1500 I have put over $9k into it in the past year. I still owe $15k and the prices for a new truck is out of my means. Glad you got Tobi and wasn't the Drag lol. God Bless my friend.
Thank you so much. Automobiles can be a real drain. I think I jinxed myself. I mentioned in a few videos back when I was having issues with my filters gelling up that the truck was almost paid off. I should have knocked on wood when I said that.
Toby just melts my heart ❤
That dog is clearly a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. I agree with someone else here that Toby is pitbull/choc. lab. He is a very chill puppy which means he's maybe in a growth spurt. I wouldn't be surprised if his energy level jumps three fold suddenly. I guess we'll all get to see. 😀
Toby is the cutest😍meatball tater tot I've ever seen🐾❤️. Looks like he has a little pit mix. He's so precious. God bless you for giving him a forever home.
Great vid mate. Never seen somebody walk out to an island. That was great. And hello Toby! Hope you have many adventures together with him. Cheers from AUS.
Another amazing video Kenny, congratulations on Toby.
Tobey is a keeper! I can’t wait to watch him grow up. 🥰
The lake noises can be really disconcerting until you get use to them. I've woken in the middle of the night and heard them and had to get my bearings before I could fall back asleep.
Great looking dog. I’ve never seen a Pitt with a calm demeanor like Toby.
Thanks 👍
My approach with a puppy or any dog is praise them when they fallowed command. but I'm sure you know that.
Good looking Hound ❤ props for getting one from a shelter.
Way to go!! Toby rules! You guys even look alike. I hope you guys have a lot of good times together, for many years.
