This weekend I'm bringing you into the Chippawa National Forest near Walker Minnesota. With the Independence Day weekend upon us I was not expecting to have such a beautiful lakeside retreat all to ourselves. I knew if I was going to find a spot I would have to go where others are not willing to travel. The trail into this campsite is a few miles long. Its full of potholes, hills, rutted tracks and super narrow passageways. I was at this campsite over a year ago. I almost got stuck when the truck slid off the crest of the road while maneuvering a sharp downhill curve. I was so excited when I reached the lake to find completely empty. There was a loon splashing in the water as I pulled in, I think it was greeting me. (You can see it in the video.)
Friday night felt magical. I was completely alone with sounds of frogs and a single loon to great me. The sunset looked like god created the perfect painting and I was part of the canvas. It was not long before Minnesota reminded me that nothing is easy. The deerflies and mosquitoes were thick! You can see a wood tick had found its place on my neck in the video as well. That was really fitting as the name of the main road entering the forest from the highway is called "Wood Tick Trail".
The remainder to the weekend went really well. Saturday around 11am a thunderstorm rolled through. The weather channel was calling for it, but not until 3pm. We had a few claps of lightning and a lot of thunder. It only rained for an hour or so. Later that afternoon I made the best tasting cheese steak sandwich I'd ever ate. I put up the game trail camera Saturday night but did not capture any wild animals coming to visit. I hope one day to see a big black bear strolling through, that would be so cool. I'd be happy to capture any wildlife on camera, well, anything other than a skunk.
Sunday, I had the opportunity to take out the kayak. I got into the middle of the lake when I noticed I was taking on water. I had two GoPro's and my drone with. I was concerned about losing my equipment, but I needed to capture enough video to tell my story. It was more challenging than it looked as I had to take the kayak out multiple times in order to capture video from inside the kayak and along the shoreline. My bottom half got completely soaked. I was thankful the crack in the boat did not open up more than it had. I could have easily sunk if the plastic seam opened any further. Shortly after that the storm rolled in. I made my way out of the forest just in time. On the drive home rain was coming down in sheets! It was almost impossible to see at times, cars were stopped under overpasses to wait out the storm. But we eventually got home safe and sound.
Thanks for hanging out with Toby and me this weekend, I hope you enjoyed it! Next weekend my daughter, Adelle, has her high school graduation party. I won't be recording a video Saturday or Sunday. But I'm still going to try to make a camping video.... you will have to tune in next week to see what I have planned!
I'll see you then,
Kenny

Looks like scammers are back in the comment section. They use the same photo as me and the name matches closely. Please remember I won't ask you to contact me outside of the comment section. I won't ever ask you to send me money, and I won't try to sell you on a money-making scheme. If you receive a reply to your comment from me and it doesn't seem right, it's a scammer. I have been blocking them as soon as I see them.
Just got the bogus request in the form of a comment reply to "... take this talk off of RUclips..." If these scammers, who are obviously intelligent enough to devise these plots, would use their smarts and just half the energy they put into these scams to do something productive.... this would be such a better world.
Frustrating! Grr. Kenny. They're like fleas.
I did send you an email pertaining to the subject of surgery. No replies expected. Thank you.
@KennyOfAllTrades thanks for the heads up I got of those this morning.
got one today Kenny. thanks for the heads up. Im not that astute with the computer or youtube and darn near connected. yikes
Yes, they tried to get me to reply but it just didn't sound like you. Thanks for the heads up.
The saddest part of every video is when I hear “we got this video in the bag” 👌👍✌️
@@roberttozser1975 Hope u can Visit Dubai it's also Great spots in Here for OFF-ROADING AND CAMPING 🏕️
The Bob Ross of camping.
I love that, it's SO accurate! Just so authentic & wholesome 🥰
Kenny, besides the obvious, I have always noticed and liked how clean and neat you are. I recently unsubscribed from two channels because of how dirty those creators lived. There is no excuse when there is plenty of water available in having dirty bodies, pets, floors, windows, etc. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Glad you found such a beautiful campsite, especially on the weekend of the 4th. Stay safe and God bless you always.
I agree Kate. I recently unsubscribed a homestead RUclipsr because his house and grounds were full of junk. And he has kids around all that dangerous trash! Kenny amazes me how he cleans up camp sites that other people trash!
I appreciate that!
@@ricklightfoot844 I noticed a homesteader with small kids left a couple axes laying around in his backyard unattended and they are still there weeks later. What could go wrong? 🤦♂
@@KennyOfAllTradeswe were camping last weekend. Took a walk in the woods after breakfast. I saw a soda can and said to my husband, "what would Kenny do?"...he picked it up.
We left it at our campsite on the picnic table until we left the next day to put in the dumpster (it was full of ants)
Truth. Being a dirty Kenny. " I just drank 30 beers and I am Woken Up" Not the Kenny.
We your devoted viewers thank you Kenny for taking us along with you to another beautiful location, fabulous food and a thrilling canoe ride, so glad you remembered the paddle!
👏👏👏
Thanks, as always! Hope you can get the kayak fixed!
And we thank you for weed-whacking and rebuilding the fire pit. I really appreciate people who maintain a clean campsite!
It was fun to watch your face light up when you seen the camp spot. Thanks for sharing
Love your videos, wait patiently for each posting. My husband has vascular dementia and I am devoted to his care which is 24/7. Sure look forward to your videos, it’s my escape. Feel like I am camping trip with you. Thank you for your posting them, thank you for being there. Be safe and take care. My best to little Toby.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's these kinds of comments that keep me motivated. I'm happy to have you tagging along with Toby and me. Take care.
Watching every video from the beginning.. Nothing better then to have a Toby on any channel. He's a baby 😊
He is such a good puppy. He is just over 7 months old now. He has really taken to spending time in the camper. I think his best quality is he is such a lover. He just wants to spend time with me and gobble up love and attention.
A little Canadian gift from hubby and I. We love your content!!!!!!
I’m SW Ontario……………cheers!!! 🍁 🇨🇦 Kenny the man
So are we!!! And I keep telling Kenny he has to cross the border soon. He has quite the fan club around here🇨🇦
I noticed a yellow CA$10.00 from a subscriber, does that money go to you??if so is it like Patreon?
I believe Patreon is better because RUclips takes a percent of super chats and certain ways that you pay on RUclips
Thank you so much. I appreciate your generosity. I picked up a trail camera a few weeks back with the super thanks. Now I'm now going to be picking up a new action camera. The stabilization of the go pro is really good, but the camera doesn't recognize you are panning from left to right. Instead, it sees it as a shake and tries to keep the footage stable. That leads to most panning shots looking choppy.....I hope that makes sense....So I'm gonna move to the DJI Pocket 3. I'm hoping the larger sensor provides better lowlight footage, and the picture will look better. I really appreciate the support for the channel.
I liked when you pulled into the campsite and said "were home". My sentiment exactly. Thanks Kenny and Toby.😊
Kenny, You're an Excellent video maker. Great editing, music over-lay and the cute shots of your dog !
Thank you for making me your leftovers! It was so delicious. I love the Toby cam❤ keep making awesome videos I love them !
It always makes me laugh when Kenny says I have enough leftovers for the week and I say I hope he shares with Mandi ! Haha.
Hope Miss Tilly is doing well Mandi ☺️👋
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your time and videos.
Thankyou for taking us along on your adventures As a native to FLORIDA I never knew Minnesota was so beautiful You’re so calming and make us feel like we’re beside you🥰
Thanks so much
You remind me of myself how you see beauty is all of Gods creation, and love the simple things in life, a Great Companion named Toby, a fresh cup of coffee, enjoyed by a Beautiful Lake. Now that is living the good life😊
Took the words right out of my mouth. I live ‘rough’ like all the time. Lost my house in an overnight electrical fire 😪 BUT, me and my dog put a camper in to do the gardens, lawn care and she was in heet and my sons two makes get a tad noisy and it being an apartment 🥴 it was just SO good to be back HOME. Wasn’t just the house that was home. It’s HERE…. I’m pretty much in the woods and LOVE it. Just so quiet ♥️ And can see the stars 🤗 No choice but to live in town after the fire, could NOT see the stars at all. LOVE this channel. ♥️♥️
It sounds like you have it figured out! Being content with yourself and enjoying the beauty in nature is the secret of life.
@@KennyOfAllTrades you know that we do have it figured out❤️
Another really beautiful video Kenny! You do such a great job with composition and editing. I am not lying--when that first rain shower started, I could smell rain. 😊 That’s how well you set the scene. Thank you so much for your dedication to making these wonderful videos! Toby is such a lucky guy !
Yay Kenny and toby
@TxOfficialKennyOfAllTrades I have watched all of your videos you get me through the week
So i had a few scary moments in this one. I freaked out when the kayak started taking on water cos i'm thinking to myself there's no one else in sight. Also, that storm scared me and i was praying you made it out without the so called "roads" being rutted out. Jeez, the freaking adventures you go through to help us on the other end get through our week. Thank you so much for the consistency and amazing quality production. It is DEFINITELY worth it for me to stay tuned and watch every Tuesday ☺
I really appreciate your comment.
Kenny loves to weed wack and clean up these camp sites. These videos are very calming they are almost ASMR for me.
Hey Kenny. May I suggest adding the year when you flash up the dates on the screen? People will be watching your vids for decades to come! 👍🏼
That's a good idea. I'll start doing that.
I would watch you and Toby camp out in your driveway 🤷 I don't care where you are, I love all your videos and that sweet Toby❤
I appreciate that.
Toby cam. Very interesting to see camping from Tobies point of view
Hi Kenny! I just Retired from my career in Construction 3 weeks ago at 58 years old. I found your Channel about the same time and have been a watching ever since. Great Content. Love how you stick close to home. I could see myself doing something similar here in Northern Wisconsin.
Awesome. I hope you enjoy retirement!
My wife and I found your RUclips channel last week and it's our new favorite. We live in St. Paul and love the North Shore, your videos are like a trip up there without having making the drive. You have a real knack for this. Thanks for taking the time to create this great content. We need more wholesome channels like yours. Give Toby a pat for us! P.S. I reported that fraudulent Facebook Page impersonating you to Meta. If enough of your viewers do this maybe they'll delete it.
I appreciate that! 👍
@@KennyOfAllTrades you’re welcome!
Truly a picturesque camp spot. Superb job taking the step off by the dining table. Definitely makes a difference. Love the red kettle and the wonderful overhead campfire shots. ❤
How ironic to have lightning and thunder drown out the weather forecast. So beautiful even with the weather and the deer flies. Outside is always the best place to be. Toby just gets more handsome with each video ❤ Always good to see two great guys out enjoying GOD'S creation. Safe travels and GOD bless
Amen brother
Oh my dearest, most handsome and loved to watch youtuber I love to watch you prepare a meal and cook. It's relaxing
Toby is doing so great and well behaved❤ he has certainly added to your videos. And I hope he gets something special as a treat for helping you on your adventures
Awesome as always Kenny. You and Toby are Awesome!
Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures.
KEEP ADVENTURING
STAY SAFE
GOD BLESS YOU
looking forward to seeing what the company says. Thse foldables always worried me ath the folds.
I contacted Tucktek on Tuesday. I sent an email saying the seam cracked under the seat. They responded in about 2 hours, saying a new kayak will be shipped out at no cost. The one I have is a refurbished unit. I got it 6 months ago. They have a 3 year warranty on the refurbished kayaks, but they don't have any in stock. So, they are replacing it with a band new one. You will be seeing that one in a video.
Origami canoe and decent paddle just Great Kenny ❤❤❤
You are such a great storyteller I can smell the Folger’s! Great job!
That's very kind of you. Thanks 😊
Kenny even if the roads get bad we know you can make it out. Was holding my breath while you paddle to the edge of the lake knew you would make it😊
Beautiful spot Kenny ☺️ wow!! Can’t believe the sweetly face thing was a year ago!!!!!! 😳 also, Thankyou for staying you Kenny and not changing things up too much ☺️🙏 you’re a gem and I appreciate what you do for the campgrounds, for the earth and for the RUclips community you have created ☺️🙏
Kenny !!! I am a truck camper guy. I leave for Winterhaven California in October till April. I come back to be with my kids. I enjoy your weekends as much as you do. You are a good guy . Keep up your good work Dan.😊
appreciate you always leaving things better than you found it. til next time...
'Toby cam!!' Cool. Excellent food as always!! Mouth watering!
Thanks again for taking me along! I about died laughing when you proclaimed your taking on water 😂 than I thought you were lucky a strong wind didn’t start blowing with the unstable weather patterns
This video is so great. When I was younger and more durable I could leave work and venture out Friday evening. 90% of the time I would end up someplace in the North Country. Then Sunday evening back home arriving in the wee hours of the morning while showing my job on time at 6am. Well as an old guy I can't toletate that any more. Thanks to your vids it's like I am back in the Northwoods again ... Even the feelings are back. Thank you Kenny for doing these vids.
Thank you for the comment!
I almost spit out my coffee when you said “I got a real paddle today” 🤣🤣. That spot looked awesome and that sammich as well. See you next Tuesday Kenny.
Purely beautiful 🌻
Kenny, your video is excellent. There is lots of beautiful scenery, TY . I'm glad you made it safely back on shore hope you get your canoe fixed. Your sandwich looked amazing you made! Thanks for sharing with us all and Toby such a good Baby he so happy running around and exploring with you!!! Congrats to your daughter on graduation!! Looking forward to the next video 😊
I had to pause the video twice to get something to eat......You're killin me Kenny !
went to that lake in the late 60s. when Clines bait was on the north end of Hackensack and the old goat herder lived just east of town. great video.
That was funny "I got real paddle ". I remember the last time. Glad you made it back out the lake 😮
Kennnnnnnyyyy, I wasn't hungry before watching your video and now all I want is the other half of your sandwich! Hahaha! Great campsite man! You're not lucky, you are BLESSED! Happy I get to experience so much of your state with you!
Thanks Will, I appreciate that. You are right. I am very blessed 🙌
Beautiful video. Yummy food. Now I’m hungry. Toby is such a good boy. Listens super well. Thank you for taking us along with you. You did and do a really nice job cleaning up your camp spot. See you next week. Take care
Another beautiful camping spot…..Toby is enjoying it as well 💫
Glad to see you this week. Beautiful spot. I know there are many places around me that never get used. Everyone is on their computers these days. See you next week, hopefully. God willing and the creek don't rise.
I just got to know you and now I can't stop watching your videos.
I appreciate that! 👍
If you have to camp at a Walmart parking lot it's best to park close to other RV's. Another option is the parking lot of a casino. Some do have RV parking areas with electric/water hookups and laundry facilities, which is nice! You must have great mud tires to be driving those water ponds, especially when it rains! That steak fajita cheesesteak looked yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Hi!!! Love watching your videos!!! Your voice is like listening to a story book:) keep making memories!! Do you ever journal your adventures ? You are such a humble soul!!
Thank you so much. I think journaling the adventures is a great idea. I could see how that would be therapeutic.
Hope you carry Benadryl with you in your first aid kit. Beautiful lake. Walker is located in such a beautiful area.
Another beautiful, private campsite! Thank you for showing the flowers and plants in the woods... just looks so peaceful! You are so fortunate to have the loons. But not the deer flies... those things are wicked! Toby curled up on his chair is the cutest thing...such a good boy! Thanks for taking us along on your weekend!
Toby is such a good baby ❤️
Amazing spot 😮
Cool a Kenny video! 👍👍😎and Toby
Watching this on Friday because of recovering from Beryl. Got power, kind of have internet & a Kenny video to watch. Doesn't even matter my yard looks like Paul Bunyon had a temper tantrum.😊
I hope you didn't have a bunch of costly damage and everyone kept safe!
@@KennyOfAllTrades Got very lucky, just lots of branches down.
Great vid
Awesome video as always sir. Thank you
Keep up the great work
Thanks
That sandwich looks awesome Kenny...
Thanks for the inspiration.
I spent the fourth boondocking just outside the North Rim Grand Canyon NTL park, 8500 ft above sea level.
The fly's and the mouths were insane.
They didn't bite much but still drove us crazy.
We had fun regardless.
I have recently switched to a slide in camper and I have to thank you for your channel.
Thank you Kenny, I have learned so much from you.
Cheers to you and Toby.
I hear you. Black flies drive me crazy. Thanks for watching.
The anticipation of a new video from Kenny and Toby and now it’s finally here ❤. Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us!
It was a tremendous outing beautiful spot mouth watering food lovely company toby is getting more gorgeous everytime I see him and breathed a sigh of relief when you got back to land without sinking thankyou so much for another incredible video
Heyyy Toby wus sup glad 2 see you again Hi Kenny how’s it been glad 2 see you as well !! Take Care 😇 5:36
Thanks again for your videos. It's been a rough past month plus. You always help me get away for a moment.
The deer flies get bad this time of year in NE Pennsylvania. I feel you're pain!
Love your videos and look forward to them every Tuesday
Thank you Kenny!!!
We ejoyed your video as we always do!! Toby is so calm and loyal by your side. Beautiful location! Thanks for the peace & relaxation you bring to us each week. ❤
What a great campsite! We have the same National Forests here in Wisconsin too and I imagine we have dispersed sites like that too, but I can't go down trails like you can with my Dodge Caravan. I nearly got stuck once already. Had I got stuck I'd probably still be there!
Wisconsin is an outdoor paradise. I have to get over there more often.
Thanks for another great video Kenny. Beautiful spot. I have a lot of respect for you,the way you mow around and fix up the fire pit. Not a lot of people would look after a spot like you do. Good job
That lightning bolt was pretty awesome!
It made me jump! The entire camper shook. You can see the ca.era moved a tiny bit... but the stabilization of the go pro is really good. It shook the camera a lot in order to see that little jump.
Beautiful landscape and video. And I love the music this time!
That firestarter company needs to sponsor you. I tell you what you've told a lot of people about those fire starters several times😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
they'll be back soon Kenny needs a "Like and subscribe" screen for his video each week
Hi Ken, great video, I'm 62 now and just myself and my dog buddy, your awesome video's have me considering selling my house and living out of a truck camper and thank you for directing me to Kevin's channel. Stay safe!
Thank you Kenny for sharing another great trip... Looking forward to next week!
Hi Kenny..I do Love you and Toby videos Awesome.miss your Videos.❤😊
Is kenny I look forward to your videos Thank you I keep broken on
Yessss Kenny of all trades, gutted about last weeks video , but your back now, and I love it. Say hey to toby , from me and us in 🏴💯🤙🏻
Yay! I love the Toby cam! Flex tape Kenny!👍🏼☮️
We would enjoy any video you spend the time to make. Even a Walmart parking lot or working around home. See you and Toby next week.
I would like a Kayak like that. You first!
Speaking of sound i have ear buds in and your vids sound so great!
Very cool
When you talking about very few people, maybe because things are so tight (money) they are just not going away.?? Great scenery just so peaceful. Thanks for this. Cheers to toby yourself , family & partner.
As for camping last week was a bust,, but today a homerun !!
Man O Man. I’ve been planning trips like this and upgrading my 25 ft Class C for the last few years. With work finally winding down I can hardly wait for my turn to hit the road and discover my inner soul and piece of mind.
Great video. The scenery is beautiful. Chef Kenny great looking Philly Cheesesteak. I can hear Toby now Dad I have an amazing life.
So happy to see you back.. got a little nervous there! 😂
My husband and I enjoy watching your videos together! Have a great day! Thanks for sharing!
ah ha! I had wondered about material fatigue when the boat gets folded and unfolded several times. I hope it works out!
The customer service has been great so far. I bought this one used from them. They do a multi point inspection on the used kayaks and give them a 3 year warranty. I sent them an email informing them of the issue. Two hours later, they sent an email saying a brand new kayak was being sent out.
Your fans missed you last week. Glad to see you back sir!
Nice video beautiful place
Oh no...the kayak. Sad. At least you had your paddles lol
I do have good news. I contacted Tucktec. They are a facility right here in the US, making the Kayaks in SC. Even though I bought the kayak used from them, it has a 3 year warranty. They are sending out a new 2024 model, no questions asked.
@@KennyOfAllTrades that's awesome
I just discovered your channel today. I love it! You are living my dream. After reading Travels with Charlie by John Steinback, I have wanted to travel just like you and Toby. Who knows, it may still happen. Until then, I'll keep watching you.
I appreciate that. I'm glad you found the channel.
What a beautiful camping spot! Sorry the kayak sprung a leak. At least you made it back to camp. Weather looked pretty good. We're in the middle of a heatwave with temps of 100+ which we're not used to this far north in eastern Washington State.
Thanks for watching! Be safe in that weather!
That was an especially relaxing trip to nature, as we are currently 'camping' at home after being in the bullseye of Hurricane Beryl. Minor damage, tree limbs and fences down, and my camper was slapped around , but nothing we haven't done before. It took 2 days just to remove debris from the door-side of the camper to get into it. So much for using it as a 'survival capsule'. Another learning lesson... and just now, the electricity is back!
Sounds like an exciting time! Glad you made it safe and sound.
Great camping spot it looked awesome best spot this year so far and did I see a Toby cam for a second??😅
