This week Toby and I are taking you into the Chippawa National Forest. We are north of Deer River in the middle of nowhere. I found this spot while scouting via Google Maps and OnX. This was actually the fourth campsite I checked on Friday. The other 3 campsites no longer existed. I almost got the truck stuck in heavy clay trying to reach a hand launch on a remote forest lake. It looked like no one had been back there for a long time. As soon as I started spinning in 2wd I got out of there. I could only imagine what that tow bill would look like. I decided not to record on the way out this week. The drive out can take an hour or two longer if I record it and I was trying to beat sundown. One of these days I'll have to document the struggles I go through to find these hidden little gems.
I can't believe I've been doing this for 3.5 years, and I'm still finding new spots to bring you to. Minnesota is the hidden gem of outdoor recreation. I hear so much about remote camping in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, and Montana, all the states with vast amounts of BLM lands, but Minnesota is a sleeper state when it comes to outdoor recreation. Maybe it's because our winters are brutally cold, and our summers are sweltering hot with mosquitos the size of sparrows, but I love how much public land we have.
This spot was insanely beautiful with a little bit of an ominous vibe. There was a fog rolling off the lake most of the weekend. We had rain Friday evening into Saturday morning. The air Saturday was super damp and cold. It felt nice to have the campfire going all day. Toby and I were pretty lazy. We stuck to the campsite because I could hear hunter shooting in the forest.
Friday night I ended up having a terrible nightmare. In the past I have struggled with night terrors and sleep paralysis. I think all the stresses of life have opened the door to having sleep paralysis show up again.
Around 3am I was half asleep, half awake. I thought I saw lights outside my camper. I could hear people walking around, and then someone started walking up the steps. I tried to yell, but nothing was happening, I couldn't move! My body was paralyzed. The lock on my camper door is broken and I thought for sure someone was coming in. I felt completely helpless. Eventually, after screaming as hard as I could and trying to move with all my might, I was able to snap out of it. I was finally able to sit up and realized it was a dream. I hate that feeling. Sometimes when this happens, I'm able to recognize what is going on. I will scream "WAKE ME UP" over and over in hopes that my kids or Mandi will hear me mumbling in my sleep. I know I have a lot of trauma that I have never dealt with. Anyone who has worked in LE and first response knows exactly what I'm talking about. The years of hypervigilance and bad calls has no doubt left scars. That is why I seek out solitude and let mother nature heal my soul on the weekends.
I'm glad I didn't pack up Saturday morning and go home. The thought definitely crossed my mind. Sunday morning, I felt better knowing I I didn't let anxiety and fear steal something from me that I love.
Oh well....I've been talking enough....I hope you enjoyed following along with Toby and me. We will see you again next week.
Kenny and Toby
I admire your willingness to clean-up someone elses disrespectful mess! Minnesota is a better place because of you!
Fall camping is the best camping! Cheers!
This is my first video of his I watched , when he started cleaning up some disrespectful persons garbage I subscribed . I see more and more garbage at places I fish and I can't believe some people are like that .
I'm sure I speak for all of us who watch you,we appreciate any videos you and Toby give us.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
A bad nights sleep in the woods is still better than a good nights sleep in the city. 👍💙
I have to say that between picking up the trash and putting Toby's chair up before yours, it just just shows what a huge heart you have!!
Tuesday with Kenny and Toby nothing better to watch!!!!
Yep
Agree
Hey Kenny my heart goes out to you with your night terrors and the sleep paralysis..glad you stayed and stuck it out brother proud of ya!!
Greetings from Laos. I've never experience night terrors or sleep paralysis. The only thing that terrorizes me are taxes and high inflation at the grocery stores here in Vientiane. I tell you the truth.
May God grant you peaceful rest my friend. many nice people commenting, love your values and respect for the outdoors. Thank you, sleep well, from one friend to another.
You are a rare breed Kenny, and that’s one of the things I really appreciate about your channel so very much! You make a point of cleaning up those campsites, for the sole purpose of it being the right thing to do. Not only to make it feel like home for yourself, and the four legged supervisor but, for the next guest as well. I hope at some point either your state or the municipalities take the time to send you a thank you through the channel for all the hard work you do as a weekend conservationist. I hope you and yours have a great week!
For a man who tells us he's not a cook you seem very confident in the kitchen
It's all luck! Sometimes I surprise myself.
It looked so good!!! 😂❤
He reminds me of an old friend of mine every time she made something to eat it tasted so good I'm just throwing something together however it always comes out really good
@@bodes-iso7851 he needs to make a cook book 📖 I want to buy it 😁
I agree 💯%. X
Hey Kenny, I am sorry to hear about the night terrors and paralysis. I can't imagine but I do want to give you a gentle reminder that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. Take care of yourself! I'll be praying for you!
One of my go-to channel hands down
Me too! ❤
His voice is calming and soothing to me.
@@emanoelpaulino1935 and mine
Me too!
Our son has suffered from night terrors and paralysis for years. It’s taken a lot of doctors and different medications and things to slow it down so that he is able to live more comfortably my sympathies go out to you.
Toby is such a sweetheart. I just want to hug him.😊
Kenny, I will be praying for peace and healing of the things that disturb you.
Kenny, another great video! I too suffer from night terrors. Not sure what triggers them but I’ve learned to file them away, mostly. You should give your cinematographer a raise, what great filmography!! You always find great camping spots! I follow several RUclipsrs, and your channel is the best on a Tuesday evening, or any evening for that matter. Give Toby a treat for me.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words. Thank you for the generous donation! I I really appreciate your support!
Hey Kenny & Toby…I was happy to see you in this new video. I pray GOD calms your Spirit, and those bad dreams disappear! 🙏 I’m 55 and disabled, I can just barely walk now. I’ve always loved nature and the wild. Your videos take me to places I couldn’t see otherwise. I appreciate you, but your personal life is important also! Thank you for the visual beauty and efforts! 🙌❣️
I'm so glad that these videos are helping you enjoy the outdoors. I'm also happy that you're enjoying the trip, and I appreciate your kind words.
I'd second that. The book of Psalms is excellent as well as the book of Romans.
@@KennyOfAllTradesFor sure I love camping and the outdoors my other half not so much.
So we don’t get out and do the things I would love to do.
Anyway your videos are precious to me for obvious reasons. Your demeanor and the scenery is epic. campfires 🔥 I love,love,love. Thank you! Kenny and Toby for unforgettable trips.
Night terrors are the worst. But God is truly the answer he is in control of everything. He created these beautiful scenes. ❤😊
Hi Kenny, Loved the video. Toby is getting so big. Thank you.
What well behaved dog Toby is… I’ve never seen a doggie who doesn’t beg for scraps. Great work.
Re: night terrors, our experience with our little guy, he had terrible night terrors as a baby which really bothered us as he knew nothing of the world yet. I started researching it and found that frequencies emitted by cellphones and WiFi are some of the causes of night terrors. We did an experiment and shut off and unplugged the WiFi, shutoff our cellphones and put them in faraday bags. That was the 1st night in months that our little guy slept through the night without waking up screaming with night terrors. We also noticed that we slept better. Now we have all of our WiFi equipment plugged into a power strip that we shutoff every night and phones go off and into faraday bags. A few times we forgot to shutoff the power strip and on those nights our little guy woke up screaming with night terrors.
We really enjoy your channel, especially our little guy who is now 7 yrs old, he loves to watch you and Toby. Thank you for cleaning up the trash others leave behind, you leave those wild places as they’re meant to be, unspoiled…and our little guy learns that picking up trash is a good thing…planting seeds. May Yahuah bless you and yours.
You are loved please find peace
Thanks for been you!!!
Out of body Ken. With your (dream). Been dealing for decades. Very special. Go with it. Thanks.
I am crying right now reading all the comments on this video you posted. I look so forward to Tuesday evenings just hoping your new video pops up. You are so calming to listen to. I have never owned a dog in my 53 years and Toby makes me want someone like him. You are very blessed to have him.
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate your comment.
Psalm 4:8 "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Lord make me dwell in safety.
Therapy time with Kenny & Toby!
My dog barks at Toby on the TV. It’s so funny.
So does my dog ! As soon as she hears Kenny's voice on the TV, she comes running into the room, she knows the Tobe is gonna be on !
You are so appreciated Kenny and Toby.
As someone who also suffers night terrors and sleep paralysis, my heart goes out to you.
Thank you for the joy that you bring into so many lives through your videos. ❤
The only thing that has ever broke sleep paralysis for me was the name of Jesus ❤
His mercy endures forever.
Amen 🙏
@@DallasLemieux amen 🙏 ❤
Amen
🙏
Some physicians heal by prescribing medication. Dr. Kenny heals with his videos. God has given you amazing gifts Dr. Kenny. Grateful 🙏♥️🇺🇸💯👍
Great words.
For such a calm and positive person sure doesn't make any sense for the night situation. Toby and all of your followers are watching over you! My wife and i hope to meet you some day but if not we already feel like your a family member. Thanks Kenny your an absolute treasure treasure
I’ve been watching your videos for several months now and have really enjoyed them. You’re doing kind of what my wife and I planned on after retirement. But life happened and we were not able to. What is strange, is your description of your “night terrors”. I’ve been having them for years. I’m 77 now still having them. That, not being able to wake up but struggling to, is frightening. You’re the only person that I’ve heard that has similar issues. Mine is usually caused by stress, I think. The feeling afterwards is terrible, almost ashamed maybe a guilty feeling. Anyway, hang in there. I wish the best for you. We’ll pray for you. Please keep the videos coming, they’re great!!
Kenny, you are absolutely the boss, congratulations on facing your “concerns “. That’s awesome!
Thanks for your time preparing these videos, they are appreciated.
It's wonderful all the cleaning up you do for the lazy folks before you. Me and my daughter have a creed, leave the campsite better than you found it. We always cleanup when we get there and before we leave. We do one additional thing. We always leave a few quarters (must be quarters) when we go. We "hide" them in easy places for the next campers. We envision kids finding them on a treasure hunt. Makes for a little fun surprise for everyone in their group. It's become a tradition for us. Love your videos and Toby is a cool😎dog!
Hi kenny❤, and Toby❤, I hope you❤ and the family❤ are well. Thank you for all you do and the extent you go to to make these videos for us in your busy life. I hope you start sleeping❤ well soon. Dan❤
We all missed you Kenny! You make my Tuesday better😊
Very relaxing video and music. Wish everyone took pride of our land and kept in clean. You and Toby are a asset for Minnesota. Thank you
Missed you last weekend, helping your mom is very important, the woods will be there waiting. I am sorry to hear about your night terrors. I'm glad you were able to stick it out for the weekend. I always look forward to seeing you and Toby on Tuesdays.
Toby looks so dapper with his outerwear on.😊
Hi Kenny, I’ve had night terrors before and they can be brutal. My brothers wife has had them all her life. I do love the way you clean up the areas you visit. It’s unselfish, it’s noble and you truly inspire everyone to emulate what you do, my hat goes off to you sir. Keep up the great work my friend. Oh and get your bloody Patreon up and running, this will help pay for you travel needs and allow a little more freedom for you. Best channel we enjoy on RUclips by far.
Pray at night, and ask God for protection. Ask archangel Michael to stand with you and battle those night terrors. Always thank God for waking you and helping you get to sleep, and rebuke all darkness and evil from your body mind and soul. Prayer has helped me overcome night terrors .trust me. It works..so never fear cause it doesn't come from god always know he is always with you. God bless❤
Really enjoyed the fall colors on the trees...looks like a lot of trees are bare already for the upcoming winter months. It's a shame that you had to clean up someone else's mess once again...people need to respect the beautiful planet God gave us. The ornaments will keep us all guessing to why they were left
Toby sure seems to enjoy these weekends with you....glad he's not camera shy 😅. The lake pictures were my favorite specially the one with the fog . Love your videos Kenny always worth the wait. Until next time ❤
Blessings Kenny and Toby!!! So thankful to see your post! I have a disease called Myasthenia Gravis it is a disease of your muscles I went into a crisis intubated in ICU for 12 days. I kept praying I would live to watch more of your adventures. I am now home watching your post. I understand night terrors and paralysis. I have had them since I was about 5. Try to keep your anexity under control. I
Beautiful video as always. Night terrors & nightmares. Crazy huh my husband is a retired police officer. After he retired the crazy dreams started. Our minds are something else. Analyzing in our sleep & dreams. My dad worked for Sears. After his retirement crazy dreams started. My mom had to wake him up & tell him it’s a bad dream. My dreams feel like they are real. When I wake up I’m so happy that it was just a dream. Some I remember some I don’t. Thank goodness. I love the stuff in the tree. Neat sentimental stuff. Everyone loves nature 👍 take care 💙🫶🌲🔥Toby is so adorable. Great dog. 🐕 he has my favorite hobby naps😴🥱😄😄💩
I know night terrors are the worst. My youngest daughter had them. She would wake up screaming and crying in the middle of the night. And those dreams we have can be something. I enjoyed your video today. I didn't get my usual notification but I checked your channel and here it was. The ambience of the fire and the lake was so nice. And ty as always for looking after nature.
I appreciate so much you sharing with us your weekend camping adventures. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching you and Toby being out in the wild.
Thanks so much for taking us along on this perfect Autumn afternoon in the woods, with delicious soup to boot.
Life comes before videos (in reference to your comment about helping your mom), I would THINK most people would understand that.
Fall foliage while past its peak was pretty. Toby is always handsome
Rain or shine, hot or cold… always a good time! Hi Kenny and Toby! ❤️
Kenny..
The way you threw the grate at the fire and it stuck was impressive...Boom😂
Great video Amigo
Thank you 🙌 🙏
Mandi said the same thing. I didn't even think about it, I just got lucky.
You are a man after my own heart. In life, I raised my kids to leave it better than you found it. That could be the woods, the kitchen, your room or your buddies house. Great video once again. Thanks for taking us along Kenny.
@@juckimal Thank you for teaching your children that quality. More parents should have, (mine did) Kenny and others wouldn't have such messes to clean up. I'm sure your children thank you for that. GOD bless
I always enjoy your trips.I do believe that you and Toby are Soulmates.Because he's is laid back as you are
We do really well together. Our personalities are so much alike.
Hey kenny! Night terrors definately produce an emotional Rollercoaster. You approach to dealing with it is bang on!. We love seein you out here bud. I'm very glad your back.
Best video graphics yet. Nature had a hand in that.
It’s always so good to see you pop up on my phone Kenny. You are now able to go home to a blessing of a week with no more night terrors, only pleasant rest.
God bless you Kenny, and Toby, you are a blessing to so many❤️
Kenny because you bring so many of us peace and joy watching you, god sees this and soon your life will become even better, just continue to pray and give it to Jesus
Another great Tuesday spent with my buds!
Glad you stayed and showed it who's boss. Short trips, say, within 200 miles of homes never bother me but when I go on longer roads trips the first day I always get anxious and think about turning around and going home. Even if I'm like 12 hours down the road! I know this is a problem and so when the feeling gets too much I stop, find something good to eat, grab the nearest decent hotel and hit the sack. The next morning all the anxiety is gone and the rest of the trip is wonderful with no more anxiety. Can't explain why I get that way or why the solution works but it does. You just have to do what works for you.
Great video. Thanks for sharing and reminding us that we’re all human and sometimes, stuff scares us even when it shouldn’t.
Kenny I don't know if you believe in God but I too used to suffer frightening night terrors, and sleep paralysis. Ive also had NDEs. I had to get closer to God, so I forgave all my enemies that have hurt me and my kids. And asked God to forgive me if I hurt anyone. Anyhow once I did that I prayed every single night for God to put me to rest, I thanked him, then in the morning I thanked him again..for waking me up to be on this earth..I'm positive it will work for you. Wow! I just heard you quote that verse, and I think it was a sign from god..don't ignore it. ❤😊..God bless you and may you have calm, restful, and blessed dreams from this point forward. The enemy comes in the night..but we have the Armour of God don't forget
💚
very good advice, I agree totally.
Kenny, thank you for always cleaning up your campsites. You always leave it better than you found it. I do exactly the same thing. I also pick up trash every time I walk which is most days. I live in Oregon & watch your Minnesota adventures each week. You do a wonderful job with your videos. Love that Toby!
Hey Kenny, so sorry to hear about your night-terrors, brother. Thank you for being honest and transparent with your viewers about what you are going through. It definitely helps to make us relate to you. What a beautiful spot! So happy you got to recharge your mental batteries. Fall sure is beautiful up there. God bless and hope you get out again this weekend with everything going on. If not, don't stress -- your viewers are here for the long-haul.
I’ve been there with the paralysis. Not fun. You are not alone. Your videos are a great prescription. When you clean up, your healing the forest and our minds. Not a tree hugger. Just saying. That may be a place somebody dumped some ashes. Just live brother. We love you.
I really appreciate your kind words!
Kenny, your videos bring peace and happiness to this retired old salt , the absolute beautiful forest you share every week brightens my world. Thank you for sharing with us our here in RUclips land give Toby a scratch behind his ear and please be safe. And be blessed.
Yes sir. The night terrors. Same thing here sometimes. It's horrible being stuck in that middle ground between unconscious, vs awake. Paralyzed. I feel sorry for my dog, because when I finally come to, she is right there with me, trying to comfort me. For some of us old fellas, the ptsd is real. Be well my friend.
I'm glad you're back and thank you for picking up all the garbage that others leave. Your one in a million, my friend. Love your travel adventures too.
Thank you Kenny and Toby! I’m fighting depression and your channel and videos are relaxing and uplifting! Blessings from Ohio, Kelly
Thank you Kelly, I am glad you are enjoying the videos.
Kenny, you captured the fall colors so well on this video. You and Toby are what Tuesdays are all about. I am so glad to have found your channel. I just love-love your videos. The scenery, the cooking, the walks, the stories, your calming voice and your handsome dog. Love it all ❤
Hey Kenny, thanks for taking the time to put out a video.
I’m a New Englander living in the South, and the one thing I really, really miss is fall. The amazing colors, the scent of damp leaves, the coming chill in the air, and how good hot soup is after a long damp walk. Thank you so much for giving me a taste of my youth😊
You are 100% spot on about the fall smell. Thank you for the comment.
Love for you two. Awesome job Kenny and Toby!
This has to be the most relaxing channel on RUclips, awesome job!
Kenny I've said it before and I'll say it again you are one very special person. How you think,talk and what is most important to you is an incredible gift. Your videos are such an inspiration that could benefit all Americans. Thank you. John
Yeah Kenny is back and Toby… I missed your post last week, Thank you.
Tim
Thanks as usual, Kenny! Today is my Sunday. Heading back to the Prison tomorrow afternoon to babysit convicted felons.
Your videos are a little island of peace in the chaos of life.
Thanks for taking me along to that beautiful spot! It was spectacular! And that was a Bob Ross background. Have a great week!
Kenny those fall colors really pop on this video. Great job capturing it on camera. Also I have similar nightmares where I need to run but can only walk in slow motion. I usually wake myself up before anything bad happens. I feel ya my friend. Anyhoo. Great video and I’ll have to try the soup recipe. ✌️
I would rather sit around a campfire with Toby than with most of the people i no. What a good boy he is.I love seeing him living his best life with you Kenny.
Ken,
Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your videos. You’re living a great life. I’m 59, blue collar. Working 10 hour days plus Saturdays to try to keep my head above water. You’re living a life I wish I could. Thanks for sharing. Hoping I can retire to rural Maine at some point and finally enjoy life. Keep those videos coming. They give me hope.
Thank you, Kenny and Toby, for a great, relaxing weekend. The fall colors are amazing, the water looked calming. I’m sorry about the night terrors and paralysis. Can’t imagine what that feels like. Nature heals, though, so I’m happy you stayed. 🩷
Thank you for your videos. I've been watching as many as I can to catch up. I love the ones with Toby. Life can be very stressful and your videos are a way for me to just chill and relax for a bit. Thanks again. You and Toby stay safe.
You and Toby recharge our batteries ❤
They sure do!❤
What a beautiful sunrise you captured. God paints a beautiful picture. You have such a good ,caring soul Kenny the way you clean up where your camping , you care so much for nature. Toby is so handsome, his hair is so shiney & smoothe. So glad you found him, he is certainly your best friend. I thank you so much for the beauty you capture & bring to your viewers . Its much appreciated . Have a blessed week & a big hello to Mandi & Tilli❤
Thank you so much. I'll be sure to pass along the message to Mandi.
May the mighty and precious blood of Our Lord Yeshua be upon you and your family, including your fur babies. Toby is absolutely gorgeous by the way, as is your other dog, the Rottie. Bless you always. 😌🌹🙏🏽
I appreciate your kind words, it means a lot.
Hi Kenny my heart is broken about your night terrors I had them year’s ago waking up screaming. I will pray for you they will go away soon.
Love your show 🙏✝️
Kenney you have saved my life your calm personality and your dog Tobey calms me right down you music senses tear to my eyes b I love Kenny of all trades😅😊😢❤
I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much.
Beautiful fall colors this year everywhere this year! Kenny, I hope you know how much this community cares and admire you for all you do. You are the real McCoy , so sincere. I hope you are able to find relief from night terrors and sleep paralysis . Take care of yourself and Toby.
Man I liked this one Kenny. I prefer the slower paced, hang around camp, cook in the camper ones like this. I'm an Iraq War Veteran with PTSD so I get it. Just breathe deep, enjoy your coffee and dog (I have 2 bloodhounds) and don't ever give in.
Thank you, Kenny and Toby. My bedtime ritual on Tuesday night is watching both of you, absolutely warms my heart. I'm sorry that you are experiencing night terrors, they are very upsetting and unsettling. Till next time, boys!!
I. Useta have that problem with dreams, but that was part of my sleep apnea, especially if you snore at night I would see a sleep specialist. I changed my life.
Glad to see you get a recharge. Sorry to see you experiencing night terrors. Wife said you looked like you had something heavy on your heart. Feel free to reach out to any of us here we are a big family on here. I think Toby was a great addition to your life.. God bless my friend... Jim
I really appreciate that!
All is good! Pray about anything to God, he listens.
Kenny it sounds strange but before you go to sleep pray. If you have a bible read some verses from the psalms. I hope to be able to camp one day like you do. Toby has thw life
Your camping videos draw me into your weekend adventures. You are a real guy who honestly shares the mental trip of going to beautiful remote areas in Minnesota, but yet sharing some of the lonely moments that make your trips fun but yet challenging. Your quiet and calm voice is comforting to listen to while describing your adventures. Ken, you are an interesting person! Thanks for the video!
I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching.

So Happy to See You & Toby 😊🙏❤
Thanks for sharing with us Kenny - you make us feel like we're hanging out there with you and it's much appreciated!
I used to have night terrors, a THC brownie or cookie helps me sleep soundly.
We so appreciate the time you take to share your camping weekends with us. Night terrors and sleep paralysis are terrible, I feel your pain. All that said, you need to be sure to take care of yourself. Its not worth stressing yourself out or spreading yourself too thin. Toby is a nice calming pup. Take care.
Thank you for the respect you give to the places you visit! If only everyone else did. Oh, and I love that Toby gets the luxury chair by the fire.
Hi Kenny my Husband Tom and I absolutely love watching you all the way from Michigan!! My Sister lives in Minnesota!!
We also adore Toby, and Tilly!! Next time you have a bad dream... Just say Jesus!!! The good Lord will wake you up! God Bless!! Have a blessed week! From Tom and Amy
Came for Toby!
Stayed for Toby!
He’s such a good boy. 🥰
