    Kenny, the sunset was gorgeous and the northern lights were amazing!
    Yummy dip and naan…but you need to slather all that cheesy goodness onto a big french loaf, cut in half and baked in that snazzy oven!
    You had me laughing with the applause overlay! That drone can sure take a lickin’!
    I have been binging yoir videos from the beginning….wow oh wow! Loving them.
    I feel like I owe you gas money now..been on the road with you for a week!
    I have never been ice fishing and found it fascinating.
    Sometime you and Mandy need to make it to Utah.
    36 State Parks, 5 National parks 4 National forests and 4 recreation areas.
    With your rig, you would have maximum access to about 23 million acres of public land.
    Or so I am told..lol my butt is parked on a mountain that would take years to explore all the sites.
    Anyways…good food, good film, good friends..can’t ask for more than that!
    Thanks for bringing us along and see you next week!

      I forgot to ask:
      What is the move called when you set up shots to show you coming and going?
      I assume you are driving away from the camera, but then go back and retrieve it. Clean it up in the edit.
      But what is that called? When I fist started watching, I assumed it was another person with you.
      But obviously that is not right.
      Either way, it must take ALOT of time. My favorite is when you drive over your camera. That’s just cooool!

    • @KennyOfAllTrades
      @KennyOfAllTrades  Год назад +2

      Your idea with the French bread sounds AMAZING!!
      I appreciate you going back and watching the older videos. I know the first year or so are a little cringy....I have learned a lot about editing and recording over the last few years. When I started, I had zero experience. I bought a used gopro 9 off eBay and a 500 dollar laptop off Craigslist. I didn't own a computer prior to the channel.

    • @KennyOfAllTrades

      It's artichoke country around here. Castroville, Ca is just down the road. My mom used to make these deep fried artichoke hearts. She would get bags of these small artichokes, cut out the hearts. Drench them in a batter of butter, garlic, parmesan cheese, then fry them.... A once a year treat... unless you want cardiac arrest.

    I say keep the generator, makes for an easy recharge, or to run the micro, or AC in the summer. I run mine the same way on a front mount, 2000 Ford F250 Super Duty, and a heavy 2001 S&S 8.5 camper, old stuff, but the camper was top of the line when new and has ALL the comforts. May need to upgrade t an AF one of these days!

    • @KennyOfAllTrades
      @KennyOfAllTrades  Год назад +1

      I think you are right about the generator.
      I do love this camper. It is 20 years old but still looks modern. The Arctic Fox Lineup has not changed much over the years. It is a 2004 M860. It looks just like the newer 811 models.

    Time to John-innovate !!! Bring my John-firecan kit (rocket stove) onto the lake. Bring lengthy copper tubing. Closed loop tubing. Place over the rocket stove and superheat the air which circulates to dropped copper tubing into the vertical water column creating warmed water that the fish will swim to and get warm (and get hungry). Then drop down some warm lure bait - and catch a gob of fish in that area !!!

      @@KennyOfAllTrades As soon as you asked that in the video I had a flashback to when my oldest daughter was in college and had her first apartment. She and her roomie were following a recipe that called for three cloves. Yup, same as you they didn't know the difference and they put in three whole heads. Sadly the dinner turned out inedible and ended up in the garbage. Lesson learned and now years later it's a fun story that even she laughs at.

That's why I had so many videos finding dispersed camping in the Chippewa compared to years past when I was in the Superior National Forest. I love your area. I even thought about moving that way years back. There was a position open in Silver Bay that I was interested in. But my girls were too young at the time for me to move that far away from their mom. Maybe one day Mandi and I will find a home on the North Shore. If you ever see me up that way, make sure to say hi.

My issue is that 20-minute activity like gathering wood equals 2 to 3 hours of recording and editing time. I have to choose what activities I want to do for the videos. If I ever make videos full-time, I would be able to show more stuff like gathering firewood. That is my goal one day.

    Ok so you opened a can of worms with this video 😂 where’s the prime rib? Interesting supper choice,I’ve never had either of those.Anyway thanks again for another cool video

    • @KennyOfAllTrades
      @KennyOfAllTrades  Год назад +2

      So I'm thinking about what I'm going to make this weekend... I might have to do a prime rib. I'll have to see if Walmart has any in the cooler. I was thinking about homemade pizzia or fish tacos. If I actually put time on the lake...4 or 5 hours, I'd catch fish. I know I usually don't catch fish on the channel... but that's because I spend more time moving the camera and capturing the right angle than having a rod in my hand.

    Hi Kenny, you were talking about the scratches and beauty marks that your truck and camper have collected over time............between having a garage queen or having the enjoyment of the places it has given you........I could live with a few scratches, your rig is still a real beauty, I'd sure be proud to own it.
    I know you have thoughts about taking the inverter gen off the front but I think for myself anyway I would feel much better about having a redundant power source. When needed, it would power your AC through the hottest summer days and keep your batteries charged up to run the furnace on your approaching sub zero weather.

    • @KennyOfAllTrades
      @KennyOfAllTrades  Год назад +2

      That is very true. I have about 3500 watt hours of inverter power in the camper. It just barely gets me by with electrical necessity. I'm thinking about taking out the finicky Onan Genetator. That would give me storage for a smaller generator. I think a 2500-watt unit would would fit in there. But I will have a hard time justifying buying a different generator when the Predator works great.

    • @richardkoch8752
      @richardkoch8752 Год назад +1

      That Predator has been good to you Kenny. I have a Champion 2500 dual fuel inverter/gen that I got on Amazon for a heck of a good price a couple of years ago. I think with a "soft start" on your A.C. it would work good but that would be all. If not running the AC it would take care of the rest of the camper's needs. On gas it's super efficient and really pretty quiet. @@KennyOfAllTrades

    Ken you can go back to the same campsite and never go anywhere else,it doesn’t matter,if it feels right,that’s good enough.

    • @KennyOfAllTrades
      @KennyOfAllTrades  Год назад +2

      That is true. I need to remind myself of that. There have been many Fridays where I'd drive over 8 hours trying to find the perfect remote spot after working all day. Only to end up pulling into a rest stop at 3 am because i couldn't find an open spot in the forest.
      Initially, the idea for the channel was to show people that they didn't have to quit their job and sell their house to live like their favorite RUclipsrs. A person could work all week, have a mortgage, kids, car payments, housework, all the regular responsibilities, and still have those RV and Vanlife experiences they see on RUclips. That's why I've always searched out new spots. I wanted to keep it real. So far, I've only stayed in the same campsite 2 or 3 times in the last 2.5 years. And that's only because last year we had record snowfalls that made camping limited. But I don't know how much longer I can keep this schedule. I only thought I'd be making videos for a few months.

      @@KennyOfAllTrades where I grew up there was a trout pond 10 minutes away or the worlds largest man made lake(used to be) called lake Newell,which our favorite spot was at the south end which we fished,camped & partied way to hard at when we were kids.We went back to these spots again & again & I’d still go to these spots today if I still lived there.The scenery,the fishing and just living without rules kept us going back.There’s no videos(thank goodness!)
      Just memories & these spots were close enough to home that it didn’t matter if the party lasted all night or just a few hours,we worked hard,played harder & could return over & over again to relive and make new memories.

    That's really awesome that you keep the letters you get, I got one in the mail Monday that you can have...............Notice of Federal Court Jury Duty in January............110 miles away. With my previous work and my kids L.E. jobs there's no way they will take me if I get to voir dire stage.
    Looks like the new year is starting out weird already LoL
    That supper looked fantastic! I'm all about anything with melted cheese, nothing more warming on a cold day. What kind of temp. does the gauge show on your oven usually? The oven has added a whole new world of cooking/baking possibilities.
    Thanks for bringing us along Kenny!

    • @KennyOfAllTrades

      Thanks Richard. Federal jury is a bugger! Mandi recently went threw it. 2 days a week for a year straight. And like you, the court house was 140 miles away from home! I said the same thing to her. There's no way they will pick you, not with my background. But they picked her. She ended up making new friends, and they still get together for lunch every now and then.
      I don't think they will pick you up. Not with your previous career. You will have to let me know.

    • @richardkoch8752

      About the only way I see getting picked is if it's a Civil Case instead of criminal. The funny thing is two years ago my wife got called for a State Criminal Case. When she got called up for voir dire and the question was asked pertaining to family in L.E. etc my wife replied Hi Laura..........Laura replied Hi Mom Koch....our Daughter In Law was 2nd chair for the State. LOL..........Judge got a good laugh and Caryl was home in time for lunch :) @@KennyOfAllTrades
