That one sticker doubled the operating power of the computer! I believe it also increased the fuel mileage of the truck!!! It was a beautiful hike. The GoPro does a decent job of capturing the moment, but one day I'll figure out how to use an actual camera.
@@KennyOfAllTrades 😂 love it bro! Not sure if you’re in the market for a new cellphone but if you are I highly recommend the iPhone 14 pro max so you can film with it also. That’s what I’m using now as of the past 3 videos and get quiet a bit of people asking me what camera I use as it’s really high quality. I film 4k 60fps and even in really low light it looks super good. Go pros are pretty good in bright conditions, but lower light they are not good. I still want to get the Sony A7IV when I have some extra cash as I have some lenses and really nice mic for it already.
I always wondered why you didn't drink beer. that goes a long way in my book, I appreciate it. I'd rather drink coffee or cocoa any day of the week. 73
Thanks! That's awesome! I watch a lot of RUclips. I ditched my satellite TV years ago and recently got rid of Netflix. I know it can be hard to watch, or get into a new channel sometimes. I appreciate you giving me a chance and I'm honored you took the time to watch multiple videos. I put a lot of effort into them. I'm glad to hear you enjoy the content.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Your effort shows. You tell a story every time and I feel like I joined you for the weekend. Even though I grew up in a Ford family lol.
I just love how you keep saying "we" it makes me feel like we are doing this together. I also love how encouraging you are on the walks. I wish I had that encouragement when I worked out! This is a great video to play while I get ready for work.
@Kenny Of All Trades yes! It does show. It is very inclusive. I had to chuckle when you said, "We spent the weekend together, and that was enough.". Lol. What is that old saying? "Fish and visitors smell after 3 days!"
You have gotten so good as a videographer. Seriously, you could do the commercials for the state of Minnesota tourism board!! Your footage was beyond beautiful!! It has been years since I have been to some of the places in this video. I forgot how awesome the scenery really is this time of year in Minnesota. Thank you for doing your videos, Kenny!!
That puts a huge smile on my face! I was out there with my Gopro trying my hardest to capture the moment. I'm so happy to here that it stirred up a memory. That makes all the time spent on this video worth it. I got to thank you so much for sharing that!
Going away alone on New Years eve is my idea of heaven. I hate New Year, always go to bed early just to get the night over with. You have the perfect idea
I really need to pick up a second pair. I have a set I use at work. Guess where I keep them. Lol yep right on the door pocket of the jeep. Great minds think alike!
I am so confused right now. On the one hand, I can not stand cold weather, like, at all. On the other hand, I can NOT get enough of videos such as this and while watching and intense desire to be out doing this same thing. Told my wife, next time we've got severe bad cold weather coming in, we need to fire up our popup camper and get a taste of this type of experience.
Heck yes, I say give it a shot! Thankfully this winter has been mild. Most of my hiking last winter was in -10 weather. I had one video where my eyelashes were freezing shut.
I keep saying YakTraks! They’re this old guys friend on snow and ice. Even Shaky Bill would like coffee in that cold. Those steps are definitely the business and worth the price. Pork steak in cream of mushroom soup? That’s a cold weather keeper. Be careful, Kenny. I’m looking forward to following you out there someday soon. Thanks for another great video and Happy New Year! 🎉
Thanks Bill! I think you and Mandi are tied on who's telling me to buy a pair of Yak Traks more. One of these days I'll pick up a pair. Remember last winter when I fell looking at Light Houses. That fall turned my leg black and blue from the butt down. One day I'll learn my lesson. Thanks for following along all this time!
Winter camping is my favorite and I love your videos. Be safe out there. Very happy that you did not spend much time on cooking not a big fan of watching people cook that’s typically when I turn off a video. Enjoy your time 👍
Lol.....well, I'm out in the camper right now making Ribs over the campfire. That will be on Tuesday video. Lol. It's ok, I totally get it. I try to keep the videos moving along quickly. I only have one night a week to record, so I stuff as much in as I can. RUclips isn't my day job, so whatever happens Saturday or Sunday night is what I upload on Tuesday. I appreciate you watching!
@@KennyOfAllTrades The pork steak and mushroom soup hotdish was one of my mom's go-to recipes also. You should try making it with Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup. It has more flavor. I like to layer thinly sliced new potatoes on the bottom of the pot and add the browned steaks or chops and sliced mushrooms. Then mix two cans of Golden Mushroom soup with two cans of water. The potatoes need the additional water to cook and are so tasty. This works in a cast iron pot in the oven or in the crockpot. I really enjoy your channel. I was born and raised on the Iron Range and my family tent camped and fished several weekends a year on the Crane-Sand Point- Namakan chain before it became Voyageur's National Park.
Hey Kenny, agree! That’s a nice looking rig. I had an 04’ Chevy 2500HD with a 2012 Lance 865. Really miss that rig. It was quick to pack up and go. I had a finicky Onan Gen…your smart to have a backup. I have a 2018 Ram3500 and switched to a 19’ travel trailer, as the grandkids are popping out like pez candy and love camping. I cringed watching you ice-surfing down those frozen stairs 😜, you have that move mastered! Another fine peaceful episode and I like seeing the old history tid bits about where you camping. Nice work. Thank you!
Love all your videos Kenny, but especially the winter ones. Amazing footage as always, but particularly the drone footage as you are driving through the forest. Thanks for bringing us on your travels!
Thanks Mark I'm glad you liked the drone footage. It's hard to pick out what part goes in the videos. I probably had 20 minutes of awesome drone video. Thanks for all your kind words! Have an awesome new year!
Thanks! I do love it. It's super comfy. Some people don't consider it camping. But when I work all week I don't want to be ruffing it in the woods Saturday and Sunday. If that was the case I would not have made a video every weekend for the last year. The camper truly feels like a second home. If you enjoy exploring I would definitely recommend a truck camper!
Wow, 30” of snow. I have seen that much snow since I lived in Philly, PA and it shutdown the city in 5ge winter of 1997. Philly got 37” of snow. I worked 5 shifts since the 2nd, 3rd shift couldn’t make it in for 2 days. Luckily a little cafe down the street couldn’t leave either and we made are way to it, for every meal. I worked for Comcast Cellular, now ATT in the switch in Wayne, PA. I can’t believe you all get around in 30” of snow. You must have amazing snow plow support!
Yes we do. The Stae takes care of the HWYs. The County takes care if County Roads. Each Township has their own trucks, and the City rigs handle everything in town. The number of personal plows is astronomical. You will see 100's of personal plow trucks. I have a plow truck ad well. 30 inches will close the schools for a day. But it don't take much more then a day to open everything up.
Just stumbled on your RUclips How very Beautiful waterfall and hike. We have lots of Snow here in the PNW as well, some areas I hike right now are in Avalanche warning so no Hiking for me. Thank you for sharing your Adventure. I am going to go check out your other videos. Love the truck and camper. Happy Hiking 💚 🌱 Happy New Year and Safe Travels.
Sweet! Thanks I appreciate that! I've had the channel going now for the last 20 months. I put out new videos every Tuesday. Most of my Adventures are here in Minnesota because I only have Saturday and Sunday to film. I have been told Minnesota looks like the PNW before. We lack the mountains though. Our Saw tooth mountain range only rises to 2301 feet. My Dad grew up in Oregon, I'd like to make it out there one day.
@@KennyOfAllTrades this is fabulous I love it out there as well, I havent been to Minnesota in a very long time, it totally is except the Mountains, we just have a little bit bigger of the Mountains here, just a little bit lol Oregon is so very Lovely. I'm in Washington, Absolutely Gorgeous, so is Alaska lots to do and a lot less people. Lots of things to do out here and lots of hikes and camping and different areas can be in the Mountains, then go to the Ocean, or in the Summer be in the Desert or head to the Rainforest. Lol it definitely keeps you in Shape. I will be checking your videos out and looking for you new adventures, and made sure to hit the bell too for notifications Wahoo can't wait to see your new adventure.
Very cool. I haven't decided where I'm going this weekend. I might stay at a truck stop then hit a State Park for a hike. I'll hopefully have it figured out soon . If you see the Arctic Fox makes sure to say hi.
🎉 Kenny great video love the snow man your videos are awesome thank You I love coming along with you as if I’m there with you and yes I love your truck and camper even though I’m a Ford man 😂 thanks again
Thanks Tim I appreciate the comment. I've said it in other comments; I'll have this truck for many years but the next truck will be the Ford with the 7.3 gasser.
There's still a Restaurant and campground close by called the Buffalo house. ( Near Duluth) It was built in the 60s and the original owner had Buffalo on the property. Very cool history. I bet your Dad could tell stories of how powerful those falls can be. If you Google it you will see there A LOT of people that have died falling off the rocks. It happens every few years.
I have a dollar bill in there with my name on it. I think their kids were Shelly and Scott. Unfortunately I lost my dad in 2011. I’m sure that’s why I treasure this video you have made for the world to see. Thanks again
That was a beautiful trail that you hiked. Fred and I were surprised at how many cars were at the park in this weather. I have not hiked in that kind of weather in years. I used to take my kids hiking in the snow and they loved it. So true that sometimes going off of the stairs and on the side could be so much worse. I am afraid I know from personal experience, You do have a beautiful truck and camper. We love spending the weekends with you. Have a great week. Mary 💕Fred
Thanks! By the way I saw your comment on Channel Makers! I follow Nate and his channel advice as well. He has tought me alot about navigating world of RUclips. It was cool to see you there too! I hope your channel does awesome in the new year! I'll see you next Tuesday.
I've been watching a lot of your old stuff and have determined that you have always had some skills in cinematography. It seems to be natural to you spot the most interesting view. I like to come from the future once in a while to critique your work. Easy job, that one. I can tell you, you're still producing great stuff, and you've brought on some extra help, he will become very popular with your fans and will lighten your workload.
Your comment made me laugh, Thank you so much. 😊 I appreciate you going back to check out the older videos! Some of those videos in the first year or two can be tough to watch. 😆
@@KennyOfAllTrades I mispoke on The Buffalo House. It’s inside a KOA in Duluth. Thank you for bringing my childhood memories with my Father back to me.
Hello. My wife and I are super glad to have found your channel. You see, we are planning to explore northern Wisconsin and Minnesota via truck camper this spring. So you are a fantastic source for off grid campsites. So question, we have a97 F250 HD. Xtra cab, long box, 4wd. We need a camper. Do you know of any for sale?. Something like your set up. Maybe we’ll see you out there. Best wishes. R andR
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I don't know of any for sale at this time. Hopefully you can find one thst works for you. My Arctic Fox is almost 20 years old and still going strong.
I think winter is the beautiful time of the year, especially the water falls ! You are right, Minnesota is fantastic, any time of the year. Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you'all !!
What a great first video of the new year!! Congrats on the big number jump over the little break! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for ‘23 and follow along on your amazing exploration adventures!! Thanks Kenny! Cheers! 🎉
@@KennyOfAllTrades planning to head to Michigan then Wisconsin this summer in July for a week. Going to hit Mackinac Island, the UP of Michigan to see a friend and west of Green Bay to see a friend. Traveling in the 14 F350 withe the 18 811 artic fox
Hi Kenny, new subscriber from Scotland. 🏴🙋♂️ A fellow van-life RUclipsr recommended your page to me. Great first episode this. Happy new year. Slàinte Mhath 🥃
@@KennyOfAllTrades If you don't mind watching someone work on his place non-stop, eat tons of food, and throw in some hunting and fishing, you'll like Joe. Lol.
There is a lot about Minnesota that reminds me of Kentucky. Both are beautiful States. It's always nice to be close to an electrical outlet for the heater. Thanks for the ride along. I too watched the new year come in by myself. Alone but not lonely, big difference. Safe travels!
Kenny, I gave you a "10" on your step slide slalom! I would have been on my back looking at the sky! The falls were awesome in their icy glory. You Minnesotans are a tough bunch! Kudo's!!! Love those camper steps! The wooded drone footage was really good! Great day Kenny, Cardiologist gave me the results of my heart cath last month....two very small blockages not worth re-plumbing :) He was pleased with the results and I don't have to see him for another year :) So now I am really in the boondocking mood.....thinking of a Winnebago Micro Minnie trav trailer....only 22ft long, 7 ft wide, 5,000Lb gross weight....perfect for my little Tundra to pull. Going to solar panel it out and have 600 AH of Lithium batteries....able to be disconnected for days at a time, especially with my Champion inverter/gen for back-up. Just might have to take a little trip North some time to visit some of your favorite spots:) Another great vid Kenny....thanks for bringing us along with you.
Richard that's awesome news! It's gotta be a great feeling to start planning the new adventure. If you head my way I'll hook you with some of my secret spots. All the best for this new year!
Awesome video nice winter wonderland and suggestions you to grab pair of ice cleats to your boots don’t want mess up your knees like it happened to my son and my wife yikes
You are right, i should keep an extra set in the truck. I had a good pair but brought them to work. I'll have to pick up another set. Thanks for watching!
It’s definitely weird to see you grab that power cord and hooking up to a pedestal. Great video as usual. Ps: drone flying skills look better, no crashes I hope.
WOW, my goodness Kenny, just look at all of that cold snow and ice, BRrrrrr! I don't know how you walked in that without falling down! 🤔 DON'T get me wrong, I am so happy that you didn't fall, you must have good luck on your side! 🤗😄🤗 The snowy scenery is absolutely gorgeous! So much snow, WOW, talk about walking in a Winter Wonderland, you really done it! Gee, I can see you living as a mountain man in the mountains and that is a sincere complement my friend, yes, sir, it certainly is! 🤗🤗🤗 Thank you for sharing your videos Kenny, they are so incredibly impressive and YOU are truly AWESOME! 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 What size t-shirt do you wear? When is your birthday? Take care Kenny, Your friend, Didi 👋 ❄🌲❄❄🌲❄
Thank you for the compliments! I'm a xl or 2xl depending on the time of year. 😄 I weigh 280 pounds, but I think I carry the weight well. I do need to drop 40 pounds.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Oh Kenny, I think that you look fine (if you don't mind me saying so). You're NOT heavy or fat or anything like that. You're always so very active so I don't think that you have anything to worry about. Yeah, you are correct when you said that you carry the weight appropriately. Good for you! Yeah, Spring is just around the corner, then watch the campsites fill up, every lake will be bustling with people having fun, swimming, picnicking and even fishing (that is if Mandi left any in the lake), just kidding, sorry, forgive me, I'm just having fun with you. 😆😅😄😂 But, geez those horrid Mosquitos, EEK!!! 😲😨 Take care Kenny, Your friend, Didi 👋 🚴🔥🏞🐟🚙
Winter camping is awesome rather your camping in a Camper or a Van build or a Suv build we are getting a class c rv here soon we've had a couple pop-ups a couple travel trailers a couple Conversion vans we have a gmc Yukon and Nissan Armada we have a mattress for the suvs for camping for now
That's awesome! I always find myself looking at class c's. Just to give you an idea of how exciting I am.....for date nights, Mandi and I will often walk through RV dealerships. I love looking at campers. The camper I usually end up wanting to go home with is a class c. I dream of exploring the US living full-time out of the camper. That would be awesome!
Kenny - your generator problem can be easily and uniquely silenced. Your generator exhaust pipe and muffler are too short. (1) Put proper and large rubber feet under the generator stopping any engine block combustion vibration into the camper. (2) Remove the current exhaust muffler and pipe system. (3) Check how the muffler pipe is installed to the engine block - (a) bolted flange and threaded port or (b) direct engine block threaded port. Either method, use the threaded flange or the threaded engine block. (4) Find the same sized diameter (best option) threaded aluminum pipe (~ same thickness as an iron water pipe). My dad silenced an open-ground generator with a threaded engine block and screwed in a conventional iron water pipe (!), buried a 5 gallon can into the ground, and put the elbow and down-pipe into the can. You only heard the engine bearings whine. Walk 15 feet away and no sound. For you there is an even easier amazing way. (5) Use the same silencing technology of the duck hunting 6 foot long shotgun ported barrel. Cut and thread sections of pipe from the engine block outward beyond the camper edge. Install an elbow. Cut a 6+ foot (whatever length is needed) to have a vertical pipe that goes above the camper top (even way above). (6) Angle-drill (or custom shop drill) in the silencer ports (12-14-20) at the end-length of the vertical pipe in the last 2 feet of the pipe. Drill bit shold be 1/8th - 1/4 inch diameter. This imitates the same noise and flash suppression systems on military weapons, artillery, and tanks. Drill these ports all at different depths around the pipe - like tapping a sugar maple tree for sugar syrup (shooting apportioned exhaust flows upwards and outward) - sending any noise upwards and diagonally outwards. Do NOT drill a port that is 90 degrees horizontally outward of the pipe. All the noise and the exhaust outflow will then be silenced by the pipe length, and directed above and away from where you (and others) can hear any exhaust airflow being ported. The ported muffler pipe height disperses any exhaust smells above human height. (7) Each time you use the generator (of course) you need to install the extender pipe into the generator engine block, elbow, and then the vertical muffler pipe. When done remove, and close the generator door. The ported muffler system can be stored under the camper in that gas can storage area you showed. (8) The ported muffler pipe will silence the combustion exhaust noise, the rubber feet stops engine block vibrations into the camper, and the camper generator compartment will silence the majority of bearings whine. (9) You can now remove the whole front end generator and bumper basket - lightening up the whole truck chassis and weight distribution ! (10) Enjoy in the park campground, out in the wilderness, in parking lot, alone, or with nearby campers - as you now have a silenced generator.
Another great video Kenny! You have to love driving on icy roads like in that state park. The weight of your rig must help but also push the front end some. That sate park waterfall trail sure looked slippery. On a side note I don't think I have seen any videos where you only make a meal for one. You sure must like your leftovers. I don't know what it is about camping but I love cooking meals in there. It just adds to the fun of the travel. Have a great week and I will see you next Tuesday.
Lol, That's a great observation! I do love leftovers. When I get home from work I hate cooking. I like to throw something in the microwave and call it good.
I love leftovers for work as well so always try to plan 1 extra serving when feeding the family. Think it's more so that I don't like making lunch before leaving for work than wanting leftovers though.
Kenny, loving your videos. I can see why you love Minnesota, beautiful in the winter! Love the hike. Keep up the good work, your editing is top. Notch!
Thanks Bery! That's really appreciated. I got about 18 to 20 hours into editing this video. Depends if you count exporting and uploading time. Every video is a labor of love and there's so much time invested. It's awesome to see RUclips putting the videos in front of people. I appreciate all the kind words!
@@KennyOfAllTrades honestly Kenny, I’d rather watch the few RUclips channels I subscribe to than pretty much anything else on TV. Keep up the good work! And as always, be kind and be honest.
Yes, that would be awesome, but its not in my immediate future. The last year I've rarly been able to spend more then 1 night a week in the camper. I'm just a weekend warrior with the RUclips channel. If I was out for a few days a week I definitely would. If the channel starts making money I would also think about it. I do see the advantage of solar. The technology is getting better all the time.
Hello and thank you for sharing this adventure with us. My wife and I enjoy your relaxed nature in these videos. Please keep them coming, and let us know when you'd like to explore northern WI.
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I put two winter videos at the end screen. The one on the left is one of my favorites. I went on a hike and my eye lashes froze shut, but it was a beautiful hike. Definitely check it out, it has that relaxed feel. I'll definitely be exploring Northern Wisconsin again this summer. I'll have to hit you up here if you have any tips.
Wow, what a winter wonderland, absolutely stunning, especially the falls! Those steps are just perfect, I wonder if they got a little slippery with the mist? Happy to see you didn't forget anything important like your coffee maker or coffee! I love coffee, too, but if I drank that much, I'd spend the day and night going to the bathroom, LOL! My fav is Cafe' Bustelo. Hope it's a wonderful year of camper travels for you with nothing but smiles and wonderful memories! See ya' next week!
Thanks Doodles! I was wondering the same with the steps. Thankfully Torklift put ridges on the steps that provided plenty of traction for this adventure.
Your a go getter and a brave soul to get out there and video for us. Love snow, but that slide down the steps u did scared me. Look at that, the water coming down the rocks in all this snow. Couldn't even see your picnic table.
I see you took the advice. That's right always back into your campsite. The first State Park you were in, I don't understand why it's not being maintained in the winter. At the least they should sand or salt the steps if they're not going to shovel them. So all those workers are getting paid to do nothing in the winter. You said " if you don't see a video on Tuesday call the paramedics " 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice video. 👍👍👍
Gooseberry Falls SP was one of my all time favorite campgrounds as a child. Unfortunately, it has become such a tourist spot that you can almost never get a campsite during the summer months.
I wish I could send it somewhere Tim. We got about 8 inches since I left for work this morning. Now instead of getting home and chilling for a bit I have to go plow snow...always something! Thanks for checking out the video.
I really should. The only reason I don't is because I'm a kid of the 80s. No one ever told us to wear helmets back then. So it's never become a habit. I really should get in the habit of wearing one.
Bro another awesome video can't get enough of that snow especially the snow storms.... add google tracker apps to your phone simple gps tracker just hit record before you leave your camper even without signal it will trace your path I've used it on some hikes in some of my videos 👊
Another fantabulous vid, made me chuckle at times lol. Oofta, a saying I use quite often! Beautiful scenery you took us too again Kenny. I think the MN Tourism Bureau should be offering you free camping year round! Did I see you plug straight into the pedestal without a surge protector?
I live on the edge Mike....slippery steps and no surge protection for me. What can I say, I'm a rebel.....actually I'm broke I can't afford thst stuff! Remember I didn't even have the camper secured properly for over a month! Lol
@@KennyOfAllTrades oh yeah true, I forgot 3 Fastguns Kenny 😂 Every time you plug in, get the shot in your video…maybe, just maybe one of the watchdog surge protectors folks will see and send you one to review! 🤞🏻 BTW, I did hear your knee crack too…perhaps a case of Biofreeze is in your future to review as well 😝 I personally like the roll-on version 😂 Forgot to tell you, was pissed at you yesterday for a little bit of time! Yep, last night kept hitting refresh for about two hours and no new video out from Kenny 😡 Then I realized, I was having a senior moment, after all I’m 55…yesterday was only Monday DUH 🙄 😆 😂
Thanks Dwayne. Before I first started the channel, I was thinking about what kind of message i would like to share. A few days later, a co-worker came into the office upset. He was dealing with a situation and said that people don't know how to act civil towards each other, and the world would be better if people lived by the Golden rule. (Treat others how you want to be treated) That is where the closing comes from. Being kind and honest makes life easier for ourselves and others around us.
No kidding! Mandi suggested I go to Jay Cooke. I left Walmart Saturday Morning and was seriously contemplating Jay Cooke because it was only 10 minutes away. That would have been cool.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I drove up past the Trastle Inn and all access points to any dispersed sites were snowed in. Beautiful drive though. Resorted back to Jay Cooke. A bit closer to the cities. I just can't stand paying $25/night for a site, so I only stayed one night. Those logging trucks were hauling arse on those snowy roads up there. A bit sketchy!
Yep, that exactly right! I just found out that if you attempt to book a reservation at a state park in advance there's another 7 dollar reservation fee. These prices are getting crazy! In last winters videos struck out by the Trestle inn......So i overnighted at boat landings. I never got questioned. You will probably see that again this winter.
Absolutely beautiful video. I totally enjoy watching your adventures, and especially winter trips into such beautiful forests. Happy New Year from your friends in northern Colorado. :-)
Thanks John! We have a beautiful state here. I'm lucky to have so many opportunities to make content right in the back yard. I appreciate you coming along on the travels.
Kenny another great video it reminds me of my home state of Oregon. You do have a beautiful state. Looking forward to another year of your videos. Happy New Year!
Bro that hike on the trail was beautiful, definitely got me excited to get back out there. That laptop was looking extra cool this video 😜

21:15. Coffee good, coffee sweet, give me something good to drink. 😅
You have gotten so good as a videographer. Seriously, you could do the commercials for the state of Minnesota tourism board!! Your footage was beyond beautiful!! It has been years since I have been to some of the places in this video. I forgot how awesome the scenery really is this time of year in Minnesota. Thank you for doing your videos, Kenny!!
That puts a huge smile on my face! I was out there with my Gopro trying my hardest to capture the moment. I'm so happy to here that it stirred up a memory. That makes all the time spent on this video worth it. I got to thank you so much for sharing that!
He is good.
Going away alone on New Years eve is my idea of heaven. I hate New Year, always go to bed early just to get the night over with. You have the perfect idea
Kenny you are a great ambassador for Minnesota and truck camper life. Enjoyed this video and see you next week!!
O yea , steps are big improvement
Thanks Eric, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Kenny What an Incredible Beautiful Awesome Amazing Scenery love 💕 the water 💦 Falls Awesome 😊
I keep my yak trax in my pickup door pocket for days like that
I really need to pick up a second pair. I have a set I use at work. Guess where I keep them. Lol yep right on the door pocket of the jeep. Great minds think alike!

It is the freedom
Thanks for another great video
Sweet thanks Josh! That really means lot to me!
Beautiful video! Made me laugh. Tuesdays are the best!
Thanks Babe. Hopefully you will find a chance to tag along this winter yet.
First time watching one of your videos. I'm really enjoying.
Thanks! I'm glad you found the channel.
No matter how many times I see a frozen waterfall it still amazes me that it can freeze moving water.
It so cool! The GoPro does ok capturing video. But visiting these places make me wish I knew how to use a real camera.
Unless the flow of water decreases drastically moving water never freezes up completely, just the surface, it is flowing underneath.
Always enjoy your content and your newest video
Thanks!
Great video man! Love your content!
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I keep saying YakTraks! They’re this old guys friend on snow and ice. Even Shaky Bill would like coffee in that cold. Those steps are definitely the business and worth the price. Pork steak in cream of mushroom soup? That’s a cold weather keeper. Be careful, Kenny. I’m looking forward to following you out there someday soon. Thanks for another great video and Happy New Year! 🎉
Thanks Bill! I think you and Mandi are tied on who's telling me to buy a pair of Yak Traks more. One of these days I'll pick up a pair. Remember last winter when I fell looking at Light Houses. That fall turned my leg black and blue from the butt down. One day I'll learn my lesson. Thanks for following along all this time!
Winter camping is my favorite and I love your videos. Be safe out there. Very happy that you did not spend much time on cooking not a big fan of watching people cook that’s typically when I turn off a video. Enjoy your time 👍
Lol.....well, I'm out in the camper right now making Ribs over the campfire. That will be on Tuesday video. Lol.
It's ok, I totally get it. I try to keep the videos moving along quickly. I only have one night a week to record, so I stuff as much in as I can. RUclips isn't my day job, so whatever happens Saturday or Sunday night is what I upload on Tuesday. I appreciate you watching!
Cream of mushroom soup. The secret ingredient of Midwest cooking.
You betcha, It's a staple in any Midwestern dish! Some people think it's only for hotdishes....but there missing out.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I use it making the exact same dish in a crockpot while I'm at work.
@@KennyOfAllTrades The pork steak and mushroom soup hotdish was one of my mom's go-to recipes also. You should try making it with Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup. It has more flavor. I like to layer thinly sliced new potatoes on the bottom of the pot and add the browned steaks or chops and sliced mushrooms. Then mix two cans of Golden Mushroom soup with two cans of water. The potatoes need the additional water to cook and are so tasty.
This works in a cast iron pot in the oven or in the crockpot.
I really enjoy your channel. I was born and raised on the Iron Range and my family tent camped and fished several weekends a year on the Crane-Sand Point- Namakan chain before it became Voyageur's National Park.
Hey Kenny, agree! That’s a nice looking rig. I had an 04’ Chevy 2500HD with a 2012 Lance 865. Really miss that rig. It was quick to pack up and go. I had a finicky Onan Gen…your smart to have a backup. I have a 2018 Ram3500 and switched to a 19’ travel trailer, as the grandkids are popping out like pez candy and love camping.
I cringed watching you ice-surfing down those frozen stairs 😜, you have that move mastered! Another fine peaceful episode and I like seeing the old history tid bits about where you camping. Nice work. Thank you!
So glad this popped on my feed. Thank you for stating the actual campsite number.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Love all your videos Kenny, but especially the winter ones. Amazing footage as always, but particularly the drone footage as you are driving through the forest. Thanks for bringing us on your travels!
Thanks Mark I'm glad you liked the drone footage. It's hard to pick out what part goes in the videos. I probably had 20 minutes of awesome drone video. Thanks for all your kind words! Have an awesome new year!
Thanks!
Awesome Bery! Thank you so much!!
Forget to add the 53 cents for water in the meals! Lol thanks again Kenny!
Darn it! Your right! Oh well, I'll get it right next time. Lol
You have a beautiful state, thanks for sharing! 💖
Great video! Gorgeous views and love your music. 😊👍
That's awesome I really appreciate the kind words.
Since coming across your videos I have been binge watching all that I can !!!!! Love it it looks so nice over there.
Thankyou really enjoyed your channel 😊
Thanks!
I have lived in mn for at least 55 years and I don't think that I have ever been to gooseberry falls.
Such beautiful scenery. ❤️
It is beautiful. Right now, during the week, you can still avoid crowds. I think winter is one of the best times to visit!
Sweet rig man! It’s my dream to own something like this one day.
Thanks! I do love it. It's super comfy. Some people don't consider it camping. But when I work all week I don't want to be ruffing it in the woods Saturday and Sunday. If that was the case I would not have made a video every weekend for the last year. The camper truly feels like a second home. If you enjoy exploring I would definitely recommend a truck camper!
Love winter in Minnesota!
Thanks for leaving a comment Garrett! Have a great New Years!
I'm the same with coffee.....start and end the day with it! Great videos, especially the winter ones!
The new steps are working well for you. Nice!
They do work awesome. I'm glad Torklift sent them out. Thanks
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing and safe travels for 2023!!
Thanks! Happy New Years!
Wow, 30” of snow. I have seen that much snow since I lived in Philly, PA and it shutdown the city in 5ge winter of 1997. Philly got 37” of snow. I worked 5 shifts since the 2nd, 3rd shift couldn’t make it in for 2 days. Luckily a little cafe down the street couldn’t leave either and we made are way to it, for every meal. I worked for Comcast Cellular, now ATT in the switch in Wayne, PA. I can’t believe you all get around in 30” of snow. You must have amazing snow plow support!
Yes we do. The Stae takes care of the HWYs. The County takes care if County Roads. Each Township has their own trucks, and the City rigs handle everything in town. The number of personal plows is astronomical. You will see 100's of personal plow trucks. I have a plow truck ad well. 30 inches will close the schools for a day. But it don't take much more then a day to open everything up.
Just stumbled on your RUclips How very Beautiful waterfall and hike. We have lots of Snow here in the PNW as well, some areas I hike right now are in Avalanche warning so no Hiking for me. Thank you for sharing your Adventure. I am going to go check out your other videos. Love the truck and camper. Happy Hiking 💚 🌱 Happy New Year and Safe Travels.
Sweet! Thanks I appreciate that! I've had the channel going now for the last 20 months. I put out new videos every Tuesday. Most of my Adventures are here in Minnesota because I only have Saturday and Sunday to film.
I have been told Minnesota looks like the PNW before. We lack the mountains though. Our Saw tooth mountain range only rises to 2301 feet. My Dad grew up in Oregon, I'd like to make it out there one day.
@@KennyOfAllTrades this is fabulous I love it out there as well, I havent been to Minnesota in a very long time, it totally is except the Mountains, we just have a little bit bigger of the Mountains here, just a little bit lol Oregon is so very Lovely. I'm in Washington, Absolutely Gorgeous, so is Alaska lots to do and a lot less people. Lots of things to do out here and lots of hikes and camping and different areas can be in the Mountains, then go to the Ocean, or in the Summer be in the Desert or head to the Rainforest. Lol it definitely keeps you in Shape. I will be checking your videos out and looking for you new adventures, and made sure to hit the bell too for notifications Wahoo can't wait to see your new adventure.
So cool! Thanks for checking out the channel I really appreciate it!
Howdy Midwest neighbor. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Heading out to camp myself this weekend.
Look forward to future videos.
Very cool. I haven't decided where I'm going this weekend. I might stay at a truck stop then hit a State Park for a hike. I'll hopefully have it figured out soon . If you see the Arctic Fox makes sure to say hi.
Great video like always
Thanks
🎉 Kenny great video love the snow man your videos are awesome thank You I love coming along with you as if I’m there with you and yes I love your truck and camper even though I’m a Ford man 😂 thanks again
Thanks Tim I appreciate the comment. I've said it in other comments; I'll have this truck for many years but the next truck will be the Ford with the 7.3 gasser.
Great video man. Looking forward to more from you!
Thanks!
My daddy poured concrete underwater @ gooseberry falls in the early 90s
There was a campground near there that had a restaurant… THE BUFFALO HOUSE
There's still a Restaurant and campground close by called the Buffalo house. ( Near Duluth) It was built in the 60s and the original owner had Buffalo on the property. Very cool history. I bet your Dad could tell stories of how powerful those falls can be. If you Google it you will see there A LOT of people that have died falling off the rocks. It happens every few years.
I have a dollar bill in there with my name on it. I think their kids were Shelly and Scott.
Unfortunately I lost my dad in 2011. I’m sure that’s why I treasure this video you have made for the world to see.
Thanks again
The Kenney "stair tumbler"...should be a drink!....lol
That’s beautiful country where you live. I enjoyed the video!
I live in Central Minnesots. The video was shot in the north east part of the state.
That was a beautiful trail that you hiked. Fred and I were surprised at how many cars were at the park in this weather. I have not hiked in that kind of weather in years. I used to take my kids hiking in the snow and they loved it. So true that sometimes going off of the stairs and on the side could be so much worse. I am afraid I know from personal experience, You do have a beautiful truck and camper. We love spending the weekends with you. Have a great week. Mary 💕Fred
Thanks! By the way I saw your comment on Channel Makers! I follow Nate and his channel advice as well. He has tought me alot about navigating world of RUclips. It was cool to see you there too! I hope your channel does awesome in the new year! I'll see you next Tuesday.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Thank you so much and the best of wishes to you as well. Nate has such good advice. See you next Tuesday.
I've been watching a lot of your old stuff and have determined that you have always had some skills in cinematography. It seems to be natural to you spot the most interesting view. I like to come from the future once in a while to critique your work. Easy job, that one. I can tell you, you're still producing great stuff, and you've brought on some extra help, he will become very popular with your fans and will lighten your workload.
Your comment made me laugh, Thank you so much. 😊 I appreciate you going back to check out the older videos! Some of those videos in the first year or two can be tough to watch. 😆
Amazing video. It looks so beautiful with snow
Thanks, I appreciate the comment!
@@KennyOfAllTrades I mispoke on The Buffalo House. It’s inside a KOA in Duluth.
Thank you for bringing my childhood memories with my Father back to me.
Hello. My wife and I are super glad to have found your channel. You see, we are planning to explore northern Wisconsin and Minnesota via truck camper this spring. So you are a fantastic source for off grid campsites. So question, we have a97 F250 HD. Xtra cab, long box, 4wd. We need a camper. Do you know of any for sale?. Something like your set up. Maybe we’ll see you out there. Best wishes. R andR
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I don't know of any for sale at this time. Hopefully you can find one thst works for you. My Arctic Fox is almost 20 years old and still going strong.
Hi Kenny the Food 🥘 is Awesome Amazing mmmm delicious 😊
Thanks for this video and yes, I agree, Minnesota is a beautiful state!!! I’m biased though because it is my home state.
Thanks Vinnie!
I think winter is the beautiful time of the year, especially the water falls ! You are right, Minnesota is fantastic, any time of the year. Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you'all !!
Happy New Years!!!
What a great first video of the new year!! Congrats on the big number jump over the little break! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for ‘23 and follow along on your amazing exploration adventures!! Thanks Kenny! Cheers! 🎉
Thsnks!
Great video tonight. Really enjoyed it Kenny.
Thanks. It was a good relaxing weekend. I appreciate the comment
@@KennyOfAllTrades planning to head to Michigan then Wisconsin this summer in July for a week. Going to hit Mackinac Island, the UP of Michigan to see a friend and west of Green Bay to see a friend. Traveling in the 14 F350 withe the 18 811 artic fox
Hi Kenny, new subscriber from Scotland. 🏴🙋♂️ A fellow van-life RUclipsr recommended your page to me. Great first episode this. Happy new year. Slàinte Mhath 🥃
Sweet! Thanks for checking out the video. I appreciate you leaving a comment as well!
Cloquet? Say hello to Joe from NorthernSeclusion channel.
I'll have to give check that channel out. It's cool to see other Minnesota folks enjoying our beautiful state! Thanks for watching!
@@KennyOfAllTrades If you don't mind watching someone work on his place non-stop, eat tons of food, and throw in some hunting and fishing, you'll like Joe. Lol.
There is a lot about Minnesota that reminds me of Kentucky. Both are beautiful States. It's always nice to be close to an electrical outlet for the heater. Thanks for the ride along. I too watched the new year come in by myself. Alone but not lonely, big difference. Safe travels!
That's right Tony, alone but not lonely! One day I'm gonna make it to the Kentucky and see the Appalachians. Alone, but not lonely. Spot on!
Kenny, I gave you a "10" on your step slide slalom! I would have been on my back looking at the sky!
The falls were awesome in their icy glory. You Minnesotans are a tough bunch! Kudo's!!! Love those camper steps! The wooded drone footage was really good!
Great day Kenny, Cardiologist gave me the results of my heart cath last month....two very small blockages not worth re-plumbing :) He was pleased with the results and I don't have to see him for another year :)
So now I am really in the boondocking mood.....thinking of a Winnebago Micro Minnie trav trailer....only 22ft long, 7 ft wide, 5,000Lb gross weight....perfect for my little Tundra to pull. Going to solar panel it out and have 600 AH of Lithium batteries....able to be disconnected for days at a time, especially with my Champion inverter/gen for back-up.
Just might have to take a little trip North some time to visit some of your favorite spots:)
Another great vid Kenny....thanks for bringing us along with you.
Richard that's awesome news! It's gotta be a great feeling to start planning the new adventure. If you head my way I'll hook you with some of my secret spots. All the best for this new year!
@@KennyOfAllTrades Thanks Kenny, you're the best!
Awesome video nice winter wonderland and suggestions you to grab pair of ice cleats to your boots don’t want mess up your knees like it happened to my son and my wife yikes
You are right, i should keep an extra set in the truck. I had a good pair but brought them to work. I'll have to pick up another set. Thanks for watching!
Those falls are an amazing place...Traveling MN through you. TY
Thanks Mike, awesome comment! I appreciate that.
It’s definitely weird to see you grab that power cord and hooking up to a pedestal. Great video as usual.
Ps: drone flying skills look better, no crashes I hope.
Thanks Jay. No drone crashes this week, winning!
WOW, my goodness Kenny, just look at all of that cold snow and ice, BRrrrrr! I don't know how you walked in that without falling down! 🤔 DON'T get me wrong, I am so happy that you didn't fall, you must have good luck on your side! 🤗😄🤗
The snowy scenery is absolutely gorgeous! So much snow, WOW, talk about walking in a Winter Wonderland, you really done it!
Gee, I can see you living as a mountain man in the mountains and that is a sincere complement my friend, yes, sir, it certainly is! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing your videos Kenny, they are so incredibly impressive and YOU are truly AWESOME! 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗
What size t-shirt do you wear?
When is your birthday?
Take care Kenny,
Your friend,
Didi 👋
❄🌲❄❄🌲❄
Thank you for the compliments! I'm a xl or 2xl depending on the time of year. 😄 I weigh 280 pounds, but I think I carry the weight well. I do need to drop 40 pounds.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Oh Kenny, I think that you look fine (if you don't mind me saying so). You're NOT heavy or fat or anything like that. You're always so very active so I don't think that you have anything to worry about. Yeah, you are correct when you said that you carry the weight appropriately. Good for you!
Yeah, Spring is just around the corner, then watch the campsites fill up, every lake will be bustling with people having fun, swimming, picnicking and even fishing (that is if Mandi left any in the lake), just kidding, sorry, forgive me, I'm just having fun with you. 😆😅😄😂
But, geez those horrid Mosquitos, EEK!!! 😲😨
Take care Kenny,
Your friend,
Didi 👋
🚴🔥🏞🐟🚙
Very nice video! Beautiful views..
Thanks Deb!
Winter camping is awesome rather your camping in a Camper or a Van build or a Suv build we are getting a class c rv here soon we've had a couple pop-ups a couple travel trailers a couple Conversion vans we have a gmc Yukon and Nissan Armada we have a mattress for the suvs for camping for now
That's awesome! I always find myself looking at class c's. Just to give you an idea of how exciting I am.....for date nights, Mandi and I will often walk through RV dealerships. I love looking at campers. The camper I usually end up wanting to go home with is a class c. I dream of exploring the US living full-time out of the camper. That would be awesome!
Beautiful music Kenny!
Kenny - your generator problem can be easily and uniquely silenced. Your generator exhaust pipe and muffler are too short.
(1) Put proper and large rubber feet under the generator stopping any engine block combustion vibration into the camper.
(2) Remove the current exhaust muffler and pipe system.
(3) Check how the muffler pipe is installed to the engine block - (a) bolted flange and threaded port or (b) direct engine block threaded port. Either method, use the threaded flange or the threaded engine block.
(4) Find the same sized diameter (best option) threaded aluminum pipe (~ same thickness as an iron water pipe). My dad silenced an open-ground generator with a threaded engine block and screwed in a conventional iron water pipe (!), buried a 5 gallon can into the ground, and put the elbow and down-pipe into the can. You only heard the engine bearings whine. Walk 15 feet away and no sound. For you there is an even easier amazing way.
(5) Use the same silencing technology of the duck hunting 6 foot long shotgun ported barrel. Cut and thread sections of pipe from the engine block outward beyond the camper edge. Install an elbow. Cut a 6+ foot (whatever length is needed) to have a vertical pipe that goes above the camper top (even way above).
(6) Angle-drill (or custom shop drill) in the silencer ports (12-14-20) at the end-length of the vertical pipe in the last 2 feet of the pipe. Drill bit shold be 1/8th - 1/4 inch diameter. This imitates the same noise and flash suppression systems on military weapons, artillery, and tanks. Drill these ports all at different depths around the pipe - like tapping a sugar maple tree for sugar syrup (shooting apportioned exhaust flows upwards and outward) - sending any noise upwards and diagonally outwards. Do NOT drill a port that is 90 degrees horizontally outward of the pipe. All the noise and the exhaust outflow will then be silenced by the pipe length, and directed above and away from where you (and others) can hear any exhaust airflow being ported. The ported muffler pipe height disperses any exhaust smells above human height.
(7) Each time you use the generator (of course) you need to install the extender pipe into the generator engine block, elbow, and then the vertical muffler pipe. When done remove, and close the generator door. The ported muffler system can be stored under the camper in that gas can storage area you showed.
(8) The ported muffler pipe will silence the combustion exhaust noise, the rubber feet stops engine block vibrations into the camper, and the camper generator compartment will silence the majority of bearings whine.
(9) You can now remove the whole front end generator and bumper basket - lightening up the whole truck chassis and weight distribution !
(10) Enjoy in the park campground, out in the wilderness, in parking lot, alone, or with nearby campers - as you now have a silenced generator.
That is an awesome idea!!
Happy New Year!
Thanks! Have a great New Year!
Happy new year. Wish you and your family a wonderful 2023. Many great adventures.
Thanks, you have a good new year as well!
Another great video Kenny! You have to love driving on icy roads like in that state park. The weight of your rig must help but also push the front end some. That sate park waterfall trail sure looked slippery. On a side note I don't think I have seen any videos where you only make a meal for one. You sure must like your leftovers. I don't know what it is about camping but I love cooking meals in there. It just adds to the fun of the travel. Have a great week and I will see you next Tuesday.
Lol, That's a great observation! I do love leftovers. When I get home from work I hate cooking. I like to throw something in the microwave and call it good.
I love leftovers for work as well so always try to plan 1 extra serving when feeding the family. Think it's more so that I don't like making lunch before leaving for work than wanting leftovers though.
Yak tracks an alternative to getting hurt slipping on the ice!
Great video, Mahalo for sharing.
Kenny, loving your videos. I can see why you love Minnesota, beautiful in the winter! Love the hike. Keep up the good work, your editing is top. Notch!
Thanks Bery! That's really appreciated. I got about 18 to 20 hours into editing this video. Depends if you count exporting and uploading time. Every video is a labor of love and there's so much time invested. It's awesome to see RUclips putting the videos in front of people. I appreciate all the kind words!
@@KennyOfAllTrades honestly Kenny, I’d rather watch the few RUclips channels I subscribe to than pretty much anything else on TV. Keep up the good work! And as always, be kind and be honest.
Nice winter video. Have you ever considered solar and no generator
Yes, that would be awesome, but its not in my immediate future. The last year I've rarly been able to spend more then 1 night a week in the camper. I'm just a weekend warrior with the RUclips channel. If I was out for a few days a week I definitely would. If the channel starts making money I would also think about it. I do see the advantage of solar. The technology is getting better all the time.
Hello and thank you for sharing this adventure with us. My wife and I enjoy your relaxed nature in these videos. Please keep them coming, and let us know when you'd like to explore northern WI.
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I put two winter videos at the end screen. The one on the left is one of my favorites. I went on a hike and my eye lashes froze shut, but it was a beautiful hike. Definitely check it out, it has that relaxed feel. I'll definitely be exploring Northern Wisconsin again this summer. I'll have to hit you up here if you have any tips.
We have watched them all... you have a great relaxed vibe with the channel, and we look forward to the new ones.
Thanks Chris ! I appreciate that
Yeah. That’s what I was saying. I can put these videos on going to bed Kenny is so soft spoken.
What is it that makes the water amber?
Wow, what a winter wonderland, absolutely stunning, especially the falls! Those steps are just perfect, I wonder if they got a little slippery with the mist? Happy to see you didn't forget anything important like your coffee maker or coffee! I love coffee, too, but if I drank that much, I'd spend the day and night going to the bathroom, LOL! My fav is Cafe' Bustelo. Hope it's a wonderful year of camper travels for you with nothing but smiles and wonderful memories! See ya' next week!
Thanks Doodles! I was wondering the same with the steps. Thankfully Torklift put ridges on the steps that provided plenty of traction for this adventure.
Your a go getter and a brave soul to get out there and video for us. Love snow, but that slide down the steps u did scared me. Look at that, the water coming down the rocks in all this snow. Couldn't even see your picnic table.
Thanks for recognizing the effort!
Awesome adventures ❤
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video!! 😊
Nice job! I had a pickup camper for 24 years. I also appreciated my steps. Nice looking rig.
Thanks!
I see you took the advice. That's right always back into your campsite. The first State Park you were in, I don't understand why it's not being maintained in the winter. At the least they should sand or salt the steps if they're not going to shovel them. So all those workers are getting paid to do nothing in the winter. You said " if you don't see a video on Tuesday call the paramedics " 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice video. 👍👍👍
Thanks Joe. I agree they need to do something with those steps.
Happy New Year.
Thanks! Happy New Year!
Gooseberry Falls SP was one of my all time favorite campgrounds as a child. Unfortunately, it has become such a tourist spot that you can almost never get a campsite during the summer months.
You are 100% correct. It's so beautiful. But WOW! The number of people during the summer causes me social overload.
Beautiful views! Awesome video, but keep that white stuff up there! 60 Degree F winter is cold enough for me! Loving the T-shirt winter. 😀
I wish I could send it somewhere Tim. We got about 8 inches since I left for work this morning. Now instead of getting home and chilling for a bit I have to go plow snow...always something! Thanks for checking out the video.
Another great one Kenny! Happy New Year To you and the family
Thanks Steve, Happy New Years!
Kenny, why don’t you wear a helmet when you’re riding your bike? 😮
I really should. The only reason I don't is because I'm a kid of the 80s. No one ever told us to wear helmets back then. So it's never become a habit. I really should get in the habit of wearing one.
I love the Southeast but the north is crazy beautiful
Bro another awesome video can't get enough of that snow especially the snow storms.... add google tracker apps to your phone simple gps tracker just hit record before you leave your camper even without signal it will trace your path I've used it on some hikes in some of my videos 👊
Great tip. I'm gonna download Google tracker. Thanks!
@@KennyOfAllTrades my apologies it's called geo tracker uses Google maps it's saved me twice now
Thanks, I'll give that a shot!
Love all the videos Kenny can’t wait to go camping !
Awesome! I'm glad you are enjoying them. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! I really appreciate it.
Another fantabulous vid, made me chuckle at times lol. Oofta, a saying I use quite often!
Beautiful scenery you took us too again Kenny. I think the MN Tourism Bureau should be offering you free camping year round!
Did I see you plug straight into the pedestal without a surge protector?
I live on the edge Mike....slippery steps and no surge protection for me. What can I say, I'm a rebel.....actually I'm broke I can't afford thst stuff! Remember I didn't even have the camper secured properly for over a month! Lol
@@KennyOfAllTrades oh yeah true, I forgot 3 Fastguns Kenny 😂
Every time you plug in, get the shot in your video…maybe, just maybe one of the watchdog surge protectors folks will see and send you one to review! 🤞🏻
BTW, I did hear your knee crack too…perhaps a case of Biofreeze is in your future to review as well 😝 I personally like the roll-on version 😂
Forgot to tell you, was pissed at you yesterday for a little bit of time! Yep, last night kept hitting refresh for about two hours and no new video out from Kenny 😡 Then I realized, I was having a senior moment, after all I’m 55…yesterday was only Monday DUH 🙄 😆 😂
I love your closing comments, cool
Thanks Dwayne. Before I first started the channel, I was thinking about what kind of message i would like to share. A few days later, a co-worker came into the office upset. He was dealing with a situation and said that people don't know how to act civil towards each other, and the world would be better if people lived by the Golden rule. (Treat others how you want to be treated)
That is where the closing comes from. Being kind and honest makes life easier for ourselves and others around us.
Well dang, I was at Jay Cooke this past weekend. Man, the snowbanks are high up there! Gotta meet up sometime!
No kidding! Mandi suggested I go to Jay Cooke. I left Walmart Saturday Morning and was seriously contemplating Jay Cooke because it was only 10 minutes away. That would have been cool.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I drove up past the Trastle Inn and all access points to any dispersed sites were snowed in. Beautiful drive though. Resorted back to Jay Cooke. A bit closer to the cities. I just can't stand paying $25/night for a site, so I only stayed one night. Those logging trucks were hauling arse on those snowy roads up there. A bit sketchy!
Yep, that exactly right! I just found out that if you attempt to book a reservation at a state park in advance there's another 7 dollar reservation fee. These prices are getting crazy! In last winters videos struck out by the Trestle inn......So i overnighted at boat landings. I never got questioned. You will probably see that again this winter.
Another great video hope you had a great new years
Thanks Walton, anytime I'm in the camper is a good time for me!
Hi Kenny! We headed south for a few months and have been hanging out in Quartzite. Still watching you though. Cheers!!
I would love to see Quartzsite some day. Stay safe on the travels south and thanks for joining me on these adventures.
The scenery is just beautiful! Indiana used to get snow like that, kinda miss it. Thanks again for sharing and God bless! 💜💙💜
Thanks Mrs. H.
Mother nature sure did show us some of her beauty this weekend!
Happy New Year Kenny, thanks again for taking us along.
Thanks, happy New Years
God bless you. I couldn’t camp in snow.
Absolutely beautiful video. I totally enjoy watching your adventures, and especially winter trips into such beautiful forests. Happy New Year from your friends in northern Colorado. :-)
Thanks John! We have a beautiful state here. I'm lucky to have so many opportunities to make content right in the back yard. I appreciate you coming along on the travels.
Happy new year... Another great episode!!
Thanks Mike, have a great new year!
Kenny another great video it reminds me of my home state of Oregon. You do have a beautiful state. Looking forward to another year of your videos. Happy New Year!
Thanks, Happy New Yesrs!
What is Happy New Yesrs lol
Haha! I got stupid sausage fingers. Happy New Years!
