Stumbled onto your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching it. Your videos are amazing. The simplicity of them is so refreshing. I’m like you that I hate crowds. I like that you give a bit of history of the spots your in. Love your camper set up. Seems pretty ideal for a weekend warrior. Keep them coming.
Thanks! That's awesome to hear. I put my hart into these videos and I'm glad to hear people are enjoying them for what they are. I'm not a full-time RVer or full-time RUclipsr. I just spend a lot of time exploring my back yard and bring you along for a weekend adventure.
I’m so sorry about your friend. That had to be such a challenging experience to go through. My heart is with you, your friend, and all of his loves. It’s wonderful that he lives on in your memories.
What the heck Kenny! You need me to catch some fish for you and I’m a 70 year old grandma! Holy buckets!!! Just teasing you We love you and your adventures Thankyou for bringing us along🥰
Those types of tragedies never leave the back of ones mind and in this case associated with that dam, rather fitting it was overcast and drizzling the day you spent there. In later years I have thought various times of people whom I was friends with or knew well and either by an accident or by their own hand lost their lives and with it the potential interactions I would have had otherwise with those people up to now and into the future had those events not taken place. On another note you certainly had me cracking up as you exclaimed how good it was that you never caught a fish after all, given the toxic nature of fish in that river. There is no shame in buying commercially netted fish from the store and frying that up in a pan as that tastes great too !
Like 281 👍 Hello from Naples, Florida. We enjoyed your adventure. We also enjoyed watching you preparing your meal. Thank you so much for sharing with us
Thanks! I appreciate that. I'm glad to here you enjoyed the food prep, I have been including them more often. Thanks for watching and leaving a comnent!
Excellent video! I’m going to try portabella mushroom pizza, looks delicious. So sorry about your friend and the memories associated. It’s good that you went there to try to make peace for yourself. Take care, safe travels.
Truck stops have always been good for me. Walmart sometimes has too much drama. I’m so sorry you lost your friend. I lost my best collage friend and I still miss him. Those camera shy fish are a pain. Some of those locks are pretty cool and the crosses are amazing. Your editing is really good. Lost lures are why I fly fish. 😉 Fun video!
Wow, Kenny, what a great video! Yes, it's beautiful as always, but opening up with us, your followers, is epic. So many YTer's on here just post the butterflies and rainbows saga while in vacay mode; you don't and neither does Vic. You give us honest, from the heart video/photography that showcases your beautiful area, your knowledge of the local area, your talents, and you personally. So very sorry for the loss you suffered, and it's plainly evident you're still haunted by your memories of your friend and the "what if's." I look at it like this: the person we become is the result of every decision we have made and everything we have experienced during our lifetime. While it is a great loss, that loss helped make who you are today, your friend is a part of that and a part of who you are. BTW, another great Mandi recipe, too, and very interesting about the rocks, never heard about them. I absolutely love your vids. Some day, when we finally have our TC, we're definitely headed to your neck of the woods and will look you up. But for now I'll just be satisfied watching your weekly videos, just keep 'em coming!
Kenny goes ice fishing, grabs the auger Skrick Skrick Skrick and suddenly this booming voice. "There's no fish there". So Kenny moves to a different spot again Skrick Skrick Skrick and the booming voice again. There's no fish there." Kenny in looks about and says "Is that you God." The voice answers "NO its the arena manager."
Awesome video! Sorry to hear about your friend. Those pizza mushrooms are delicious and using spaghetti sauce is better then pizza sauce. ;) That’s why I use that.
I have enjoyed watching the quality of your videography get better with every video. Beautiful scenery. And I am enjoying the recipes. I am starting Keto this week, so your recipes have inspired me. Thank you again and God bless! 💜💙💜
Thank you so much! I go back and laugh at some of my old videos.....I really had no clue what I was doing. I'm still learning with every video, and I'm still enjoying the weekend adventures. I appreciate your kind words. It definitely keeps me motivated!
No kidding about d cost of healthy eating. The good stuff is definitely expensive but the way I see it, u are what u eat LOL. Sorry bout ur loss, pls don’t blame urself cos he said he was coming to pick u up. He’s in a much better and happier place and u want to know how I know? If he was ur friend there’s no way he could have been questionable. U sir are a ray of sunshine in a dark & dim world; it definitely comes through in ur videos. Pls don’t stop and/or change what ur doing cos ur amazing d way u are. Thank u so much for everything sir 😊
Hello Kenny, I have been absent from your videos lately and I missed them. My wife and I took a 21 day trip to Acadia and then down the New England Coast back to Virginia. It was a spectacular trip and the RAM truck and Lance Truck Camper did fantastic. Most of our stays were without hookups. We also sold our house and moved into my wife's childhood home. We are finally Get back intoa groove and finding our new routine. Keep it up my friend!
Kenny , You've motivated me ! Finally got the truck camper up the north shore for solitude . Found it at Crescent Lake. . Thanks for the videos and keep them coming .
Fred and I stay at rest stops when we travel and the white noise comforts us as well. We love mushrooms and can't wait to try that recipe. Your luck will break soon and you will catch some fish. 🎣 Have a great week, Mary💕Fred
@@KennyOfAllTrades Believe me we do. We love our life and all the beauty around us. We are so blessed to be able to travel and enjoy the wonders that God has given us.
Oooo, gonna have to head to Patrick County VA to look for some of those rocks. How cool! Thank goodness you didn't catch any fish; that would have been terrible. 😂
Ok probably one of my favorite videos Kenny!! I really enjoyed it!! Loved the stories, love the amazing b-roll, the music was spot on, and those rocks are so cool!! I could almost imagine how perfect that cup of coffee was on that overcast cool day. Bravo 👏 I really thought you were going to start reeling those northern pike in this time 😂 it makes me want to get out and go fishing 🎣
Those rocks are cool. I've never heard of them before. That dam reminds me of a place we used to drive to over the border in Maryland called conowingo dam. Every year hundreds of eagles stop there to catch the fish when they turn on the dam. Photographers flock there every yr to photograph the eagles catching fish. I went with my husband to take photos and it was so fun to watch. I about froze though. 😅 Great video Kenny 👍. Mandy's recipe looks good, may have to make it for hubs! He'd love that.😋 God bless you 🙏
Kenny I still look forward each week for your videos since I'm still housebound. I haven't commented but they inspire me so much. My new prosthetics help me get around and outside. I do so hope you keep up your adventures on video. You and your wife should come to Appalachia! We are going to have a very colorful fall here in Kentucky. Stay safe, stay honest and stay kind!😊
Hopefully u become more and more comfortable with the prosthetics every day. I wish I could make it to Appalachia! One day I will, this year I haven't been able to take off much time. Hopefully next fall....
@@KennyOfAllTrades I know you and your wife would love the mountains here. Mention the invite on a video and I can almost bet a-lot of viewers feel the same........
Another great video Kenny! Thank you!!! The stones were awesome....the last one you showed; especially so! In full agreement about eating Mississippi River fish....no way! When we go to restaurants I usually get fish, I always ask if it's farm raised or river fish. If river.....no thank you! Thanks again for bringing us along! Good video Kenny :)
Hello Kenny, Sorry about your Friend, I have lost several from car accidents. Tuff Memories for sure, I agree we like the Truck stops also, Walmart comes alive at nite sometimes, great filming, 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks! I agree. Walmarts can get very interesting. They have great video cameras.... which make people feel safer. But I have been woken up from people living in there cars having full on domestics in Walmart parking lots...haven't had that atxa rest stop yet.........yet....
@@KennyOfAllTrades Well, I'm not gonna lie, I was laughing too! You're excuse was lame. Hahaha! Great content as always, even though you didn't catch anything.
Nice to see your videos getting good hits with the algorithm. 3k views in 2 days, pretty awesome! Think I may have to pass on that pizza though. Mushroom crust doesn’t sound too appealing, hehehe. Great vid as always!
If u enjoy mushrooms you'll love it. It basically tastes like youre eating the toppings off a pizza. The mushrooms don't actually form a crust. They are still soft like a mushrooms would normally be. Very delicious, with you doing Keto I highly suggest it!
Hello from the sunny quiet Ozarks Kenny! Another video of value. We grow round rocks here in the Ozarks, the only place known on earth! Tight lines and bent poles!
Beautiful area. I like your camping style. Finally bought me a truck camper, and your videos were my inspiration. Thank you for sharing your passion. Mine's a fixer upper, but it'll be completed hopefully by Spring.
I love my truck camer! I've been traveling with one since my 20's. They are so easy to maneuver, I forget that it's back there most of the time. There's a channel I enjoy watching KXracer704. He has rebuilt every aspect of an older camper....probably 60 or more videos dedicated to the rebuild. I don't have an older camper anymore but I enjoyed watching him rebuild an older TC.
Always enjoying your videos. Your adventures are so relaxing and the scenery in this one is beautiful with the fall colours. Bummer on not catching any fish this go. Take care Kenny
We plan on using rest stops when we need to so glad to know they work out pretty well. Mushroom pizza looks yummy! I understand about the fish - I always look absolutely gorgeous except when I am on camera - go figure!! LOL So sorry about your friend. Fishing can be very frustrating... ;-) Nice video, Kenny!! 💙Terry and Terri
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Those things are hard to deal with and obviously stay with you. The worms are called nightcrawlers Kenny or how about I just send you some money to buy some fish at Long John's or Captain D's? That walking trail looked neat and would have been great for a bike ride. I have never heard of the rocks but interesting. The meal might be something I will try. Safe travels Kenny!!
Glad you mentioned that Tony! I went on a bike ride and ended up in a really cool little town. I had some great footage! I was editing the video and it was feeling a little long so I scrapped the bike ride. It was so beautiful that I'm going to make another video finding someplace to stay near by, then make a video exploring the Soo Like path on the bike and stopping in the small towns along the way. Another week or two and the leafs will be in full color, I'm hoping it will be an awesome video.
Kenny it sounds like you really struggled with your friend. Sorry for that. You always know have a great community of followers. I'm always intrigued how you use your Droid when your driving. You have a beautiful state.
I struggled for years! Had dreams of him up into my 30's. They always started out fine, but he would get angry and tell me that I had to go with him.....hated them dreams. That place has a lot of memories. A classmates father ended his life by jumping off the old train tracks (now a bike path). And when I got into Law Enforcement my first body pick-up and transpot was from the parking lot. Dude took his life while sitting in his truck....That place has always given me bad vibes. I wanted to spend a whole day there trying to turn that around. I got to reflect a lot and remembered the good times i had fishing with my friend. I wouldn't have not gone there if it wasn't for the camera. It was comforting knowing there were people with me behind the lens of that camera.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Kenny, let go of the guilt. The accident could have occurred anytime. You weren’t driving his truck. Your dreams of Mike getting angry for you to go with him comes from your guilt. If Mike was standing in front of you today what do you think he would say to you? He was your friend, the last thing he would want to do is kill you! Right? He would probably say “Dam good thing I hadn’t picked you up yet man!”. Right?? So try asking him to come fishing with you next time, because you need a little help getting the little buggers to bite. 🍻
I never knew that Minnesota was so pretty, WOW, I am really impressed! Yeah, I am so glad that you didn't catch any fish with all that Mercury in them. Besides, I don't think that you want to "glow" 😆😅😄. What do you think Mandi would say if she saw you glowing? 😃😂😅😄 Oh man, how horrible would that be!!! I would think that sleeping at a Rest Stop would be relatively safe, even though I have never done that. You are so right about eating healthy being expensive and junk food is so cheap, I never really thought about it much, but, you my friend have a very valid point there! Take care my friends, 🌲🌲🌲🌲Keep on Camping🌲🌲🌲 Your friend, Didi 👋 🐋🐟🐠🐟🐳
Hey Kenny someone on FB shared your channel and I just finished watching this first video. I like it!! I'll be watching more today and sub'ing your channel. I travel around in an AF865 on an F450. Gotta love the truck campers huh? Cheers! ~M
That's awesome! It's cool someone shared the channel. I put out videos every Tuesday at 5 CMT. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to travel as much as other RUclipsrs, but I really try to let people know what Minnesota is all about. The new drops in a few minuets! You'll have to check it out. Maybe someday we'll cross paths out on tge road!
I was up on High Rock in Michigan off Lake Superior and learned about stones called Yooperlites. I bought a special flash light to help locate the rocks, but no luck. I wonder if they can be found on the North Shore as well. They have a beautiful glow with that special light.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend; made the hair on the back of my neck stand up as well. Ugh, Kenny Kenny Kenny…think we need to find a witch or warlock (it is Halloween season after all) to lift whatever curse has been placed upon you resulting in your lack of fish catching! Someone put some bad mumbo-jumbo on you! Now we all know what Mandi would say lol Ice fishing is right around the bend; perhaps, just perhaps 🤔
I can't wait to pull a few through the ice. I think I'll put my house out this winter. I didn't last year, to busy trying to get a video put every weekend. But I think I might do a few videos from the ice shack this winter.
I'd have told that trucker mind ya business, then let him call the cops and get yelled at for making an erroneous call to LEOs lol. Sorry about the loss of your friend. I do geek out tho that you're so close to us lol. I definitely want to visit all these places you visit once the new plumbing goes into our vintage airstream (I need my shower and potty lol). I miss our old Northstar popup truck camper tho. Could get into a lot of tighter areas with it. Plus so many thought it was so cool, especially when I took it to Texas. Slept in the wayside rest there and woke up to some guys yelling look at that, that's bada$$! You can't find popup truck campers down there lol 😂 and now I want to find some of these rocks!😁
Hey Kenny, I'm hitting the road tomorrow morning. My rig looks a lot like yours . I'm leaving Vegas after 60 years heading back to Colorado through the 4corners . I have never taken the time to go that route. Maybe I'll see you on the road.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Thank you for responding. I have been a little overwhelmed with the maiden voyage . But I found a beautiful dispersed camping spot with a herd of elk for neighbors. Up by the Az. Snow bowl.
Awesome. Soak up some of the solitude for me. I really miss the road. My hart and mind are at peace on the open road. One day I'll make it out there myself.
Catching up on earlier videos, watched this tonight. Speaking of fishing. Went camping fishing with friends in the DuBois are of Wyoming, beautiful lake, we were in 2 canoes, I caught the first fish. Nice trout about 14-15 inches. They commented I was going to be the lucky one, then I made the mistake of explaining my theory, first one is the last one. Yup, they were hauling in fish all afternoon, but my first was my last. I mainly fly fish, or as I call it fly cast practice. Have the worst luck, so maybe we should fish together.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I absolutely love it for overlanding. And they introduced the new overlanding layer which shows scenic waypoints, gas stations and camping. We started the route in Dubuque, Iowa and ends between Cornucopia and Bayfield Wisconsin. Northern colors were popping. I'd imagine in a week or two they will be peaking.
Sounds like they are in abundance there. I Did a little research on them. The Internet references that park 1st. I hope I put Virginia on my list. I can't remember now. I'll have to watch the video again
😢 sorry about your friend I don't think they're are any fish left ( just pulling for ya) I am sure Mandi would say there are fish because she caught them😅😂 The mushroom pizza yum will try for sure😊
Ok Kenny, my spidey cooking sense is going haywire. So sorry but gotta let ya know. That's not pizza sauce! While RAO (pronounced ruclips.net/video/tdp046VwhDg/видео.html) does have a pizza sauce that they put out, that one is not it! 🤣😉. I mean yeah you can use pasta sauce. Just ain't the same though.
I would never would have pronounced that right! Learned something new.....I've got a lot to learn about cooking.......my mom was not big into cooking.......all red sauces were the same with only a small variation in flavor......ketchup was the go to red sauce. I always appreciate when I visit someone who know what they are doing in the kitchen.
Aldi has packaged cheese on mushrooms with spinach for around $4.00. You cook them in the oven for around 15 minutes. They'll be in the vegetable area near the radishes and cilantro, etc. Aldi also had excellent blue cheeses for really cheap. Generally, every "high class" food at publicly traded, Fed owned grocery chains will be around half price at Aldi. Aldi is a private company.
Kenny, I don’t know if you will see this or not because this video is from last year but… Costco sells that RAO’s tomato sauce (2 for $9) it is a high quality product! No additives or unnecessary ingredients, just tomatoes and flavorings.
You’re absolutely right Kenny. Blanchard has a definite creepy vibe. In the 80s I took a camping fishing trip with my buddies down there several times. I was always creeped out down there. As we graduated high school, the group got smaller until it was just me one year. The walleye fishing was so good though that I went by myself. Like always I was creeped out the whole time. Like I was being watched. I hauled ass out of there in the middle of the night and left my tent because someone was wading in the river throwing rocks at my tent. I yelled out to them and said I had a gun. I didn’t though. When I left my tent I saw a big person in the water crossing the River away from me. I was so out of there. P.s. My buddies and I actually seen some young fisherman shooting up down there one year. Weird. It’s even weirder a mile down the dirt road towards hwy. 10. There’s an old pioneer cemetery in the woods where you’ll find hawk feathers on the graves every time windy or not. The cemetery also has odd Blair Witch crap hanging in the trees higher than a human can reach. Me and my wife love your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad to hear you think the same. It is like someone or something is watching. It doesn't surprise me there was some shooting ip down there. The place gives off bad vibes.
@@KennyOfAllTrades The whole area around there too. I wonder if it’s old Indian land or something. I used to take my kids down there 20 years ago to scare them. But the truth is the hair on my neck stands up down there. And now I do bring the Judge. When you hit it right though, in early June, you can get a limit of nice Walleyes in about 20 casts. Jig and twister tail. White.
Wonder why they have such a big oven in a camper. You would think they would have a half-sized broiler/oven - saving heat, and energy-fuel costs. Not like someone baking a 15 inch cast iron cauldron of irish stew or Pacific clam chowder ...
I've seen him at so many of the same locations I visit. I also watch his channel. That would be neat to run into him one day. Same with Mav. He seems like a real down to earth guy.
you said that there was no Broiler in your oven. Yes there is. You just put your food UNDER the flame in your Oven. Then it will Broil. There is room to do that. I think that one of your racks will fit under there as well. Even though there is not a place to hook rack on the wall of oven. 🙂
You don't want to live in CA - let alone SanFran. In Sioux Falls could have (once) $65 for a full shopping cart with max meat, cheese, wholesome foods - here you can walk out with 4 items in your hand for $60.
That's a completely different world over there. We have junkies just like every other small town in America. But that's nothing compared to what I see going on over there.
Haaaaaa haaaaa haaaaa - first need to put a hook on the fishing line .... Even here on West Coast, we can fish with a bare red enamel hook (looking like a small worm) and get full bites.
That dam always been kind of spooky. We portage around that dam in the 1998 on our Mississippi run. We did it the easy way with a flat back canoe and 2hp Yamaha motor. The fishing was great for bass casting along the shoreline. Surprised to see a few GPS cords now in videos... must have tried appeasing the trolls 🧌 You are definitely showing some cool places in mn for people. Almost caught up
I agree. The area feels off. There are some negative vibes out there. I threw in a few GPS coordinates over the years. I thought I'd see how viewers respond. But it made no difference in views or comments. Maybe it's because they weren't the prime spots.
Stumbled onto your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching it. Your videos are amazing. The simplicity of them is so refreshing. I’m like you that I hate crowds. I like that you give a bit of history of the spots your in. Love your camper set up. Seems pretty ideal for a weekend warrior. Keep them coming.

Oh man! So sorry for your loss, no matter how long ago it may have been, it can still hurt.
Thanks. I thought about Mike a lot that day. Life's a gift.
Life is indeed a blessing. Let your loved ones know you love em and live each day like it’s your last. Hours are like diamonds, don’t let them waste.
I’m so sorry about your friend. That had to be such a challenging experience to go through. My heart is with you, your friend, and all of his loves. It’s wonderful that he lives on in your memories.
What the heck Kenny! You need me to catch some fish for you and I’m a 70 year old grandma! Holy buckets!!! Just teasing you We love you and your adventures Thankyou for bringing us along🥰
You made me chuckle with your fish story!! ( just ask Mandy) 😅🤙
Those types of tragedies never leave the back of ones mind and in this case associated with that dam, rather fitting it was overcast and drizzling the day you spent there.

The stones were awesome....the last one you showed; especially so!
In full agreement about eating Mississippi River fish....no way! When we go to restaurants I usually get fish, I always ask if it's farm raised or river fish. If river.....no thank you!
Thanks again for bringing us along! Good video Kenny :)
Hello Kenny, Sorry about your Friend, I have lost several from car accidents. Tuff Memories for sure, I agree we like the Truck stops also, Walmart comes alive at nite sometimes, great filming, 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks! I agree. Walmarts can get very interesting. They have great video cameras.... which make people feel safer. But I have been woken up from people living in there cars having full on domestics in Walmart parking lots...haven't had that atxa rest stop yet.........yet....
God bless you my friend. I'm so sorry to hear that story about your friend. I hope you felt his presence there.
He was there........laughing at me....he spent a lot of time at that dam and cought a lot of fish.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Well, I'm not gonna lie, I was laughing too! You're excuse was lame. Hahaha! Great content as always, even though you didn't catch anything.
Follow that bike path west on your bike to Bowlus and then on to Holdingford. One of my favorite bike rides in the state. 🚲
I'll have to keep heading west next time. I have some family on Holdingford.
Nice to see your videos getting good hits with the algorithm. 3k views in 2 days, pretty awesome! Think I may have to pass on that pizza though. Mushroom crust doesn’t sound too appealing, hehehe. Great vid as always!
If u enjoy mushrooms you'll love it. It basically tastes like youre eating the toppings off a pizza. The mushrooms don't actually form a crust. They are still soft like a mushrooms would normally be. Very delicious, with you doing Keto I highly suggest it!
@@KennyOfAllTrades I do love mushrooms…just not the biggest fan of portabellas. They answer my question,”how much mushroom is too much mushroom?”
Hello from the sunny quiet Ozarks Kenny! Another video of value. We grow round rocks here in the Ozarks, the only place known on earth! Tight lines and bent poles!
Beautiful area. I like your camping style. Finally bought me a truck camper, and your videos were my inspiration. Thank you for sharing your passion. Mine's a fixer upper, but it'll be completed hopefully by Spring.
I love my truck camer! I've been traveling with one since my 20's. They are so easy to maneuver, I forget that it's back there most of the time. There's a channel I enjoy watching KXracer704. He has rebuilt every aspect of an older camper....probably 60 or more videos dedicated to the rebuild. I don't have an older camper anymore but I enjoyed watching him rebuild an older TC.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I'll check him out. Thanks for the information.
Kenny, your friend is standing over there with a big cat on his line, a black rock in his pocket, and a thumbs up for you.❤
Sorry about your friend.
Thanks, it was 28 years ago, but still weighs heavy on the mind.
Always enjoying your videos. Your adventures are so relaxing and the scenery in this one is beautiful with the fall colours. Bummer on not catching any fish this go. Take care Kenny
Thanks Sue. I'm hoping the next few videos capture the colors. It should be prime time for the leafs soon!
As a trucker and nomad, I enjoy the rest areas way more than a truckstop..
Thanks for the video, Kenny.
👍✌️
We plan on using rest stops when we need to so glad to know they work out pretty well. Mushroom pizza looks yummy! I understand about the fish - I always look absolutely gorgeous except when I am on camera - go figure!! LOL So sorry about your friend. Fishing can be very frustrating... ;-) Nice video, Kenny!! 💙Terry and Terri
One day Kenny you'll catch that big fish on camera... Love the channel
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Those things are hard to deal with and obviously stay with you.
The worms are called nightcrawlers Kenny or how about I just send you some money to buy some fish at Long John's or Captain D's? That walking trail looked neat and would have been great for a bike ride. I have never heard of the rocks but interesting. The meal might be something I will try. Safe travels Kenny!!
Glad you mentioned that Tony! I went on a bike ride and ended up in a really cool little town. I had some great footage! I was editing the video and it was feeling a little long so I scrapped the bike ride.
It was so beautiful that I'm going to make another video finding someplace to stay near by, then make a video exploring the Soo Like path on the bike and stopping in the small towns along the way. Another week or two and the leafs will be in full color, I'm hoping it will be an awesome video.
That would be really interesting. I really like seeing different towns and the bike rides..
Lol!!! The bad luck continues.... I have faith in you though Kenny.
Kenny it sounds like you really struggled with your friend. Sorry for that. You always know have a great community of followers. I'm always intrigued how you use your Droid when your driving. You have a beautiful state.
I struggled for years! Had dreams of him up into my 30's. They always started out fine, but he would get angry and tell me that I had to go with him.....hated them dreams. That place has a lot of memories. A classmates father ended his life by jumping off the old train tracks (now a bike path). And when I got into Law Enforcement my first body pick-up and transpot was from the parking lot. Dude took his life while sitting in his truck....That place has always given me bad vibes. I wanted to spend a whole day there trying to turn that around. I got to reflect a lot and remembered the good times i had fishing with my friend.
I wouldn't have not gone there if it wasn't for the camera. It was comforting knowing there were people with me behind the lens of that camera.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Man what a story.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Kenny, let go of the guilt. The accident could have occurred anytime. You weren’t driving his truck. Your dreams of Mike getting angry for you to go with him comes from your guilt. If Mike was standing in front of you today what do you think he would say to you? He was your friend, the last thing he would want to do is kill you! Right? He would probably say “Dam good thing I hadn’t picked you up yet man!”. Right?? So try asking him to come fishing with you next time, because you need a little help getting the little buggers to bite. 🍻
Very true, thanks
Great video, thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Jeff. I appreciate the comment.
Love your videos, they are so relaxing. Thanks for sharing some of your life here on RUclips. :)
That's an awesome comment. Thank you so much for watching.
Rafferty pizza is my favorite! Just ate there in nisswa..
💯
At least we know Kenny isn’t a fake fisher that only shows us the trophy fish. Let’s be honest this is what most days of fishing consist of!
Thanks. You are right. We can't be catching trophies every time. I really appreciate the comment.
I never knew that Minnesota was so pretty, WOW, I am really impressed!
Yeah, I am so glad that you didn't catch any fish with all that Mercury in them. Besides, I don't think that you want to "glow" 😆😅😄. What do you think Mandi would say if she saw you glowing? 😃😂😅😄 Oh man, how horrible would that be!!!
I would think that sleeping at a Rest Stop would be relatively safe, even though I have never done that.
You are so right about eating healthy being expensive and junk food is so cheap, I never really thought about it much, but, you my friend have a very valid point there!
Take care my friends,
🌲🌲🌲🌲Keep on Camping🌲🌲🌲
Your friend,
Didi 👋
🐋🐟🐠🐟🐳
Thanks again Kenny, for letting me tag along
My pleasure!
Hey Kenny someone on FB shared your channel and I just finished watching this first video. I like it!! I'll be watching more today and sub'ing your channel. I travel around in an AF865 on an F450. Gotta love the truck campers huh? Cheers! ~M
That's awesome! It's cool someone shared the channel. I put out videos every Tuesday at 5 CMT. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to travel as much as other RUclipsrs, but I really try to let people know what Minnesota is all about. The new drops in a few minuets! You'll have to check it out. Maybe someday we'll cross paths out on tge road!
@@KennyOfAllTrades Thanks! I have a couple other channels I watch that also drop on Tuesdays. Perfect!!
Oh I'm a north shore rock nut....but those cross rocks.......how cool!!!!! Thanks for sharing
I was up on High Rock in Michigan off Lake Superior and learned about stones called Yooperlites. I bought a special flash light to help locate the rocks, but no luck. I wonder if they can be found on the North Shore as well. They have a beautiful glow with that special light.
@Kenny Of All Trades I looked it up you CAN. I'd try Paradise Beach just so of Hovland
Awesome. I'm gonna remember that for next time I go up!
Terribly sorry for your loss.
This one brings back memories. Spent a lot of time at Blanchard when I was a teenager, back then there were no rails/chainlink fence on the bridge.
I'm glad the video was able to take you back time.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend; made the hair on the back of my neck stand up as well.
Ugh, Kenny Kenny Kenny…think we need to find a witch or warlock (it is Halloween season after all) to lift whatever curse has been placed upon you resulting in your lack of fish catching! Someone put some bad mumbo-jumbo on you!
Now we all know what Mandi would say lol
Ice fishing is right around the bend; perhaps, just perhaps 🤔
I can't wait to pull a few through the ice. I think I'll put my house out this winter. I didn't last year, to busy trying to get a video put every weekend. But I think I might do a few videos from the ice shack this winter.
I'd have told that trucker mind ya business, then let him call the cops and get yelled at for making an erroneous call to LEOs lol. Sorry about the loss of your friend. I do geek out tho that you're so close to us lol. I definitely want to visit all these places you visit once the new plumbing goes into our vintage airstream (I need my shower and potty lol). I miss our old Northstar popup truck camper tho. Could get into a lot of tighter areas with it. Plus so many thought it was so cool, especially when I took it to Texas. Slept in the wayside rest there and woke up to some guys yelling look at that, that's bada$$! You can't find popup truck campers down there lol 😂 and now I want to find some of these rocks!😁
Hey Kenny, I'm hitting the road tomorrow morning. My rig looks a lot like yours . I'm leaving Vegas after 60 years heading back to Colorado through the 4corners . I have never taken the time to go that route. Maybe I'll see you on the road.
If you are ever up in these parts and see my rig definitely stop by and say hi!
@@KennyOfAllTrades Thank you for responding. I have been a little overwhelmed with the maiden voyage . But I found a beautiful dispersed camping spot with a herd of elk for neighbors. Up by the Az. Snow bowl.
Awesome. Soak up some of the solitude for me. I really miss the road. My hart and mind are at peace on the open road. One day I'll make it out there myself.
Haha onions haha! Nice shower is always good😂. Maybe the fish are like Bigfoot 😂❤
Catching up on earlier videos, watched this tonight. Speaking of fishing. Went camping fishing with friends in the DuBois are of Wyoming, beautiful lake, we were in 2 canoes, I caught the first fish. Nice trout about 14-15 inches. They commented I was going to be the lucky one, then I made the mistake of explaining my theory, first one is the last one. Yup, they were hauling in fish all afternoon, but my first was my last. I mainly fly fish, or as I call it fly cast practice. Have the worst luck, so maybe we should fish together.
Hi Kenny the food 🍱 is Delicious mmmmmm so good 😊
I Just did the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail. 4 day trip. You'll have to check it out. I have the Gaia maps if you want them.
I've never used that map service. How do you like it.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I absolutely love it for overlanding. And they introduced the new overlanding layer which shows scenic waypoints, gas stations and camping. We started the route in Dubuque, Iowa and ends between Cornucopia and Bayfield Wisconsin. Northern colors were popping. I'd imagine in a week or two they will be peaking.
Rafferty’s in Brainerd is sooo good! Been going there for as long as I can remember an I’m 51 lol
Tower is good too!!
It's one of my favorites!
5:05 Your videos make me hungry every time I watch them!
Those stones can be found at Fairy Stone State Park in Virginia too.
Sounds like they are in abundance there. I Did a little research on them. The Internet references that park 1st. I hope I put Virginia on my list. I can't remember now. I'll have to watch the video again
@@KennyOfAllTrades I found a couple there some years ago
Fishing waders and a float tube to get you into the deep areas - or under that building where the lunkers hide out in the eddy current.
😢 sorry about your friend
I don't think they're are any fish left ( just pulling for ya) I am sure Mandi would say there are fish because she caught them😅😂
The mushroom pizza yum will try for sure😊
If you glow in the dark you can get rid of the mood lights.
Got to love being efficient. Lol
Great job on referencing an older video! If I had a Super Viewer list you'd be on it for sure!
Ok Kenny, my spidey cooking sense is going haywire. So sorry but gotta let ya know. That's not pizza sauce! While RAO (pronounced ruclips.net/video/tdp046VwhDg/видео.html) does have a pizza sauce that they put out, that one is not it! 🤣😉. I mean yeah you can use pasta sauce. Just ain't the same though.
I would never would have pronounced that right! Learned something new.....I've got a lot to learn about cooking.......my mom was not big into cooking.......all red sauces were the same with only a small variation in flavor......ketchup was the go to red sauce.
I always appreciate when I visit someone who know what they are doing in the kitchen.
Aldi has packaged cheese on mushrooms with spinach for around $4.00. You cook them in the oven for around 15 minutes. They'll be in the vegetable area near the radishes and cilantro, etc. Aldi also had excellent blue cheeses for really cheap. Generally, every "high class" food at publicly traded, Fed owned grocery chains will be around half price at Aldi. Aldi is a private company.
Kenny, I don’t know if you will see this or not because this video is from last year but… Costco sells that RAO’s tomato sauce (2 for $9) it is a high quality product! No additives or unnecessary ingredients, just tomatoes and flavorings.
Thanks for the tip! I shop at Costco. I'll pick it up the next time I'm there.
Hahahahaha ... Kenny the Onion of all trades ... Kenny of all Onions
You’re absolutely right Kenny. Blanchard has a definite creepy vibe. In the 80s I took a camping fishing trip with my buddies down there several times. I was always creeped out down there. As we graduated high school, the group got smaller until it was just me one year. The walleye fishing was so good though that I went by myself. Like always I was creeped out the whole time. Like I was being watched. I hauled ass out of there in the middle of the night and left my tent because someone was wading in the river throwing rocks at my tent. I yelled out to them and said I had a gun. I didn’t though. When I left my tent I saw a big person in the water crossing the River away from me. I was so out of there. P.s. My buddies and I actually seen some young fisherman shooting up down there one year. Weird. It’s even weirder a mile down the dirt road towards hwy. 10. There’s an old pioneer cemetery in the woods where you’ll find hawk feathers on the graves every time windy or not. The cemetery also has odd Blair Witch crap hanging in the trees higher than a human can reach. Me and my wife love your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad to hear you think the same. It is like someone or something is watching. It doesn't surprise me there was some shooting ip down there. The place gives off bad vibes.
@@KennyOfAllTrades The whole area around there too. I wonder if it’s old Indian land or something. I used to take my kids down there 20 years ago to scare them. But the truth is the hair on my neck stands up down there. And now I do bring the Judge. When you hit it right though, in early June, you can get a limit of nice Walleyes in about 20 casts. Jig and twister tail. White.
Definitely need get a small cutting board / plz!
Wonder why they have such a big oven in a camper. You would think they would have a half-sized broiler/oven - saving heat, and energy-fuel costs. Not like someone baking a 15 inch cast iron cauldron of irish stew or Pacific clam chowder ...
That spot looks exactly like the one Murda from FishNMore Outdoors always goes to.
I've seen him at so many of the same locations I visit. I also watch his channel. That would be neat to run into him one day. Same with Mav. He seems like a real down to earth guy.
you said that there was no Broiler in your oven. Yes there is. You just put your food UNDER the flame in your Oven. Then it will Broil. There is room to do that. I think that one of your racks will fit under there as well. Even though there is not a place to hook rack on the wall of oven. 🙂
That is genius!!!
💔🙏
Fishing is a challenge for everyone. Anyone who videos catching dozens is cutting out the part where they got nothing ☺️
I know when I see a truck camper at a rest stop, something bad is about to happen. 😂
There are Superiorite and Yooperite rocks ... then there are more Superior-wrongs, Pooperites, and Leaverites.
Speaking of cats do you watch Hannah when she noodles for big catfish? her arm is marked up bigtime.
It ain't you, the fish are just camera shy.
Perfect! I'm going to use that!
Dude I saw a figure behind you at damm
😊 watching this old video and it definitely is different without Toby.
It really is!
You don't want to live in CA - let alone SanFran. In Sioux Falls could have (once) $65 for a full shopping cart with max meat, cheese, wholesome foods - here you can walk out with 4 items in your hand for $60.
I'm glad I don't live in that world.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Of course also, you have to step around the homeless, cribbies, insanes, dopers, ... and the s**t on the sidewalks as well.
That's a completely different world over there. We have junkies just like every other small town in America. But that's nothing compared to what I see going on over there.
Haaaaaa haaaaa haaaaa - first need to put a hook on the fishing line .... Even here on West Coast, we can fish with a bare red enamel hook (looking like a small worm) and get full bites.
🏕🏕🏕
Love Raffertys pizza! Hit the one in Crosslake when we camp at COE in Crosslake.
That dam always been kind of spooky. We portage around that dam in the 1998 on our Mississippi run. We did it the easy way with a flat back canoe and 2hp Yamaha motor.
The fishing was great for bass casting along the shoreline.
Surprised to see a few GPS cords now in videos... must have tried appeasing the trolls 🧌
You are definitely showing some cool places in mn for people. Almost caught up
I agree. The area feels off. There are some negative vibes out there. I threw in a few GPS coordinates over the years. I thought I'd see how viewers respond. But it made no difference in views or comments. Maybe it's because they weren't the prime spots.
You made me chuckle with your fish story!! ( just ask Mandy) 😅🤙
