Discovering a Remote Lakeside Campsite in Northern Minnesota
Join Kenny of All Trades as he explores an empty campsite, dry camping in northern Minnesota with his truck camper. Experience epic boondocking and camping adventures in the great outdoors! #truckcamper #boondocking #camping #truckcamping
This Week I'm taking you north into the Paul Bunyan Starte Forest. It was a great weekend. On Friday I was stressing about finding a camping spot. The forests have been so full of campers this year. I have been having a harder time than usual finding empty sites, especially along rivers and lakes. I called by friend Jack during my lunch break on Friday. He suggested heading up to Paul Bunyan State Forest and parking in a wooded pull-off. Thats exactly what I did in last week's video, and it would definitely work out, however Jack suggested taking the e bike up to a beautiful vista where a fire tower once stood. I decided to locate a few potential spots before heading up there. I was so happy I made the drive. I found 3 spots in total; the first one had signs saying no camping. That didn't make it into the video. The second spot had potential I may have to check that out some weekend. The 3rd was an absolute beauty!
Saturday was a wash. It rained most of the day. It wasn't a hard rain, just an annoying mist. I'd hear claps of thunder every once in a while, but it never turned into a soaking rain. The humidity and dew points were crazy high. The air felt so thick you could chew on it. Saturday night I wasn't feeling like eating. I was tired, wet and spent the majority of the day sweating. Thats when the true potential of the truck camper shines. I turned on the air conditioner, took a shower and spent the last few hours of the day watching CZcams. Don't get me wrong, Saturday was still an awesome day camping on the lake. I attempted to catch some fish. I cleaned up the campsite and rebuilt the fire pit. Toby and I went on a few walks, and I really got to see the beauty of Northern Minnesota.
I hope next week I can come across another campsite just like this one. Thanks for coming along on the weeks adventure.

    I really am highly fond of your channel and demeanor. 😢 The thin blue line cup 🍵?. As an old school American Marine, find is distasteful. It is an adulteration of Old Glory .. and serves to further DIVIDE the populace and the servants in government. Don't get pulled to either side of the debates . Just look, at the surface, that blue line, is a DISSERVICE to the ethics and morals of USA.. I prefer a time when police were not DRAWING A LINE between them and us.. You cant see it?

      This video is me answering the question I have received over a thousand times in the past 3 years with my weekly camping videos. Have I ever seen Bigfoot....the answer was no. I say I'm a skeptic. But the legend of Bigfoot is a cool story. So what's your problem?

    Recently moved up to NW Minnesota from Texas. I fulltime RVed with my 3 Labrador Retrievers for two years, and sold it last August. I miss the dispersed camping so much. But I think tent camping is more in the cards. Great video, you are a calming soul.

    Always have a backup fishing pole. I bought one of those small three foot poles. When it's cooler out here in Arizona I keep it in the truck.

    My dogs have chewed on so many, uh, forest bones and never hurt them at all. Dogs are made for that.

    • @KennyOfAllTrades
      @KennyOfAllTrades Před 21 hodinou

      You'd be surprised how many people would have scolded me and called me a horrible pet owner for letting him chew on the bone. One thing I learned about introducing Toby to the Chanel is that A LOT of folks have an opinion on my dog, and their not afraid to share it. I even get people swearing at me for not feeding him steak or bacon off my plate. I'm serious. People called me an F-ing ahole for not sharing food off my plate. There are days that I hate reading the comments.
