This week I headed up to the Foothills State Forest West of Pine River. I found a spot on the cell phone that looked like it was going to work awesome. I pined the location on Google Maps but wouldn't bring me to it. There was no record of the trails existing. Not even the OnX App had them listed. I thought they looked passable from satellite imagery, so I took my chances. When I arrived, I found the main trails to be in fair condition. However, the trail leading back to the dispersed campsite was completely overgrown. I decided to check on a boat landing a mile or so away. All the trials in the area looked like they deadened at the landing. When I got there, I was so happy I didn't push the camper to my original spot. This place was awesome! I had a great time. The leaves are at about 50 percent right now. The next two weeks have to potential to be breathtaking. Thanks for coming along on this week's adventure. - Zábava
My son and I were shot at by the fire camping once. It’s a great way to ruin a nice quiet evening. After we got the fire out and dug through everything we realized the rounds were 9mm and under a layer of dirt and ash. Someone planned for the fire to burn a while before they would go off so they hid them really well. I really like how you pick up the trash at the campsites. I’ve taught my kids to do the same. We always have extra garbage bags.
Glad you and your son weren't hurt, what a crappy thing to do! 😡 Karma will hopefully do it's job!
That is awful . I don't understand what goes through people's minds. It's a crazy world we live in. Hope no one got hurt.
Agree
I've heard of spikes, seen nails and broken glass strategically placed upon a campsite. But ammo, that's a whole new level of messed up.
@@KennyOfAllTrades thanks, luckily the rounds were in enough dirt and ash to only explode and scare the crap out of us. After the second one went off and we figured it out, we doused it with water and let everything cool down for a while. We always are careful now. Since we camp where there’s a lot of large rocks, I typically make a base layer for the fire to sit on, just in case someone decides to leave ammo in the fire pit again. 🙄
Another great spot Kenny looks like it was very quiet. beautiful leaves. Thanks for sharing.
One of my new favorite channels to watch!! 💙💯🙏
I appreciate that
After last week's video we ran out to Walmart and got the same air fryer as you, been having a lot of fun with it trying out all kindsa foods. Glad to see yours is becoming a key part of your camping outfit. Keep up the awesome videos, bud!
Thanks. I'm glad you are getting use out of that Fryer as well.
The reason I like camping...teeny little living quarters, million acre back yard. Usually with nobody in it but me and Mrs.
Getting out in nature in any fashion is always fun!
Heals my soul ❤️
Kenny I love your videos and your calm, kind demeanor. We need more people in the world like you!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support for the channel.
Another great episode, Kenny. I hope Mandi was cool about your editing skills last week too! 😄 Thanks for taking us along, I feel like I know the great state of Minnesota well, even though I've never been - that's all thanks to you, Sir.
Love from Glasgow, Scotland. 🥃 🏴
Thank you so much. Mandi was ok with it. She said it wasn't going any further than that. I'll keep working her in slowly. Just getting her in the video was a huge step. I'm glad you enjoy seeing a little bit of home here.
Oh how I love this! Let me count the ways…
1.Plan B for the WIN!
2. Mesmerizing drone footage. My favorite parts of the video. Makes me feel like an eagle!
3. Fall colors make my heart happy. All the colors but especially the reds..And the fog? Awesome!
4. You once again cleaning up the world, one campground at a time.
5. A saying I use all the time…”It will be fine..”
6. Using a vacuum to round up the bugs, brilliant!
7. Blissfully crisp chicken thigh skin.
8. Cherry dessert? Yum!
9. The view….from every window and especially your door.
10. Background music hits the spot!
I could go on and on…
And for your information, our time spent with you is NEVER enough.
Thanks for being kind and honest.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Cya next week!
This was a beautiful comment. Thank you so much!
I have a great appreciation for Minnesota because of your videos!
I appreciate that. I hope people get that from these videos. I'm happy to share a little glance of Minnesota every week.
I love your constant need to reach further and further into making life simpler. We sure can learn from you. Your excitement makes me inspired to do something new.
What beautiful fall colors!
Thanks, Kenny, for bringing us along! The fall colors are so pretty and your meal looked delicious ❤
The fall views are just breathtaking.
He is the K.O.A.T
I've got a prediction that someday your fishing will be as good as your videos. 😂 Thanks for the Tuesday evening entertainment!
Cheers
I make all sorts of stuff in those pie irons. Pizza, fruit pies, omelets etc
Omelets and pizza will be next on my list. Thanks!
Kudos to you for cleaning up after those that thought they were too important to clean up after themselves. Last week when I was on vacation and visited Copper Harbor and High Rock Bay I came across a plastic inner fender just sitting on the side of the trail. I stopped and picked it up because I want the trail to be open for others to enjoy too.
Wow Kenny! Don’t you just love this season?!? Praise the Lord for all the amazing colors and the beauty that we get to experience. Wishing you many more adventures before the leaves are off the trees!
Fingers crossed 🤞. I think I might bring the camper to work Friday. I'll see if I can get enough content for a video by Saturday and have Sunday to edit. I'd hate to miss a video of this beautiful scenery. The window is so short. I absolutely love this time of year.
Kenny, It was another amazing video. I am just so mesmerized by the color of the leaves. I never thought about checking the fire ring/fire pit for ammo!I appreciate it. Thank you for teaching me something today.
PS. So glad Mandi of all trades is not upset with you. 😂
I would never have thought about that either - but now I’ll be super cautious.
Pudgie pie desserts! Those were our favorite at scout camps!
Absolutely beautiful fall colors! My favorite time of year! Very relaxing video… Man if I was with I would have hammered those bass… Just saying😂
Thanks babe! I'm sure you'd have pulled in a few. Maybe we will have to do a catch and cook video before the ice comes in.
Yes!!!
That Bass was something else Kenny, I think it had a escape plan before you even hooked him. That was a great looking bass though.
Your methodology for finding the best places to camp sure works for you. That was really a fantastic site. I enjoyed watching you traveling down the road to get to it.
So glad you have a new drone! You do such a fine job to create such good looking scenes with it.
As far as the occasional troll that comments "is it really worth it" obviously they have never camped, or they would know it really is. Maybe they're idea of fun is staying in a crowded hotel in Vegas: to each their own but I prefer natural beauty. Looks like you're in for great colors there. We haven't had a decent rain in two months, so our colors are going to be pretty pallor in comparison.
Thanks again for bringing us along Kenny! You really create some great videos!
Thank you Richard I appreciate that.
You found a beautiful spot! The fall colors were awesome, much more color than in Eastern Pa yet. 🤗 The cherry desert looked yummy
Thanks!
Hey Kenny, what a beautiful spot. Thanks for letting us tag along with you. I never realized how much enjoyment can fill one small weekend. Now we are looking at doing the same with the Rv also. The forests and state parks are just perfect and something that we never considered. Keep up the good camping, we love it. And please give a thumbs up to Mandie for being so awesome!!👌
That is so awesome. I'm glad to hear others are trying out the state forests. These free campsites are out there waiting for us nature lovers.
Thank you for picking up other people's trash. That lake view is very nice.
We made those pies the same way when I was a kid. Good memories.
I wanted to do something fun for this video. I remember making them ad a kid too. I was glad to see Walmart still sold those pie irons. I'm happy it brought back a memory for you.
Another. Beauty Kenny excellent please keep the tuesdays rolling fall 🍁
I was hoping to see you land that bass!! Another enjoyable video. Thanks for making them.. sure helps pass the time in the hospital room
I hope the videos can provide a little escape for you.
We've camped that spot many times. A favorite for 4 wheeling. I've been out there alone overnight, and man is it quiet and dark at night.
It was one of the darkest nights I can remember. It was a full moon that night, and dead silent. You could hear a pin drop.
You should be throwing some weedless topwater baits and frog baits in those lily pads. You’d catch some big bass in there. Maybe a musky or pike.
Hello Kenny, you definitely found the best view, Safe Travels 👍🏼🇺🇸
Air fryer was a great invention!
💯
Heyy Kenny, awesome aerial footage the fall colors are gorgeous, nice camping spot amazing view, it's a shame people don't know how to clean up after they are done, the chicken and cherry dessert looks delicious, another great video thanks stay safe
Loving the fall colors, the leaves haven’t turned down south yet so thanks for the preview!
Good for you, sir on getting your part 107 just because the drones tiny and weighs under 250 g as you mentioned , if you’re advancing a business in anyway that counts as needing the part 107
Those pie irons are great! Fruit pies, pocket pizza, pocket hobo sandwich.....so versatile!.
I'll have to try pizzas next!
You got me with that Binford 2000 comment 😂😅 ughh ughh, more power!
Oh man. More store bought wood. 😄
Love your videos!
Man! Kenny that's a blessing that you got a new drone and that's some beautiful scenery.. love it ..
Another great video...
Thanks! I hope next weekend even brings us more colors. I'm going to bring the camper to work on Friday. My plan is to start filming right away. Hopefully I can get enough footage on Friday and Saturday. Then I can edit all day Sunday. I'd hate to miss out this time of year. Fall is such a short window in Minnesota. It's going to be negative 40 in the blink of an eye.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I can't wait.... Thank you CHAMP!
A beautiful spot and weather. Just getting that Bass on the line makes it worth the trouble. 👍
Exactly 💯 thanks Randy
Just because you're sleeping in a metal camper does NOT mean you aren't camping. You're just more protected from possible criminals and such. The rest is all the same 😊. Don't even mention the trolls or give them space in your head. That's exactly what they are trying to do. Blessings! We always sprinkled powdered sugar on our mountain pies😋. Also try making pizza ones😋❤️
I'm going to try the pizza next time. Those trolls know how to get under my skin. I had to stop reading comments by Thursday night because I was carrying the negative around in my head all weekend. I am used to dealing with drunks talking stuff to my face. I can deal with that. But small-minded bullies hiding behind their screens is something different. I must have had a dozen comments the last week telling me my videos were a waste of time, worst camping on CZcams. Why would someone waste their effort to even type that out....why not turn off the video and find something they like. I love interacting with all my regular viewers. We are out there together. But I've thought about turning off comments. I've had weekends that I don't even want to hit record knowing all the crap talk I'll get for my effort. Sorry.....I had to vent a little.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I’m from Australia and I love watching your videos, there’s always going to be the bottom feeders trying to drag you down for doing something you enjoy. They just be jealous and pathetic. ❤
I agree with our Australian friend above. Only people that have no life would do such a thing, sadly there are too many of them out there on CZcams... so many other channel creators are experiencing the same thing. Just remember who you are and what you are made of sir ❤! You are kind and good and have no evil intentions. We all respect you 💞 that's all that matters.😊
@teresap.5991 Thank you so much
@@KennyOfAllTradesI’ve been bullied my whole life one way or another, so remember every channel here gets bombarded by jealous little sheepletons. The nasty remarks are always a form of jealousy! they feeling sorry for themselves so they lash out at strangers- it’s that princess syndrome surfacing 😂. 🍻
Beautiful topography pics..I still would rather be out doing what you do
My goodness how beautiful this spot is. I am jealous.
Beautiful spot. Right by water. Awesome. The leaves are certainly turning colors. Chicken looks good.
Kenny, you find some of the best campsites on the planet I gotta believe absolutely gorgeous
WOW Kenny great spot for sure, You brought back memories for mw too with that pie maker I am going to get one, In the 80"s I was president of a Van Club we always made pies at meets LOL, I am heading to Tennessee this weekend for Adventure Van Expo hope to see some fall colors stay safe
Awesome video Kenny!!! Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing every week. Really looking forward to the next video. Take care be safe buddy.
Thanks! I appreciate the comment 😊
Very beautiful site amazing video. Thank you
Nice to have the drone shots back 👍✌️
Hobo pie! We made tons of them when the kids were young. Brings back memories! 😊Great video.
Thanks! The pie was great. I love it when the videos can bring back a memory.
That sure is a beautiful location Kenny.......thanks for putting in the work!
Next cherry pie add some cheesecake filling too. 😊
Oh my gosh thst sounds amazing!
I love your truck camper set up. I want one someday soon. To those that question wanting creature comforts, live and let live. Your back will thank you for sleeping on a mattress. And you can tolerate your own space by having a shower, lol
My thoughts exactly. Thank you. 😊
Hi Kenny, awesome 🎉video that was a beautiful camping spot thanks for sharing you’re Awesome friend🎉
Thanks for following along!
Love the music you integrate with the videos.
Thanks
Thanks for posting another great video. Normally by now I have winterized my camper and put it I away but the weather's been so nice this fall we are going to try squeeze in one more fall camping trip before I put the camper away
Have Fun!
Wow, million dollar view is an understatement. When you say "wholly buckets" it inspires me to be a better person and substantially reduce my use of unnecessary profanities. I'm not that bad with it, but could be less.😊
I also have the mini2, great little bird.
Thank you Dean. 😊
Another gourmet Kenny dinner 👍
Great video Kenny, enjoyed the drone videos and Fall colors.
Easy desert, will try that with the kids. Thanks for sharing.
Super easy. I bought the irons at Walmart. They also have doubles. They are in the camping section. I hope the kids love them. It was a good memory from my childhood.
Awesome location and I enjoyed the video.
Hey Kenny thanks for this weeks video.
I appreciate you taking the time to follow along.
I just wanted to say that you do an awesome job balancing a full time job and making videos on weekends. Hats off to ya!
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Very beautiful spot. My favorite time to camp is in the fall. I love the leaves.
You always find the best spots. This weekend has got to be one of the best ones.
Thanks!
I use crescent biscuit dough. Roll it out to be a little thinner, add the pie filling of choice. Fold to a triangle and use fork around the edges to seal. Egg wash it all. Repeat for a second one. Spray the iron and put both in the iron, folded side touching. Bake until golden brown on both sides. Let cool some. Enjoy!
Sounds excellent
Hello Kenny. God to see you use reflex vest against shooting crazy hunters he he. I like your concept and your way of being. Many thanks from Lars. God bless🇺🇸🇳🇴
Thanks!
Kenny,
I look forward to all your great videos. Thanks for the quick response.
Been all over up there and enjoy the things you do.
Any way, take care and thanks again
Tim
Kenny, that was a beautiful place you pick to camp beautiful water awesome sunrise what can you ask for your friend Dave
Thanks for following along. I appreciate the comment.
@@KennyOfAllTrades your welcome Kenny
I like that you actually camp and cook. So many channels are fake camping
Thanks. I appreciate that. Im glad you recognize that the channel is as real as it can be. It's not an Instagram fantasy.
Good time for having the e-bike and ATV and hitting all those tight trails for some absolute colors and views
Beautiful fall colors!! Great vid! Thanks! 👍👍👍
You are so lucky to have so many great spots. Thanks for another one my friend.
Air fryer crispy chicken and campfire cherry pie! What could be better? Maybe ice cream with? All that and stunning scenery. Thanks Kenny!
Thanks Bill.
spectacular to see the beginning of autumn with the variety of colors, I love it
Very true. I love this time of year.
So very pretty. I’m in Texas where we’re still doing Summer. I was actually outside in 90 degree weather thinking “wow, it is cool today!”
Oh boy. I can't imagine the heat you all deal with if 90 is cool. I hear you had a long-term heat wave this summer. I hope you get relief soon.
Hi Kenny. I must say this almost every time I watch your videos....but lets say it again....I love watching your videos! I can't tell you how relaxing your videos are. I feel like I am there, didn't like the beetles though. LOL. Thank God for the vacuum. Love hearing that coffee pot going in the morning. Reminds me of my sisters house. 17 acres of peaceful surroundings. Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee. Going upstate NY in a few weeks. Looking forward to the changing leaves. Anyway, Thank you for another great video!
This is an awesome comment. Thank you for watching.
Thanks again Kenny for sharing
Absolutely my favorite channel on CZcams! I look forward to every video!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the compliment.
One of the most Beautiful camps yet , even If you did lose a fish .
I've been in that spot love the foot hills it's been a minute
It was an unexpected surprise for me. I'm going to have to check out that area more. I normally stick around Spider Lake and Bull Moose trail. It was fun to explore a little more of the forest.
@@KennyOfAllTrades I don’t know if you have been over to Nemadji state forest there’s some great Boondocking spots and it a beautiful area
@mp89745 I have to check that forest out. I've spent time in the Saint Croix State Forest. And I stayed at Pickle Lake in the past. But I've never really explored Nemadji State Forest. I'll have to head over there. Thanks for the heads up.
What an incredible spot to camp! The flies and beetles are terrible this time of year. Another awesome video! Thanks
Oh man, you’re killing me those fish just don’t wanna go in that air fryer or over that fire. That’s what it is you might have to start visiting the fish market man so funny love it.
Thanks! I told Mandy I was gonna buy a Filet-o-fish from mcdonald's, put it in a zip-loc bag, and reel that in. I could eat fish right on shore!
I've tried a few different kinds of RV, but I've always gone back to the truck camper. Just so much easier and versatile.
I have to agree. I've owned a few pull-behinds, pop-ups and tents. My favorite way to travel and camp is in the truck camper.
Yes i love this too great sharing
Glad you enjoyed
Great video. Excellent camping spot; great job finding it. Good advice on the ammo in the fire,and not just for camping. I once found some .22LR rounds just under the surface dirt of a golf course tee box. Some idiot thought that was a cute joke, and I was lucky I saw them before swinging a club there. Keep up the good work with the videos.
What the heck is wrong with people. Rounds on a tee box is insane. Just when you think you've heard it all.....just craziness.
Hey, Kenny, another great video as usual! That is certainly a great spot, so lovely with all the fall colors beginning to show. We got our new-to-us AF1140, but it's in for some modifications, should have it back by the end of the month and we're so looking forward to getting it loaded and doing our first outing! I see this time it was Lady Bugs, and yes, they can be problematic for sure. I guess it'll take the snow to enjoy bug-free camping. You capture such good drone footage, glad you were able to get another one and I could almost smell that chicken cooking! One thing is certain, you always leave your camp site in better condition when you leave. Hope to see ya next week, have a great week!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy the camper! If you find an epic spot, you will have to send pictures of the rig.
Ahhhhhhhh nature so sweet 🦋
Lovely spot! I’m going have to look into that air fryer…😋 Cheers!
Nice video beautiful scenery
Good to see drone footage again. Glad you got a new one. That really is handy for checking out possible sites and to scout out the road ahead. I thought we would see you actually catch a fish for a moment there, lol. It will happen one day. Excellent episode.
Thanks
I so love fall!
Kenny you are an inspiration ! Love what you do.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Oooooooooooh I’ve been waiting patiently / impatiently sir. Thank u for completing my day sir. I truly cherish these videos 😊
That's such an awesome compliment. Thanks!
Kenny, sorry I am late on the comments. I've been busy getting ready for hunting. That is a beautiful campsite. I've watched your video three times so relaxing. You do a great job. Would love to see Minnesota sometime.
Thanks I appreciate that
Awesome video! Great job capturing all that beautiful color! Definitely going to try making that campfire cherry pie!
It was delicious. I picked up the pie irons at Walmart. They sell single and doubles. That way, you can make an apple and cherry pie at the same time. Brilliant!!
You found an excellent spot! And another great video. I love fall camping (when it’s a little cooler and less bugs). Going camping this weekend with my wife and the dogs. Meeting up with friends at a state park in MI. Should be a good weekend for some colors. Take care, safe travels.
Thanks Wade. I hope you have a beautiful weekend. Michigan is another great state for leaf peeping. Have fun!
Thanks Kenny, awesome as always!!
I definitely see why you go camping. Every time. You've been to some beautiful spots. And most are free.
I'm glad you recognize that. There are a number of places that only cost the fuel to get there. Having public land is awesome. I hope we can keep it open.
