Camping Weekend Doomed from the Beginning.

Ойын-сауық

This weekend I struggled to find a dispersed campsite in Northern Minnesota. Over the past few years I have collected a list of remote campsites up here. It is not uncommon to find one or two campsites occupied on a Friday night, but this is the first time I was unable to find a spot altogether. Around midnight I left the Chippawa National Forest feeling defeated. I stayed overnight at the Hibbing Walmart; it was convenient and quiet.
The following morning, I decided to try my luck in the Superior National Forest. I had pinned Big Rice Rustic Campgrounds to my phone years ago. I had never stayed there before. The reviews for the site were not that good. People had commented that it was not kept up well and the sites were not level. I was not put off by the reviews because I don't generally stay at places that are maintained with level parking pads. I was also hoping that the reviews would keep people away.
I arrived at the rustic campground Saturday morning, and to my delight, I found the campsite was empty. The reviews for the site were correct, however the unkept appearance reminded me of my usual campsites, I felt right at home. I was super happy to have finally made it to this place and be the only one around.
From there, the weekend was full of incidents that left me wondering, was there a bad aura around this place, or was it a bad weekend for me.
I appreciate you following along on my weekend adventures.

    I live in SE TN. I don't think anyone who knows me would believe I'm watching camping videos because I had my fill of camping when I was growing up in S FL. But these are so peaceful, and Kenny remains so calm and reassuring. And the nature shots are just gorgeous. Thoroughly enjoy every one, although his nights alone, alone just "out there" somewhere make me a little nervous for him. I remind myself, if I'm watching it, he's okay, ha!

    Once again great video, I can attest that there is nothing wrong with those woods - my hunting camp is just a couple miles from that shooting range - the place that was mowed on the left with the parking space and trail on the right - we're about 1 1/4 miles back from the logging mess. Spend almost every weekend out there in the summer - and no bigfoot yet. There are moose out there - we've had 2 bulls on the cameras again this year, and have seen 2 cows last year. The bull came by my stand last deer season - got my attention, huge animals. You might get a northern out of Big Rice, but you're better off riding the bike down to Pfieffer lake - bass, perch, sunnies and I've heard walleye, but I haven't fished it for a long time, so no guarantees. Thanks for all the entertainment, keep them coming.

    Although there's no markers, just a few miles back at the railroad crossing next to the gravel pit you were looking at staying, is where, in 1934 Bobbi the Father of the Finnish deer herd was caught - him and 6 other fawns were shipped back to Finland to help repopulate their herd which now numbers 21,000 - some interesting history to google. We've often said we should contact Finland to see if they could return the favor. Parts of the foundation of the Neimi homestead can still be seen along the river there. And a few miles from there lived Otto Walta the Finnish superman - lots of interesting stories and folklore about him to to read on google - kind of the areas Paul Bunyan. So what may seems as just a long dirt road can sometimes hold a bit of forgotten history. Hope that helps to break some of the bad aura feelings from the weekend.

Our boss said “let’s have a walk in the forest” so he and four of us went along - after about 2 hours - the weirdest thing happened - he said “ok guys, let’s go back and I’ll buy you all lunch” - now that was WEIRD.

    A little extra for all the fuel used! Kenny, you were hard on yourself this video! Lucky to have survived it LOL. Your slide corner looked like a crime scene. Darn head cuts bleed like crazy. The boat with the sickle bar mower on the front was awesome! Kenny, I have had so many weird experiences....not in the woods though. When I first started at the S/O, I was a C/O. I worked the 23:00-0700 shift. At the time we were rated as the most secure County Jail in the State. One night I was sitting at the desk in the kitchen finishing a report and I literally had a loaf of bread fly off the rack at me ten feet away. Another night I walked past the employee restroom in the housing access hallway and the water turned on in the sink.....knob turned...no one around. Same as when I was cleaning the walk in front of the pods and I heard a door slam....my coworker was in a entirely different part of the building. About thirty years ago we were house hunting and went to a house for sale next to my bosses rental house, I walked five feet in the house and got totally creeped out and couldn't go any further, couldn't get out quick enough. My boss had previously worked for a auctioneer cleaning out houses for auction. When I told her about it the next day she said she helped clean out the house for a estate. The owner committed suicide with a shotgun in the kitchen. When they pulled out the stove you can imagine what they found behind it. I have the strange ability to "witch" I can find water lines, buried electrical lines. I have helped a local Genealogist plot old cemeteries with unmarked graves. I can tell whether it's a male or female buried by the rotation of my copper wire. My Detective at work called B.S. to it until we went to a local cemetery........she changed her mind. So many things can't be explained......that's what makes life so interesting! Hope you are all healed up and ready for your next adventure......don't forget the Band Aids and Triple Antibiotic Creme!

He was good at underground water. I have tried to have my three boys try it. One that tried couldn't, the other two are too freaked out about it to try LOL! After my Dad passed, about a month later I had a dream of being with Dad. It got me past the grieving stage. When my Mom commented to my wife how much happier I was she told Mom about what went on in my dream.....Mom was shocked......it was the very same dream my Dad had about a month after his Dad passed, to the exact detail. I was six when Grandad passed so Dad would have never told me about it. Once when the kids were little we took them to the K.of C. picnic. The food area was under a large circus type tent. It looked like a rain was coming up and I had a "feeling" and told Caryl we needed to leave NOW!!! About twenty minutes after we left, a storm collapsed the tent. Several people injured. Another time at a restaurant we were sitting in our booth and all of a sudden I told Caryl to move.....sure enough a waitress with a full tray came from behind me and dropped the whole tray in front of us.....I saw it ten seconds before it happened. I can tell time within two minutes.....freaks Caryl out a bit.....but it's handy! I come from people of the land, farmers and woodsmen since they got here in 1736. I really think people of the land might be more sensitive. The old timers from Appalachia, Native Americans are good examples. I think there is so much electromagnetism and life force in us that it doesn't always end at death. I also wonder for whatever reason maybe some people have more attractive electromagnetism to repulsive electromagnetism. I don't know Kenny, I try not to overthink anything anymore LOL!!!

I've held people's hands, looked them in their eyes, and told them everything was going to be ok during their last moments. It can be a very peaceful experience. I've also witnessed the opposite. I could see the total fear on their faces as they slipped away. I also had the opportunity to deliver a baby girl on the floor of their living room. Well... Mom did all the work. I was just playing catcher and giving emotional support. Dispatch said the ambulance was 20 minutes out, and mom was crowning. I knew it was show time. Seeing the full circle of life is amazing and makes me think there's more to it than we know.

My horse would pick up the scent of anything threatening long before my dogs, I would shush my dogs so I could spot what was coming/man or beast ...I've come across thousands of dead carcasses/piles of bones and reported each one, not one bigfoot lol... There are probably 5 million trail cameras out there between American and Canadian hunters and not one of an identifiable bigfoot....My Father always told me confront your fears, words I live by except when in Africa lol...Thanks for the video and ouch on the head, good thing you're not on blood thinners...

I spend 6 months in the Keys in a truck camper and when I get back home back up here there is so much to do catching up around the house with projects and normal maintenance . My ultimate goal is to either sell the house or rent it out year round and travel the months I am not down in the Keys. Your videos are great though and do enjoy taking a break from painting or rebuilding turf to watch them. Those bugs - skeeters and deer/horse flies I could do without though lol.

    New subscriber here. What a really nice campsite and all to yourself! You were talking about Bigfoot. I haven't seen one either but I kinda hope they're out there. I do have a story though. In the summer of 2021 we said to heck with covid and went on a month long road trip to 14 different states visiting Mt Rushmore, Devil's Tower, Yellowstone, Olympic National Forest. While we were in Oregon on the 101 we had trouble finding a campground that wasn't full so we decided to just camp overnight at a trailhead that wound up a densely forested mountain. There was a couple in a red pickup with a camper shell with the same idea so I felt safe. The next morning the red truck was gone but we decided even though it was so secluded we would stay for another night so we didn't pack up and leave. My husband decided to take his drone out and take some pictures of the surrounding forest. Later that night as we were about to go to sleep we decided to look at the photos on his phone he'd taken with the drone . They were just random pics of the forest trees and such. However one of the pictures kinda looked a little different. I didn't notice it but something caught my husband's eye and he enlarged the picture and to our surprise up in a tree on a limb was this creepy wolf like creature staring directly into the drone! We don't know what that thing was but I fully expected it to jump on our van in the middle of the night! I made sure all the windows were up and doors locked! Nothing happened but we were so creeped out we left early the next morning. Every once in a while we look at that photo and try to come up with some kind of explanation but there isn't one. My husband just had a wreck on his EBike fourth of July. It was bad. He fractured two bones in his face, broke his collarbone and 4 ribs. I've never seen someone with more bruising. He's practically head to toe in bruises, cuts and broken bones! We go tomorrow to the orthopedic doctor to see if they will be putting screws in his collarbone. As much fun as they are to ride they can be dangerous. I'm glad you didn't sustain worse injuries from your wreck! Sorry this is so long! Thanks for the nice videos. I think your channel will grow!

    Wow. Oh my gosh, that sounds bad! I hope he heals up ok. I caught a sand patch while flying the drone and riding at the same time. I went head over the handlebars but was able to roll out of it. I'm thankful it wasn't bad. Tell your husband I hope he starts feeling better so he can get back on the bike. Sounds like he has a long road in of healing ahead. That was an awesome story! I love finding unexplainable things. It's so cool that you had the drone at the right place and time. That country is so big over there. Like you, I'm a bit of a skeptic. But I believe there are creatures in existence that we are unaware of.

    Hey Kenny! Love the videos! My family has a cabin in East Texas on 100acres. It’s on a creek that changed paths and now is slowly growing up. This property has been in my family for 100 years. I grew up out in those woods. I can tell you so many crazy stories, but the craziest and creepiest was one when I was about 15 or so. We had a big New Year’s Eve party down there, we had the family and we were stuffed full in that cabin! On the night before New Year’s Eve we had a giant bonfire, this fire was about 6 feet tall and we were burning out old brush too. It was heavily controlled. Well, there’s about 10 of us outside and we’re just sitting there watching the fire die down, we hear screaming that sounded like a man and a hunting dogs bark. We had music on at first so we thought it was just the sounds of us talking and laughing. My brother in law had turned the music off and we heard it again. There was clearly a man yelling for help and that he was lost followed by a dog barking that was definitely with him. We kept listening and we noticed,….the tone and barking never changed in urgency or frequency. We started calling out to the man and we’d listen. Again we heard “Help me! Help! Help me! I’m lost!”we tried to ask where he was, but we got nothing. It was decided that Half of the men folk grabbed their rifles, flashlights and Lanterns, and rope and other tools needed in case they needed to rescue this poor man and his dog. The other half, my half, would start building the fire back up again, we grabbed extra lights, and rifles just in case. We were ready in case we needed to act fast. We said goodbye and heard the men folk out in the woods calling out and we still heard that man and his dog, except over time it got softer until it finally got quiet. When my dad, my brother in law, my uncles got back, their account was, “not once did we hear him as clearly as we did at the cabin, we saw no lights, heard no dogs, and we eventually heard no man.” I’m 40 years old now and I still have never forgotten nor have I ever heard that distress call again. It was blood chilling. We called and reported it to the local police station in town. No one was ever reported missing in that area. I don’t believe in ghost stuff too much, but I think that night, in those deep east Texas woods, in the devil’s pocket as it’s known, I heard ghosts that night. ❤️

If I ever get a chance to go full-time with KZread, I told Larry I'd visit him. He has been busy with a special project for his channel. It's super top secret! Him and Mason are doing really well 👍

    Kenny you have over 400 comments! That says loads, #holybuckets. Thank you for another amazing video of you turning what most of us would bitch and complain about into positive experiences. So much work on your end blesses us with 25 minutes of vicarious primitive camping joy. What animal was in that pond???

    Thank you so much! I try to respond to all of them. Reading the comments help keep me motivated. I think that was either a muskrat or beaver. It was gone so fast and I could only see the top of the head. It would have been cool to see the body, then Id know for sure.

    Great video Kenny...I used to work in St. Louis County awhile back and got sent out in the sticks after staying up late watching a Big Foot documentary about the area. Needless to say, the bear tracks I saw 2 miles out in the boonies didn't seem that scary 😂.

    There are so many stories of Bigfoot in St. Louis County. That's for commenting.

    Kenny, your channel has become one of my favorites. I look forward to your weekly adventures. When I retire I hope to spend much of my time as you do on your weekend travels. Here in western PA, we have our share of Big Foot legends - UFO’s too. Thanks for sharing.

    Another great video Kenny! Three times now I have walked into my TC slide. Never drew blood but many bumps. Last one I fell back on my butt. Pool noodles help.

    I think I'll be picking one up. I know a bright colored one would help for viewing... but I'm gonna try to find a white one.

    Thanks Kenny, your channel is great! I love to watch them, they help me relax and I sincerely mean that in a good way. Gives me time to escape, and unwind from whatever craziness of the day.

    That's awesome to hear. I watch a lot of KZread. And sometimes I wish I had a more up-beat personality like the channels I watch.......but if I changed who I am for the videos, it wouldn't be fun anymore. I'm glad people also like watching a chill camping video.

    That's why I put the pool noodles on my sharp edges and awning arms. Cut a slice down one side and slide them in

    Tuesdays are my favorite day now. Love seeing a new video from you every week. That place did take it's price in blood from you but looked beautiful. Keep up the good work! These places are going to camp themselves! A bad day camping is better than a good day at work!
