Epic TRUCK CAMPER Boondocking
This week I headed out to the Chippewa National Forest in North Central Minnesota. It was an awesome time minus a few mishaps that led to broken equipment. I was able to fix a few issues in the camper, not everything though, I still need to work on the Onan Generator and toilet. I found multiple camping spots in the forest. I didn't see many people at all. This forest is turning into one of my favorites. There seems to be camping spots around every bend. I tried to catch some fish, but my reel broke, I tried to get some sunset drone footage, but my drone broke. Other than that, this trip was a success. I still had fun even after breaking stuff, I hope you had fun following me along. As always, well see you next week!

Thanks Scott, I'm thankful Minnesota has so many opportunities for free camping. I wish I could travel further from home but haven't been able to do any long road trips the last year. I wonder how many of these camping videos i can put out before I run out of spots... I've been thinking that for the last 6 months. But every Friday I seem to find more spots.
Good videos, Kenny, no cursing or swearing. We, like you, prefer to camp away from the crowd. Here's a tale that will warm your heart. A few years ago my wife and I were traveling In Wyoming just north of Rock Springs Wy. I pulled off on a BLM road to camp for the night. After having a bite to eat we set up our camp chairs to enjoy the beautiful evening. Off in the distance we saw head lights coming across the desert. I was sure they would turn off on many of the access roads but nope they drove right up and parked on the road right in front of our camp. It was a school bus full of middle school kids who came with their telescopes to view the stars and moon. They were so friendly and happy and invited us to join them. We felt blessed to have them there and missed them when they left. Hope to see you down the road but will stay our distance to camp.

The spot is a million dollar view....You can't drive a Class A there, a Class C wouldn't make either....you could setup a tent and sleep on the ground. You could stay in a van with tight quarters.....or you could have a 4 Star Hotel room in the bed of your 4x4 truck. That's how I feel about it.

I love camping in the Chippewa. I used to do a lot of bike packing there. I was up there about month ago tenting. Looks like your were in the vicinity of the Woodtick Trail as I recognized that campsite with the stairs. There are quite a few new pullouts up that road now. But the campsite you found was sweet. Too bad the fishing pole and drone were not working. Your setup really allows you to extend the camping season yet be comfortable. I have really enjoyed your content and look forward to camping on Tuesdays.

You are right, the first few spots were on a road off of the Woodtick trail. That was my first time on that road. I tried driving it last winter but it wasn't plowed, and the snow was to deep. Initially I was gonna check out sixmile lake campground. It looks like it may have been a National Forest Campground at one point, but it is no longer maintained by the Forestery Department. It looks like there are nice camping sites on the lake. I'm glad I found that other sight. I still haven't looked for the name of the lake, I got to drop a pin on the phone yet. It was in that same part of the Forest as the others. Maybe 4 or 5 miles away from the site with the stairs.

I drove around New Hampshire last weekend and drove up to a pond on a rough back road thinking about how nice it would be to bring the camper up and spend the night by the water like Kenny does and I finally reached the turn for the pond and was greeted with a sign stating that there is no camping there. Oh well, I will go back in the spring with the Kayak as it looked to be a nice pond to fish. I did find a road with free camping and there was a couple good sites but nothing by water. I hope to find some comparable sites one of these days. Have a great week and keep the videos coming.

They never back up and rarely move over or slow down.....atv will hop in the woods...and which ever vehicle has more recently pasted a pull off will back up. Normally when I meet someone on trails like that we both come to a stop....then who ever feels they can backup moves first.

Keep a spare reel in the fishing bag.. break your line, or God forbid your reel, and the spare will save you! I carry way too much fishing gear, but my trailer has a large storage area, so... Ed I use DirecTV at home, and I carry a spare (old model) digital receiver and an old dish on a tripod with me. It will work anywhere you can find an open view of the southern sky. DirecTV also has a service on internet, but the dish will literally work ANYWHERE.

Thanks for commenting Joe. So the series I started was called Jack Ryan, it's on Amazon Prime. It's based off the Tom Clancy books. I use the DJI Drones. I busted the Mini 2. It was my spare.

That's my biggest expense. I spend anywhere between 1200 to 1500 a month on fuel. That's the biggest downfall about making a camping channel where I scout out new locations every weekend. I usually spend 4 to 5 hours driving around before I find the spot. I got lucky this week. It was the first spot I checked. Some weeks I'll search through 4 or 5 sites before finding the right one. Seeing how I make these videos on the weekends, I'm looking for a dispersed site just like everyone else. I wish I had Tuesdays and Wednesdays off work, not Saturdays and Sundays. Lol

I love the 3500. I did have the camper installed in a 08 Silverado 2500. It handled the camper fine. I drove it out west a few times. The 6.0 handled the mountains ok. Back in 2018 I was at the GM dealership and I saw the 3500. They were asking 28k for it with only 99,000 miles. I couldn't turn it down. That's the only reason I'm in this truck now. It was to good of a deal to walk away from. I absolutely love the LML. I'm coming up on 180k miles now with no major problems.

Hi Kenny, I’ve been tent camping for 40 plus years and I’m looking to upgrade to a truck camper. Do you any advice for someone looking for a truck camper?
@KennyOfAllTrades
Жыл бұрын
These are my thoughts. I would start by looking for a camper that your truck can comfortably handle. I've had many truck campers over the years. I've done my far share of white knuckle driving because the camper was too heavy for the truck. It's not a fun experience. Next, don't be afraid of older campers as long as it's not rotten. Some people take real good care of their campers. My Arctic Fox is 20 years old, and I'm inspecting it constantly. Keep in mind that all campers leak. It's not a huge issue as long as it was dealt with quickly. If the seller says the camper has never seen water damage, just know there is no such thing as a used truck camper in mint condition. Spend time inspecting the overhead cab, the tie-down points, under windows, and the top and bottom of the exterior walls. If you see some water stains, it's not the end of the world, as long as it has been properly sealed. If you can stick your finger through the paneling, you should pass on that one. Some of my favorite memories are from my small, clapped out, used and abused Mountain Star. It wasn't the memory of the camper itself. The memory is waking in the camper, looking out the window to see some of the most beautiful Vista overlooks in America. I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask any other questions.
