Hiking Date Turns into Romantic Picnic In the Woods.
Ойын-сауық
Join Kenny of All Trades on a North Shore adventure with Mandi, exploring the woods and cooking a delicious fireside meal. Theres no truck camping this weekend, but we experience the beauty of nature and tasty campfire cooking with us!
Mandi and I had an excellent weekend in Grand Marais. I wanted to get out a tour video on the camper, but life got in the way. We headed out early Sunday morning. For some reason, I decided to throw the Gopro in the truck with the computer and drone. Sunday night, I was feeling bad thinking about how there was not going to be a video. We were watching Naked and Afraid on cable, neither Mandi nor I have regular TV at home, so it was cool to see regular TV shows. It got me thinking.....I asked Mandi if she would like to have lunch somewhere in the Superior National Forest, and she was game! Monday morning, we hit the thrift store in Grand Marais and picked up some bare essentials to cook over the fire.
I stopped at a trail head 20 minutes into the forest, and we started walking. After a little over an hour of hiking, we came across this little campsite. I hope you enjoy the video and spending time with us this weekend.
I'll see you down the road!

Be aware!! I have been told some of my viewers are receiving emails from Kenny of All Trades, saying they won camping gear. Don't fall for the scams! I won't ever ask you to send me money to cover shipping costs of gifts. If I ever give anything away, it will be known in the videos, and I will never ask for money to cover the costs. Remember the Kenny of All Trades Facebook account, and Instagram account are also fake. Please, don't send anything to the address they have listed. I have tried to get them shut down...but it's almost impossible. Thank you so much for being part of the channel.

Kenny. Thank you for your most recent video. Also thank Mandy for being willing to show up in the video. We totally understand her not wanting to be on KZread, so what a privilege. Thanks for continuing to share your time in the woods with us. Just wanted to say a special thanks for sharing Mandy this week and one of your daughters last week. Keep up the great videos. My wife and I love them. PS…..Toby is really cute. He was a great choice in dog. All the best…..John M.

Congratulation Mandi on 16 years
Just beautiful. So gentle like both of you. Loving the simple pleasures of Nature and each other. ☮️💜
Congratulations Mandi! Nice to see you! Thanks for letting us tag along! Have a nice time at the hotel and we'll see you next Tuesday Kenny! (And toby) Cheers!
We got to see lots of Mandi!! Looks like an awesome hike and meal thank you both for sharing and I hope you enjoyed your vacation together! Congrats Mandi on 16 years!! I’m a retired healthcare worker of 23 years…rewarding but exhausting❤
Mandy's a keeper I can't count the number of guys I used to wilderness canoe trip with who once they were married momma bear in no uncertain terms laid down the law no wilderness camping stuff. They wanted posh rooms, showers, hot tubs and no canoeing for days in the bush with bugs and tents. I, too, was lucky my wife loved that stuff. My kids as babies grew up in the bottom of our canoe, and we even had special paddles carved for their size. Good on both of you.
Congratulations Mandi. Thanks for letting us into your vacation. What a lovely place to hike.
So great to see Mandi out with you. What a wonderful “date” lunch while on vacation. Enjoy your time. Can’t wait for your next episode.
Kenny, thank you for making some time for us! Tell Mandi thank you also Love to both of you ❤❤

Mandi’s a trooper for letting u film on your mini vacation. Looks like a nice relaxing day in the woods.
I thought something was wrong with me because I never could stand the taste of beer! You're one of my heroes!!!
Mandi, congratulations on the recognition of sixteen years in healthcare! Thank you for your service in a ever changing, challenging profession. My Mom was a RN in a hospital for thirty years. The last ten was as a Charge Nurse. My wife Caryl retired last year after her thirty years in Medical Insurance Precertification for a large Medical Group. Wow, what a view to wake up to from your hotel room! Then that trail, the waterfalls were some of the prettiest I have seen. Hope the rest of your vacation go's as awesome as this day did for you!

Mandi congratulations. On your 16 yrs in Healthcare, thanks for the video. Take care.
Congratulations Mandi! You two are so great together! Thanks for an adventure in the woods instead of a truck camper tour!!

I agree on the taste of beer. Every 5 or 10 years, I will have a sip just in case I changed my mind, but nope. lol.
I just stumbled across your channel and had to leave a comment. I built and raised my kids in the log home on the top of the ridge a mile before you got to the Cascade River bridge. I know every inch of the area you were in. Thanks for taking me down memory lane ❤

What a great idea and a fun way to spend the day! That box on the tree with the book to sign is a great idea! Beautiful hike in those woods! Thanks for bringing us along!
Thank you for sharing your trip with Mandy. what a nice day spent with your daughter. loved the brats idea! (w/o the beans) 😂
I love that Mandi allowed herself to be in this weeks' video! I can tell she is very hesitant to be on camera, but it gets easier. I had never thought to just grab some simple cooking provisions and head off into the woods for a day hike and do this. This is a great idea, and has sparked some ideas on where this would be really fun to go do. I love the North Shore, there isn't beauty like it anywhere else in the midwest for sure. Thanks Kenny!
Kenny please tell Mandi, thank you for letting us tag along on your hike.
This was really neat.Thanks for taking us along!
What a great idea! You can enjoy the woods while staying in a fancy hotel - best of both worlds! Glad you got some time away together.
I love the Minnesota/Wisconsin accent. Being from “The South” (KY) and people say we have an accent is funny. We put accent on the first syllable of Hammock and you put it on the 2nd syllable. Great video! Thanks for sharing your hike and vacation! And if Mandi reads this, Thanks for sharing Kenny!

1) brats over a wood fire are AWESOME! 2) Mandy is a tolerant woman. 3) you could take a week off. 😂 4) I want to hike that trail now.
Thank you for bringing us on your picnic this week. Mandi, thank you for letting Kenny film a little bit of your adventure for us. Kenny, I completely understand your dislike for beer. I haven’t found a beer yet that I can finish and enjoy. I am a fan of hard ciders however.
Wow This is GREAT MANDI AND KENNY I LOVE IT THANK YOU😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Looks like a great day!
I'm always waiting for Tuesday, my favorite KZread channel. I've only been watching for a couple of months. I got a lot of catching up to do. I've been watching all your old videos. I can't wait for next week. Stay safe and God bless you and your family. See you next Tuesday.

I had wondered if you unloaded your camper week days. We seldom unload when we are on a trip, but a truck camper is the ultimate solution!
My wife and daughter and I always head to the north shore every year for a week - lake superior is certainly something special
Kenny and Mandi the Hotel room is Awesome Gorgeous Beautiful Amazing place to stay 😊
Hello Mandi ! Great to see you in a video with Kenny. Congrats on your seniority milestone, my hat is off to health care workers.
16 years in that profession, big wow and Thanks! Well deserved weekend off. Thanks for taking us along for the hike. Might have to put Alaska on that list for some R&R. Just saying.

My family and I want to say thank you so much for all of the hard work and effort you put into your videos each week. We really enjoyed watching your hike and campfire cooking. This past weekend we were boondocking in our truck camper, and I realized just how much work it would be to film that and create a video each week. Wow! So thank you again because we have been watching for a long time, and have an extra appreciation for your content.

Hey Kenny. I was surprised to see you. I went on youtube to check the news and there you were. And we got to see both you and your lady. I had to smile when Mandy was laughing. There is no better feeling when you can make your Lady laugh. I really liked the high mountain tops you videoed. That country really reminds me of Penna. I really enjoyed the time you both allowed us to spend with you and the beautiful woods. Now, being old,you have to expect the old guy to reminisce. In 1980 my wife and two kids and my dear brother and his wife and three kids moved, for the first time to Montana.. Twin Bridges, Montana, to be exact. Our Dad's best friend from Penna had moved there years ago and bought a restuarant, and his other friend, a very good carpenter, had moved there years earlier too. They all played guitars and played in country bands in the 40's and 50's back in Penna.My brother Dave and I were almost to the top of Old Baldy, a mountain right out of town, hunting elk. And, it was cold, at least for two young guys from Penna. It was about 15 below. We had never seen it more than 9 below in Penna, once in our lives, and that was cold. We were hiking up a trail and came across two guys also hunting elk. We stopped to talk and when we mentioned how cold we were, they just started laughing..We grinned and said, "What?" They said, "Cold?" Hell, we are from Minnesota, where it gets cold for real." I still remember what they said and how they both looked after all these years. They told us how cold it gets there, but that it was a damp cold, like Penna. I decided then that Minnesota wasn't anyplace I was ever going to live, lol. Tell Mandy our daughter has been a phlebotomist for over 20 years and our granddaughter recently graduated from the Univ of Montana and works as a nurse. Take care you two and be well and be happy.. Norm..

Have you ever cooked your brats in "sauce"? A stick of butter, 12 oz of beer, and a medium onion (sliced). Boil 'em until cooked, grill them for a little char, and then back in the sauce until you're ready to eat. Those beer-butter-onions on the bun with the brat are pretty amazing.

Such a lovely adventure you and Mandi enjoyed together. Thank you for giving us a peek. I love Grand Marais and The Superior National Forest and The Gunflint Trail! We are so blessed to have these amazing places in our state to enjoy. Last Fall my husband and I were on an adventure up there and were about 20 minutes into our drive on the Gun Flint when I spied a mama moose and her baby wading in a pond enjoying a snack. What an absolute thrill that was!

We have never seen a moose in Minnesota. We usually visit in November and drive the forest trails off the Gun Flint in hopes of catching a glance. It's so cool that you saw one.
Those brats sound amazing! Will have to look for these when I'm over in Michigan again this summer. As you will know from your visit to Germany, they do brats here too but I wish we had flavours like that. Thank you Kenny and Mandi for bringing us along.
Kenny and Mandi God bless to you both from Norway🇺🇸🇳🇴
