How To Find Free Camping - Peace and Quiet in a Forest
In this week's video I spent 7 hours Saturday morning searching the forests of north central Minnesota for a perfect campsite. In the end I had to reminded myself that the perfect site isn't always perfect.
This weekend I found myself on top of a hill overlooking an old logging cut. I didn't have a lake, a river, or a trail nearby. But I found peace and quiet.
When I finally opened my eyes, I saw the beauty that mother nature provides this time of year. I needed a reminder of how I used to camp before the channel. This brought me back to a time before I was searching for the perfect backdrop for the camera lens.
I really appreciate you coming along for the ride.

I see you use a rearview camera over your rearview mirror. How does it work as a full time rearview mirror. What unit did you get and would you recommend it.

It straps over the factory mirror and works great. I was running the Promido camera off Amazon for almost 5 years. The camera connection eventually let in water. I recently decided to install the cheapest one I could find on Amazon. The 49 dollar Jansite. I've only had it a few weeks. So far, so good. I showed the camera and a quick snippet of the installation about 3 weeks ago in a video. I'll give you the link to that video. When the camper comes off, I turn the camera off. It has a mirror finish, so it works like a factory mirror. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqF7qMhrlcu2ps4.htmlsi=eyPvqyvmo96tSPci

@@KennyOfAllTrades Yes, it's begun. Termination dust is hitting the mountains around Anchorage (4000") Temps are about42 to 52. Once the snow hits the top of the mountains and stays, usually 30 days out for snow in the low land.
Beautiful view. Thanks for the videos.
Such a beautiful spot!
I agree with "this is where it's at." Great campsite. Thanks!
nice ! thanks for the info 👻

Hey Kenny, thanks for taking us along for another adventure. We have camped in spots like that. We love finding spots off old logging roads. Once you get in there you usually won't see anyone. Thanks for taking us along, looking forward to the next adventure.
Dang amigo the ribs look awesome….

I bet you're looking forward to spending time in the new camper! I have wanted a Northern Lite for the last 10 years. Back then, I couldn't afford to spend 13 grand on a 10 year old camper. Today, that same camper would sell for 22k. If I could only have predicted the future! But I still want one! I hope to get another 5 years out of my Arctic Fox. After that, I'd love to look at a Northern Lite.
Nowadays I just tend to pick a general area and wing it. Up in the California Sierras there are so many trees that you can't hardly even follow the main forest roads, let alone identify campsites on Google Earth. I have just lucked out over the years and found some amazing places. (And it is usually all National Forest, I have camped on Tribal land on several occasions in small, first come, first served campgrounds - actually some of the nicest campgrounds that I have ever camped in).
Enjoyed again Kenny
Ain't Nature Grand! Beautiful footage, especially the Ribs. Loved the Overlook. Don't think I could keep up with you on the bike, Lol. Can't wait until next week and Thanks for taking us along.👍
Just this week I was discussing with my husband about the best ways to find dispersed camping spots. Thank you for coving it this week

Beautiful overlook that will be very colorful in a couple weeks! Great peaceful video! Thanks! Oh yea, I was in Minneapolis and Rochester last week. Had breakfast at Little Oscars!
Thanks for another great video, Kenny! Always look forward to Tuesday evening! Great drone shots of the beginning of the leaves turning. Fall camping is the best!
Looks like a baby Bigfoot tipi habitation. Just keep on the lookout for upside down tree trunks slammed into the ground - with the roots high and dry in the air. Bigfoot totem poles !

My upcoming six day trip will be at a National Forest campground. The Los Padres National Forest is still closed due to storm damage from last winter. No Disbursed camping allowed. $3000 fine per person. HWY 1 is still closed due to a huge landslide to the north, so the campground is basically the end of the road.

Hello from the very quiet sunny Ozarks Kenny! Another video of value! Hope your well and enjoying your day! Enjoyed spending time with you. Looking forward to many more enjoyable adventures. Tight lines and bent poles!
That “shelter” you found is a bear bait station. Judging from the poor condition of the logs I believe that it has been there since before they logged it off. Cool spot. You can find some gems on Google map. …and nice hat. I work for Case.

Hi Kenny. Thanks for the information. I'm looking at getting OnX Elite. I'll be traveling all over so to me, it's worth the price. Beautiful drone footage. Fall is my favorite season. Here in my part of VA the leaves peak around mid-October, just in time for my birthday. I try to get up on the Blue Ridge Parkway each year to see the foilage. It's spectacular!

I have only seen that part of the country on TV. It looks amazing in the fall. I bet it is beyond words in person. I had onX Elite for 2 yeas. That is when I had more time to get into Wisconsin and Michigan. It is an awesome tool to have. Now that I'm always limited to time, I only subscribe to Minnesota. I'm looking forward to the day when I can have the Elite package.
Burnt end sandwich? Have to try. Boy summer flew by. Here in Florida, never ends.
It is amazing just how peaceful and fulfilling it is to simply camp as you are doing, travel around in an RV. Doesn't need to be anything more than you are filming. I want a german sheperd for my travel companion, but I intend to do the same thing. Just buy a used RV or camper like that, and hit the road. I have never seen much of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, and so I am looking forward to it. Don't plan on many miles a day, and I know I will enjoy beer and fire made food at dinnertime.
