Stunning Minnesota Hidden Campsite Found
This week Mandi and I headed up to Itasca County. I was looking on the county's website and found that they provide dispersed campsites and many of their public water accesses. We decided to take off Friday and leave Thursday night to get on jump on the weekend. Boy did we ever find some great spots! This was one of the most beautiful, relaxing, and peaceful weekends i have had searching for someplace to boondock. This will be a two-part video. I will finish up the weekend on next week's video. I really appreciate you coming along for this little adventure.

Many times while watching you tube videos we begin to get a bad feel or vibe if you will. At those times we simply click on a Kenny video and it brings us back down to earth, calms us down and we feel grounded again. So I just want to say, be kind, be honest and thank you. We'll see you on down the road

Kenny it appears that Mandi has the knack for catching the fish :) I kept smiling with this one. Way to go Mandi!! It was fun having you join in the fun.
The state of Minnesota needs to write you a check for all the good vibes about the state camping!
People who leave messes make me so angry. But you inspire me with kindness by picking it up. Thank you. 🇨🇦
Truck Camper Compadre Here Minnesota... The Land Of 10,000 Lakes Without Any Fish To Be Caught ! Just Don't Try To Convince Mandi Of That !! You Heard It From Her... I'm Beatin Him ! 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 Hang In There, She'll Save A Couple For Ya 🎣 I Enjoy The Fact That You're Able/Willing To Tackle The Narrow/Skinny Trails Inorder To Find/Land That Epic Campsite!! I'm The Same Way And I've Got The Pinstripes On My TC To Show That I Prefer The Back Roads As Well. Dinner Looked Delicious 😋 Glad To See Mandi With You On This One ! I Can See The Joy In You That Her Presence Brings 🤗 Another Great Episode ✌️

Just seeing this now, but I'm from MN and I travel in a tiny house promaster van. I bought a Tucktec Kayak for just these situations. It's really cheap and fits the size of a travel golf bag. thanks for showing mn in a great light.
Sometimes we try too hard to catch fish. Mandi’s got the touch though! Patience has its rewards in finding campsites and that is your gift, Kenny. The clarity of those lakes is really spectacular! Paper plates! You’re a man after my own heart! All that and some gorgeous stuffed peppers! Whoa! What a sunset to wrap up another great video. Thanks yet again. You guys be safe and have fun!

Hi Kenny and Mandi, you both remind me of when my Mom and Dad went fishing 🎣🎣🎣 but my Mom beat my Dad and he never took her again. When I got told about this story I said when I was about 10 years old when Dad had a day off I wanna go fishing with you Dad, and I got 22 tiddlers and he only caught 3, and I didn't go again he e never took me again which was ok, it just goes to show that the fish prefer ladies smell than men's, a friend said at the time perhaps the fish liked the smell of either our perfume or something that we was wearing scent wise to my Dad. My Dad when wasn't working always used to go fishing when not at work mostly the weekends. And won alot of matches, I have the memory of him looking so proud with all his fishing cups and trophies that I took as photo of, it's a pity I can't send you the photo. Thanks for sharing

Now it's back to our Mini Van with a mattress for the rest of fall. We are actually going to scout out these locations next weekend.

The camper is almost 20 years old but still getting me out on the weekends. It I a 2004 Arctic Fox M860. That line was discontinued in 2005. It was replaced with the 811 model. My truck is a 2015 Silverado 3500 HD. There are so many different opinions on trucks and campers. Here is mine...... Buy what you can afford. If you have the money to buy an F-450 or F-550, that's great! I don't think I would ever say, " I wish I had a lighter payload capacity." My thinking was I wanted a truck and camper that would allow me to explore forest roads and find dispersed camping without having to work overtime or a second job to pay for the setup. I like my one ton single rear wheel short bed setup. If money wasn't an issue I would look at the Ram dually short bed. I think they are the only one manufacturer of a short bed dually. And I'd go with the Arctic Fox 811 or Northern Lite 8-11. I think that would be an awesome setup for my kind of traveling.

It's actually worked out nice because 10 years later we are both still in love and enjoy our time together and miss each other when we are apart. Mandi will say she is better at fishing because she grew up on a river......I just let her think that!

I found an area up here that has a rare rock formations called ferry stones. It on the Mississippi River. I started editing the video that Sunday. I could see in the video I was tired and the whole thing felt forced. Monday night I deleted the whole thing. I wasn't happy with it. I'm still gonna go back there and share it with you guys. I was thinking of mailing out a few rocks to any viewers that want one.....there only found at 5 or 6 places world wide. Good news is Mandi and I had a great time exploring Paul Bunyan State Forest this last week. The new video will be out tomorrow at 5pm!
Mandy is using a Telltale ring Zebco, 202, maybe a 404. Lol , she has caught dinner!

That was a real nice surprise to come upon that spot. I find my far share of remote campsites here in Minnesota, that was one of my favorites.
Yay! Kenny caught a fish! lol Dang I wished I had known you were going there. I am nowhere from there. I would have loved to hook up with you.
Hay lake is full of crappies, fished it a few times and camped there. It is why I kept my canoe strapped to my van

Great Video Ken WOW what a spot that was. Was curious if you have tried any top water lures for bass? Jitter bug or something like that. I have had great success with them and they woukd make great video. Toss it right along the weed edge and slowly reel it in. They come flying out of the water lots of fun.

This summer I'm going to spend more time on the water. I will definitely be pulling in more fish this year. I tried this past weekend. I ran into a few issues......you will see the mistake I made in tonight's video.

Thanks. It was beautiful. One of the most peaceful and quiet sunsets I have seen in a while. I should have recorded the loons and used that audio in the background. Their calls are beautiful but haunting at the same time.
try pre-rigged night crawlers, three hooks on one. i've caught a ton of bass next to the weeds with them.
Wow is all I can say about that site Kenny! Now if you could only get your fishing talent to catch up with campsite locating talent then you’d have a perfect weekend! I saw ya sneak the camera shy Mandi, via your mirror, into the vid…good for you. Hope that doesn’t put ya in the doghouse once she see’s it lol She was nailing those sunnies that’s for sure. Buuuuuut as far as the small mouths go…hmmm…didn’t see any on tape…think she’s telling fishing tales on ya to get under your skin haha Anyways, as always, another great vid and weekend for ya (glad the skeeters left ya alone) and thanks again for sharing your adventures with us!!! Next weekend, yep, for sure, I feel it…your weekend to land one that makes a man a legend!!! 👍🏻

Thanks, hopefully Mandi gets more comfortable on camera over time and will make more appearances.
Mandi is going to have to have her own fishing channel! That was awesome!!! That has to be one of the top three spots I have seen you camp in......that was perfect! That was the perfect fishing spot....the fish are surely going from lake to lake in that narrow strip. QUESTION: Kenny what app do you use to find these dispersed sites? It's sure working for you. Thanks again for bringing us along with Mandi and you!

The App I use is On X hunting. It shows public lands. From there I zoom in and try to follow forestery roads untill I see an opening along the trail. I pin possible camping spots in Google Maps. Then I go scouting on the videos. I spend my lunch breaks at work on Google Maps. Lol

The bugs were almost nonexistent. Just a few horse Flys. We could leave the door open with no problem. Once it got dark the Mosquitoes came out. But not to bad! The temperature was about 72, the due point was maybe in the 50's, absolutely perfect conditions.
