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

    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

I have to say after re watching this one again out of all your video thus far this is got to be my favorite. I had to put winterize and put our camper away for the season this weekend. 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. Bring a chain saw for limb removal if we get down some old logging trails. Debating if I should bring the 12 footer for a little fishing. Can't wait for this week's video

I love seeing her reeling in the fish and letting you know how she was out fishing you. On a side note I finally caught some fish on Sunday.

    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.

    Mandi kickin butt with those sunnies! You are right though. It’s tricky catching those walleyes/bass/pike. I was always much more proficient catching the sunnies. They looked delicious. Y’all should’ve pan fried some up! I am envious. Only thing we have out west primarily is trout. And trout is not the best tasting fish, IMHO. Also, that is most certainly the best boondocking spot I’ve ever seen in Minnesota!

    I'll have to make some fish tacos. I love them. I agree with the trout. My dad would take me up to the mines as a kid to go trout fishing. I always thought they were fishy tasting. I'll take sunnies or crappies over trout.

(She won't look back at these old comments, so it's ok that I dropped that here) We started dating when we were both raising our kids. She had her home, I had mine, and I worked out for both of us to have our space. 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!

The central and southern part dont have the same opportunities. I once thought I'd be moving to Montana or Wyoming when the kids moved out of the house. But my eyes have been opened to the endless outdoor activities this state offers.......if the taxes weren't so darn high, I would say Minnesota is one of the best states.

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.
