Hi Cosmo, I’m going back over some of your older vids that I’d not seen....always entertaining! You’re a great narrator (but I already knew that!) and your advice/hints have helped me often. Glad you enjoyed the North Shore area of MN-Peace, Dale/MN!
Loved MN. I will be back.
There's a YT from Mortons On The Move, while in the Yukon on the Canol Rd., had porcupines chewing the wire underneath the truck late one night, did major damage. The husband was an electrical engineer, had an amazing tool set with him, soldered and heat shrunk a repair. I was impressed
Ha wildlife is unpredictable. I have been very fortunate with wild life. We get along well (cant say the same about humans). Porcupines love salt. Will even sample tires if they have road salt on them. The ones I have shared camp with were quite nice and wandered around camp checking things out without incident. I just help them find the exit once they have checked out camp. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

Always a Thumbs up when you are in Duluth and the North shore. Bonus points for hanging out at a campground I like! (Indian Point)
Thanks Kirk. All the land that surrounds Superior was wonderful. =Cosmo
@@CosmoWeems I also watched and enjoyed the second video of camping/ boondocking in Canada along Lake Superior. I really need to get a passport so I can do the loop around Lake Superior.
I absolutely love your narration, your up-beat attitude, sense of adventure, appreciation for the beauty of the outdoors, your clever ideas, and your love for solitude!! I started RV-ing back in 1984, have owned 4 motorhomes, and now an 18' R-Pod. As a flight attendant for 32 yrs with Delta, I full-timed and flew at the same time for 6 years....And loved every minute! (And these were the years without cell phones, WiFi, and solar.) As a single woman on the road, I honestly never felt like I was in harm's way. YOU are a joy!!
Great Mary. Hopefully we will meet on the road some day and share your adventures! Hugs =Cosmo Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems?sub_confirmation=1
Throwing your trash away at a filling station, “I’ve got the goods.” You criminal you. I got a good chuckle. I didn’t know you are a comedian too. I always enjoy your camping trips, your straight forward advice, and good sense. Hope you didn’t scratch the car or the camper too badly. You are living well. Way to go! Texas
Great video Cosmo
Thank you for bringing us along.
🇺🇸🙏✌🏕👍
Thanks JD! =Cosmo Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE www.youtube.com
Another great video Cosmo. I’m binge watching between chores. Lol.
Very happy for you sir, I agree with you, it is better to camp along, and be able to collect your thoughts. Thanks for sharing
Lillie We are of one mind! th-cam.com/video/SttzUo1ENbc/w-d-xo.html =Cosmo
Awesome, love and envy your travel experiences, great info, love the content!
Thank You Edward. I used to search for cheap thrills in all the wrong places. Now I love nature and adventure (mild) in nature. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! =𝓒𝓸𝓼𝓶𝓸 ✅
Thank you so much for your video, I used to live in Duluth many years ago, and am hoping to do so boon docking in the area, in 2020. It was terrific to see my previous stomping grounds.

Born raised mn......been going g up to north shore all my life Superior National forest Boundry Waters etc never heard of big foot sightings lol...so true on the wild life !!!!!!

great video , keep them coming in the west we call that scraping on the side of your car by branches - "pin stripping "
The northern shore is a beautiful drive with lots of waterfalls and mountains. Enjoi!
Spectacular place. Loved it. See my other videos at th-cam.com/users/CosmoWeems
An excellent video Cosmo! Makes me wish I was with you the whole trip! I could have cleared the way with the FJ. You know in the four wheeling community the scrapes you get from branches on your vehicle are called pinstripes. I have a few on my truck.
Well I am in a pinstripe suite now for sure. Would have been good to have you running interference for me. Next time! =Cos
Love a little 1812 Overture.... Nice traveling music.
Thanks Fred. I love all music but in nature classical just seems to fit! th-cam.com/video/Uf-VtDew2cA/w-d-xo.html
SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
I'm glad to see that a few tight trails didn't let you miss nature's picturesque views. Remember this " scratched paint don't effect how the Subi runs.
Fun watching u find a boon docking place i cant wait...
Ooops typo there - Moochdocking!!!
My wife and I tented The North Shore, and northern MN, for our Honeymoon. Beautiful area and cool video
Its a great place for sure. I recommend the Lake Superior circumnavigation. Upper Peninsula of Michigan and other places are not to be missed along with Minnesota =Cosmo Thank You for watching. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

You should check out "paint protection" .... the clear plastic stuff that is peel-and-stick that is custom cut for your car. People put it on exotics but now also 4x4
You're a funny guy, I hit the like button after your comic challenge. Bigfoot tracks? My 16 yr old son said it's easy to mistake tracks. He's never been in any wilderness situation as far as i know.
You can tell Bigfoot tracks from the arch. Nothing to worry about when Bigfoot is around all is well! =Cosmo Thank You for watching. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

😂😂😂 ok-getting past the joke-I loved your video! I personally have learned I need to be able to jump from bed to drivers seat within seconds. But this works for you & you are unafraid to push on thru for a great spot. Thx & safe travels
If there is any doubt I get out and measure. Rocks, ruts, and over confidence are the big risks. It helps to have a spotter with you to help. I dont have a spotter so I get out and check often. Everything is a compromise including van vs trailer.. The risk of "bad guys" id very low where I am going. To put that in perspective there are 16,000 human on human murders a year in the USA. The large majority of those are in urban areas and with people who know each other. There are less than one black bear attack a year and fatalities are less. I feel safer with the bears. =Cosmo Thank You for watching. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

Cosmo, a golden “Oldie!”
Ya the oldie is Cosmo! Ha! Thanks Richard
Welcome to Duluth, my hometown. Twin Cities now. Lots of trips up the North Shore, Gunflint trail, BWCA etc. Have fun.
How he have fun there? Wow....
Glad you enjoyed your stay in our great state sorry about the bugs but it is part of the deal here have a great day be safe.
I am a Jersey native son. I love the state. Thank You for watching. Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
I have done this same trip, but camping with a tent. Worst bugs (ever!) were in the same areas as you experienced. Enjoy watching your travels. A teardrop trailer looks like a very attractive way to travel. Camping with a tent has gotten old for this older adult! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks Diana. I cant wait to be back on the road again. I am currently tied down maybe till August then I expect to get back on the road and have unlimited exploring and travel fun! =Cosmo
@@CosmoWeemsyou have to take care of responsibilities so you can enjoy your travels. Busy looking at teardrops online. Giving myself an education. Having the bed that folds up, so you can sit, seems essential. Too much rain these days. Enjoying my morning coffee sitting in the car or on my bed is not appealing.
Enjoy your time away from boondocking.
Details.
Ya I became the executor for an estate. Should be done with liquidating the real estate for the beneficiaries soon! Many teardrop choices See my Clam Shelter videos for more room outside the trailer. Weight for tow vehicle is critical when making a decision also. If you need help I would be happy to talk to you. =Cosmo
@@CosmoWeems Thanks! I will keep that in mind. Grew up in family that had pop up campers. Did recall my father's concern with weight when he shopped around. Thus i got out my owners manual. And I did check out your video on the clam shelter. Has one of the key features that I had been looking for, can you put it up by yourself if you needed to?
And that looked like a big yes.
Yes most people can put it up and take it down alone.
MN is buggy. I guess that is why they like ice fishing so much out there. BTW, I like your garlic tube.
Thanks Jason! Tube saves a garlic consumer like me lots-O-time which I use to enjoy more nature. Ha ha ha. Happy! New Year! =Cosmo 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweemsvideos

Excellent Matt. I had hoped the stuff I use and show would useful for all RV owners. 560 was at the top of my choices for a long time. =Cosmo
Add a few kernels of rice to your salt ,it will absorb humidity and keep your salt free of clumps.however you need a shaker top on the salt to keep the rice in as you shake the salt out
Must be high humidity here. tired a stainless steel bolt to break up the salt when I shake it, I tried rice and a number of containers so far the Nalgene is working best for me. Thanks for the suggestion! I am always searching for a better solution.. Regards =Cosmo

Hey there Mr. W.
Always enjoy your uploads. It's like taking a road trip with a friend.
Without the farts.
Rooster ( king of the back-handed compliments)
Oh yeah, almost forgot. There's a cool place just west of town there, Grand Maris (mer-eh) called 'the Devils Logslide' and also Sable Falls.
A person should see the old logslide if only for it's name. I mean, how cool is that.
I know, I know. Not as cool as a name like Cosmo Weems, but still pretty cool.
I always liked Kravin Morehead for a name.
@29:41 that's the road right before the pigeon river border crossing...great scenery for sure!!

We love tent camping and house boating. But my dh has health issues now, so a camper like yours might just work better than a tent next summer. Thanks for the response!
Another really good video! I grew up in Martinsville, NJ. Camped all over De water gap, round Valley, Stokes SF, and the Poconos. You need to go to the RTR and share some knowledge!
Thanks Jessy I am still having fun exploring the NJ PA NY area. There are some good spots I still have not see, RTR is on my list as is the west. I just cant be everywhere at once, looking forward to more exporation.
i wouldn't recommend rtr, not what it use to be
I use straight white vinegar and then simply wipe off with paper towels for dishes and pans. Also walmarts usually have garbage cans next to where the carts are out in the parking lot for trash disposal. Cheers.

ha ha ha The rascal ate all my Fruit Loops.
Great video! Love your rig! I like what your doing. I think I would invest in one of those small Honda generator to charge your equipment. Thank you.
Thanks Naa I don't need a generator. I am happy with clean quiet solar. Ha ha ha Im not using a microwave. or any power hogs. I remember in hurricane Sandy fuel was unavailable or a week. SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems and check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems
A wire stripping tool, an electric heat gun, and a little vacuum are very nice to have too.
A several mile long power cord to the mains power supply is good too.
Small hand held vacuums like Dust Busters are chargeable from inside your car, but you have to use them quickly and efficiently too. Heat guns do use a lot of electrical energy, but there should be good energy efficient models out there for use on just one connection.
Hahahaha that last bit gave me a good laugh. Great video, sir! Oh and that first thumbs up thing where you said you'd reach through the screen got a good laugh outta me too...made me have to rewind to see what it was you'd said that lead up to that. Your channel seem new if so try not to let the trolls and naysayers get you down too much. I've seem people be viciously mean to TH-camrs so kudos to those of you brave enough to try and do this line of work...hopefully you won't let become too much like work either.

seems like a lie from the pits of hell
i actually added maple syrup extract to a few canadian coins and bills...everyone at work fell for it..im a canadian living in Wisconsin so it was easy !
We all know this is a conspiracy to bring attention to Maple Syrup. I cant say I disapprove.

I love your fun videos and your positive attitude about life in general!! I'm a jersey girl myself raised right outside A.C. In Linwood,NJ.... then dad moved our fam out to Vegas in 7th grade!! I miss Jersey soooo much!! Just ANYWHERE ACTUALLY BUT HERE!!! I am looking to move to Astoria ,Or!! I just love the trees and beauty there!! I want to get a tiny house build myself if possible or get a trailer as well to go camping and boobdocking with my 7 yr old son!! Teach him there is more to the world than video games and laptops!!( he only plays a Nintendo handheld game) and he actually only plays it 2 times 3 a week he always wants to go fishing and outside!! I love it!! Not great fishing in Vegas lol.... few parks have fish stocked but very nasty you cannot eat them!!😂😳anyways why is it your NOT MARRIED??? Your very funny man!! I enjoy your videos!! Have an awesome day and BE SAFE OUT THETE!!!!👍🏼♥️🙏🏼
Paulina. Marriage was never important to me. Commitment is important to me. I have a significant other. I decided not to have children and II don't want to keep lawyers employed. I have been to Vegas and did a 10 day bicycle tour in the Utah desert. Loved it. I like change and variety - Maybe that answers several questions, Baw haw haw, =Cosmo

Boondocking means keeping a good pair of sharp pruning shears in the glove compartment!
Have never heard "boondock" with an "ing" as a verb before, I'm from the Missouri/Arkansas border, & boondocks was always "in the deep woods living", so your wording REALLY peaked my interest. Not makin fun for the record, you actually broadened my horizon today... Plus your trailer is extremely cool.

What a great video Cosmo. It is like going on the trip with you. You shoot video well, not whipping the camera all over. Good narration too. I love the color of your Teardrop, quite a platinum look. What is the official color.? Thanks for this video and I'll check out your others.!
Vistabule offers several colors for the trailer. I went for traditional aluminum.
I love the North Shore! Very meditative, spiritual place. An excellent place to reground one's self. Middle of winter here in the Twin Cities, and I'm missing Gitche Gumee big time. I have a basic wood teardrop trailer which was made by a retired gentleman in WI. Just the bones basically which I custom fit with mods I dream up in winter. I'm thinking of how I can add a cutting board/table to slide under my counter, and an idea popped into my head as I saw you pull yours out.
I am very surprised that you did not get a knock on your window at Split Rock with a 'move along now', but i suspect that kindness was shown due to you NJ plates. I'm jealous because us Minnesotans and Wisconsonites are sadly expected to know better, so less grace for us.
Did you know there is a place just south of Two Harbors north of Duluth, along Old 61 called Stony Point? It's a fantastic stop on one's way up to the N. Shore where you can walk along huge rock shelves and, if the weather is right, get splashed by the waves. People even surf there! (Check out YT channel for Stony Point Surfers). Plus there is a shop not too far from there which sells excellent smoked fish from the Lake, which keeps well on trips.
So glad you enjoyed one of the most beautiful places on our planet! Thanks for taking us along. You gave me the North Shore in warmer weather fix I needed for this month. I have subscribed.
P.S. 3 word suggestion: cast iron pans
Hi Paule. O must state that I did pay for the camping the next morning and they were very nice about it. Thanks for the tip! I will put it on my list for the future. I loved the remoteness of MN the Upper Peninsula and WI. They are 3 worlds to themselves. The remoter the town along Superior the more I loved it. I have family in Saint Paul and that is where the trailer was made so there is more MN in my future. Thanks Paula. So nice to discuss vacation in the dead of winter =Cosmo
@@CosmoWeems oh I was pretty sure you paid when I saw that you spent time there during the day, ;-) But they don't allow overnight parking except for those registered in campsites (you have to write down your vehicle's license when your register in ). They may let you sleep for 2 hours or so, but not much more then that, the the rangers will knock on your window, otherwise that lot would be constantly filled. They knew you were there alright. Camping spots are precious on the N.S. May - Oct 7 days a wk, especially with the State Parks, which are now 100% reservable and more often then not fully booked 6 to 9 months in advance, a year for weekends. That was what I was referring to.
I hate that the campsites at the S.P.s are 100% reservable. I've been going up there for over30 yrs and up until 3 years ago it used to be 1/3 to 1/4 were kept as 1st come 1st serve, nonreservable, which gave more people an opportunity to get up there when they could as not everyone can plan a year in advance, plus one could go after seeing the weather forecasts. But state forests are still 1st come 1st serve, and due to them being pit toilets only, one can usually find a spot Sun - Wed/Thur. I knew there were boondocking sites, but their locations were a well kept secret. So you rather widened my world. Thanks for the website link.
Cosmo we love you!

@@CosmoWeems , already did it! The Mrs and bought our first camper a year ago. (Grand Design 2670MK) we love all the amenities and comfort but I still love motorcycle camping and try to make one trip a year doing that. Last year my cousin and I did a few nights out in the woods. Both our families were into camping growing up. I turned 60 this year but I have no intention of giving up the things I love till I am physically unable to do it anymore. (I think I got 15-20 years left in me!)

I just got my GSI toaster in today. I love it. I will be trying it out just as soon as I get some English Muffins or maybe I'll just make some toast one day. I bought a Lodge flame diffuser to use underneath it.
Nice. I love my toaster and I love toast! I have not used a diffuser with the toaster. I just have to have the mental focus to keep an eye on the toast. I look for the first wisps of smoke an an indicator for when I have her over. I wanted to let you know I am truly impressed with your equipment (camping gear)! =Cosmo
Thanks. I'm not even done yet. Lol. I bought the diffuser first just to have one for my cook-stove, thinking I could also use it to toast bread, and then I saw the toaster. After reading some of the reviews for the toaster, I figured it would be a good idea to have the diffuser in the mix. I'm sure I won't *need* to use it, but I'm glad to have it just in case.
Ya once your on the road it will all fit together and maybe a few little tweaks here and there. I did well on the equipment analysis and only got rid of a few things and a few tweaks. I ditched the round storage containers for left overs (wasted space in a square cooler/fridge ) and purchased collapsible square containers which fit better.
I'm not much into plastic, but I think I can get square glass containers for leftovers. I realize it's heavier and can break but it's a safer material, especially when dealing with hot food.
@@freedomdove I avoid plastic to. I do use collapsible silicone containers for storing leftovers. I only cook with stainless steel or titanium. I dont want to be oart of the tumor research... Baw haw haw

I have seen several of your vids..u r welcome to come by but u need to let me know in advance as I am very remote..
@@lipsticklodge7526 WW thank you. I may take you up on that. but I need info on when in the spring its decent weather and no bugs (or the fall). Regards =Cosmo
The best time to come thru here is the 2nd week in October when everything is on fire with fall colour! Hwy 60 thru lower Algonquin park is gorgeous! I am closer to the northwestern arm of the park which leads to Round Lake. Even if u come thru later in October, like now, u will still see a show of yellow from the tamarack trees against the fir trees!
Best camp soap in my opinion is Dr. Bronner’s; It is biodegradable and can be used to dishes, clothes, hair, face, body and hands.
Thank You . I agree and am in the process of switching to the doctor as inventory runs out, Check my other videos th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems SUBSCRIBE th-cam.com/users/cosmoweems?sub_confirmation=1.
BY The Way, the Dr. Bronners Eucalyptus liquid soap is great for washing dogs and cats. It kills all fleas and bugs on the animals.!
Try baking soda then add some vinegar in the pan then scrub or use a wash cloth whatever is needed.

I love your humor!!! I love this site at the lake now...especially with the view of the lighthouse...what a plus!! Is it OK to lay the solar panels right on the ground? I'm just curious, as I don't have any solar panels yet, so I am still in the learning phase. "If you have a nice bottom, contact me immediately"...lmbo...you are hilarious...I think I'll just have to subb now...that made my evening...Thanks Cosmo...Enjoy😊
Thanks Janet. You did contact me immediately so I will make some assumptions. Baw haw haw. The solar panels are hungry for sunlight. 10AM to 2PM is prime solar time. You want the solar panel to face the sun just like you had your eyes shut and were sunning your face. At noon when the sun is over head you can lay them flat. Sometimes its so windy you have no choice. You do the best you can! I expect no more or less. Nice hearing from you and do keep in touch. Check my other

@@CosmoWeems you are indeed a hoot, Cosmo...we all need to laugh more...it helps makes those tougher times much easier. Thank you for your insightful info...it definitely helps hearing that from someone who is out there living this way and trying different things and then pleasantly sharing them with others...life is an adventure...at least it should be, if we have worked all our lives and now are retired...this should be the best part of our "time for us". I definitely will watch all of your videos...I love to laugh too and I miss that so much...I was widowed 24 years ago Dec 2018...my late hubby had the best sense of humor and it took us gracefully and lovingly through some of the hardest times we were faced with...but he never gave up...it just wasn't in his vocabulary. He had cancer from Agent Orange, when he was stationed in VietNam back in the mid 60's...he was 25 the first time he was diagnosed and his 3rd bout took his life. Not one day goes by that I don't miss him terribly, between that and the loss of our baby daughter 20 years prior to his...at times I could not even begin to think of how to go on alone...it seems somehow I muddled through, so now I have decided it's time to do something he and I had talked long ago about..."RVing full time or until we get sick of it"...lol And so, the journey will begin here soon...I'll go wherever Mariah's Wind blows me...my journey down "a road less traveled", will become my Passion. 😊🌞🌞🌞🌞
Missing someone in a profound way is the sincerest form of love. I embrace loss. I bath in it. It is good pain. It connects us to ourselves in an age of distraction and comfort.

If you'd like, grate your garlic cloves on a microplane, and, you won't have to use your chef knife for that; makes it a LOT easier, IMO. Really enjoy your vids; am sub'd. Y'all Be Safe!
Thanks Rich. I use a mcroplane at home for fresh Garlic and Ginger. In the trailer everything has to be multipurpose (for me) and a knife is more versatile than the microplane I agree it would be a nice to have. Camping is one time I am unhurried and can devote extra time to cooking and I actually enjoy the zen of garlic cutting! =Cosmo Thank You for watching.
