Celebrating Christmas in the Truck Camper

- This week I take another solo camping excursion to a hidden jem. The kids are gone and Mandi's working, so I do a little Christmas / New Year's celebration in the woods. Minnesota is still cold; we still have snow, and the sun doesn't want to shine. So, everything is as usual. I am really happy with how well the Arctic Fox Truck Camper handles the cold weather. I find the camper more conformable than the bed in the house. Thanks for watching!
Here we are on sat may 11 2024 and I just watched this one
Don’t matter when you recorded it they are good 😝😍
Thanks for watching!
Thank You Kenny.
I’m still catching up with some past videos. Love the Christmas tree!
Thanks! I appreciate you checking out the older videos. I workd really hard on all of them. The first 10 or so I was still figuring stuff out, but there ok...who am i kidding, I'm still trying ti figure this stuff out. Lol
I'm touched with this video....Simple but beautiful the fire and Christmas Tree is just enough. The scenery with the snow is just breathtaking. "Mele Kalikimaka " Merry Christmas Hope You Had A Wonderful One ❤❤ Stay Safe and Healthy ALOHA From Hawaii ❤❤❤❤
That was so nice of you to say. Thank you for the kind words.
Snow shoeing would be really cool
The Christmas tree was a nice touch!
That was awesome how you did the drone in. The the night and it looked like a hallmark movie in the middle of no where… and their stood your camper. Awesome video..
Thanks! I really thought it looked awesome too. That spot is really secluded, no homesites for miles. I'm glad you found the video! Thanks for watching!
Nice tree from a couple years ago! All the best in 2024, too, Kenny! 🎄
What a great video! Would make the best beer Christmas commercial ever! Not a beer drinker myself. But video did give me best feeling of peace on earth and just pure joy. Thanks! I saw this very late in the game.
That was a great weekend. I re-watched that video a few weeks back. It brought back good memories. Thanks for checking out the older videos!
Im watching in 87 degrees, may i be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas in 2024
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too! 😉
I enjoy watching the cold adventures on these hot summer days.
Great music choices.
Thanks, I use epidemic sound. They have some really good music to choose from. It's 15 bucks a month.

Kenny, Truck Camper Compadre Here
Wow! Outstanding Winter Camping Video!
You're Definitely Hitting All The Marks!
I Like The Way You Change Things Up A Bit Here And There.
Well Done For Sure.
Reminds Me Of Younger Days Snowmobiling Up North Of St Cloud.
Enjoy Hearing Your Pride In Your Ride!
Back In My Fire Service Days As A Fire Mechanic Our Motto Was :
We May Not Be The Pride, But Without Us
The Pride Don't Ride!!
Keep Up The Great Work!!
You're Appreciated 👍
That is awesome to hear. I really do appreciate it! It's those kind words that encourage me to keep comming up with videos.
The video was shot about 1.5 hour's north of St. Cloud, so you are spot on!
Have a safe and happy New Year's!
You really escaped the hustle and bustle of city life and immersed yourself in a winter wonderland.
Way to go Kenny, another one in the books! Finally got all caught up. I'll be looking forward to your video and what it brings next week. See you down the road.
Thanks McKayla!
That tree was perfect! Beautiful footage.
You have the best videos, always enjoy your content and love most of your meals, you always do a great job of been a subscriber for long time it was a great choice
Thanks! I appreciate you watching and following along
Happy New Year to you and yours Kenny. Another great video
Sounded like foresty forests voice at 6:15,. . . love your videos great stuff
Good ear! His video is playing in the background. I bet we all follow a lot of the same channels. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I heard him too! 😀 Enjoying the outdoors vicariously with both Kenny and Foresty.
I enjoy your videos, You don't have a bunch of riff raff and nonsense. And love your setup and truck. I have a travel trailer, but want a truck camper next.
Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate it.
That is so cool!
Oh wow Kenny, your Christmas tree looked so sad, but, oh so very sweet! It was like "home away from home for the holiday". 🚙🎄❄
The snow looked like it was kind of a wet snow, like the kind that we get here in Washington state. I love the sound of walking in the snow makes, it reminds me of riding horseback and the saddle creaking, NICE!
VERY NICE VIDEO Kenny, thank you so much for sharing it, I had a great time! 😅 😃 😂
Your friend,
Didi 👋
🔥❄ 🎄 ❄
Beautiful Christmas tree
Nice video ! Happy New Year !
i just watched this video again (currently September '23) and I love it. What a great video. I love winter camping.
That you John I appreciate that!
The shrimp stir fry is quite good I get that exact same brand and it's great another one to try is the chicken stir fry
Thanks Glen, I'll give that one a try.
My wife and I are going to buy a truck camper and came across your channel. Love your great camera work, drone footage and music!
Thank you, thats very kind. I do try really hard...and I hope to only get better! Thanks for watching!
@@KennyOfAllTrades we have a random acts of kindness campaign in memory of our daughter. My wife especially appreciated your message about being kind at the end!
Really enjoy your videos Kenny, what a great way to travel, 4x4 truck camper, hey Kenny who's singing "Auld Lang Syne" ? Beautiful version. Thanks
The bands name is "Loving Caliber" it's their acoustic version.
Sorry you had to spend Christmas by yourself, but, what a great way to spend it. Thanks for inviting us along to share it with you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Safe travels.
Thanks, have a safe and happy New Years.
Nothing wrong with being by yourself if thats what makes you happy
Have a great New Year
Enjoyed again Kenny made my Xmas in September, looking at the snow, brings my memories back, when I lived in N.C., now living in fla, hot hot and humid 😊
Just watching this tonight, 3/22/24. Expecting 3” snow in NY Finger lakes region & loving this vibe! Thanks Kenny
I tried snow shoeing when I was in grade school, I remember it, it was fun, ok, not something I would take up. It’s basically being able to walk above deep snow. So you go at a walking pace. These shoes were big, it felt like learning to walk big foot style, lol. Did get my own cross country skis (n down hill skis), liked making my own tracks, you can go much farther, of course faster than shoeing for sure. I have an ebike too, love biking, its always been my passion, so that’s why cross country skis suited me better than snow shoeing. If you never have done either, (shoe vs ski) you might want to see if you can rent to try before investing. Happy New Year 🎉🍾🥂
Great idea, I've never been on snow shoes. As a kid I played with down hill and cross country ski's. I'll ask around and see if any friends or family have a set of ski's to try out, or rent a pair like you said. Thanks for the tips.
This year I'm hoping to b camping in a setup like this
Looks cold, peaceful and beautiful
Be Kind. Be honest.
Well done Kenny, well done!! I love this!! 🎄
Thanks! I just watched that video a few weeks ago. It brought a huge smile to my face. I love Christmass!
Awesome video. It's now July and I always watch Christmas in July movies by Hallmark. Great place miss getting snow her in Virginia. I was born and raised up north Pa. I miss it at times. Cool video fit right in with my movies. 😄
I love it!
Such a great video. Great editing and camera work. Minnesota is a great state and you prove every video. No comments please, but I live in New Jersey. I have been to Minnesota. Cass lake, Bemidji and Paul Bunyan State Forest. This was in 1971. So beautiful.
And a very Merry Christmas and blessed, prosperous New Year to you! Thanks for another great video! What a lovely camp and the decorations where really special. Auld Lang Syne always brings tear, when remembering past Christmases with family, dear loved ones now gone but sweet, sweet memories remain. Thanks Kenny.
Thanks and to you as well. See ya next week!
Passe de joyeuses fêtes !
Thanks, have a great new years!
Replay. Merry chirstmas 🎄
Hey Kenny how about doing some ice fishing and showing more tips on winter camping with your camper.
Sounds like a great plan! I will definitely be doing some ice fishing soon. I called my fishing buddy a few days ago....he absolutely refused to be on camera. But I'll still make it happen. Thanks for watching!
Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing what it’s like in your neck of the woods. Merry Christmas and Happy new year!
Thanks! I really enjoy your channel. I started watching you guys years ago when you were rebuilding that old Northern Light. In fact, after watching how good of a shine you got on that camper I bought a buffing wheel from Harbor Freight and started a new maintenance routine.
Cool 😎 like that
While you normally cook up more thought-out meals, I generally use something more like what you're having in this video. It makes enough for 2-3 meals, which means if my son is with me, I get to have a little bit. I'll get a bag of fried rice and put chopped sausage in it, or a couple of extra eggs, or something that will taste good with rice and terayaki sauce. I really should try to cook SOMETHING on the campfire, if just for pictures so I can impress my friends...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Kenny, great video as always, cross country ski has my vote, thank you for taking us out there Berr!!!!! And i live here lol
Thanks for the suggestion!
All you need is a Bigfoot to share the fire & X-Mas tree with! Merry New Year, Kenny!!! Sorry that the grrls had plans and Mandy was otherwise busy- Bummer. Thanks for sharing the Holidays wif us instead.
Mandi gets every other holiday off. Maybe next year she can can celebrate Christmas in the woods.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Oh Kenny, I have an idea! 😉
How does this sound to you, next year when you and Mandi come here, what about a surprise Wedding for the 2 of you? 💐👰
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself, I'm just a hopeless romantic.
But, it still sounds nice to me. 😉
Keep Camping! 🔥 🚙
Your friend,
Didi 👋
👰💐🌲🌿
Lol nice touch the tree snowshoes good idea wish I could bum knee I same as u e east coast for holidays one night on Atlantic Ocean Beach I upload vids shortly nice vid thanks
A great video. We live in northern Ontario and are lucky to have a similar climate and beautiful terrain. However, your videos are inspiring us to come and explore your beautiful state in our truck camper. Merry Christmas.
In north Texas we don’t see snow very often, let alone camp in it. And I noticed something above the interior of your camper door that leads me to believe we’re in the same business. I’m a 39 year retired Texas LEO.
Travel safe and God bless!
Things are changing....after 10 years in, I left a few moths ago. I had some wonderful experiences and terrible experiences, but one thing is for sure, my family got so much bigger. I am glad to be getting out when I did. I now work for the state and I get to put the skills I learned into a new venture.
@@KennyOfAllTrades WERE You A LEO Kenny? Wow, if you were, I bet that you were AWESOME! 👍👍
My Mom's Cousin worked his way up from the bottom, all the way to Detective and when he passed, you should have seen that church, there was no room at all, I had never seen so many Police Officers EVER!
Thank you Kenny for always catching the bad guys and cleaning up the streets, most admirable!
Take care and keep camping! 🔥🚙
Your friend,
Didi 👋
👮👏👏👏👍👍🤗🤗🤗
Thank you very much!
@@KennyOfAllTrades Kenny, you are most welcome my friend! 🤗🤗🤗
Your pic/history gets clear with every video watch. Guessing your divorced.
Hardest part of the whole thing imo is dealing with holidays without the kids.
Glad to see you found a way to deal with it.
Thanks. I appreciate the comment.
Wow you're really blowing up! Already 1300 subs. I guess that whole "first 1000 are the hardest" is really true. Just to get to where I am at feels like climbing K2, metaphorically speaking.
I felt the same as you. When I had around 800 subscribers I thought the numbers fluctuated worse then my weight over the holidays. I felt like I was never going to get more then 900 subscribers. But then the cold weather video got popular. Your last video was great! Keep it up, people will find them.
@@KennyOfAllTrades thanks kenny. Trying to keep my head up, feels discouraging right now but I bet if I keep at it and continue to improve the quality of my videos, I'll be at that magic 1k number within 6 months
For sure!!
Beautiful spot, another great edit. I bought a Artic fox 806 no slide this year, and your video's are really helpful. Happy New Year.
I personally prefer cross country skiing to snowshoeing, a little less exertion and I am able to go a lot farther and it just seems a little more enjoyable. Just my two cents.
My hobby would be close to the fire 😆 but snowshoes would be awesome
Ok I know it’s weird to watch a Christmas video in September but I gotta say, you did an amazing job on this video!! It’s kinda inspired me to go camping this coming Christmas and bring a lot up tree to enjoy near the fire 🔥. I might even bring my fifth wheel and some family, such a good idea 👍
Thanks Larry! I watch that video every few months because it brings back good memories. It was a very peaceful Christmas.
Love the channel and the vids, but watching this almost a year later and I have to add, "Hark, the herald, I heard Foresty Forest in the background". 😅 - as a fellow Canuck that made my day.
Foresty is one of my favorites
Nice you have great videos
Thanks!
A very nice and warm video, and a great touch with the Xmas 🎄. Always enjoy your content. That's beautiful country. Maybe start Sporting Clay shooting, can be done year round. I'll warn you it is addicting.
Great idea. I use to throw clays back in the day. We have a big preserve close to home. A few guys from the Minnesota twins would come out to shoot once a year. That was 30 years ago, they now have automatic throwers. Those were the good ol' days, we would get really good tips from picking up all the spent shells for the guys reloading.
@@KennyOfAllTrades absolutely. Things have evolved a lot. I joined a Gun club when I retired back in 2006, haven't regretted it. We have a monthly 5 stand shoot, it's great. I still occasionally shoot at our annual Texas Firefighter Games in July. Love Gun Sports. Keeps me ready for hunting seasons.
Great ideas!
I knew you would never get into cross-country skiing...LoL
Nope. I think I'd be so sore the following day. Lol.
At my Minday through Friday job, I'm on my feet all day and outside about 80% of the time. I'm afraid I'd push it too hard on Sunday and not be able to walk on Monday. Now that I'm almost 50, I don't heal as fast as I one did.
This is actually really sad. No family. All alone in the woods. (My wife says, “paradise” lol)
It's ok. My kids were with their moms family, and my girlfriend works holidays. If I wasn't in the camper, I'd be alone in the house. I also consider ot paradise! Lol
X wild guess. Mandi is a nurse?
👍✌️

Kenny , you goy some cool stuff going ,brother . I was wondering, I’m from FL. How do you keep your truck for Rusting out . We see car’s trade in’s from up North . They are rusted out ..
You are 100% correct, vehicles up here rust out fast! I try to keep the truck clean. Twice a year I pull the rubber plugs out of the rocker panels and flush out the salt and dirt. Same with the tail lights in the bed of the truck and the fenders up front, and I also make sure the door drains are open.
Then I use a product called fluid film to spray the inside of the body panels. I have a two foot wand with a special spray tip to get good coverage inside the panels.
I am constantly using a rust barrier spray on the frame. GM coats their frames with a waxy product. It scrapes off fairly easy. If I see exposed metal I clean it and spray the rust barrier on it.
Rust up here is unavoidable if the vehicle is a daily driver. You can slow it down, but eventually it takes over. If I lived in Florida I would not be looking for a vehicle that came out of Minnesota. Thanks for the question!
Liked the vid, scenery & Wishes. Do what You want to do. Check your bucket list. Just do some of us a favor & PLEASE use Less Music. Would be nice to hear the snow crunching under your feet, snow falling from branches, engine purring along & animals in the distance.
Good to know.
I'm a little late to make a comment here... might be 3rrd watching. I agree with the comment on music. Wilderness should be more quiet. I don't charge for my advice.
Hey Kenny, how do you stop your items on the counter from moving while driving.
The toaster and coffee pot have never moved.....they just sit on the counter. The charger basses for the two way radios are held down with sticky velcro. All the baskets are being held down with the same sticky velcro product.
Merry Christmas Kenny! Hey how much does the front of your cargo carrier stick out from the bumper? Im going to put a front mount spare tire carrier and cargo basket that would be 60” wide and stick out 35”. You think that would be too much? We have an F350 SRW Supercab with a short bed Arctic fox 865.
I just measured my front basket. It is 50 in wide. It sticks out 32 in from my front bumper. I added the marker flags to the front of the basket. I have never had issues with the front basket being there, whether I'm in a parking lot, navigating trails or in stop-and-go traffic.
I did have a video showing info on the basket. I installed a camera on the basket so I can see exactly how close I am to objects in front of me.
th-cam.com/video/VN5VKfpROHI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching!!!.
And to answer your question, 35 inches would not be an issue for me.
Awesome, thanks so much for measuring!!! I did see that video and a bunch of your other ones, great work! I actually installed a camera on top of the camper next to a cell booster antenna I put in that looks down the nose to see the front of the truck. It also serves as a clearance camera for low bridges/ gas station awnings. My wife and I are full time and have a pretty similar setup. I do all my own work like you so love getting ideas.
Those are excellent ideas. The camera by the cell phone ant is brilliant! I would love to be able to see the overhead clearance.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Its a piece of 1” galvanized pipe with a floor flange on it screwed into the roof with 3/4” screws and then dicor. cell antenna came with a pipe mount. The pipe is the same length as the highest point on my roof. On top of the pipe is a tee and the wireless battery camera is hose clamped onto that.
I love the music! Who sand Auld Lang Syne?
I will look up the artist name when I get home from work. It is such a peaceful rendition of this song.
The song was done by Loving Caliber.
Great video
Was that a friends private property?
Usually you say
Yes. It's on private hunting land.
what kind of tires do you have on the truck?
