"I'm bleeding, ice it!" 😂😂😂😂 That was funny
🤣 I lost my shenanigans when Kenny said that!
I could almost hear Toby saying I’m bored, let’s go camping at the end of the video! See you next week back out there! Have a great week!
It will feel nice to wake up Sunday in the middle of nowhere!
Heck that kitty in the beginning of the video was bored too...all that lovie dovey rubbin all around Kenny's legs wanting to get away too. Sweet beggins 😂😊
You have a rare commodity here. You engage your audience while others talk to us. You're the best sir. Loved the video and I can wait for a maintenance video. Have you ever thought about doing a video on just the "bloopers" from your travels? Think it would be great. Thanks again.
I think that would be really funny. I had a fun time with these few clips. One day, I'll make a Best of..and Bkoopers video. It will be cool.
Kenny, you don’t need to apologize, camper maintenance is a fact of life. Your creative problem solving is interesting and helpful! See you next week!
Kenny - your videos inspired me and my husband to get our first camper trailer, and we're taking our first camping trip this week. We are so excited. Enjoy your videos so much and your simplicity keeping it real. Of all the van lifers out on TH-cam these days, we always find yours the most enjoyable.
Love Toby 's face he is ready to camp too
Seeing Toby brightened my evening! He's getting cuter all the time! Looking forward to seeing both of you on another camping trip.
❤️
As an original mamber of " The Toby Nap Time Fan Club" I remind my fellow members Toby was about to nap! As we all know that means , all club members must nap at a time of thier choosing, before the release of the next video by Kenny...( great vid by the way)
To Toby ! The Nap Master!!!!!
Long may he reign!!
( just a little fun here! lol!!)
Turns out I'm a member and I didn't even know it.
@@Scroll_Lock That just means your talented...! Nonetheless, good on you!
I love this!
That Toby is the most chill pup I’ve ever seen. 😂. I think ya got yourself one good camp companion there. 👍
Definitely need to step it up on the med kit. Thank you for the reminder! Had some tears when you mentioned your Hannah. Our pets definitely have a permanent place in our hearts. I have some that I miss too...
Another great video...with special "lounging guest" Toby!!!
Side note, I am a instructor with the American Red Cross and I recommend everyone take a First Aid, CPR, and AED training course. Needless to say I will be a bit biased when I say to take training from the Red Cross. If you do a lot of hiking and camping and remote camping like Kenny does, I recommend that you take the Wilderness First Aid course as well. It covers more information on Heat-Related Emergencies, Hypothermia, Altitude-Related Illnesses, Allergies and Anaphylaxis, Burns, Bone and Joint Injuries, Wounds and Wound Infection, and splinting.
I won't go into a whole lot of details as there are a ton of different types of first aid kits out there but yes, make sure you have a tourniquet like the C.A.T. and learn how to use it properly. I would also say include Narcan nasal spray in your kits, a prescription is no longer required and I saw it on the shelf in Walgreens the other day.
While telling your friends and family where you are going or at, another good idea is if you like to go really, really, really remote, bring an emergency locator beacon with you. It could be your last resort for help. Yes, they can be pricy but if you are up a certain creek without a paddle, it will be worth it.
All really good ideas!
You are the best kenny! The saying pay to play comes to mind
I'd had some true crime type shows on in the background during work this afternoon. By the time I logged off I'd had all of that I could take, and needed something positive and constructive. Thanks for delivering on that! 😊
I also remember the stick on gutters you told us about. We all have learned so much from you! Thank you for being you!
Toby's even too lazy to say "bye." Gotta love that dog Kenny. He's the best just like you! :)
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Thank you Kenny for showing Toby, he is such a handsome guy, & goodness how he has grown. I missed Toby in the other videos. Enjoy your videos no matter what they are. Say hello to Mandi & Tilly.
Glad to see you and Toby but I will look forward to being in the woods.
Us too! Thanks for watching
If you carry a well stocked Medical Kit, nothing bad happens. Forget it, and doody happens.
Nice dreams, Toby.
Enjoyed again, Kenny and Toby, don't forget liquid band aid
Super glue works as well
Great tip 👍
Heck, you could make an entire video on your injuries and falling follies! 😝
Nice to see Toby this week, especially since someone…won’t mention any names…left him out of last week’s video!
RIP Hannah 💔
As always, stay safe out there…..
😅
Oh goodness no! It hurt me seeing him get hurt. Our precious pups will never leave us as long as we remember them ❤️
Kenny, as a hunter, thanks for the reminder to go pick up a tourniquet! Totally forgot. Anyone else, accidents happen so fast.
Evening! So look forward to your videos! Thank you, I know its a lot of work!a suggestion for your 1aid kit is liquid benadryl. Now that you are traveling w Toby, its good to have on hand in case he gets bitten. Also good for humans. It absorbs into the body quickly because its liquid. I travel w dogs and also carry charcoal tablets - just in case. Wishing you an amazing week and can’t wait for next Tuesday!
That's a great tip! I do carry a small bottle of pills. You are right the liquid would absorb much quicker.
Loved seeing Toby. He’s such a handsome boy
Kenny you have to feel positive about every adventure you and Toby take! You do more than most people can only dream about! Stay positive and all those times you get clobbered will just be that much more funny! Hang in there buddy and God bless
Thank you
Miss your uploads from the weekend in the woods, but gives us something to look forward to next Tuesday evening!
You do such a great job explaining stuff. We enjoy all of your videos, whether you are out camping or just sharing your experiences. Thank you again!
I appreciate that!
Special guest Toby!
Loved the flashbacks to previous videos. I had totally forgot about that nasty head gash. Ouch. Toby looks ready to go on another camping adventure
Thanks, Kenny, for a great video! I remember you doing the mods on your camper and I will look into your friend’s channel. Also, thank you for showing your med kit, people don’t realize how important it is until it’s needed. Have a great week and we’ll see you and Toby next week ❤
What's up, Kenny. More demo/how to videos are good. One can always learn something new.
I am impressed with your emergency kit. That is a for real kit! You are just missing the Narcan 😅 Hi Toby! It was great seeing you.
Right! I was thinking it's sad that you need a prescription for epinephrine. They are both needed for life saving measures. If I did more urban camping I would need the Narcan.
Thanks for having Toby in the video! I enjoy all your videos. Thanks for your efforts. I’m just a working Jo like you, and your videos give me a little break in the normal grind. It means a lot.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Toby is getting to be a big boy. My Toby is still 16 lbs.
Thanks for great video.
You really need to give Toby a "chill pill". 🙂 Really liked the electrical review, pretty good!
Lol. He was a little rowdy in this one. Thanks for watching.
There he is in his nice fancy blues, Great to see that pup!!
Kenny, glad you’re content remains true and honest - keep these great videos coming!
While I prefer your adventure videos, I certainly don't mind the maintenance videos. Love the channel!
Wow. What a flash back to so many episodes in this video. Great job! Great memories too! Remember… no pain no gain. Hahahaha
Heyy Kenny and Toby, Toby don't want to be bothered he just wants to chill lol,stay safe
Love love TOBY! And the channel is good too. that’s starring Toby though that’s just too too excellent!
Soft starts for the air conditioner would help with the compressor kicking on
100% That's a good tip!
Great video Kenny!! I want to install a plug like that into my camper to power it via my power station!!
Great to see Toby back in the spotlight! Who was the kitty at 12:08? Looking forward to seeing you back in the woods next week, hope you cook us a nice meal 🙂
That was Stanley! I had a big mama cat show up last fall. She had a litter of kittens in a truck bed behind the garage. She was friendly, so I named her Kitty. She had a few kittens. Two kittens stuck around, Stanley, Angela. They are my outside kitties. Stanley is super lovable and always wants attention. Angela stays back until the food comes out. The moma cat and kittens made their way back to the neighbor farm.
@@KennyOfAllTrades Aw, Stanley is super cute!
Well done as always. Toby is the most chill dog ever! Appreciate the way you have set up the charging/electrical. I struggle with that. Your idea for exterior table is great too. And not to be concerned about modifying a camper to suit you, which I think inhibits many of us. Looking forward to next week!
Oh my, this video had me in stitches, when showing your scrapes and bumps. When you stuck your injured finger in the snow, I peed my pants. Wasn’t expecting that. Fun video.
Lol. I'm glad I made you laugh!
Thanks for the shout out! Excited to see your next video.
Hey Kenny I enjoyed this video I was happy when you said you were gonna put Toby in this week I missed him he’s getting so big. You really did some cool things to your camper I love seeing how all that power works very interesting when you explained it. The first aid kit great idea I like how you bounced back to past videos when you got hurt and needed that kit you cracked me up when you hurt your thumb and you said ice it and stuck it in the snow 🤣😂 your Hanna was a beautiful dog I’m so sorry she passed that is the hardest thing to handle our furbabies are our family now you will have a new buddy with lots of great memories to be made, Im really looking foward to seeing you back in your element of camping next week we’ll enjoy the rest of your week and enjoy your camping Debbie from New Jersey 😊
Thank you so much! Toby and I are looking forward to this weekend.
Well, you're showing off your solar panel. I can hear all the frogs in the background. We have lots of frogs, too. You can almost have to speak louder over them😂
Here is a link to the first tour video if you missed it. Thanks for following along.

Kenny,
Great video.
We all get our camper where we need things,.
New improvements come along and we make it even better.
Routine yearly maintenance is a necessity like new line on our fishing poles. LOL
Have a great week my friend.
We all enjoy our trips and learning experiences with you.
Tell Mandi and Toby hey.
Take care
I was going to have words with you if I didn't see Toby but you saved it at the end :)
Lol. Mandi said the same thing to me!
Nice job as always, appreciate you. Cheers from a black fly apocalypse!
I enjoy watching the how to videos. You just might learn something you'll need down the road. Thank you for mentioning Square Body- who doesn't like those classics. I'll check him out. I remembered every one of those boo boos, I wondered if you were going to make it out in that one video. I saw Monday night Western Minnesota had tornado warnings. I knew they were away from you and Tiny Cabin Life but I still prayed for safety. Always enjoy whatever video you and Toby put out. Toby is becoming a handsome young man ❤ Stay safe and GOD bless
Thank you so much. I appreciate you thinking of us!
yay Toby! He looks soooo comfortable! Enjoyed the walkthru, look forward to seeing you both back out in the woods of Minnesota!
Thanks!
Thank you for going over that electric. I seen bits and pieces of it before. But I wasn’t putting it all together in my head. We have a Palomino 2 90 one. I run two Duracell group thirty-2s in the camper. Then I have two lithium batteries in the backseat of the truck. Then I have switches in there that I can separate the two different types of battery groups. I also have a DC DC charger. On a cell annoyed under the hood. That charges the two lithium batteries. Thank you for going over that.
Very cool, i like how that setup sounds. Thanks for the comment
Awesome Setup, I love your camper, great job on all the power. Love the flashbacks I should do that on my videos. I just spent 5 grand on solar panels, controller, inverter and batteries for my camper the expense hurt bad but I am really loving it. I know how it is I have two red bone hound dogs that have past on a lot of my early videos, LOL yea your face and Lip was HUGE. I was a Flight nurse in the Air Force, spent 10 years on Rockingham Augusta Search and Rescue as an EMT here in the George Washington National Forest and 30 years in Law Enforcement you would be surprised how many people ill-prepared in all aspects of life not just camping and outdoor adventures. Your mishap flashbacks are award winning. Ice it. Toby wasn't happy...with this weeks video he loves smelling the hiking trails.
Toby and I both miss the woods. I'll have to check out your new power setup. It sounds like you are all squared away. Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed the video, glad to see Toby! I’m glad you have a good first aide kit with you, also glad to know I’m not the only one who gets banged up and cut! One thing I would suggest in your first aide kit is something called “after bite” I’ve worked outside most of my life and these swabs really help with bee/wasp stings. And being Toby will be with you a dog first aide kit would be good to have too, plus you should carry benedryl tablets for him as well. Your Vet can tell you the dosage but I keep that on hand at home for my dogs as well.
Great tips! I'm gonna look for the after bite. I'll ask the vet about the dosage. I carry a small bottle of pills in the kit. Thanks for the info!
Cross Country RV Solar. They’re on YT it’s a young family and Derek who can help you with information and getting a better converter and more panels. He’s honest and very hard working, certified and did a beautiful job on my LQ horse trailer.
Thank you for the info! I love to hear from people who have had good experiences with techs in the business. I will have to check them out.
Awesome couple of videos! Interesting to see what you have going on. I was guessing the compressor was going to pull about 1600, I was surprised to see it hit over 2300! My wife and I watch you every week, this week I had to go looking for you. Once I found you I realized that I hadn’t subscribed. That was my second surprise. I quickly remedied that.
Have a great rest of your week!
Thanks! I appreciate you subscribing.
Another great informative video! Hope you get all your maintenance issues taken care of soon, but first....it's off to the woods with Toby! Have a great week, Kenny, will catch you next!
Love the table on the back of the camper! Such a great way to repurpose the grill 🙌🏽
Hey Kenny, ❤ seeing your beautiful Hanna! Was Tilie in the background? The cat was trying to say hi as we!l😂 hi Toby! ❤ the video! I never thought to throw a turnikkit in my first aid kit.
You have a great eye! Tilli was at the house Monday evening. She made it on camera for just a second. Stanley is constantly under my feet. He is a little lover.
Next weekend is fishing opener. Have you decided on the fold up kayak? We need to see your shore lunch cooking abilities.
PS. Don't forget the tackle box this time.
Thanks,
Teshor
Yes. You will be seeing that soon!
👍🏼👍🏼I enjoyed this second part! Ow to all your injuries!🙁 Thank you for this video! Take care and stay safe! ❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️🐕🐈⬛🐕❤️
We watch your channel every week and we love what you do. We had a slide in truck camper up tell yesterday and both jacks collapse putting it on our truck we are so devastated. I tried to attach a picture but can’t figure out how to attach it to the comments section. But we will keep watching maybe someday we can get another sliding camper. Keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy life. That’s what it’s all about. And thank you for sharing.
That really sucks!!!
Oh man what a bummer!!! That's to bad. I can't imagine the feeling you must of felt. I would be sick! I hope you can make something work.
I switched to lithium and haven’t looked back. All you need to do is snip the wire in the control panel that does your charging for the house batteries (usually yellow). Pick up a lithium 110v battery charger and a dc dc charger and you are good to go. 👍👍
For sure. One day, I'm gonna make the switch. I'm sure I won't regret it and wonder why I didn't do it sooner. No doubt lithium is superior.
Great video. I was at my local Walmart and I saw a truck camper, not very common around here but the funny part the license plate said Minnesota!
Very cool!
Lovely house and trees Kenny
Thanks!
Kenny........awesome video! THANK YOU for showing your First Aid Kit. You are set! The stop bleed and tourniquet are two items that everyone needs. I carry a couple of tourniquets in my truck's glove box that I use to have in my patrol car. You never know when you'll come across a serious car accident where the tourniquet could keep someone from bleeding out. I also carry level 5 cut resistant gloves, nitrile gloves and my safety hammer window breaker/seatbelt cutter tool from the old days.
Does your Modified Sine Wave inverter cause any electrical problems for your electronics vs a Pure Sine Wave inverter?
Really enjoyed the trip down memory lane, especially enjoyed seeing Toby's face.............he is so sweet looking!
Thanks! I have run e everything on the modified sine wave for years without an issue, including my laptop. With that said, I have found some power stations will not charge. I think the higher end models have a smart charing technology. My small power stations are no problem. The Allpowers has tons of safety built in. It sees the modified sine wave and won't accept it.
Hey Kenny: coming soon to a PO Box near you… A little something hopefully to help you out. From one camper to another. Thanks being a standup good guy and for the cool videos. BTW my wife and I love Toby. Be well, friend
Very cool! Thank you so much, I really appreciate all the support.
Kenny? My sister (she lives over toward TRF, MN heard it on news) tells me there's something in the neighborhood of 80,000 pieces of mail sitting undelivered at the Bemidji post office bc they can't find help. That guy planning to send you that stuff might have to deliver it in person! 😊
@J.Benson Your not wrong.
Haha. Just hoping he gets it to help on his next adventure with Toby
👍👋Thanks for the video. Definitely, I would go for the printable Eterna Bond.
Great video as usual Kenny, thank you for detailing that 20A breaker setup. I live in ND so an inside power bank will lengthen my camping window!
Great additions and upgrades for sure!!
Toby doesn’t want to be bothered 😅 This video was very informative you really are a jack (Kenny)of all trades 😄❣️
Thank you that was a good video, glad to see I'm not the only one who bleeds.....lol
Thanks for part 2. Can't wait to get in the woods as well!
I added a second transfer switch so I would never find out what happens when shore power meets inverter power. Road trip time!
That's a good idea and the proper way to do that setup. 👍
Hello Kenny always great videos!! Some Safety suggestions: Use a "transfer switch" to isolate and select one or the other for shore or solar generator. If not that, wire it so you can only select one or the other but never both. Always use good quality DC breakers between your inverter and battery bank AND between your solar panel array and your solar charge controller.. Use wire and breakers that are rated for the max current that these devices will draw. It is always a good idea to use breakers so you can isolate the system when you are working on it. When wiring, use the largest gauge wire that will fit into your electrical contacts and keep your runs as short as possible so you don't have a voltage drop and loose power..so many times I have seen people using 4 or 6 gauge wire to an inverter where the inverter was drawing 200 amps and they should have been using 1/0 gauge wire-ending up with a glowing toaster wire to the inverter. and as you say, if you don't know what you are doing find someone who does.. Take a look at Will Prowse's TH-cam videos on wiring RV and solar systems.
Thank you for all the great info. You are spot on with the transfer switch.
I may never have a truck camper, but damnit your vids are def pretty good.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Great video, sir. Have a wonderful week. We'll see you next Tuesday. God bless
Thank you kindly
Hi Kenny you did a lot of upgrades on that Rig looks great I did a lot on my rig too it's crazy just did suspension waiting on new tires & wheels to come in and I might be done LOL travel safe see ya next week
Thanks! Safe travels!
Enjoyed the camper videos very much Kenny. Thank you!
Ooooooo, I also wanted to say, your Accurite weather gauge will do that if it is running off of batteries only. If it is plugged it AC/110 it won't shut off like that. That's just my experience with owning Lacrosse and Accurite weather centers :) Hope it helps.
That is very good information, thank you!
Love your upgrades, living in the north I try and use stainless steel hardware for projects that see the elements and salt...
Excellent video sir. I am Uber intrigued about the power station and connection to your truck. I am considering doing the same for my own setup. Thanks so much for showing us around and disclosing details. BTW I think you have a cat that wants to go camping with you too. Take care and safe travels!
Good ol' Stanly. I can't walk outside without tripping over him. He and his sister Angela keep the mouse population in check around here.
I need more info on your cat, pls and thank you!
Oh and the hubs and I love watching your videos! Keep em coming.
That's my boy Stanley. Last year, I had a neighbors barn cat show up and have kittens behind my garage. Moma went back home when the kittens were on their own. Two of them stuck around. We have Stanley and Anglea outside. They live in the garage. They both are little lovers, but Stanley likes to cuddle more the Angela. They have been in the house a few times, but they prefer to live outside. I had a cat dropped off at the end of my driveway last fall. His name is Morty. He was 100% house cat, so he lives inside. Oddly enough, the 3 don't get along, so Morty doesn't get to chase the mice like Stanley and Angela. Toby gets along with Morty and Stanly. They dont pay much attention to each other. Angela doesn't have any time for Toby.
@@KennyOfAllTrades awe, I love cats. I have 4 of my own that I raised from early kitten hood. 2 of them were born outside and found and the other two were born during a time I was fostering their pregnant moms so I watched them come into this world. Thanks for the reply!! Have a good one.
Hi Kenny- yep good med kit there! As a fyi to any of your viewers who may want a ready-made kit they may want to look up Dr Joe Alton & his wife Amy Alton. They have a variety available. They will, also, do custom-made kits.
Thanks again. You & Mandi take care 💕 Hi to Toby & that friendly kitty. 😆
That is very cool. I definitely think having a good kit is essential.
@@KennyOfAllTrades The thought struck me that perhaps with both your & Mandi's combined know-how in the medical area perhaps we viewers could order pre-assembled med kits from you guys? I know it's a rambling thought, but anyways, sending it your way. 🙂👍
That is a great idea. I've never talked about my background in the videos. I was a police officer and first responder for years. I've been on thousands of medicals.
The old saying in police work is to remember the ABC's of medicals....that stands for Ambulance Before Cop.
That rarely happened. Lol
@@KennyOfAllTrades Wow. This would, possibly, make sense to consider!
@@KennyOfAllTradesSide note: my background is lab medicine tech, but for many years I'm a full-time caregiver to elderly parent. Had contemplated further study into lab forensic med, but daily life put me into the driver seat of caregiving. So, that's my deal. Nice to meet you Kenny. Lol.
First aid kit is a must. I need to get that bleed stop. I’m on blood thinners so even a scratch I bleed like a stuck pig.
Oh yeah, that would be a good idea for you. I bought this box at Walgreens but I bet it's in most pharmacies.
Thank You Kenny!! Very helpful. Hope to see you up Alaska way sometime.
That would be awesome!
Really enjoyed the video! You have a beautiful yard
Thank you!
Im excited to see your home base. Love the videos. My wife and I went to Maine last year in an AF 880 with a 2015 3500 DRW. Had a blast. Keep the videos coming, look forward to them every week.
Toby!!!!❤
A great 2 parter Kenny, we all appreciate it. Thank you. And.....we all miss the woods too.
Awesome! I'm looking forward to the weekend already!
Hey Mr.Kenny and Toby
Hi Kenny Toby love 💕 your camper it’s Awesome and Amazing Beautiful 😊
Thanks so much!
Always enjoy camper reviews and upgrades. For safety, I think you should consider a transfer switch for the AC selection control. I stuck one in my trailer. Simple and relatively cheap and works great. Looking forward to you getting back out camping. Take care.
I totally agree with a transfer switch. I went to Menards to buy one when I started the project. It was 300 bucks. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of money. I should look on Amazon. I bet they are cheaper there.
@@KennyOfAllTrades
TS-30 GoPower is about $140.
Thanks! I'll look at that. That's half the price of Manards.
Excellent video I’ve learned so much from you with your different set ups. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
Thanks for the tour!!!
Great video! thanks much.
