  • In this video we will be traveling north on Hwy 61 visiting Minnesota's North Shore. We will stay a few days near, and in Silver Bay. I will take you along on multiple bike rides and walks in the area. We will stop at Taconite Harbor in Cook County and visit the historic safe harbor. We will ride the bike trails near the Split Rock River Trailhead, and hike in Cariboo Falls. Thanks for watching and feel free to subscribe for more of the same content.

      I appreciate you going all the way back to the beginning. A used go pro and a Craigslist laptop is how it all started. It can be hard to watch the older videos. But it's also neat to see every week how I learned a little more about recording and editing.

      Thank you! I was as green as it gets! I didn't even own a computer. I bought the GoPro used off Ebay and a used laptop of Craigslist because I didn't know what to expect. I had no clue what I was doing. I'm still learning as I go. The reason I use gold pros is because I don't know how to use a real camera. After two and a half years i'm still trying to figure this stuff out.

      A lot of my videos are based in Minnesota. That's where I'm from. This state has so many different terrains, from rock cliffs, old growth forests, rolling hills and prairies. Minnesota has almost everything except for Mountains. My favorite spot is the North Shore. In November Lake Superior has awe inspiring storms crashing into the cliffs. You should check it out if you ever have the chance.

Boondock camping, I like when my wife comes along except we have to camp around other people when she is with me because there are critters in the woods. I do have a tendency to disappear in the woods of 2 or three hours and my wife doesn't like it if no one else is around. She has said for 40 years that one day im going to get lost in the woods and not find my way back. Well hasn't happen yet. I'm not sure but she might be a little disappointed every time I make it back. 🤣 just kidding Mandi

    Great videos Kenny! We’ve been watching for 6 months and going through your library. We are trying to decide between a van or truck camper. for us living in a HOA subdivision in Orlando the van could be parked at the house the truck camper not more than a weekend however, i think you’re showing us the truck camper and 4x4 truck is the way to go. We are go to the woods people not campground residents. really enjoying the videos and what we learn from you. The one comment I make on all the 400+ channels we watch is that I can only speak for myself and I watch TH-cam to see and learn what people are doing I don’t watch to see the people talk for an entire video maybe it’s just me. Keep up the good work.

I do love the space of my Truck camper. It's even considered one of the small units with a slide. It's like having a small apartment in the bed of a 4x4 truck.

I really like how Kenny cleans up each site, we should a strive to follow Kenny's example.

      . When I was in Kansas the people were so nice. The locals would start by asking questions about the bike and truck.....the next thing I knew I was getting guided tours through old buildings. Multiple occasions I got a history lesson from locals that are proud of their past.....

There was three campers using the entire lot. They had huge screen tents set up, burning rigs set up. and all their Rv slides out.....overnight rest areas should not be used as a camping sight.

Now I'm working for the Department of Public Safety. I'm no longer a police officer. I switched it up when the channel started. I got burnt out. I loved certain aspects of the job....other parts were destroying my mental health. I decided to make a change. The good news is that one days I will collect off two pensions. The Police and Fire and now State. You will still see some of my old PD things in the camper. I have a few award pins hanging up.
