To be honest I just know I was in the southern end of the Chipp…I was just exploring forest roads and found it. I have no clue what the name of the road was and I tried to pin it on my maps when I was out there but not enough reception.
Great campsite! I am also from Minnesota and I am planning on doing some dispersed camping in that area in the future. My understanding is that you can pretty much camp anywhere that there is an opening or a clearing. Does it have to have a designated bonfire pit already existing. Are these spots made by the forest service for disperse camping or is it just places that have been established by previous people?
It’s best to make sure you’re not on private land. It’s tricky. Download OnXBackcountry Maps app and that will show where public land is and what’s private land. It will also show you forest service campsites. Any other you find on your own is ok to use. If you make your own you should be disassembling the fire pit and cover everything up with leaves or pine needles as if you were never there…leave no trace principles. Once you get the hang of it out there it’s nice to be able to find quiet secluded spots.
I was there a couple of months ago, and most of the campsites that I found on on X were basically park and walk in on a trail. I am looking for a camp spot to camp out of my jeep Wrangler.
@@AdventurousRedJeep well OnX is my main tool for the Chippewa National Forest area! Keep exploring! There’s so many! Check out another TH-cam channel called KennyOfAllTrades! He’s been to almost a hundred drive up sites and gives little clues here and there on how to find the spots. If you follow all his clues you’ll know exactly where he’s at lol
My brother has a small electric powered chainsaw. Of course it would not be good enough if you were burning wood to heat your home. Still, something like it might be helpful for you on your trips. The tree you cut out of the road on the way to the campsite could have been done in a couple of seconds. You could probably even figure out a way to charge the battery from the alternator on the Jeep.
I’ve already had a battery powered Stihl saw in mind lol the Jeep has power outlets in it so I can charge them inside the Jeep. But to be honest, using a silky saw took me less than a minute so it wasn’t bad at all. Thanks for watching!
@@Ontrail82 I have that little battery powered saw. Thing is awesome! Just charge before you go. No need to bring the charger. It will go a long ways on a charge. Nice video. I’m planning a trip up to Chippewa for June. Looks great!
Very nice! You found a couple keepers there. Great video!
Thanks! The first spot will be once it warms up lol
That is an epic spot! We were there not too long ago 🙌🏽
Haha I figured somebody would see this and had been there! It wasn’t too hidden but still a very quiet and secluded area! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing
Great Video. You should give GPS or map screen shot of the area.
