This week's video we travel up north to the Clint Converse State Forest Campground. It is south of Hill City Minnesota in the Land O'Lakes State Forest. I explored the forest with you on another video, but we never stayed at this campground. You may remember a video where someone, or something, threw rocks at me while walking down a path. This is the same forest. Unfortunately, this time I didn't have any odd experiences. Unless you count a lonely empty tent perched on top of a hill in the campground.
This weekend's weather made finding the energy to explore in the forest difficult. It was cold, rainy, and windy one minuet then sunshine the next. I found it easier to be lazy and catch up on some of my favorite KZfaq channels. It's easy to be lazy inside the truck camper, it's an apartment on wheels. Even though I have owned a truck camper for more than 20 years, I still feel amazed at how much room there can be in the back of a short bed pickup truck.
I'm looking forward to my two-year anniversary with the channel real soon. I took an extra day off work to celebrate, so I will have a three-day weekend soon. I hope to have a longer video exploring inside the Superior National Forest from the comforts of the Arctic Fox. If you have any questions or suggestions for the video let me know.
I really appreciate you following along on the weekend adventures. I know balancing work, family, and free time can be hard. If you can't find the time to make an adventure on your own, I hope that these videos are able to provide a small escape.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts and condolences regarding my dog Hannah. The last few weeks have been hard for the girls and me. She was my best friend and I miss her every day.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'll see you again next week.

Staying in a tent is camping. Staying in a luxury hard shell RV isn’t.

Tom, we could argue about that silly statement, or we could come together with our love for nature. Our forests are being trashed! Our public lands are being taken away! Don't waste your time worrying about a fellow camper. Me, and my camper is not what you should be concerned with.

Tom, you sir are a tool. I’d rather be in a hard shell than a tent. I have many memories of camping with my grandparents in the Adirondack mountains. Bears would visit us every night. No thanks to tent camping, been there done that. Rain, animals, watching from the windows was still camping.

Hi Kenny another great vid, Ive just completed a truck build using a little pantech truck, still a ways to go and wish we had your winters here in Oz. Had a bit of snow in my area (Orange NSW) but hardly any. Was going to say, another way of cooking your chook is butterfly it. I usually do niblets or steak when away but have started using butterflied chickens from butcher which come already marinated. Looking forward to more vids without the snow ..but it sure does add to the landscape Cheers

I finished editing last night, it will be dropping in about 10 hours. Have fun with the new build. It would be cool to hear where you take it.

Kenny, thanks for your videos they are great, I did notice you unlock your camper using the top left keyhole, My understanding is that its a universal master keyhole where dealers can access the camper with a master key, I have been told never to rely on that keyhole . In other words lots of keys may fit that keyhole. Might want to check it out.

That I'd a great point, and I think it's 100% accurate. Unfortunately, my key for the door latch doesn't work anymore. In fact, that is the second hardware set I've bought off Amazon. Now I only lock the door while in transport. I have forgotten to lock that upper deadbolt in the past, and my door will swing open while driving down the road. One day, I'll look for a quality door handle instead of the junky pot metal I have been buying. Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy tonight's video from last weekend!

I'm gonna start focusing on that. I try so hard to make them longer. It's funny because Sunday morning, I was thinking I had enough footage for a 25-minute video. But when I start editing, it only turns out to be 15 to 16 minutes. I with I hard more time to record. I usually start recording Saturday afternoon and head back home Sunday morning. My dream is to one day make content for KZfaq full-time. That would be awesome. Then, I could step up my recording and editing skills to make truck camper/travel documentaries. Until then, the majority of my time belongs to my Monday through Friday job.

We vacationed last year and took our trailer to Mackinaw City. We stayed at the KOA. Quiet until the last day, some biker rally started. We went the first week of June. We took a day trip to the UP. We saw both upper and lower falls in Tahquamenon Falls State Park and we went to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and Lighthouse on Whitefish Point. They had the bell of the Edmond Fitzgerald which sunk not far from there. I thought there would be more of it there but it was a small exhibit. Most of the museum was other ships that sank. Very cool to see it. In the 1800’s there were over 2000 freighters on the Great Lakes. Today there is just over 500 since the ships are much bigger. Great video!

I just unmothballed my truck and camper from winter storage. The truck has issues so I unloaded my AF992. First project was to replace the fuel level sensor. That was a stinky, messy job but I accomplished it last Friday. Next was to replace a glow plug that threw a code: P0674 (cylinder 4) Next was to resurface the brake rotors which are slightly warped from excessive heat. I’m getting ready for my first camping trip, but I don’t know when or where that will be.
