This week I head into a State Forest to find peace and quiet on this Memorial Day weekend. I went through two campgrounds before entering the forest. One was completely full, the other had a few spots open but only because the sites were horribly unlevel. As I drove through the campground the sounds of generators and chainsaws filled the air. Campers were stacked like cordwood on top of each other. People staired at my truck as I drove through the campground. It was at that point when I realized why I prefer finding a spot in the forest. I’m not saying my style of camping is best, it works best for me. My sister has a pull behind camper, she preferers campgrounds. I am surprised how empty the State Forest was. I only saw one other camper and a few ATV’s. Thanks for coming along on this week’s adventure. I’ll see you down the road.

Cold Weather Problems in the Truck Camper
This video is part-two, a continuation from last week’s video. I’m still in the St. Croix State Park and I’m still the only one here. Join along as I explore the grounds and do a little maintenance to the generator.
Every weekend in the Truck Camper is a win in my book. Hopefully we won’t have snowstorm or blizzard anytime soon so I can stay truck camping. Thanks for coming along on the adventure.
Thanks for coming along on this little trip with me!

No fishing, no camping, then the truck camper gets stuck.
In this week’s video I set out to go fishing and find a private little camping spot. I found a private spot alright; it was really quiet.
Within the last three days I started hearing frogs at night. That marks the beginning of the sucker run, so I headed to a couple of my favorite rivers. The wet and windy weather made for poor fishing, it actually made everything a struggle.
I didn’t catch any fish and finding a camping spot was almost impossible. I decided to setup camp on a piece of private hunting land. The land was super wet. The frost went out a few days ago leaving the ground saturated. Check out the video to see how the adventure unfolds.
Thanks to everyone who proved me wrong last week by reading the description of the video. It was cool to see that people are actually looking at this. Thank you for following along and I’ll see you next week.

This will be part one of my two-part adventure in St. Croix State Park located in Minnesota. I had a blast! The park was empty, and it was a beautiful weekend. Temperatures were close to 50 degrees so I didn’t even need a coat! I’m thankful for my opportunity to bring you with on my adventure. Hopefully we won’t have snowstorm or blizzard anytime soon so I can stay truck camping. Thanks for coming along on the adventure. Thanks for stopping by.

Truck Camping with the Rottweiler
In this week’s video Mandi, her dog Tilli and I headed out for a weekend of winter camping. We stayed at the Rock Lake Campground. It is part of the Pilsbury State Forest. We had a great time. The temperatures never got about 15 degrees and we stayed nice and toasty. Hopefully we won’t have snowstorm or blizzard anytime soon so I can stay truck camping. Thanks for coming along on the adventure.

Winter Truck Camping in the SNOW
This week I headed Southeast to Banning State Park. My first night I was searching for campsites and stayed overnight in a truck stop. The snow is putting a cramp on my abilities to get in the woods. This was an amazingly beautiful hike. The snow is deep, but it makes the woods magical. Every weekend in the Truck Camper is a win in my book. Hopefully we won’t have snowstorm or blizzard in January so i can get back to truck camping. Thanks for coming along on the adventure.

Cold Weather Truck Camping
This week I stayed at the Maplewood State Park near Pelican Rapids Minnestoa. I stayed overnight in the truck camper and the park was empty. The weather forecast was calling for warmer temperatures all week, but Mother Nature had different plans. It was cold, windy and the snow started falling around 2am Sunday night. I tried my hand at making ribs in the Dutch oven. They turned out great, however I had to sacrifice half the rack to the campfire gods. I hiked through the woods looking for a prime location to put a camera to observe the northern lights but wasn’t able to get a clear shot of the horizon. I jumped on the bike to check further away but came up empty handed. It was all good though, the snow would have made the lights impossible to see. The weather channel is calling for snowstorms and blizzard conditions this week. Next week’s video might be interesting. Thanks for coming along on this week’s adventure. I’ll see ya down the road.

Truck Camping in Winter
This week I’m taking you Truck Camping in a remote Minnesota State Park. It was super quiet; I was the only one in the entire park. It was a beautiful weekend, and the scenery was amazing. I made a custom hanging stand over the campfire and smoked a tomahawk steak. It was a one of my best campfire cooking experiments yet. I really appreciate that you followed along on this week’s travels. Ill see you again down the road.

Truck Camper Tour / Arctic Fox / Tips Tricks and Modifications
This week I’m taking you on a Truck Camper Tour of my 2004 Arctic Fox M860. I’m not a full-time Youtuber, a full-time RV’er or a full-time traveler. I’m just a regular guy busting my back working Monday through Friday so I can enjoy my weekends. A year and a half ago I decide to buy a GoPro and start documenting my travels. Since then, I have been introduced to some really cool viewers. I chat with so many of the same people every week in the comments you all are really starting to feel like friends. I know my traveling style is not for everyone. The upgrades I have done are to make weekend travel easy. With that said I do not buy expensive equipment seen on other channels. If that was the case, I would have to work more to pay for that stuff and I’d never have time off. I have a lot of van-life people, off grid living folks and fellow truck camping people who come along with me on my weekly travels. I have learned a lot from you all in the comments, so I really appreciate all the engagement. Next week the freezing temperatures are returning along with the possibility of a snowstorm or blizzard. We will see how those effects next week’s video!
