Scaring Myself A Creepy Night Truck Camping

Join Kenny of All Trades as he embarks on a creepy night of truck camping adventure! Watch as he braves the spookiness of the great outdoors in this hair-raising camping experience. #TruckCamping #Boondocking #Camping

This week, Toby and I got a late start as we headed into the Foot Hills State Forest. I decided to take a few trails that I've never been on. It was fun pushing the limits of the rig. I had so many awesome video opportunities, however, every time I stopped to put up the camera I would end up blocking the trail, making myself a hazzard for passers-bys on ATVs. Being a one man show isn't always easy when trying to record. I think it would be a blast to explore these trails on a weekday. The weekends definitely bring out the crowds. The good news is most people in the forest were only trail riding, so I was able to find an empty remote campsite tucked in the trees surrounded by rolling hills.
It was a quiet remote campsite. The sounds of crows during the day and owls at night were the only signs of life. Supper was excellent, but the night came so quickly and I didn't feel like eating at 11, so I packed it up for leftovers.
My mind started to play tricks on me later that night. As I was walking down the camper steps to sit by the fire I heard a low growling voice say "Hay...Hay!" I was taken back for a second before realizing the sound was coming from my stomach. I guess my brain didn't want to eat the prok chops as much as my stomach did.
As I walked towards the fire I could hear a deer in the woods. It made that sneezing sound deer make when they become alarmed. Unfortunately by the time I pressed record the deer was gone. That's when the sounds of the empty forest became amplified. Every acorn drop, every shrue scampering across the forest floor, sounded like a herd of elephants about to crash into my campsite. It's truly funny how our brain can play tricks on us. All the sound could be explained with rational explanations, but I was still on edge.
That's when i decided to take a walk down the forest trail. I get joy out of pushing myself out of my comfort zone. In the back of my mind, I knew walking down that trail at midnight was safer than walking through most walmarts at 6 pm. But there's something about walking through a forest at midnight that makes you feel alive.
If you stick around for the entire video, you heard the news about Mandi, her son Conner, and me moving in together. I'm super excited about the next chapter in our lives. It was nice to have supper ready for her Sunday night when she got home from work. She said the porkchops in the mushroom sauce was excellent. 👌
Thanks for following along on the adventure. Toby and I will see you again next week.

Pro Tip: Whenever you pull into a camp site, always point your rig towards the exit. I have my Cane Corso with me, and a side arm. The only creature I am worried about when boondocking is of the two legged variety. I also prepare for a sudden egress by facing my rig towards the way out. Stay safe brother. 💪🏾🤙🏾💯

Hi Kenny! My 12 year old boy was having a crappy day today. Moody and challenging. So I gave him a little time to himself and then invited him to snuggle on the couch with me to watch some of your videos. Cheered us both right up. He thinks you are very cool and loved watching you cook. :) Thank you for putting something good into the world - something that is honest and brings peace into our day.

17:36 Toby is precious. I was so glad when he became yours & I feel so much better when he is with you. I know he loves it. I can imagine how sad he would be to see that truck pull out to go camping, leaving him home

I had large rocks thrown at me while in my camper while solo camping last November. No trees were above my camp area either. One stone was a baseball size conglomeration of pebbles, small rocks, and clay. I wouldn’t have thought of it as creepy except for the ungodly scream screech I heard prior to it. And no, it wasn’t anything I’ve ever heard in 63 years of the outdoors. I was alone, midweek, in the middle of nowhere.

I enjoy your videos. The reason I subscribe to your channel is because I love how you love Toby and how well you care for him. That speaks how kind your heart is. God Bless You

Kenny you always make me nervous when you go for a walk late at night . Wolf and black bears roaming around. You and Toby stay safe.

[greggaser]

Kenny I just did something that you taught me, we were at a lake in ca. we were the only ones there beautiful, we noticed too mush trash around so we decided to pick up the whole camp ground . All because of you, thanks buddy

Ahh, the Bob Ross of camping & King Toby. Good times.

Our Black Lab gets so excited when she sees Toby on your videos.
Thank you for sharing.

Kenny and Toby, our Tuesday evenings are spent watching you and Toby living your adventures. Our little pup, ChaChi, watches Toby close and considers him a Super Star! Your cooking is amazing. Thank you for sharing with us all! Bless you Kenny!

Ominous music starting at 17:50, I love it!! Gets your entire audience ramped up! Ha! Stay safe Kenny. Thanks for the awesome videos as always! Larry.

Reminds me of growing up in the summer's in Michigan. Glad to see you and Toby out there so much. I just lost my 7-1/2 year old blue pit 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Only got to take him camping one time. Love your content and information you provide to all of us. Thank you!!

Toby has his own camping chair. Everyone is happy and comfortable.

[natalielebron]

You completely unnerve me with these night walks very scary!! May the lord Jesus keep you safe

Everyone know what time it is? Kenny and Toby

I definitely think the one nighters are worth it. Did that myself this past weekend next to the CT River at a State Park in VT. I got my teardrop for that reason. Lots of acorns too. Congratulations on the news with Mandy!

[RebeccaDoyle-qjpe]

I could not camp alone like that. Too scary. I would love to do it but…….so glad you’re having fun.

I grew up on the farm, and was never too much bothered by the silence. Then I moved to the city with the traffic, neighbors, and occasional gunshots, and now the silence creeps me out. Sometimes I have to run a fan or other 'white noise' just to drown out the strange sounds of silence. I like to shine a bright flashlight across the pasture and count the eyes staring back at me... (that's creepy, too).

Just wanted to say that about 3 years ago, I decided to get a camper. After 1 1/2 years of deliberations, I decided on a truck camper and watching your videos definitely helped me decide on getting the Arctic Fox brand of truck camper. I sold my truck (F250) and got an F350 dually. It ended up being my Christmas present to myself. Last month I finally got my truck camper, I got an 1150 and I'm so happy with it. I've spent 1 weekend camping in it so far, but now I have to wait to get a skid wheel for my Torklift Super Truss so I don't scrape it coming and going out of my driveway. I'll be camping soon enough for the fall season and absolutely cannot wait!
Take care and keep the videos coming. Maybe I'll see you down the road 😁
Congratulations to you and Mandy moving in together! 🎉
