    Never go camping out into the wilds and deep woods without a weapon a gun preferred, at minimum an 8" survival knife or machete. I use a sensor-activated intruder alarm and a garden solar motion-activated light too. I also have a couple of loud firecrackers that if I hear any menacing movement outside I light one up and shout "fire in the hold" throw it outside "BANG!!! things quiet down after that.

    I live in TX and as big as it is, there is very little public land here. Most land is private property. I love to go to CO, UT, NM and other western states that have vast amounts of public land. I miss not having that in TX. Thank you for the video. It is very helpful for me as I am looking at these types of trailers. I agree that setting things up (and tearing down) with tents, etc. is very time consuming and I hate that part of tent camping, not to mention other things (uneven ground, water running under the tent when it rains, etc.).

      I think any trailer or setup that gets you out camping is the best setup. I personally prefer the wood interior of the Hiker and the closed off galley with shelving when comparing the two manufacturers. We feel like the wood interior makes it our cozy cabin on wheels and feels less sterile. I'm sure the Runaway's are a great quality budget option as well. Both trailers fit the main advantage I talk about in the video. The less installed options, the less likely for anything major to go wrong.

      We have had ours for 2 years and it has held up great! We are also very hard on our trailer, we exclusively camp in remote dispersed campsites all on dirt roads to moderate off-roading. Maintenance is extremely easy as there are very few installed components. Our electrical has been perfect, box and frame have been perfect, beyond that you just need to re-grease the bearings once a year.

    • @desertpointadventures
      @desertpointadventures 5 місяців тому

      Unfortunately I don't like giving away our specific spots. However I'm always happy to help people learn my research method. My primary tools for locating campsites are OnX-OffRoad maps, Google Maps and the forest service website maps. Coconino NF has a bit more restrictions on dispersed camping so you need to look at their maps for the season and reference the dispersed camping corridors. Within these corridors you are able to dispersed camp (in a vehicle) up to 300 feet off a designated route, where as everywhere else in the forest is limited to 30 feet off a forest road. (Don't quote me on the ladder it could be less but definitely not more). If you have any additional questions feel free to ask.

I was inside getting stuff organized. I Started hearing some guy yelling nonsense. My hubby came inside and retrieved his gun and went back outside. The dogs were barking their heads off but I got them to pipe down. Could hear the guy yelling and getting closer. My husband steps out of darkness and asked what the heck he wanted. He was mumbling about looking for Amanda. Hubby convinced him to leave.

      @@BrianD-KS For sure, Onxmaps has been a great tool in combination with each lands managing website. Whenever we're researching new places, I go to the Forest Service website (or blm) and look for a "dispersed camping" tab. This will usually tell you the rules of the area, sometimes from there you need to look at the forest map to determine dispersed camping corridors. For almost all National Forest lands they state dispersed camping is allowed in the entire forest, however vehicle use is limited to designated roads and a certain amount of distance from the road.

    I was on a solo kayak trip in Arkansas one time in a dispersed area of Weyerhaeuser owned forests along the Cossatot River and had rolled in late so just threw out my sleeping bag on the ground in a clearing. In the wee hours I awoke to hear a p/u rolling down the road with some apparent drunks hoopin' and hollerin'. Too tired to worry I just rolled my bag over into some tall grass and went back to sleep. Fortunately they rolled on out w/o incident but did make me a tad nervous. But in the 30+ yrs. I've been camping in odd places all over the U.S. that's the only situation of concern I've encountered. Knock on wood. Enjoy your travels!

      So it's definitely limiting, especially in more populated areas. For the most part we choose activities we can have the dogs with us. This particular wedding we were working the couple knew we could only work if the dogs were close to us at all times (this is not a typical ask for us) so we had them stay in the car within sight and ran the car with AC until the temperature dropped in the evening. Overall we camp in remote dispersed campsites so the dogs can join in all our daily activities.
