Some National Forest and blm have developed or semi-developed camps for really cheap as well
We started campsite camping last year but readying or vehicle for over landing. Since we are complete noobs this type of info is essential for peace of mind. I’m gonna have to do some more homework in this but definitely appreciate you and ppl alike.
Only difference is keeping your gear light, fast, and in systems; especially within groups so, ready to roll. Otherwise, it’s all camping. There is some really nice heavy gear for staying in one spot, but overlanding wise think backpacking, lighter the better for gas mileage. And you could go on and on and on.
Good god there people rocking anime profiles and also I to overlanding? The internet has made some interesting folks. Me included
Consider traveling with a trolley that folds. I like to put everything I need for a Oceanside beach setup into one trolley with giant sand wheels. Carrying all that stuff really takes the pleasure out of locating near the ocean. A trolley with all of your cooking or sitting by a fire pit is also very helpful.One trip pulling the little red wagon is a lot better than loading your arms and your friends down with all the carry stuff. Be nice and don't use grandma's wheelchair-- that's for her.
I would absolutely love a campsite with fellow peeps blasting EDM. XD
I love your channel! I’m in the east, where aerial photographs of wilderness areas are just an unbroken tree canopy. I wonder if those apps would do me any good.
Hadn't thought of that. Try the free version of GAIA or the free onX one month trial. But either way, you really should have some kind of offline GPS navigation when you're off-the-grid
I use Gaia and, Locus maps for my off road mapping. When I'm looking for potential campsites while at home, I export my route and import it to Google Earth for the high def satellite views (Gaia's is pretty dismal). Having my route in Google Earth makes it easy to follow and scout the surrounding area for campsites.
Agreed, GAIA satellite resolution is pretty disappointing in comparison. I used to do what you said but stopped since the extra step just didn't yield enough payoff in my case. But, I can certainly understand the need to do that in some cases.
What a great subject to cover. I do have ONX Maps in my Garmin Monatan that I use for finding public water when fly fishing. I never thought about using it for finding camping sites.
Thanks for watching another one! I had no idea onX was available on Garmin devices.
@@ggg4runner Yep, it is micro SD card for the Garmin GPS. Garmin also has their own version, Hunt View, another called Outdoor Maps with annuals for various areas as well as a Trailhead series. They have a huge selection of maps, including raster maps, high definition relief shading etc. I think there base subscription is only $49.95 a month too. Last time updated OnX it was $99.00.
Great video! Love to see some onX tutorials. I’ve used it to a limited extent and have taken one of their online tutorials. Would like to see some more real-world use. Already learned some watching this vid.
Where did you get that nerf beat target? 🎯
I'll add that to the video to-do list!
You mean Bear? Affiliate link: amzn.to/3Ge5imc
He's a cool prop but it's a really shitty game honestly, the foam ball gun thingy is terrible.
@@ggg4runner Thanks! I’ve got some quality nerf guns that’ll work 😜
Yeah all those lands whtat were not Tahoe Natl Forest are the Sierra Pacific Industries (lumber co. )
They trying to checkmate the public land
New to Overlanding. Thank you for this, very informative and helpful.
There are a lot of gold prospecting clubs for a small yearly fee which includes camping.
Great informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your videos. Thanks to you I am learning how to use
my Gaia GPS! Being technology challenged it is really hard for me. Before using any of these apps I study my state paper Topo maps.
You should have titled this video asmr tutorial on finding dispersed camping😁
😆 should I whisper in the next how to video
@ggg4runner That would make it complete but the way this video went, you're already there. You had a soft voice going combined with the mouse clicking on the computer and no bavkground noise, it was as asmr it could get without you even trying.😁
Great information as as always, keep up the good work!
That was Boss bruddah...hPpy trails
Camping in china lake would be a blast
Yes! Would be great if you did a training on Onyx ;) thanks!
I finally unsubbed onX because I just don't use it enough
Thanks! Totally dig the series on the maps.
What are those boots?? Them look super comfortable
Lems Boulder Boot (waterproof version) which are zero drop with wide toe box. I switched to zero drop shoes a while ago and it's one of the couple "normail looking" boots I found. Something about most zero drop shoes having to look ugly/weird like electric cars or something. And, they're on sale right now! Yes they are comfy and did not need breaking in.

@ggg4runner whats the sizing like bigger smaller ?
Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. I'm looking forward to elevating our camping experience this year with everythiing I've learned here.
Thanks for watching!
To the point. Very well done.
Awesome thanks!
title should be here is my commercial for on x offroad.
shut the front door!🤣
Super handy. Subscribed! Thanks!
Thanks for watching and subbing!
Thank you
I just tell my co pilot to figure it out and it usually works lol
I'd probably end up at a KOA if I relied on that 🤣
Boss, how are you? We miss the videos.
Lost the motivation to make videos lately
Great video Roger, but I gotta call you out on one thing: Early in the video you tell us not to camp within 200 ft. of fresh water sources, then proceed to show us camping spots on the shore of a lake! I know that Tread Lightly has that as a rule, but there are so many campsites on the water, not to mention lots of ‘famous’ UA-cam overlanders that love to camp right on a river or a lake. I’m ok with that, but keep all human waste at least 200 ft. away from water.
Also, I would love a couple of videos on OnX & Gaia, probably three of them. One to show the differences between the two, and one each to show step-by-step on how to use each one. I have both, but tend to use OnX much more, as it’s less complicated and more user friendly. But many swear by Gaia, and I really haven't found a good tutorial on it that simplifies it a bit. Thanks for posting!
You can easily be 200 ft from the lake in those spots but I get what you're saying.
Not sure if you've seen my older video that has a lot of GAIA specific stuff in it ua-cam.com/video/IBhZHAc-KK4/v-deo.html The UI of the mobile app was updated recently but the guts are still the same and the web interface is still the same. I was planning on doing the comparison video sometime in December and adding an onX guide to my to-do list. Maybe I'll do an updated GAIA guide after those.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy Turkey Day!
Somehow I missed that video, but just watched it. That one definitely hit the spot! I know there’s much more to Gaia, but that was pretty much what I needed to know to make it a useful tool for me. Thanks again!
@@jimstoneman1732 That’s the bulk of how I use GAIA other than using more layers sometimes and the critical but time consuming task of organizing all those the waypoints/routes in folders
What are your thoughts on TrailsOffroad?
I've never actually tried it but it seems really limited in what it can actually do for the subscription price. Maybe it has more comprehensive information as far as user opinions, rating and other info on 'known" off road trails than onX? I'm not sure. But from what I've seen of it in videos, it seems that I can't really plan an entire trip with it, just look up and navigate 'known" trails, which doesn't suit my needs.
@@ggg4runner - I'm trying to avoid having subscriptions to all of them at once. Narrowing it down to just one or two is the plan, so that is definitely some good info to consider. Thank you for the great content and the quick response!
@@paleh0rse Oh for sure, I totally get that. I wish all my shows were on the same streaming service 😂
They are excellent...they really break down the trails that you might want to run because they actually drive them and then write up an in-depth review. They aren't as good as OnX or layers on Gaia for finding campsites tho. They are a lot cheaper so it's a good supplement.
Good video bud.
Thanks 👍
Such great stuff!
Thanks!
Yeah blasting edm music. 🙄
How can you rag on google maps for not having detailed off-road trails, when it’s not made for that. The talking highly of off-road apps, which obviously are made for that 🤦🏻♂️. Your do’s & dont’s make you sound like a willful slave.
My favorite thing about dispersed camping is that there are no rules, we can do anything we want without a neighbor calling the cops because we have the bathroom light on after 10pm.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE WELL PRODUCED AND EDITED. VERY HELPFU.. THANKS
Thanks. Did you really learn this on your own or did Bear teach you everything you know??
😂 I'm the prop, Bear is the real deal
Unfortunately as the years pass more and more people will be dispersing and more of nature will get ruined and closed up. UA-cam isn’t helping this situation when creators are giving away areas and spots. Just had to rant…thanks for the video.
Yeah I hate when people enjoy nature too. I'd rather them all be in buildings and working. The thought of another human around wild life sicknes me.
Lmao, love the sarcasm
Alternatively, maybe if more people fall in love with nature there will be more pressure to preserve it 🤷
@@DustyBootMcGee Yeah nah. People are garbage who destroy everything they come in contact with
@@reikibomb8036 Most dispersed campers are nomadlanders and drug addicts who shit all over your precious environment
