    I got sober 42 years ago. It was one of the best decisions in my life. Life isn’t that easy, but facing it sober is the real thing! I’m glad you’re encouraging others. It’s worth it.

    For anyone curious about this, I worked for these dunes for 5 years. It is only $10 a night but you can only stay 30 days out of the year, and only 2 weeks consecutively with a 48 hour leave inbetween. This will include Northbeach and Oceano Campground as all 3 campgrounds are linked. Their system tracks your License plate. It's not like the golden days unfortunately where you could quite literally live out there indefinitely if you were smart enough
    Also you are correct in assuming you can camp out inside the dunes

Many of us turn to vices to escape, and if I can help people find the lives they’re supposed to live, I think I can make a positive impact on this world.

    Im in Morro bay now, but, when I first moved here, I had the exact same setup and did the exact same thing. I had a campershell on my pickup, wired in some deepcycle batteries with solar for my electricity and just stayed in Oceano Dunes as much as possible. It was such a cool experience! Just to share: I worked for Sundbuggy Fun Rentals right there. I learned that the owner started there the same way! He lived out on the dunes and started with 1 buggy that he would rent. Now he has a massive fleet. Thanks for sharing this cool video!

I love how you’re going for what’s important for Your Joy in life…I believe you will be instrumental in helping men transform their lives for the better!!! See if the area you choose to have your retreat has a “Land Bank” or similar program…With a little elbow grease (and paying someone for work you can’t do yourself), you can buy a home(s) and property(ies) outright, no mortgage/no rent!!! That in and of itself is a beauty life my friend…Keep on pushing on living a life of Freedom!!! 😎

    Yep, California beaches belong to the people. Though there are some beaches that are set as no camping. Pismo may go no camping because so many young people leave so much trash on the beach. I can’t imagine leaving trash on a beach. I don’t know what those people are thinking. When you’re off roading, don’t fly over the dunes at 50+, there have been so many deaths from crushed sternums because they land on the next dune that is going up, and slam chest on into the front of their bike at full speed. Also fourwheelers roll over on people out here because they go around the side of a dune at a steep angle. I had to go to the hospital for a surgery once, and they were like “Oh look someone who doesn’t have a dune biking injury”.

      %@@RavenAngelfire it still I'd MORe than $200 no matter how you sliver ut. That's $150 for tge pass then unless he only spends 5 nights at #10/night there's your $200. It's 3rd grade math!! And , NO, it WAS NOT all explained by saying , I don't spend every night there. I just get tired of misleading clickbait. SOME of us can do really fast math in our heads, no calculators required.

      Thanks for joining the journey with me! You mentioned drinking a lot of beer. Is that because you would like to change that habit? I’m just realizing the way I can make my bit of impact on the world. Still figuring out how I can help others begin along this path, but I can at least share some of what worked for me if you are seeking a new direction.

      It’s a state park, fully staffed with thousands of visitors a week… I keep all of my national forest sites and other discoveries a secret so they don’t get ruined like so many of my old spots in CO. Haven’t broken any rules. They have all records. Plenty of others have done this before me. They have literally reached out to me as a result of this vid and told me “good job, I did the same thing when I moved here”
      I do appreciate the time you took to watch the vid and drop some positive vibes in the comments 😁 and I get what you’re saying, it’s just not quite as you assume.

    good for you man, I'm glad there are people take the leap and pivot in life. I am there now and considering different options. Stay safe and continue and consider buying land for $5-10K in different states and forests. I am sure you would enjoy it.

    • @BookOfMikeG
      @BookOfMikeG  4 місяці тому

      🙏 I try to approach life like a puzzle - define my desired outcome, then figure out how to use the resources I have available to achieve that outcome… if you’re considering a pivot or alternate lifestyle, the outcome of reverse-engineering your desired outcome could be of value.
      I’ve looked all over… if I get this land, it’s because I could host gatherings to help men get sober and fit… it’s a half-day from LA and San Francisco, providing access to millions… I’m still seeking and searching… I’ve got places I really like in CO, where I lived for nearly a decade. I’m just sick of the Winters. Really don’t want to go back to the Midwest or South… this puzzle is exciting and interesting.

      I just passed 11-months alcohol-free myself and I know I’ll never go back.
      Thank you for your kind world 😁
      I think there is so much positivity we can find in life, and I hope to inspire others in many ways.
      I’m about to travel cross-country and I’ve found a piece of remote land in the mountains of Colorado, where I lived for 9-years that I plan to purchase.
      Soon, I’ll be creating content about building a tiny home and living a fulfilling life without a mortgage or traditional job.
      There are different ways than most of us know, but we are in a time where the same jobs and hours our parents and grandparents worked will not produce the same outcomes, so I’ve decided to pursue freedom as a puzzle to solve instead of trading the rest of my life as a university graduate following a path barely affording to own a mortgage and retire broke.
      Thanks again for taking the time to watch my video and leave a comment. It means a lot to me 🙏

      I’m honored to be an inspiration to a person who took his athleticism and sport to the highest level. I subscribed to your UA-cam. Would love to see you start creating content along this journey… there is a great story here and showing your evolution over the coming years would be valuable and inspirational to possibly millions with enough work on content.
      I know the feeling of letting myself go. It’s an amazing feeling when you are back on track also!
      I just posted a video that is very relevant to your point in the journey… I’m sure you understand it is not that you need to drop 60-lbs real quick to feel better, but rather, your lifestyle must evolve and that the physique will evolve consistently with it while you develop new habits and a new life that become a part of you forever.

    I click on this because I was positive you were at the Pismo dunes. I go 4x4 there it is the beach in California you can drive on. Yes you can camp any were there as long as you are past the first set of restrooms. You can camp at any Walmart parking lot for at lest 3days at a time legally. I only live 10 to 15 miles from the front entrance from Pismo. You can also get a state camping pass and stay at any state property /land forest with the pass .💯👍👌✌️🫡
