"17 inches from a 40 foot fifth wheel with seven satellite dishes on it" 😂😂😂 that's hilarious because it's so accurate in some of those RV campgrounds. great slow mo shots of Hank. great vid!
Just a note...for national forest lands, you'll be far better served to go to the smaller, district offices on the forest you're visiting. Regional offices for national forests are not equipped to give you detailed info that a district office can, and are often located far, far, far from any actual forest lands. Even the headquarters office for a specific forest might often not actually be within the forest boundaries, but every forest is divided into districts, and district offices are full of the folks who actually work and patrol the land. By way of example, the regional office for the Forest Service's Region 5 (all of California) is in the bustling Bay Area city of Vallejo, for Region 8 (forests in the southern states), it's in Atlanta.
Nothing like camping alone. My most peaceful moments. I feel at one with nature and God. After 3 weeks alone it was a bit awkward when I came back to reality and the rat race.
Great video! The "Jeep" symbol on the post at the gate means the road is "recommended" for high clearance vehicles (read that as not cars) even though I see people scraping bottom down these kind of roads all the time lol. Some of the "trail markers will have a "car" symbol. The bottom "ATV/Quad" symbol means only plated street legal vehicles are allowed.
I just subbed. I appreciate your content. Straight forward, right to the point and informative. I love the fact that you link everything in the description. Keep it up.
Thanks so much for showing the information for the gate! I would have never thought to look for that recreational post. Whenever I've seen a closed gate I've always drove past it.
Just wondering where the spot is that you did this video. I’m 60 years old, I’ve been dispersed camping most of my life . I’ve e been wondering about eastern plains dispersed camping now that I live in the Denver area (I lived in Summit County for 25 years prior). It looks like an ideal spot for me and my dog.
I too enjoyed the video. I'm a newbie, but I do have my camper built to my liking and am looking to learn more about dispersed camping. Thanks for the info!!
Looking to do some dispersed camping in my truck in or around Pagosa Springs also wanting to do some OHVing in the general area. Any good places to go I've never been to that area and would love any hidden gems with great mountain views? Thanks for all the great tips!
And you speak of being in an RV campground 17" from a 5th wheel with [several] satellite dishes. Well guess what Mr. Boondocker, if you want it, Starlink is about to become available for (basically) anyone in North America...no matter how remote. And, it will be coming available for the entire globe, except the polar regions, post haste.
Great video, another subscription for you sir! i do have one question, what is the location of the site? i did look for “forest service road 500” but no luck, the area in the first part of the video was familiar and i would love do some dispersed camping. thank you in advance!
I just found your channel & I'm eager to learn more about Dispersed camping. I'm wondering when it says open to jeeps & such... but doesn't specify campers - so is it only vehicle or tent camping?
Do you or have you heard of your camp getting broken into in Colorado while you are out for the day? I have have my stuff messed with twice in New Mexico and once in Southern Colorado when I'm out riding my bike all day.
Could you bring a medium-large camping trailer to these places? Is that against the rules? Also how would a trailer handle with some of the back roads you've seen? 😎👍
Great video and not sure if your still answering questions. I live in NJ and I’m looking to do nomadic living full time. I was wondering if it’s possible to jump from BLM land in one state for a year. Like stay 14 days where you filmed this video and than spend another 14 in the mountains two hours away and another 14 days at another location. Is this possible. If so, I’m looking for a state that has the most BLM land, so I can create my circuit .
Not OP, but if I recall, you can only go back to a spot you already used after 28 days. so just two cycles and you should be able to go back to your first spot.
Bears and mountain lions. I’m terrified of them. Whenever i meet other people to camp with they don’t bother me but if I’m trying to plan a trip for myself i psych myself out over bears. Do you carry a gun? Bear spray? When you say put the food away do you just leave it in the truck? These things just really worry me
If you encounter “a livestock” don’t let your guard down. Even though it LOOKS like a cow, it could be “ManBearPig” in disguise:) Also glad you covered “how to get through a gate”.😆
What is the allure of that campsite you are at? Flat, no trees, and nothing to do around you? Boonkdocking out in the middle of a pasture just baffles me. IMO...
It’s a great place to hunt, also, it’s far away from crowded RV sites, I prefer solitude anyday. About 50 miles west is the peak of the Rockies, I didn’t feel like driving that far out for the video as this was close to the house. Many people traveling and need a free overnight stop in these BLM areas too for a free night away from parking lots and cities. Just different strokes for different folks IMO....
It was an interesting place to pick for a campsite. Stars are probably pretty awesome at night. I think I still would have found a place close to a creek or spring. I've camped in a few places similar and it really feels like you're naked when you can see 10 miles in every direction.
The problem with these videos is poorly skilled, knowledge Instagram types will see it and try to partake. They burn their trash, leave toilet paper/human waste and trash everywhere. We end up losing access to boondocking because of their bad outdoor etiquette
Well, let's see, I'm a two-time AT through hiker and Boomer. So, unless you are boondocking with anything more than a 22 lbs backpack, I consider you driving your house around. I boondock in my converted mail truck step van and it is my home, full time. The AT or my cross country bike tour only last a season, my step van needs to house me year around for many, many years. I suggest rethinking that attitude.
@@chapter4travels read my post again, you may need glasses, one thing is boondocking in a van, pick up truck or suv and another is hauling a monstrosity
@@salemk.3098 Every single nomad is a minimalist, just to different degrees. There is no wrong way to do it, you are just being judgmental. My point is that a through hiker could be just as judgmental about you in a van. Get over yourself.
@@salemk.3098 I don't know or presume to know anything about the folks in big rigs, they might be the nicest people on the planet.

👍, Everyone, this is where freedom still reigns, please respect it for the whole team's sake.

Appreciate the feedback man 🤙
Bird dogs are such great companions. And they are uniquely beautiful to boot.
i just moved to fort collins!! I am a huuuuge hiker and want to get into camping! this video was very informative and i really appreciate it!
Glad to hear it! Get out there and explore!
Thanks so much for showing the information for the gate! I would have never thought to look for that recreational post. Whenever I've seen a closed gate I've always drove past it.
I noticed the gates along the road but could not read them so this was nice to see.
This made me nostalgic for dispersed camping in my T-100.
Well stated. I also boondock with our dog & she absolutely loves the freedom, as do I of course. Good times, brother.
Thanks for such a thorough easy-to-understand overview. The links are very helpful. I subcribed.
Very good info. I’m just getting started now on this lifestyle and am glad to have resources like this.
Watched this about a year ago and just today I randomly came across the same gate! Small world
Stay the trail. Obey signs. Know the boundaries so you're not on private property. Don't have open fires. Pack in, pack out.
Just found your sight good info and insight. You have a new subscriber and also thank you.
Great insight!
Those GSP love to run. Beautiful.

I live on Wyoming, Cheyenne to exact. I’m trying to get into BLM and public camping.
Thank you for sharing info.
You bet!
Are you on the grasslands in this video west of Springfield by Kim or Pritchett by chance?
I too enjoyed the video.
I'm a newbie, but I do have my camper built to my liking and am looking to learn more about dispersed camping. Thanks for the info!!
Welcome aboard!
Glad I found this video. Well done
Thanks!
Next video I want to see hank driving and you running along side the truck. :)🤔
It will be a short video

Nice GSHP. I liked the slo mo vid. LOL
He is a knucklehead!
Great video. Just found you as we are starting our outdoor time in our Tundra. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more!
Awesome! Thank you!
agree with you the solitude that's why we camp
Excellent video. Thanks
Just came across your page.
Thank you for posting. I found it very interesting. And also you have an amazing looking dog

Yup good job.
Good job! Thank you. Peace and Blessings

Learn how to release a trap and snare
Great video and great information and advice for this type of camping 👍
I just found your channel & I'm eager to learn more about Dispersed camping. I'm wondering when it says open to jeeps & such... but doesn't specify campers - so is it only vehicle or tent camping?
Good info. I will utilize BLM properties once in awhile. Do you have to bury your excrement?
"Cat sanitation" is permissible in lightly used areas with diggable soils. In high-use areas or rocky ground, pack it out.
Pet hank the shorthaire for me...great lookin dog....i had a female named koko.....best dog ever....smarter than most people🤓🤠😎✌✌✌
Great video!!
Thanks for the intel
Great video, thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you or have you heard of your camp getting broken into in Colorado while you are out for the day? I have have my stuff messed with twice in New Mexico and once in Southern Colorado when I'm out riding my bike all day.
I’ve informative post …Ty…👍
Do you have a satellite of starlink?
Love it love it love it.
Where he said, cost nothing. But mentioned fishing, you definitely need a permit for that.
Wow amazing dog.. go go go faster and faster.. nice buddy dude dog
Thanks for the tips. Super helpful. Question: Do you just keep food locked up in your truck when in bear country?
No .. bad idea
Hang it from a tree or just plain store it outside away from yourself \ others
Love it! Just found you, excellent!
Thanks!
Can you disperse camp in a regular sedan? Is that allowed?
Good review.
Could you bring a medium-large camping trailer to these places? Is that against the rules? Also how would a trailer handle with some of the back roads you've seen? 😎👍
dont be that guy
Grizzly bears in Colorado? I thought those weren't in the state anymore
They can't read maps
When the hell did it become "dispersed" camping? And what does that even mean????
Is it ok to urinate and dedicate in the brush?

A different person had as cooler they locked and left outside
Not saying she knew best....
Hank rules.

Remember that trappers are trapping coyotes on these lands so keep a close eye on your dogs
That’s good info thanks

Hey....is there a physical map for BLM camping sites that is downloadable and printable?
Stop by a BLM office. Free paper maps
👍👍
What kind of dog is Hank?
Link to Apps For Dispersed Camping: doesn't work
🏁👍🦅

I agree. Young millennia punks destroy these areas
Leave everything better than you found it.
Its crazy how you can have the freedom to do what you want on disperse camps but land you buy is controlled.
How about a firearm
12:40
I think he was eaten by a grizzly
FF to 1:20. Why youtubers think watching them drive down a road is entertaining is beyond me.
it’s funny when boomers drive their house around
