U know there’s that small, core group of ignorant (or those that just don’t care) people that are always going to ignore the right thing thing to do & those are the ones who hold humanity back! Thanks for these great tips & also for going above & beyond in picking up lazy people’s trash!

[holmesfamily]

Thanks for the tips.. I would recommend that you bring up the Big difference between construction generators, and the new smart smooth wave whisper quite generators.

[dalesearcy]

I totally agree with your rule #5!!!
There will always be trash heads that don't care and leave their trash behind, when they leave.
I have taught my Kids to clean up after others, where ever we are.
It is a good practice and it makes you feel good when do it.

Very good info - I will definitely download the app. Trash is a big one for us aswell. We always grab a bag and end up cleaning up trash that others have left. The only time I have broken the generator rule was in Winnemucca. The temps where below freezing at night and we had to fire up around 3 - 4 am to charge up the batteries. The only other campers were far from us.

I think it ridiculous that we gotta tell people to pick up after themselves. Great information Micheal

[zamfully]

I’m an experienced boondocker simply looking for ideas. These five tips are important please take them seriously.

[KreativeFreedom]

Good man picking up the trash! Sending best wishes from our home on wheels to yours! One of these days, let's adventure!

[LivingTheGoodLifeRving]

Thank you for the tips we will definitely keep this in mind when we get out on the road

[OurNationalAdventure]

You definitely learn from your mistakes. Crazy stories!! (But somehow you seem to gather them while full time♡) These are Great tips! We like campendiem and free roam for our spots. Side note- that's a really big/busy area.

Downloaded the app on your recommendation thanks it’s great!

[tekmantoo]

Thanks for the tips. I just downloaded the app based on your recommendation.

Sorry you got ripped off in Stockton! Probably one of the highest crime rates of cities in California. So, your advice on researching location is vital! Great common sense advice for first time boondockers. Thank you!!!

[dennisw.truman]

I use a cpap machine at night and have to use a inverter generator to use it.

[Customers_support]

Ya stockton is a red flag! But 6 or 7? Na let’s roll until 830

[mikeclayton]

You should post your check list for us that way I have something to go off of when we start.

[rachelmcquirk]

Great tips, especially #5! 😆Forgetting to fill the tanks. We forgot to fill our water once - it was when we were camping with y'all at Pariah but the water was literally right there, thankfully.

[sean]

Great tips. I’m always saddened by how many people there are that are so inconsiderate of their neighbors. The generator issue is made worse by the folks that buy cheap open frame construction generators that are twice as loud as the inverter generators that are recommended for Boondocking. It really boils down to treat others as you wish to be treated.

[DoMoreHappy]

Great intro and great boondocking tips Michael! 👍😎🚍

Nick and Nate Diaz lives there !!!! (MMA Pro Fighters) Stockton, CA !!! It's survival of the fittest in them "Rough I'm sure the word got out when they seen you got stuck...

As far as being a prime target for these. If they stare down the barrel of a 12 gauge it's not a problem. A 12 gauge will blow a person in half it's amazing. Be armed and prepared
