A Day in the Life: Full-Time RVer Weekend Getaway and Boondocking Tips and Etiquette! 

Your dog looked happy and free

As much fun as it is to watch your reviews and cooking shows, it is just as much fun to watch your affinity for boondocking and just relaxing. I hope everything turned out OK.

I have a fear aggressive dog for the exact same reason. I love that you are a responsible dog owner. I avoid crowded parks, and places with off leash big dogs due to both me and my dogs safety.

Your Basecamp is so cute. Glad the thumb injury wasn’t too bad. I like the Friday posting schedule! 🐶🐱

Sorry about your thumb, ouch! (please put some triple H ointment on it so no infection happens. Thanks for helping pick up trash, I also do that no matter where I go. I actually anticipate picking up trash on hikes but I sure wish people would stop littering to begin with. Have a wonderful day ight!

This channel is sunshine, joy and happiness.

I am really liking your RV...Basecamp? I plan to travel and live in my van but the more I see your rig, the more I am reconsidering my plans. Very enjoyable video and Jasper seems to love his freedom.

Hope the rest of the weekend is restful and there wasn't a lot of body damage as a result of the flat tire. Looking forward to your next video.

Just love that dog! The dog saved your life!!

When you love and respect Mother Earth it's hard to understand garbage and toilet paper left behind. Thanks for promoting responsible camping and clean up after those who trash our beautiful outdoors and being a great example to others! Stay safe!

I always enjoy your videos with all your tips and information thank you hope to see you out on the road safe travels my dear 🙏🏼❤️🤙🏼

Great for you as I do the same if I can burn it completely I burn it. If not I pack a trash bag out. If you see something amiss call the Forest Service or BLM there great. Last year I had them tow out abandoned car only took them 2 days. Great work FS 👍

Thanks for sharing! I hope Michael's RV didn't have too much damage.😬✌

Love me some afternoon camping naps lol

Yay!! Another video!! Love this!!

Define "day-off" for me. You guys just can't catch a break!

I found the piece of your thumb in my McDonald’s salad! Great job cleaning up the site. Good Karma

Why were you buying land? 🤔 Are you planning to live there?

ow! that looks like typing would be painful! Land prices/perceived prices are skyrocketing late 2020 to now ! In the past month I've had several places like Sothebys sending me snail mail telling me they have interested buyers for my land in CO. I've written back with a blanket response saying to make a fair offer and we'll see. Are you looking for 4 season or more seasonal land?

You are a sweetheart and I love to enjoy your channel. Your male friend is very lucky. Wish You The Best.

Bad news, I injured my thumb opening a bottle of wine, good news, you gotta full bottle of wine!

When you are on the road and working remotely what do you do for your WiFi connection?

What's happening

I'm a former 9-5 who recently just went remote. Ive only watched a couple of videos of yours but you're a hidden gem. Ive spent the last 2 months researching on rv living and your content is honest, thorough, and consice. Thank you !!

Darlin', if you'll take a little advice from an old "mountain man", when you're in bear country, your spray should be with you, or feet away, at all times. I ain't sayin', I'm just sayin'.

I hope all is well with our favorite Boondocker. No uploads in a while, at least here on YT. Everything Ok?

Hi Cass, my family loves your channel - great work and thanks for taking us along on your adventures! When out west in "the wild" we never go anywhere without bear spray after an incident that happened when our son was five years old. We pulled over in the middle of nowhere and my husband took him over to a tree to do his business maybe 15 yards from the car. He did not think to take the bear spray since it was just a quick pit stop so my son could water a tree - lol. Not 2 min later I hear my husband yelling. I go over to find my son on my husband's shoulders and a coyote in stalk mode. Once the coyote saw me approach he took one more look at my husband and son and then backed off and left. Happened so quickly. Now 12 years later we still tease our son about becoming a coyote appetizer 😆 and we always have bearspray on hand. Most likely the coyote was habituated and begging by the roadside (which is unfortunate) but we realized it could just as easily have been a bear or mountIn lion too. Safe travels to you, Jasper and Napoleon!

Jasper: "And I always clean my bowl better than I found it...especially when she puts chicken in there."😋

Have you thought about how your lifestyle is pretty close to a prepping lifestyle? Thx for your informative videos 🌻

Be careful out there I’m glad you found a ambition or dream I wish more people put there mind to doing things however your not invincible and there more predators then just the bears in the woods the “human kind can be just as dangerous”. If not more

I feel your pain Cas. I'm a Sr. Program Mgr. for Kaiser Permanente IT Enterprise Infrastructure. I have 2 major project going on, where some days I have back-to-back meetings from 7am-5pm non stop. Right now I'm WFW which helps. But you're still updating notes, scheduling meetings, moderating discussions and working on reports. Like you I feel pretty pooped by then end of the day. I try and make a lunch ahead of time, have 2-liters of water, snacks and bio breaks. Fortunately I have a sit\stand desk, 2-large monitors, my laptop, and a comfortable office chair. Tomorrow is a holiday, but no rest for the weary keeping these project on schedule. At least I have time with minimal interruptions, so I can concentrate on my work. At least your view is better than mine, and the kids keep you entertained. Jasper's looks like a pretty silly dog, when he can be himself. I lover critters, and respect them all. Be safe, and thanks again for sharing your life.

I walk my dog in a neighborhood and carry pepper spray because- yes a bear, Bobcat fox and a coyote has crossed my path but also neighbors dogs have charged me and they we’re scarier.I will protect my dog and myself quicker from them. That said I love that you care to leave places than you found it.

Your channel is simply wonderful. Your narration voice is fantastic and your camera skills are great as well. Any interest in sharing a video of cooking outside? Your kitchen in the trailer is obviously a beloved feature but I was thinking a little charcoal-grilled meals would be great too.

I love all the spaces you find, keep butterfly wound closures in your camp

Big like 👍. Great video 👍📹my friend.

Cass!...On my behalf,Wish your Father a Very Special Happy Fathers Day and Thank Him for raising such an Incredible Person!

From my knothole in Corporate America, a lot of workers who have been 100% remote due to Covid will be called back into the office over the next several months due to the widespread availability of vaccines and revised CDC guidelines. Many workplaces are going to try a hybrid schedule with a few days in the office and a few days from home, but I have a gut feeling that won’t last long either. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of petty “leadership” in these organizations that hate virtual work and want to see “butts in chairs” again, so it probably won’t be long until that hybrid schedule goes away as well. I think in about a year we’re going to see Craigslist and FB Marketplace flooded with “Covid toys” - motor homes, RV’s, toy haulers, Sprinter vans, slide ins, boats, overland trailers, ATVs, motorcycles, etc etc - bought with Trump/Biden bucks and tax returns during the pandemic that are no longer being used. Along with all the toys being dumped at rock bottom prices, I’m guessing the woods and boon docking sites will begin to quiet down and go back to normal next summer as well. However, guys like me who’ve tasted the 100% virtual work life are going to do what we can to keep this lifestyle, so I think companies willing to offer it are going to have a competitive advantage for top talent going forward vs. those who require in office work. As someone who’s been living the Digital Nomad life yourself for some time, I’d be curious to hear your take on these things, pros/cons of virtual work, and where you think things are going for the future of this kind of lifestyle. Might make for a good future video topic?

Wonderful place. We live at Lake Kissimmee State Park /Rolling Meadows Ranch so are constantly picking up trash.

On one of the videos you showed how you put rails under you silverware drawer so that it can be pulled out. Can you tell me more about the rails where you got them, installing, length. It is such a great idea we are picking up or 2022 Basecamp 16x next Tuesday. 12/14/2021 your help would be so appreciated. Thanks

Always look forward to your videos. Hope your thumb has healed and that you're able to have a more relaxing time during the holiday weekend. 😊

I hope you are getting ready to enjoy a long weekend, and your thumb is feeling better - sounds incredibly painful! You have such a good attitude about it. Love these type of slice of life videos, though less mishaps are better. :D I'm hoping to live this life in a couple of years, we'll see how the market goes.

It’s very important to keep the Bear spray on you at all times. It might be wise to also have a revolver in close proximity. Stay safe Sweetie!

Thank you so much for picking up the trash! Your message about cleaning up and making a site better than you found it is one we all need to abide by.🙏🏻

One of the mysteries of life: Why do people litter? I'm lazy but not that lazy. Every day I'm picking up trash along the front yard. Cigarette filters, plastic bottles, etc. I guess it's a hassle to put trash in a trash can.

are you don’t posting videos? I am looking at BaseCamps and your video’s give a nice picture of actually living in one. SO MANY

Thank you for your message about leaving a clean campsite!

I love your old videos, Peekaboo bue! Peekaboo, Peekaboo, views! LOL!!! You're a good person! ^_^

Truly disgusted when people trash all over the place. If they love free camping, then get educated to keep the place clean! Trash everywhere will attract the bears 🐻 to the campsite. Grrrrr!!!!

You have to be more carefully it's always the small incidents that ruin a relaxing day offgood to see that you are doing ok stay safe and healthy God bless you and your pets till next time 👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁

Good on you for cleaning up after the slobs of the world. Tread Lightly folks.

I want to echo the bear spray advice. Also the gun. And what about a tetanus shot? If you are going to be tearing pieces off yourself out there in the woods...

Just a tip but good way to get signal if your working with no cell signal and just need internet is Starlink , Works by satelite . Not sure on price but ive heard a lot are using it for off grid stuff .

Cass, where are you? I‘be been missing your videos.

Smart move, don’t pay more than what you want to. Prices will com down just wait and you might get it lower.

new subscriber. love your content. If you can, what is it you do remotely for work?

Hi Cass I was wondering if you have done any videos on how you get your internet service and your TV service. Thank you in advance.

It is definitely a sellers market right now - if you like the property you may want to offer asking price - most properties are selling for over asking price

Hi Cass, really enjoy your videos. We are working thru all of them as time permits. We are considering both the 16x and the 20x. We were wondering what your view would be on the 20x given your use of the 16x in high mountains. Do you feel you are close to the 4runner’s capability in steeper roads? BTW, we have bought a 2021 4Runner Off-road with KDSS so it seems to be similar to your rig. Thanx!

Looks so beautiful there good luck in your land search

Sorry you cut your thumb. Get rid of the wing type opener and get the type that waiters use in restaurants. learn to use it and you will not hurt yourself. it is also smaller than the wing type opener.

What state were you camping in, im just glad there was no glass or stickers for the dogs feet, i take kalie out at a lot of different boondocking places but there always seems to be a lot of stickers for her feet to get into her hair ie..into her ears. Nice pretty place but you can tell the locals do use it. Thanks for picking up after others, i would have done the same but not so sure of picking up toilet paper..Thanks...Rick Madison

I'm glad that you're OK. with the hurt thumb!👍🤭🩹🥰That's a nice spot-really a great spot( still be careful though🐻) that you're in and I'm so sure that you'll continue to find some more nice spots at your next adventures! Have a great and safe Memorial Day weekend!💚💙💜🌄

You gave me a chuckle as you were trying to say peek a boo views...... lol

I love your respect for mama earth. I've also been seeing on other, similar channels, where people are leaving edibles along with other trash and doggies have gotten sick. Just an fyi. Thank you for such a wonderful video with amazing nature views! blessed be!

Great video. Hope your finger healed OK! I do not understand people who litter at all. It never occurred to me growing up that littering was OK. When I take walks around where I live here in SC I am astounded at what has been thrown out of vehicles along the sides of our beautiful roads. Thank you for taking such good care of your campsite!

I’ve been looking for land as well. I’ve been looking on Landio some. Have you used that site and channel any? Just curious about what other’s experiences with the site are. I’ve got an agent as well but just curious if you’ve used Landio. Thanks....

Yikes, I think I'd be scared to have my dog off leash in bear area.

What beautiful areas to camp. Thanks for showing. I wish we had boon docking sights in England but it is illegal in 99% of the UK. People stealth camp here though. That's a thing here now. But miserable people report you if they think you are overnighting. Just because... Oh to live in the USA.

It's amazing how many people don't control their dogs, very inconsiderate

KEY-ka-Boo. ? Key. Not Peek. Not about peeking?

Show the Damage on your next Vid, :) and things that can happen unexpectedly while Traveling

Bear country... How do you manage food in the RV? I've seen incidents of them breaking into cars. Be safe!

What kind of camper is that. It looks like the perfect size for me

Are you afraid of the bears when Jasper is off leash? I would be afraid my dog would chase the bear.

Omg. I am so sorry. Just turn off your phone rather than moving your rv

Crazy times with real estate. Supposedly no one has any money but everything is selling like crazy. We just received a letter from wilco land acquisitions wanting to buy our montana property that is not for sale. WTH?

Great job picking up after others. Inspiring stuff..... :)

Shoot me an email, I'll send you a proper wine bottle opener

Hey, I'm looking at one now to buy, what interior color did you get and do you know if the solar pack from the factory worth the money thanks

What kind of mpg do you get pulling your Basecamp

Thanks for your videos. Y'all have blessed weekend out there TC.

How did you learn to back up your trailer

How do you get your WiFi connection for working remotely?

My protective panels on the front are always dented from the wind and driving do you experience this Cassie ? Love the boon docking setting keep enjoying nature You Rock !

Do you let napoleon out on a leash when you are boondocking?

Does Napoleon have a litter box?

Do you use a generator or is it completely solar?

looking good Jasper!

Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed the scenery, Jasper running free and your getaway. Sorry about the thumb 🤬

May I ask 2 questions? 1. What size is your Base camp? 2. Were you to upgrade someday it would be to a ... ?

what kind of outdoor rug is that? I need one like that!

Wow, amazing campsite find !!!

Great video. Thank you :)

U need a cell phone booster. 😎

Did you ever encounter a bear

What happened to Casper?

I am glad you cleaned that area up.

Another great vid! Do you ever have problems with your fur babies picking up fleas/ticks? Or better yet, how do you prevent them from picking them up and/or bringing them into the RV?

Litter is disgusting.

I have a 4Runner just like yours. Will you please make a video of how you pack it and how well it does pulling the basecamp? Maybe you already have...I'll look around.
