Dispersed Camping/Boondocking Q&A 

We just watched a You Tube channel of a woman traveling alone using BLM land out west having to deal with a very creepy situation. So yes, you're 100% correct.

​@@Tpollos David Paulides ("Missing 411") is an excellent source of information on missing persons and homicides in wilderness and national park areas. Paulides was a homicide investigator for San Jose Police Dept.

Same. I'm 61 and have only had two flat tires while traveling. Both times, men stopped and changed my tire. I still haven't done it myself. These days I know to check my tires for wear, air, etc.

Those days are gone in democratic run cities, sadly.

@@shellchenonceau6987 and Republican ones as well. Evil does not choose a side to think that is to be very delusional.

Your very first couple of words, ya’ll are just precious!! I love you both!! Yes I’d say trust your gut! ( which I call God!!! Gut is God saying move on!!! ) I enjoy your channel so much!!!❤❤😊

That was super funny to me as well!!

Some people thought the hieroglyphics were real and worth a lot of money! 😁

@@LiveSimpleLiveFree lol!!!

Yes indeed!!

Great Q& A Massachusetts

We realize there are no absolute guarantees. (The sides of the truck box are heavy plywood, it just looks like metal.)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks❤️

Hey there!

@@LiveSimpleLiveFree Good morning! Cheyenne and I think for you often snd keep you in our prayers. It’s grand to see you traveling and I envy your freedom. I look forward to following and supporting you in your travels! In your ventures, you may run across another RVer I follow, TravelingRobert! 😊 Maybe you will cross paths! We are still loving our ThriveLife food 😊

I only travel 2 hours from home now. I traveled the World up until 19. Now I travel with you two. Lol. I am 68 and run my own business that I enjoy so much. No time to travel. I am happy as can be!

Yes, we’re looking at Starlink, but it’s expensive.

Yes, horrible things happen to good people. But that happens more than cities than it does out in the wilderness!

And there’s MORE information about people disappearing in cities!

@@LiveSimpleLiveFree true. That's why bear mace would be handy

And, this is what I would personally do. I'm a single woman. I think about attempted break-ins especially while asleep by people or animals.

​@@commentater4448I think you are very prudent. On two occasions while I was away from our campground men showed up questioning my wife whether she was alone. I returned from hiking and armed. In both instances they quickly left the campground area. My wife worked in law enforcement and did have a shotgun in the trailer.

Yup, city people don't understand the wilderness (but I didn't want to say that on the video!)

Yup, NJ is one of the states I was thinking of

so sick of people thinking DT is anything but an unpleasant human being

​@RB-gt8bf Your comment does not make sense with my original post. Trying to understand.

😎

Hey!

Yup!!

Exactly!

We had a party line when we got married. Boy has life changed! We appreciate Facetime so we can see our daughter and grandson who live so far away.

My wife and I have camped in every state except Alaska and Hawaii. We also have camped in Canada. We have been camping for over 50 years and we have never had a serious problem. On a recent trip from Ohio to Florida we stopped for fuel in Elizabeth Town Kentucky at a Five-star gas station/convenient mart in a very good neighborhood. I filled up with fuel and got in our 2021 Thor Compass. I looked in the passenger side mirror and saw a man carrying 2 Jack Russel type dogs unleashed coming toward the camper. He tried to pull open the camper door. It was dead bolted and locked. He looked in the passenger side door and said something we could not understand. He returned to his green Chevy 1/2 ton truck with his 2 unleashed dogs. Keep your doors locked and have a way to protect your family if an intruder gains access to your home on wheels. Be safe and prepared. America is not what she use to be. Now for the rest of the story. We did not confront the man. We continued on I 65 south toward the Sunshine State. After a couple of miles I saw the green Chevy truck with his 4 ways on approaching, he pulled beside us. We could see him and the 2 dogs. He was very close to us. He tried to run us off the road. I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting the truck however I did not stop. He tried this 3 times and was not able to get us to stop. We were in panic mode. My wife called 911. He was beside us again in his attempt to stop us. He saw me with the phone and sped off. We were able to get a partial plate number. We could see him at a great distance because he had his cargo light on in the rear of the truck bed. 911 told us they would let them know. The green truck with his cargo light on had pulled over at the next exit, waiting for us. We did not know what we would have to endure next. A class C RV had passed us and my wife suggested we stay close to the class C RV which I did. Maybe that is why the green truck did not try to follow us. Warnings to follow: 1. Keep your doors locked. 2. Purchase a dash cam. (We now have one) 3. Security cameras (we have them at home) 4. Have a way to protect yourself if someone gains access to your rv. 5. Do not stop. 6. If you are older you are a target. 7. 911 was no help. This was typed on Sticky Notes. It happened to my wife and I on October 31, 2022 at 7:08 am.

We're considering Starlink, not so much for emergencies, but so we can upload videos.
