I totally agree with you two. You have very valid points, and I also ALWAYS leave a camp spot better than I found it..... I guess we are an elite group that actually CARES!

No funding from the government because the democrats send billions overseas..... Lets Go Brandon!!!!!

Nellie from Little House on the Prairie……….cute

So why doesn't BLM or whoever do regular checks and boot out the offenders? What am I missing?

Every thing you said was dead on, sick of this S!

I live on the road out of a minivan, i follow the rules. When people stay in one spot creating encampments..its infuriating. I avoid a lot of areas where people can pack in. It limits where i can stay. It sucks for everyone. Colorado wouldn't put up with this stuff...so head there if you need a nice getaway.

You do realize the AZ trust permit allows 14 days per year. Yes it is getting bad with trash on BLM . Near Phoenix on AZ Trust they recently kicked the violators out and towed the broken down RVs away.

your options are 99.9% of the rest of the land ... leave people alone

It is locals in some areas of the SW that use the desert as a waste dump.

Be careful NOT to set yourselves up has the 'boondocking' police... Cuz you might find yourself in a situation you Can't get out of...😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Don't Overthink IT!!!.... Happy and Healthy New Year!!!...

The bad apple’s ruining it for the many

There are a lot of free campsites in Utah!

Maybe the agencies aren’t enforcing the rules in order to force the issue and shut it down. It solves their staffing problem.

This is what I've suspected and been hearing. I've been waiting for years to live on public lands. I bought a pistol, first firearm in my life because of this/other things. Our nation is collapsing. Was thinking of buying a Living Vehicle. Not now, not ever. You saved me.

Hello, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life. He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

Love-love-love how you guys are being so real about “who” is messing up BLM areas. One day maybe we’ll cross paths and can talk in person about the real reason why BLM rangers are not enforcing stay limits and cleanliness without running afoul of y-tube police. lol Glad that the wandering shores turned us on to your channel and folks like y’all inspire us to keep our tiny little channel going. Great video, genuine, not negative but realistic!

Thanks for raising these issues

You are so correct, we would love to see more people like you in our town of Williams Arizona. Please visit. 🇺🇸

Don't sound like a HOA

Like the highways all have trash but not closed, it picked up with the people in some jails and they do a great job, they could use people out of the prisoners to pick trash but they be better for building housing and road maintenance

One last one pals the jail system coyld provide people to clean trash

The 14 day rule is not a law that stands because you are keeping a owner of his property

The homeless groups will grow a lot but the druggie camp are the trash camps that promote crime

It also a problem house hold trash big screen tv, bed, ect but if you see people doing bad get phone out, make a call.

Thanks for your video. I have the same frustrations with the management of our public lands. I also do some clean up at sites - sometimes it’s micro trash (which accumulates when you actually look for it), but many times it is big trash. I understand the frustration of public land management, but I also realize the large areas of the land. There are not enough personnel to adequately cover these huge areas. There are also a high cost of removing large trash (like trailers and rvs) and disposal of the trash. From my understanding, not all individuals that work for the BLM or FS have the law enforcement training necessary to safely confront individuals who don’t believe they have to follow the rules, especially if there is no backup. I agree that there seems to be a double standard, but it just might be the difference between someone who follows the rules and those that do not. Do I wish everyone would follow the rules, YES. But that is not the reality. My approach is to do what I can to keep an area clean and safe. And when I can, I participate in volunteer clean up opportunities.

Good video! I heard other RVrs said that the 2 big areas next to Lake Havasu are closed now. In your opening scenes, I recognized you driving through the mining area near Creede, CO Great area!

The homeless are just capitalism's throwaways. Compassion is needed. The wealthy a-holes that cause this don't care about ANY of us. Dig?

Nothing that you have offered up is a solution for a group of people who say fuck you to everything

Oh, this is hilarious. I’m a former retired law-enforcement officer so here’s the drill the guy out in the desert in violation. I drive out. I’m a nice guy. Give him a verbal warning. Next time. I read him a citation. He throws the citation in the firing. I come out again. I read a citation he throws the citation in the fire. Are these minor misdemeanors gonna land him in jail? Let’s say they do where’s all his crap gonna be still gonna be out in the desert police aren’t gonna go out there and clean it up every city in this country now it’s filled with homeless people many of them have got hundreds of citations. They don’t pay it. Citations are for people who follow the rules most of the time and sometimes don’t not for people who flipped their finger up in the air at everything. How do we deal with that as a as a as a civilization as a community you tell me you tell me what we should do.

Time and time again... people who follow the rules lose 😞

Need some cheese with your wine? U got any solutions? I couldn’t even watch more than 3 min…..bye

I’m in total agreement with everything you said! Too many people within our society don’t have any sense of personal responsibility nor respect for nature. Such a shame! Love your videos!

Ooooh I get that storage space in the truck bed nice thank u for some constructive reviews

What? Ev yea but there r road signs. As struck driver ur complaints r retawded

God why you guys so good looking, trying to not work a real job?

Oh Jesus Everyone couple online are models. It’s all o honey

Tax cuts are very popular. No money for enforcers.

I appreciate your passion on this subject! I agree 1,000%!!

This land is your land, this land is my land……no it’s not. It’s closed 😢 Government overreach as usual. The government has the money but it’s not spent on us here and this is what happens. It’s easier to close an area then to enforce the laws. You are right about Venice beach and don’t you park there. I was there in the late 80’s and it was great, now not so much. I’ll be skipping over that area. I’ve seen organizations do clean ups but not often. I agree the BLM or Az trust could seek volunteers, they should. Not really the land of the free anymore 😢

Thanks for sharing this issue! Seeing all the "Squatters" destroying and abusing rules is only getting worse. Once an area is closed, it remains closed indefinitely. Often times, gov't solutions are just to close completely and "allow restoration". Many reasons exist about funding, gov't leaders (past, present & future!) in Washington see agencies with "surplus funds" as their personal banks accounts for their budget shortfalls & mismanagement. One previous administration stole BLM & USDA funds for some wall & a parade. Now, these agencies have NO reserves they use for cleaning up and replacing signage. All we can do is pick up the crap and move along. Always making our camp spots cleaner than we find them! Rant anytime guys. See you in Tampa?

You neglect to mention, your total length is longer with a TT. if you have a 35' TT, your total length is longer than if you pull a 35' 5th wheel. It also increases the distance between truck axles & trailer axles, so you need a bigger swing for a TT. 5th wheels are much more stable in crosswinds & interstate traffic. I used to be an RV delivery driver, picking both styles up at the factory & going to the dealers. I had a dually diesel pickup with a HD 5th wheel & a wd bumper hitch setup. I very much preferred hauling 5th wheels. Much more stable & no sway when trucks pass.

All true. But its not going to get fixed by anybody. All the places you named including Pismo are the example of what will happen. Clean it up, or close the site, well the easy course for the govt is to obviously close it down. They dont want to police anything. Its the most lazy and risk avoidant group there is. And people in general are not going to get better. History proves that greed and selfishness rules the majority, thats why there are homeless people there in the first place. But Im glad you guys care and some others do too.

Our land. Abuse..sucks

i have ben in florida for 2 months now adventuring and it seems like its the locals that leave most of the trash i do not understand why peeps would destroy there own property. glass , beer bottles, cans, ice bags, bait trays, they have garbage cans all over down here in the free camping spots and the idiots cant even walk 20ft to throw it out stupid peeps lazy its really sad to see this i also do my part and clean up after them great vid keep them coming

If you can get more voices out there, your peer vlogging group….good job….

I would not be surprised if a lot of those people are illegals. Because some states care more about them than itself own .

You guys are good citizens and teaching the kids tour values.

Could not agree more.

Wow! Very upsetting video. I did see your "rant" quite a while ago about trash being left behind by the worst among us, but the issue you raised in this video is a much bigger deal. And if anyone in the comments complains about your bringing some light to this issue, just ignore them, you're doing a good thing, and thank you. I could almost hear the pain in both of your voices about this issue, and I certainly understand it. I have lived in AZ since 1975 and it's really upsetting to hear how bad this has become. I wish we could boondock but when we bought our rig in 2018 we knew NOTHING, and have a hybrid with small tanks and, of course, it has those tents, front and back. We don't feel it's safe to boondock in it and we would run out of room in our tanks. Still, even though we don't boondock ourselves (someday we will), I feel terrible to hear things have gotten this bad. We live in North Scottsdale and we do, at times, see tents in the state land near our home, just in the last few years. We have called to report these a couple of times. It's also terrible to hear (from a prior video) what's happening in the beautiful Sedona area, which is a national treasure in my book. We've lived in the North Scottsdale area for 24 years and we just started noticing tents in the nearby state land in the last few years. I'm going to call our local agencies to talk about this issue, but I don't pretend this is going to help anything, necessarily. If there is anything we (my wife and I) can do to help fix this, we would be glad to do it, I'm just not sure what that might be. If you have any ideas on what steps all of us can take to at least make things better, please let me know. We've been subscribers for many years, keep up the good work.
