Boondocking the Black Hills: Free BLM Land

On nights 22, 23, and 24, we camp on free BLM land in the Black Hills National Forest. Lots of rough roads equals very little human activity in this remote wilderness.

Wow we loved your pitch guys! Not surprised you lingered there for 3 nights with such a cool set up, even switching accommodations, why not!😊👍. Wish there were more places to boondock like this in the UK. Throughly entertaining video, we are looking forward to the next installment of your challenge!😊👍

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks friends! It was a fun adventure!

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Nice. Fun having a spouse that enjoys the outdoors/camping and stuff. We are lucky peeps..

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

We are certainly lucky! Experiences are better shared most of the time!

[@dizanbot]

all the Black Hills content is making me anxious for a trip out west.😁

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's beautiful out there. I'll have our hike video out soon!

Love the cool "covers" of classic tunes I grew up with in your videos.

Awesome spot! That winter shelter fits two hammocks nicely. ✌️

[@TressaZimmerman]

There was some sort if separation bar to use for separating hammocks. I haven't gotten one because right now I only have one hammock, but I am about to get a second one. They look like they may work. Take care.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

ENO makes them. Superior Gear has a method too using a third strap. I've found the ENO ones cause too much of a teeter totter effect. We were lucky to find good trios of trees to use and that's my favorite method personally.

Forest as long as you can see, what a gorgeous place!

I use the DJI mini 2.

It was incredible!

[@hootonthetrail3894]

Saaweet. I had NO idea you were boondocking & camping this many days in a row. That's Fn awesome, brother! Oh, it's about time you incorporate a Viking tune in one of your videos. Even though it's a cover..lol

We went to a luxury Super 8 in Wisconsin! Not bad though considering there was hot showers! Thanks my friend!

[@daphnesears2012]

Love your videos. What forest road are you boondocking on?

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks so much! It was Taylor Ranch Road, just north of Sheridan Lake.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Excellent! Almost to your goal my friend! Bet that was awesome to sleep under the stars with the fly off the top of the tent. Stay weird my friend!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It was actually insane condensation that night. The mesh collected so much moisture that it soaked our quilts. Quite the unexplainable event.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley Yuck! No one wants to wake up with a wet sack...the condensation tends to happen when you pitch your tent and camp on grassy areas.

[@mikeghost7788]

Jeremiah Johnson is my most favorite movie of all time.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's top 5 for me too dude! I grew up with that movie. No wonder we get along huh?

I thought it was weed.....lbvs.

[@susan4yahshua]

Did I miss the link to where that is somehow ?🤪

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It west of Rapid City off of Sheridan Lake Road. It's a minimum maintenance road area just north of Sheridan Lake.

[@RhodySeth]

You guys should go thru-hike something. Seems like you have the gear, time and moxie. Seek adventure!

It's in the works. Hopefully this fall!
