It's human nature to gather. Here's an experiment we did decades ago as kids. We had a 12x12 tent, we all started out the night in separate corners and by morning we were all near the center. I grew up in Cheyenne and recognize much of that area! It's funny, I ALWAYS tell people who want to go out west to STAY AWAY from the big parks if they want a real "western" experience. There are THOUSANDS of miles of dirt roads on public land with access to nice boondocking or small campgrounds out there. Even in a busy year like this, we were out for two weeks and hit spots like Thermopolis, Snowy Range, Green River, Lander, Vedawoo....and didn't have an issue finding a spot to camp. Much better than fighting for a parking lot spot in the bigger, crowded parks.

We head out to boondock for the same reason as you do. I think you hit it on the head about the sense of security, in our experience most people will seek out "numbers" on the road.

When you’re out in the middle of nowhere and you see someone who is like minded in setting up camp, it’s reassuring that it’s okay to camp out there. It’s like an endorsement that it’s okay for you to be there. Lotta people don’t know what you know, about how to camp out by themselves. On top of that, you’re just a swell guy and they probably love the look of your rig as much as you do. They figure that you know what you’re doing, and maybe they don’t have the experience that you have. I’d want to camp next to a cool set-up like yours too 😃

Freakin' annoying when you want to get away and then dingdongs have to crawl into your space - and there are a zillion other camping spots open.

I still use my truck when I don't have the camper in it. For that reason I like having a short bed single rear wheel. I would not fit through the bank drive through in a dually. With that being said if I could afford the truck and was building my dream camper set up it would be a dually with Ford 7.3 L gas motor. I made a suspension video showing what I have all done to the truck. In that video I mentioned that I prefer the single rear wheel and would not get a dually. What's the reason for that comment is because I simply cannot afford a different set up. I truly love this truck and camper though. I have a video coming out where my sixteen-year-old daughter is with me. And she drove this camper setup through Duluth and onto Minnesota's North Shore. She had absolutely no problem handling the truck and camper.

People have always done that. They do it in grocery store parking lots, camping area, beaches, horse shows. It is probably for the same reason drivers tailgate. It is truly annoying.

I was really pissed off at a walmart in page arizona. I parked far away from everyone. Yet a small van came and parked within three feet of my class c. I was kind of upset, but I was sleepy. And had a couple cocktails. About eleven thirty at night, a guy bangs on my door asking for change. I told him to go "away." About one o'clock, he came back. I told him to f off, and I got out of the vehicle. And he was going over to the van. She screamed. Apparently, he had been there for quite a while, just banging on her door. Ended up getting a little bit physical with him. As she called the police. Sometimes I suppose it's acceptable. I suggest that when people snug up to you, go up to them and ask how they're doing. There are many new van lifers out there that are single females. Many are scared, and it's the first time on the road. It opened my eyes. I try to no longer be a dick.

I think people who do that are not feeling very safe, especially in tents. I personally think it’s more acceptable to be within eye-line, but as someone who travels with dogs, the more distance the better. Eye line is fine, but if you’re close enough that I can hear you speaking and we don’t know you, it’s not good for anyone involved 😂

I like your Ebike. How many miles can it go on a charge?
@KennyOfAllTrades6 ай бұрын
I don't go much further than 20 miles at a time. I start getting sore after that. I still have a bar or so remaining. If I remember correctly, it's around 27 miles. But that was between multiple rides. I'm a big guy. I weigh 280 pounds. I usually assist with peddling, but the bike does most of the work.

We have had that same thing happen to us with other campers setting right next to us when most of the rest of the camping was available. Not sure what it is, but it is annoying to me. I don't want to listen to generators, cell phones, etc when out camping and trying to enjoy some solitude.

How did that "rear view mirror" work out? I heard you say something about a backup camera, but I'm not sure you are talking about the same thing.
@KennyOfAllTrades Жыл бұрын
I was using the Promedio rear view mirror camera. It worked really well for around 5 years. Eventually, the camera disconnect plug was allowing water intrusion. I had to replace the system a few weeks back. I showed that on a video 2 weeks ago. I went with the cheapest setup I could find. It called Jansite. It was 49 dollars off Amazon. I figured since all these rearview backup cameras looked alike, I would see if the cheap one performs like the 170 dollar Promedio. So far, so good. I'll update if I have any issues.

You are probably right, I think people feel safe in numbers. I hear a lot of chanels talking about how frightened they are of wild animals. I think the most unpredictable and unnerving thing I come across is other people.

You’re exactly right. My feeling is if people are so scared, stay home. I have really given people hell for invading my privacy. I think they are stupid, selfish and inconsiderate. X I ask why do they think I camp,away from people and what about that makes them think I want a close neighbor? They almost always leave after I lecture them.
