Boondock with confidence — not guesswork.

Free calculators and field-tested guides that turn “will my setup work?” into a number. Start with solar, and we’ll build you a plan from there.

Why this site exists

No paywalls, no banner ads, no upsells. The most useful boondocking resource we can build — given away.

Every number comes from real time off-grid, not specs copied off a manufacturer’s page.

Finish a few calculators and get a plan tuned to your rig: where you’re solid, where you’re short, and what to fix first.

Size your panels and battery against how you actually camp, and see whether your power budget holds.

Complete three or more tools and we synthesize them: your overall posture, your weakest link, and the top moves to make next.

Water, Battery, Propane, Generator, and Trip Cost are coming — each one feeds the same plan.

Solar, batteries, and staying charged without hookups.

Fresh, grey, and black — how long you really last.

Your first nights off-grid, without the rookie mistakes.

Where it’s legal, free, and actually good to camp.

Connectivity, routines, and staying comfortable day to day.

Setups, upgrades, and what’s worth the money.

Real trips, real numbers — what our setups actually did out there.

What our power and water actually did in the desert, and what we’d change next time.

Cold-weather propane and battery reality, measured night by night.

A new boondocker’s first week out — the mistakes, and the fixes that stuck.

A free, step-by-step boondocking plan, delivered to your inbox.
