Finding Spots
Find free, legal places to camp.
Where boondocking is actually allowed, how to scout it, and how to read a spot before you commit to the drive in.
The best spots aren't secret — they're just unmarked
Public land, the right apps, and a few habits will keep you in good free camping for as long as you want. The trick is knowing where it's legal and what a good site actually looks like before you turn off the pavement.
