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.

Another great video. We stayed in another part of MB... rode my bike for days, hiked for a few more. We have people camp near us all the time in wide open areas. 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. It can be frustrating sometimes for those of us who seek out the solitude of some epic boondock site in the middle of nowhere. I just smile wave, sometimes offer a beer and think "next time".

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.

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.

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.

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.

What kind of E Bike do you ride? As a bigger guy it seems to get you around pretty good
@KennyOfAllTrades2 жыл бұрын
For sure, nimble as a 6ft 280 pound cat. The bike is a Rad Power Bike. It carries me with no problems. I take it on trails with no issues. Every once in a while, if I catch a little air and land hard, the battery will pop out. But I don't think it was designed to do jumps.

I will park close but space for respect, because I’m afraid of something dangerous things might happen!

Makes sense to me. When I talked to Mandi ( my girlfriend who refuses to be in my videos) that is the conclusion we came to. And it does make sense that people feel safer in numbers. I'm glad that no one is taking offense to the question either. I hope I did not come off as a crazy hermit or anything! Thanks for watching!

What model arctic fox camper do you have? Also; what is your fuel economy hauling your camper? Also...one more ?...what size is the fuel tank on your chevy?
@KennyOfAllTrades2 жыл бұрын
The camper is a 2004 Arctic Fox M-860. The truck with the camper fully loaded gets 9-10 mpg on the Interstate doing 80-90mph. About 11-12 mpg while on the Hwy doing 65 - 75. And the best mileage is on county roads going 55-60. I regularly get 13 mpg then. The truck has a 36 gallon tank. Thanks for watching!

Kenny, I really like your grill! What kind is it? Do you remember where you bought it from? I would sure like to get one of those, they look like they do a real good job cooking! 🤔 Thank You! 😋 Your friend, Didi 👋 🌲🚙🌲

I have heard that people do that to feel safe, the kind that are just starting out or just a once a year vacation ,my self I prefer to be by myself.

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.

We feel safer
@KennyOfAllTrades3 жыл бұрын
I thought that would be the most common answer. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! We are all wired different, the experiences we've gone through In the past help guide the choices we make in the future. There's no right or wrong answer. It's all subjective on our own prior situations. Thanks for watching!!

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.
@rlucerin28 Жыл бұрын
Why don't you hardwire your generator with a harness somewhere inside the engine compartment for when you need to remove it?
@KennyOfAllTrades Жыл бұрын
That is an awesome idea! I could have Anderson plug mounted behind the truck grill, then one for tge camper. I could wire to the transfer switch. I'll definitely think about that.

@KennyOfAllTrades5 ай бұрын
This was a couple of years back. But if memory serves me right, I was about 1.5 past the designated campground. From that road, I took a forest road about 1/2 mile to the campsite. That was one of my all-time favorite spots.

@@KennyOfAllTrades I’d consider buying it but I already have a van for work and, living in the city, I have limited places to park vehicles. A 4x4 conversion van would be awesome for my hot springs trips out west.

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.

Everyone is different. I’d see if you was a likable person before I camped close. It really looks like the earth is over populated.
@KennyOfAllTrades2 жыл бұрын
Sometimes it feels that way, like the world's over populated. Usually the further back I go the less populated it gets, and it is even more surprising in those remote locations when people setup right next to me. I just have to remember the land belongs to all of us. Some times it is depressing how clueless people can be to their surroundings. Completely oblivious to intruding on others space. Its usually not a problem untill the liqure starts flowing around a fire late at night while the music is blaring. Or the domestics that flare-up when the drinking gets heavy. Had to listen to a lot of those.....All while I'm trying to go to bed 30 yards away. Like I said we are all wired differently...its not that big of a deal to me. I've seen others have complete melt downs though. Thanks for watching!!!
