I work remote as well. So my 3 days off ill hike around and see everything, or use it as a base camp and drive trails. It reall depends on how I like the area. If im not a fan of it ill move after the week. Inusually like staying for 2 so that I use less fuel.so what do you look for in a site? if you stay at one place for a week or two, are you out and about most time or are you at camp doing things?I boondock 90% of the year. Im fulltime
ha!Boondocking at its best

Come on Grub...you didn't post this first? We all know you were thinking this when you made the thread.
Lol... grubworm, you are completely mangling the definition of boondocking, now I see that it is YOU who is messing up and confusing this community! ;) This is like a guy talking about hunting, when he goes to the supermarket for meat, or picks a live lobster lol!the wife and i do a good bit of the boondocking/stealth camping and when its 1am and i need a few hours to rest...walmart, loves truck stop and the back of cracker barrel
hey...im actually being legit on this one...Lol... grubworm, you are completely mangling the definition of boondocking, now I see that it is YOU who is messing up and confusing this community! ;) This is like a guy talking about hunting, when he goes to the supermarket for meat, or picks a live lobster lol!
Boondocking == camping in the BOONDOCKS == NOT Walmart, NOT stealth camping on a street, NOT a campground.
Pleeeeeeaaaase, stop your heresy! ;)
ok...now THIS is the best post i have seen the entire time i've been on here...Our average was probably 2-3 days with some remote spots being a week. When we moved to a new area/state/country, 1 nighters unless we ended up on a lake or river which would become 2. Some of our favorite long stays were in spots with lots to do around it and on or very close to a river. We were full time so down days were essential to pepper in along the way. We did spend almost 10 days in a large forest, hot spring jumping, with one spot becoming a basecamp for 6 days (IIRC). If it was someone's house and free, 1 to no more than 2 days depending on if we'd need something special in the area or if we ended up helping them with a project. We did live in someone's yard for 2 months but we ended up house and pet sitting while they dealt with cancer treatments in a large city ~200 miles away. Usually we ran out of food and were forced to move if we happened upon a perfect free spot. We've done months entirely free camping, boondocking, stealth, pirate...whatever. FWIW, in other countries Overlanders seek out someone with a decent amount of tools to "camp" in their yard to perform repairs or upgrades. Usually there is a cost but it's a great way to make new friends. We spent a fair amount of time "camping" at mechanic shops or at the homes of mechanics to handle things on our van. No matter the country, gear heads just can't help themselves.
