- In today's video we continue our series on how to live rent-free or for very cheap. The first way to do that is by dispersed camping for free on National Forest or BLM land. It's hard to believe, but true, that you can drive down the road on nearly all Public Land and choose a site and camp for free. Try it, I think you'll like it!!!

Thanks for watching!
In this fallen world we have to make a leap of faith. You, sir, have done it in spades! Thanks for the vids.
Starting an epic road trip June, July and August this year for 3 months to celebrate my 34th birthday, I CANNOT wait. Great tips!
Me too 😀
Bob your so cute so inspiring I'm going to save up for a van I want to see these gorgeous places everyday of the rest of my life the peacefulness is just tugging at my soul. Thank you for teaching me so much! God bless you and keep you happy healthy and safe!
Thank you for posting this video Bob. My husband and I used to camp a lot and I always preferred being away from normal campgrounds out in the boonies. He's gone now and I'm considering purchasing a nice RV and setting out alone myself. This video was very helpful to me.
Love you, your mission, your passion and your heart for humanity. You’re a gem! 💙💙💙💙💙
Love your comment.
Love you bob and you all. Happy travels.
I love your videos. I am about to embark on a new lifestyle and your videos inform me on how easy it is to live. With that knowledge I feel fearless. Thank you.
Thanks for another very informative video! All of us currently stuck in the rat race appreciate the time you spend sharing what is possible! Keep well!
This has been my most favorite episode yet Bob! Your passion of this lifestyle shines through. I can honestly say your channel is tha only one that inspires me...
Lol..."What is he gonna take? A tent?" I love these videos!! Super healthy and, at times, humorous!"😄
I would much rather Boondock away from people and crowds, Than be packed like sardines in a RV Park. Good Video
RJ's adventures Me too!!! The solutude is what I seek!!!
Same here!
RJ's adventures why would you drive out to be in the wilderness to be 20 ft from the guy running his generator? I'm with you and do not understand campsite/ Rv parks
LOL, I use that same "term" sardines in a sardine can!
I’m single. And, rather be around people with my little poochie.
I'm subscribed to a couple dozen channels in this genre and this channel is by far the best of the best. Thanks, Bob!
I sure like your neighborhood!!!!
Want to go now. Right now. The RV I just bought needs some work first. Delayed gratification is still gratifying. Thanks for this lovely share. I AM inspired.
Your photos are beyond beautiful. And your advice is definitely inspiring--the photos back you up!
I cant wait to try this. I am coming home next month from my deployment with my Guard Unit and my friends and I have been wanting to find some good trails and spots (we run a volunteer search and rescue team in our area) other than campground areas. I have never been fond of campgrounds because you are right next to bathrooms and people and everything is always so crowded. I have been trying for so long to find just open area in the forest to setup and camp for our missions and finally I figured out it is called disperse camping. Loved the video man!
As always another informative video by the master ! This man has a wealth of knowledge for this way of living. And it's very true what he said all the criminals are in the city they're not gonna come out in the forest and try to steal your tent it's your electronics And jewelry in a house they would want. Thanks for making this Bob. Good Vibes 👣
The pictures of the dispersed camping spots you've stayed at are gorgeous! Thank you Bob! 👍⛺💕
Bob, I have been in the beautiful Pisgah National Forest in 2000 when I made my long trek through the U.S. Gorgeous! Thanks for another VERY informative post.
I read somewhere that wasp spray cans are very effective at distances of up to 20 feet, more effective than bear spray. And with bear spray you can be charged here in Canada...for what, I've forgotten.
Your the man Bob,keep spreading the word.
Bob, where are you now? I hope and pray that you and your Mom are doing great. And all of the rest of the family. It is so good to hear you talk and explain about free camping. I never knew that it was so complicated. Some people have trouble hearing. Stay safe and happy trails. Joyce
I recently found your channel and love the wealth of knowledge you bring the viewer.
There are a lot of people w/o common sense,thoughtfulness & don't care if the way they use things causes the good things to go away.
My inspiration came from video " With out bounds" . As well as your channel as follow-up to keep the dream alive. I RETIRE NEXT YR! COUNTING THE DAYS.
Thank you for the inspiration you give me!! I look forward to living this way here in CO.
I really love your passion for living on the road, i want to meet you one day a and learn more about it all..I cant get enough of this lifestyle and your videos
You never cease to teach me something
It makes me so happy to listen to your information! Thank you so much 😊
I cant wait for the adventure to begin 🤘
I love your videos and have been subscribed since I saw the documentary "Without Bound". We have been full timing for the last two years and one thing I have learned is the more people you tell, the more people that will do it. Then the powers that be will clamp down on it and then no one will be able to do it. It has been that way with just about everything I have enjoyed doing in my life. That is why I only share things with a select group of people who wont screw things off!
There are many sides to the question "Is it good for more people to become vandwellers and should we tell them about it." Some are angry at me for promoting it, and they make valid point. The more we get on the radar, the more likely for governments to step in and control us. And yes, there is no doubt it is a tremendously growing trend--many more are coming into the life.
But my thought is it's wrong for me to get mine, and then refuse it to you because it might make my life slightly harder. There are so many hurting and needy people out there, and I simply could not live with myself if I had hope to offer them, and refused to offer it for purely selfish reasons.
So, right or wrong, I am determined to tell everyone who will listen that there is a better way and it is for them if they want it.
It's better that we approach travelling safely and smartly so that we respect land and "tread lightly". With a community people are more visible in the nomad forum so that there is safety and help for common issues. I would think this would lead to less violence and damage to nature which the government should consider. I like it that you keep in touch with the rangers which will shed a positive light on nomads living respectfully.
Awesome video Bob. Its great that you share tips like this with us subscribers... I've been really seriously considering this way of life. I want to make some changes in my life so Ive watched videos like this and I'm dreaming about waking up with the sounds and smells of the woods... mmmm beautiful! Thanks for sharing. -Mark
Love all your videos and I totally agree about Dispersed Camping I have done it in a tent..Beautiful and all nature. Soon to be retired and I want to go travel and camp full time Im tired of renting and city life..
You go dusty. Just get out there and do it. Im sick of apts. I lived im apts for 47 yrs. Now. Im so tired. Im 74 yrs. Old. Ive been ready for a long time. Or at least 5 yrs. Anyway. Three things stopping me. 1. My husband says no. The weather. We are broke. Cant afford a big vehicle. We have a small car. It wont make it out of town. A 2019 mitz. Mirage g
4.
Hi dusty. My husband hasnt worked in two yrs. If he doesnt get a job. We will be homeless. He didnt say anything else. I told him that. I said lets go camping. He said where. I said around town. Really do this because we will need a lot of practice. He said forget it. Its to hot. I told him guess what the summers is still going to be here every year. So get use to it. Anyway. Think about saving the rent money. My soc. Sec. Check can go only so far. The rent just keeps going up. Then what. The owner here is a multi. Millionare. All he cares about is money. The rat said in a note during the pandemic. Pay the rent or move. I told the mngr. Here the owner is not human. How would he like to be in our shoes. The mngr. Said he is a multi. Millionare. Oh well. We all here is on low income. Oh about our car. A 2019 mitz mirage. It has a 1.7 engine. It is good on gas. Gotta buy a tent to sleep in for comfort. The car is for storage only. Even with the seats out. Wouldnt do any good. Yhank you dusty. Happy travels. May god bless you and everyone. Love you all. Dreaming a nomad life. Oh. My favorite ia a step van. The big one. I need space. And to be a minimalist to. I want a chevy. Love them chevys. Thank you. I need more info. On my choice of vans.and where to take the step in for service.
Beautiful pictures Bob & thanks for the great information thru your videos.
Wonderful vid, thanks for all the great info Bob and the beautiful pics!! WOW this country is beautiful!!!
You are so incredibly likable Bob! Thank you for what you are doing. You really convey us your passion. 😙
You crack me up, Bob. Love your videos.
The Man with a Van returns! Whhhoooooooo!
I love you videos Bob. I will be living like you do one day. I still have kids at home. But I can see the light. I have dream of living like this my whole life. I love it. I hope one day we can meet up. Thanks for you videos.
Oh yeah! This is the style for me. I totally agree with you about "the more remote you are the safer you are". I wish that you added links to the future or other videos that you reference in each video. There are so many videos it's hard to find them otherwise.
Thats how I camp in Michigan never paid for a spot
Thank you for the beautiful backgrounds at your different campsites. I'm taking notes and making plans. Retirement is around the corner for me and as a widow I thought it was something to dread but I don't feel that way any more. You have inspired me to make a plan and start working toward it. Bob you are the man!
How's it going for you Dixie?
THIS is my favorite video of yours so far (although I've only seen a few) I'm 63 and going your way in my time..my guru...the spiritual master Eckhart Tolle would applaud your view of life!!
Wow! I am liking this way of life you are describing! Thank you so much for this valuable information video!
Great video again Bob. You're an inspiration to many 💕
Good job Bob I am pumped. Nice views also. Thanks
Always enjoy your videos BOB...great topic on disperse camping!
Very profound video ... it is a
Life changer for me
Great video Bob!! Think I was real close this past fall to that Sedona spot!!
Bob....I love watching your videos, they are so informative and you have such an enthusiastic way about you and a calm spirit. one question: Do you like to always be alone ? Seems like the van life can be fun but I think I would not enjoy always traveling alone. Thanks for all you do to educate us about another way to live and enjoy life!
CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! Love you Bob!
Love this series, Bob. And courtesy, whether campground or national forest, is always in fashion :)
Inspiring and educational as always, Bob. Thank you. IMO, BLM land is paid for and managed with our taxes, however much or little we pay. So it's "free" to camp there in the sense that we are using what's already ours.
Your right but see that goes for any National Forest !
We’ll see he doesn’t push his Rights because Look at TRUCK drivers were ever they RUn out of Hours I know because asa truck driver I done this in stead of staying in truck spots are pull off on ramps are we’re you hear ROAD noises !
Amen. Thank you.
Hi Bob. First of all, great video as usual and I look forward to seeing the rest in the series. Secondly, great illustration of how the two-legged predators think. They are opportunistic and they steal things that they can sell without much risk. Excellent point. Thirdly, I just came back from a vacation in the Taos NM area. I got to stay in an Earthship (the Waybee) for two nights which was fantastic. However, to get up to Taos I went through the Carson National Forest on various routes. Oh my God, it was fantastic. I love our forests. I can see why you love them as well. Take care and have a good week!
Fantastic video Bob, I love the excitement you generate when you educate us on a much better way to live. I look forward to learning your lessons, we are lucky you are willing to share your knowledge. Thank you!
Excellent point, Bob. With a 1997 Honda and my Dad's old 1947 "Wildwood" cabin tent, I'd be pretty safe from thieves. I don't know about someone in a Class A motorhome though. some of those rigs are pretty expensive. most folks that own them have quite a few goodies inside too.
Absolutely fantastic video and information...thanks Bob!
Thanks Bob,can't Waite to get back out there👍🏻
Nice one Bob. Sending you good vibes.
Thank you, Bob! I hope to live this way by the end of the year! Love your encouragement and practical know how.
Thanks Bob for the info very good video again thank you. Safe travels and I hope your Mom doing well.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am inspired! Yay!
Great inspiration, Bob. Hope your mother is doing fine.
Great video Bob, thanks!
I'm working on it can't wait!!!!
Glad to hear you are armed Bob!
I Love camping in nature. Boondocking is the way to go, Thank you for all of your videos.
Your videos are a wonderful thing!
Good info. I will be there soon. I'm almost done with my trailer build.
This is how I will do my summer road trips
Hey brother, thank for what you do. I’ve been debating for a few months now on my travel plans, I plan to take a camping trip across and around out beautiful nation, National forest 🌳 to national forest. Stay safe and thanks again for all your information!!
Glad you're armed. I want to learn from and enjoy your videos for some time to come, and certainly until I'm blessed to hit the road myself.
One thing that really upsets me are people who leave their fire rings. Sometimes in one camp you can have 3 or 4 rings, constructed according to people's personal placement preference. Please people! Put the rocks BACK where you found them!
Thanks Bob.
Great info thanks, minivan lee did recommend you and I am grateful😊
hey Bob my husband and I ( G & D) love watching you and also Caravan Carolyn...love your family videos friends & your acquaintances thanks for sharing....I know your busy but please increase more current videos and please stay real!💞😃
I have been to grays river in wyo, several times
Excellent you are inspiring!!
“You can’t do that here ILL SEE YOU!” ... haha omg I love it!
Hi Bob, I am so inspired to do this! Thank you!
I love your informative videos, thank you for all the help with getting started.
GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU. CAN’t wait to get out there!
bob, you rock...... thanks, hope you get to your mom safely?
thank you for the inspirational video
There is a unit called Rescue that has all the things, like the Po4 thing u rold us about in ur video u had about a Ryoby inverter...$300-400..😊
Love you bob. Mom. Son and family and cody .
Ah, you made it to Pisgah!! Check out Nantahala outdoor center, near Bryson City!
"How much cheaper can it be than free?" Where are the places where they pay YOU to stay there?
Yes, my wife and kids have this arrangement at our house. I make the money, they spend it.
@@bluepandaman May I move in too? I'd like to be a part of that arrangement as a spender, not an earner.
@@bluepandaman 🤣🤣🤣
Lots of gorgeous dispersed campsites here in Colorado, from September to May. Summer, good luck. How about a video that talks about places to camp on the cheap during high season, especially somewhere not-so-hot? Hmm, Canada? Alaska! Might be newsworthy, as people are making plans for the year.
bob your the best.i just got a airstream class b.love it
Great series. Especially interested in info on summer boondocking options(May through September )
You showed a photo of Capitol Reef National Park. My understanding is that most national parks have designated camp sites; whereas BLM and NF are open to dispersed camping.
First time watching your videos that you said you are armed. Glad to hear. I won't go out and cut my grass without my Glock. And of course I have permit.
Our Provincial Parks here in Canada also offer this. But there are restrictions and guidelines to follow in each park.
Parump, Nevada looks like where I live but there's a few more houses.
Thank you Bob!
great info, great video
bob thanks for inspiration.
I love this, Bob, especially your passion for this way of life. I AM inspired. Hopefully I'll be on the road within a month. :-)
Beautiful
Very nice places. Thanks
we will be there soon !
