    Ok, I finally went out and built a lean-to. I've put it off for a while because everyone else seems to be making them, but it was about time I tried to put my special touch on the humble lean-to, a bushcraft staple for the ages.

    At first I thought he crossing over to the bushcraft darkside...then he busted out the chainsaw, zip ties, and tarp. Nope, all is still balanced in the force.

    "Who needs fireworks when you are in the pure abundance nature?" How true. The best 4th of July I ever spent was 5 years ago in a deserted campground waaaaaay up river. Our fireworks were the eye reflections of wildlife in our flashlights in the evening and the next morning, several hawks gave us a silent, majestic aerial show over the river and over our camp site. I'll never forget it.

    Steve!! I had no idea of your history man. I've watched a few of your videos that have popped up in my recommended now and then, and earlier today came across a video, 'Boondocking - Full Documentary'. I clicked without realising it was your channel. Right at the start, where you're in your motorhome about to get some fuel and I'm sat here thinking, I recognise that voice, and he kinda looks familiar as well. Didn't think much more of it and continued watching and hearing you talk about your position in life at that moment. Watched pretty much all of it before I realise it's you!!! I've subbed and gonna spend a few days bingeing your videos. Up most respect for you man. I'm a nomad at heart, and through watching your Boondocking video, you've rekindled the desire in me. I *will* pursue the free life of the open road. I need to get my shit together first, but aim to do a year or two on the road and just see where it takes me. I have no responsibilities like a partner, kids etc so I could essentially just bugger off tomorrow, but I don't have a van/motorhome yet so I need to re-direct my focus towards achieving this goal. Might take me a year or two to get myself in the position where I can do it, but I'll get there. Stay safe mate and hunker down.

      You can start whenever you want from your car.
      Do be aware that it forces you more out into the public with covid-19.
      Your home is a place to sleep which you can do in a car.
      You could do the $10/mo. Planet Fitness membership for your showers and bathroom needs or there are boondocking ways to take care of it inside a vehicle with a 3 gallon bucket, bags, container, etc..
      The main challenge is getting rid of possessions or minimizing them to a small storage unit ($15+/mo.). Yes, it's an expense but a very small one compared to rent.
      There are lots of. YTs on this, but don't think you have to buy an expensive van and then remodel it. You just basically need something you can drive away in that has a comfortable place to sleep, which could be the driver seat reclined.
      Learn the laws in your area to avoid any knocks in the night.
      Steve has some comments on doing this in his documentary.

Always have one on your back when you're laying down or sitting and another in the freezer to switch it out with. Do that for a few days past when it stops hurting.
