    I've literally spent decades avoiding telling people about the free camping around Moab so it wouldn't get ruined. I've seen camping area after camping area get closed or turned into pay sites, then reserve and pay sites, or just get shut down completely. I hate TH-cam and Instagram. Next year everybody needs to go on a cruise for vacation so those of us who remember the glory days can relive them one more time before we walk away and leave the area to be trashed by influencers.

    We loved Dead Horse Point State Park. We camped there for four days. The sun rises & sun sets are wonderful and so are the Rim trail hikes & cliff rim views. Thunderstorms over the canyons, can be quiet dramatic. Sites have electricity, picnic tables with shelter, and there's a dump station. Just remember to bring your own potable water.

    Man Oh Man! Just what we need is more people youtubing the gorgeous desert southwest. It has absolutely ruined the calm and scerene desert atmosphere with endless persession of massive rigs with trailers, OHV's, jeeps. I have really come to appreciate the true boondockers. The car camping, tent pitching, hikers that can appreciate the desert without trampling it to death.

    VERY well done ! Moab has changed a bit since we were there 20 years ago... Camping anywhere you wanted was no issue & it was the end of the Summer. Had one of the best dinners ever at a converted house with just a few tables and a great chef. It was a little spendy but it was so good & our anniversary, we didn't care. Hiking in The Arches & Canyon land are GREAT ! And yes; it looks a lot like Horseshoe Bend.

    If you're heading south for warmer temps, our favourite area is around Kodachrome SP near Escalante and Bryce. There is great hiking and touring in the area and also good boondocking just down the road from the SP campground. The SP has three different campgrounds which are all lovely, some with services including incredible showers, but some with lovely views and a bit dusty/rougher locations. All great!

      @markweaver1012 ปีที่แล้ว

      We also found one of our favorite boondocking spots near Kodachrome Basin. Since we travel with a dog, we're always hunting places where we can all hike together. Most NPs ban dogs on trails, so in that area, we hiked in both Kodachrome Basin SP and Red Canyon near Bryce (which is run by the USFS rather than the NPS). We did stop at Bryce, but you can have your dog only on the rim there, not down in the canyon. Also near Kodachrome, Grosvenor Arch on Cottonwood Canyon Road is well worth a stop (and a climb/scramble up to the top).

I’m a lifelong camper and love to see how others camp with their equipment, gear, cooking, etc. Some commenters here obviously unhappy with the hordes of tourists descending into their lifelong favorite spots, and I certainly share their feelings and resentment. Seems to be so little respect anymore and I’m frankly at a loss to recommend a solution. Only thing I can come up with is to visit these places during off peak times, get some good quality gear, and tough it out during the less than ideal weather conditions. Not perfect but better than being elbow to elbow with mobs of tourists. We want to visit Moab this spring but not sure of the best time, some research is in order. Thanks for another quality video.

    I must have been there just before you. I live in Utah, but had never camped at Island in the Sky or Dead Horse Point. You usually have to make reservations far far in advance for those or especially for the Devil's Garden in Arches. I looked for a cancellation and was able to get 2 nights so I snagged it. It is a very nice campground (Kayenta), there are two. The other is Wingate. I love our State campgrounds, but I really think they are overpriced. Dead Horse is $50/nt for electricity only. However the sites are all nicely paved and the restrooms are flush so I guess that counts. How did you like the Moab Brewery? I had the best burger of my life there a few years ago and I'm not even a burger person!

    I'm glad that you try to get to camp beefore dark. I have a pop-up camper, I really hate it when people show up to camp after 9pm when it's dark... they hunt for a spot and often shine their lights right into my rig, so disrespectful to other campers.

    I was curious and looked up my own state's health code regulations about dogs. Letting you eat inside with a dog would be an absolute no-no here unless it was a service animal. Even outside dining requires that the area not be fully enclosed (which may even prohibit a screened porch, not sure), has a separate entrance which has to be used by people with pets, and has posted signs specifically indicating that pets are allowed in that area.

      Thanks! We haven't actually needed to use Starlink yet and since it's paused, we are saving $135 bucks a month. Actually... one spot we could have used it, but it would have only been for one night. But, I can tell it's working better out West, by all the rigs we see it on! Still glad we have it as a back up.

    That's a shame. We stayed there for a couple weeks 3 years ago, on Dalton Wells Rd., but they have priced us out, so we will not return there. So sad. $15 is a lot for us, as we are retired FTers living off of SS. For comparison we are wintering over in a nice RV park now in S. TX, near Brownsville for only $170/mo or $5.67/day for a FHU RV park (+ electric of course.). We run our solar in the park which spares the electricity we use. Even though we have a 50a hookup, last month's electric bill was only $25 as the weather is mild here. To be fair, if we have to run both rooftop AC units on our Class A MH, we have seen electric bills as much as $75-$100/mo. here. Last winter we stayed at the LTVAs near Quartzsite AZ/Imperial Dam CA that cost less than $1 a day and this includes not just a place to stay, but unlimited water, dump and trash disposal. There's plenty of other free boondocking areas in UT though - some near there, off Island in the Sky RD (UT 313) and a little farther N on 191 off of Valley City Rd (BLM 144) by Copper Mine Ridge.

    I never noticed this before until this video. You've got Louie's harness on upside down. Not sure if that's intentional, but I think the leash ring It's supposed to be at the top so that the leash is not around the neck.

    • @IreneIronTravels
      @IreneIronTravels  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is a front style harness called the Easy walk. It’s designed to help with pulling by turning the chest/body instead of clipping on the back like a sled dog. 😊 works pretty well… but Louie does need some leash training still!

    My wife and I truly enjoyed this episode, very beautiful location. We will be taking a 3 month trip in 2023 and plan on doing some BML stays. Our most concerning issue/question is when we leave our beloved 19' 1999 Airstream Bambi to explore what are the chances we get back to an empty campsite? :( we have a pretty good lock but I know they are a joke to thieves if they really want your camper. any suggestions?

    • @IreneIronTravels
      @IreneIronTravels  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello and thanks for watching! Sounds like a fun trip you have planed for next year! The biggest thing we do to help feel comfortable with the area is to read reviews from www.campendium.com to see what other campers have experienced. You're right that if a thief really wants something they'll figure out a way to get it. We've never seen or experienced any theft type activity out on free land in the couple years we've been doing it. We use a AMP trailer lock amzn.to/3FNLmHD as well as the wifi cameras I showed in this video. Most areas you can tell right away by the "feel" of the area on how safe it is.

    You guys need to get a tie-out for Louie. That will give him 30-50 feet to explore instead of that tiny little leash you put him on outside your trailer. Also, why do you keep caging him in your truck? That cage looks way too small and it’s wire so it’s painful for him to bang into as your bouncing down the trail. Let him be free or get a bigger soft sided cage.

      Thanks! Louie is a Basenji puppy and the breed sometimes requires to be kenneled to help with anxiety, stress, separation, etc. Meaning he doesn’t just sit on your lap and sleep… he would be all over the place. The kennel makes him feel safe and he sleeps happily when we drive.. mostly. We started when we got him at 2 months old and he is only 10 now. I think we will be able to transition to a harness and bed in the back soon.😊

Don't buy into their hype. Within a few years, it will be $25. She also said she will drive into Arches- there is another more significant FEE.
    I appreciate her light hearted attitude about fees. Given their clear wealth, they are not sweating the money- she even smiles when she talks about fees, however many in that area are struggling big time. Many are now homeless. I've run into these good people- deep in the canyons living off the land. One use to be a big city lawyer in LA. This is wrong. Economic and other policies have a real impact on people's lives. It is economic warfare and don't get me started on the homeless issues in town. Their solution- more fees. More regulations. Tragic...but I am glad they enjoyed their holiday. Do stop by some food trucks and at least support local businesses- I'll give them that much.

    *Newly Updated Safety Suggestions;
    I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
    Although, I just noticed your TH-cam channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living.
    I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions
    I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
    People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
    I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
    Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
    I feel that you , and others TH-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
    I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
    I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their TH-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
    Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
    Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
    I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
    *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
    You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
    Do your research for the best fit for you
    Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables.
    Consider theses items:
    *Mini portable power charging station.
    I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
    *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
    Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal.
    Research to see what you prefer.
    *Very Inportant:
    Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
    There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations.
    *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
    Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
    There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission.
    Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand.
    You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
    *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
    *vehicle battery jumper cables
    *Vehicle Jumper cables
    *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
    Smoke detectors and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
    *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
    Exterior vehicle cameras
    Interior vehicle cameras
    *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
    *Portable spotlights, and lanterns
    Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
    *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies.
    Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons.
    Don’t forget to bring
    Bear Spray
    Pepper spray
    Where is allowed
    If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
    However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
    Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
    Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
    Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
    Keep your vehicle gas filled
    Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
    Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
    Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, washer fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze.
    Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set to rotate.
    Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
    Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
    Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump.
    Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
    It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
    Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
    Keep Enjoying Yourself,
    Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
    Just..Please continue to
    Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
    Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
    God Bless You, and everyone
    Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, etc.
    Please Be Safe.....
    God Be With You...
