    I got sober 42 years ago. It was one of the best decisions in my life. Life isn’t that easy, but facing it sober is the real thing! I’m glad you’re encouraging others. It’s worth it.

    For anyone curious about this, I worked for these dunes for 5 years. It is only $10 a night but you can only stay 30 days out of the year, and only 2 weeks consecutively with a 48 hour leave inbetween. This will include Northbeach and Oceano Campground as all 3 campgrounds are linked. Their system tracks your License plate. It's not like the golden days unfortunately where you could quite literally live out there indefinitely if you were smart enough
    Also you are correct in assuming you can camp out inside the dunes

    Im in Morro bay now, but, when I first moved here, I had the exact same setup and did the exact same thing. I had a campershell on my pickup, wired in some deepcycle batteries with solar for my electricity and just stayed in Oceano Dunes as much as possible. It was such a cool experience! Just to share: I worked for Sundbuggy Fun Rentals right there. I learned that the owner started there the same way! He lived out on the dunes and started with 1 buggy that he would rent. Now he has a massive fleet. Thanks for sharing this cool video!

      I’m still figuring out how it all fits together,I want to help others find their true authentic selves, which society tries so hard to separate us from. Many of us turn to vices to escape, and if I can help people find the lives they’re supposed to live, I think I can make a positive impact on this world.

    Yep, California beaches belong to the people. Though there are some beaches that are set as no camping. Pismo may go no camping because so many young people leave so much trash on the beach. I can’t imagine leaving trash on a beach. I don’t know what those people are thinking. When you’re off roading, don’t fly over the dunes at 50+, there have been so many deaths from crushed sternums because they land on the next dune that is going up, and slam chest on into the front of their bike at full speed. Also fourwheelers roll over on people out here because they go around the side of a dune at a steep angle. I had to go to the hospital for a surgery once, and they were like “Oh look someone who doesn’t have a dune biking injury”.

    IMHO you goofed 🥴 posting this video! (Maybe delete it fast😁). You might get yourself tossed out and restricted. And a flock of others will think they can do the same thing too. Your limited availability JUST got WAY worse. I appreciate your life prospective though👍👍. Happy Camping 🏕️

      It’s a state park, fully staffed with thousands of visitors a week… I keep all of my national forest sites and other discoveries a secret so they don’t get ruined like so many of my old spots in CO. Haven’t broken any rules. They have all records. Plenty of others have done this before me. They have literally reached out to me as a result of this vid and told me “good job, I did the same thing when I moved here”
      I do appreciate the time you took to watch the vid and drop some positive vibes in the comments 😁 and I get what you’re saying, it’s just not quite as you assume.

      It’s been pretty amazing… I’ve been spending a lot more time in national forests and in Santa Barbara and Ventura, but what an awesome spot to experience! I’ll be back to get a bit more footage before my journey evolves to the next phase.

    Hi 👋🏾 This video just happened to have popped up in my feed…. So glad I watched it! I love how you’re going for what’s important for Your Joy in life…I believe you will be instrumental in helping men transform their lives for the better!!! See if the area you choose to have your retreat has a “Land Bank” or similar program…With a little elbow grease (and paying someone for work you can’t do yourself), you can buy a home(s) and property(ies) outright, no mortgage/no rent!!! That in and of itself is a beauty life my friend…Keep on pushing on living a life of Freedom!!! 😎

      The lane I hope to buy in a few days will be in the Colorado mountains… good water, low cost, remote, almost no building restrictions… I plan on buying a modular barn, then running the electrical, plumbing, insulating, and finishing it myself.
      I love the land bank info. Could be an amazing option for the right person/people. I’m just a bit past that point in my planning.
