About this listen
Boondocking has gained an incredible amount of popularity as more and more people tire of overcrowded campgrounds and take to the backroads of America's public lands in search of peace, solitude, and free - yes, free - camping.
Your RV is your key to accessing the remote yet highly sought-after seclusion and tranquility of camping in the wild outdoors. Knowing how to get off the grid is crucial for successfully navigating your boondocking adventures. But going off-grid requires serious preparation, planning, and even practicing before you take your first trip. This book is for newbie boondockers as well as those who have been out of the circuit for a while.
In Boondocking Secrets: Adventure on the Road Less Travelled, you will discover:
- The one resource boondockers overlook and end up missing out on the best sites
- The key to finding the best spots boondockers are welcome, including government-managed free public land
- The number one (surprising) item boondockers insist on for saving water
- A list of the necessary gear for a successful boondocking experience
- The difference between wallydocking, casino camping, and stealth or pirate camping
- Fifteen tips for making the most of your on-board systems
- Insider's information about specific geographical areas that require extra consideration and planning
- No-trace principals and why the best boondockers follow them
- A bonus section with the top states where you can find free boondocking campgrounds, where the top campgrounds are, and the lowdown on each one
- And much more...
The number one reason boondockers fail and turn back home is lack of preparation! This book will help you succeed where those others have failed.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Boondocking literally means to "dock" in the "boonies," camping on your own off the grid away from campgrounds, free to howl at the moon, run around in your BVDs, or just read your book in peace and quiet with no one around. But boondocking also means you're on your own, and you'll want to go prepared. Here, Sunny Skye gives you the basics you'll need to know, things like the best rig to have, being independent, coping with boredom and loneliness, as well as dealing with insects, wild animals, and pests.

I started my backpacking days in my late 20s and have not stopped since. I still feel there are so many new places to discover, people to meet, new food to try. When I was a newbie traveler, I made many mistakes, forgot to take essential items, and just made some bad choices. Over the years, through experience and learning from others, I have learned what you need to do to travel as safely as possible, what essential items to take, how to take care of your health, and how to make the most of your trip.

Story
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

The narrator had a pleasant voice but she mispronounced many words
I enjoyed the book
it was well written and the narrator had a very pleasant voice.
very easy to listen to……
but there were locations out west that she mispronounced and it was just a little bit distracting from what she was actually reading out loud because you would want to try and correct it but you couldn’t!
however, I’m not going to subtract that from the fact that it was a really informative and well presented book….it had a lot of great information and I’m very grateful for it.

Love this book!
Boondocking is such an exciting concept I have always wanted to do it but don't know how to get started. This is such a great book! This book gives you tons of information and tips, so you know everything about boondocking to start your own. Now I am ready to take on my first trip! I especially appreciate and like the chapter on no trace principles, everyone should follow those! Get your book if you have ever wanted to travel in an RV!

Woah
So, with everything getting more and more expensive, I thought I'd try my hand at staying in an RV and working remotely from there. So, to prepare for this, I decided to read up on RV camping since I'll pretty much be doing that full time after I sell my house. Let me tell you, this book is exhaustive! I have been watching videos for a few months now but this book still taught me a few secrets that I hadn't come across yet.
If you're like me and are looking to live the boondocking life OR you just want to boondock for vacation, this is a must have book. Pick it up and join us!

Boondocking Adventures Unraveled & Made Simple 👌
This book is a boon for boondocking enthusiasts and wannabes. I had no idea that there was an exact science behind boondocking and I could never imagine myself doing it. But after reading this exhaustive book by S. K. O'Brian boondocking makes sense and doable. The advice & suggestions given here can and must be followed by campers in general. What I loved about the book is that the author explains everything there is to know before you set out on your adventure. The author suggests to first start by camping in your driveway, then a little further away from your home, as dry runs to see where you stand in your preparedness before you head out into the wild. Excellent advise. Even the make and model of stuff needed for your ultimate success is mentioned in the book along with loads of tips & hacks. I loved the tips on how to conserve water, without sacrificing hygiene and the chapter on 'No Trace Principles'. Noteworthy thing is the author wants us to have a good time in the wild and also wants us to respect Nature & Wild Life. The narration of Sherrice Williams is fun to listen to and will transport you to different places! Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this book. The list of the necessary gear for a successful boondocking experience was something that I hadn't thought of prior to listening to this and all of the tips that they gave were not something that I could have gotten on Google. Must buy!

So exciting!!
I can not wait to be able to actually go out into the wide traveling all over eventually! I have 2 young kids at the moment so it will probably be awhile before I can make this a reality. But this audiobook is PERFECT to prep for your journey(s)! I’m sure plenty of people have some rough experiences simply because they weren’t prepared to the best of their abilities. But this will guide you step by step and teach you so much along the way that you may have never thought about until it was too late. Best Boondocking book I’ve come across so far!

Great Resource
This is a great resource for camping at essentially dispersed sites, something all of us Coloradans are trying to find. I've been to many of the sites mentioned and they're fantastic, and added some more to my list for the future!
As I have an RV, I especially loved the tips and tricks for boondocking. Some of these seem so obvious, but I never even thought of them! Gave detailed information on what to look for online ahead of time--something that is a necessity! Also, great tip on talking to other boondockers for info, as often the crowd is friendly and I know I'm happy when I can help. I'm glad they included the no trace principles, as it's always a good reminder!

This was a fun book to listen to, especially as it got me excited to plan my next RV trip! I never thought that I'd have the courage to embark on a Boondocking adventure, but this audiobook provided such invaluable tips that I feel prepared for such a trip, no matter was surprises come my way. It has opened-up a whole new world of adventures, and I am just so grateful I found this book to equip me for all that awaits on the open road!
