camping

I've been wanting to go camping in the Southwest for a long time using the BLM lands available (live in Chicago atm), and I was wondering if any of you suggest any good spots nearish a city/town that I could replenish supplies. Near some lakes or streams too. That would be great.

Does anyone know of any places that exist today like Taylor Camp in Hawaii from 69'-77'?

Looking for someone, or a few people that are interested in going off grid for the winter. We'd build a nice shelter, fire pit, etc. I have the skills for this and if you do too that would work great. Trying to get this going asap. If you have a car, I have gas money-but would have to figure...

thought I'd share with you some photos from Hedge-U-Cation 2017 - this is a cool little event in SW England, mainly based around teaching kids and teenagers skills that relate to the travelling lifestyle... It lasts for around 10 days with a big party on the second weekend featuring underground...

I have gotten almost everything ready to go. As soon as my performance art is ready it will be time to blow this Popsicle stand. The thing i suck most at bumming around is finding a good place to camp, I always pick the buggiest, swampiest most miserable places. So I was hoping some of you...

Read some comments referring to a StP camp at nationals this year? I would absolutely love to be a part of that. This will be my first time going to rainbow, a camp full of less trippy hippy folks would be rad! Anyways, is anybody organizing this? If so I would like to help :)

There are a lot of what I call “power-line” roads in my area, that are essentially electric-company easements. They cut through all kinds of forests, and from what I can tell go all over the state.. This is the closest one to my house: Checking google maps, it looks like if I wanted to, I...

I've been backpacking around Asia for a while, currently in Bali. Been camping most nights.

Thanks to him I was able to spend two nights in a 5* resort in Bali for the price of a...

I really love National Parks, and I am planning to hit up Yosemite and a couple others out west this summer. Well I got this idea that I could just camp in the parks while I was there, maybe just off some of the hiking trails they have through the park. Anyone have any experience doing this? I...

Hello, I was planning on stealth camping in the woods to avoid the 9-5, 40-hour work week, slave jobs. Basically my plan is to, every night, go into the woods far enough to be hidden, set up my tent, sleeping bag and sleeping pad, and then sleep there for the night. I won't be "living" in a...

I learned to camp this summer! The few of you that know me know I'm more of a shelter hopper. This year, I got job and staying in the shelter with a job wasn't a good option. The other clients have no respect for themselves or anyone else so I left and started sleeping outside. I met a guy and...

Recently, I've been getting a lot more suggesting to camp out instead of looking for a squat. It turns out it's a lot safer and a lot more peaceful and private. Just like with squat, I have no sure appropriate gear, but I need to expand my options and way of thinking for the sake of my survival...
