    Had to stealth camp on private property a few times and have mixed feelings

    The properties were out in the middle of nowhere. Before I did the first one, I thought it might be kind of fun but now I just feel wrong about it. On the other hand, I slept in a parking lot of a closed business and it didn't bother me and I slept behind a church without permission as nobody...

    Do you treat national parks the same as anywhere when stealth camping?

    I'm guessing all parks are different. I will be walking along highway 41 in southern Florida through the Big Cypress National Preserve.

    Stealth camping Miami area? Also who the good wingnuts

    So I'm casually considering dropping $$ to go to a concert in freaking Miami, or seeing if I can get hired on as concert staff / work-trade my way in, in part because it is so completely Unlike Things I Ever Do and it would be a novel experience, in part because no less than four artists/acts...

    Any websites that specialize in listing used converted vans?

    Is there any website that specializes in the sale of used converted vans for #vanlife/#rubbertramping? I'd travel to any state in the union for the right used van. Also any tips on buying used fleet vans? I hear those are really good deals as they are usually maintained really well. Thanks!

I think it's my physical comfort level, mostly. I have used a tent with a pillow and some small things to rest my feet on...

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