    Although I too have been subjected to inconsiderate people in campgrounds I feel a bit safer in them with people around vs out in the middle of woods all alone. I hear there are some people worse than just being inconsiderate… they would do you intentional harm … what about defense out there?

    Dude all the spots you show are way too close to the road. I been camping in the forest for 20 years and all the spots I find are way off the road. I guess to each there own

    My car has absolutely everything I need to car camp. I made this really perfect wood-burning stove out of a paint can and two small soup cans. It will be for warming me up and cooking. I have everything organized perfect, I have two buckets of food and of water. I even have I thing to pump water and make it come out as a spray for a shower. I’m totally set! unfortunately I don’t have a dog but pretty soon I will have a gun. I’m so thankful for this video. It was really awesome!

    Roads on MVU maps that are lined with little dots on either side, as you can see in the video at 13:30, are designated for dispersed camping.

  7. Dank Dizzl on July 17, 2021 at 3:25 am

    I want to know more about that tent.

  10. Robert GILLIAM on July 17, 2021 at 3:34 am

    are you ever happy?

  11. Kyle on July 17, 2021 at 3:34 am

    National forests are better then the parks. I love absolutely love the parks, but the fact is the forests are much bigger in terms of acreage and get like half the yearly visitors.

    Also I don’t know why this is getting downvoted. Maybe a lot of obnoxious people mad that you called the fuzz on obnoxious people like themselves? I don’t like calling the cops but they had it coming! I’ve been in that situation myself and it’s annoying as hell!

    Wyane National Forest is Awsome in Ohio for camping for free

  19. Gavin Baker on July 17, 2021 at 3:42 am

    Sorry you had a bad experience here in Ohio. Wayne National forest and Shawnee state forest are good places

  20. Matt Aspel on July 17, 2021 at 3:44 am

    This might be a silly question but if you want to explore the area how do you not get lost? Should you take a compass with you?

  21. Andrew Forster on July 17, 2021 at 3:44 am

    What kind of tent it that?
    Thank you in advance.

  28. BlueEyes Alrac on July 17, 2021 at 3:51 am

    That’s how me and my family camp, I found some amazing places to camp the free. I pick boondocking over camp grounds. We have a 73 Apache Mesa. Colorado has some amazing places to camp for free.

    Watched 4 minutes of this tattle tell liberal bitch complain, why did you call the police if she told you ahead of time out of respect they would be loud, and why do you need to go to bed at 10am while camping your a bitch and shouldn’t go camping, you and your boyfriend should just stay with your yearly San Francisco visits.

  43. BrokenWishbone on July 17, 2021 at 4:06 am

  44. Laura C on July 17, 2021 at 4:08 am

    I just emailed the one near me as they don’t say anything about dispersed camping

  45. ryan B on July 17, 2021 at 4:10 am

  46. RV Boondocker on July 17, 2021 at 4:11 am

    Hey Tommy, are you still camping? Many of us enjoy your videos and style a lot.

  47. Mon Frig on July 17, 2021 at 4:13 am

    Park cops are just little penis revenue generators

  48. wayne Last on July 17, 2021 at 4:13 am

    What if aliens are using campsites to bait humans? Or the government is baiting people?

  49. Robert Plant on July 17, 2021 at 4:13 am

    No stop. You’re gonna make our forests crowded

  50. Gloria Moore on July 17, 2021 at 4:14 am
