  2. Juanita Greenspan on October 17, 2022 at 8:02 am

    Good video.

  3. FF Bearded Prince on October 17, 2022 at 8:03 am

    I needed this! Thank you!

  4. Alberts_adventureZ on October 17, 2022 at 8:05 am

    try tying in ONX offroad. it highlights specifically public land roads.

  5. Theodore Martin on October 17, 2022 at 8:05 am

    Now , make a video of how the sasquatch scared the shit out of you and how you never want to go camping ever again.

  6. PrecisionT on October 17, 2022 at 8:07 am

    Thank you.

  7. jimflys2 on October 17, 2022 at 8:07 am

    Landgrid runs 10.00 per month. 100 per year. Some info is free though.

  8. Brandon Light on October 17, 2022 at 8:07 am

    This would have been perfect if half the parcels on land grid didn’t say unknown

  9. Kathryn Cain Madsen on October 17, 2022 at 8:08 am

    This is really a great video! Hey, if you want to you can also correct the use of past tense "ran" when it should be present tense "run" on your blog post and and with funny flashing words on your video. "It is run." "They run" the national parks. Helpful? Annoying? I know I’d want someone to tell me. Did I mention your photography is brilliant?!!! It really is brilliant.

  10. Ivan Camp on October 17, 2022 at 8:08 am

    Very jelus.

  11. Joshua Lewis on October 17, 2022 at 8:09 am

    Just wanted to say thank you for this video! I live in MI and often wondered how to find these off the beaten path places. These instructions are the best!

  12. Pseudo Echo on October 17, 2022 at 8:10 am

    Hi, thank you for sharing this video. I am in my 60s and an avid motorcyclist. I am currently in the process of gearing up to do my first SOLO wild/dispersed camping. While I love your videos, and I will stay up-to-date on your content, can you recommend a channel as informative as yours, but geared towards motorcyclists? 🙏

  13. Freeda Kaye on October 17, 2022 at 8:10 am

    I really appreciate this. I did a recon trip today to Huron Manistee forest and the GIS app was really helpful. I found a few spots that would work for me even with a 19 foot trailer.

  14. Steve Scramo on October 17, 2022 at 8:10 am

    I don’t see Land Grid app in my android store

  15. Dailey Practice on October 17, 2022 at 8:10 am

    Nice job on the video

  16. DIY Dad on October 17, 2022 at 8:12 am

    Great video, trying to plan my first dispersed camping this weekend in northern WI. Unfortunately state owned land it is illegal to camp or start fires on unless it is a designated reservable camp site. Only option is really national forest land a few hours away. Good resources it looks like land grid changed quite a bit is that still your go-to resource for land ownership data?

  17. Jim K on October 17, 2022 at 8:13 am

    Great job! Very cool tutorial.

  18. Manivan Adventures on October 17, 2022 at 8:15 am

    Dude this video is everything I needed! Thank you!

  19. Scrubdilla on October 17, 2022 at 8:17 am

    Great video! Thank you so much for this. I’m heading to the UP for some camping and mountainbiking and really dislike staying at campgrounds due to the amount of people and some are incredibly loud. I will be using these tips to find dispersed camping around the area.

  20. Anna Shurlow on October 17, 2022 at 8:17 am

    watching this after doing my first time at lake ann last night 🥺 now I’m out by boyne

  21. Rebecca Bongo on October 17, 2022 at 8:18 am

    Does he have a tiktok page

  22. Katie Stout on October 17, 2022 at 8:19 am

    Two track, two track … what is a two track???

  23. Carmen Manta on October 17, 2022 at 8:20 am

    This is great! Mersi mult 🍻

  24. Jason Lang on October 17, 2022 at 8:23 am

    Hell yeah this was exactly what i was looking for! I’m also a Michigander!

  25. Rebecca Bongo on October 17, 2022 at 8:23 am

    How do you deal with people who come up and say that that’s their spot when you’ve already found a nice spot

  26. Dirty Jak & The Dusty Bean on October 17, 2022 at 8:26 am

    Great video and just perfect for us as we are looking to do this.

  27. Carl Miller on October 17, 2022 at 8:26 am

    Very nice job on providing some great information!

  28. Al Christensen on October 17, 2022 at 8:26 am

    It looks like Landgrid is now Regrid and doesn’t work the same.

  29. Karen Sanders on October 17, 2022 at 8:28 am

    What’s the chance something like this exists off the beach of Lake Superior?

  30. D C on October 17, 2022 at 8:28 am

    Awesome vid!
    In a selfish way / I’m glad this doesn’t have too many views

  31. Rhonda Kendrick on October 17, 2022 at 8:31 am

    thank u for the info

  32. Just TL on October 17, 2022 at 8:32 am

    Nice work!

  33. Samantha Cook on October 17, 2022 at 8:33 am

    Anyone know of any cool hiking spots in Utah ?….

  34. Rob Myers on October 17, 2022 at 8:34 am

    Very helpful.

  35. Chuck Trivette on October 17, 2022 at 8:35 am

    Is this an ad for the homeless? Seattle and Portland, here they come!

  36. Jacqueline on October 17, 2022 at 8:42 am

    I just found your channel tonight. You were basically in my backyard in this video. I too camp out of my vehicle and like to do photography. I love to explore and disperse camp. Just this year I started exploring the lower peninsula I mostly go to the upper peninsula. But there are so many cool places by my house. Next time you’re headed up to this area let me know. I have a great backyard for camping as well and I often camp in my backyard when I’m too broke to go anywhere lol my friends All come up and camp here as well.

  37. Irma Guerrero on October 17, 2022 at 8:43 am

    YALL TALK TOO DAMN MUCH

  38. Boss Up on October 17, 2022 at 8:44 am

    Great video!!! 🙏

  39. Paul Betka on October 17, 2022 at 8:45 am

    ✌️✌️🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  40. MOMS Mushrooms Jody Foster on October 17, 2022 at 8:45 am

    You guys are brilliant. This is exactly what I wanna do except with my dogs. I’m taking my Subaru outback and will be leaving Southwest Michigan to travel to the UP and back. #TheRoadLessTraveled

  41. Gary Oz on October 17, 2022 at 8:47 am

    Can you leave your car on those two tracks and backpack out into the forest some before setting up camp? If so is it advisable?

  42. G Rapids on October 17, 2022 at 8:47 am

    Landgrid no longer shows the parcel owner

  43. Rhonda Kendrick on October 17, 2022 at 8:48 am

    soon people just don’t care we where tote to pick up after are self and to clean up around but some rune it for all

  44. EndtheDrugWarToday.com on October 17, 2022 at 8:49 am

    Great video! Thanks for posting!!

  45. MOMS Mushrooms Jody Foster on October 17, 2022 at 8:56 am

    This is the absolute best video on YouTube to explain how to locate a great place off grid to free camp

  46. Kevin Crowe on October 17, 2022 at 8:57 am

    Great information. Thanks. But you need to slow in down, just a bit. Nothing like camping on speed.

  47. Burgest on October 17, 2022 at 8:57 am

    Ah man, I’m so jealous watching videos like this living in a place like south africa. It’s so dangerous here in rural areas so car camping in actual remote areas is nigh impossible 🙁

  48. borg386 on October 17, 2022 at 8:59 am

    Great video and information, however just like every other video on this subject nobody ever says if you need a permit, permission, or need to ask the local forest ranger if camping is allowed or not. All you ever hear is that you can camp on national forest land, but under what circumstances, and what do you need to get permission to camp there?

  49. Mordicai on October 17, 2022 at 8:59 am

    Thanks for the tips, I live in the city an am craving some nature time.

  50. Eric Hess on October 17, 2022 at 8:59 am

    How long are you allowed to stay in one spot?
