Boondocking really exists?
I cant believe that there are places that you can pull off the road and just stay there. Not only for free but without fear of being arrested. That's just crazy talk to a guy from Mass. Technically...

Question: One of the many many rules I see come up regarding free camping in the BLM is "always camp in established sites" ... who got to choose where the established sites are? That rule seems to negate just "pull off the road" and camp for a few days.
Same question for the National Forest... they start with "always camp established sites" but later in the fine print, they claim you can camp anywhere, as long as you're not too close or too far from a roadway, not too close to a body of water, not too close to a pay campground, not too close to blah blah.
Were these rules established by a "sounds good" committee, but are rarely enforced unless you're doing something stupid?
