Must Have Boondocking Items?

Custom first aid/survival kit, Sawyer water filtration system, Leatherman, camp ax, pruning saw, two folding shovels, 25' tow strap, and several lengths of 1/2 inch plywood and 1x6s for leveling and bridge building (I've got a bent trailer bumper and stabilizer because I didn't bridge a rut that I should have). We can also carry up to 42 gals. of water in addition to the 31 gals. on-board. Not counting our regular meals, we have at least a weeks worth of dry provisions (milk, rice, macaroni, flour, etc.), canned and packaged meals. And Mini Bic lighters everywhere. Wish list: Hi-Lift Jack and a HenWay.

The term "boondocking" has such a different meaning for everybody on here. For some, boondocking could be parking in the middle of nascar track - parked somewhere without hookups. So they find a way to generate 120V power, bring in more water, and find a way to dispose of sewer.

For me, boondocking means dry camping, but without the picnic table and fire ring. So I always take a portable table, and I make a fire ring.

Most of my boondocking is in National Forests.

Yes, when I said boondocking, I meant real boondocking per the definitions listed in my sticky post.

I never leave home without:

400 watts solar
wind charger
solar lights
whiskey
steaks
BBQ
memory foam mattress
chainsaw
aircard - computer - camera
comfortable chairs

For every week of boondocking, we always carry two bottles of decent Zinfandel.

A blue boy by Barker, a macerator pump to pump it up into your truck, a larger water bladder for fresh water, a 12volt pump to pump the fresh water in, and a good filtration system for the water.

We always have a .357 Magnum and a 12 gauge, and not just when boondocking.

Make that a 4500Watt generator and a big air conditioner. And... a internet satellite hook up. I tell you it is hell out in the wilds anymore.

Driving home with our new-to-us TT, we stopped at Target for the 32" LED TV and Blu-Ray!
:D

On the topic, we had a popup and boondocked often. Without air conditioning anytime of the year, I would do what I did in the PUP and move most cooking outside on the grill and portable stove in an EZ-Up.
