The more you boondock the more one seems to build a sixth sense about where to park in terms of safety. It's in the air so to speak. We've been boondocking for years in Mexico, the U.S. and last summer in Canada. Never an issue.
There are lots of great free camping or boondocking sites complete with maps, GPS locations and detailed information.
Our four month trip last year through the Western U.S. and across Canada was accomplished without a generator. A few days high up in the mountains with fog and cold we had to conserve a bit. We even used an electric blanket which BTW uses very little battery. I couldn't imagine staying in rv parks when we have such wonderful out of the way places.
Try it, it's a lot of fun to get out into the wilderness.
