I wish there was a mandatory read of the sticky thread about boondocking before people could use the word boondocking in a post.
We usually camp off the power grid here on the east side of the US and the word 'BOONDOCKING' doesn't quite fit.
I always refer to 'camping off the power grid' in my stories.
We also have very few 'DISPERSED' camping sites here on the East side of the US as well. You can throw a rock into the woods here and will probably get three or rocks being thrown back at you. Too many peoples here on the East side of the US.
Doesn't really matter what the correct word might be just as long as you can get out in the woods and enjoy them while we still have such areas to use... When the Great SouthWest Desert extends from the MIss River to Calif due to the on-going climate changes we may have alot more places to camp off the power grid coming up...
I can remember running deer out in West Texas back in the 60's and not seeing another person outside our base camp for over a week... That just doensn't happen anymore
