 Do you have enough fuel (vehicle, cooking, etc), food, [[water:drinking|water]], and [[electrical:12v:intro|power]] to make it through your outing?

+Not every spot is good for every boondocker.  Some like shady areas while those dependent on solar may want open field.

+Some terms to be aware of:
+  * trailhead:  an area where people park to go off hiking or riding.  Likely to be quite busy.  Might be a pit [[lifestyle:faq_toilet|toilet]] there.
+  * day use:  only for day use (and may require a fee).  No overnight camping.
+  * OHV area:  **O**ff **H**ighway **V**ehicle area for quads, dirtbikes, UTVs, etc.  You can camp there but noise and dust are in the forecast.
+You can use an app like [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twostepsbeyond.uspubliclands|U.S. Public Lands]]((written by experienced nomads [[https://www.youtube.com/c/Technomadia|Technomadia]])) to ensure you are still on public lands while you wander.

 Arriving in darkness can be stressful.  It may be best to pull over into a temporary spot at night then resume your hunt when the sun comes up.

+===== reprovisioning =====
 Having more [[food:start|food]] and [[water:start|water]] storage can extend your camping and minimize reprovisioning runs. Consider adding [[food:no_refrigeration|nonperishable foods]] as backup.
