The Complete Boondocking Course

  • Course
  • 15 Lessons

An in-depth set of videos, workbooks, and resources that will teach you how to camp off-grid.

I love the idea of boondocking, but I'm not sure where to start!

Does that sound like you? Do you long for serene, wide open off-grid camping, but are overwhelmed by all of it?

We get it.

We've heard so many questions over the last few years:

  • "I have to confess to having anxiety since we can't make reservations and we're gambling we will find a site."
  • "Do you run your generator at night? What about solar power?
  • "How do you take enough fresh water with you?"
  • "I need internet for work - how can I stay connected in the wilderness?"
  • "I'm tired of paying money for campgrounds. How do I camp for free?"
  • "I'm worried about safety. How can I protect my family when I'm by myself in the middle of nowhere?"
Well today is your lucky day, friend! Because the Boondocking Course will answer all those questions & more 😃.

Hi, We're Jonathan & Ashley!

Who's behind this? Jonathan & Ashley Longnecker & their 4 amazing kids - also known as Tiny Shiny Home!

We fell in love with Boondocking several years ago and renovated a 1972 Vintage Airstream so we could travel full-time and camp off-grid as much as possible.

Then we bought 11 acres of off-grid land and started building our own sustainable desert oasis. Join us on our adventure!

FAQs

What's Included in the Boondocking Course?

Great question! You get 6 modules in a video library format. Each video has a worksheet to that you can download and print to follow along as well as comprehensive resource and product links for anything we mention. Plus, there's a place to leave comments and ask questions inside the course.

When does it start and end?

Enrolling in the Boondocking Course will grant you lifetime access. You’ll be able to re-watch lessons or stop in to ask questions whenever you want, watch on your phone or tablet, and get access to additional videos or updated content we may add.

But Can't I Find All This for Free on YouTube?

While there's definitely some great free boondocking info out there (we've read and watched all of it!), we noticed a few things:
  1. It's scattered across many articles and sites.
  2. Videos ramble and take forever to get to the point.
  3. Videos are often only about one part of a topic and not comprehensive.
  4. It takes a lot of your time to piece everything together. 
  5. Much of the info about things like power and internet aren't tailored for boondocking.
We believe this course fixes these problems and saves you time by providing:
  1. Quick, information packed videos that are fun to watch.
  2. All the info, links, and resources you need in one place.
  3. Practical, real-world usage tips for living off-grid.
  4. A private community where you can ask specific questions and get answers.
Short version? You can save yourself days of research and learn everything you need to know in about an hour. Plus you'll have fun doing it, we promise 😉

That being said, if you've already spent a bunch of time researching boondocking and feel comfortable doing it, this course may not be for you (and that's ok!)

What if I'm not happy with the course?

We'd never want you to be unhappy with your purchase. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, contact us in the first 14 days and we'll give you a full refund.

Are you ready to save hours of research & learn how to boondock?

Don't let camping off-grid overwhelm you! Go through this course, get out there, and live like you mean it!
