Boondocking has always been about independence — choosing where you go, how you camp, and how much you rely on outside systems.
Boondocking Magazine was created with that same mindset.
Rather than following the traditional outdoor media model, we’re building a platform that reflects how people actually travel, camp, and live off-grid today.
A Platform Built Around Real Use
Boondocking is practical by nature. Gear gets used. Systems get tested. Plans change with weather, terrain, and time.
Our editorial approach reflects that reality.
We focus on stories, gear, and experiences that come from real-world use — whether that’s extended off-grid stays, weekend escapes, or long stretches on back roads far from services.
The goal is simple: content that’s useful, grounded, and earned.
Why Digital Comes First
Boondocking Magazine is digital-first by design.
This allows us to:
- Publish deeper features when they matter
- Integrate photography, field notes, and video naturally
- Let content live beyond a single issue cycle
Print remains an important part of our future, but digital allows us to build the readership and community thoughtfully before ink ever hits paper.
Free Digital Access, by Design
We currently offer free digital access because accessibility matters.
Lowering the barrier allows more readers to:
- Explore the lifestyle
- Discover new destinations and ideas
- Engage with contributors and field-tested gear
A strong, informed readership benefits everyone — readers, contributors, and partners alike.
A Long-Term View for Brands
Boondocking Magazine works best with brands that value credibility and longevity.
Products appear in context — in use, in the field, and as part of real systems. The focus is on long-term visibility rather than short-lived impressions.
That approach creates trust, and trust lasts longer than any campaign.
Community at the Center
At its core, Boondocking Magazine is shaped by the people who live this lifestyle.
Readers, contributors, and creators all play a role — sharing experiences, lessons learned, and perspectives from the road.
This is a publication built around participation, not distance.
Looking Ahead
As the magazine grows, readers can expect:
- Thoughtful editorial features
- Field-driven gear coverage
- More voices from across the boondocking community
The direction is intentional, the pace is deliberate, and the focus remains on authenticity.
