Hi Nature Lover, thanks for your honest opinion. I hear you loud and clear and am moving away from the universal symbol idea. The original intention was to have fun with this project and learn some new things about boondocking. My first experience was this past summer, and now I’m hooked. Just...

Hello again - I gathered everything you and others shared and turned it into The Boondocking Icon Project. It's an experiment and the main intent is to continue the conversation rather than impose an icon. Enjoy! https://www.trischlerdesign.com/blog/2020/the-boondocking-icon-project

Gotcha! That's a great resource. I missed the link at first glance. Thanks for reminding me.

Yeah - I guess you could say I fall into this category. Now that my wife and I know about boondocking, we can't find any good reasons to pay to stay somewhere. Instead, we bring a tent and find the closest free spot (usually in the woods). We slept in our ford focus once. I'm sure there are...

Thanks for the generous responses! To clarify, I’m working on a class project. My intent is to learn about the community and design something as a result of the learning process. I really don’t want to sell or to market anything. The thought occurred to me that some symbol might be one...

  Thanks! I'll take a look around. Do any stickers come to mind that would be easy enough to share?

Does anyone know if there's a universal symbol or flag for people boondocking? If there's not, would that be a worthwhile pursuit for the community?  I'm a master of design student who has found myself learning about/exploring the world of nomads (in the USA) and I'm hooked. The content here...
