I started my planning last year. I knew about this lifestyle and did quite a bit of research. With a seemingly collapsing life around me, I have decided to start the journey. Halfway through, I see the trailer for Vagabondland and thought, crap! This is bad timing. As with the economy in the crapper, looming evictions, fewer job options, I fear this may be a perfect storm for many to try this out. Sure, many will regret it and go back , but if there's noticeable influx of campers, I fear more laws will be implemented, more restrictions and of course a possible untapped resource to tap for cash by the government.
I'm an outdoorsman and experienced in hunting, fishing, offroading, all around outdoorsman, so I'll be fine. I'm just concerned my timing is too late as I wont be on the road for several months. I still have lots of stuff to sell, ends to tie up, etc.
Yes, like many others, I'd rather fly under the radar, but I'm afraid the radar will become too large.
