Buying Land

^They were expecting to meet "John Doe" there...

My approach is always "wassup?" and be friendly, especially if they are acting scary... like have guns out and pointed in my direction. Never had any problems. Aholes generally get confused if you treat them like a friend and aren't afraid.

Those dudes were shady. It happened in 3 different states.
Why would they be expecting to meet John Doe out there in some isolated spot??
Drug deals?
Nah I think they were scoping the camp
They were blocking the inly exit route too with their trucks.
I'm not going to be friendy in such scenario, always just say I dont know you in harsh voice shut myself inside the rig so they cant see if I'm aiming at them already
If they were openly aggresseve Id be really mean

What's it like there?

I'm not even sure yet...it will be an exporation of several different regions first and then a search for an old cheap log cabin.

What can make someone pull into very isolated occupied site and ask: do you know "John Doe" or similar?? Never really figured that out. Seems like scoping the rig for robbery to me

Is there anything you're not afraid of? You might consider a solar driveway alarm.They have a range of 1 mile or more to let you know well before someone walking or driving gets to your camp. These things could happen on your land or public land.

I thought you already had it...

If they left you alone after that, seems like they weren't out to harm you or steal your stuff... else why would they not follow through?

Because I didnt engage with them. They wanted to engage and either use it to rob me or to gather more info about who is camping.
Or to check if anyone is in the camp and steal stuff if no one.
They pull in to check and take it from there, do you know John Foe BS is just a ruse
I always setup 4 camping chairs.
RV couple were attacked in Nebraska this year, one killed, one wounded in the robbery
