Soon-to-be noob

[Malkmus]

I’ve been reading here for months and I’ll be starting my nomadic journey in 2 months but still have so much to learn.  Been watching Bob’s YT videos for a year as well as a ton of others.  It is overwhelming with so much info but I wanted to get a head start on it.

That being said all the videos and reading shall help but nothing like experience learned doing it! So a male mid fifties I’ll embark on the nomadic life traveling and boondocking for a year which will be sufficient to assess if it fits me.  I’m freely doing it and know most people regret the things they didn’t do more so than the things they did.  

I wish my journey would have begun in the fall so I’d head down to AZ where seeming most congregate for the winter.  It will be beginning summer so everyone will have dispersed by then to all over the states or in very tiny groups.  Perhaps another thread but would be nice to hear the spots people boondock in the summers as I hope to stay mostly Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast where possible.

Was hoping to get to learn from some of the experienced ones in person kinda like an internship but that will be difficult for summer.  Anyway glad to be here and hope to continue to enjoy life and learn here.
