Good evening guys! We are like two blocks away from Times Square in New York City,
with our 4x4 expedition truck and we found some free boondocking! Oh it's not
your normal boondocking but we found a little loophole. So it's
Sunday night and here's the kicker... The signs can be a little bit intimidating,
if you try reading too much into them. But since its a Sunday night we essentially
have until 7 a.m. tomorrow morning to park here! Uhhhm... Obviously our steps, we don't
have like power retractable steps on this camper. So I rigged up.... This neat,
little thing with some paracord. So that steps can be lifted up and retracted in for
the night. Because I just don't think it's a good idea to leave the steps out!
And ahhh since we are boondocking here in New York City...
Let's take in some of the sights and we'll see how the rest of the night goes!
Okay! We're leaving the camper parked on the street and heading into Times Square.
Literally two blocks away! We're bringing Shelby along with us and just like in
Salem we have that little backpack for her!
Okay! We're ready! This little bag works great. I love this bag! I'm so happy that
we brought it with us..... Okay, this is block Number 1 and that's 46th and little
Brazil Street.... Now this is the first time Beck and I have done anything remotely
close to urban parking in a city like... You know, we're out in the wild, we'll do
Walmart, we'll do casinos, we'll do random little pull outs on the side of the
highway but never a big city! It's gonna be kind of a new exp....Heck! It already is a
great experience but this is....I don't know, just stepping outside your comfort zone and
everybody needs to do that a little more often!.... I feel like an ant don't you?... It
is like so massive here!! Yeah, we are at intersection number 2...
Which is pretty much... Times Square!.... What a shitty location for a campsite!... Oh it's
terrible! Free campsite... Yeah, it's so crazy! We're camped and parked
whatever! Two blocks from this.
Okay, play along with me for this shot but I gotta give you a full pan-oh
Alright here it goes!
The lighting here is amazing!! Like there are no shadows.NONE!...
There's the full 360 guys! And.... There's where the ball drops at the turn of the
year every year... You know what honey, this is the place we grabbed a slice last time
we were here!...Is it really?... Yeah, I'm dead serious. Hey could I get one of those ones with
the spinach?... This one...Yes. Yeah, thank you!
That's a seriously awesome, make your own salad bar there but... I didn't come to New York City to have salad!
The sounds of a city!..... So instead of a slice of pizza, we opted for just get one
of these ahhh...Stromboli things and maybe we'll accept it else up along the street!
Worth it?...Mhhhh..... She's seriously like a dog going for a ride and hanging her head out the window here!
And our next stop is Roxy's for a slice of New York cheesecake... And... We've circled
back around Times Square!
I'm still totally in awe that we are pulling this off! Like so many levels of
pulling this off! You know, we drove the truck here, we
found a parking spot here, we're able to just go cruise around as we wish and
now all we need to do is have an uneventful night and an uneventful
departure out of New York. We did it!...We are half way there....Yeah!
Well so far so good! Huh! We left the bathroom light on. Everything
seems to be intact here! It's ahhh... trash day! So the trash and recycling trucks are
making their rounds..... Alright guys! That's a wrap for the night but the
video is still going because this is about boondocking for the night in New
York City. But..... We'll see in the morning and hopefully it's not eventful.
Well good morning guys! We made it through the night. No mysterious knocks
on the door. Things are really starting to come to life outside!
Alright! So here's our stairs. We were able to get them in last night nice and
easy! Now... Getting them out. Let's see how that goes! So paracord worked really well!
Now the task of getting everything out to the truck for the day!
How many boondocking spots have you found with coffee and pastries like ten feet from your front door?
This worked out really well for keeping our stuff inside the camper!
Well there was a little reminder from NYPD ahhh... It's, we're running a little behind
schedule because we're trying to film but it's 7:27. But here is what's cool... It's like
time to move along.... So Sunday night, New York City, if you want to like sleep
on the streets, I know that tell me come out wrong..... That's the night to do it!
Monday morning hits and we're here! Our day is going to continue but it's going
to continue in another video as we try to escape from New York! Thanks for
watching, hit that SUBSCRIBE button and we'll see you on the road!
