^I've been full time for almost 3 yrs. I've never stayed at a campsite.
Jackson would be no prob. As long as you are not posting up throwing garbage everywhere and looking like a vagrant, the town is open arms to ppl willing to work and help the community.
I spent the day down there last fall talking w cops, ppl that live there and business owners etc. All good.
Just outside of town in all directions is nowhereville WY.
It's the same in Bozeman.
Byates has a very stealthy rig. It's pro level for undercover van life.
This would work too

Undercover van life is not a thing in a ski town unless he has a fake plumbing or electrical company logo on the side.Quote:

Noone w half a brain would want to stay in town. National forest everywhere. Virtually no law. Couldn't be easier.
I've literally been doing it for almost 3 years and 7 winters.
He's "upscale" by his own estimation so of course the forest ranger peons will make an exception for him.
Virtually no law? Try again. The fact you say that shows you are just talking out of your ass. The forest service has regulated the fuck out of all the nearby camping zones. They had to because unregulated dispersed car camping areas all had literally hundreds of pounds of human shit piling up in them.
Enforcement is a priority. Its heavily patrolled plus there's local nimbys who volunteer to go around and write down plate numbers for the Freddies. Good luck with that.
So your telling a full time van guy who has stayed near Jackson dozens of times over the years that it's not possible? Wtf. You must live near Benny in Connecticut.
Jackson allows overnight parking near the rec center in the center of town.
I literally talked a a sheriff explained I was thinking of working in town etc. All good.
Are you heading to Breckenridge for a big ski vacation next year?
You have to apply for one of those spots at the Rec Center and employees get first dibs champ.
LEOs are very informed of the laws they’re paid to enforce and never, ever lie.
This is definitely incorrect information.Quote:

All of those classic RV spots near the rec center have been eliminated with bike lane bollards, fwiw.
Joe Rice owns 7 restaurants and counting in Jackson and likes me very much.
I also do private work for " ppl of means"
It's not that fucking complicated
Joe rice owns apartment buildings for his employees, but doesn’t own parking spots, except his own. However, I think he rents all of his restaurant spaces, and not the lots. (?) Maybe the new Sidewinders if you know him, (owned by Fine Dining Group) but I don’t think his employees are allowed to live out of vehicles at any those properties.
I am telling you that the rules changed dramatically two years ago. Look it up, dumbass.Quote:

Any pullout on the Idaho side of the pass. And pullout heading to alpine. The pullout out by the airport.
Anywhere really. But what do I know. I've only been doing it all over the united states' full time for the last three years.
Pretty sure Joe owns most of his places land and all.
Nope, he surely doesn’t. Maybe one or two.
It’s in the public records, though.
Everyone heading to Jackson to live that #vanlife, just call up Joe Rice when you get there.
Tell him byates1 sent ya!
It's prob the parent company he and his army buddies own.
Lets move on to hearing about how neck deep looks up all the rules and how excited he is for his big Colorado ski vacation next year..
No, it’s a variety of different owners who rent to him.
You need to stop, you really don’t know what you are talking about.
At least two are my wife’s clients.
