Practical Smarts: Power, Privacy, and Backups

Save Battery and Data on the Road

Pre-download regions, limit background refresh, and reduce screen brightness on navigation stretches. Carry a compact power bank and enable low-power modes. What tricks keep your devices alive through long boondocking days and chilly, power-hungry nights?

Control Location and Personal Data

Always Have a Plan B

Save a printed shortlist and ranger station numbers. Mark dispersed areas and truck-friendly stopovers in case reservations fall through. Share your favorite backup strategies in the comments, and subscribe for monthly checklists you can print before departure.
