About Bigfoot Trails Basecamp
Operate. Survive. Thrive.
Opening Statement
Bigfoot Trails Basecamp isn’t a lifestyle blog. It’s a field manual for people who want systems that work, brains that stay sharp, and the freedom to operate independently.
We’re not here for glamor shots, viral tricks, or sugar-coated advice. This is practical, tested, real-world stuff — mobile living, off-grid systems, and the mindset to keep your head screwed on.
Our Mission
Build and share mobile operations systems that actually function in the field.
Design and maintain off-grid setups that give you independence from the grid.
Develop and document an operational mindset — decision-making, problem-solving, and resilience under stress.
Bottom line: Empower people to live confidently, freely, and self-sufficiently, with a touch of dark humor to remind you that life will kick you in the teeth if you’re not prepared.
Who We Are
Tom Neal — founder, systems designer, lifelong operator — tested hard, like everything here.
Jahanel Neal — spouse, race car driver, boss lady who keeps me on track, operational efficiency expert.
Ruby — rescue Rottweiler, morale booster, early-warning security system, tireless companion in the field.
The Setup
Property: 20-acre playground for testing and building real-world systems
Mobile Ops: Motorhome, trailer, race car in tow — everything field-tested
Off-Grid Systems: Power, water, and waste infrastructure in progress — designed for self-sufficiency
Operational Mindset: Daily practice and real-world lessons, applied and documented
Race Base:
The motorhome isn’t just home — it’s mission control for the track. Every system, tool, and workflow is designed to keep the race car moving, the team efficient, and lessons learned for off-grid and mobile operations.
Why We Do This
Because most “prepping” or “RV living” advice is half-glamour, half-theory. We’ve been there: starting from scratch, learning the hard way, documenting every failure and fix. Bigfoot Trails Basecamp exists to cut the bullshit and give you real solutions you can implement today.
How We Operate
Test everything. Document failures. Improve systems. Repeat.
Focus on practical resilience, not hype.
Share lessons openly — field manuals aren’t fun if you don’t pass the knowledge forward.
