You may, of course, simply find they are not in town. This well-organised and motivated group opted for trailers in the first place because they are so well suited to the group’s habit of meeting 3 or 4 times a year in locations around the world.

Apparently surveys suggest that habitués of the various other lodging options find the Liberty travellers annoying because they often claim to have some kind of ‘right of prior occupation’, having frequently visited any given location 5 or more years ago, mapped it out and decided on the best pitches and infrastructure (plumbing, communication, by-laws and so on), before moving on to new pastures.

Increasingly, it seems, the Libertines spend less time polishing and honing the mechanics of their finely-crafted trailers, and more of it debating the best governance framework for a trailer park, or how to design smaller, more robust trailers for transporting belongings, rather than people.

They are also apparently working on plans for a less migratory existence, with trailers, tents and condos to be sited in a single harmonious area, most likely in or near the settlement of Concordia.

You may pitch your tent for a night or two in the countryside as long as you don’t disturb any IPR or cause damage to the market.

It is important that you find a site that is well away from any of the accommodations listed by your GPS and not on land already developed. Choose hardy ground to pitch your tent, and avoid land used for grazing or for growing.

Great post!
