boondockers

Rugged field boots

Boondockers are sturdy, rough-use boots, originally military footwear designed for rugged terrain.

The term comes from boondocks, meaning remote wilderness areas where such boots prove useful.

Boondockers also refers to people who practice boondocking—camping in isolated areas without hookups or amenities: The boondockers parked their RV on public land for free.
