A liability waiver is what I call a “feel good document.” Please be aware that in many states a liability waiver isn’t worth the paper it is written on. I would strongly urge you contact an attorney and get his/her input based on the laws in effect where you live. Years back, when I was involved in the Harley Owner’s Group (HOG), we had participants in any chapter sponsored event sign a liability waiver even though we knew it would not stand up in court given certain circumstances. And any attorney (I won’t use the term “good”) will try to prove you did not take the proper precautions to avoid a condition that contributed to an “injury.” An honest person will accept responsibility if they incur an injury on your property that is a result of their own stupidity, a sleazy person will run to the closest ambulance chasing lawyer. Two key words: litigious society!

Hi Folks, My 2 cents...
I have used "boondockers welcome" over the past few years including a recent trip south over Christmas and have had nothing but great experiences. We have met some interesting and lovely people that have become friends. We have never had a bad experience and I would recommend this to anyone.
Happy travels, Jorge.

I think using a persons property would be much safer than being the one offering the property. If you get someplace and don't like it you can leave. If you let someone come and stay and they cause a problem you aren't in a great position. Most likely 99% of the places to stay and people that come to stay are wonderful. It's always the 1% that messes things up for everyone. Sounds like a fun way to meet people and save money by staying at others places.
