There are plenty of youtube videos, and web pages on boondocking.
Do as much research as you can before you go and there won't be too many surprises.
Solar takes a bit of planning. How long will you be boondocking?
What do you intend to run with electricity?
What time of year is it?
etc...
If you just want to boondock for a long weekend, a small solar kit that sets up in a couple minutes and costs under $200 might keep your batteries up for an extra day or two.
But if you are going to be off grid for a month or more, you have to do some planning on how many panels, how big of a battery bank do you need, if you need an inverter and what size, etc...
I suggest going with a generator first, then look at solar.
There are times when you may have to fire up a generator even if you have solar due to extended cloud cover, or higher than expected electrical use.
The latter could happen even if you have to run your heater a lot due to an unexpected cold front, and even running a microwave off of an inverter will draw quite a bit of electricity.
