The expression was introduced to English by U.S. military personnel serving in the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century.[3][4] It derives from the Tagalog word "bundok", which means "mountain". In the Philippines, the word bundok is also a colloquialism referring to rural inland areas, which are usually mountainous and difficult to access

Silly me, it always thought it was that song "Down in the boondocks."

Urban boondocking... The only mountains in sight are the football & baseball stadiums!!!

Yeah we were roughing it... My oilfield buddies brought a 30kW generator that we all plugged into and an industrial field heater, It was cold staying up all night tending the smoker pits.
