Time Lapse: Setting Up Basecamp Roaddude on a Windy Afternoon . If I’m camping anywhere near other folks, most stop by when they see my set-up, and most say “Wow, man, this must take a long time to set up!” . Well, it only takes 15 minutes to set up the primary elements of rooftop tent, raising the rack, and spreading the awning. Only another 15 mins, literally, to get a bunch of gear out and set up my outdoor kitchen and solar. . Then I have a cerveza. . It’s all about choosing the right great for your needs and your style of basecamping, and more importantly how you pack it for ease of unloading and setting up. . This was quite a breezy afternoon. If you watch closely, you can see the breeze move my Hornbeck canoe after I set it on the ground. . My style of basecamp and off-road rig is all made more possible by the awesome platform of the @xventurerocks #XV2 #severeduty trailer. @bundutecusa @rhinorackusa @roofnest @hornbeckboats @frontrunneroutfitters @hornbeckboats @zargesusa @overlandsolar @overlandbound @expeditionportal @americanadventurist . #overlandgear #rooftoptent #awning #efficiency #basecamp #expeditiongear #overlandbound #expeditionportal #americanadventurist #offroad #offgrid #campvibes #nomad #nomadlifestyle #myoutdoorlife #travelblog #outdoorworkshops #workshopleader #offgridliving #solarpower #createtoexplore #instagoodness #optoutside #getoutandexplore #outfitandexplore #outdoorgear #camplife #letsgetlost #vanlife #wanderlust
