Everyone’s got that one mate who’s still there at 9pm hammering pegs in trying to setup their camp. Avoid being that guy with our expert tips with years on the tracks!

FAST FOOD

Cooking food on the tracks is something that can be a bit time consuming – one of our favorite ways to guaranteed saving time on the tracks is to precook your meals well before hitting the tracks, and then use your Adventure Kings Vacuum Sealer to seal the meals up allowing you to pre-freeze them.

When you are on the track, it’s as simple as popping the vacuum sealed bags in some boiling hot water for a couple of minutes and then you’re ready to eat – how’s that for a quick campsite dinner!

PEGS AND ROPES

Keep three or four extra guy ropes and a bag of pegs somewhere easily accessible for your Adventure Kings Awning, for example, stashed under the driver’s seat. When the weather turns bad, you don’t want to be pulling your vehicle apart searching for extra ropes or pegs to secure your shelter.

REFINING EVERYTHING TO A FINE ART!

If you’ve been driving all day and hanging out for a coldie, you’ll want to get your camping set up sorted in no time. You can easily speed up the process by taking a planned approach and before you know it, your campsite will become an easy routine.

By setting your awnings horizontal poles to length before time – you can easily stash them away in their double channeled aluminium extrusion, ready to go for next time!

If you use a permanent pen to mark poles so you know exactly what the ideal height is the next time you set up also allowing you to  leave your guy ropes at approximately the correct length when packing away.

You’ll be amazed how much time you save when the whole setup is half assembled when you get to camp!

QUALITY LIGHTING

Now this one might seem obvious, but the amount of campers out there trying to set up camp at night time with little more than an LED head torch in the dark is astounding. Get yourself at least an Illuminator LED MAX Strip Light it plugs straight into your cig socket and it’ll make setting up at night an absolute breeze and save you a stack of time at camp!

FRESHWATER SHOWER

If ‘five-days-in-the-bush cologne’ is not your preferred odour, you can easily add an Adventure Kings Portable Shower Kit to your setup, running off your vehicle’s battery, it has a fully adjustable water flow, and when coupled with a billycan full of warm water, will give you a toasty shower wherever you are!

KEEP ESSENTIAL GEAR HANDY

Make sure your insect repellent, sunscreen & wet weather gear is within easy reach so that when you need it, it’ll be on hand!
By making sure you have this things handy you can get on with the setup if you are getting eaten alive or a massive rain downpour is in progress. There’s nothing worse than pulling up at camp in the rain and having to pull half the 4WD apart to get to your wet weather clothing – keep the essentials accessible.

BE FLEXIBLE

Sometimes having a little extra gear at home is what you need to be able to adapt to different camping situations. If you’re heading off with a mate for a really quick overnighter, then ditch the rooftop tent in favour of a Big Daddy Deluxe Swag.

Likewise if you’re off for a long weekend with the better half, then the Adventure Kings Roof Top Tent is the way to go. Having just the right gear for the job inevitably makes setting up much quicker.

Don’t pack a tent that requires an engineering degree to assemble if you’re heading out on your own.

With these quick handy tips for setting up your campsite you should be well on the way to saving precious minutes when you hit camp, and are able to kick back and relax with a well earned coldie from your fridge!
