Hey guys, I’ve done about a dozen trips with my land cruiser over the past 15 months, and I love it, but my biggest headache is breaking down camp. If I have everything set up and I’m in a spot for 2+ days, my break down takes 2+ hours. (I’m usually camping with my 5-year-old and a couple of friends/family who have their own vehicle/tent, but I tend to provide most of the core shared commodities-- cooking gear, toilets, etc)
My core setup:
It feels like most of the time to pack up is spent around re-organizing the kitchen gear and getting it packed back in. I’m thinking about upgrading my drawer to something like the TrekboxX System Alpha so I can try to keep things in a more permanent packed position rather than having these boxes that get unpacked. Also thinking about swapping the 2-burner stove and the skottle for a Camp Chef expedition 16, so it’s one unit that’s freestanding (not eating up space on my prep table which makes it harder to keep things organized)
What tricks have you learned that have helped streamline set up and break down?
My core setup:
- iKamper 2.0 RTT (this is pretty quick to break down)
- roll up large table, used as the primary kitchen table
- Tembo Tusk Skottle
- Camp Chef 2-burner stove
- Camp chairs
- I have two plastic bins— one of which contains a camp toilet and accessories, the other contains all my misc cooking supplies— pans, plates, bowls, etc
- Dobinsons drawers
- Dometic CFX fridge/freezer
