We are taught that black is hotter than white because white reflects the sun and black absorbs it..this is correct. BUT when the material is fabric the absorption is almost instant, and when the sun goes away the dissipation is just as fast, because fabrics don't retain heat the way metals and concretes do, so black and white fabrics will both reach the same final temperature the difference will be how much time it takes.

Now, using INSULATED fabric, means you have multiple layers for that heat to have to transfer through and the insulation helps to prevent that.

Pair this up with our insane amount of ventilation and you have the opnly shelter that has the ability to be cooler than outside without an AC unit.

The temperature difference between the three colors of INSULATED shelters is marginal at best. So choose your tent based on what color you like.

Upon receiving your Overland(ISH) Basecamp tent please start by removing everything from its packaging and taking note that you have all the items.

Now it's time to set up your tent for the first time.

It's best not to open your tent on cement or asphalt so go find a piece of grass or do it in your home on a slick surface or carpeting.

(Footprint is not necessary for first time setup for an at home inspection) - If you purchased the weather pack, remove your footprint and lay that out now. If you did not then find your ideal setup spot.  Next, grab your Basecamp and bring it to the center of your footprint with the hubs touching the centerpoint of the footprint.

Lay your tent on its side with the hub in the center of your footprint and remove the strap.  At this point open your tent up and make sure you take note of the inside vs the outside material. The poles go toward the inside of the shelter and all of the logos go to the outside of the shelter. 

 (((DO NOT OPEN THE TENT INSIDE OUT))). 

Your floor will be half zipped in but attatched. Next, open the Basecamp so the roof is horizontal to the ground - now walk around and grab the walls and pull out on each wall until they pop into place.  Walk around the tent popping out the walls and once they are all set up, step inside and push the roof up - and that's it! Now it's time to start making your shelter a home!  

Now since this is the first time you're opening your new Basecamp Shelter lets just make sure everything is A-OK. Inspect it all now before you take it out into the wild. Remember, when pulling your tent out of the box that the floor is half zipped so don't go tugging on some random piece of material - this could damage a zipper.  Next once your tent is deployed walk around the outside making sure that all the eyelets are nice and snug, if there are any loose eyelets now is a good time to tighten them up.

• Find your Weather Pack and remove your Rainfly.  Making sure your logos are facing the sky, throw it over the roof of your Basecamp Shelter. If you need to, you can always drop the roof from the inside of the shelter as it may make it easier for you.  (Note that under each wing of your rainfly there is a loop - this is for ease of setup for one person in weather conditions)  
• Once you have the fly lined up so the roof vents are in line with each other, walk around your shelter attaching the straps under the wings of the rainfly to each of the eyelets on the exterior walls. Once you have all sides connected, use your included screw stakes and guy lines to secure the fly to the ground.  Start by removing your first rainfly wing from the eyelet and with the stake/guyline set pull the wing of the tent as far from that tent as possible.  This is important as the farther you pull it out the more ventilation you get - it can be set up as close or far as you like there is no “correct” distance.  Finish by walking around your shelter securing each wing (try to keep the distances from the tent as uniform as possible - because we all like a good looking campsite of course!)

The Basecamp tent by itself weights 60 lbs. If you purchase the separate Weather Pack add 8lbs, and the Tough bag is another 7 lbs

The Basecamp SOLO has a 78" x 78" interior footprint so if you were to purchase a 78" cot that would fit fine, you would just need to pull it away from the wall on its long side about 8". To maximize space in your SOLO a 75" cot fits snug up against the wall, and for taller folks if you get the 82-84" cot you could set that up in the middle of the Basecamp SOLO where the walls are pushed farthest out.

The Basecamp SOLO by itself is 30 lbs, its weather pack is 5 lbs and The SOLO tough Bag is 8lbs.

YES! insulation works just as good in the heat as it does in the cold! keeps the warmth in when cold and the heat out when its hot...pair that up with the best and most amount of ventilation and you have yourself a perfect combo.

Your first time setting up it may take you about 90 seconds, once you get good and fast...up in 30 seconds and back in the bag in about a minute.
