Low impact nature Tent setup
Quote from vhgstrhsfsf on February 9, 2026, 3:21 pmI’ve been doing more bird photography lately and found that the biggest hurdle is the setup time for my gear. Traditional pole-based shelters often require clearing a lot of space and take forever to pitch. I’ve switched to an inflatable camping tent because it minimizes my footprint and doesn't involve heavy metal frames that can be a hassle in dense brush. The Coody 10 model has about 108 square feet of space and stands up in roughly 6 minutes with a pump. It’s made of a poly-cotton canvas that breathes well and blends into the forest much better than bright synthetic fabrics. It’s a solid way to set up a basecamp without disturbing the site too much.
