A basecamp package whose gear survives the cash choice
A lifted 4x4 camper and a garageful of outdoor gear make Montana Knife Company’s Ultimate Basecamp a complete trip-planning proposition. The campaign describes the Ridge XT Overlander as a 20-foot RV with a four-inch lift and solid front axle. Its accompanying equipment reaches from campsite cooking to optics and an eBike.
Montana Knife Company describes the Ridge XT as a twenty-foot camper on a 4×4 chassis, with a four-inch lift and solid front axle. That gives the base vehicle a specific configuration around which to imagine the trip. The compact camper is only one part of the package, but it provides the place to organize the rest of the advertised equipment.
The rules name a Traeger Ironwood 885, MKC culinary set, Boot Barn gift card and BAKCOU Scout eBike alongside Vortex optics, YETI items, Vyper equipment, SITKA apparel and Rumpl camping pieces. The campaign specifies a Dark Energy Recon 2000 generator with two 200-watt Spectre panels and a Viper HD angled spotting scope with High Country II tripod. Those named pieces give the supporting kit an identity of its own.
If you win: the $100,000 vehicle substitute leaves the specified gear award intact. Taking the RV requires personal pickup within thirty days of availability, a licence and insurance, with travel and other acceptance costs yours. Obtain the final floor plan, build sheet and pickup inventory, since colors, layout and upgrades remain subject to the award terms.
Prize details are as described by the sponsor and its official rules. WTW has not inspected or driven the vehicle.
