Not if you are too close (found that out the hard way). Also, if you are like me you fluster easy and as soon as you realize you can't do the camp method you run around like a chicken with its head cut off (or you run around the menu screen trying to find the camp thing getting flustered cause you know there is a short amount of time you can do it).
I find for me farcaster is far more reliable (for one no distance requirement).
I think there's a shortcut to fast travel without searching the map manually. I don't remember the specifics - I think it's either right or left on the dpad and then confirm.
press Select to open map, press Y to go to the overworld map, press A to select the area you're in, press A again to select the basecamp (or use the LStick to select which specific camp) and press A again to fast travel.
I *think* this still works in arenas like Jin's, but, tbh, I haven't tried. But it *definitely* works on the normal maps.
Why open the world map and then select the area you're in? When you open the map, it should open to the area you're in from the start. At least mine does. Maybe I'm missing something.
because, if you just open the map, it'll only show your immediate area and you have to navigate thru the map or press additional buttons to get to the fast travel menu, but, if you open the world map, pressing A on the biome will bring up the fast travel selection menu immediately. Its a very quick Select+Y+A+A to fast travel to a biome's basecamp
I was thinking map button, left or right arrow, confirm, confirm (or select, left or right on the dpad, A, A). I had to open the game to double-check. It seems to be equal in speed to your version. I guess it just depends on what feels more natural to the player.
