Off the pathway towards the Riverwood entrance is a campsite which is home to seven followers who have sworn to keep the Dragonborn protected.
The followers are : -Uleric -Akar -Eldrid -Kjoric -Alric -Torbis -Jykik
They all are leveled followers and can take down a giant in seconds as a team with their dual wielding skills. The campsite can be used as a player home but it does have limited storage, if you want more just take over the mine right behind the tent and use that as a place for storage.
