What is the best way to get a barbarian bro?
Far as the wiki says, I have to either do barbarian camp clear contracts or just hope to run into one "in the northern part of the map", which I'm guessing means snow, though I have seen someone screenshot the event in tundra.

I have plenty of camps located but the contracts just don't appear, so should I just keep running from town to town in hopes of getting one or I can just camp out on a road and wait until I get one like with King's Guard?

many of the travel events can occur when camping. For example, to fish for a kings guard, all one has to do is travel to a road in the snow and camp. Eventually you will get an event, maybe the kings guard maybe not, but as long as you are on a road in the snow, you have met the qualifiers to get a chance at the event, even while camping.

For the barbarian warrior who didn't want to fight his brother event, you need to be on a road in the tundra or the snow to qualify. Camping on the road in the snow has is best since you can get the both the kings guard and the barbarian event..

AS for the event timing, there is a difference from loading from an active game and loading from the home screen. What I mean is that there is a time for events to occur that resets if going back to the home screen but not from the game during a game load. Say that you save prior to having an event occur in order to save scum the event. An event occurs but it is not the one that you want. If you reload back to the save from an active game, the clock does not reset proper and you will wait longer for an event to trigger. If you quit to the home screen and then load the game, the event time will also reset and occur sooner.

The chance of both events are rather unlikely, you just need to keep trying. Or do a northern raider start, they have higher chance of getting the random barbarian joining them on the road.

Maybe clear the camps and let them respawn and some mission with them or return later...? I just got one barbarian after clearing the camp. The contract due ambushed trade route status.

Actually it was my first barb camp in this run, just rng:p

You already know the best way. Scale up your timeframe for when you'll get one though. It's random, contracts rotate consistently but slowly; it'll take a minute. Playing in the North in general will eventually net you Brobarians.
