going to a small festival, need tips

[Flufferus]

ive been to festivals a few times, and was always unprepared.

so far this time, i have a 6 sleeper tent, a medical bag, a sleeping bag, and a sleeping pad for under the bag. the tent has string lights.

bringing sum weed so far. and some mushies.

im thinking about bringing a 5 gallon water tower jug or two, to share with others. im sure ill be bringing lots of snacks also.

im thinking ill need a wagon for all of this also. what do you all think? other tips? sunscreen is a must... also a hat and hoodie...

See how twisted my mind has become I read that title as "going to a small festival, need TRIPS"

You'll be sorted with the Mushies!

Toilet Rolls! Wetwipes!

I'd bring hand sanitizer, at least two lighters, canned sardines/mackerel/octopus/tuna, an assortment of nuts and dried fruit, cookies, power bars, and at least two bottles of sports drink in case of dehydration.

...excellent beer and good rum...

If you plan to start a fire, some lighter fluid... though the pro's choice would be glycerine and potassium permanganate.

...marshmellows...!

If you're going to cook, a small grill, a cooler with freezer packs, burgers, fish, corn and tomatoes....

A portable speaker and your mp3 player or phone loaded with good tunes....

A change of clothes....

Condoms.... =D

If you have a hiking sack, you'll need that to put this all in....

Yeah man – have a great time! Enjoy the great outdoors!

I second the mini flashlight/headlamp. You don’t want to drop your phone in the port-a-pot trying to use the light.

I’ve been to hundreds of fests and the one thing I’d consider buying is a dry bag. Friend of mine left me with one years ago (we carried nitrous tanks in them). When bad weather hits you can throw all the essentials in the bag and at least have dry clothes/sleeping bag/substances.

I also wouldn’t take a bunch of food. Can’t tell you how much food I’ve wasted over the years. Usually it gets wet or smashed or you get too twisted to cook it.

We used to make a pre cut mix of chickpeas, cucumbers, peppers, a few other things and some spices in a tupperware. Then plop it onto a wrap with some added hummus, avocado, and tomatoes.

We would fill empty 2 liters with water and freeze them. Two of those at the bottom of a cooler kept it cold for 3 or 4 days without the mess of ice
