Top Ten Festie essentials

Treebeak said:
All these essentials would also make excellent products for placing on inhebriated friends bodies in a human buckaroo type game. Also no one has added twister to the essentials. Ket twister 4tw!

how YOU doin'?

:D

A rubber mallet makes hammering in tent pegs *much* easier, and then you can make friends with all your neighbours when they inevitably ask to borrow it.

Waterproof trousers, so if it rains, you can still sit down.

Chewing gum, so you don't end up walking for 8 miles to try and find some at 4am to stop you chewing your own face off. So I'm told.
 
Chewing gum! Yes!

Rubber mallet? pffft... tent that pops open in 2 seconds for me. And then standing round laughing as everyone puts theres up
 
pair of sandals or shoes to pull on for middle of the night out of bed wees
toilet roll
sun block
hat
money

edit add: ... and good vibes, man...

Hairdryer.
Laptop.
Comedy Hat.
Bible.


Oh, the foil wine bags make excellent pillows when empty: just blow them up like a balloon :)
Portable water carrier: saves you waking up with the driest mouth in the world & facing a long trek to a tap/stall that sells drinks.
Money: nobody takes enough cash & the queue for the cashpoints is often several hours long on sunday morning.
Fancy dress.
See you there :D
 
you lot take way too much,

after years of losing everything i own at festivals I've now got my packing down to...

mdma,
pills,
cash,
toothbrush
toothpaste
bog roll
possibly a spare t-shirt

all of which can fit into the pockets of a pair of combats

cash and drugs can then be exchanged for anything else I need, and the drugs used to ward off sleep until the sun comes out / the festival finishes / I find a nice girl wanting to share her tent (i live in hope)

eta - clean socks
 
I am actually thinking about risking buying a tent again this year as I'm going to be spending nearly 3 weeks at the antiworld site, and apparently this being in charge malarky means I can't rely on my mdma blanket this year.

I've tried taking tents to festivals before, but it always seems to fuck up - woke up looking at the stars through my tent one year at glasto, another year my tent developed a lake inside it, had my tent nicked at glade first year before i even got it set up, last year at glade my tent had magically developed 2 outer sheets and no inner tent when i went to put it up etc etc
 
Essentials are ticket, money, tent, mattress (when you're over 30), waterproofs, good boots, some spare dry/warm clothes, sunbloc/shorts if your fest happens after July 1 :mad: ;) some drugs, wetwipes, toothbrush/paste, earplugs, paracetamol, torch and conversation!

Plus a shed load of other stuff that I don't need at all to take at all but will end up bringing anyway :o
 
Pirate or che flag
Pixie/fairy/aligator costume
assorted wings/feather boas
wedding outfit for the inflatable church
stilts
generator
decking or fencing for communal area
selection of comedy hats
day glo paint

You know they will be there...................
 
Fancy dress! Of course! That is, of course, if I dont manage to sneak my way into the Lost Vagueness tent. Or I could just take the stuff I knicked from their Valentines Day Massacre :D
 
I brought a medical thermometer to a festival once, just in case like.

SZC iz teh sad :o

(yes, I'm the one with first aid kit who insists on disinfecting the big gash you made on your hand climbing over the fence and patching it up with plaster and checking on it the next day because I think I'm your mother)
 
trips
mdma
strong lager
coffee
coffee pot
ceremonial salvia pipe
