Useful stuff you forget to take with you to festies

[electroplated]

wind up phone charger (and tell your mates to bring one too!)

laughing gas is always popular too

 

[SubZeroCat]

Lipbalm!!!

Gurning comes with lip licking which then leaves your lips all dry and icky.

 

[perplexis]

Pillow!
I always forget to bring one, it looks worth it!

Waterproof overclothes so you can look t3h in the rain

Essentials :
Tent
Ticket
Money
Sleeping bag
~and for me, airbed.

Dont' want to be without :
toothbrush
loo roll
wipes
change of clothes (including and especially) underwear
carrier bags (dead useful - rubbish bags, wet clothes holder, keeps the rest of the contents of your tent/bag dry)

That's it I think for me really. The rest is all good, but so long as I can be in there, warm dry and relatively clean I'll have a blast.

I've gone to glastonbury without a tent!!!

This time last year, I went to not just one but TWO Festivals (Shambala and Beauriful Days) without the tent .... only 'just realised' why I'd been travelling so light on arrival at Waterloo ...

Was helped out with a friend's spare tiny pod-tent in the end when I arrived, but in 22 years of festival going, forgetting the tent was the most embarassing omission ...

hammer to put tent pegs in and torch.

You just said the same thing twice.

I usually take a big fuck off jerrycan to fill up with water- once at reading i got so dehydrated i started seeing things. Get a plastic one, they're pretty bulky but they weigh fuck all when empty.

How could I forget these little beauties!

Manys the time i've wandered round in agony, trying to score some R.

Luckily those yellow shops at Glastonbury have them (£2 for the tiniest pack though!) or I would have ruined many a weekend.

actually glastonbury is probably the best place to go without a tent.

you can find ample warm sleeping areas at the christian tent by radio avalon they have loads of matresses just for people without tents.
