Last Minute Festival Survival Tips...

[slinkster]

I haven't been to a festival since I was about 17 and we're off to Download this weekend. Has anyone got any last minute tips? I still have time to get some essentials if I've missed anything vital.


I'm hoping toilet technology has changed since I last went to a festival but I think it's wishful thinking.

I have tent, beer, food, tickets, money and clothes... the usual stuff. Any last minute advice?

Suitable footwear for rain? Camping stove? Baby wipes? Tooth brush?


EDIT: Can I come?

Got got got annnd got!

And sure! The more the merrier! :)

If you're worried about the toilets then take a 'she-pee'! :p

More beer. Way more beer. If you have to save space skip the tent, with enough beer it doesn't matter. :)

Seriously though... liquid other than beer, and plenty of regular old water (on ice if possible). Sunscreen and/or lotion, I've been torched at a couple of long outdoor events.

Baby wipes! I wouldn't even think of being deployed without a ton of them in my rucksack.

Bug repellant is also a good idea. I hate waking up to the itch of mosquito bites.

Thank you on the bug repellant... have packed some since... I do tend to get bitten alot.

Not so sure on the she wee... :-P

Keep your money in a safe place and your clothes on.
