Essential Tips For Music Festival Camping
When you aregoing to a music festival there are a few essential tips that you need to know to ensure you have a great time.
First things first. There’s always the chance of some unpredictable weather so it’s best to bring enough supplies that can cope with either boiling heat or torrential rain.
1. Drink
You can never have enough water, the last thing you want is to end up missing the festival because you’ve not drunk enough of the right stuff and have ended up passing out and in the first aid tent. Water is what you want, not fizz, not alcohol. whatever you intend to drink, make sure that the container that it’s in is plastic or some material other than glass. the organisers will on no account allow you to bring in anything with glass for obvious reasons.
2. the Munchies
Don’t go bringing stuff that’s likely to go off quickly or you’ll end up – yup, you’ve guessed it – in the first aid tent again!
Anything that needs to be kept cool you should aim to have cooked by the end of the first day and eaten by the end of the 2nd or at the latest, 3rd day.
Keep everything perishable in the cooler. you can buy ice on site but be prepared to lug it a fair way back to your tent. make sure you have plenty of individually wrapped snacks to keep you on the go, fruit such as apples and bananas are good, salted nuts, pretzels, not so good owing to the high salt content, which if you don’t drink enough will make you end up – yup, right again, in that first aid tent!
You are allowed to bring unopened food and drink into the venue. Bring as much water as you can or you’ll end up – do I need to tell you again?
3. Sleeping Arrangements
Bring a proper tent if you can, an open sided canopy thing isn’t what you want coz if it tips down with rain and there’s any sort of wind you will get soaked along with all your stuff.
Obviously you’ll need something to sleep on & in along with the right tools to enable you to put your tent up.
Don’t forget a torch, there’s nothing worse than rummaging around in the pitch black trying to put a tent up by feel alone. A table and a couple of chairs is also a good idea, there’s nothing worse than sitting in the mud, it stinks and gets everywhere (trust me, I know!)
Bring a portable grill or bbq and something to record the event such as a camcorder or camera. Don’t forget to bring sun block and a waterproof such as a poncho, along with footwear such as crocs for rain or sun (you definitely don’t want sunburned feed) or wellies in case of rain and make sure whatever you bring is super comfortable.
4. Security
A money belt is a good idea, you can keep your valuables attached to you at all times. but please only bring the essentials. now you’re well equiped to enjoy yourself at the next Music Festival.
