depending on where the fest is, sunscreen and bug spray come in handy. also a pair of shoes that you don't care if you loose or get muddy.

 

The less you bring the less you have to keep up with..think basic need.

Bring foods that are non parishable, like potoes, carrots, onions, dried beans and peas. Fruits like apples, pears, oranges and bananas. hard crust breads, crackers, trail mix, jerky, dried furit and nuts. Hard Salami/sauage

Try to save your cooler space for meats/dairy and beer or have two coolers one for beer/drinks and one for food.

join a community kitchen and throw in your part of the food and work.

I removed the food since we have a full kitchen...those suggestions wouldn't help you. Also, some of my stuff is already packed, & has been 'crossed off' (erased). If you were anything like Wonka & I you might cut and paste everbody's suggestions into 1 doc, remove duplicate suggestions, and then narrow it down from there.

You could show up with a ticket, $20, a ride home, a tent, a sleeping bag, and the clothes on your back. Or, you can do it in style. Depends on your priorities, I am old and prefer my amenities.

 

I can't go without my cap. Apart from acting as a sun shield, I also get to enjoy my anonymity in the faceless crowd.

 

Helps in the rain too, for those with glasses.

 

or u could just rough it and not bring shit.

 

something to shit in..................trust me.

 

for that i like to bring a bucket, and a bunch of those plastic bags you get at the grocery store.

just make sure you throw the bags away somewhere away from the campsites.

 

^^ lol, I do the same thing

 

Toothbrush
HairBrush
Hat

Instant Coffee/Cigarettes (my comfort drugs)
Cup
Extra lighters
$20/day for food from vendors (you don't have to spend it)
$20 in the glove compartment for the road home; along with a pack of smokes and a lighter.
extra socks

and don't forget:
TICKET

 

i always bring glitter and fun clothes to wear or costumes, its so much fun dressing up.

 

umm beer money and a chair...

 

Beer, weed, clothes and a tent.

More does a man not need.
