Day bag

[The Placid Casual]

I take this out and get right down the front..

plenty of room to hold my camp chair, flag and ipad for taking photos.

Don't forget your laughing gas!

And since it'll take a full 20lb NOS cylinder, there's none of that annoying small-fry litter to be left behind

[verrymerry]

I put my rucksack on my front in crowds partly to avoid pissing people off but also because it's easier to get stuff out. I'm little so it's only like having a beer belly

Do you have an extra large selfie stick for the ipad?

[StormCrow]

I have one of these. Good size and good for your back.

[Foxy1984]

I have a small. I usually have a bottle of water, suncream, tissues, phone, wallet, sunnies with me

Yeah, it's 8ft.

http://www.decathlon.co.uk/500-hydration-pack-blue-id_8300159.htmlI have something similar to this. It's OK, not brilliant. The shoulder bags look OK that's been posted in here. I've never hit anyone with the bag because it's quite small and when I go into crowed places it goes on my front. I am looking for another solution this year however!

So did people come to a conclusion as to the best bag for say 6 500ml cans, stuff, sunglasses, waterproof?

And not too expensive?

I'm gonna get one of these for my waterproof (which I still need to buy ) and a few cans.

Can't complain for £2.50. Might not fit six though

I had a look at these when I was in Decathlon the other day - looked decent for the price.

I ended up picking up the bigger version tho - Bargain at £7.99

I have a very useful thing to carry all my stuff around for me. Only bad thing about it is it sometimes talks back at you and moans when you to try cram in too many cans (in the bag).

She has a bum bag which unfolds into a back pack - best of both worlds

You would be surprised what you manage to cram in at the start of the day into those little bags! I often wish I could stomach cheap bags of wine, they look so handy to carry around!

You don't have to go *very* upmarket to find acceptable wine bags/boxes - Morrison's house Shiraz is very well regarded and only £11.99 for 3 bottles' worth (Sainsbury's do a Shiraz too that I suspect is exactly the same stuff, all 5 star ratings, £12.50).

My kind of day-bag!

Agree, Asda do loads for about that price too

Far too much a personal taste issue to say for others. I'd totally go for a record bag type or moon-bag as your basic option though, £5 up.

I have often found that plastic carrier bags are quite useful. Can fit at least eight cans in, can sit on it if it's wet and it can be useful if the queue for the toilets are massive.

Winner all round.

[the wonderwhy]

can be useful if the queue for the toilets are massive.

Not if it has holes in

I usually go out of the tent in the morning and do not return until late at night, so I have to bring everything I need with me in a backpack. I hate having a bulky backpack, but in addition to the indispensable (toothbrush, a small k-way, some wipes, a long-sleeved shirt for the evening), I need to bring something warm for the night, because over the years I have often felt cold. I bought a nice warm jacket just in Glastonbury, but it is super bulky, occupying the entire backpack.

the question is: how do you solve the problem? are you ok with feeling a little cold at night or do you bring warm (but light) clothes? and in this case, which one?

I hate to have a big backpak during the day (at night it is empty...) and I'd like to know how you solve the problem

thanks

socks and hat make a big difference.

I've been doing the same thing for ten festivals. Just realised this week that I could just shove all the night clothes in a central lock-up and just go get them when I need them!

[Rumblestripe]

The best compromise between warm and bulk is the "microfleece" very lightweight (much lighter than a hoodie) will resist a light shower and if you do get it wet you can get it pretty dry by just wringing it out and then whirling it round your head! As a bonus, if you put your cold cans inside it, it will act as an insulation layer and keep them cool.

Why didn't I think of that?? Such a simple but brilliant idea.
