[themuel]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a small backpack where the zip is on the inside when wearing it? So pressed against your back. 

[shoptildrop]

In my bag I have 

 

1. Cigerettes

2. Spare lighter

3. Waterproof coat 

4. Jumper

5. Sun cream 

[benc]

 - Waterproof  - only if there is a chance of rain

- Booze

- Sun Cream

- Water

-Haribo

-Toilet Roll

- Hand Sanitiser 

[Spindles]

A proper knife and fork, with proper spoon.  Always worth keeping in the bag rather than trying to faff around with some wooden spade device.

Giving serious consideration to going over to a belt based system this year. Drinking bottle, rum bottle and supplies pouch (bog roll, hand sanitizer, etc.) all attached to a utility belt around my waist. No bag.

I first read this as every day curry. Then saw balti had posted!

I keep reading that Bars thread as Bras, and glasto-worker keeps posting in that.

[mandana]

thanks all for your replies! good to know i am on the right track, i havent really used the lock ups before but will organise it this year, leaving some of the heavier/less frequently used items in there. i am guessing it doesnt take too long to queue for the lock ups?

this is a new plan for me this year after reading people's suggestions

[Scott129]

Last year i camped quite far away from the action, so i just put all the stuff i'd need that day in a rucksack and put it in a lockup close to the stages. Saved me walking all the way back to the tent to refuel

[tarw]

Zip lock bags to keep rizlas etc. dry. Won't need them this year but take them anyway to appease the rain gods 

[Penrhos]

Dump everything in lockups.

poncho

suncream

hat

water bottle

moneybelt

hand sanitizer

travel wet-wipes

Imodium (just in case)

Oxycodine (knackered back and too dangerous to leave in tent) - also means no alcohol to carry.

Clashfinder

phone (use "find my tent" app later).

Bumbag wearers, can anyone recommend a good one that's waterproof? I normally use a cross body bag but I have some shoulder issues this year. I've seen some bumbags that look good in most respects but they don't seem to be waterproof.

ziplock food bags are your friend if bag not fully waterproof

[joeshez89]

I use the free shoulder bag you get when you come into the festival, and in it lies:

 

Cans

waterproof/suncream (sometimes both)

plus stage times guide and tissues in my pockets

 

I really don't think you need to carry that much around

True, but I'd prefer to have a bag that is waterproof really.

Mrs BP has used this one for the past couple of years and its been fine.  Survived the Alabama Shakes/Mary J Blige downpour with no problems.

Phone and wallet in my pocket, then I fill a Guardian bag every morning with sun cream, water bottle, a jumper/waterproof for later and as many cans as I can fit in there.

[stuartbert two hats]

You're all soft with your jumpers. Don't you have a coat?

[Hugh Jass]

Forgot to mention I also take a thermal running top with me for when it gets chilly at night.

[stuartbert two hats]

Or are these jumpers in addition to your coats?
