Your Essentials

[matt123]

Just wondering what people's 'Essentials' are for this year? Any lessons learnt from previous festivals for things you really should have taken?

More Crack less Ketamine.

Baby wipes

Weed

Water

Condoms

[Tom1889]

Dynamo torch, a variety of lager ( as opposed to just sticking with one brand), pro plus or them energy shots, all essentials kept at a bare minumum just so it's easier to cope with.

Also, go to Boots and get a pack of paracetamol with codeine and caffiene. No matter how bad a hangover you have, two of these will have it gone in an hour.

A hat.

Went yesterday to get all the campsite supplies such as bbq's, gazeebo, plastic cups, lighters, batteries.

Didn't manage to get any beer or cider though cos asdas offers were non existant!

-take more money, running out midday saturday in 08 wasn't good.

-take a tent and put tent up before drinking.

-more alcohol, you will not have enough, ever.

-blow up doll, so that you can make sexy noises and look like you pulled.

-don't take clothes they are a waste of space, replace with sex doll and drugs.

Shorts. Ignore the weather report, if its a hot day and you only have jeans you shall melt, 1 pair of shorts minimum (more if this heat keeps up).

Not just beer, but some spirits will be a nice change, vodka + energy drink.

LOTS of lighters + Rizla, they will always get wet. Even if it doesnt rain.

Megaphone.

Twister.

Music of some sort - cheap cd player/acoustic guitar

Pheromones to attract the pretty ladies to your camp without having to move.

1 zebra, 3 monkeys and a inflatable pirate ship. Use your imagination.

Hedgehog hunting kit.

More ket, less crack

Gaffer tape. Thats all you need - think of all the possibilities.

ASDA Petrov Vodka pouches, £5 each for 350ml, ideal for sneaking in and refillable

a DECENT trolley made up of the following as a minimum, steel frame, pneumatic tyres and wheels with bearings. if your planning on taking a little pissy aluminium/plastic framed effort with pissy little plastic wheels save yourself the hassle and just snap a wheel off and bin it now cos it wil only last 2 mins loaded up with drink

plenty of rolls of tape, and a roll of clingfilm (for the trolley)

berocca, nutrigrains, hairibo and plenty of water (to cure a hangover)

emergency disposable ponchos (50p from ebay now, or £5 at the festival and they are small and conveinient)

1/4 oz of cocaine (means you can survive on only 2 hours sleep per night which = more fun times)

some Diazepam (if you have gone a bit mental on the drugs and cannot sleep and are staring at the tent roof sweating when you really need a kip)

Biodegradable shampoo and a self inflating mattress are recent additions to mine.

The shampoo's there cause I've recently discovered just washing my hair under a tap makes me feel a whole lot clear.
