ska_4_life Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 If you have any, or willing to invest, i strongly reconmend a nice pair of steeltoe capped boots. suggest buying them soonish so you can wear them in so they are comfortable. These shall replace wellys, and are usefull on the hot days when in crowds or pits meaning your toes dont get stood on. Anouther item(s) i tend to take which i find usefull is clothing with a zip pocket, then you dont have to worry about losing things out your pocket in crowds.

ar1 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Has anyone said torch yet, Tesco are doing little dynamo ones at the moment for £4 that don't need a battery (ever!) great for finding stuff when it's gone dark. I don't tend to bother with a water carrier, just buy a few bottles of smart price "spring" water and refil the bottles when more's required.

JC-Mo'Fucka Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Why two extra pairs? Do you get a wee bit over excited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megahurtz400 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 You can get multiple uses out of the pants as well, with the inside out and back to front methods. People forget these things too easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XrtVra Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Im just thinking take 2 extra pairs, because my tighty white-ies take up so little space and just incase i do get too into all the big kids burning things and sneak out a little brown nugget of joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
