taking a camera and mobile.

[whateverworksout]

i'm going to take a shitty phone with a shit pay as you go sim card, so i can find people if i get lost in the crowds/finding our camp, but it hasn't got a very good battery life, so i don't know what to do about that, and i'm worried about it falling out of my pockets in the crowds as i will most likely be wearing skinny jeans/loose shorts, any ideas on where i could keep it to stop this?

i'm also taking a compact camera, not for the bands but for the camp at night as i'd like to remember it, but i'm worried about that getting stolen if i leave it in my tent somewhere in the day and only use it at night.

any suggestions at all?

I usually take a Backpack into the arena nowadays so I don't end up with pockets full of stuff and be worrying about them all the time. You can pick up phones really cheaply at the moment so you could just get a £10 one and then not have to worry if you lose it.

a shitty phone should really last the weekend, maybe get an emergency charger/second battery thing if you are really worried.

I'm taking my good phone with a second battery so it will double up as a camera, i've got insurance so not that bothered about it

I've been to gigs and festivals and have never had my wallet or phone fall out my pocket. Again if you are really worried put sticky velcro inside your pocket.

Also going to be taking a small rucksack in to the arena. Absolutely HATE anything at all in my pockets lol.

Older phones seem to have better battery life anyway. Only switch it on when needed. Im quite lucky with mine. Lasts around 7 days with heavy use.

Take a disposable camera. N as for ur phone turn it off when u are with ur friends and through the night. That's what I normally do.

Spare batteries for phones are on eBay for around £3-5 with delivery, can't fall off.

Just keep it on you and take care of it I say, never ever ever leave anything valuable in your tent. If in doubt though, leave it at home. Only thing I ever lost from a festival from my tent was a few beers thanks to some pykies
