Essential things to take to Glasto

[James Bolivar]

Spork

Head torch

Foldable liquid containers - big one for water at camp and a small one for carrying booze around.

Wet toilet wipes - much less bulky than normal loo roll.

Firstly - why?!

Secondly - Did it not ruin your festival? Going sans plopsies for 6 days is really bad for you.

Some lovely poo talk in here.

I always bring bin bags, duct tape and string. You never know when you'll have to macgyver your tent back together. Plus binbags are useful for sitting on, putting things in and taking your muddy wellies off with.

I forgot to mention the old Lenor bottle is good for the lads to bring. Means you can piss into it at night in your tent and empty it in the toilets the next day. This saves you from having to put all your kit on in the night to go to the toilets.

Nice to see the thread getting back on topic. Anyway, here's my tuppence worth.

Resealable food bags, especially if it rains. I take them to every festival, to store wallet/ticket, phone, wet wipes when walking around. Stops things you need to keep dry getting wet, and prevents wet wipes drying out in your pocket/bag.

How to ruin a pretty picture

[The Nal]

Its all about a state of mind mate. I rarely eat much at festivals, coupled with excessive alcohol means no movements were needed. Was in no pain at all throughout the festival - until the crucial moment came of course. That was a pain I have never experienced before. Wow.

Just the smell of the loo's sends me sick, so try to avoid as much as possible. If I go early on, it usually opens the flood gates - so to speak.

Obviously its probably not the best for me, but usually try and detox and some healthy living when I get home sorts me out.

Andrex (I think) do a travel toilet roll - no cardboad tube, tightly wrapped and the size of the inner tube of a normal roll; easily fits in a pocket. I use that and the wet wipes.

They used to but I've not seen it for a couple of years. Shame, genius idea!

Pooing at Glastonbury is actually one of the things I look forward too. It's the only time of year when I get to feel a nice breeze around my legs as I go about getting rid of yesterday's waste. It's also a nice opportunity to catch your breath and have five minutes peace. I also find it a convenient time to read the q daily (or whatever it is now) and the program.

really??? I tend to spend most of my time in the longdrops holding it!

[eoinca]

Noting wakes you up in the morning better then the fresh smell of the day before.!

[Leggins]

This thread is welcome relief to all the lineup talk to be honest. It has made me smile today. Yes, I'd rather hear about other peoples toilet habits than hear one more reason why a band should/n't play.

Talk more shit please.

I always end up with some form of glastoenteritis at festivals (damn IBS) so not going for days on end is not an option. I just get on with it though, nothing else you can do. And yes I second the immodium, although cheap own-brand ones do the job just the same.

I've read The Guardian in the long drops before after they've just been cleaned. The day after that relentless kiddie fiddler Michael Jackson died.

There is a certain longdrop technique that needs to be adhered to however.

For blokes, its very important to keep one hand on old captain winky at all times. You don't want him flapping forward like a speared haddock and tapping off the front wall of the longdrops. An unimaginable amount of no. You're dicing with death there. The odds of survival would be better going in commando on Ulrika Jonssen.

Panicking is the worst thing you can do. Take your time, accept your surroundings and work within their confines.

[eoinca]

Yes, very important advice there alright. You really, really, really don't want him touching anywhere near there.

[justperfect]

Off topic a bit but can we please have a full on blanket ban on the wearing of onesies at any time day or night during the festival.

Yes, this is the only thing that worries me.! Cant have him chilling lose fancy free and touching the sides.!
