frostypaw Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I trust the opinion of the good people of efestivals over some Amazon review any dayyeah but srsly there's a thread on it in Questions right now and probably 2/3 more airbed/campbed/self inflator threads further down.amazon reviews really are a pile of junk. the number of 1*s a thing can get over silly issues...... you're doing the right thing the wrong way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fur_q Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Not that much, is the honest answer. When they cost about £8.99 in halfords (single) I bought one inflated onsite from the millets stall for £15. This was 2010, so adjust for inflation. I thought you said the price included inflation? ..it's the leather jacket on the left. Edited June 10, 2015 by fur_q 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Will be interested to hea some feedback on the self inflated mattresses, do they take up considerably less space/weight than the airbed i bought a single one for the first time about a month ago, and took it to a festival 2 weeks ago. it took up much more room than a double airbed, but at least it was cylindrical, and i could put straps around it on my rucksack. didn't find it particularly comfortable, and seemed a bit weird being back on the ground after being raised up off it with an airbed for the last few years of festivals. have gone and re-bought an airbed for Glastonbury now.

timmyno7 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 looking at buying some electrolyte/rehydration salts (like diaorolyte but cheaper?) - does anyone have a clue on where to get these either in powder form to dissolve in some water or tab form to take in the event of / prevent dehydration? sort of camping essential I guess if you're in a hot tent!!!

fifilamore Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 One of us will have a pump. I'm sure I can get a flat one there? I don't think Millets has been there again since 2010 but there should be other camping shops there - although it is a risk that they may not have airbeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifilamore Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just got this Rucksack for the other half http://www.sportsdirect.com/karrimor-bobcat-65-rucksack-793000?colcode=79300016 Fairly decent brand so have more trust than some of the super cheap ones on Ebay and seems to have decent reviews - just need something that will last the trek to wherever we may be camping with Zips/ stitching etc. still intact!

The_Amazing_Oblong Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 This has probably been asked and answered a dozen times already but I don't want to trawl through 78 pages. I have a MotoG with micro usb to usb cable for recharging. I am on 02. I have a usb charger for my vaporizer. 1 - Could someone recommend a portable charger with usb and decent power (more than one charge) 2 - What is the signal like for O2 on site (always been on Orange/EE previously). Thanking you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these any better than Berocca? Once you've had a pint of Berocca you're pretty dehydrated aren't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanking you. A mate of mine swears by the Anker brand, they're supposed to be good. I got this Breett one myself, have been using it for the last year or so and it's pretty decent, holds a good charge (more than enough to charge two phones) and you can always drop them off at a property lockup tent to get them recharged during the day when people aren't charging their phones too. Can't give a practical review of it though, I bought it for last year's Glasto, charged it up the night before and forgot to put it in my backpack to bring it with me. Typical. Still, in use since then it's been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onionterror Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Can recommend this one - think it's the best value for your money at 25600mAh for under £20 (you'll need to buy something small to take it over £20 for free delivery though) http://www.amazon.co.uk/25600mAh-3-Smart-USB-Smartport-PowerBank-Smartphones/dp/B00TDGC9WY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1434027345&sr=1-1&keywords=swees+power+bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
