I thought id read somewhere that some things get collected up, like tents and they get sold on for charity and might have imagined it. I think someone would of snapped it up if they found it. Was pretty pissed that they didnt come back with it.

We try to be pretty clean where we can. We bin bag all our rubbish up before we go and take it to the bins

The problem is that in my experience after spending 4 weeks or more on a festival site you have no room with all your other belongings to take other people's junk home with you however much you want it so unless it is gold plated or snortable it goes in the skip.

Why is people getting on at me saying take your stuff, When I do take my stuff home with me. The lads who was with me took the cooler further and never returned with it. Trust me I would have taken it home with me if I could. It was expensive.

Has anyone used dry ice before. Thinking of getting 10kg of it on the Tuesday evening. This will sublime( disappear) in about 48 hours. Im hiping it should delay the start of my iceblocks melting in my cooler by 48 hours as it will keep the normal ice temp down to -70 or sumet. Well below its melting point anyway. We had a good cooler and about 5 washing up bowl blocks of ice ans about 6 ice cube bags before. It all lasted till last day. But im hoping if i use dry ice i can take less normal ice. Itl set me back about £50, but worth it for crisp cold beers and a full english every morning. Anyone used it? Any tips? Any problems with security getting it in? Thanks

As you wont be able to leave it in your tent due to you getting Carbon Dioxide Poising if you leave it out side whats the chances that some one will walk past go oooo cold beer and take it? Spend the money on cold pints in side the festival! No hassle just cold beer

Has anyone used Nuclear Waste before. Thinking of getting 10kg of it on the Tuesday evening. This will sublime( disappear) in about 48 hours. Im hiping it should delay the start of my spent core rods melting in my cooler by 48 hours as it will keep the normal radiation temp down to -70 or sumet. Well below its melting point anyway. We had a good Core Reactor and about 5 washing up bowl blocks of TNT and about 6 ice cube bags of spent Warheads. It all lasted till last day. But im hoping if i use spent Uranuim and take less TNT, Itl set me back about £50, but worth it for crisp cold xray and a full english every morning. Anyone used it? Any tips? Any problems with security getting it in? Thanks

Serious answer: It sounds like you'd be better off investing in a mobile home and a campervan ticket. Camping at festivals is all about slumming it for a few days. So what if the beer's warm? I've got news for you: the bedding and the toilets ain't great either.

Thread summary:

- Man asks advice on taking expensive and dangerous substance to packed camping site filled with drunk people.

- Says that he previously abandoned expensive and heavy item for other people to deal with because he was drunk (and presumably couldn't be bothered to go and get it the following day).

- Is surprised when advice is not to do the former and people criticise him for the latter.

Okay. So quoting from that BOC website that was previously linked by someone.. I'm interested to know how you're going to be removing your beers from the dry ice for starters? Unless I'm missing something obvious. And also I'm confused over why you seem to think that risk of asphyxiation is worth it for cold beers, because that's basically what's happening here. If you can't handle having a warm beer, enough to put yourselves and others at risk, perhaps stay at home and grab one from the fridge while you watch it on TV? Dry ice is dangerous, you're not the only person going to the festival so actually think before you start taking dangerous chemicals/substances in to a field filled with hundreds of people. You're going to feel like a complete knob if children get near it, a drunk person, or it starts becoming dangerous because I'm guessing you wont bother with CO2 monitors either?

Hazards
  • asphyxiation. In high concentrations sublimed vapour may cause asphyxiation. 10kg of dry ice sublimes into about 5.4 m3 of carbon dioxide gas
  • extreme cold. Contact with dry ice can cause cold burns and frostbite

we drink about 30 beers a day. everyday lol. Then we have a full english every morning then burgers for tea. So need that chilled. I read up on the carbon dioxide allready. And COSSH gets drummed into us every at work. Good advice, but will take the risk as it the amount will be small and it will be out side tent while we are there. Plus it will be getting open and shut alot so will spread the amount of exposure.And its a massive tent. But get where your coming from. If only helium was the by product now that would be a laugh in a morning.

I'm sorry I don't like making snap judgement's on people but you sound like a fucking idiot. You're either going to hurt yourself, kill yourself, hurt others, kill others and are more than happy to leave junk laying about the place all because you and your friends are too precious to drink a warm beer, go to the bar or drink wine/ale/cider/spirits instead.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
