Dry ice

[Woffy]

This thread has to be a wind up, surely?

[waynewdk]

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

Heres one story

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.

[waynewdk]

Good post Keithy, I had a read of them. I do try best while there though.

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.

Spend that £50 on buying bags of ice on site. My mates refuse to touch a warm beer and they do that.

A couple of years ago it was £7 a bag, last year they found a place doing it for £2.50.

There's also mental health advice available at the Healing Fields and environmental guidance courtesy of Greenpeace.

[Brave Sir Robin]

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

FFS do people not have jobs to do other than bitch on here about something that clearly isnt going to happen.

And let that be a lesson to you !! ( waggles finger) lol.

Could the OP give us his real name? He's a cert for a future Darwin Awards entry so would be good to keep an eye out for.

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.

[stardustjunkie]

Really really want to know how you're planning on removing your beer from the dry ice..
