slash's hat Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Always: sunglasses, poncho, fleece, tights/leggings(If wearing shorts in day), walking boots, sun cream, hand gel, tissues, toilet wipes, hat that doubles as sun and rain proof, pound shop ground sheet to sit/lie on, torch, water bottle - no wonder my shoulder kills! Wet; Wellies, proper rain coat, waterproof trousers (disposable clear ones off ebay). This year taking a chair as mobility not so good so expect less bimbling, stick in lock up if needs be. Hot: can't think of anything don't already take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay89 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 How muddy can it get in worst case scenario? Would waterproof mid walking boots do the job? I absolutely hate wellies, can’t stand them flapping around my legs and stay well away whenever I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lovely to collapse into a chair befor tackling those muddy boots. Also good for the less intense Wednesday and Thursday when you might allow yourself some out of zone time.

Now here's a lil tip,get a 3legged fold up stool from £land perfect for 5min sit whilst on a bimble but then when back at tent perfect sized foot rest,especially if you got a fire on you will feel like a king. Man I just realized how old that makes me feel Edited November 2, 2018 by glastolover19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flysheet Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 We’re all different... 2017 I managed with 5 pairs of undies, 3 pairs of socks, a sun hat and a clean t shirt each day, plus a decent waterproof that I never wore. I think I managed one pair of shorts. I might have had a toothbrush and deodorant? My other half took double this, plus a full change of clothes every day, plus pillows, and full Toiletries and towels. 2016, I took an extra coat and two hats...

BambooShanks Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Most of the time I take pretty much the same stuff - 6x underwear and t shirts, 3x jeans, wellies, waterproof jacket, a hoody, a jumper and finally my purple velvet party jacket (this is essential TBH, it is magnificent). If its looking highly likely that it'll be warm and dry then some of the warmer clothes may be jibbed off. Conversely if it is looking to be cold and wet, more waterproof / warm clothing will get thrown in and some sort of groundsheet / stool maybe. As for camp supplies, I try to be spartan if going by train/coach but if I'm going by car, it quickly adds up - air mattress, sleeping bag, inflatable pillow, toiletries, couple of packets of wet wipes, disinfectant gel, dry shampoo and a large wide brimmed bottle. Alcohol - generally 1.5 litres of spirits (Rum usually), about dozen of the little cans of craft beer. I have been known to take vodka and Kahlua for mid morning white russians Party supplies - Whatever I can get my grubby little hands on to, big pouch of tobacco, plenty of papers, filters and a load of lighters.

TBH I only tend to wear shorts when its either hella hot or hella pissing it down. Anything inbetween my legs get cold as I'm part lizard and need warmth to function.
