On the comfort (lenor) bottle thing - I take a (very) weak solution of bleach with me. My daily routine, my comfort bottle is poured out into the long drops, bit of said weak bleach (we're talking detol spray strength) and my comfort bottle is clean fresh and lovely.

If bleach too strong you burn your knob the following day, you don't know you've done it until a few hours later when there's a fire down below. That's never happened, ever.

If you empty the bottle into long drops or compost toilets isn’t there a risk that the bleach could kill all of the bacteria that break it down into fertiliser?  I know that for septic tanks bleach is a big no-no.

I do... but even with no real sense of shame about that I gotta say try taking a bottle.

When you need it at silly o'clock and it's having a nice morning shower to damp the dust down and you don't end up in a miserable way you'll feel so chuffed you'll take a bottle every year without fail.

Not an issue, if I put that much in my bottle then you'd spot me running around hold me bits shouting a lot.

I hate the taste of the tap water at festivals, always find there's a slight hint of chlorine especially if you've filled up a large container at camp and leave it. I've just bought some of these charcoal water filters that you can just pop in your bottle and they remove some of the impurities that leave that funny taste, looks like you have to let it work for half hour or so but if you're using a steel bottle it should still be cold once you get to it

This could be the one. Wide neck. Smaller than Lenor. Opaque. Screw top (but with a flip-open nozzle).

I Was in the corner shop earlier and spotted Bonjela reduced to 33p so bought two tubes. 

Got home, peeled off the reduced label and it’s Bonjela teething gel for babies. 

Will it still do the job do we reckon?

Depends on the job you had planned for it.....

When we've done this we actually put the foil between the inner and outer parts of the tent, so would be tricky to steal! But thanks. Loving the gif!

So do you have foil resting on the inner part of the tent, and then pegged to the bottom of that? I'm having trouble visualising how to do it!

Ulcers! Is it basically the same stuff as standard Bonjela?

It doesn't have the same anti septic qualities but will relieve the pain. Additionally rinsing your mouth with salt water will help.

There’s a lot of discussion about chargers, I have the below power bank, I get about 5 full charges from it (IPhone X) highly recommend!

You could probably get the same size charger from amazon for half the price of that one. 

[EamerRed]

Yeah something like this would do the same job for £22.99

very simple one ...but put the number for credit / debit card cancellation into your mobile phone  .... just in case of any mishaps

I have that one and it is indeed excellent.

I also noticed that Barbster lad had one when I was watching his latest vlog thing.

Well chuffed with it. Expected maybe 4-5 full charges. Definitely didn’t expect 8 ??

You already know the answer to this but -

5am. Wake up. Busting for a piss. Toilets are 10 minutes away and involve getting dressed, navigating tents, and going along path ankle deep in mud.

Some times it's just not logistically doable.

It is logistically doable. I know this because us gals do it every time because we don't have the equipment to pee in bottles?

 

 

[Crazyfool01]

if you wait a couple of days there are usually abandoned chairs left around the pyramid arena .... so take a bit of duct tape and these are often perfectly recyclable and it also has the benefit of helping the cleanup crew by removing some ..... Love the Farm guys

We do if we buy a Shewee.

[Woffy]

I think using the Lenor bottle is more convenience than logistics. 

I managed not piss myself in the night all the years I haven't taken one.

[frostypaw]

100% convenience. Glorious, calm and hurdle-free convenience.

[uscore]

Are there really people who don't have a lenor bottle (or similar) in their tents?
