Quark Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Made a few final tweaks this morning. Tubbed up coffee (morning) and some peppermint teabags (bed time 😄), stuffed the fully charged power banks and cables into the rucksack along with baccy and lighters. Dug out my butt pouch and stuck that in there as well. Travel clothes all set out for the morning. Just need to fly into town later to pick up a sleeping mask, then it's clipping my hair tonight so it's nice and fresh, decanting posh booze into the hip flask (don't want it sat in there too long) and we're done. Bag will go in the car ready for the morning for Mrs Q to drop me at the station and off we go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically use my Pixel 6's adaptive charging' function. I understand that this is good for the phone's battery, but is it sensible or stupid for charging from a battery pack? Wondering whether to turn the setting off for when I'm using my Anker at the fest. 13 hours ago, 4AssedMonkey said: I’d welcome any similar advice for iPhone XR. Coz I’m a technospaz. Turn it off, the power banks can switch themselves off if they detect they are no longer charging a device. Adaptive charging switches off the charging so that you arrive at 100% charge around the time you wake up. Basically, they're not really compatible. But definitely worth using when you are connected to a mains supply at home! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoo Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Currently loading up the car with some things my mate is gonna drive down for us as we're coaching it, ready to drop over to his in a bit. Pack V1 completed last night and will be unpacking and repacking with hopefully less stuff, later on this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the advantage of being of use if your stuff is very dirty and muddy on the way back. I'd have it under the bag personally.

Cleverleyson Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Not enough, I've currently tracking down my boots i've not seen since 2017 and worthyfm is fucked. Edited June 21, 2022 by Cleverleyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleverleyson Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Turn Screen brightness down, Vibration off, Android has a power saving mode too which is pretty good. Also take a battery pack with you so you can charge it on the go or while sleeping, If you really wanted too turning it off at night while you sleep helps alot. Otherwise you'll be queuing at what used to be the Orange place and have to sit for a hour while your phone is charging. Which isn't fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownesMR Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know where I can find any sort of drink crystals in Bristol? I'm trying to find something to pack that's light and I can just add to water to mix with my vodka. No luck at Tesco Express or Sainsbury Locals. Thanks!

I go for the clashfinder view, double sided on A4 for each day. I find that easiest to read as the colours stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
