Reminder.

The music festival I am going to this summer is about a month away.  Needed this to remind me and my friends.

Checklist

1.  FIRST, do not forget your tickets!

2.  Bring your ID

3.  Sunglasses

4.  Some sort of head protection -  hat, beanie, bandana, etc.

5.  Poncho or raincoat

6.  Rain boots, it is better to be prepared for everything than not.  Sadly, I know from experience.

7.  A decent tent, save up money and buy a decent tent.  Not a good idea to go with the lowest grade of tents.

8.  Umbrella

9.  Torch or Flashlight

10.  This is a huge one that a lot of "noobies" do not think about, bring a FLAG.  A flag is something you can hang high at your campsite so late at night or during the day you and your friends can locate camp.

11.  Phone, Camera, Wallet.  My girlfriend always wears a fanny pack to hold our money and phones in, that way it never leaves her side.

12.  Sleeping bag, pillow, air mattress, roll mat

13.  Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Baby wipes, Deodorant, no one likes a stinky hippie.  BUG SPRAY as well.

14.  Lighter, Duct Tape, Advil, Sunscreen, Knife, Disposable cutlery

15.  YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY TARPS.  Tarps will be a life saver if the rain comes a splashing on in.

16.  Camelbak.  There should be water stations everywhere but I still recommend bringing lots of bottle water to keep at the camp.

17.  Food.  Food is a big one that you have to decide what you want.  You can buy food at the festival but when the bad weather hits you better hope you have food at camp.  Lots of protein bars, beef jerky, sandwich meats, freeze dried foods, these are easy things.  If you want bring small cooking appliances and stuff for breakfast and dinner.

18.  HAVE FUN.  For example my last festival experience was my first to deal with TERRIBLE weather and my group still had FUN.  It is all about the people you go with first off, second you just need to be prepared for anything and you will be alright.
