The Ultimate Festival Packing Check List
The festival check list you’ve been waiting for… has arrived!
When you drive off, spirits high, music volume higher, windows down and friends tucked in beside you, you want to make sure you have everything you need. You want to be ready to attack the festival face on (or face down in many cases lol), and be prepared for pretty much anything.
Festival organisers and the stalls located on site are very good at marking up prices on even the smallest of items that are easy to forget, but you will 100% need. I’m thinking tent pegs, bottle opener, toilet roll, etc.
Let’s face it, after a couple of vodkas you aren’t going to be volunteering to leave the festival to get anything, and will probably just ‘suck up’ the price for the sake of convenience.
Am I right or am I right? Right.
So unless you get organised ahead of time, it’s going to become a very expensive festival.
