This will be my first year at Rockness but I've been to quite a few festivals in my time - the basic essentials I'd advise anyone to bring are; money, bog roll, pot noodles, plenty of drugs (including booze, cigs & painkillers) fruit, barocca, glow sticks and did I mention drugs?

[Guy Rope Tripper]

Two words: Baby Wipes

They are life savers at festivals.

can u buy cigs there? or will they be super expensive? i'm thinking i'll probably run out by the end of day 2!

also, berocca, good idea! berocca and bananas

The truth of the matter is you can turn upto festivals with your ticket and a healthy wallet, nothing else. You can buy everything there from tents to condoms, drugs to jackets, beer to soap. My mates and I have done this before and we managed fine.

This is what I normally take though.....

-money

-ticket

-tent

-sleeping bag

-camping bed

-pillow

-drink

-toothbrush, toothpaste, facewash, large bottle(for water), babywipes, deoderant, condoms, aftershave, hair gel

-kilt, jeans, shorts, tshirtsX4, boxersX4, socksX4, hoodiesX2, water proof jacket, sporran, boots and trainers

-torch, batteries, plastic cups, toilet paper, black bags, shades, cd player+cds, camera, house key

-towel

This all gets packed into a 90 litre bag and the drink onto a fold away trolley. I buy a chair when I'm there.

Some people bring stuff to cook with but I can't be assed with that

I think that's everything for me.

I think cigs were reasonably priced last year like £6.00 for a 20 deck. It's more I know but they could charge more. Some people walk around selling strange Jamacian ones etc for cheaper but I can never find em! I don't smoke but at a festival I do.

i think im just gonna change all the boy stuff to girl stuff(hair gel...to hair spray etc... )an work off your list

[Jeebs]

me + field + booze + kilt would result in an arrest.

also, probemunky, i'm going to be a scrounging student in your part of the earth in september. we should go for a dance.

[Kyelo]

Man!!! Thats a lot of shit to bring to a festival.

Overkill is the word that spring to mind, its a weekend away not a friggin 2 week holiday!!

Think minimal man. Cash, fags, bevvy, narcotics, sleeping bag and some mates so u can use their shit!!

[smutchie]

How is that a lot? My friends do pretty much the same, as long as it can all go in one bag I'm happy. I ain't no scrounger either so using friends 'shit' ain't an option. I can say with 100% confidence I will be fresher than yourself for the whole weekend, it's worth carrying that stuff.

You couldn't imaging the amount of times I've heard-;"I wish I had thought of that!"

[smutchie]

Whoops...never meant to post that twice!
