I'm a long time lurker so firstly I'd like to say Hi :D

I'm getting together my last few purchases and was wondering what kinda bags you carry your "essentials" around in on site?

P.S. Sooo excited i could do a little wee (and yes, it does need to be big enough to carry my shee wee too haha)

Depends on your definition of essentials.

If that includes several tinnies or a plastic bottle of mixed spirit or wine, then you'll need something sturdy like a medium sized backpack. However if you don't carry around your own drink supply then a small Camelpac type thing will do for odds and ends and a waterproof.

I've used one of those chinese 'messenger bags" from an army surplus shop, turns into a mini pack pack and has hanging points for me to clip my poncho roll to.

Lacks internal pockets though.

If you need a larger bag, from army surplus look at the leather lined French bags, good size, also converts to a back pack, made in teh 50's and 60's for carrying lots of ammo for their old bren gun equivilent so very very tough.

i've got a large drawstring/rucksack type bag. it's big enough to carry lots of stuff in and the drawstrings mean it's difficult for someone to pick-pocket you and you can feel if they're trying to.

it's velvet and multi-coloured and i actually bought it from the festival last year. During Blur a couple behind me actually commented on how nice it was :D

I have bought one of these as the one i took last year was a little small:

Gola Alba Bag

It is brill, large enough for all your bits and pieces but not too huge!

Has a front pocket with a zip for easy access (tissues and handwash stash)

Has a net inside pocket across the width of the bag as well as 2 large slip pockets (big enough to fit a beer or bottle of water) and an inside zip pocket.

Seems pretty waterproof although it's not going to rain this year so doesn't matter!! :D

As i have only just bought it i haven't tried it out at Glasto yet although took it to the beach the other day and was pretty comfy and held all i needed! :D

The cloth bags free with the guardian are also good. You can undo the knots on one side and re do them so in a way that you can wear it across your back/shoulders like a banodlier bag than a rucksack

Always pack a carabina or S hook to be able to hang the bags up in the toilets or on crash barriers if at front for dancing.

This one, in black, from M&S has served me very well for the past few years:

Much less bulky than a day sack, but big enough for all your essentials. It's also only 8 quid. BARGAIN. :D
