Festival Gear

[benforsh]

Having worked in camping shops for several years and a keen festivaller, there are many festival revellers that come through the doors to buy gear in prepartion for their festival.

I have discovered that many of the shops are specifically tailored towards 'proper' camping and outdoor pursuits leaving many 'novice' festival goers confused about products.

i'm just wondering what peoples thoughts would be on creating a specific, easy to use, tailor made festival camping shop only stocking good quality and value festival equipment rather than 'extreme' camping gear normally associated with camping shops.

I like this idea. Would this be an actual store..? I think similar shops are available online, but i wouldnt describe them as affordable.

I think many new or confused festival goers who opt out of the big camping stores end up taking value range supermarket gear. This is not the best, so your suggestion may well have a market in a one stop does all capacity if you could improve on this.

It could be a good idea, however festivals are kinda seasonal, what will happen in the middle of winter etc?
