Carrying your booze etc

[Glastogib]

Whats everyones preference. Currently debating over rucksack after rucksack. 

any suggestions for daytime carrying. I dont want to be stuck with a massive rucksack on my back when having a dance.

A small 25-30 litre backpack.

I have a 33 litre Osprey backpack. Plenty of room to stick a few tins, fleece, water bottle and sun lotion

It is bit of a pain when dancing but not sure what the options are.

Back packs are incredibly anti social in crowded areas, when alcohol and dancing are involved you're going to end up whacking people with them. I take a small 5ltr shoulder bag that's just big enough to fit 2/3 500ml bottles/cans  and a few other bits (perfect for me as I tend to go onto red wine then run later in the evening). If I need to carry more booze during the day I use the the cloth bag you get given on entry, which can then be folded and put in a pocket when the booze runs out.

+1 for using the cloth bag as @fur_q suggests for cans during the day.

I also use a very compact Camelback mule rucksack (Some mates fill the hydration bladder with cider, never risked it myself! ) which is big enough to fit in a couple of bottles of spirits & mixers but doesn't cause too much of a hazard in crowds.

If you're ending up camped miles away from the main areas, you could always stick a bag of cans in a lock up.  Bit of a faff for sure, but better than trying to trek around with 24 cans on your back...

If you do the latter though, make sure you donate!

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Probably going to look at minimising the amount of cans to take with me each day. and go for spirits.

Decathlon* have small rucksacks that fold up to fit in a small carry bag that slips into your pocket when empty. I find it very handy at night.

*other brands / suppliers may also be available ;-)

These??

 

They look really good

I've got one of these which folds down very tidily.  Quite a few quid more expensive, but have used it for the last couple of festivals carrying ponchos a folding coolbag with some cans etc.

Wear camo shorts with large side pockets so you can fit a few beers in. And if you have to take a backpack, put it on the floor between your legs when in a crowd!

They're the ones very handy for night time wandering

I tend to use a small-ish rucksack (like the standard school kid kind of size?) which can easily hold 10+ tins plus spirit + waterproof, and use it for the day time, then by night if theres anything left in it just pop it into a lock-up or just wear it on my back as its flat when theres nout in there!
