That's the 30L size. It's not too big (I was worried it will be!)

Forced to have no bag once at a festival, a4 bag rule. So bunged everything in pockets, fleece around waste. The freedom of not having a bag is a total game changer. Try it and you'll never go back to lugging a bag.

This sounds fucking horrible and is making me uncomfortable just thinking about it. I hate having my phone on my pocket when I drive let alone walking 40+ miles over 5 days with all my shit in my pockets and round my waist.

Water bottle? Bog roll? Few cans? A jumper/jacket?

Its ridiculous...and its got worse as the years have gone on - now we've got gangs of 'lads' with bumbags round their chest wearing a football shirt from the mid-90s.

Awful. 😄 

Fuck all wrong with the classic shirts, I'll be donning my Fiorentina 99, Batistuta, Nintendo bad boy...

I draw the line at bum bags over the shoulder...bloody awful indeed

Collapsible water bottle, crap in the morning, drink beer prior to setting off, spirits in hip flask, fleece has lining which doubles up as large pockets, poncho fits in too. Freedom of not worrying about a bag hitting people or kicked on the ground is totally worth leaving stuff behind for the day.

I respect your opinion…  phone cameras are good, but will never compare to a full frame camera combined with decent glass and a skilled person who knows how to use it 😉 check my site out. Http://ambientpix.co.uk

 

hence can’t wait to take some fantastic photos at Glasto ( which I will not be selling btw) 

so .. hence looking for bag to keep cam safe and at hand, combined with my normal shit…

So you're adding a hip flask to the stuff that's already in your pockets weighing your shorts/trousers down even more? 

I need bog roll. I can't shit on command.

One beer in the morning then you're out for the day buying drinks? Or just take a small bag with cans/small bottle of spirits...

I'm not taking a 65L Backpack around... It's a small backpack, on what planet would I need to worry about that hitting people, unless I'm sprinting around backwards? 

Absolutely mental conversations going on here 🤣 having all the shit I need in 2 pockets uncomfortable as fuck or a simple little bag. I'm not going back to my camp when I leave that morning unless strictly necessary. 

Each to their own obviously... but it's mind blowing that a little bag to take essentials around at a festival so you're not buying booze all day or having your legs weighed down, is being questioned.

Not sure how you’re all putting everything in your shorts unless your wearing god awful cargo shorts from the 00s. Get a bag you heathens!

Whats everything?

Lock ups, info points have bog roll, Wateraid gives out sun cream, bars sell booze, water is free from the taps.

Similar to the trolley thread and people making 2 or 3 trips back to the car. What for?!

Mental.

Made I laugh out loud, imagine if you could and someone else knew the secret command.

Cargo shorts are where its at for Glastonbury - why the fuck would you wear anything else?

I think practicality over style is the key for Glastonbury!

Some people care what they look like. 🤷‍♂️ Who knew? 😂 

I mean, I do, to an extent. I loathe cargo shorts, but they’re a step above those trousers that zip off at the knee and become shorts.

Dude, there was no need to go after my Dad like that! 

Can't say I've ever really paid attention to what anyone else was wearing at Glastonbury tbh - unless it was particularly attention grabbing (e.g. Covered in sequins). 

On another note - I'd intended on buying a sequin jacket for this year and never got round to it 😥.

Sorry Zep’s dad! 
I couldn’t give a shit what others wear, but seems like the cargo crew think that’s the only ‘right’ answer to what to wear!? 
Newsflash: the only correct answer to what to wear is, whatever you fancy.

Cargo shorts lads are living their best life as they're not lugging rucksacks around with them like they're about to climb Scafell Pike.

Just wandering around like they’ve climbed out of a foxhole near Basra.

Ready for anything the world can throw at us 😌 

[Spindles]

I'm in the cargo shorts camp.  As for a day bag, Guardian bag is an essential festival purchase for me, I've got a nice collection of them in a variety of colours and designs, always glad to grab a new one each year.

[CaledonianGonzo]

My wife has just forced me to change out my cargo shorts before she'll go out to lunch with me 😔 

[Junglist1981]

Why is it that whenever people discuss how they choose to do things slightly differently based on their personal preferences it always rapidly descends into petty tribalist squabbling?! That’s a question for society at large btw, this thread is just the latest in a very long line of examples.

Bags vs cargo short ffs 😂
