31 Mar 07 - 11:38 PM (#2013084) Subject: What to pack for a Folk festival/weekend From: Soldier boy As I get older I find it more and more daunting to pack for a Folk Festival/Weekend. I like to go camping and that means packing for every eventuality and the weather. It becomes a bit like a S.A.S survival expedition/mission in hostile territory. You have to consider every scenario you might encounter over the term of a weekend or a week. More often than not you pack 10 times more than you actually will need. If you are an artist,concert-goer,musician,singer,morris dancer,steward,stall-holder or organiser etc etc what are your must- pack items? I do not intend this thread to be of a too serious or intellectual nature so please feel free to have fun with it and be as silly as you like. So what are your suggestions to pack for the typical Folk Festival Week/Weekend???? |

01 Apr 07 - 12:43 AM (#2013138) Subject: RE: What to pack for a Folk festival/weekend From: Cap't Bob I pack whatever is deemed necessary in order to have a good time. This will always include a wide assortment of musical instruments. The necessities of life (things that keep us alive) are packed by my wife. She actually likes to do that sort of thing. If all the packing were left up to me I'd probably have a lot of fun but may not survive a 3 day festival. We are not hampered by the lack of space for transportation. Some years ago I acquired an old (1952) 20 passenger school bus. Rather short and stubby so its easy to park. I hollowed out the insides and put a bed/seat running lengthwise along each side. It's all open so when we get rain/storm/cold the bus will accommodate around 12 people playing instruments. With all the windows it is rather interesting to watch people trying to secure tents, patch leaks, getting soaked etc. The big fancy RV's with small windows miss out on half the fun. The bus also doubles as a band bus and when used in parades we attach a portable sound system. When you get old you need something like this. Cap't Bob |

As for clothes.. what ever is clean and doesn't need ironing! For several years I found I had a habit of packing 15 pairs of socks and no knickers or 15 pairs of knickers and no socks. After doing that too many times, I gave up wearing socks. Now I only have to remember the knickers. Manitas travels heavy. When I go camping, there's room in the car for all my things, a child and her things, and often another passenger and their things. Manitas goes camping and the estate car is full to bursting with just his stuff. I have to check sometimes, that he hasn't got the bath in there or taken all the knives. LTS |

I do take a nap now and then and actually have a bus full of pillows of various sizes and shapes. For "cat" naps try the large "Martha Stewart" style ~ we bought ours at K-mart. I tried to get red and green for port and starboard but they only had blue and red. It's a tough life. If you have friends who overindulge you can always prop their heads up out of the dirt by using a log or rock. They usually don't seem to mind. That way you won't "soil" a good pillow. Cap't Bob |

Our "porta-potti" chemical toilet is a "must"---who wants to walk in the rain, or trudge through mud or wet grass, to reach a site toilet, only to find it"s fully occupied / there"s no paper / there"s no water /several people have been "unwell" in various ways - Etc..?? No , thankyou !! And don"t forget--Spare Tent-pegs,and cordage -----The last 2 years at Sidmouth, the wind has got up, and I have had to put in extra pegs and guy-ropes ! Also--instead of those bulky,useless, battery-guzzling camping-lanterns, try using a couple of the AA mini-Maglites, or similar......hang them upside down, and unscrew the heads right off, and you will get a much better ,all-round light. You can now get various "maglite " copies that actually have on / off switches, so you don"t need to screw the head back on to turn them off !! And AA batteries are easy to buy and store ! And , finally, always take toilet-rolls and kitchen -towel rolls, as they have so many uses ( especially if it rains ! ). |

Also: Reading glasses (for those with failing faculties, as mentioned above) Lists of songs/tunes you like in case you can't think what to play or sing Prompt cards/notes for songs if necessary (no discussion please - songbook thread is already dealing with this) Manuscript paper if you are able and likely to write down a tune J-cloths (infinitely useful) "sports" type mineral-water bottle - handy to carry in the daytime, doesn't spill if you knock it over in the night. small folding stool you can take in to sessions etc if seating is in short supply Piece of bubble-wrap big enough to sit on (keeps you dry and insulated if you sit on damp ground) We also take a 2-litre icecream box filled with lots of little items that may be useful - spare lilo bungs, pen, felt-tip marker, insulating tape, string, a length of that stripey hazard tape, matches, Swiss Army knife, etc etc. And some sort of bag or small rucksack with room to carry some of the above around with you, as well as some picnic food, drinks etc. Marje |

03 Apr 07 - 09:10 AM (#2015219) Subject: RE: What to pack for a Folk festival/weekend From: JennyO Most of the above, and then some. Any of my friends would be happy to tell you that I don't travel light. If anyone has forgotten anything, I'm the one they come to because it's pretty certain I will have it. I'm in the process of packing for The National Folk Festival in Canberra this weekend - leaving on Thursday morning. There are a few special things one has to consider for this festival. One is that the weather is capable of huge temperature changes between the day and the night, so a great variety of clothes is needed, including very warm bedding. I always take a hot water bottle too, because my feet get cold, and unless I can warm them up, I find it impossible to warm the rest of myself up. Another feature of this place is that the ground is rock-hard, and it is very hard to hammer pegs in. The last time John went to this festival, he took a drill to make the holes for the pegs! Another thing I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned, is a highlighter pen to mark the things one wants to see in the program. I might take a selection of colours this time, because having looked at the program online, the events on the program have a yellow background, much like my usual highlighter colour. If the printed program is like that, I will need pink or a strong green for highlighting. |

Finish off the ends with hems. Can be handsewn in a jiff or even-- horrors!-- left raggedy! Packs small, absorbs a lot of water, dries very fast, covers ALL. Can be used for a million other things enumerated elsewhere such as shawl/laprobe/spare blanket; tablecloth, seat cushion or cover; sari/kilt/bathrobe/jammies; laundry bag, window curtain, songbook sack; shade-maker or turban (dry for warm or wet for cooling)... shroud... memory holder!

03 Apr 07 - 03:43 PM (#2015488) Subject: RE: What to pack for a Folk festival/weekend From: Soldier boy Mr Red, what's this obsession with red T-shirts (do you actually own 35 of them)? The trouble with this scenario must surely be that no matter how many times you tell people that you change into a fresh T-shirt 5 times a day no one will believe you and will just think that you have worn the same red T-shirt all week and may try to avoid getting down-wind of you (even though you are squeaky clean!) Interesting logistics but not convinced this works in a tightly-knit social environment. In other words, how does it affect your 'pulling' power? Could be useful in a Blind Date situation though because you will always be able to say I'll be the one in a red T-shirt! Anyway, I've just discovered a flaw in your mathematics. If you pack 20 red T-shirts for 4 days you will need to pack 35 red T-shirts for 7 days (@5 a day). So you have enough red T-shirts after all and don't need to pack any soap powder! So no domestication required. How good is that? |
