15 Mar 05 - 03:01 PM (#1435463) Subject: festival survival kit From: 42 Afternoon fellow catters, I'm sure that someone, somewhere out in folkland, has a festival survival kit that would suit my situation. Southern Ontario, Canada, early June, outdoor, covered venue I had a glorious one of my own but it was, sadly, lost when my old hard drive gave up the ghost a few years ago. I've searched the ozone and found nothing that quite fit the bill. I hate to recreate what might be out there just waiting to be shared! Can you help? Please....the poster has to go to press within a couple of weeks. merci Jen |

Also, google folk festival survival kits There are a few sites. |

15 Mar 05 - 09:32 PM (#1435701) Subject: RE: festival survival kit From: Bunnahabhain Sit down with a drink of some kind for ten minutes, and write down everything you know you'll need. If you don't think of it in that time, you probably don't need it. The only unusual thing I bring is spare tent poles. They make a flag pole, so I can find the tent easily. Other than that, I agree with Liz. Tankard, toilet roll and single malt. |

15 Mar 05 - 09:38 PM (#1435706) Subject: RE: festival survival kit From: Bunnahabhain To preserve some measure of decency round here, I have shifted the discussion of flavoured condoms to the proper place. There is now a BS thread on the point of them, or any other useless thing that comes to mind. |

I once worked in an organisation that was involved with a sex workers project - As a major proportion of their work was oral sex the usual condoms with spermicide were pretty unpleasant. I once spent a very bizarre afternoon condom tasting to get the best flavour, a bit like wine tasting - well not very much like wine tasting really - but you get the picture! Elfcall PS Mint was the best ! |

16 Mar 05 - 06:08 AM (#1435914) Subject: RE: festival survival kit From: Crystal A recognisable tent so when you are drunk you will get back without embarassment. Apart from that a magazine or two for when there is nothing you want to see/do, soft drinks to stop dehydration when dancing (I personally prefer Apple or Cherry Tango), and the spare loo roll, unless of course you are good friends with the steward in charge of cleaning toilets! |

16 Mar 05 - 02:35 PM (#1436253) Subject: RE: festival survival kit From: 42 thanks for the feedback...I guess I'll just have to cobble one together from all the suggestions. The festival in question is a one day affair and a lot of rookie festival goers are expected so even the obvious needs to be stated. "even if the road will end: the song will travel on" j |
