Fantastic 4 Human Torch Costumes
How to survive a festival this summer
Live music drunk, getting into the field, mud diving, interesting characters, more Portaloo flowing, oh yes the festival season is in full swing and more for him is the highlight of your year. There's nothing like the atmosphere at a festival, when the sun goes down, the band you expected to see and get the crowd roaring. For a few days, you can forget all that and become engulfed by this feeling magical festival before returning to reality.
Festivals are now more popular than ever, with the creation of new small sites in public places, and with new festivals have new patrons the festival. Frightened by the whole camp, not bathing, lifestyle drunk – panicked people turn to the Internet for guidance about what to expect and they bring.
With more luck this year, after approaching festival ever (that's the Reading Festival just incase you did not know), I thought I tips to share my tips with any party and festival goers for the first time. Preparing for an occasion like this is like a military operation, come prepared and you have an amazing time, come prepared and everything will fall apart. With these tricks and some essential package I believe you will have a weekend to remember.
Buy a trolley – trust me you will end up with huge red welts on their hands to carry things. Typically, the car park bus depo / is very walk from the campsite and if you're just relying on your hands to get their belongings from A to B, then you should think again. If you're smart you'll also bring a backpacking trip – where you can hang an object from many of his strips and closes like a bucking bronco humans. Carry your belongings can really dampen the beginning of its festival and put it in a bad mood.
Wellies – rain or shine these are his best friends. Walking on uneven terrain or shoes (god forbid) jumping can cause serious damage. I think if you are using wellies 24 / 7, then get the right amount of grip and stability on any condition.
baby wipes – this will be his daily bath. Do not wash the most luxurious you ever had, but he begins to clean, however. Trust me feel ten times better after using these.
Toilet roll – it's really amazing how many people do not bring toilet paper roll, yes, is provided Portaloo in, but runs out so quickly. People go into survival mode and immediately snatch entire roll of paper if they are left in the bathroom. It is the festival of gold powder.
A low point for the ladies – if you're going to use a sheepee / Genius, then do it in the toilet. I can understand that is easier than hanging over a pit of Portaloo process, but nobody wants to see him aligned with the rest of the male population against a wall – it makes you look weird.
Airbed – a bit of a luxury yes, but totally worth it. You can choose from a tenner in Asda. If you have ever slept on a mattress roll or sheet of soil, then you know what I mean, it's hard, cold, and will give you joint pain. You want to be at your best and not yawn festival – so invest because it is so worth it. For the ultimate night's sleep to get some caps too.
A sleeping bag as well – bringing a quilt is just a great lack no. He gets wet, they are difficult to transport and to be honest you look like you've never been to a festival in your life. You can pick up sleeping bags festival Millets of which are specially designed for the festival season, I brought one this year and are on site. For those who feel the cold I recommend bringing a jumper to wear the bed just incase.
The tent good – the best way to ruin your festival experience is to buy a tent poor. Two skin tents are a must, skin tents will only let in water and if you touch the sides when you prepare to get soaked. If you can afford a tent with a porch, then buy one – it provides a quiet refuge for his party when it pours. If you have a flag of some sort, then attach it to the top of the tent you so you can find in the hundreds.
The picnic blanket or sheet floor. There is nothing better than getting your friends to form a circle of tents around a point party central where you can place one pastry sheet / blanket. A small spot where everyone can meet is also a festival should make the pre-party before leaving to enjoy entertainment and a breakfast item to laugh about the previous nights activities. Some people like to pop up in a gazebo that space – this is an idea bright however some campsites do not allow them. Be warned, if you're leaving a meeting space and make it small enough that someone can not put a tent on top of him – stretch the strings in the face area.
Torch – walk, go to the bathroom, rummaging in the tent, sitting in a meeting outside the tent. The torch is a festival essential.
Basic clothing. Not a fashion show, but you can still look good. If you pack your best clothes ready to say goodbye to them. You'll get laughed out of the festival, if you're dressed to the nine, is only common sense to be comfortable in that environment. Beyond that you will stand out like a sore thumb, and possibly being ridiculed. Fantasy is always fun, so if you want to dress up then let it be usual.
garbage bags – a clean field is a field so happy just to bring some garbage bags in their pop (recycling and black bags, if possible!). They also double up as places to protect your ass on the floor wet, keep cool and dry their clothes and wellies if wet – stick your foot in a garbage bag before moving it in wellie.
Hat and Rain Mack – your hair will be greasy (unless you have dry shampoo) for help from a hat to hide the embarrassment. Unless you want to get seriously ill, then I suggest getting a rain mack. I got caught in a mack down without pouring rain and got soaked for several hours. Macks Rain and festivals go hand in hand.
For those who can not live without their cell phones – get a portable charger. There are generally charging tents at festivals, but they are darn expensive and who wants to spend time in a tent charging your phone!
Needless to say really, but never leave anything in your tent that you do not not mind losing. There will always be those types of people who steal things from tents, they will be in and out before you know it. Bumbag, purse, backpack, pockets – their values on you.
Food & Drink – Food Festival is notoriously expensive so bring your own. I know that everyone will turn their nose up, but pot noodles are excellent food festival – easy, quick and hot. You do not even need a stove for camping – bring a flask walk to the next tea / coffee and sweet stall convince them to give you a little hot water. Festival of drinks are expensive so take your own water and alcohol.
Last but no means least – the music. It seems strange to many that if you're going to a music festival you need to bring music of your choice. But after the main acts have finshed and you're not quite ready for bed – the music is useful and provides a great end a fantastic evening.
So if you have all the hints and tips for a perfect summer festival. Enjoy.
