This is the ULTIMATE checklist compiled by members of our forums. We’ve organized in to categories from Essentials to Luxuries, it should help you out!
Essentials
- Ticket
This one is fairly obvious…
- Friends
Or at least people you can leech beer off…
- Tent
Assuming you want to sleep, this is quite important
- Sleeping Bag
If it’s warm then a big blanket will do, but if it’s cold you’ll be glad you brought it!
- Large quantities Alcohol / Drugs
Assuming you’re in to that kind of thing. Always over-estimate what you’ll need, we did by quite a lot and still had to buy a crate on the last day
- Non Alcoholic Beverages
There is nothing nicer than a can of coke on the Monday morning after five days of drinking and dehydration..
- Money
Despite our magnificent and well thought out check list you WILL forget and need to buy SOMETHING at
- Food
That or just double the money you bring, the food stalls are quite pricey.
- Mobile Phone
Handy to find people among the 50,000 or so..
- Condoms
Keets says: Lots Of Dirt Ridden People STD’s All Over The Place, Be Safe Kids! And Even If You Don’t Plan To Score, Look Out For Your Mates.
- Clothes
but not too many, but at least one dry spare for if it rains etc.
- Suntan
so you don’t BUURNN
- Wet Wipes
Newcomers laugh at this, I did, but these things are ESSENTIAL. They beat having a shower, anyway.
- A Torch
Because night is dark!
- Tooth Brush / Mouthwash
Because Listerine is the ultimate drymouth cure
- Deodorant
because you will (no matter what) stink by the end
- Toilet Roll
The toilets don’t have any
Essentials for those who intend to cook
- Cutlery
To eat with
- Tin Opener
For Tins!
- A Lighter / Matches
To light fags, camp stoves, etc. And they sell out at the supermarket FAST.
- Camping Stove
to cook with!
- Camping Gas
Nearly forgot this! Thanks Bretti Boy and scott v.s
- Pots and Pans
to cook in!
- Food
to cook! I recommend Full English in-a-tin and Beans
- Batteries
For anything electrical. Including a spare one for your phone if it runs out quick
Luxuries
- Music
Depending on what you plan on doing Music is pretty nice to have in your tent
- Guitar
There is no situation where a guitar isn’t useful!
- Medication
Paracetomal, Ibuprofen, Painkillers, Pro Plus. Although Beer is well known beat all of these hands down
- Cigarettes
These can be used for bargaining, apparently..
- Batteries
For anything electrical
- Sunglasses
Pretty obvious
- Hat
Again, Pretty obvious!
- Chair
Just shell out the money, it beats sitting on the floor
- Sleeping Mat
only for sensitive sleepers, really
- Carrying Device
We saw wheel barrows and sledges, we wished we had them. If you are bringing a lot you will be carrying it a long way, just bear that in mind..
Wastes of Time
- Skateboards
on MUD? You fool!
- Weapons
Seriously, don’t bother. You will be safer not bringing these things.
- An Up-Your-Own-Arse-Attitude
Seriously not advisable
