Camping list

Here's a suggested list of items you might like to think about taking to festival.

• Alcohol And a bottle opener for wine or flip tops.
• cordial if you get sick of drinking plain tank water during the day.
• Food or membership of a food fund.
• Duct tape
• Cable ties
• Plastic bags
• Boots x 2 pairs
• T-Tunics or dress if you're a girlie
• Pants
• A *warm* Cloak (it gets real cold at night)
• Belt
• Bowl
• Spoons (2 are harder to loose than one, besides, I don't like eating sweet stuff with a spoon that's covered in vegatable gunk), knife
• teatowel - helps dry your dishes, wipe your hands on during meal, mop up spills, etc
• Tankard or goblet
• Chair
• Towel (so you can dry off after your shower)
• Armour
• Money to buy cool stuff from the merchants
• Tent (period or modern) (failing this, find someone else's tent)
• Sleeping bag/blanket (failing this, find someone else's)
• pillow - optional, but much more comfortable
• Lilo or something to sleep on (or, find someone)
• snack food since you cannot rely on merchants being available and communal snacks never last long, if they even exist
• pouch to put your money and other stuff in
• socks or hose
• stuff to wear to bed (depending upon shared state of sleeping arrangements). undertunics/dresses make great period nightgowns for both sexes. Otherwise consider pyamas/boxers unless you are close friends with your tent mate.
• craft projects - if you're not fighting, there'll be plenty of time to sew/knit/braid/weave, etc while you watch the fighting or socialise.
• A Good Supply of No Shit, There I Was stories. (Note- these are sometimes available at the event).
