My suggestion, camp with Tabbbooma and/or Butch. You will want for nothing and you will laugh your ass off for a weekend..LOL

[IT_Buzz]

Thanks peeps! Lots of good ideas. Will incorporate these into my Vibes weekend of fun.

As for the heat this past year... we never even set the tent up. We just slept on our sleeping pads under the EZ-Up.

Prolly a fire extinguisher if you are in family camp...

A shotgun with birdshot if you are in family camping and you see Chinese laterns flying over head.

Cheap solar garden lights are a great way to make a path that doesn't bring people over your tent guy lines. I find having a roll of duct or gaffers tape always comes in handy. If you have the space, a portable jump start box saves you when you're using the car radio, and is a handy place to charge a phone.

THIS@!

3 part series that I wrote for hidden track a year or two ago with a bunch of awesome tips (if I do say so myself) --- be warned I am a crazy "camper" and I basically take anything and everything with me that I could ever possibly need

[tyedyedee]

yes you do, carla...you will forever be my hero when we were setting up velcro (i think it was the first year back in seaside? )
anyway, it was HOT and setting up was sweaty and annoying and you appeared like an angel, offering us popsicles from your dry ice-filled cooler of icy wonders

it was the best popsicle ever

[Mama Kel]

Dr.Bronner's Peppermint Soap is the tittybombs for cooling down in the shower at a hot fest. Biodegradable, too.

Just don't brush your teeth with it ((((((Frank)))))))

his 'handler' is a good guy, though, with a perfectly amusing evil giggle, amplified a bit by the aforementioned 'dougie' but still

Tell me about it - he lived in the tent right in back of mine.

[kenbud]

Rain gear, never know when a down pour is gonna happen. Always check the weather 2week and up! Mmmmmmm ice cream in the summer........ I always tell my friend drake he's in charge of it every year at AG but never get any........ never had the heart to tell him just to get dry ice.....

For the record, Dougie never made it out to Furthur at Coney Island.. / CMU (whatever venue that was). He gets a bad enough rap as it is, let's not pin stuff on him he had nothing to do with

Dougie tried so hard to behave when people were sleeping... I think that warrants another invite for next year.

I hear Dougie likes you too.

You mean that was YOU?!?!

[Heady]

I saw this on fb the other day and want to try it. You put a head lamp around a gallon of water it makes a cool ambient lantern that won't hurt your eyes.

Bury the headlamp in the ground, and place water directly on top of the light. Even cooler!

Dougie isn't the one you have to worry about. Its his cousin Thuggie.

You mean that was YOU?!?!

Bottle of vodka (.. Smirnoff? Could it have been Smirnoff?) with a Sprite chaser got crushed on the hour-long subway ride there... Headache on the way home was damn near unbearable... When we made it to manhattan from BK, I said "fuck it boys, we're getting off at canal street and we're fuckin' cabbing it back to Queens. I can't take another freakin' minute on this god damn subway."

Rare form...

[kramer]

we have a big rubbermaid bin we call the "festival pack". It holds all of our fest essentials- plates/silverware/paper towels/grill tools/coffe pot/coffee/sugar/first aid kit/garbage bags/flashlights//toys/bling/etc... it makes packing so much easier! Just toss that baby in the car!
