How Do You Bonnaroo?

Share:    

Preparation:

* Every year before I go I look at the lineup and check out music of bands I don't know. Usually I end up with some new favorites.

* Check out the schedule before you leave, a plan of attack is essential to make it to all the shows you want to see

Clothes:
Share:    

* Bandana (soaking the bandana in ice water feels awesome) And at the end of the weekend it serves as a good dust guard from the gravel

* Hat

* Chacos

* Closed toed comfy shoes for nighttime

* Clothes for hot weather and nighttime chilliness

* Sweatshirt and socks are not to be forgotten!!

Gear:

* Sunscreen

* Antibacterial soap

* Small hand soap to use at water stations (antibacterial only kills the bacteria, need hand soap to wash the filth off)

* TP

* Baby wipes (for the ladies, bring a portable pack to bring with you into centeroo in case the porties are out of tp)

* Camelbak

* Poncho

* Head lamp or flashlight to bring to centeroo at night

* Mini spray bottle with fan

Campsite:

* Tent and air mattress, although my friends have slept on cots and hammocks and loved it

* Tarps

* Canopy to set up the chilling area (multiple canopies between a big group would be best)

* Chairs

* Battery powered lantern for campsite

* Boom box with batteries to listen to Bonnaroo radio while your at the campsite

* Extra batteries

* Fold up table among a group of people is always nice to keep food/boom box/drinks off the ground

* Power adapter for car to charge camera/phone

Food:

* Snacks like protein bars, peanut butter crackers, fruit snacks to pack in your camelbak when you go to see shows

* I try to bring mostly dry food with the exception of fruit. Ice melts fast in June and it gets expensive to keep a cooler cold.

* I avoid bringing anything that needs to be cooked because it's so hot you don't want to be cooking over a hot grill. What I do is eat breakfast/lunch (pb and banana sandwiches, and Wal-Mart sells an overstuffed foot long sub for $5 that lasts the whole weekend) at the campsite and buy dinner from a vendor. Prices are affordable and you'll see everyone else eating the delicious food, believe me you'll want it.

* Gallons of water (and drink often, I got dehydrated one year and it was not fun)

* Case of beer in cans, koozie is always nice too

* Alcohol in plastic containers

* Red Bull (& Vodka) for the perfect morning drink

* Plastic cups

* Paper plates

Showers:

Sometimes I use a gallon of water to rinse my hair, but usually just do a poor mans shower with lots of baby wipes. There are water stations close to each campsite where I brush my teeth, wash my hands, etc. Once you get over the dirty factor and realize everyone there is as dirty as you, you don't really care about being clean.
