How do you Bonnaroo?
How do you Bonnaroo?
Preparation:
Every year before I go I look at the lineup and check out music of bands I dont 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:
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 its so hot you dont 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 youll see everyone else eating the delicious food, believe me youll 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 dont really care about being clean.
