Tips for festival survival

**Fred West** · August 8th, 2002, 09:23 PM

This will be my fourth leeds festival so id like to think im fairly experienced at it
other stuff that ive learned over the years

Baby wipes - you can use them to "keep your nads fresh" and anywhere else youd like to keep clean

booze - dont rely on the sainsburys near the site for cheap booze (concorde, lambrini, scotsmac and all the other stuff we've grown to love) , all thats usually left after a couple of hours is loads of wierd named stuff that nobody in there right mind likes or buys,unless you wanna buy a crate of beer, but its a pain in the arse treck carrying a crate back to your tent. so just get a few bottles of cheap wine before you go.

food - an essential i found was kellogs pop tarts.
also just outside the site (on the way to sainsburys) there is a greasy spoon all day breakfast van which is alot cheaper and satisfying than the shit they serve on site.any other food you want just buy from sainsburys.

foam Ground mat- i havent taken one yet and every year i wake up damp and rough as fuck and think "why the fuck didnt i get one of those"

Poppers- Just cause theyre funny (available on site)

clothes - a couple of t shirts, jumper/hoodie if it gets cold. Shorts are alot better than trousers if it rains or the grounds wet your skin dries alot quicker than any fabric.
Dont wear converse all stars or any other light footware, theyll get wrecked, skate trainers or doc martins (if your that way inclined) are your best bets

tape player - if you can (i reckon ill be taking on this year as im driving down) If you dont youll be stuck listening to the sounds of the group camped next to you, which 9 times out of 10 is an incubus/lost prophets mix tape (not that im a musical fascist but there is other stuff id rarther listen to)

and thats about all i can think of

Poppers - as in the drug that makes your arsehole slack?

The only shoes I have are all-stars style ones... one pair are already knackered so I'll wear them.

Babywipes = good idea.
Oh, and poptarts I'll take some of them.

I already have a few groundmats.
