(Part 3) Top products from r/Lollapalooza

If you can sneak these in, they are AMAZING when you're fucked up, tired, and hungry. I always open the bag, take a handful, and pass the rest out to the people around me. To quote my favorite movie:

"I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom."

Security is meh for the most part. No metal detectors or drug dogs at the gates or anything like that. They do pat you down, but the severity of that depends on who's doing the patdown. They hire out a third party security to do it, not like the Chicago police, so the security is people who aren't getting paid enough to give a shit. Try to eye ahead and see which people are patting down the hardest and avoid those lines.

Keep an eye on this subreddit and people should post about security as the festival progresses.

As for a flask, that shouldn't be an issue. Last year, my friends and I bought collapsible plastic flasks, filled them up, and stuck em in the freezer the night before. Then just took some string and tied the flask around our inner thigh/gooch and walked right in. We then went to the bathroom, took it out, and put it in our camelbak packs.

Here's a link to those:

Find an area in front of one of the speaker stacks or sound-booth so you're protected when the crowd moves and wont get knocked over and bring one of these. You'll have a great view, plus it's a good spot to have anyway.

It truly does depend on the security guard you have. My 'never fail' way is taping / trying soft plastic flasks to my inner thighs. I can get about 10 shots in that way.

• Every year I buy one of these poncho sets and it gets me through the entire festival season. $10.95 for 10 ponchos: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01092C09M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

• And I just got these lightweight foldable water bottles to clip to my bag. Ones fine for during the day but at night for the headliners, the water lines get long. So I'll use both! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UGQBTP8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

also this one looks good here! especially since it has space to hold stuff.

This is what I use. Have two zipper compartments and a mesh area that can fit two water bottles.

As others have stated, it depends on the security guard you encounter. However, I will say that I have managed to consistently get in lolla with the following drawstring bag here.

https://www.amazon.com/Level-Terrain-FlipBelt-Waist-Medium/dp/B00JF9EMMO/ref=sr_1_3/146-9264719-2888818?ie=UTF8&qid=1500860261&sr=8-3&keywords=running+belt

It has 2 zip pockets, and 2 bigger flip pockets. Fits my Nexus 6 just fine!

This is the one I bought. Do you suggest I try and hide/bury it in my bag or make it somewhat visible to not draw suspicion?

1,000 sticks for $60. If you have prime, you'll get them.

I don't see them on the permitted or prohibited items list though.

AMAZING
this will help you out sooooo much.

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/TETON-Sports-Oasis-Hydration-Backpack/dp/B00NP6SXNW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1469215530&sr=8-2&keywords=teton+sports+oasis

I ordered these concealable flasks (Amazon link) for sneaking booze in to make mixed drinks on the cheap.

http://www.amazon.com/Intocircuit-11200mAh-Portable-Technology-Smartphones/dp/B00BB5GR0A buy one (or at this price even two) of these. I used it at coachella last year in combination with their charging stations and it lasted me two days. and I just recharged it out on the field when it finally died. the thing is a tank, has an LED screen and a flashlight, has two charging ports, and I'll probably get another one for my girlfriend this year.
