(Part 3) Top products from r/hulaween

Our friends got us this guy after we told them how much we loved the one they had. They have the bigger size so when we go to fests together, the long side of our smaller one lines up perfectly with the short side of theirs! Super easy to clean and if sticks or high grass poke thru it just goes right back without ruining its integrity. Highly recommend!

My go to set up is a

• Canopy ($50 from walmart, but more expensive ones will probably last longer)
  
  
• Tent (4 person tent works for me, I bought this one on Amazon when it was on sale for $50 IIRC)
  
  
• Air bed (standard queen air mattress, but set up your tent a few days before the festival to make sure the air mattress will fit inside the tent)
  
  
• Bedding, blankets, pillows: Put this stuff in your car after you wake up each morning (or in a Ziploc. I use a large vacuum bag). If the nighttime temperatures drop too much the temperature deviation will cause condensation to form on everything in your tent.. aka your blankets will be wet when you come back to sleep.
  
  
• Aside from that, some LED lights (I have a flashlight and headlamp) for walking and some LED lighting for your campsite. The guy next to me hung up 10 or so of these LED Camping Lights on the horizontal bars of his canopy, and it was great for chilling at the campsite at night
  
  
• I have a ENO Hammock as well as the Air Hammock. The latter is what I slept on alot during Okee. I put my phone and everything in the car and just had my keys in my pocket. With a a pillow and heavy blanket I slept maybe 2 nights and several naps like that

This is a great idea! Other suggestions for items are small rolls of toilet paper, those pods that fold out to washcloths when they get wet, and packets of hand wipes. :)

Yeah, it was. The end of rows looked like dinosaur skeletons. By the last day I actually had the only canopy that was still standing in whole row. If you're in the market for a canopy I can't recommend this one enough, it's heavy as hell and the bag doesn't have any wheels but it's an absolute tank, well worth the price. Especially after seeing all of those $100 or less canopies that crumple after a strong gust of wind.

Vendors are typically one of the last things to be listed.

I don't have any dietary restrictions but I always bring a few of these mountain house packets with me to festivals. This particular one is GF but I'd imagine a lot of their other packets are GF as well.

Two servings and you just need hot water so a very easy meal. Aside from this I bring protein bars and general snacks.

So I was getting excited and did some amazon shopping. I'm posting some links to some things I found.

I know there was one towards the back of the amphitheater, right against the sidewalk. Saw a bunch of people there charging phones.

I grabbed one of these from work. It was perfect! It's waterproof and solar rechargeable:

Battery powered fairy lights. You can get all white or colors. Some of them come with a remote which is uber impressive.

I say go all out Vicki! Its Hulaween after all. We don't wait all year for this for no reason :). I also have two shark onesies you will see us around in - https://www.amazon.com/WOTOGOLD-Animal-Cosplay-Costume-Pajamas/dp/B017OU1XC2/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1506008307&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1&keywords=shark+onesie

I saved on the underquilt by going with Snugpack, which makes a huge difference for hammock ass when the overnight lows drop. The Blackbird has an integrated layer underneath for a sleeping pad, but I prefer to just use the Jungle Blanket because I don't like the added stiffness of a pad.
