(Part 2) Top products from r/okeechobeemusicfest

Replying to my own comment with some purchasing recommendations:


2. Next level folding chair. The locking feature is sick, most comfortable camp chair I've owned.

My goto folding table. I've got a bigger 8 foot one if I'm camping with a big group but this small one is perfect for 1-4 people.

3. Highly recommend this charger. Will charge a typical iPhone like 5 times and has QC 3.0 built in (quick charge, which is a nice feature at a festival). Currently on sale for $40 if you clip the coupon, I've seen it as low as $30, they'll probably go on sale for black Friday and Christmas too.

5. Bring a box of these babies and if it gets cold, you've suddenly made like 40 friends.

6. Something like this is a good choice for makeup. In case you have to go back to camp and freshen up, the light is a nice touch.

Get a cheap hanging shoe organizer and hang it from your easy up, you can store your snacks and stuff in it!

If you have the funds get a utility battery that can jump a car, I use one to keep 10+ phones topped up for the majority of the weekend. This is a newer model of the one I have.

Firefly lights a great way to illuminate the camp at night and one use of the batteries should last all weekend as long as you turn them off during the day.

Easy ups are usually 40-50 bucks at Dick’s sporting goods. Although my one regret is getting one with a larger footprint than the covered area (legs are angled outward). The ones that have the same covered area as the foot print (legs go straight up and down) are much better, especially when combining a few easy ups together!

All I got for now

You can probably just buy weed in the festival, and last year they sold rolling papers at the general store lol. Otherwise you're gonna have to deal with the inconsistent security. You'll have like a 1 in 10 chance of getting super-searched when getting into the fest.

One thing that some may overlook: recovery/hydration drinks.

This right here is worth its weight in gold: https://www.amazon.com/RecoverORS-Clinical-Rehydration-Poisoning-Hangover/dp/B00FOTDVS0/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1487343474&sr=1-2&keywords=RecoverORs

Did they look like these? They're not really blue at first glance but they are a dark blue gradient. I let my friend borrow them and she said that she lost them when walking to the grove:( she was pretty drunk so it very well could have been her lol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096M7R4A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ceyOAb4RC9V2S

You want a retractable flag pole or something that's not too long/retractable and lightweight. You want the totem to be something recognizable during daylight (bright color, specific shape, etc). You also want it to have some LEDs on it so your friends can find you at night. Make sure you have a switch so you don't waste batteries.

For example, one year at Bonnaroo we used a child's plastic hockey stick that's about 2 ft long and less than a pound in weight. To it, we attached a pink flamingo covered in tinsel. Then, we wrapped it in an ELwire for nighttime. It was very light and I could just hold it above my head if meeting up with friends.

I also have some friends that just used a light-up frisbee.

EDIT: over at r/DIY if you search for Totem, there are some really fancy ones with instructions if you want to go all out!

These are cheap, effective and have worked well for me the last three years: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0015WJQ7A/ref=sxts1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487442753&sr=1

They have a string that you can connect them around the back of your neck so if one falls out it stays tethered to the other.

Unless you wanna pay whatever money it is for showers then i suggest you get one of these bad boys! http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000014865-5-Gallon-Solar-Shower/dp/B0009PUT20/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1451936963&sr=8-3&keywords=camping+shower Partner it with some bio degradable soap or whatever and you can shower at your camp. While it wont be the best it'll definitely help get you clean and feeling fresh.

PLASTIC CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES

$34 and can charge up to 3 phones at a time. Total of around 10 full charges. It has been a life saver at festivals.

This is the Tick Key that I have. I picked mine up at Dicks sporting goods last year before Peach Fest.

Here.

That couch is DOPE! I just ordered this light-up flower crown that I am stoked for! I also got some glow in the dark temp tattoos but I don't think they'll get here in time :(.

If you see this trippy mushroom tapestry at camp, come say hi!

I didn't make a totem, but I had a 14' Portable Flagpole at my campsite.

I got you fam

If you saw a big brown guy with a pikachu beanie rocking out at Skrillex and Kill the Noise, that woulda been me =D I didn't want to be shoving everyone and blocking the view for people so I usually stood at the back or in front of a tree or something at most of the stages :)

I use this pump and a random tub/container for water storage. One gallon makes for a decent shower and the pressure it supplies makes a big difference. See ya in the portal 🌀!

I bought one of these and one of [these

after leaving the grove at 1 am, showers are closed. I'm not going to bed gross

i bought the tent and shower thing on ebay for way cheaper. I assume you do the same.
