Dear readers, I have had some interesting moments camping at music festivals, and from each one I have definitely learned a few harsh lessons. So if you are going to a music festival this year, here are a few of my suggestions of what you should do and what you definitely should not do.

Be sure that you obtain a half decent WATERPROOF tent, not a inexpensive tent from off of Ebay or from the supermarket. Dirt cheap tents do possess a tendency not to become waterproof, and your bargain pop up tent you bought from Woolies all these years ago is not going to safeguard you or your belongings in the occasion of a hailstorm. Try and pitch your tent in an location exactly where there seems to become a very good balance of nutters and boring people today. Too lots of boring folks camping about you will have you and your mates asleep by 9pm, too lots of nutters around you may most likely imply no sleep in any way and possibly all you own obtaining trashed in the course of some drunken antics.

Pack as light as you possibly can, it may be a long walk to the campsite from the car, and a hernia won’t increase your enjoyment from the weekend. Take lots of toilet roll, as festival food can go in nicely but can come back out like your grandma’s lumpy gravy.

Although low cost tents aren’t a very good idea, taking a seriously pricey one isn’t perfect either. Specifically in case you are too lazy to pack it away afterwards and wind up leaving it behind. Should you be going to purchase an high priced tent then do not pitch it up next to a busy walk way. You can end up returning to camp and locating an enormous image of some male genitalia drawn more than it in permanent marker.

Never share a tent with a mate who tends to urinate himself when asleep immediately after several drinks. You will wake up pondering there continues to be a leak inside the tent, when genuinely the leak was from your mates pants.Don’t try something hilarious like urinating on a mates tent as a prank, specially if they may be a bit of a prankster themselves, they may be likely to look for revenge in an even worse way.When you insist on showering, don’t use the on camp showers if they are porta-showers, a lot of people use them as posh porta-loos, pondering the shower makes an ideal bidet.

Magpark – It is worry time when it gets dark out in the open. When it is time to sleep, one yearns for the cozy bed and the safe confines of your home. But out there in the open, there is also the insects, the wind and often the precipitation to contend with. This is when the sleeping bag drives all your anxieties away and you can settle down to a peaceful sleep. Sleeping bag has a pride of place in the list of camping equipments. A sleeping bag is something akin to a folded blanket that has a zipper. It can be rolled or folded, stuffed in a sack and carried in your backpack.

Using the straps or the cords, the sleeping bag can be tightly folded or rolled. It goes easily into your backpack which you can carry around when traveling. Or it might be that you are riding, hiking or trekking. It is the sense of security, comfort and warmth that makes sleeping bag a travel companion. The rectangular sleeping bag is roomier than the mummy shaped sleeping bag. The mummy bag is broad and open at one end and tapers into an enclosed end which is where the leg side is.

It is not possible to fold the mummy bag like the rectangular bag. It has to be rolled up and tied. The mummy bag provides more warmth and protection with its lesser space and sealed leg side. The marmot pinnacle sleeping bag is spacious and ultra light. Synthetic fills and down fills are the usual insulation materials in use in the sleeping bag. While the synthetic fills are better in wet conditions with lower water absorption capacity, it is also heavier. Insulation is better with the synthetic fills. But the down fill bags have a better heat retention capacity.

You need to choose a sleeping bag according to the weather conditions. In wet conditions, a synthetic fill bag is no doubt better as it has a lower water absorption capacity. A sleeping bag is good in both the summer and winter. You can keep the sleeping bag unzipped in summer nights and zipped when it is quite cold. If in extreme cold weather conditions, you will have to go for a sleeping bag that is specially suited to combat the cold. The down fill bags are best suited in dry climate. Keep your budget in mind while choosing the sleeping bag.

It’s always a good option to go camping. Just remember to always bring important things like a marmot pinnacle sleeping bag.
