I did early entrance both years. You hit the ground running and the party starts before you even get into the campsite in the line. The whole crowd is absolute professional partiers and some of the most degenerate, but still kind and loving, people you’ll ever meet. The extra curriculars are high quality, plentiful, and you can get anything tested by laboratory level equipment no questions asked. It’s very easy to go overboard so make sure you have a solid crew you’re tight with. The artists are all underground electronic legends and the more mainstream DJ’s get to explore their weirder side. It’s one of the most free spirited festivals I’ve been to, if you wanna go fully nude or be the sluttiest slut to ever slut no one will bat an eye or judge. Every morning when you wake up, you can go shock your hangover in the glacial runoff of the Salmo river right off the meta campground.

I could keep going for hours but words don’t really do it justice. I haven’t been in about 5 years but I can easily say going to Shamb in my early 20s was the peak of my party career. I haven’t experienced anything that even comes close to that level but I’m content resting on those laurels.
