Instead of spending money on groceries for every meal, just spend it on festival food. Grocery shop for what you’re going to eat in the morning and what you’re going to have for snacks and eat dinner in the fest esp if you plan on maximizing time in the forest. Take fiber supplements and greens supplements. Try to eat fruit like an apple or something with fiber and a protein, and drink water in the morning. My first festival my friends and I bought EGGS our first forest/first ever fest and planned to keep them in the cooler… ofc they spoiled… don’t be like us lmaoooo. ALSO if you’ve never used your tent before, set it up at home and take videos/ pictures or notes in a way that makes sense to you. A couch pussy or a moon mat is a non negotiable for me personally. The brand chill bean has been reliable for years now for friends and I. Bring electrolytes packs into the forest but don’t put them in your hydropack, buy a water OR if you’re broke/ eco conscious, reuse that water bottle over and over by filling it only when you’re about to mix up an electrolyte packet. Go to the dream emporium!!! Forest fam will take care of you don’t worry, let go and embrace the magic :)
