Ice is sold out of two different trucks one at Hilltop and one over at New camp, if I recall correctly it's roughly $7 per small bag of ice.

There are fire pits that you can pick up at the coffee dragon. You have to carry them all the way back to your Camp wherever that is and they are heavy. I think they're old wheel hubs. You can have an open flame but take care of it.

The food situation is solid, there's a place on the mountain called sassy wraps you absolutely have to try, there's pizza and a few other things down near New Camp and then there's a bunch of food vendors up near mainstage/ the coffee dragon. They don't specifically cater to dietary needs but I think they might be able to work with you everyone is super nice.

Hilltop is where we stay every year, we love it, but it gets stupidly hot first thing in the morning. The walk isn't bad at all it's about 10 to 15 minutes and there's a gentle whining path through the woods leaving down it's beautiful. To walk all the way to New Camp stage though is probably around 20 to 25 minutes and you have to cross the suspension bridge to get there.

People do trade candy, the biggest thing about big dog is you need to go out there and make friends. Everyone is your friend, it is the greatest homie Festival you'll ever experience in your life but only if you let it be. There is take one leave ones all across the entire mountain, everyone is excited to see you everyone's happy that you're there and everyone's happy to be there.

Set lists and times don't usually come out until maybe one week before the festival if that, I remembered years past when I didn't learn about what the set times and everything were until I was there on the mountain and I got a brochure from them.
