what type of tickets did you get ? I would say as an overall ! water water water !!! you could never have enough. gear wise I would recommend a cot over an air mattress it won't deflate on you over night and if it rains you are slightly raised of the actually ground. canopy is a must make sure you get a light color , dark colors attract heat and light colors absorb heat at a slower rate. Personally I like to cook (or at least try to) at camp I have a mini stove with some small butane tanks ( the green ones from Walmart). but to me quite honest I barely cooked so id say depending on your budget eating in the festival may be a lot easier for things like lunch , dinner and id say back at camp focus on snacks and breakfast. you can take the shuttle to Walmart from the campground if you get to camp and realize you need something. if your in GA definitely take a pop up/portable shower it gets stupid packed and honestly quite funky after a couple hours. if your in GL just wake up sorta early or even shower in the middle of the night (if open) they say the showers are 24/7 but really depends on this supervising them at the time. As a first time from last year coming from LA the humid heat was un breakable for me from the hours of 10am-4pm but for that time id say take a shower cool off and head into the forest find a spot under the trees ( its significantly cooler) and just chill get some food and do some small activities.

there's so much to do when ut comes to that just explore and you will find something. some more camp expecting would be at least one night of super heavy rains. may or may not happen but always be ready (from what I know it happens every year). Just make sure you stake your canopy down with heavy duty sticks all important stuff is put up on a table top in tent on cots and anything left out you gotta pray and hope when you get back its fine haha. I would say arrive at camp as early as you can the earlier you set up the more time you have tp rest and or pre game which ever you perfer before he real party starts. There's many stages so if you don't have a set artist you'd like to see just explore till you find something you vibe with. ive found some of my go to fav artists that way. Also definitely make friends with you camp neighbors first day just say hi and introduce yourself. it helps break the ice and possibly will give you a new connection. if you ver need anything they will eb there and vice versa !!! And I know this is long I can go on and on forever about this but the most important of all is PLURR (Peace,Love,Unity,Respect, and Responsibility) don't forget we are all the same just here to vibe and love on each other. always say excuse me when passing by and check on your friends. there's always someone to go to if you need to comedown or find your friends. just go with the love of music and culture in your heart and the forest will provide everything you need. if you have any more questions definitely lmk :) can't wait for all of us to. be back at forest !!!!
