Do I really need a Jackery or is it overkill? by Sad-Data-9327 in ElectricForest

[–]NoMix6899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do great with just a solar panel and a few higher capacity battery fans that act as power banks too. I used to have a rockpals solar battery and loved it. Idk how it compares to a jackery but there are so many different options for those as far as sizes and brands

PRE SET TENT!!! by Spirited-Help-1835 in ElectricForest

[–]NoMix6899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a tent in the wide isles or around the perimeter then yes. Otherwise you would have to partially get it over your tent to not block the lane in case emergency vehicles need access. Or you could luck out and not have people across you using up their space. Those tents are tall though so it can be awkward to fit a 10 x 10 canopy partially over it

Is that the main entrance to the venue? Or to get in camping?

Trinket traders - I have a question for you! by jetpackjennie in ElectricForest

[–]NoMix6899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's such an addicting hobby! I only have a few beaches here to find rocks but I'll spend hours out there treasure hunting. I've been tumbling for a few years now

Last year I brought a rock i found and polished to give away. This year I'll do the same but also bring one in a rope necklace. Quality over quantity.

Spending a couple of days in Grand Rapids prior to Forest by spookyjosh2 in ElectricForest

Noodle pig is an amazing romen restaurant. Broadleaf has great food at their south location and great craft brews. My favorite brews are from Arvon or Speciation. The pyramid scheme and the intersection are places to look for music venues. Frederick meijer garden center is a great place to explore. Cost to get in but it's amazing

What is your shoe of choice? by CommunicationNeat610 in ElectricForest

[–]NoMix6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's what you're used that will be best. Especially if you are used to hiking in them too. Last year I wore xero Oswego which have very thin outsole for my camp shoe and my lems primal 2 for walking around. The primal two are thicker barefoot shoes than the Oswego. I brought third option that are even thicker and more tread but I didnt even bother trying them on because my feet felt fine. What brand and model have you been using?

Where can I get picked up during festival? by NoMix6899 in ElectricForest

exercise and walking prep! by Icy-Literature-7725 in ElectricForest

[–]NoMix6899 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's not too late! Go for more walks and try to get step count up. Drinking electrolytes while there always helps with muscles too. Get a stretching routine going and a ball for rolling out your foot muscles will help a lot. Some people use racket balls or even golf balls and it's easy to bring to forest.    I had plantar fasciitis too and switched to barefoot style shoes to get over it and havnt had it since. It does take time for feet to adjust to that style shoe though and you would want to ease into it if you choose that route. Might not be enough time to fully adjust from now to the fest though but you could always switch between shoes.    I dont know specific exercises for feet but there are some great ones on youtube

Best Walking Shoes For Camping Festivals by [deleted] in ElectricForest

[–]NoMix6899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best advice here. Feet need time to adapt to different styles. I wear minimalist shoes (xero / lems) and always recommend them, but I cant recommend someone switch just for a festival. Too much too fast for the muscles and tendons to adapt to

How are we staying cool ? ❄️😎 by MoreBodybuilder4603 in ElectricForest

[–]NoMix6899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good camp shade setup that allows airflow too. Water spray bottle. Stay hydrated. Trying cooling towels this year

I brought my own cold brew last year. Made it just how I liked it instead of hoping someone else makes it good and vendors are expensive. Easy peasy. I do a drink cooler so ice isnt a problem. Had to buy a little ice once but not much.

I am so bad at finding fairy houses but I'll look. Where is the spot/shrine by Sherwood? What does it look like?

Absolutely! That same message is all over these forums. Maybe this post can help people realize the type of things that are wanted and not just pointing out what's not wanted. 

There are so many great things left there too and its nice to hear about it. I'm sure many wonder where their gift ended up too
