Last year we put ice down our bras and kept soaking our tees at the water stations and pit them back on, game changer! I've also ordered an emergency foil blanket for night and the same in a poncho in case it's raining bad
Some of my Luxury how to camp items Sleeping - Fox Camolite R3 Bedchair (if you know you know) Coolbox - Icey Tek 25L (pre cool) day before will be cold when you get home, amazing bit of kit Tent - Swedish Canvas Storm tent, will with stand any weather Battery pack Rebar tent pegs, they don't bend Petzl head torch Chair - fox fishing chair, better than anything a camp shop will sell Wind break, extra privacy Van, camping game changer if all else fails jump in the van, sleep in the back, rip only Weber bbq, smokey joe, awesome travel bbq (learn how to use it though) Ikea bags - always handy Battery lantern - dewalt 18v site light
a tip we've done the last few festivals is bring plastic shoe covers. So if its raining and you need to grab something from your tent you can put a cover over your boots/wellies and be able to walk freely in your tent rather than dragging mud in or having to faff around getting boots/wellies off and then back on again. GAME CHANGER!
If you are using access camp showers, bring flip flops. Also ideal for late night pee runs. Suncream and watch the heat and sun, many meds can make you more susceptible to heat stroke and as a ginger nothing is more of a mood killer at the end of the night sat nearly crying because you feel like a radiator thats been dipped in acid after the sun has made you crispy. Tarp shelters with poles, basically a light weight gazebo that you can change the shape of and has a smaller foot print.
Safe to say I’m prepared for download I just need to pack my personal things likes clothes toothpaste and stuff like that. This will be my second year going to download last year was amazing I don’t think this year will top it for me as I liked a lot more bands last year
Torches! Take a little one with you to the arena. Helps prevent falling over those tight tent lines when you're finding your way through after the show
It was sooooo hot last year. Plenty of water is a must! Looks like it won’t be as hot this year And yeah like others have said - don’t take your phone. Be completely in the moment. Don’t be one of those dickheads that films everything but doesn’t actually take in the moment. Be present!
As TPD TV say, Leave no trace 😊

Bring a tarp, you've then got a way to extend your tent or it can be a cover for your tent if it rains (if your tent isn't too waterproof)
on the dehydration thing, most people flake not due to lack of water but by not eating, just drinking water you will desalinate
Do. Rock up, rock out.
Do. Leave your phone/device at home.
Do. Stay hydrated, water not alcohol.
Rock up, Rock out - love it

Shein bags for clothes are great for keeping organised and dry!
Yes good shout!
If you have some of those knocking about that’s practically the same as the bags you can buy from Amazon

Good shout! Get a small enough one to not take up too much space in the ol’ bum bag
Thank you for your video. Can you take your own alcohol into the arena from the camp site? First time going this year ✌️
You can only take a sealed 500ml bottle of water or soft drink into the arena… or… be creative
Jacket potato joke made me laugh😂
Stupid question, but what does crowd kill mean?
Where did you buy the frozen cocktails from?
I got these from Heron, but pretty sure I saw them in Tesco the other day too
@@SMTV__ Lovely thank you!!
New subby here you legend - see you there 🎉
Hell yeah!
After the heat last year, I bought a camelbak!
Im really upset that im not going to Download this year, but im gonna watch the video anyway

Can't believe it STILL says Bad Omens are playing on the website poster
such a terribly run website
I’d be worrying about the 100,000 T-shirts they’ve got with them still on 😄
How can you not litter, when all trash bins became trash mountains last year!
Thats a good point, but even leaving a full bin bag by the bins they will get collected when they get emptied (eventually!")
poo in a shoe.
