:wave Can anybody suggest the critical needs to fit into a backpack - am camping
A nubie !
Rain gear, shoes that can get wet and a relief pair, head lamp, sunscreen, warm night clothes, layer it, a long sleeve T, A fleece and a beanie.
Sun clothes, layer it, a tank or swimsuit top, a coverup and a light jacket or sweater/ sweatshirt.
It gets cold and hot, wet and dry. Just try to be prepaired for all types of weather. Your swimsiut if you plan to jump in the river. Sunhat…
I love the new light high performance gear that is available now, packs tight and light. :flower
So true - LOVE! Do not forget!
Mikki- You forgot 2 of the most important things… Water bottle and sunscreen!
Bacon, alcohol, and bacon!
Uh, hello… Kitchen sink can easily double for a sun shade AND a beverage container.

skirts are good, leggings can go on under them at night. Scarves are good, they can shade you from the sun, warm your neck or head in the cold. Sunglasses, tank tops and a long-sleeved shirt to put on over it for later.
If you don’t have lotion or sunscreen you can always get it at the medical tent. Water bottle that can clip to the pack is always a good idea.
You can always hit up the free box too if you need more clothes. And apparently Mel and Hot Sugar have enough hats to satisfy the most eclectic tastes.
The first year I went I had been in CO for about 6 weeks, and I took shorts, flip-flops, a bikini, a tube top, some overalls, a horrible sunburn, and a big bottle of tequila. Talk about a newbie! A friend said to me “hey you wanna go to a music festival?” and my answer was “Sure!” and away we went. I didn’t even have a sleeping bag! Not sure how I survived it, but I guess the adrenaline of youth was on my side. :drunk
You’ll be fine, just don’t forget your ticket. :eek
bacon, alcohol, bacon and oh yeah, Ticket!
Nice to see itsRick FINALLY getting excited! :lol
I suggest you pack starting from the top, then go down to your feet. You won’t forget anything that way.
Tent, sleeping bag & liner (for the cold) are a must!
Wide brimmed hat for the daytime sun!
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
Bacon
Perhaps if everyone prepares for cold weather, rain, and snow it won’t . . . Just saying it’s been real dry here. Oh yeah if New Belgium isn’t offering lip stuff you might want some w/ SPF. Ever try Sun Salve from the Super Salve Co. ? It’s hempy.
