Supplies for Your Festival Checklist

Festivals are something that brings tens of thousands of people together in one area in all sorts of places around the world every year. And usually, they’re events that create an atmosphere unlike anything else. People are happy, positive, excited to see their favorite bands, and generally adventurous during their stay at the festival.

Some festivals even have campgrounds outside of the festival grounds to create an unforgettable experience while also reducing lodging costs for attendees who may have already spent hundreds of dollars on the multi-day ticket itself.

And to me, that’s the best part: camping among thousands of other attendees who are there for the same reason as you.

One little known secret, however, is to take packaging supplies to whatever festival you’re camping out at. And we want to let you in on that secret and which supplies are the handiest when setting up your camp or just using the items as you party and relax during the festival’s duration.

Packaging tape.

Whether you’re using this to keep canopy tents secured to one another or trying to make a sign that’s attached to a part of your campsite (like vehicle or flag), tape comes in quite a bit of handy. Besides, you’ll never know when you could need tape in a pinch.

Clamps.

These are amazing for connecting canvas sheets to an EZ up tent to allow for proper air flow while still giving your site some shade and privacy. Additionally, they can clamp onto parts of your vehicle if you’re wanting to raise a camp flag. Just as well, they can hold things down to your table when cooking or grilling in the off chance that a breeze is becoming pesky and blowing things off the table.

Boxes.

You may be surprised to see this on the list, but cardboard boxes are so useful in campsites. You can use them for storage. You can break them down to use as kindling. You can even break them down and line them up on the grass as a makeshift mat to keep your feet off of itchy grass or weeds. Just make sure that you get boxes out of the way when rain happens to hit unless you’re keen on picking up wet cardboard and never being able to use it again.

No matter which festival you end up going to this year, make sure to put these different packaging supplies on your list of things to take because they are extremely useful and versatile.

Packing Tips for Travelling

Packing too much or too little while you plan for a two week travelling doesn’t usually end up well. When you pack too much, you create a liability for yourself to carry extra luggage anywhere you go. And if you are convinced about packing very few items in order to make the travelling convenient, you might forget to pack important things such as your important travelling documents or your medicines. Both these approaches need to be avoided if you want to avoid any kind of frustration during your stay far away from home or country.

Packing clothes

If you are going out on a hiking trip, you don’t need sophisticated clothes. But you need a good number of clothes that would easily fit in the backpack. The best consideration here is to roll the clothes rather than packing them. Some of the backpacks come with the storage capacity that can be extended with the help of specifically featured zipper.

If you are going out on a business trip, you can’t roll your clothes because that will kill sophistication in your costly dresses. Hence, folding and that too very carefully is the only option you are left with. Try downsizing if you don’t want to carry huge volume. Keep the only clothes that you think can suffice throughout your trip.

Moving to a cottage for a month

Moving to a cottage located at a distant part of the country is a mini version of moving to a new house. Hence, you will need to make proper living arrangements in order to spend your time at that place without any difficulty. You might also realize here that it’s not the clothes only that you need. You need to take a lot of things along with you to that place in order to make your stay convenient. Hence, this scenario might involve use of shipping boxes and packaging supplies for the packing of household items that you might need there. However, packing dresses and clothes in the packaging boxes might not be a good idea. Large luggage bags and suitcases should be used for packing and containing considerable amount of clothes.

Packing for air traveling

Packing too much is a bad idea, even if you think of it as necessary, if you are going to travel by air. Usually a luggage bag and a backpack should be enough for a person. Avoid adding any kind of gel or liquid in the luggage. Upon the breaking of bottle, everything in the luggage will be ruined. You can pack these items separately in checked luggage.

Read the air service rules regarding the size and weight of the luggage you may carry. Some of the airlines are charging even for the checked luggage.

Moreover, locking the checked luggage can bring unnecessary trouble as security staff members select these kinds of bags for random screening, where the security personnel may even break the lock to check the content inside.
