On the reduction of damage

Regardless of your personal habits, the use of drugs can be prevalent in the festivals. It is important to know the position of the medical tents, pay attention to what surrounds you and look for your teammates participating in the Festival in the way you would like you to look for you.
I highly recommend being trained in the administration of Naloxone (Narcan). It prevents opiate overdose and it is easy to obtain training and medicine itself cheap. I took mine Endoverdose Online. It took half an hour and costs $ 5. I compared it to know the RCP or suffocating the rescue; I hope you never have to use it, but it’s really nice to have knowledge for any eventuality.
I also recommend examining the anti -drug test kits. You can get them from Castello Police AND Dancesafe. The test strips of the Fenanil are convenient and it takes little time to test any substance that can be around. Some festivals have supplier curtains that will test substances with the amnesty. It doesn’t hurt to be prepared.
Finally, I recommend it Sign up for notices from Bunkbot when applicable. It is an emergency alert system that sends people if they find dangerous substances. It adds another level of damage reduction and helps you be more notice when necessary.
Remain together
Since the telephone service can be unpredictable to the festivals and not everyone has a smartwatch, the Buddy system is precious. My group joins when possible and if someone has to separate, they ensure that someone in the system knows where he is going. We also designate a meeting place, both inside the land of the festival and outside the doors, in the event of emergencies. Pay attention to the surrounding environment and not be afraid to contact volunteers or employees of the Festival if you need assistance.
Unfortunately, the pickpocket occurs. Make sure to set up the protection of stolen devices on the compatible iPhone or Android phone. You may also set some bluetooth trackers for your wallet, bag or other needs. Most main festivals have a dedicated lost program. Review the details before you arrive so that you are familiar if necessary.
Only for fun

Of course, it’s nice to be prepared with the essential elements. But in the end, the festivals concern fun. Here is a list of festivals accessories that you may have available exclusively to the joy of them.
Making Kandi kit for $ 20: Trading Bracelets in relief is a distinctive sign of electronic music, but thanks to the tour of the Taylor Swift eras, more musical genres are being combined. Any pearl will work, but I highly recommend it Elastic elastic elastic ($ 17): Economic things fall too easily.
Prope Flow: There are tons of toys that some dancers like to use. I’m partial to Pixel Whip fibers ($ 85)But the FlowToys Podpoi ($ 135) are another popular choice. You can also get levitant chopsticks AND illuminated staff. These are super funny with which to dance (and entertain your companions).
Small gifts: Small ducks. Germ for your hair. Squishy animals. Festivals often have a gift culture. It is not expected, but it can be nice to have something to pass to the people you meet. Take into consideration the possibility of bringing some costume jewelery with you: you may even make a new friend or seven.
A night light for $ 19: If you are at a camping party, moving in the dark can be insidious. And sometimes you just want to tease the cooling device without shining a torch around. I like this night light because it provides a delicate glow, very much to see but not so bright as to wake up everyone nearby.
A camping towel for $ 16: Sometimes it rains outside. Sometimes you accidentally pour an entire Beatbox into your tent. Whatever the case, a camping towel is useful. They are super absorbent and dry quickly.
Funny clothes: When it comes to festival clothing, you can be bold or practical as wishes. Do not sacrifice comfort in the name of fashion! But if you are looking for funny dresses to wear, I recommend you take a look Iheartraves AND Rave Wonderland. These are Edm adjacent, but they will work for everything, from Bonnaroo to Burning Man a Edc. The merch of your favorite artists is probably also a good starting point. And in case of doubt, you can always accessoria, they recommend a bucket oa Pashmina style shawls To make your dress a little more adventurous.
A bandana for $ 14: We have many feelings on the importance of a multipurpose cloth. Music festivals are often dusty and dirty. A bandana works like a face cover, a sweat absorber, a quick place to sit and a simple way to dry the beverages poured. Put some in your bag and you will be better prepared.
I have tested this equipment by attending many, many music festivals over several years. (This year, the roster has or will include Wakaan, Secret Dreams, Infradsund, Infradsund Equinox, Force Fields and a show in the caves; I also participated in heavy batteries such as lost lands and electrical forests in the past.) I used everything in this guide dozens of times. This is what I pack the suitcases every time I frequent and text always new tools to evaluate whether or not it is worth the space it occupies (or the mental energy it requires).
