Festivals are a whirlwind of music, dance, and camaraderie. But they can also be a bit overwhelming if you’re not prepared. Here are some clever Festival Hacks to make your festival experience as smooth as possible:
1. The Power of Ziploc Bags
Protect Your Phone: Keep your phone safe from dust and water by storing it in a Ziploc bag. You can still use the touchscreen through the bag!
Organize Small Items: Use separate Ziploc bags to organize small items like jewellery, hair ties, and earplugs.
Don’t use plastic willy-nilly though make sure to keep your Ziploc baggies and reuse them either for the next festival or to store other items around the house!
2. DIY Portable Sink
Bring a large water jug with a spout. Fill it with water and voila, you have a portable sink at your campsite. It’s perfect for washing hands or brushing teeth.
3. Pre-made Meals
Prepare and freeze meals ahead of time. They’ll act as additional ice packs for your cooler, and when they thaw, you’ll have ready-to-eat meals. If you make our In-Ground Cooler you can use these to keep your drinks cool, and have means ready to go!
4. The Ultimate Shoe Hack
Tie a small, bright-coloured fabric to your shoes. If you take them off while you’re dancing, the fabric will make them easy to spot.
5. Easy Tent Setup
Take a screenshot of your tent’s setup instructions. This way, you won’t have to worry about losing the instruction manual. Develop a tent assembly routine particular to your tent so setup, over time becomes super easy!
6. Instant Lantern
Strap a headlamp to a clear jug or large clear bottle of water, just remove the labels. The light will diffuse through the water, creating an instant lantern that illuminates your whole tent.
7. The Power of Microfiber Towels
Microfiber towels are lightweight, super absorbent, and quick-drying. They’re perfect for festivals where you need to save space and dry off quickly.
Remember, festivals are all about having fun and making memories. With these clever Festival hacks, you’ll be able to focus on the music and the experience, rather than worrying about logistics. Enjoy the festival!
