Certified Rave Dad
One thing people tend to forget about festivals is being prepared. I get it—everyone’s hyped for the music and the vibes, but trust me, when you’re scrambling last minute, it can get stressful really quick. And that stress? That can be the enemy of a good time. These packing lists are like a festival cheat sheet. Stick to ‘em, and you’ll have everything you need, and you’ll have it when you need it. It’s all about having the best time without the headaches. Dad’s advice: Pack Smart, Rave Harder.
These packing lists? They’ve got pretty much everything you could need—and probably some stuff you didn’t even know you’d need. By going through them, you’ll make sure you’re ready for whatever the night throws at you. Now, usually, you build your own packing list based on what you forgot last time, but guess what? I’ve already made all those mistakes for you! Afteryears of festivals, I’ve learned the hard way what’s essential, helpful, and dead weight, so you don’t have to!
These lists are very customizable! I don’t expect you to pack everything on them every time—that’d be overkill. Some of the items are just backups, so you can skip a few if you've got them covered with something else. Also, things like the weather, how long you’re staying, what you plan to wear, and even the size of your crew can all change what you’ll need. Think of these lists as a guide, not a rulebook and adapt them to your situation.
Every event’s got its own vibe, right? That’s why there are lists for everything (we’ll, mostly everything) — from multi-day festivals to single-night special events. Each list is named and there is an added quick description to help you figure out which ones match your plans, but hey, feel free to mix and match! At the end of the day, these lists are just guides. Use whichever ones work for you, and tweak ‘em however you like. It’s all about making sure you’re set fora good time!
Most of these lists? Yep, you can print them! And better yet, you can customize them before you hit print. So, you get the perfect packing list with everything you need and none of the stuff you don’t. It’s your perfect festival checklist, totally tailored to you.
