Festival survival bags

[LouLou198]

My daughter is going to a music festival over the summer. I have got a couple of cotton drawstring bags and want to make her and a friend a "survival kit" as a gift. I have never been to a festival, so could do with some inspiration as to what to put in them please. So far I have wipes, hand gel, dry shampoo, hair bobbles, tissues. Thanks!

Paracetamol, plasters perhaps.

Painkillers. Suncream.

Small torches. Make up wipes. Small mirror.

Plasters, pain killers, some energy snacks like energy balls,

Little torches
Little battery powered fans
Spare batteries
Ear plugs
Eye masks

Oh and lip balm. I forgot mine last year, big mistake!

Tiger balm, put it under your nose you can't smell the toilets

Power bank chargers

Silver foil blanket. Can be used for many things.

Fold up plastic poncho
Spare socks
Power bank and cable for phone
Fold up plastic mat for sitting on (about the size of an A4 and one of my favourite things)

Berocca
Dry shampoo
A she wee
Paracetamol
Hand gel

I’ve just come back from 3rd Glastonbury. Things that made it all a bit easier:

• Zinc oxide tape / compeeds for blistering feet
• earplugs and eye mask for bedtime
• lip balm and eye drops for dry dusty conditions
• a little liquid soap dispenser on a carabiner (hang from bumbag for quick soap access when washing hands at toilet stations).
• hear me out on this one - a female pee pot/urinal (I have an adult sized kiddiwhizz, highly recommend). Camping anywhere near the loos is a bad idea as they get ripe as the days pass and it’s the most annoying trek to make after a night of drinking when your busting for a wee and just need to go quickly.
• a hat if it’s sunny
• a small washing up bowl, 2-in-1 shampoo, a flannel and some collapsible water containers to keep around camp. Nothing like a proper wash - face, pits, bits and feet! Bliss! I never bother with wet wipes.

Hope that helps! :)

Was thinking the same

More snacks - like those oat bar or breakfast bars you can get.

Headtorch
Any allergy pills
Potentially a tube of sports electrolyte tabs to drop into a bottle of water

Some great ideas, thank you! I will add to my list.

Ambient snacks eg
Pepperami
Cheese triangles
Crackers
Nuts
Cereal bars
Haribo

Safety pins, a couple of cable ties and some electrical tape

Antihistamines
Body spray

Would second the small bowl, water carrier and nice soap / shower gel to have a wash I the tent. Brilliant way to feel human.
Hand sanitiser.
Sun screen.
Painkillers.

Sanitary towels / tampons - so annoying to need these and have to find the shop.
High energy snacks.
Fleece blanket.
Clothes pegs and string / washing line. Weigh nothing - so handy.
Clean socks and underwear - new cheap ones . Again excellent easy comfort. 😊

Sorry wash in the tent ⛺️

@Abondanza I'm intrigued by the cable ties and electrical tape! What have you used them for?
Thanks everyone I am off to get everything tomorrow.

Fixing random stuff! Cable ties can fix a bag if the hardware breaks. Electrical tape also for random repairs eg if a tent pole snaps long ways you can make do for the weekend, obviously gaffer tape is better but quite bulky.

Little pots of glitter and glitter glue
