Electric Forest: Be Prepared, Be Excellent

(Originally published at ElectroJams.com on June 9 2014)

Going to a music festival is not as simple as hopping in a car and driving to the venue. Especially in the case of Electric Forest, spanning four long days with camping in a remote location, meaning you have to bring everything you’ll need when you’re awake, sleeping, dancing and quite a bit of walking.

I started to put together a post…

make food checklists - plenty of water, by the gallons!!, pre made food you make you can keep cold so it won’t go bad, pre packaged food, foods that will give you energy! fruits and such to keep you going in the hot summer sun 

make camping gear checklists - tent, gazebo, grill, grill equipment, air mattress, sleeping bag, etc 

clothing checklists - extra undies and extra t-shirts and dresses, festie clothes, shit you don’t mind getting ruined. 

if you are going to do drugs, TEST YOUR DRUGS - i cannot emphasize this enough. don’t you dare take “the most fire molly” from some stranger, it is most likely bath salts. bunk police sells test kits, they’ll most likely be walking around and selling them at EF, $20, worth it, get one, will last you multiple fests.
