As festival season rolls around, it’s a common beginners mistake to show up a music festival equipped with nothing but a flower crown and some granola bars. However, seasoned festival goers know that there’s a lot more preparation that must happen in order to maximize fun. For music festival veterans, the packing process has become a subtle art. At Sasquatch, where you’ll be camping in the sun for 4 days, it’s crucial to have a foolproof checklist to help you navigate the chaos.

It’s pretty much inevitable that at some point during a festival your phone will die and you’ll be separated from your group for a while. However, you can prolong the life of your smartphone with an external battery charger. Check out this one, currently way marked down from its original price.
Why wait in the shower line for hours when you can spritz and go with this handy, travel-sized dry shampoo? Plus it comes with a fresh scent to disguise that no-so-pleasant camping odor.
When your phone dies, what better way to capture the moment with an old school disposable camera? They’re cheap, hardy, and get bonus-points for being waterproof.
Scrub your body, face, and pots with the same all-in-one soap! Dr. Bronner’s is a long time crowd favorite, we like the lavender kind for being moisturizing, organic and cruelty-free.
Another multipurpose favorite, makeup wipes will make a world of difference when attempting to remove dirt, sweat, and makeup.
Earplugs get a bad rep for being dorky, but the season festival goer knows the value of protecting their hearing and getting a good night’s sleep. Bring a big pack and pass them out to meet friends.
An Open Mind
Regardless of how much planning you’ve done leading up the big weekend, remember that it won’t go exactly how you imagined. Be open to spontaneity, meeting new people, and lots of dirt!
Now that you’ve got the supplied needed to survive, throw it all in your bag and have a fun and safe Sasquatch!
