If my peoples all woulda came and had our tents, we would have had decent spots to camp at. Our other people were at the hotel with our belongings, we only brought stuff that’ll last us all night for the parking lot party. I regret that now. Money wise, it’d be cheap to say fuck paying for parking at this location, I’ll just leave my car in the lot. If I gotta take a hike to go to my car so be it, nothing worse than Hog Rock.

I plan to just park in the lot and walk. I still don’t know if I’m going yet. I wanna go but I don’t know my friend is going to be able and dunno if I wanna go at it alone. But If I go imma camp probably in Alakazam or right around the main gate entrance (where the guys where checking coolers at)

With saying that, I remember walking past but not through Alakazam. I read that campsites are to be 15′ apart but it looked like it was super tight. If anyone was in there lemme know. Just trying to plan what I should and shouldn’t bring. Also this is kinda odd but I read people saying they brought their own portable toilets and privacy tents. I plan to do that after going last year and seeing how nasty the shitters were by the 2nd day. I was wondering if anyone used any before anytime you were camping. The cheapest option is a 5 gallon bucket with a snap on toilet seat and bio bags but I’m am big dude so I don’t know if its sturdy. Im tempted to just buy a foldable commode and get the bio bags as liner. Hey whatever works right lol but seriously any camping advice with that would be appreciated 

I’ve brought one of those bedside toilets for the last two years, and put it inside a privacy tent. I had a regular sized one, but I’m a voluptuous lady, so when I found the “fat people” version, I bought it with the quickness since it was a little more comfy. I got it at a thrift store for $10 (and yes, I scrubbed the hell out of it, but saved like $50 over buying one new). It’s a total life saver when nature calls since it’s clean every time you use it. We put TP, wet wipes, a roll of bags and a string of LED lights inside. And mine has an opaque bucket inside it, so when you are done, you just tie up the bag, and take the whole bucket to the trash can to dump it (so you don’t just have to walk around with a shit bag for everyone to see…unless you want to haha).

I went to one a real long time ago man and it was not  even out side it was a real big place alot of girls and I stuck my hand down there pants when they was over my head on the crowd and man I did not wash my hands for long time I just smelled it  a. lot .I was real hard the hole tume I was there man

So good, dude. It’s gonna be the first thing I do after I find my camp and throw my stuff down.

Oh, and they aren’t just strawberry. They have strawberry, orange and pineapple. You can get one flavor for the smoothie and another for the topping, or both the same flavor.

I plan on making nice with my neighbors. If they smoke weed then imma pack a bowl with them if possible.(weed seems to always bring people together) If they don’t then just introduce myself and whatnot. I mean we do have to have each others backs kinda. If it seems kinda shady then I will move camp if I have to. Hopefully not. I went last year but didn’t camp out. This forum,the reviews and the videos from last year is what made wanna camp this year. Well plus we didn’t get back each day to the gathering till late afternoon and I missed waaaaay to much awesomeness. An online friend of mine might be coming so I plan to camp with his group. I’m not bringing my car in so I can always lock shit up there if need be. Ain’t like i’m gonna be big ballin. If some mofos wanna take my shitter then so be it…i guess lol I do kinda need that just sayin =) Im sure closer to the gathering more people will be planning stuff and if your friends with anyone on here you can always think about setting up shop together. I myself am new out here and not one to invite myself along on others peoples plans (O.P.P) hahahaha. With saying that though if I do end up camping near anyone from the forums I definitely will be a good neighbor. Maybe I should change my name to State Farm lol ok im done acting goofy.

gotcha. have there been many tent related thefts?

There *was talk of a few people’s tents getting rousted but from what I remember they were mostly all towards the top of the hill (ie the Alakazam/front gate area). That area may be convenient but it is NOT inside the grounds proper. You don’t have to have an armband. For all intents anybody could have camped out in the parking lot/Alakazam which also would let them get to the seminars and autograph tents.

You’ll hear many times that you should get to know your neighbors. They aren’t gonna defend yer shit but if they know who’s in the area around THEM then they might think twice about someone rummaging around a neighbors shit.

All the same, I put a little luggage lock on the zippers of my tent. Of course I ended up locking my keys inside… but that’s another story (pin your keys to the inside of your pockets!!!) I plan on bringing a changing/toilet tent and after reading that some people had gotten their shitter… shit on… I plan to lock those up too.

It ain’t rude to be safe.
