@ben_uk , have you checked out these guys? https://www.facebook.com/WhoopWhoopWeekend Maybe you could hook up with them for their “Whoop Whoop Weekend” coming very soon (April 17th, I think) in the UK. Some there have probably gone to the Gathering and may be able to help with some of the details of getting into the US and all that.

And if there are people that you surround yourself with that condone decisions similar to the ones that got you locked up, get the fuck away from those people! You don’t wanna go back to jail, man.

The only other Gathering I’ve been to is the one in ’06 (I think). The one where every fucking thing was flooded. I’m going back this year along with five or six people, all but one of which, has never been. Any one have anything I should know about other than the obvious stuff like bring extra socks, extra cash, smokes, condoms and all that? I know the last time I went I was WAY under prepared but I don’t know how much it’s changed since I’ve been there.

06′ was Brutal, isaved empty ice bags everyday to strap over my feet so the mud and water wouldnt give me trench foot lol. It was still a good year but living as a swamp ninja wasnt easy. (Fuck the hill!) The new grounds is so close to civilization (gas stations and all that) so as long as you bring enough cash and proper shelter, its easy living. Just bring good vibes, have good times and all will be str8.

bring extra socks, extra cash, smokes, and condoms, if you think you have a prayer of gettin laid.
and trash bags. these things are great, because when you have trash, you can put it inside of them, and it keeps the trash from getting all over the fuckin place. really great.
water. chow. basic first aid. lots of lighters. wet wipes. tp. soap, towel, shower shoes. flashlight. batteries.
serviceable shoes, most of the pathways were for shit.
whatever accommodations you cant live without, but dont run away with it. i sleep in the car. or on a cot, or a roll on the ground, but mostly the car. keeps me from sleeping long stretches, and missing tons of shit. cramped as fuck, though.
remember to multiply the list times five or six. just cuz someone says theyre bringin whatever, doesnt mean they know how much whatever they need to bring.
awfully paranoid, arent you?

I had a bag of 20+ budget cheap-ass lighters in my car… And one Bic in my pocket… Didn’t dig into the bag once lol.
Heh, NoEmotion… Him hanging at the campsite and then in the PTS stage, that was a good time. Hope to get more artists to swing by and hang out this year.
Good call, krunk – I wouldn’t have thought to suggest that, but you’re absolutely right. I’d forgotten the paths were pretty rough.
EDIT: Psyral… Now that I think back on it… I believe every time you sat down at our site, we wound up with an extra lighter on the table later on. I think our site ate your lighters.

^ You’re going again this year?? YAY! Are you bringing Boxy?
And my absolutely required item is rubber gloves to use when you go in port-a-potties. There aren’t any sinks, and going all the way to the shower building to wash your hands ain’t happening. Just put on some gloves, do your thing, and your hands come out relatively clean. Relatively. Hand sanitizer is a must either way.
Also, bring something high in vitamin C to eat or drink, so you can have a good shot at avoiding Gathering Flu. I bring bottles of grape juice and Hi-C fruit punch, and drink like 500% of my daily vitamin C recommendation each day.
Sunblock, definitely. Liquor and mixers. A camera. Snacks that don’t need refrigeration or cooking (pop-top chili/ravioli/Spaghetti-Os kind of stuff that can be eaten from the can…tuna kits, mini donuts, energy bars, beef jerky, oranges, chips and salsa, PB&J fixins, etc).

Well damn, thanks ya’ll. I’m writing a lot of this shit down so I don’t space that I ever asked and was responded too. The rubber gloves and trash bags are some shit that I would never think of that makes perfect sense. I’m not trying to get laid there but I’d feel safer having some love gloves (calling them love gloves. Reason #314 why I don’t expect to get laid) around just in case. Also those fuckers are convenient in a pinch if you need to keep your phone/smokes safe.
And yeah, fuck the hill! I still remissness with a few of my people that were there with me about that shit. I didn’t sleep for four damned days and didn’t have a voice for a week but I made sure that everyone around me, at all times, knew my stance on people that took the high ground.
