Festival Camping Checklist To Share

[The Name is Slick]

OK people. Here is a checklist of everything I could think of to pack. Hope you find it useful. It's pretty thorough -3 pages. You need microsoft word to open it.

And here is a checklist for your trip to grocery store before you leave.

[TeamB]

This is a GREAT checklist folks! It's extremely thorough and would be quite handy to have, especially if you've got a limited amount of time to get all your stuff together.

We don't call this guy Slick for nothing... 8)

Hangover Pills

dude! I didn't know these existed! hook me up!

[The Name is Slick]

There's a bunch on the market. Chaser is one that you can find at Walgreens. I don't know if they actually work. They kind of remind of diet pills or something, but I have friends that swear by them.

[TreyGordon]

yea, I was trying to be funny.

I've tried that chaser ****. I think it's all in your mind.

there is no escaping a hangover.

[Adam K]

I dont think its the best idea to take pills with beer or hard licquor, so if u dont wont a hang over just drink water after your done drinking.

[spauldazzio]

Thanks for the list.

TICKETS!!!
dont forget em.
Kans-ass is far far away from Cincinnati.

[SaraJuana]

awesome list, so thorough!!!! It even includes astroglide!!! I bookmarked it for the future.

As for pill-less hangover med, I have a infusion of redclover I use. Bout 5-10 drops before drinking does the trick. Ironically, I infused it with everclear :wink:

[kinderkitti]

Thanks for the list slick.
For me, lots of protein helps prevent and cure hangover. I'm not big meateater but if I drink, bring on the chicken or the tuna salad or the catfish or the burgers! Works wonders.

[AnnaAllyn]

:cry: I can't see the list because I don't have microsoft word. And I would love to see it because it could be said that I have OCD when it comes to making lists. I have my standard camping list but want to see if there is anything I forgot. Anybody care to cut and paste and e-mail me? It would be much appreaciated! AnnaAllyn@yahoo.com
thankyou guys!

[PolyOntology]

Thanks for the list Slick...now I don't have to make one myself!

[ultimateguy4]

:lol: Slick Rick or My name is Mud or whoever you are,

[spauldazzio]

*****BUMP*******

Print it and keep it handy.

[SaraJuana]

BEAUTIFUL! Did you take this picture last year? Adds to what Tnkerbellup calls Waka-itis!

[spauldazzio]

No I didn't take that pic, but hope to take many like it this year.

I went to google images and typed in WAKARUSA.

it popped up, so I shared.

I love google image.
For instance if you were to type in something crazy like say:

JABBERWOCKY

You could come up with this image:

[digitidog]

from memory :

Twas brillig and the slithy tothes did guile and gimble in the wabe . . .


Great List - btw!!!!

[EZwider]

Great list. Especially the spare car keys.....losing them happens to the best of us. I suggest making sure at least someone else in your car has their own copy too. But thanks for the list!

[ocomik]

Ditto to the excellent list as well, slick!

Do you think you could get to work on creating a pocket schedule in pdf format for the festival? :lol:

Thanks again... You saved me quite a bit of work.

[ocomik]

Just getting ready to get some gear together and needed access to the list. So -BuMp - da - BuMp BuMp

BTW how's the pocket schedule coming along?

[ajones6]

I just want you to know that I will actually use this checklist when packing for waka. Thank you so much- I was stressin about making one myself. :D

[The Name is Slick]

Do you think you could get to work on creating a pocket schedule in pdf format for the festival?

ocomik- Funny, that is something I would probably enjoy doing. But I?ll pass on that project since last year at the gates they gave us a small booklet with the stage schedule on it.


I just want you to know that I will actually use this checklist when packing for waka. Thank you so much- I was stressin about making one myself.

Ajones ? Glad to help....BTW when is that hula decorating activity going on? I?ve got some new juggling clubs that I need to decorate, if that is OK.

[SaraJuana]

Just wanted to share how awesome these lists are! They have really helped with my sanity. We leave tomorrow (yikes) so they will really be put to use tonite. I have shared the lists with a ton of non-forum members that are going as well. They all have been so appreciative, especially the ones that are parents. Just wanted to extend that thanks over to you, Slick!

As for decorating your juggling clubs, come on over! I have scheduled the decorating as one of the 1st activities, Fri around 10am-ish. If you come after that, you can use whatever is left over. But we have some pretty cool tape that has been donated, so I recommend to come as early as possible. I would love to see you hoop and juggle at the same time!

Sorry, did not mean to walk on ajones6's toes. She doesnt have the schedule yet. The schedule is taped to her hoops in my garage.

[tripsonic]

I printed the list for every member of my group. Very useful!!

Many thanks....

[okienamedhef]

the pcs i have access to don't want to show me these lists, and i would really like a copy of it/them. is it possible for anyone to send them to me in an email, maybe in a little more primitive format?? i would appreciate it greatly....

hef, okienamedhef@yahoo.com

[SaraJuana]

theres a pdf format too that slick posted, can you open that? If not let me know, I will email you the list.

[tnkrbellup]

I got the chills reading about lists & schedules & all that crud!!! My arms have goosebumps! I love the list too!

SaraJ....I can't wait to see your hoops & kids tent & my home away from home & the naked, wood-nymph frolicking & the mud-maidens & rum & Blvd. brew & being the dirty girls I believe we are!!!

WAKA-ITIS!
And now I also have WAKA in my pants!!!!!

[SaraJuana]

Tink, are you gonna drive in to the shows on Tues/ Weds since your only 20 minutes from Lawrence?

BTW-what is zippy's?

[tnkrbellup]

Perhaps Wednesday.....depends on how I'm feeling after work (I've been having big headaches all weekend) & if I'm done packing! Where are you guys going Wednesday night? Where are you staying? What time are you setting up camp Thursday? Email me with any particulars you may know already, please :wink: .

I love the word zippy....as in \"I'm gonna hear some zippy-ass music Thursday!!!!\" When I went to Texas last fall, I came across a little hamburger place in Ft. Worth called \"Zippy's\". I had to have a picture! I'm going to enlarge it & frame it for our computer/craft room :D . I was pretty cranked when I saw it (I'm easily amused), but the damn place didn't have t-shirts. That bites!!!

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!! I can't stand 2 more days of this! I need WAKA-meds now!

[The Name is Slick]

Went camping last weekend and thought of a couple more things I'm bringing.

Headlamp. Those things are friggin sweet. My friends had one last weedend and I went and bought one this morning. So much easier at night when you can use both hands...especially useful when you're trying to load things :wink: :)

Clear fingernail polish in case them chiggers do get me.

[SaraJuana]

I got one this weekend too! I can change mine to a red, which is sweet! Explain the clear nailpolish though? How does that work?

[ocomik]

Chiggars bore in the skin and the nail polish is supposed to seal their entrance (air hole) so they cannot breath.

My mother lathered it all over us as kids, which might explain the tumors. It may just be an old wives tale.

[The Name is Slick]

The clear finger nail polish cuts off the air too the bite, relieving you of the itch. Chiggers like me for some reason, so I've tried different anti-itch creams and what not after I get bit, but nail polish seems to work the best by far. Maybe that's just in my head though. :?:

Now all I need is a hoola hoop! Can't wait to learn a new trick.

[tigerpiper]

My grandma used to burn ticks off our heads with a lit cigarette.

What the hell was up with that?

And she wonders why I don't want to give her a hug now that I'm an adult?

P.S. Do I need therapy or what? How do you spell therapy? W-A-K-A-R-U-S-A

That is an old wives tale but there is something to it...

Chiggers bite and secrete a substance that liquefies our skin cells for their consumption. They don't burrow or enter your body - the itchy bumps you get are a reaction to their bite.

Nail polish on the wound helps keep the itching down, and serves as a good reminder that you shouldn't scratch it!

[PeteisWho]

don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but I always like to bring one or two large door mats. keeps the outside stuff outside.

the packing and planning continues....

Well there goes my cover as an entomologist. I'll guess I'll have to stick with Marine Biology.

Thanks for the great explanation.

[csbosox]

I noticed tent locks and it got me wondering, is that a good idea? Some messageboards seem to think that it is a good advertisement for declaring that you have valuables in your tent, but it does sound like a good solution for keeping most people out that don't belong, sure someone could cut right thru the tent, but that is a bit suspitious. What do you all think, lock or no? It would cost me $6.99 at Target.

[spauldazzio]

It's all about having no worries.

When you're dancing the night away are you thinking to yourself, \"hmm... I wonder if anyone is stealing **** out of my tent right now.\"

If so, you may want to get a lock.

Then, however, you may be dancing the night away thinking, \"hmm... I wonder if that lock I put on my tent is advertising that I have valuable **** inside.\"


You could just keep your valuable stuff in your car.
:wink: :wink:

[Spacekitty]

Hello spacekitty here. That is a great list, it makes me wish we were driving there but that's a long haul for this time around. Some of that stuff is not even allowed on planes. Uggghhhh I love being prepared but this trip is going to be done as lightly as possible. Paws crossed my group and I will do our parts. Sure we will...........

Any who back on the first page of this thread you were talking about hang over helper. http://blog.myerie.info/images/008.jpg

[The 3G's]

Camp lite, you'll find it much more enjoyable, and not have to worry about so much STUFF. ;)

[AnnaAllyn]

Theres a great product for chigger bites called Chiggerex or ChiggerX. Its a cream that helps with the itching and has a nice cool feeling. It comes in a little round bottle with a red top. Been using it for years, its always in my camping bag.

we couldn't GIVE those away last Wakarusa.. lol

[Pauly's Cheese]

As folks are beginning to get their ducks in a row, I thought that I'd find this list. I used it last year when packing and didn't forget anything.

BUMP!!!

[mamacita]

Ok there is a very good chance that I am just a dip****, but I can't get either file to open. Not in word or as a pdf!

Help a sistah out!

[Pauly's Cheese]

I just clicked on this link:

http://www.filesupload.com/userfiles/cahbaron/wakachecklist.doc

then it takes you to a page that says, \"Please wait a few seconds\"

Then a link appears at the bottom of the page that says wakachecklist.doc

I clicked on that and Windows asked me if I wanted to open it with Word. I clicked on open and it opened it. It was minimized at the bottom of my screen.

Hope that helps! If not, pm me with your e-mail addy and I'll e-mail you the file.

[mamacita]

Just as I expected! I'm a dip****!

I couldn't get it to OPEN, but if I saved it instead, it worked fine! Thanks pauly!

[Pauly's Cheese]

I doubt you're a dip****. Hell, you're coming to Wakarusa. That's gotta count for something! :D

I'm at a computer every day of my life, so I've got a few hours practice. Enjoy! :wink:

[bubblerman]

This is an excellent list very comprehensive. I printed a couple of copies, one for me and one for my sister who will be meeting me at roo after waka. With it I should hopefully not forget anything.

[The Name is Slick]

You guys beat me to it. I have been wanting to revise this since there were a few things I forgot to put on there last year. And I?m not sure what happened to that link. I?ll have to try and fix that and post a revised list.

[bubblerman]

sunglasses? were they missing?

[Pauly's Cheese]

The link worked just fine on my end. I look forward to the revision. 8)

HAVE ANY LEFT? I LIKE THAT BRAND!
the active ingredient in these things by & large is activated charcoal
it absorbs undigested alcohol and assorted toxins from the gut
you can buy charcoal very cheaply as its own pill
other things that are often ingredients in these things:
potassium & the amino acid taurine
these things do help (I believe)
however I have noticed I really never get hangovers when all I have to do is get up and go see more music & catch my next buzz
I only have hangovers when I have to get up and go to work or school or something!
mind over matter I guess

[PipeSmokeMcGee]

thats cool man, thanks so much for the advice

[scottt]

I used this excellent list last year for both Waka and 10klf. I'll use it again this year - curious to see what changes you have.

Nice job!

[Pauly's Cheese]

bump

[Pauly's Cheese]

This one still works.

[bee'smama]

many thanks!

[Crayfishandy]

Packing tonight ;)

*BUMP* for the cause
