A reliable tent is paramount. Opt for one slightly larger. A comfortable sleeping bag and inflatable mattress are non-negotiable for recharging. Consider a tarp for shade or rain.

Personal Care & Hygiene
Wet wipes, hand sanitizer, compact towel are essential. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, wide-brimmed hat. Earplugs protect hearing during loud performances, aid sleep.
