My personal list. :-) 1. Toilet paper 2. Hand sanitizer 3. Gum 4. Sinus decongester inhaler 5. Vicks vaporub 7. Eyedrops 8. Scrunchies 9. Earplugs 10. Pepcid/Tums 11. Flow art toy 12. Hydration pack 13. Electrolyte packets

[@dankusprime8096]

this, this right here, this is a real list. this is a list of someone who isn't hippie sick at the end of the week cause they actually prepared instead of wasting all their luggage space on overpriced mass produced raver gear bullshit. was mad about this video being so cliche and useless but then I saw that you're here actually plugging people with the life saving list. bless

[@Stale_Cupcakes]

Out of interest, I see a lot of people mention Vicks. Why is that? I only use that if I have a bad cold.

Mints are better. Bc I’ve rolled hard af and chewed gum until it somehow got in my hair 😒 It has also gotten on my clothes

[@CesarMartinez-oo5uo]

One more thing I would add is a power bank. I always carry one in my group of friends and I can say it saved out lives trying to order a lyft from EDCLV, electric zoo after the events because by the end of them our phones would be a low battery percent and would be a bad experience if our phones died and had no way to get transportation back to our hotel.

[@Mysticcycles]

Old schooler from the 90's here! List: Burts bees chapstick Mints earplugs slippery elm powder/ginger for upset guts clean socks (lots of them) skratch labs hydration mix packets cough drops (you will be talking quite a bit, and hollering!) headlamp Palo Santo for cleansing vibes pen and paper for names and numbers! a couple pocket crystals to give to special people! stickers! A large roll of yellow acid smiley faces to plant on people is super fun! for camping I always pack my Yeti party bucket to keep battery packs, keys, glasses and other essentials safe and dry.

[@ulyseesadventures]

Now this is a list for a good time. I love the Plato santo, stones, and sticker idea: I would’ve never thought of it: & I use them all the time! Clutch. Definitely going to use this list- thank you so much!!! I just went to my first rave yesterday 🫶🏽🫶🏽🌞‼️

[@irissilvana8197]

I havent been to a rave just yet, but an older friend of mine always has at least 10 different pieces of LED gear 😂😂 Im always having to buy batteries for them lmao

[@valeriahernandez9819]

Nat Horton Thank you so much! My next event will be Insomniac’s Escape for Halloween and then Dreamstate SoCal for Thanksgiving

[@lionheart8076]

Awesome video. What’s your choice of earplugs? Any recommendations?

[@FatBoyDoug]

William Lai I use the etymotic brand. Really good at filtering the loud decibels without compromising on sound quality. You can find the link to them in the description of this video.

[@jolibeeyumyum]

Going to Beyond soon, Can't wait! #PLUR

[@mylajoi706]

This might be a dumb question but how do you find raves to go to😭

[@FractalZero]

dig through your local electronic music scene on socials. follow djs, venues, check music listings for your area. 'raves' vary by definition and aren't always obvious, depending what kind of scene you're looking for - i personally prefer clubs and smaller venues rather than festival - so i'm looking for something like: sets start from 10pm and at minimum finish 4am but preferable 6am onwards + the genre is uptempo or prog house / techno based stuff as you're asking this question, i'm guessing you're a newbie without rave friends. it's stupidly easy to make friends at mdma-based events (pro tip: hang out in the smoking/chill areas every now and again (if you're rolling yourself this is actually important to do to cool down and rehydrate)) but if you don't have the confidence to go alone then try to link up with ppl in advance or drag a friend along. if you live outside/away from a city or urban centre - i'm sorry for you and good luck lmao

[@Getthisthingoffme]

My birthday is coming up soon and I decided to have a rave themed party Which is exactly why I’m here XDD I can’t actually go to one since I’m a minor But putting that aside thank you so much for all these tips!

[@bench-xpress]

Thanx brah!

[@jeniasip9417]

[@marissalanza4609]

You forgot wipes !!! Omg the restroom always run out !!! Great tips 🙂

[@FatBoyDoug]

Marissa Lanza YES!! Wipes and tissues are absolutely a must!!

[@marissalanza4609]

I made a video what to bring to EDC 🙂 and yesss I remember I went to my first rave and the bathroom didn't really have tissue paper

[@FatBoyDoug]

Marissa Lanza yea just like you said they run out so quickly!!

[@mishavasan2916]

You had me at gear

[@icefan]

Great tips Doug!!

[@FatBoyDoug]

Thank you! Was there an item from the video that you’ll bring from now on? Or any other items you’d add to the list?

[@DavidLee-xg8ne]

I hate to say it, but I never bring a water pack or anything that’ll hold water (but I know I need to)!! I usually just rely on people noticing me passed out on the floor.

[@FatBoyDoug]

David Lee Definitely consider it for next time especially if it’s during the hotter season! Stay safe and stay hydrated!

[@keipe008]

i hope i'll be able to go to a rave one day, i think i'm too young too right now xD

[@itsmorty788]

[@HectorGarcia-ry9mp]

I lost my rave/festival and mdma virginity yesterday i was wondering why my jaw kept on acting funny now i know why they gave me gum

[@mixamilianbuckminster7440]

You should do a video of a circuit party tips :)

[@RaveWithShai]

Mixamilian Buckminster this May be dumb but what is a circuit party?

[@seffr372]

I agree with the gum. Singing and yelling all day really dries out the old hole.

[@Casmusic69]

Thought it was meliodus instead of Thor

[@chemkicksbutt]

Is this for a rave or an extra colorful marathon? (As someone who has never actually been to a rave... what do you do/how long does it last...is a camelbak really necessary?)

[@FatBoyDoug]

+Josiah Stork Raves are definitely a very colorful event!! People dressed up in bright costumes/outfits. Each rave/EDM festival is different though. Some are a few hours, some last all day and night. So a camelback is definitely necessary for those longer festivals, especially in the summer heat. Must stay hydrated!

[@RaveWithShai]

Josiah Stork yeah you gotta stay hydrated and getting to the bar is not ideal and it’s free water!!!

[@abeer6756]

Getting LED bunny ears for ezoo this year!

[@FatBoyDoug]

+abeer That’s a great idea! Where are you gonna get them from?

[@abeer6756]

FatBoyDoug I’m just going to grab a few pairs on amazon and see which one I like the best

[@FatBoyDoug]

Amazon Prime ftw! I do that a lot of my costumes too.

You forgot to mention one of your essential lube without it you might have difficulty to walk normally.

[@Vasquez9321]

Fanny pack so you don't get pick pocketed !

[@RaveWithShai]

Vasquez9321 also the lunchbox fam has anti theft hydration packs that have interchangeable skins and glow lights! Doug do you happen to have a code? If not I have rave friends who do like Emma Kapotes if you want to get it to save a lil money!

[@RaveWithShai]

Vasquez9321 also pickpocketers ugh 😩

[@lynnbouwman8681]

The this is I don't like fanny packs cause someone could just easily take it.

[@nc90813]

[@MUSICLOVER72]

Ear plugs at a rave??!!! Ha ha wtf!!

[@FatBoyDoug]

+MUSICLOVER72 Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it! The ones I use still allow lots of sound in so you don’t lose the quality of the music. It’s not like the regular foam plugs that muffle all sound.

[@MUSICLOVER72]

@@FatBoyDoug...think I'll stick to hearing the tunes properly via my ears and not compromising the sound and volume with ear plugs. I'm old skool and go to raves and Trance nights to hear the music and dance my ass off all night!!

[@JM-ny5zx]

MUSICLOVER72 some people have sensitive ear canals and need them for protection!

[@RaveWithShai]

MUSICLOVER72 I thought the same thing and ignored it for years. Then a few weeks back I was in the rail at Minnesota and my eardrums were ringing so hard while I was headbanging I had to leave to find a new friend with a spare pair before I could get back to the rail.

[@RaveWithShai]

MUSICLOVER72 also it doesn’t impare your hearing at all. Just protects your ears 👂 try them!! You’ll be glad you did! Doug do you have a code for zounds or any earplug brand? If not I know friends who do so let me know and I’ll share the love!

[@sadiecook14]

wow ur so cute!!

[@FatBoyDoug]

Sadie Cook ::blushing:: Thank you for watching! Is there an item for this video that you’ll bring to your next rave?

[@sadiecook14]

FatBoyDoug yeah actually! i didn’t know that ear plugs were useful for raves, so i’m definitely going to bring mine. i’m going to my first rave tomorrow at DAS Energi and this video and your other ones helped a lot!

[@FatBoyDoug]

That's so great that my videos are helping you! Let me know how it goes at DAS Energi! :)
