good shit adam! this setup looks lovely.

[@finlaytroughton4180]

Think I’ve probably watched 100 of these last couple years but i doesn’t get old😭😭

[@JJM003]

energy tablets!!! a must need. asda sell their own for 1.50, the same as berroca. i’ve also, newly, got a two wheeler and i’ve stacked SHIT tons on it. just gonna wrap it in cellophane and hope for the best

[@TrainedByJake]

Can't wait for the Reading Festival Vlog!

[@meg2422]

I’m going this year for the first time I can’t wait

[@cintiamln]

Good video guys! I really wanted to go to the R&L fest on my vacation, traveling from Brazil and I just realized that I need friends willing to accompany me. It's a lot to organize alone, without having experience. The sad part is I don't think I have these friends. Yeah, I'm fucked😅

[@haydnfowler]

Thanks mate your a life saver

[@queenjulianalovesherfatban2064]

I'm not going this year and I could actually sob

[@jaydaboi8990]

Quality video

[@1sweetperfume]

It's not going to rain at Leeds!😊🧚‍♂️

[@SamLouise94]

Another top tip, instead of the cooler box which can be quite bulky to carry. Try a small toddler swimming pool, lightweight to carry and can fill it with ice easier. Blow it up, and put It down at the end of the festival!

[@emily-hg3sx]

bring heat pads for when you sleep as your warm at night then when it gets hot they run out

[@jacksamthompson]

Good vid but a but more specifics on each of the items would be more helpful. Anker for life tho - that's a great tip. Fresh and Black tents from Decathalon are the best - they will stop you having to get up early each day from the sun.

[@TheFestivalMill]

Thanks for the recommendation - will do specifics next year :)

[@eagle.insight]

i wonder when set times are gona come out

If you plan on doing one for this year, what three words is a class app for meeting up

[@vanillaboichris6735]

Do you know if your allowed to take a Keg?

[@myguitarjourney2001]

I've gone to Leeds twice and it's been a heatwave both times hahaha

[@kirstychandler1192]

Do they search you tent bags at security

[@omar_lcfc9723]

Do you need an ID for entry or can you get in without id

[@themythicalmatt9748]

Leaving it a bit late but does anyone know what time the early bird tickets allow you to enter on the Wednesday?

[@willcooper4856]

6pm I believe

[@aimeelouise1771]

Can you take a mallet for the tent pegs?

[@TheFestivalMill]

Yes

[@haydnfowler]

advice for first timers? relatively nervous icl

[@finnbell9841]

Don’t be a puff pretty much

[@louiearcher7316]

Take as much drugs as humanly possible

[@shay5518]

Bring a hot water bottle 🤣 it's gonna be cold at night

[@ziggy5696]

TPD do it best

[@YesmanNoman]

Whats the difference between a groundsheet and a sleeping mat?

[@TheFestivalMill]

Groundsheet is just to line your tent or put outside - sleeping mat is like a mattress to actually sleep on

[@YesmanNoman]

@@TheFestivalMill I havent got one, do I really need it? Can I manage without?😅

[@josephsilcock400]

Thinking of taking weed in for the weekend. Don’t know how I’m gonna take it through security tho. Thinking about putting it into a cereal box and glueing it back up. Any ideas?

[@stapledcranium3122]

Prisoners pocket

[@josephsilcock400]

@@stapledcranium3122 is that basically guaranteed to work for the campsite or do they have dogs. And what about the arena?

[@hollieb6257]

@@josephsilcock400 there are normally dogs at the camp and arena entrances

[@archmufc6]

Are you aloud to bring any alcohol into the main stage or is it not aloud last the campsite

[@olicruse4842]

No alcohol into the main stage/arena (gotta sneak it in) but you can bring as much as you can carry into the camping 😂 (I go out to the Aldi up the road and stock up on ciders)

[@archmufc6]

@@olicruse4842 another question mate, are there dogs at the festival gates or just at the station

[@olicruse4842]

@@archmufc6 I've never got the train so I don't know about the station but there are some at the gate, pretty shit tho I didn't see anyone get stopped

can u bring a suitcase to carry clothes and shite

[@i33y_m4y]

def not a good idea

[@tekkerztrident2431]

I’d recommend a hiking/ camping rucksack.

[@LouisOT9]

couldn't u instead of looking for landmarks just mark the position of ur tent with google maps and use the directions with that to get back to ur tent?

[@sharpzi4949]

Yeh there’s a app which you can use for that.

[@chrissies6294]

What’s the app?
