The tent (and the girls in it)

If you are a guy, you must have your own tent because girls tend to share tents. And you could get lucky… In connection with that, you must remember to forget your airbed pump, because then you can strike up conversation quickly with the neighbour – who could happen to be a girl. And good neighbourly relations also give security from burglars.

The camp mascot

…is a must. For example, the old rats have a pig called Spider Pig. When you squeeze it, it makes a gagging noise and a really foul-smelling air comes out of the other end. There is nothing better for unity among men.

Cheap food

For new and less well-off festival-goers, here is a simple – and tested – shopping list that will last you all week:
 
• Three rye breads
• 20 tins of tuna
• 2 tubes of mayonnaise
• Pepper

The best morning drink

Port is the best drink to start the day’s bender, and it also has a calming effect on upset hangover tummies. The brand Tawny is recommended. The drink has the advantage that it does not need to be kept cold.

Camp music

For the ghettoblaster a car battery is recommended – it lasts for a long time, so you don’t need to go battery hunting all the time. Also, remember a student from an engineering college who knows how to place the crocodile clips correctly.
