Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
We have the 'Survival Gear Backpack List' Thread, and the 'Great Deals On Roo Supplies' Thread.
But what are you actually bringing? lets hear it. This is My First Roo, but not my first Festival (hellfest... bah...) and i am an experienced Camper.
Why not list what you have, what you'll be bringing, and what your plan is. Take my info for a guiding idea.
3 guys in Tent Only 3 packs with a weeks worth of clothing 3 sleeping bags, 3 sheets/cotton blankets 1 Eddie Bauer 14x12 Screen House 2 2-3 person tents, 1 single person tent 2 10x5 Tarps (riveted) Rubbermade 5-day cooler 3- Sports Authority camping chairs 1- propane grill with 3 cans of propne (size of WD-40 bottles) Duct tape (cures cancer... i swear) WD-40 (ya never know..) length of thin rope (for Tarps) LeatherMan 2 pots, 4 bowls, sporks. Cleaning supplies Clorox wipes, Toiletries 2- 2.5x4 ft plywood boards (connected by hinges, reinforced and 4 'legs' of 2x4, that will bolt in easily. (home made table, foldable) 2 flashlights. Flagpole (design pending) Trashbags Food and Drink (no glass) pocket cash Protein bars, trailmix, snacks. (trying to find some Jiffy Pop) French Press + coffee 2 towels each cards, Non Expandable Recreational Foam
that is one hell of an itinerary. i can't plan that much... too many people to keep track of etc. i'm going with two other cars full of people, so it's basically impossible to do that.

Yeah, i'm anal. ;D
I would list my roo list but thus far it's three pages long... detailed down to exactly what shirts, pants and various toiletries I will be bringing, and colorcoded in categories including- already own it, need to buy it, perishable (aka buy just prior to leaving), as well as coded in their area of importance and packing location, such as- camp gear, toiletries, clothing, tech essentials (like Mr. Tom Tom) and even what exactly will be carried into centeroo with me... I take anal to another level... Only 46 more days to list... and then I will actually have to focus on school work instead of deviating towards bonnaroo every chance I get... sigh

ps- you really have tom tom?
the itinerary was me being bored. and i dont care if we follow it or not. but i have the most camping experience out of any of my friends, and i'm the only one researching the Bonnaroo Setup. My buddies litterally ask me what type of clothing should they bring. so i made a Itinerary somewhat like one you'd recieve for a field trip in Kindergarten.
and Yeah, i recieved a Tom Tom (original generation, pre Garmin) as a graduation gift. Its a life saver. has the entire continental united states on it. John Cleese is the 'Guiding Voice' and i have every Dunkin Donuts and White Castle built saved into my 'favorite places'
If you have the money (now they're a bit cheaper) i recommend one 100%!!!! if you travel ANYWHERE, its for you.

Hehe it makes me giggle... you should have them sign permission slips too I should compress my list to fit on one page (or at least type it up) and post it on here... Its a genetic thing believe me you dont want it... all the women in my family are listers It's an annoying compulsion having to write everything down all the time...
Oh!!! and your tomtom voice is john cleese!!! so unfair

Before Cleese it was some random Brit chick... i named her julia...
when you reach your destination, Cleese says' You have reached your destination, you can get out now. But don't expect me to help carry your luggage.'
Ah, British Wit!
And I'm the son of a Sicilian Woman... i know all about organization and lists....
I was going to put a 'Parental signature' line on it. We were going to have a 4th person with us. a Girl who is a bit younger then us. Her parents were a little worried. so i was going to give them the itinerary.
We're meeting a group of 13 down there. friends and Friends of Friends.
oh, the 'Xerces Device' i have listed, was going to be a Wooden table with long pole arms that we throw everything on, and will carry together to the tent only section (much like the scene from 300 , where the slaves were carrying Xerces's throne) I still need to figure how to make it... who knows.

You named her?? I thought only I was that odd...
I have a request of you... can I be painted gold and carried throughout the GA area atop your Xerces Device... pretty please?

well a battle for the largest contingent... traitor... I totally had you pegged for pirate... then again that could have been your previous post... So you have to add costume to your list

Ok you win(though I'm not saying you're right)... and I still totally owe you karma for being awsome and having John cleese tell you to get your ass out of the car (only in a proper british manner)

In terms of food, we're packing liiight this year..
12x bottles of water per person (approx. 4 a day) 1x gallon of water per person (rinsing off, refilling bottles, etc) 12x MREs per person (and there is no way I'll eat all 12)
And beer beer beer. We shouldn't have to bring any cutlery, can openers, cooking equipment, or paper towels, napkins, etc. It's all in the MRE
I won't have to spend a dime in Centeroo on food / drinks, unless the scent of the gyro draws me in, or I get the shakes from a lack of alcohol..
^^ unless you intend on drinking roo water, I'd bring more water than that.
I can kill 2 water bottles in 1 sitting in the heat, and if i fill my camelback to the brim(3 bottles) and only sip conservatively I'll still kill that in under 2-3 hours... I drink a LOT of water though
3 cases Sam's Choice water A 2 person tent/canopy combo camelback spray sunscreen 3 cases of Modelo (I know, expensive, but oh so good.) a tuxedo sleeping pills 2 boxes of cheese its gold bond (should have brought that last year) more babywipes car battery fan extra car battery an extra tank of gas beef jerky carrots, celery, brocoli, cauliflaur(sp?) and ranch Handle of Jose Cuervo Especial Liter of New Amsterdam a plastic waterpipe (for salvia)

We usually bring 2+ cases a year, and have 4 people, and end up with leftovers.
I try to keep hydrated, but not drink too much. Less 'Roo potty breaks
We'll probably bring some extra just in case - it won't go to waste, that's for sure.
teach me....
