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!!
Bonnaroo demands that the water bottles still have the safety rings intact on them to bring them into Centeroo, but you want to re-use bottles due to overall thriftiness or love of recycling. What should a loyal Inforooer do?
Why, go online and purchase a bag of the caps with safety rings still attached!
Fill your water bottles with the clear beverage of your choice (water of course - what else would someone put in a bottle? ), screw on one of these caps, and it will be the same as if you bought them from a shakedown vendor just a few seconds ago.

Have you used these - do they really look like the bottle is still factory sealed? I can think of a lot of instances where this could be quite useful, but I never had the slightest issue with this at 'roo. Maybe other people had this problem though.

Nalgene is just made of super-tough plastic, Lexan, I'd guess (the same stuff used in bulletproof windows). Mine isn't an official Nalgene bottle, it's a cheap Target knockoff, but yeah....same idea.
well they let most people with pre-filled camelbaks through so I'm sure they weren't looking to hard at the liquids. They just can't be huge assholes and make people buy their water or die yeah know...

I have never been stopped with my pre-filled camelback, or pre-filled water bottles without rings intact. I think you should be fine without buying them, but karma for you for fiding that link in the first place.

I've used them before - they are indistinguishable from a "factory sealed" bottle.
They're great for transporting something else other than the original contents too...

Just so you know, the Nalgene company also makes this little beauty for testing lab rabbits:
Nalgene was originally a lab-equipment manufacturer. They only got into consumer stuff because people started getting their hands on the water bottles anyway.

Yeah, I always throw around Nalgene facts when vegetarians carry around those overpriced bottles. The device pictured is to prevent the rabbit from breaking his own neck while being "tested" upon, a defense mechanism for extreme pain or danger.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
did they have some rule where you could only bring 1 unopened bottle of water in? i seem to remember that being a stipulation, but i also remember going back to the tent many times in a less-than-sober state and throwing many water bottles into my backpack and getting back into centeroo without a problem...
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
I don't really remember it being a problem after the first couple of days. By Saturday and Sunday, they're pretty much waving you through without doing any bag checks.
Sunday night before Phil, there was this one cOOk sOOker going through people bags, throwing stuff into the trash cans. Hope it made him felt good and powerful. Maybe he should get a penile implant
