Bonnaroo Packing List

With Bonnaroo approaching, we are knee-deep in the preparation process. Just like you, fellow Bonnaroovian, we are ditching our AC and bathtubs for battery operated fans and solar showers. As ‘Bonnaroo Veterans’, we have compiled a list of the ultimate must-haves to survive a long weekend spent camping in Manchester, Tennessee. Feel free to print this baby off, tune into Mamie Baby Liz’s Bonnaroo playlist* linked below, and start loading up that VW van!

But first, before you leave the comfort of your home ensure you have…

• Wristband (Duh!)
• Money source (U.S dollars will suffice, but we recommend signing up with Bonnaroo Cashless. According to Bonnaroo, the first 15,000 people to do so via their PayPayl account will receive a $5 credit--- which you can use at our Tent because we are accepting Cashless this year!)
• Full Tank of Gas (!!! Always !!!)
• Positive Attitude :-)
• A wagon… you’ll wish you listened to us as you tote 25 lbs of ice a mile back to your campsite at 3 am.
• Goldbond… lots, and lots, of Goldbond.
• Wet Wipes… the only negative that comes from these is seeing the color of the wet wipe post-use. (Pro-Tip: Wipes with alcohol tend to dry out the skin, we opt for baby/sensitive skin wipes so that we can keep our festi glow with no flaking!)
• Watering Can… feel free to pay $7 to shower, but we prefer to spend our money where our mouth is… which is on Spicy Pie. ;)
• Flashlight(s)... your phone will die, it’s inevitable, so do not rely on having phone light to guide you back. We recommend a headlamp that you can wrap around your ankle during the day to then break out at night. Which brings us to our next must-have...
• Portable phone charger… after all, you can’t post pictures of you rockin’ your Mamie gear if your phone is dead! We recommend a solar charger.
• E-Z Up Tent… placing your tent underneath an E-Z Up protects your tent from being completely exposed to that Tennessee sunshine. (After all, you are in a field with no shade in sight.)  
• Shoes… multiple pairs. We recommend having a pair of flip flops, rain boots, and your go-to booties/sneakers. If you couldn’t walk ten miles in them- don’t bring them...But if you must bring your new leather heeled booties, the following is a must:
• First Aid Kit… band aids, ointment, Advil, etc. This comes in handy for unknown 2am injuries and for when you do decide to wear those new leather booties.
• Bug Spray… Tennessee in the summer- need we say more?

But wait, there’s more… B O N U S  H A C K S :

• We recommend packing your daily ‘fits in Ziploc bags with a dryer sheet, this not only conceals space in your packed car, but is an efficient way to keep your clothes smelling freaky fresh!
• Go ahead and download Liz’s Bonnaroo playlist on Spotify so that when you do lose service, you can still jam out at your campsite.  Check out our Bonnaroo Playlist Here
• Dry ice, dry ice, dry ice.

Make sure to follow us on Instagram to stay updated on our Bonnaroo adventure. We look forward to meeting you all on The Farm!

XOXO,
