    One more thing I would add is a power bank. I always carry one in my group of friends and I can say it saved out lives trying to order a lyft from EDCLV, electric zoo after the events because by the end of them our phones would be a low battery percent and would be a bad experience if our phones died and had no way to get transportation back to our hotel.

    Old schooler from the 90's here!
    List:
    Burts bees chapstick
    Mints
    earplugs
    slippery elm powder/ginger for upset guts
    clean socks (lots of them)
    skratch labs hydration mix packets
    cough drops (you will be talking quite a bit, and hollering!)
    headlamp
    Palo Santo for cleansing vibes
    pen and paper for names and numbers!
    a couple pocket crystals to give to special people!
    stickers! A large roll of yellow acid smiley faces to plant on people is super fun!
    for camping I always pack my Yeti party bucket to keep battery packs, keys, glasses and other essentials safe and dry.

    • @FractalZero
      @FractalZero 2 года назад +1

      dig through your local electronic music scene on socials. follow djs, venues, check music listings for your area. 'raves' vary by definition and aren't always obvious, depending what kind of scene you're looking for - i personally prefer clubs and smaller venues rather than festival - so i'm looking for something like: sets start from 10pm and at minimum finish 4am but preferable 6am onwards + the genre is uptempo or prog house / techno based stuff
      as you're asking this question, i'm guessing you're a newbie without rave friends. it's stupidly easy to make friends at mdma-based events (pro tip: hang out in the smoking/chill areas every now and again (if you're rolling yourself this is actually important to do to cool down and rehydrate)) but if you don't have the confidence to go alone then try to link up with ppl in advance or drag a friend along. if you live outside/away from a city or urban centre - i'm sorry for you and good luck lmao
