It's soon going to be that time, music festival season... and many times, at the camping festivals, you'll find yourself camping near your car. This benefit allows you to securely lock away your valuables, and many times, create a really neat camp site. Try blocking one side of your shade tent with a van for example, it makes a nice privacy wall and allows you to still get inside the van through the side door while under the shade tent.Here's a bunch of things you can bring to create the most epic car camping setup at Backwoods this year:

1. Rug

2. Tarp

3. Standup Mirror

4. Shade Tent or Shade Cover for Tent

5. Fold Up Tables and Chairs

6. Battery Operated Lanterns (Decorative too!)

7. Blanket/Scarf (You'll want one that is fashionable, but also large enough to sit on as a blanket!)

8. Oranges, PB&J, Trail Mix, Water, Capri Suns, Go-gart, Coconut Water, Applesauce, and other awesome taste goods

9. Bug Spray and Citronella Candels

10. Trash Bags

11. Hammock (This is to bring into the festival with you and relax in the shaded Nirvana Woodlands!)

12. Small Battery Powered Speaker

13. Shovel and Bucket

14. Several Gallons of Water Jugs (For fire bucket, drinking, and rinsing things!)

15. A plant to spruce up your awesome hang out area.

Backwoods Tickets Online - Collectable RFID Wristbands for Backwoods Music Festival

We're moving to RFID wristbands instead of paper tickets for the music festival this year! When you order your Backwoods tickets online, we'll ship your RFID wristbands a couple of weeks prior to the festival. You MUST have an RFID wristband to get onto the festival grounds and campsites. We will not be selling tickets or wristbands at the gates, so be sure to pre-order your tickets online! Please spread the word to others since this is a change from year's passed!

NO Tickets for Backwoods Music Festival Sold At The Gates

It's important to know there will be NO tickets for Backwoods Music Festival sold at the gates this year. In years passed, we previously sold tickets at the gates. We're moving to RFID collectable wristbands this year for better experiences at the festival entrances, campsites, and music venues. These RFID wristbands must be registered to an individual for security purposes and will happen prior to the festival. The only way this can be done is by purchasing a your ticket ahead of the festival so we can ship your personal RFID wristband to you at home. There are only 10,000 allotted tickets for sale this year, and the festival is expected to sell out many weeks before the actual festival date. Be sure to order your tickets ONLINE as soon as you can to save on ticket prices, and SPREAD THE WORD to others! We want to make sure everyone has their chance to attend!

How to Build a Rage Stick - Rage Stick Wars

Can’t find your friends or have cell service? Circling around campsites that appear similar to the one you thought you set up? Nobody else could have cleverly thought to purchase a brightly colored tent to stand out amongst the trees. And yet, all you see is the color orange.Maybe it truly is the new black.But alas! In a *hand-to-forehead* moment you scan just above the sea of nylon searching for the witty (or at least you think so) rage stick you and your fellow campers crafted.Huzzah! There’s Crazy Eyes!In recent years fashioning rage sticks has become quite the frenzy among music festival goers in order to easily meet up with scattered friends.Here are some things to think about when it comes to building your rage stick:

1. Creativity - Be creative!  The rage stick loses its usefulness if there is another just like it floating high above the crowd.
2. Faces - Giant faces are not just for sporting events. Just ask the group who brought the second Danny Ocean…. Apparently George Clooney was all the rage (pun totally intended) at Summer Camp last year.
3. Height - Build them tall enough not to obstruct others’ views.
4. Light - Keep in mind a rage stick should be light enough for each member of the group to at least hold up in a crowd, not necessarily carry from the campsite to aforementioned crowd.
5. Power - Your rage stick can be battery operated. So maybe try your hands at adding a neon sign from your favorite neighborhood bar—not that we’re condoning stealing!
6. Wind - Last thing to consider is the wind factor. The more surface area at the top of the stick, the more susceptible it is to blowing over.

Top 10 Foods to Pack When Traveling to a Music Festival

Vendor food isn’t doing it for you anymore? Trying to save money for merch? Or do you just not feel like leaving the comforts of your campground?Alas, you remember the stash of food buried under dirty clothes in the corner of the once-clean tent. Somewhere beneath the sweat-soaked T-shirts is a cooler that some how managed to keep a few things cold.

1. Burger patties – Freeze the patties before packing them into a cooler. Not only will they thaw in time for a Day 2 dinner, but will keep other items in the cooler chilled. The same can be done with hotdogs or chicken.
2. Peanut Butter and Jelly –  Be it bread, crackers, apples, ect., peanut butter can be consumed several different ways and won’t go bad. Jelly, likewise, does not have to be refrigerated.
3. Trail Mix – Easy to travel with and contains quite a bit of protein, nutrients and sugar to tied a hangry music lover over between meals.
4. Chips – Because someone might get too intoxicated one night and will need the greasy substance to soak up the alcohol. Chips and salsa also make for a great non-perishable snack.
5. Fruit – Apples, bananas, oranges etc. can replenish lost nutrients throughout the event.
6. Ramen Noodles – Bring you back to the college days, or maybe you’re still there.
7. Jerky – Toughest thing about keeping this available is keeping other campers away from your stash.
8. Bagels – Carbo load in the morning for a long day of standing, concert going, and maybe a tad bit of drinking.
9. S’mores fixings – S’mores are figuratively the best part of camping, bring them to the community fires.
10.  Water – Technically it’s a drink rather than a food, but it’s just that important.

How to Cure a Hangover

So you’ve spent Day 1 partying, drinking, dancing, yelling (or what you like to think of as singing), etc. The final band is wrapping up, crowds are dispersing, and hopefully you or a friend are remembering at least the vicinity of the tent you’re supposed to pass out in for a few hours.After wandering for what seemed like miles, you’ve stumbled to the tent that boasts a giant spray painted X because it would look unique amongst the hundreds of other pup tents, kind of like a luggage tag does to the frequently traveled black suitcases.The slightly deflated air mattress feels like a Sleep Number bed rather than a deflated pool raft barely keeping afloat. You may not even notice that crick in your neck in the morning.Why?Because you’re head aches worse. Good morning! You’re hungover!But don’t worry. You’ve prepared for this, prepared for the over confidence in your tolerance, prepared for the stupidity of a friend (because you weren’t going to be ‘that girl/guy’ this year.How? Here are the top-10 hangover cures so the festivities can continue without too much of a hitch.1. Trick question: Backwoods only happens once a year. No sleeping.2. Hair of the dog. Chug a beer or take a shot. It’s like you never stopped…prolong the ill effects.3. Aspirin/Motrin/Advil/Ibuprofen. Don’t take these on an empty stomach; the after effects aren’t favorable for anyone in camp.4. Water. Despite the consumption of an abundance of liquids, you’re still dehydrated, and that’s why you have a headache in the first place.5. Watermelon. Not kidding. It’s food, and it’s mainly made up of water. So the summertime fruit is really a two-fer.6. Chips. Hopefully while you rested your friends who manned (or womaned) up and saw dawn and didn’t munch too much.7. Go for a run. Take 15 minutes to exercise and sweat the alcohol out. If you drank flavored vodka the day before, you’ll have a rather sweet smell as the alcohol discharges out of your pores.8. Ginger Ale/Tea. Ginger is frequently used to cope with nausea. Wouldn’t advise eating sushi with that just yet, though.9. Emergen-C. It will help replenish the vitamins lost while you were having a great time killing them off.10. Coffee. This one is a toss up. The caffeine may help the headache, but the boosting of your blood pressure could just make it worse.Honorable Mention: Abstain from drinking. But really, where’s the fun in that?
