i find carrying a folded up bin-liner in your pocket is handy as if it down pours you can tear a hole in the bottom and wear it as a poncho. they're very light and don't take up any room, but you do look like a bit of a tramp wearing one.

Its also worth putting a bin liner inside your rucksack just in case its not as water proof as you thought and all your dry clothes end up sopping wet

Hey thats a damn fine idea. Never thought of that, but seeing as I'm not sure my mates tent is 100% waterproof, it might save me squelching around in wet clothes for the entire weekend.

A better idea is putting each days clothes in separate bags. That way they stay dry and apart so there's no danger of having socks and pants that dont match. Plus when they get wet you can pop em back in the bag without getting your fresh stuff manky.

You can also use bin liners as something to sit on if there are no chairs/rugs and you don't wanna get crap on your arse.

;D somehow i discovered that a toilet roll fits quite nicely into a sandwich bag, as toilet roll is considered gold dust by the average festie-goer this does help keep it dry in case of tent-leakage or any other water involving incidents.

Doesn't matter how organised I try to be - by the Friday morning, the tent looks like a bomb's gone off in a jumble sale...

Hmm. I have a special toilet roll holder hat...
My official Reading Festival hat is black and purple striped, with one of them really long bobbles that hangs down to your arse. I can easily push the bobble through a toilet roll tube, and then wander about with hands and pockets free to carry alcohol...
