With Glasto kicking off the northern hemisphere festival season this weekend, I've put together a shopping guide to help you navigate all possible outdoor camping scenarios - from the ultimate rinse-free hand wash (that actually feels nice, smells heavenly and is kind to your skin) to the most chic beanie to ward against night-time chill (it has a netted veil, natch).
It's funny - as I was editing my selections and double-crossing my list of essentials, it all felt strangely familiar. And that's when I realised that packing for a grubby, muddy outdoor music festival isn't too dissimilar to packing for a trip to the park with a two-year-old in tow. May your port-a-loos be unclogged, your exit strategy bottle-neck free, and may you get more than a wink of sleep. Have fun!
