You simply don’t have enough hands for all the gubbins you need to carry around onsite, so it might
be a bit smarter to use your head. This Petzl headlamp is water resistant, has three brightness
settings and makes you look a bit like one of the fellas from Orbital. Ideal.

Smaller than a pack of fags and, onsite at least, probably almost as cheap, the Flip Mino is a
devastatingly simple point-and-shoot video camera. You can record up to an hour’s worth of decent
quality movies on the generous 2GB internal memory. ��������������4

It’s got GPS, a 2MP stills camera, your entire music collection, internet on the move, up to the
minute weather reports… if you only take one gadget to a festival this year, make it Apple’s shiny
slice of the future, the iPhone. ��������������4

With no juice, gadgets become about as useful as soggy bog roll, and fields very rarely have
powerpoints in the corner, but fortunately the boffins at Powertraveller have come up with the
answer. The Powermonkey Explorer is essentially a giant rechargable battery...��������������4

No mobile reception? There’s another way to make sure you don’t lose your buddies. These walkie
talkies are shockproof, have a range of 5km and will run for 20 hours off a set of triple As. They’re not
perfect as you can only contact the person who has the other one but they’re a lot cheaper than mobiles.

A fumble in the dark is only so much fun, especially when you’re gagging for a pee at 5am and you can’t
find your shoes. This twin light set can be clipped to the interior of your tent when you need to shed a little light
under the canvas, and running off standard batteries it’s unlikely you’ll be plunged into darkness anytime soon.

There’s a chance you might be able to keep an eye on those lost hours after all: the G-Shock
Riseman is one of the most accurate digital timepieces on the market. Constantly updated from six
different sources - not only will it tell the time bang on, it will also do the temperature. ��������������4

The Jetboil is a portable gas-fired camping stove that will take you from cold, wet and miserable to
piping hot brew in hand in just 90 seconds. The micro gas canisters – sold separately – are good for
boiling as many as 12 litres of water. ��������������4

The original wireless innovators now present the very latest in radio technology with the SolarDAB,
a retro-style digital radio designed for the outdoors and powered by the rays of the sun. The only
problem is that it’s probably the most nickable item on this page.

Speaking of which, this might be a bit more rudimentary compared to the rest of this lot, but it will still
outsmart those lighter-fingered festival attendees. The Body Wallet is a subtle security solution that sits
snug under your clothes and spares enough room for cash, tickets and even a slender gadget or two.
