What should we pack? Do we need thermals?
Quick answer: Thermal base, fleece, warm jacket, cap and gloves; thermals are non-negotiable for camp nights. Plus power bank, sunscreen, quick-dry towel, meds, cash, ID and a torch.

Related doubts, answered
Do we need hiking shoes? Not for the 3D/2N, arena plus camp. Adding Dzükou changes the answer and the packing list.
Any entry restrictions at the festival? No liquids or large bags inside the arena, professional camera gear may need a media pass, drones need clearance nobody gets.
