I survived the `T in the park` (I think)
It was my first time camping too. (no doubt some of you will be laughing at that admission.)
Here are some things I found to be of use.
My fishermans multipocket vest. (a godsend in many situations. I carry books, food, walkman, kagule in it, still room for more.)
an army roll mat. (bigger and thicker than the ones the others took, also comes with own strap for tying back up)
a small cloth bag for clothing, and use as a pillow.
a yard and a half square of plaid. (light, warm, blanket, travel rug, and when pinned on the shoulder with a brooch is a natty garment too, particularly suited to mixed weather, you flip it over your shoulders in the hot and draw it round you in the cold.) My scots ancestors have gone up no end in my estimation!
on the sleeping bag front, I borrowed fathers wifes light one, (had my own stuff sack thankfully) a bit small for me. I put my legs and lower body in, let the plaid take care of my top half. This was fine.
