Why do so many people abandon tents?

When you're spending £325 for a weekend, (probably £500+ including food and drink) a £30 tent starts looking disposable

Leaving behind your trash is entitled and lazy behavior. Grow the fuck up.

It disgusts me. I was a regular festival goer in the early 2000s, including Leeds/Reading. I would never have even considered leaving my shit behind, however young, tired and hungover I was. It’s shameful. When my kids are a bit older I’ll have no problems with them going, but I’ll definitely be checking out and checking back in ALL their kit.

Teaching your kids to be responsible, hell yeah.
