Time to borrow some of that tariff nonsense and count how many get left behind if each make and then do that entirely logical maths to create a huge tariff to once again make a tent something you look after and keep for years
I have flown with my brothers/friends across country to a camping style event. We have tried it both ways where we buy folding chairs, a cooler, sleeping bags, a few other things we know we are not bringing back on the plane...
We've also brought a cooler stuffed with sleeping bags, a bunch of folding chairs duct taped together, on the plane with us.
But the stuff we left behind, we found other people in the campgrounds to give them to who lived locally. We didn't just leave it behind in a pile
Iām sorry for my ignorance, but why does everyone keep talking about pooping themselves here? What drug are people doing that results in pooping your pants?
Ive never left a festival without all of my belongings and a bag of trash so this is just, new to me š though ive avoided festivals of this size so must have been around more considerate people
A gig or day event... but multi day festivals? Just take drugs and wake up fresh... no queuing, way cheaper, no bloating...I like a drink but it's an awful fit for festivals.
Lmao wake up fresh as a daisy after a 4 day hard drug bender? Maybe if you're like 18 or something it's possible if you take it real easy with just a few bumps of coke and do one night on one night off but most people are not waking up feeling fresh after a big night on the molly, let alone going hard from thursday to sunday. Plenty of people would barely be sleeping at all. We're talking festival drugs like molly, coke, ket etc not smoking a few joints and having an early night.
I've done psychedelics before, tried acid, shrooms, DMT etc but never again. Friend of mine who had done shrooms/acid several times before did a pretty normal amount one night and had a complete psychotic break. Couldn't sleep for 5 days in a row and got increasingly more insane as the days went on. Everyone else had the same mushroom tea and nothing bad happened to them, just him. Had to be hospitalized and medically sedated and ended up on antipsychotics for a couple years after that. Messed up his life quite badly and he still always seemed a bit different after that. The idea of something like that happening or getting hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) has put me off doing them entirely. Never felt great the next day after taking them either, always needed like a solid 48hrs of just resting in bed to feel completely back to normal.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, that must have been difficult for you to experience and I can understand why it would make you apprehensive.
But I think such extreme reactions are in a minority and affect people with a preexisting vulnerability... admittedly we don't know who is vulnerable to them or not.
I was very careful with my intro to them and built up doses at home and processed a lot of the feelings in a safe way before I started to use them recreationally.
...Plus the safety profile is simply much better... just think how many people are harmed by other drugs. But of course I'm a huge advocate of moderation and care with all drugs.
I mean I remember my first time on MDMA and that left me seeing things for weeks, it put me off ALL drugs for years.
Yea definitely, we got a very large one and I would never leave that behind, unless it was like a life or death situation. Even if it got broken, id take it and trash it or fix it if possible.
