Here’s a guide to essentials you’ll want to bring to Camp Flog Gnaw, updated based on their 2024 policies. Following these guidelines will help you have a smooth experience without running into restricted items or surprises.

### Essentials:

1. **Tickets and ID**: Make sure to have your festival pass and a valid photo ID ready for entry. Wristbands should be worn securely, as removing them could invalidate your pass.

2. **Clear Bag**: The festival adheres to a strict clear-bag policy. This means a small, clear bag, fanny pack, or clutch that complies with size restrictions is recommended. Non-clear bags are generally not allowed, so double-check the dimensions and policy beforehand.

3. **Reusable Water Bottle**: Hydration is a priority, and empty, reusable water bottles are encouraged, as free refill stations are available on-site. Be sure the bottle is empty upon arrival to pass security.

4. **No Outside Food or Blankets**: Due to security measures, outside food items and picnic blankets are prohibited. However, the festival provides a range of food and beverage options, including vegetarian and vegan choices, to cater to all dietary needs.

5. **Portable Charger**: With so much to capture and share, a portable phone charger is a must. Be prepared, as outlets may not be readily accessible.

6. **Sun Protection**: Sunscreen (non-aerosol) and sunglasses are essential for comfort, as well as a hat or bandana for extra shade.

7. **Ear Protection**: To fully enjoy the experience without compromising hearing, earplugs are recommended, especially near larger stages.

8. **Comfortable Shoes**: Expect lots of walking and dancing. Closed-toe shoes with good support will make a big difference over long festival days.

### Prohibited Items Recap:

- **Food and Blankets**: Outside food, coolers, and blankets are prohibited, so plan to purchase meals and find seating on festival grounds.

- **Non-Clear Bags**: Stick with clear bags to comply with security and avoid delays.

- **Aerosol Cans**: This includes sunscreen, so opt for non-aerosol versions.
