MORE SHIT
What worked
oversized Ikea bags for general transporting in bulk
collapsible basin for washing up
ear plugs (close to kitchen, and they work/party hard)
dedicated ethernet/power kit box
head torches
car roof storage
moar bags, canvas/compact shopping for smol things like shower kit transport
Over-stocked
didn't really need the green torch if we had the big work ones
BUT if we are early onsite, power may not be connected yet (mitigate with head torches)
possibly overdid the batteries
foodz (didn't need so much if we use the volunteer kitchen and have no time)
1 collapsible table too many (may change if we run a village event/workshop)
Rethink
bed (was better on mattress + topper but they are HUGE)
compact the toolboxes rather than full blown kit?
BBQ
time for WORKSHOPS/TALKS
time set aside for housekeeping (washing up, organising tent, recuperating)
clothes washing - may reduce amount to pack. Naturally weather dependent!
cider staging can just retire in the shed. Worktops are TOO BULKY if we aren't running a workshop!
