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!
