The ultimate packing list

[Nutella]

Could I solicit opinions on camp pads?  Can we get by with the $8 foam pads from Walmart?

Festivirgin here and getting very excited!

Sure as long as you remember that the ground at Telluride is like frozen concrete!

[Nutella]

Well, my husband wants to lay down our yoga mats, then our old sleeping bags, and sleep in our new bags on top of that.     I'm thinking that's not going to cut it!  If any internet strangers were appalled by this, it would help my cause. 

Any specific recommendations for camp pads that are good at high altitude (especially in the $30 and under category) would be super helpful, too.

Buy a queen size mystery foam mattress and an air mattress sacrifice
And mate them. (use the air mattress as a pillow case just cut em and stuff em) we did that and it waterproofs it as well as provides a moisture/thermal barrier.  You can find old air matresses all over try good will thrift shops craigslist  freebox ect. Good luck  ps just to clarify do not use the air mattress with air. You will freeze

In my humble opinion, no you cannot. I recommend the REI 3.5" XL pad found here - it's worth the investment and through April 15th, REI is having their 20% off one item sale:

For some who might be flying, that may not all fit.    For those of us who left sometime ago and are living the dream on our way to TBF we hope we have packed correctly.  . Getting closer to festi intros every day.

Well, if you could not fit it all.. The most important thing is to have really warm clothes and lots of layers and rain gear.......

Silly Debbie, we all know that the bacon is the most important thing!

[Debbiefromtucson]

BUT, they could always scrounge up a few pieces of bacon somewhere.....

[Debbiefromtucson]

HEY- there is NO BACON of HIPPIE"S list...................( perhaps because it's on my to-do list?)

I noticed the same thing, no bacon and no BEER on his list! but then I guess Hooch has the bar list, so it's all good.

[Pirate Looks at --]

There's no Tequila on that list either....that,s cause Jerry knows that I am bringing a SIX Pack! And Beer was on the original list!
