yep, driving up from Denver on Saturday with a cooler full of supplies. Will miss the TP dash, but others will be there to claim a little bit of territory for us. Good luck.

Have a safe trip and I'll see you in TP!   Cheers

I am gonna use this long weekend as my training weekend.  Turn the music up, drink everything from KOTO cups, complete my packing list, get the winter clothes packed, set up the new tent, see what bedding fits in the tent, get dressed inside the sleeping bag, set up some logs / rocks and walk around wearing some glasses with too strong of a prescription, etc.

Right, I'm pretty much doing the same thing here Heaubeau!
preparing pastry whilst standing on a chair for the altitude, bluegrass playing full volume, practicing all my favorite song lyrics from memory, sleeping in my sleeping bag on the floor of my room with my windows open and no heating to see how cold I get, figuring exactly how many heavy sweaters I can fit in a backpack before I'm no longer capable of lifting it off the ground, taking 10 min showers in tepid water with a cold rush at the end, just to get my tolerance levels up...  Thumbs Up
Now what exactly should I be practicing as a Newbie? the art of escaping festivirgin sacrifice rituals I guess...  LOL

Don't bring whimpy tent stakes to Telluride!  Get the ones that look like 10" nails with a plastic piece at the top.  And, pack a big hammer.

Alphabetical order.  Or try packing things in separate Rubbermaid tubs based on if it's a tent item, an inside-the-festival item, or food.  All the bacon goes in one tub too.

I don''t have the rubbermaid tubs, but I do use Hooch's basic idea with duffel bags.  One for clothes, one for gear / kitcheny items, box for liquor bottles, tent bag with stakes already in it, all bedding together in whatever it fits in / strapped together, box for liquor bottles, cooler for whatever needs to be kept cool, box for liquor bottles, box for other food items, small backpack with in-the-festival items. One change of clothes in a ziploc left in the car for the ride home.  My name written on every bag / anything else i might be carrying around (water bottles, dishes, etc.).

Yeah I change my name to Old Navy so I could easily identify my clothes.
