What to Bring

Making sure you are well equiped when attending a LARP is the easiest thing to get right to maximise your enjoyment of the weekend. Out of character equipment is just as important as in character equipment and below is an example list of the kinds of things you might want to bring to an event.

Essential Equipment

 * Character costume (layers, layer, layers!!!)
 * Tent (either IC or OOC, there a specific areas to camp depending on which you bring)
 * Enough food for the weekend
 * Water bottle
 * Sleeping bag
 * Comfortable and waterproof shoes
 * OOC clothing (lots of layers, you will get cold!)
 * Suncream (heatstroke ruins your weekend, take it from someone who knows)
