Top products from r/bisco

1. Most people who comment on the venue have never been there. I have been to Peach twice and the last bisco and you should not listen to them. Montage is not perfect by any means but the stages are awesome and the walk is nothing. People like to be dramatic about stuff but the novelty of being at a festival in a water park / ski mountain / concert arena makes a pretty badass weekend. The bad things about montage you should be conscious about are the rediculous prices they charge for food water and booze and the security which can range from being non-existent in some areas to drug dogs in others
   
   
2. Yes, people have been known to rob from tents. I recommend putting all valuables in a couple bags and putting them under your tent when you go to the stages. It's unlikely that something would happen but possible. As far as stealing tents goes, just put something heavy in it and you wont have a problem. I have the 40 dollar 4-person coleman tent from amazon and as soon as I set up camp i blow up a queen sized air mattress in the tent and then bring in my wagon next to it and then I use the wagon to keep my clothes and stuff organized during the festival. All of this and theres still walking space in the tent and I guarentee no one will be able to steal it.
   
   
3. Camping on the slopes is not that bad, Really the only way it will affect you is you will fall over in chairs a lot and you cant put drinks on tables, setting up camp is no different than usual.
   
   
4. As with any festival, there are good and bad people. The kinds of people you meet will be a direct reflection of the vibes you emit. You will have the best time at this festival if you come with the best attitude. Don't put down music you haven't seen, don't think that not knowing all the artists makes you not as much a part of the experience. Go into it with an open attitude. You dont need to leave as the worlds greatest biscuits fan but you do need to experience at least one biscuits set to form your own opinion. Definitely make it the first one because after you see it your not gonna wanna miss the rest
   
   
   EDIT: ALSO you are most definitely want to get yourself some of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005X1Y7I2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I did some research and these are the best ones you can buy for the least amount of money. I bought two and they kept two iphones and a wax pen going for four days with no problem. They seriously changed festivals for me

I used this one for both Bisco and Peach last year and it was glorious: https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Carts-Pneumatic-600-Pound-Capacity/dp/B01BECQAWO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499263304&sr=8-1&keywords=gorilla+wagon

The big tires make a difference, and this thing has a pretty rugged frame.

Some other tips i've learned over the years:

-flat sheet to cover your sleeping bag to keep off moisture. never nice to get into a nice damp bed at night.

-Damp rid ( https://www.amazon.com/DampRid-Hanging-Moisture-Absorber-Fresh/dp/B011R1ODAS )

- Vitamin C (down with wook flu)

- towels (either for the pool or showering)

- Coozies *not critical* but I like my drinks cold

Pro tip: Buy a camp shower. They work like a charm.

there is like an outlet bank by the lodge people can plug their phones into. i bought 2 portable chargers on amazon and i use them for every fest i go to easily charges a phone 0-100 4-5 times and a go pro a couple times

i have 2 of these

SeaSense Telescopic Flag Pole https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019M5EWW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FdwBxbF8PADCH

Adventure Travel Shorts - Expensive, but secure. Lead time is often 30-60 days however.

ScotteVest Shorts - Very deep front pockets, with a second 'hidden' pocket inside the main pocket.

Hydration Backpack - Heavy duty nylon backpack; You can stash items in the slot for the hydration pack and no one will ever suspect it. The zippers are also heavy duty and the fabric can be pulled over the zippers to hide them.

Remain vigilant. Don't get too fucked up.

I bought this neck pouch thing for my phone after I lost the fucking thing three times last year, and I always just put my debit card and ID inside my sneaker. Taking my shoe off whenever I want to buy something is annoying, but my shit never gets stolen.
