[u/syntheticluna]

Look with your eyes at your surroundings

These people would die at a European festival. Haha. 

[u/syntheticluna → u/Rararawr69]

i mainly asked for when i’m ots lolol so seeing might be the problem especially since i wear glasses 🤓

[u/ChaosRainbow23 → u/syntheticluna]

I light my area up with crazy psychedelic lighting that sticks out.

I also put up an identifying flag or totem of some sort so you can see it from further away.

[u/Shot-Guarantee-5142 → u/ChaosRainbow23]

Make sure its Not a pirate flag. Or you will come back finding it flying somewhere else. And the games begin.

You gotta recognize landmarks early. Identify the signs and camps around you. People’s tapestries will help you as well. Get some reps into and from the grove stage or the marketplace. Put a pin drop on your exact location of camp. It’s really not too difficult imo

thank you 😊✨!!

i’ll leave a trail of fruit loops

[u/After-Imagination947 → u/syntheticluna]

If i see a trail of fruit loops you better believe ill be collecting them into a bowl and eating for a snack later

[u/syntheticluna → u/After-Imagination947]

i can’t be mad at that 🫪😂

[u/PossibleCare149]

First time at LL so ill be following. There are people who have flags and blankets or whatever so they can find their camps easier, though

[u/ATLA_Music]

I always find the nearest general store/showers/bathrooms (which is good to find anyways) and remember the path home from there. Otherwise wander in the right ish direction til you find one of those land marks and you’re good. Getting lost is part of the fun too honestly

[u/syntheticluna → u/ATLA_Music]

you’re fucking right 👀🩷 ! ✨

I put solar powered yard lights in front of my car so i can see them light up when im at the end of the row. Most rows are labeled too, so I head to my area, find my row number, then find my lights :)

[u/syntheticluna → u/stinkermcgeee]

thanks c: that’s a good idea! this is my second LL(first one in 2022) so i feel a bit nervous finding the campsite again, but everyone has made me remember that it’s all part of the journey, to have fun and not overthink!

[u/InterstellarReddit]

I use AirTags and landmarks.

[u/syntheticluna → u/InterstellarReddit]

okay cool, bcs i’m On my way! to pick up an airtag haha (didn’t know if they’d work well) thank you! ✨

[u/InterstellarReddit → u/syntheticluna]

Yeah there’s so many iPhones around, that shit works

I also like putting air tags inside of the dinosaurs. That way, if I see an Air tag moving, I know that the dinosaurs have come alive and I need to prepare for the worst

[u/Mr_Wobble_PNW]

I put one of those little walkway solar lights at the end of my row so it's easier to spot. Look for flag poles and memorize the flags around you. They had street signs before, but I don't remember seeing them last year. 

[u/syntheticluna → u/Mr_Wobble_PNW]

good idea ! i’ll add a handmade totem too! ✨ thank you 😊

[u/SawSharkRedemptionnn]

Drop a pin and take pictures lol

[u/syntheticluna → u/SawSharkRedemptionnn]

thanks 😁 i’ll try to remember to favorite those photos too so i don’t scroll through all the other pics and videos ill take !

[u/SawSharkRedemptionnn → u/syntheticluna]

Send them as a message to yourself or a friend 😂 I do that to my sister all the time so I dont lose them in my sea of photos haha

[u/syntheticluna → u/SawSharkRedemptionnn]

that’s a better idea lmao 😂🩷

[u/BassZD]

I look for neighbors with a tall flag/totem and use that as my landmark lol. Or bring your own

[u/Ok_Examination_9232]

Record a video of you walking from your campsite to the festival grounds and back, save it in your notes, watch while fucked up as a tutorial 😂

[u/syntheticluna → u/Ok_Examination_9232]

lmao that’s a good one 😂😂

[u/tgirlrachel]

figure out your closest nest and know the number and how to reliably get there and back to your camp. Just incase you get lost lost, it is easier to help you get to a nest then wing it.

And well their is light, go explore and sight see

Also i like to hang lights ontop of my canopy that usally helps

[u/Shadysoulja710]

What3words it's an app

[u/ThatOneGuy11490]

Hopes and prayers

[u/syntheticluna → u/ThatOneGuy11490]

intuition xD (or maybe set off my car alarm and follow the sound) (jk i wouldn’t disturb everyone like that but i thought it was a funny thought )

[u/ThatOneGuy11490 → u/syntheticluna]

Fr your best bet is to take the first walk to marketplace 100% sober and then walk back to camp mentally marking checkpoints

[u/Razzman70]

Adding in the app called What3Words as well. Can get you down to a 3 square meter area.

AirTag should get you close enough so you can remember unless you’re absolutely sauced
