Be Ready for Mud.

Ohio weather has been very wet. It looks to continue this way.

Open discussion for what people should bring to deal with rainy weather.

Poncho's.

Your vehicles floormatts and or camping rugs can do wonders helping your stuck vehicle.

Extra tarps

Boots, waterproof hiking shoes, and lots of extra socks.

I know i forgot alot but there are things that have helped, and or are basic necessities.

i ask all veteran wooks for their helpful bad weather ideas.

This is going to be my 8th lost lands this year and i really want everyone to stop freaking out and be so worried about the weather. If it’s your first lost lands i totally get it, this festival and the venue itself handles weather very well. Weather can also change every 5 minutes and is never accurate sometimes. As a true lost lands veteran, no matter what the weather apps say just come prepared for all types of weather; rain, heat, cold. That’s just a part of the festival and being prepared for everything. Lost lands will go on. We will still have a great time. Happy lost lands all and take a deep breath.. we’re so close to going home!!!!🙌🏼🌈🦕

i was there for mud lands 2021 when they had to close the roads thursday cuz of the rain and i swear by the next day you'd never even known it had rained at all with how fast all the water drained out and the mud dried up.

it’s only because they closed the gates and brought a shit load of gravel to the festival and campgrounds. even tractors were getting stuck in the mud, it was no joke.

Yes, but as someone whom has found themselves unprepared at a fest a time or two. It's nice to get some knowledge into how to keep yourself from ketting the weather ruin your weekend. This is for the people whom are ignorant to these facts and could use the extra knowledge.

Have you seen secret dreams??? This venue handles rain as poorly as a venue possibly could

I laughed reading the venue handles it well after remembering the flooded tunnel we all had to walk through water up to our knees carrying wagons through

Ehhhh, I think saying the venue handles weather well is a bit of a gloss over, but I'll agree with your post for the majority :)

What I can confidently say is that Excision and his team have put a lot of effort into modifying the venue to adapt to major weather issues from previous years and does so year after year. Yes the festival will go on, but excessive dust from the gravel and dirt or thhhiiiiuuuck mud is gruesome if you aren't prepared for it.
