What to pack for Boots and Hearts 2016.
I have only missed one Boots and Hearts Country Music Festival in the past five years. I’ve become a pro as I have over packed and under packed.
Here is a list of things to bring to Boots and Hearts
A tent. Well that’s obvious isn’t it?
Large cooler – pack up your food and drinks in one easy cooler. This is a great product that worked for me! The Coleman 100QT Wheeled Xtreme guarantees you the pleasure of keeping food and drinks cold, a place to put drinks, and an extra seating place if you meet some friends. I kid you not. I had to buy 2 extra bags of ice over four days.
I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time at the festival. For those who love a hot meal. I recommend the Coleman NXT Standup Propane Grill. Very easy to pack and with no picnic table, you’re able to BBQ without killing your back.
I also recommend a table of some sort. I’ve seen plastic tables and picnic tables arrive on site. I have a small table to prepare food. I basically have a camp chair and wing it when it comes to eating.
Disposable plates and utensils.
A tarp for over the your tent.
Water – always nice to have water for a quick clean up.
Ice – ice is sold at Boots and Hearts as well.
I found if I stuck with that list, I wasn’t in need of too much more. The first year I had everything and the kitchen sink. Without a campfire or picnic table, you pretty much have to get creative. Bring what you can. Remember you must be out of the campgrounds by noon on Monday.
Food Ideas for Boots and Hearts
Snacks. Lot of them, especially if you spend a lot of time in the festival grounds.
Veggies cut up. Great for a quick snack or roasting on a grill
Dips – always makes veggie eating more fun!
Cold cuts – great to whip up a sandwich on the go.
Chicken or steak for fajitas – if you’re up to the grilling challenge!
Fruit – I tend to eat a lot of fruit during my four day getaway.
Salt, pepper and other condiments.
REMEMBER! There are a lot of food vendors if you’re craving something hot but don’t want to leave the grounds.
Drinks – remember the limit for alcohol is a maximum of two (2) bulk alcohol items per person. One (1) “Bulk alcohol” item is defined as:
One (1) case of 24 cans (no bottles) of beer or malt-based beverage (tall cans permitted)
One (1) bottle (26oz) plastic (no glass) bottle of liquor.
One (1) 4L box of wine (no glass).
