*snip* please stop spamming with links to your blog
A trip kit:
An assortment of items/objects who's usefulness is directly related to an exceptionally inebriated state of mind (generally not including drunkenness but if you develop a drunk kit please let me know). Your trip kit should contain items that you'll think you'll need from previous trip experiences, that promote positive thoughts, moods, physical sensations etc.
The experienced tripper knows they should never leave home base without a trip kit, as your potentially befuddled state of mind might not be able to acquire these items in time of need, or you may not even realize you needed something until you have it. The contents of your kit should also vary pending on the environment you're in. These items should be placed in a bag, fanny pack, backpack, or something very convenient, accessible, and hard to lose.
My regular trip kit for city dwelling:
Smokes
Gum
Water/juice/pop (pending on what you think would feel fun)
Citrus fruit
Candy
Ipod/headphones (pending on if you are solo/group)
Toys (sometimes you want a bouncy ball on acid)
Now this needs to be adjusted pending on your conditions, a forest kit would differ from a house kit which would then differ from a desert kit.
Our trip kits in the desert looked more like this:
Gum
Smokes
2L water minimum
Beer
Flashlight
Glow sticks (as many as you can possibly put on yourself)
Granola or other rations
Alcohol of some variety
Butt tray (can't throw cigarette butts out)
More water
Gravol
Condoms
5htp
The essential-ness of a trip kit cannot be understated when partying/tripping hard, especially in the extreme climate conditions of somewhere like burning man. We had a mutual friend decide to pop 2 pills of MDMA, put on a mumu, then leave the camp without any supplies whatsoever. My immediate response was "what the fuck is wrong with this guy, you don't have a desert party without supplies", and sure enough he drinks half our water within 4 minutes, throws up along the way and starts looking like a big greasy Hawaiian who's lost his way on this planet. He's begging people for gum, smokes, drinks, asking to use our flashlights and being an all around nuisance. In the middle of the packed desert club (i believe it was called Slut Garden) he starts to wobble around and his eyes glaze over further. I knew he was about to puke, I calmly explain to him that there's absolutely no shame in not standing near all of us and throwing up away from people, and that we would infact prefer if he would just excuse himself for a few moments to make himself feel better. The words "no I'm fine" gurgled out and within a few seconds his hand was at his mouth, and a bunch of water, booze, gum, and whatever else he pilfered from us was erupting from the cracks between his fingers and the sides of his hand. From years of dealing with the inebriated I swiftly dodged away from the projectiles as I could anticipate their arrival. My other cohorts weren't so lucky and were moderately to decently covered. After a decent amount of embarrassment, and far too much apologizing he finally went back to camp. We resupplied our trip kit, and partied our asses off.
The moral of the story, know how to handle your drugs, but more than anything my friends bring a trip kit, and party smarter and harder.
Anyone else have any must haves for their kit??
More burning man and trip reports to come! *snip*
