37	Manual Water Pump	Essential	You'll see electric pumps for your 5-gal container... I much preferred the manual pump!	LINK
38	Mattress Cover	Essential	I hate that icky cold plastic feeling you can still experience if you put sheets directly over your air mattress. I would recommend this highly.	LINK

43	Mouthwash	Essential	You will be dry all the time and no on likes hot breath.	LINK

48	Preperation H Wipes	Essential	Critical, trust everyone who reccs this.	LINK

57	Socks (Account for 1.5 Per Day)	Essential	You will be told you need a lot of socks. You don't need as many as you think you do. If you are there 8 days, you need 12 pairs of sock. Don't do ankle socks.	LINK
58	Spare Set of Contacts	Essential	Essential for those who wear contacts	-
59	Sunglasses	Essential	Duh.	LINK
60	Sunscreen (Lotion)	Essential	As a ginger, I found myself wearing big hats all the time, but worth having if you don't like spray sunscreen	LINK

72	Watch	Essential	Time is a construct but you do have to show up for work on time.	LINK
73	Water (5 Gallon Container)	Essential	Go to Wal-Mart, buy the 5 Gallon containers at the front. I recommend three (3) total but you can probably survive with two (2).	LINK

75	Work Gloves	Essential	Utterly critical. If you don't, your nails won't survive.	LINK

78	Lube	Gay Priority	Radical Gay Self Reliance if you find yourself with the opportunity.	-
79	Air Mattress	High Priority	Obviously important but I've heard from friends a camping cot is ultimately more comfortable as it doesn't deflate with the cold weather.	LINK
80	Bike Flag	High Priority	I highly recommend this with a custom, easy to notice custom flag or even LED. I didn't do this but will be this year.	LINK
81	Bike Repair Kit	High Priority	There are plenty of camps that can help but this is nice to have in case.	LINK
82	Bike Seat	High Priority	Buy a comfy seat. You'll be on the bike a lot.	LINK
83	Bike Storage Tent	High Priority	If you buy a smaller tent (like a shift pod mini) have a secondary tent like a bike tent to store items, your water, luggage, etc. It gives you more room in your tent.	LINK
84	Contact Saline Solution	High Priority	Take care of your eyeballs.	-
85	Costumes	High Priority		LINK

92	Lag Bolts (Personal Set)	High Priority	I think its good to have your own set of lag bolts.	LINK
93	Laxative Chews / Magnesium	High Priority	If you have never shared a porta-john with 30+ people for an extended period, you will be poop-shy your first few days, also your diet in general changes so I'd def recc	LINK
94	Loofah (Rubber Style)	High Priority	Having something like a loofah is nice but cloth onces are less ideal, would recommend a rubber style, quick dry	LINK
95	Midea Air Conditioner	High Priority	If you are a partier, AC's are critical. If you have a more normal sleep schedule (meaning you wake up before noon), you can actually get by with just a fan. That said, other years it has been brutally hot. I had one but didn't end up using it.	LINK
96	Notebook/Pen	High Priority	Nice to have a small notebook and pen on you to get info! If you're highly social, a cute little card with contact details is a nice way to exchange info.	LINK

98	Sheet Set	High Priority	Comfy sheets are critical for when your sleeping bag is too hot.	LINK
