REVOLUTION CHECKLIST
REVOLUTION is an exercise in radical self-reliance. You must bring enough food, water, and supplies to survive, so that you can enjoy, your time at REVOLUTION.
Contributions are a wonderful expression of community, but you must take responsibility for your own survival and well-being. Do not show up expecting the community to take care of you. Participants arriving with inadequate supplies will not be allowed to enter the event.
We do have a list of PROHIBITED ITEMS, so keep these in mind when you are packing. Firearms, Explosives, Cigarettes, Animals (including Dogs and Other Pets) are PROHIBITED.
Think twice before packing; remember Leave no Trace. Excessive Packaging (consolidate in reusable containers before you arrive), Feathers, and Glitter create a big mess. Seriously, how are YOU going to clean that up?
Our checklist is recommended so that you are comfortable and don’t forget anything important. As a community we want you to fully enjoy the experience, promote safety, and leave no trace. Remember these are just recommendations, bring what you actually need.
