Festival Survival Guide

Festival Survival Guide

With so many music festivals taking place in America every year, from the world famous Coachella and Burning Man to the much lesser known and more humble Mountain Jam in Hunter, NY, it's hard to keep track of everything that's happening every summer.

Once more, once you pass the threshold of the festival gates, it's a new world, and for those festival first-timers, it helps to have a bit of knowledge before you embark on your big weekend. While every festival in terms of it's vibes, it's atmosphere, it's agenda and it's people, there are some general tips that should apply to most of them which will help you through the festival season, wherever you decide to go.

Be prepared for all weather conditions - while you can look at the weather and try to prepare yourself according to the forecast, if you're at a festival for an entire weekend there is always the chance that the forecast could change or just be wrong. It pays to have warm clothing, particularly if you are camping or sleeping in your vehicle, as well as waterproofs for any spots of rain you may have to endure. As well as this, make sure you have light clothing, sunglasses and, of course, sunscreen to protect yourself from the burning sun. It may sound like you are preparing for a difficult hike, but in reality you will be outside all day, much like on a difficult hike, and with the correct preparation, some damp weather doesn't have to dampen your festival mood. Also, be prepared to ruin your shoes, and any other clothing you take with you.

Remember where you parked - this may sound a little stupid, but remembering the letter and number of your lot might seem like an easy task until you have been dancing and singing your heart out for three days, focussing on your diet and trying to avoid the portaloos. Some of these festivals can host in excess of 50,000 people, and trying to find your car in an ocean of automobiles at the end of the weekend after you have forgotten where you left it can be a nightmare. Make a note on your phone, or somewhere safe if you don't think you will have phone battery at the end. It only takes a second and could save you hours of time. Sometimes it also pays to mark your tent with a flag or something memorable so that you know it's yours at the end of the day.

Drinking - okay, so many people go to festivals to really party, and that's okay, but maybe it's best not to become blackout drunk to the point you can't remember your favourite artist's 40 minute set. Some festivals have restrictions on alcohol that you can take in, and to purchase it inside the perimeter is very expensive. Pace yourself and your body will be very thankful for your efforts. On a side note, make sure to drink plenty of water and to stay hydrated - dancing in the sun all day can be dangerous if you don't have enough water in you.

Eating - Food at festivals is often very expensive and very heavy. Eat light and healthy, fruit and muesli bars will go a long way, and might help you to avoid those awful toilets that everybody dreads.

Stick together - Festivals can be very huge places, and maybe you won't have any battery on your cellphone due to taking excessive photos and texting your friends about a new band that you just discovered. Try to stick in pairs at the very least, and if you do have to seperate, make sure to specify an exact place and time to meet again, or, much like your lost car in the parking lot, you could spend hours feeling a little lost and jaded. What's more, isn't a festival experience so much better when you're together?

Solar and Lunar Eclipses

Solar and Lunar Eclipses

An eclipse usually refers to an astronomical event when either the moon or the sun is partially or totally obscured by another object. Normally, when people use the term, they refer to a solar eclipse, when the sun is blocked by the moon as it passes between the two entities, casting a shadow over the earth, but more frequently we witness lunar eclipses, when the moon passes through the earth's shadow in it's fullest state, and can usually be observed from a greater area than a solar eclipse, in fact usually an entire hemisphere.

Eclipses are visually striking events, and observes and photographers worldwide take the time to watch and to truly capture the aesthetics. When it comes to lunar eclipses, the best viewing locations are the ones without any light pollution, so grab your camera and a tripod and drive out into the wilderness. National parks such as Yosemite, Joshua Trees and The Grand Canyon are fantastic locations to distance yourself from the city lights and to observe the night sky. While you will still be able to witness the eclipse from downtown LA, the view won't be nearly as clear.

When it comes to a solar eclipse, these can be observed from pretty much anywhere. Again, if there is a lot of a pollution, light or physical, this can soften the dramatic view, but as long as you have a clear view of the sky, you shouldn't have any problems. One thing to remember, only when observing the solar eclipse, is that you shouldn't look directly into the sun for the safety of your vision. There are special glasses you can purchase from many different outlets towards the date of a solar eclipse. Regular sunglasses can still be dangerous to use, and looking at the sun through a camera lens is also very dangerous. Also, make sure you remove your glasses while looking away from the sun. It is safe to remove them during a total solar eclipse during the moment that the sun is completely blocked out, and everything suddenly goes dark, but you should replace them over your eyes as soon as the light begins to reappear.

Obviously, visibility of the events depends very largely on the weather, more so than the pollution status of the observation area. Keep an eye on the forecasts of a view good areas for viewing the eclipse in your proximity to make sure you have the best chance at viewing the astronomical phenomenons.

On the 21st August, 2017, there was a total solar eclipse visible in the US, which was quite a rare event. There was also one on January 2019, but only slightly visible from the southernmost states of America as that will occured mostly over South America and the South Pacific. The next total solar eclipse to be visible from all over North America won't occur until 2024.

As mentioned before, lunar eclipses are much more common. This 2019, skywatchers in a few locations on Earth will have three opportunities to see a solar eclipse, a celestial event in which the moon briefly appears to take a chunk out of the sun. A total solar eclipse will occur on July 2, 2019. Nearly two years after the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017, the world will once again have a chance to experience totality. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. This total solar eclipse will be visible from small parts of Chile and Argentina just before sunset. Some regions in the Pacific and in South America, including locations in Ecuador, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay will see a partial solar eclipse.
