Oh yeah i always carry my backpack,a camping chair,and a cooler.My fatass needs a good chair and some damn snacks to survive,and forget a $5 corndog or $8 fuckin hamburger.I just bought seven cases of faygo for me and to share with the fam too.One of my best gathering freindships started with me giving away a faygo.I also bring some beer too even though i don't drink it,that's some good bartering ammo.Oh yeah don't forget the liquor!Remember no glass bottles are allowed though.

hahahah yeah! Once again this could be a very dumb question to ask but i might as well, how do they handle people being intoxicated/ under the influence im 18 by the way? By what i have seen i dont think anyone cares but i just wanted to make sure!

how do they handle people being intoxicated/ under the influence
speaking for myself, i find that the best way to deal with a belligerent drunk is to put them on the ground. usually, when the drunks head hits the deck, naptime is imminent. im not much worried about underage drinking, but if i see somebody feeding alcohol to a minor beyond what is sensible, i might sound off. i hate it when people play 'lets get the puppy drunk.'
if, by 'they,' you mean the cops, assume they will handle it like they would any other time, which is to say, theyll probably decide they have the right to fuck with you.
now, ima preach i lil bit…
realisticly, you most likely dont want to be fall down drunk at the gathering. other than the desert, about the worse place in the world to be drunk is a sweaty, bug-ridden open field.
in fact, i recommend being very, very moderate with any and all drugs, except nicotine and boodah. remember, ALL drugs need support of some kind. most require added water intake, for example.
if youre taking hard drugs or hallucinogenics, you should have a babysitter, someone around you whose head is still on and is keeping an eye on you. some might laugh at that, but when a juggalo takes a whopping load of whatever and goes wandering off they MIGHT DIE. its happened before, itll likely happen again.
PLEASE dont come to the gathering looking to experiment with drugs, just stick to substances you know well, and can function on. most people dont lose it their first time on lsd or shrooms, but when they do, its a huge fuckin problem. the vast majority of heroin overdoses are either first timers or veterans who didnt bother to test a new hookup before slamming it.
the gotj takes place in the middle of nofuckinwhere. there will not be an emergency room nearby with a supply of Narcan. if you come to me, i might be able to help a little, but just enough to get you to an ambulance. if its there.
awfully paranoid, arent you?

This forum is really helping me guys i appreciate all the good advice!
Thanks scruffy, i was talking about “they” as in anyone working in the place, i dont plan to drive drunk there or be around any cops (is there any police presence once inside the gathering? I know there is security but i was just wondering) and im not looking to be the one thats incredibly stupid drunk, just looking to have a good time, and no i dont plan on experimenting, ive done hullicnigetics might take some shrooms or acid (not trying to do X and overheat) , but im not gonna try herion or anything i could OD on or take any insane amount of drug while im there, i didnt come to the gathering for a big drug binge (well…i planed on doing drugs but i always plan on that for concerts) I came for the atmosphere i have been hearing so much about and the nonstop music and party!

How thorough are the car searches? How do people sneak things in and where should i hide any illegal items?
11:40 pm
they are really only looking for glass. for me have always just wanted to open the cooler. and check the trunk. We are always packed to the max with shit, and they never take anything out or rummage through it or nothing. Just a simple “got any glass? can i look in your cooler? Ok, all good. have fun”. basically dont make anything stupidly visible (which would be smart for the cops on ride in anyway) and ur all good.
Most importantly, share whatever youre worried about them finding with me and the other ninjas. Woop Woop fam, less than two weeks to go
11:44 pm
and bryce, no cops in the grounds at hogrock any previous years, besides a car once or twice to come in for emergency purposes. but when they do i still see juggalos standing in front of that car flipping them off and yelling all sorts of shit. Im pretty sure they only come in to help, and say escort an ambulance or something. Not try to arrest anybody. Lets be honest, unless there are hundreds of them, they do not want to start a fight inside this place.
And lets see them find you once you run into a concert crowd…”what kinda shirt was he wearing? something with a hatchetman….oh…shit.”

Great Post Man! For all the newbies heading to the Gathering there's some great info here. Everyone at the Gathering is about having fun and partying, but every year there's people getting fucked up beyond this world and just passing out all over the grounds. Most people see that as an open invitation to fuck with them, don't be that guy on the ground getting dumped on….literally. I've seen that ambulance hauling ninjas out numerous times over the past Gatherings I've been too as well. Know your limit and if you don't, at least have someone in your group that can summon help if needed.

i didnt even think to mention that, but its probably an even better motivator.
tell someone they could die, they say, 'who the fuck are you, house md?'
tell them they could have penises drawn on their face, NOW they take you seriously…

we got stopped last year, in some raggity ass town. maybe 30 miles out. thank god they couldnt get a drug dog out to us. just asked us where the pills were and gave us weird looks for about 15-20 mins, then let us go.
the fucked up thing is they lied to pull us over. said our lights were out. in a brand new rental… when they said that i was like “are they working now? ” right away he was like “yeah, yeah they are on now.” scumbags.

Ambulances ARE there. They have a whole medical tent with enough supplies to deal with almost everything. and at LEAST 2 ambulances. They have to be there for the performers, not just the audience. They come prepared.

You will most likely get stopped at the check point on your way in. If your car smells like weed, it's not gonna go well for you. If your homie in the back is sippin on an adult beverage, also not a good plan. Basically, don't be stupid. Searches are 9 times out of 10 nothing more than a quick peep in the window and ask you to open your cooler but they're not gonna search it or anything. Make sure everyone in the car has valid i.d. and no warrants.
As far as underage drinking, there are no alcohol vendors to check your id so as long as you contain it to the grounds or your hotel or whatever, nobody is gonna say shit. As previously stated though, don't be stupid.
I've never known anyone who purchased anything from drug bridge so I can't vouch for quality or prices or anything but I'm sure if you want it it's not gonna be too hard to find.
KMK and Tech will have a merch booth on whatever day they're playing and most likely only that day. Second stage people will usually be selling stuff nearby during/right after their set. Mainstream acts will not be selling shit most likely.
You don't want the water that comes out of the faucets scattered about the grounds. Mass people will be walking around selling water for $1 and if you wait long enough they'll come to you.
2:57 pm
The drug bridge usually has very low quality, if not fake. Your best bet on that subject is to just ask around or read peoples signs until you find what you need. Also, everything is MUCH cheaper on the last day because everyone's trying to get rid of everything before they leave. We got 15 free jello shots last year just because they were melting and the guy didn't want to buy ice for his cooler on the last day. He had been selling them for $2 each.

and make sure u ask if its cold or not… some scrubs sell warm ass water for 1$… some even fill up empties at the mist tents and sell them. make sure seal isnt broken, or theres no floaties n that shit.

yes. there will be x number of ambulances. that means, if there are x+1 ambulance cases, somebody waits.
a city of 5000 would likely have 2-4 ambos, and will have plenty of occasions where they are all committed. and that is in a normal city, where half of the people are children and seniors, the majority are clean, very few are camping out for a week, and none are at a psychopathic event.

and IF they have to wait they will be on a stretcher in the medic tent where they have enough supplies to deal with almost anything.

youre coming across like you think its cool to fuck yourself up at the gathering, because somebody will save you…
okay, lets have a look at the tent: gauze -yes, c collar -yes, oxygen -probably, blood expander -maybe, defibrilator -maybe, lidocaine -maybe, atropine -no, ng tube -no, ecg -no, xray -no, trauma surgeon -no.
but hey, i must be stupid, right? i mean, theres an ambulance right outside the entrance, right? who ever died in an ambulance? go ahead and be as carefree and reckless as you want, its not like anything bad will happen.

I’ve been in that tent. They got cots, band aids, bottle water, and cell phones to call some actual EMTs. Better to just play it safe and boot up black tar at your house the first time … Not in a dirty tent.

Once again, thank you all for this advice its helping ALOT
Now im gonna come off as the new kid again haha but recently i have been thinking about bathrooms and all that, i KNOW there bad, any suggestions what to do? Alternatives?
And as i stated before, i dont have a car pass, whats the probability of someone breaking into my car? (I know there is only so much i can do and you guys are not psychics ha)
Also, since i do not have a car pass and will only park at the parking lot, can i leave?
