myhab: For a festival experience free of camping disasters
You don't need to have been paying too much attention to the festival scene over the last few years to have noticed that, as idyllic as the picture in your head may have been when you booked your tickets, things can sometimes go a little bit wrong. If it's not tents being submerged in mud and water, it's the apparently insurmountable variety of problems associated with outdoor lavatoriums.
Well, consider such problems behind you, as long as you don't mind shelling out. Basically, myhab is a shelter made of recycled plastic and waterproof cardboard. Fear not, the cardboard is all inside the myhab, and having checked it out myself at the product launch the other night, I can confirm that this habitat is extremely durable.

Festivals are great. Lots of music, lots of smiling people wanting to see lots of music and, if the mood takes you, three whole days of getting horrendously wasted with your mates. That said, there are probably more negatives when attending a festival. 
Designer James Dunlop is a clever sod. Why? Well, he's hoping that his (genius) Myhab disposable habitats will help curb the huge number of tents left behind at festivals. First peak at these Myhab things may well leave you thinking that it's some kind of glorified cardboard box, but check this out...
Anyone who says that they don't have hippie leanings and attends festivals is a big fat liar. Instead of throwing your arms up in despair, give into those leanings and buy yourself a nice teepee.

Hmm, 
Festivals have a reputation for attracting greasy, smelly boys who drink too much and enjoy indulging in too many illicit substances. But guess what! Greasy, smelly girls who drink too much and enjoy indulging in too many illicit substances are welcome as well! As are girls who are a little more concerned with their appearance at such events.
1. Chandeliers - While you may want your tent to outshine those muddy canvas boozeshacks around you, chandeliers are generally not the way to go when camping. For one thing they tend to weigh down the ceiling of your accommodation, resulting in you sleeping with a mouthful of crystals. Sounds exotic, until you actually try it. It is literally no fun.
Festivals are as much about survival as they are music. Of course, watching bands and soaking up the sights is great... but it's no fun with an itchy bum and trenchfoot. So how can you make your festival experience that little bit easier? Here's our suggestions.
