Packing list and settle-up for the festival crew

Festival planning – with the crew

Pack the camp. Share the costs.

Tent poles, camping stove, crates of water: on one list everyone can see. Fuel and the campsite fee go under Costs – even with two cars.

Festival planning without the chaos chat

Tickets are bought, the chat is called “Festiiii 🔥” – and on arrival day there’s still no hammer, no second set of tent poles, and nobody who knows who’s actually bringing the stove. Add fuel, the campsite fee and the big drinks run that the same person always fronts.

PlanLos! is the packing and cost list for your festival crew. Bring for gear and food, To-dos for the drive and the setup, Costs for everything someone paid on behalf of the group. Everyone looks at the same list, whether they’re in the car park or still at work.

Open-air, camping festival or a city event with a shared Airbnb: once more than one flat or car is involved, you need one list. Otherwise the festival turns into a logistics adventure with no happy ending.

What festival groups actually need

Not every crew needs all of it – but these six are what usually saves the weekend.

Camp gear

Tents, tarps, pegs, a hammer, sleeping mats, a power bank hub – who’s driving what?

Kitchen & fire

Stove, gas cartridges, a pot, cutlery, a grill rack – one set is enough.

Food

Breakfast, snacks, fruit, pasta for the hungry day three – keep amounts realistic.

Drinks & cooling

Crates, water, cooler box, ice – usually the biggest amount someone fronts.

Getting there

Who drives, who pays for fuel, who takes the train – a to-do and a cost at the same time.

Tickets & fees

Who bought for whom? One entry under Costs, settled after the festival.

From the crew chat to the campsite

1

Crew group

Name the group after the festival and invite everyone with a ticket – the late deciders too.

2

Build the packing list

Bring and To-dos side by side: gear on one, jobs like “load the car” on the other.

3

Fill the gaps on site

Add what’s missing, and log the spontaneous water packs under Costs when you buy them.

4

Drive home, settle up

Check the balances before everyone disappears back into their week.

Festival reality

  • ✓Rain jackets and tarps are on the list – not first discovered in the mud.
  • ✓Whoever pays the campsite upfront shows up as owed money, plain and simple.
  • ✓One stove is plenty – the second one is space you get back in the car.
  • ✓After the festival: close the open items and square up the money.

Example: a crew with two cars

Ben drives the first car with the tent, the gazebo and the stove, Mara takes the second with the cooler and the camping chairs. Both log their fuel stops under Costs: €62 and €48. Cem already handled the drinks run for €138.50. On site everyone opens the same list and sees that bin bags are still missing.

Where festival trips usually go wrong

Two stoves, zero tent pegs

Everyone brings something, but nobody knows what the others packed. On the list it appears once, with a name next to it.

The €140 drinks run

One person fronts it for everyone and then waits weeks to get paid back. A cost entry makes the amount visible right away.

Two cars, two fuel bills

Who paid which fuel stop, who rode in which car? Both drivers add who was involved.

Arrived late, knew nothing

Whoever turns up on Friday evening opens the link and sees what’s already at camp and what’s still missing.

Quick questions

What goes on a shared festival packing list?

Everything the crew shares: gazebo, camping stove with gas, cooler box, bin bags, power bank, first-aid kit, water canisters. Personal stuff like sleeping bags and rain jackets everyone packs themselves. In PlanLos! you put the shared items under Bring and decide who takes what.

How do we split fuel when we drive in two cars?

Both drivers add their fuel stops as an expense and pick the people who rode in their car. Tolls and parking work the same way. At the end PlanLos! shows who still owes whom.

Does it work with bad signal on site?

PlanLos! needs a connection to add entries. Plenty of people log their spending in the evening or at a rest stop once the signal behaves. Everyone then looks at the same state.

How do we split the drinks run if not everyone drinks?

Add the expense only for the people who join in, or split it in two entries: water for everyone, beer for a few. That way nobody pays for drinks they never touched.
