Part 1 of 4:

Choosing a Suitcase

Choose a Suitcase that will fit your clothes.
- Depending on how long you stay, depend on how big your Suitcase should be.
Choose a Suitcase that is sturdy, and is weather resistant. When going to a outdoor music festival, it can rain, and storm, so you may need to make sure your Suitcase can keep your clothes dry, and one that won't fall apart if it gets wet.
Use a Suitcase that you can easily carry, or pull. You don't want your bag to be so big that you have a hard time traveling with it.

Using your clothes plan, pack in chronological (E. g, If you are going to the festival on Monday, and will be staying until Friday, pack the clothes you will wear on Friday on the bottom of your bag, and the clothes for Monday, on the top. That way, they will be in order).
