We had some booze taken from our cooler last yr, but we didn't give a . If it were really important we coulda locked it up in the car. |

Yes, god-damn it!!! It's sooooooooo much more fun when you camp! If you don't plan on sleeping, there's no point in getting a hotel. |

We had all of our chairs stolen in Bobcageon... At least 6-8 of them!!! It's really sad... We learned our lesson though. If you're leaving your site.. LOCK everything up ;)Other than that ONE incident, I've attended 4 WEMF's and have had no other problems. |

Don't forget folks WEMF has security wandering around keeping watch of things too - and I suspect the venue this year will ensure things are much more orderly as well.
Come to think of it - I've had stuff stolen in provincial campgrounds but never @ WEMF. |

Only problem with camping is that there are NO trees for shade so if you like sleeping during the day in a tent that will be VERY hot:confused: then get a motel room.And as RJ stated here, there are people who go to WEMF for the sole purpose of stealing. I opted to book a motel room in Wasaga this year and I hope to see all the TAs @ WEMF...

I'd thought about this too....but like others have said, lock in the car if it's valuable, and re: the heat...that's a bit of a bummer too, but I figure I can deal with it. |

Hey liquidchick! I haven't seen you on TA in ages. Still live in the Hammer? I'll be heading up from here too. |

| I went to WEMF a few years ago (at Sauble Beach) and we had no problems with things being stolen, even though nothing was ever locked up, just left inside our tents....having said that....the biggest problem was the security...at least when i was there, it seems they were out to make some extra cash off the peeps, or score some treats for themselves. We got busted rolling a joint and the baggie had some hash in there as well....they figured pot was not of much interest to them, however hash was harder to come by or something, so they "seized" the good stuff and left us the the remaining goodies. Needless to say we were not impressed! Also, I heard some other scary stories that went down during wemf, that year as well in previous ones, so for all girls especially, please be careful, don't wonder around the tent area alone late at night...no matter how safe you think these PLUR events are, there will always be those few that manage to ruin it for the rest of the groovers. Cheers |

Drugs are illegal and cause liability issues for security and promoters - thus confiscating such items is necessary. |

I am really thinking about going to WEMF for the first time this year, and was wondering if all of you guys are going for sure? Also have you bought your tickets yet, and if so did you get the 2, or 3 day pass? Moreover, is there any advise you can give to someone going for the first time (e.g, thinks to bring, and things that you should definitively not bring)? Thanks
|
Yeah Martin you have to go!!! I bought my tix already... lots of us are going. Check you pm's!!! |

There are a load of hotels in Wasaga - they're all the same distance from WEMF.
Just call around. |
A hotel is alright if you reealy need your sleep, but to me getting a hotel room just wouldn't feel right. I like being where the action is!!

For the record, I've never had anything stolen and been to 4 or 5 WEMFs.
Camping is fun! |
Same here... maybe it's because of the company with me. Our campsite is usually occupied for the most part so when we do leave ppl tend to stay away because they might think that we'll be back any moment... could be wrong, but that's my theory at least. |

| of course i realize drugs are illegal, but i was trying to make a point about the sketchy security that i have encountered that was out to snatch those "ilegal" drugs for personal use or profit...that refects very poorly on them, they prolly walk around just as messed as the next guy at these parties...or at least they did when i went. |
