Default East Coast JK Fest Necessities!!!

So with just about a month to go, I decided to make this thread to get feedback from everyone as to what we should plan on bringing along. This will help us as a whole be a little more organized. Whether it be trail gear, camping gear, or booze , this thread can help us start saving up and packing for the trip So if anyone has any recommended items to bring along, post them here

I always bring a box of duraflame starter logs...folding chairs for sittin' around the fire...and my mountain pie irons! Along with all the other stuff mentioned already. It would be nice if someone has one of those battery powered Ipod speaker docks. I'll bring my Ipods just incase.
