After decades of wrestling with tight tent bags post-Glastonbury, one veteran attendee revealed a killer hack on r/glastonbury_festival: ditch your original tent bag and buy a bigger one. This year, they pre-packed their tent into a larger carrier from eBay—ending years of packing frustration.
Comments flooded in—some joked about “tent folding skills,” others enthusiastically backed the advice. Most agreed packing down Monday morning, hungover and muddy, is always a chaotic slog. Tips ranged from folding and rolling techniques to just chucking the tent into oversized bags or even shopping totes to save sanity.
The bottom line? Whether you’re a tent-packing ninja or a reluctant pack-down struggler, upgrading to a bigger tent bag is a low-effort move for major stress relief. A small buy that can shave hours off the post-festival hassle—wise words for any Glastonbury tribe member (and any festival camper) looking to dodge the dreaded tent-tetris.
Stay smart, pack smart, leave no trace — and maybe leave that tiny tent bag at home this year.
