« on: April 07, 2010, 01:58:01 pm »
This isn't just a weekend at a friend's house. We need to survive sometimes.

Kurmoricon can be a long adventure,
What's in your survival kit?
Post and give us advice to build the essential k-con adventure super fantastic survival kit so future generations may use it to their adventures!

Necessities in the kit so far:
Mountain Dew.
Deoderant
Cell Phone
Snacks
Duck Tape (can't say it never hurt!)
Money (If you're at kumoricon without it, I think it's a bad idea.)
Pocky (Strawberry or chocolate)
Water (
Sewing Kit
stain Remover (it's genious!)
Note pad and a writing utensil
Stuff... (This is gender specific... males unless you WANT your cosplay to be scruffy and females understand what they need to bring in this category)
Portable Gaming Station (Sometimes it MAY be the reason you are at the con.)
Camera (Smile!)
Cards, if you need to rest and relax
Batteries for camera (Dead things are dead weight.)

This particular kit is kindof shabby. Why am I so unloved whenever I post on forums? :'(

I don't have a survival guide, but here's the con-related things that are in my purse Labour Day Weekend:

Wallet
Random change
A jacket
Cell phone
Cell phone charger (I have to keep it in my bag or I'll lose it)
iPod
Feminine hygiene products

I never have a schedual, I just look at other people's. I should also bring granola bars, but there aren't many that I can eat that I like.

Deoderant.....for those times the stank breaks through.
Camera......To take pictures of all the amazing cosplays out there.
Money......to buy those uber cute cat ears you couldn't get last year.
Make up......to keep your face fresh for scaring poor little kids with your awsome "i'm evil" look.
cell phone.....to call your buddy and tell them about how they're missing out.
Badge......because you don't want to be unceremoniously thrown out of the con.
Comfy shoes......because you don't want to be one of the idiots that wear REALLY uncomfortable shoes just to look good.
A friend......to help you hobble along after realising that (tee hee) you were one of the above mentioned idiots.
A bag/manpurse/purse/whatever......so that you can actually carry all your stuff without dropping anything.
A good mood.....because nobody likes a grumpy cosplayer weilding a giant paper mache sword or gun
