Some have asked about why we say bring suncream and raincoats.

Even yesterday when it was about 16°C, the UV index was hovering around 6. Yes, the sun can still burn you through clouds if you’re going to be outside all day.

This varies by skin type, but
0-2 🟢 low risk for the average person
3-5 🟡 moderate risk
6-7 🟠 high risk
8-10 🔴 very high risk
11+ stay in the shade!

We’ll be adding UV predictions to our weather updates so you can make your own choices on sun protection.

Plus if you bring a sun hat it keeps the rain off.

Thinking about volunteering at EMF? We’d love to have you! https://www.emfcamp.org/volunteer

We have a little dashboard internally that makes us all very happy when we see the lines at the top (shifts 100% filled). That purple line, that’s the bar, and stage crew for the bands.

We would be really chuffed if we could hit 50% of roles filled before we kick off.

Any questions about the roles? Hit us up!

Remember, we’re in a field! Every EMF, whether it is rain or shine, someone needs towing.

All the useful-in-a-pinch car stuff is in the bottom of the boot. You know, spare tyre, tools, towing eye.

In the unlikely event you have cause to use your towing eye, you might prefer to have it stored in the glove box and not under all your camping gear.

Last #emfcamp we reunited bank cards, wallets, and phones with their owners, mostly within the hour.

We also reunited 1 blåhaj, a 5.8GHz antenna, 3 walkie talkies, and a backpack “with a half finished project in” with their owners.

It is a day for making yourself a nice hot beverage and sitting down with a marker pen or label maker and making sure the kit you’re likely to misplace is labelled.

We’re volunteers!

As the on site team are tent-wrangling and constructing edifices, the HQ is busy, the network pits are being cleared of ants and mud, and logistics are signing for a thousand and one deliveries (including 60kg of lentils), a reminder that you too could be part of this magnificent effort!*

If you go to http://www.emfcamp.org/volunteer you can find out more about helping while you’re here, or drop by our tent to say hi.

*there are so, so many more teams but a toot isn’t long enough
