Prepping for Summer LARPing
8:00 AM Posted In gaming , geek , LARP Edit This 0 Comments »
While summer may have already hit some parts of the continent, the
northern Pacific coast is still taking it's sweet time, as usual. Here
are some ideas on how to get you prepared.
1. Water
When in doubt, drink more water. My gnome wizard carries a leather water bottle on her belt, and I cannot tell you how much I love that thing. My healer has a knitted cozy for hers. I also make all my potions out of mini water bottles to make sure that people get water and because some people in my group can't have energy drinks, are diabetic, etc.
2. Sunscreen
There's no reason not to us it. Use a stronger SPF than you think you need as it might get sweated/washed off or you might not have a chance to reapply. I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch because I hate greasy lotions and makeup/prosthetics can be applied over it.
3. Bugspray
Mosquitoes were so bad this last weekend, that I killed at least 20 of them that were trying to eat one of my friends through his t-shirt. I use all-natural, citronella based bugspray, and got away with only two bites where I forgot to apply it. Being the only one who thought to use it, I'm tempted to start selling it on-site by the spray or by the bottle.
