What kind of power station/Generator is useful at the camp?

[Christianbythesword]

I have been to too many festivals in total darkness and silence during nighttime, so my question is to those who use a power station or generator driven by either gasoline or diesel: How much power do I need for a stereo (not too big), some christmas lights and a toaster?
What kind of power station do u guys use in festival times?

The ones that DON'T work. They're definitely the best.

Why do you need electricity? For your cells? You can go to the Wacken office and have them charged there.
You want music? If you want to bring a generator, that means you go by car. That's enough.
Too dark? A torch will do miracles, and it'll last at least the week.

So... on the end, you don't need one. They're noisy, smelly, boring, bothering and useless anyways. (not to mention, polluting)

But that's just my $0.02

Just go to the powered sites

This year we camped in the new "powered" sites at Wacken. A bit pricy but at least we could plug in our fridge and have cold beers all the time and plug in our stereo for round the clock metal without batteries or fart-arsing around with generators.

Always nice to wake up in the morning with a fresh breakfast! Toast makes it even better!

I want electricity for electric lights around the campsite, some bigger speakers but my car's and there are silent ones too. We had some neighburs at this year's festival with a yamaha (I think?) that didn't make any noise at all! Pretty awesome. Ofc there are ones that makes hella lot of noise but I don't want one of those.
But maybe it'll ruin the whole "festival feeling" if I bring all those luxuries!

I'll look around and do some more thinking, I've got 240 days to decide!

Oh that's what the mini grills are for. They made a halfway decent pizza, I bet they'd toast bread too.

Personally though I enjoyed going to the store and picking up a few cans of what looked like peaches and had those for breakfast.

Total silence? It was never quiet when I went...Music all around, so just go to somebody elses camp to chill out instead of being a lone ranger.
