I will be in the "No way I can pack all that crap and get on my cheap ass plane" area of the grounds. (the " mein-zelt-steht-schon" section). We will have a VA state flag outside our tents

I used their servicies in 2016 but this year, the price doubled for the same tent! So we will buy a tent in Hamburg instead

Yeah that's crazy the 2 person tent is now 200 euro, we paid 120 in 2016

Maybe I have gotten too use to "Merican" pricing on everything... for what I paid.. I think it is cheap as hell (Ok.. seeing now what tent packages are to just buy in hamburg.... uhh. .yea.. I understand...)

There isn't that much difference between American and Canadian pricing, is it?
And now I'm going to get killed by the Canadiens.

For 200 euro right now it would cost me 300ish $CAD vs 225 USD, so yeah it's cheaper for them.
But it doesn't really matter to be honest,120 Euro for a tent was already pricey and now 200 Euro for the same tent is absurd.

Especially when you can get the same 2 person tent for a 1/4 of the price.
I even brought my own in 2017, I bought it for 30 $CAD (20ish Euro) at walmart and did the job perfectly.

200e for a tent you can use only for few nights really is a lot

What's the weight limit on your flights?

All this talk of tents just reminds me I haven't put mine together since Summer Breeze and I can't remember how to do it.

I checked bag.. 50 lbs.. and one carry on... and since we are doing a few days in Hamburg before... room is tight. But had some good lessons learned from last year of what I overpacked and did not need.. etc.

That's pretty much my limit for my flights within Europe. I did a practice pack yesterday and it came to around 20kg. My bag includes a tent, pillow, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, a chair and a blanket. I may or may not send some stuff home before Wacken though, we'll see. I won't need so many clothes after Metal Days.

Time to practice then!
I did mine a 3 weeks ago, it still works fine.
And we're 2 this year, so I don't need to worry.

 

[StrungOut84]

Well 50lbs is pretty much the standard for International flights. Unless you bring a lot of useless stuff there shouldn't be an issue for the weight limit going away for a week.

I'm going 2 weeks in Europe including Wacken and I'll use the same backpack I use when I go to Wacken only.

True. I have tomorrow and Thursday, then I run away from home.

Emirates allows 32kg. I'm always baffled when people manage to carry more than this.
