What NOT to do

- overpack food ... each of the 2024 Balkon camps took in more food than they ate leading to the camp derig including a 15kg tackle bag of food that, exhaustingly, had to be dragged back out. To help with this, a) try to give time between camps so food can be adjusted based on what is already in, b) check with camp-goers if they are taking personal food so the group food can be reduced accordingly

- Pack the kitchen sink - think minimal eg if you think you will use 2 18650 batteries then pack 2 spare, not 4

- Pack the kitchen sink - think minimal eg if you think you will use 2 x 18650 batteries then pack another 2 as spares, not 4

- Leave stuff you brought down to camp and didn't use that you have persuaded yourself somebody else might find handy - nobody wants to have to drag it out

- Hammocks were trialled in Balkonhoehle in 2024; they were rigged well but all 3 who tried them found them much colder than the tent
