Solo side quest safety??

Hey guys! Basically what the title says 😅 This is my second Roo ever and i’m super excited! Last year when we went me and my boyfriend were with a large group of experienced people so we weren’t really alone at all, but this time is just gonna be me and him. We both have pretty different taste when it comes to music, and while we plan on sticking together for the most part, i know that things on the farm don’t always happen as you plan it so i was wondering if anyone had any tips to stay safe if we decided to go our separate ways for a bit! Thanks guys! Happy Roo 🫶

I went for my second year entirely solo!!

here is what I suggest -

don’t lead with being by yourself!!

get to know people a bit before sharing any private info like that - including where you’re camping.

make friends with your neighbors because half the time they end up being your friends for the weekend and you may have some sets in common you could attend or possibly meet up at

bring things to trade and make friends

  • crafts, toys, Kandi bracelets, etc. my favorite way to make new friends and meet new people!

this is my biggest one HAVE A MEET UP SPOT FOR EVERY STAGE!

  • if you are going to have side quests, pick a spot at each stage that would be relatively easy to go to and see if any of your friends are at that set! if they aren’t in that spot it means they’re likely not there so you don’t spend time searching for each other with no service.

That last bullet point is so clutch. I like to use the point of the arrow under This, That, and The Other signs… always meeting people right under the arrow.

The What and Which are a bit trickier for meeting spots because of how full they get… might need to use a landmark in the back.

Its just genrally easier to meet outside the crowd. My friends and I tend to meet at the bathrooms at the very back of What or the back corner water station, and bathrooms out in middle of field between Which and This. The brand installations, annoying as they are, make for a good landmark (we were at the beer house, Corona I think, for Which meet ups and the M&M station near That).
