There is still just enough time to arrange those last few bits.

You need to be able to carry everything you need for days of camping. However, it also needs to be lightweight and compact.

So, after working out how much booze and wet wipes you can pack, what else will help your festival adventure go smoothly.

Stikbox is pocket size and features a full length selfie stick/kickstand.

The smartphone case is lightweight and compact while still being able to pull out a 28-inch selfie stick.

The case is just 0.6-inches deep, and holds the collapsed aluminum sections of a 28.3-inch-long selfie stick.

When you need it, just pull it out, swivel your phone, adjust the angle, and shoot.

Equally useful is the kickstand feature that allows your phone to be propped up.

Soon available for £39 from Stikbox.com

When folded it looks like a small, inconspicuous cylinder the size of a beer can.

The real magic of Sitpack happens when you unfold the cylinder revealing a 13-inch wide seat.

Pull out the 34.25 inch telescopic leg which can be adjusted to your height and your seat awaits.

It can support the weight of over 286 lbs. so is suitable for all shapes and sizes

SitPack is available in five stylish colours.
