* Is it a hidden paradisethere space for 100-200 persons?* Can we acquire drinking water somewhere nearby?* Free camping place for 100+ people Are there possibilities to put up their tents and be loud all night. dumpster dive or is food cheap?* Do we need a permission and How easy/difficult is it easy to get without having anybody really responsible/organizing reach the eventplace? * Is it possible to stay hidden enough? Do locals mind? In Slovakia we were kicked out from 3 locations before we finally found good one (and that was the best one). Sometimes camping for 3 people How secluded is just fine, while for 100+ it's a problem. Private lands (such as the farm in Lithuania) are great if we can get permission. Also locations where there was a festival prior to us are great, since they might have all the permissions/facilities there already. Sometimes bold enough places with enough people are just fine — such as "200 hippies camping under eiffel tower for two nights", what could've they done to usplace?* Is Can we just stay at the place or does it possible belong to make open fire? (No trees too nearbysomebody, running water nearby, lawsdo we need a permission?)* Is it okay to Can we dig multiple shitpits nearby for like 200+ peopleshit pits there?* Did you just found a herding place for cows and they weren't Can YOU be there when you checked it, but appear first morning?to help organizing in the beginning? (Slovakia).* Food? Nearby dumpster diving locations are very nice but not necessary. Any kind of small village shop in hitchable/walkable 4km or so distance What else is fine.* Drinkable waterimportant? Check if there are abandoned wells, springs or a shop nearby.* River, pond or lake nearby enough for washing. Fantastic to have it just next to us, okay to have 2-3km away.
