Please discuss your plans with the village coordinators early on, especially for large villages and elaborate structures. For example, a permit is required for canopies larger than 75 square meters or structures taller than 5 meters. Structures must be constructed in such a way that they are not a fire hazard. Let us know in your application if you have bigger plans. +## Personal Tents +You will need a place to sleep. For most this means a camping-tent. Please be considerate and bring the smallest tent you feel comfortable in. You will not spend much time in it anyways. Please be aware that the ground may be harder and less even than expected. So bring an air mattres or equivalent. Also please test your camping gear. + +If you currently do not own a tent: +* We hate single use tents. They are an ecological and logistical nightmare. Tents are not recyclable. Yes cardboard tents exist but we still consider them more harmful than good. +* Unfortunately there will be no personal Tents to rent or buy from at the campsite +* Ask your frinds/family/hackspace. Lots of people have tents that they seldomnly use. +* Rent one from an outdoor gear shop (we know Globetrotter does this) +* Buy a reusable (normal) Tent and keep, sell or donate it afterwards. + ## Vehicles Cars or similar vehicles generally do not belong on the event space. Exceptions are made for vehicles that are an integral part of a village, i.e. not just for sleeping. Examples would be a mobile hackspace in a bus, a water cannon with a protest background or a car whose CAN bus is being hacked. An open hardware project with active development on the camp is welcome (after confirmed registration), a cool DIY project alone is not enough.
