Get some protein bars, eat one each morning. It helps for just socializing an talking for hours and hours in the desert, and getting your voice back. I gave out all that I had to the good people working booths, and got the quoted reaction. "The best things I put in my mouth all weekend of DEFCON": If not responsible for anything, hell, you're in Sin City, do what you want. Just my stance after six years, and probably why the goons don't drink on the job: not that they can't, just that they are responsible. Note: I've stopped drinking for the duration of the con, since it is easy to get into a bad spot, dehydrated, and I've got contests depending on my help (plus you get to see more cool things). Minibottles are great too, you can get them at home and pack them into toiletries. I generally have two flasks on me, one of water, one of moonshine, etc. But one flask must be water at all times.

I've found a lot of times there are water coolers, but the cups ran out. I have a couple of these water flasks You are going to want to drink the water down, and refill this when you can. Water flask - Go and get a durable bottle that you'll use the whole weekend to refill.(Note, I add and update this every year, and then save it because the question will always be asked again).įluids (if any tl:dr - keep fluids up at all cost) Makes for a lot of walking and a lot of time staying put at a booth. I'm dispensing my advice from this being year seven, and from the angle of being a worker/support and manning a booth (go /r/dcdarknet).
