    I've never seen the need or use for a mirror while camping. However, if there's ever been a time when I need to check something out (look for ticks on my back, or see how badly I just cut up my face in a fall) I've taken a photo of myself with my digital camera, and then zoomed and panned in the screen on the camera to see how things look.

    That said, I'd think that as long as you pick your outfits ahead of time, you shouldn't need to use a mirror at the music festival.

    Andrew.

    Could you find the prettiest (single) lady in area and ask her to check your pleats? It would probably be the strangest introduction line she has ever heard.

    Well we do get a little off topic.

    I camp to hear stage music, and to pick (guitar) and sing around the campfire until the wee small hours, and to enjoy the company of old and new friends.
    And to PARTY -- with no closing time or need for a designated driver.

    Anyway, I found some mirrored plastic panels at US Plastics. Size 12” x 24”. A few of them strung together ought to do it.

    Last year at Fergus I considered taking an inflatable rubber dinghy so I could bathe in the privacy of my own tent! Now to add a disco ball to the roof of my tent for atmosphere...

    Hmmm, I don't know whether to warn Chef about Nighthawk, or to warn Nighthawk about Chef...
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I'm definitely one of the no mirror when camping crowd. I am out there to get away from the city and other people's expectations.

    @Andrew Breecher: Where in the San Juans? That's my old stomping grounds out there. I was raised in Durango and have been all over down there. You're definitely in for a treat.
