    This happens every year. There really should be more offsite parking with prioritized shuttle services like they do for major airports, and encourage people to be somewhat prepared to hike in to the campsite.

    This would also create demand for “Sherpa” services. Heck I’d pay extra if I could get a mule to help hike in my camp gear.

      Lol, I’ve been a sherpa as a child then:

      Pedal powered toy with 4 broad wheels, two axles and trailer coupling

      Imagine this and a trailer and you have a lucrative teenage sherpa business.

      Situation: You booked festival tickets for you and your friends, bought a bunch of supplies (tent, chair, toast and several 24 beer pallets and you are stepping out of the train, completely tired and now realising that you still have to walk 2 km to the festival. But oh wonder, what’s there? 10 of these toy cars with trailer waiting there like vultures to fish for your money to transport all your stuff and if your lucky, some of you as well.

      Toycar mafia

        We had some guys build karts inside couches, which would ferry people around the festival for a donation. We all rode side saddle.
