Each year, SVU brings an inflatable bath to keep the beverages cold. The first day this bath seems quite clean, but during the weekend it might get a little filthy. However, this does not mean that you can pollute the bath. When in need of a toilet, please use the toilets that are literally next to the SVU tent, since peeing in the SVU bath is not appreciated.

Are you in for a snack? Then don’t think about going to the Burger King while using a shared scooter. We get that having a nice and warm midnight snack is the thing you want during the night, but we don’t support drunk driving or crashing a Felyx or Check into the Hajraa terrain.

A thing that is definitely a waste of your time is trying to wash your hair. The showers are fine, but after your regular shower you will definitely get a beer shower, so why bother? Just make sure you reserve the bathroom when coming home, because you will need that. 

We already told you to bring all your sleeping gear, but just to put more emphasis on this subject, please don’t steal somebody’s sleeping gear. It is rude and you won’t make friends when doing so. If you do happen to lack sleeping gear, please ask nicely if somebody will share theirs.

It happens a lot, but it is most definitely a no go and a waste of beer: beer throwing. It’s not only a waste of beer, but also a real danger. Ever been hit with a plastic cup full of beer in the eye? Believe us, it’s no fun at all and you might end up at the first aid as well. Besides that, you won’t make friends with it too.

Another thing that isn’t the smartest to do, is to swim in the pond. It might seem like a great idea, an evening dive, but you’ll end up soaking wet ánd cold. Besides that, the water isn’t as clean as you would like, so we highly recommend not to.

Everybody loves a good thuuter. In the field or somewhere else, that doesn’t matter. Whilst thuuteren at Hajraa is highly recommended, it is not recommended to do so in the SVU Tent. Everybody knows that ‘Ketsen doe je thuis of in de tent’ stands for ‘Thuuteren you do at home or in the (Hajraa) tent, but it is not advised to do so unless you want to be spotted while doing the deed. A good alternative is to go to the other’s tent instead; here you will still be able to get your nightly exercise, you have more privacy and you won’t be the story of the day the day after.

As a final advice, don’t have too many expectations of the weekend. You’re obviously going to have a great time, but don’t put your expectations too high, because you can enjoy it the most.
