Are you planning on doing a bit of camping this winter? Oh no, I’m not talking about the great outdoors: I’m talking the hard pavements of the streets while waiting in line for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Granted, you don’t have to wait in line anymore—what with reserved seating and all—but if you want to do it for a cause or just for old time’s sake, here are some camping supplies that will do you good as you journey on to Episode VII.

Hydration is key, especially if you’re planning on seeing a marathon of all 6 movies and The Force Awakens. This water bottle comes in both blue and red and looks exactly like a lightsaber hilt making it perfect for cosplay and staying hydrated.

Waiting in line takes patience and if you have it then channel it, focus and create a finely detailed needlepoint wookiee pillow. When you’re finished, use it for street napping!
