🎒SCAGS’ EUROPEAN SURVIVAL GUIDE (EKC edition)™
(aka how not to die at EKC and maybe even win!)

Yo. You’re going to Europe. For kendama. That’s wild. Here’s your official, unofficial, barely legal checklist for surviving the European Kendama Championship (EKC) without losing your kendama, your dignity, or your socks.

⸻

✈️ PRE-FLIGHT PANIC CHECK

✅ Passport — not expired, not in your sock drawer, not left in the Uber
✅ GoPro or something you can strap to your head that shoots in 4K
✅ Extra kendamas — TSA will think it’s a weapon (they’re not totally wrong)
✅ Stickers to slap on every train station, hostel fridge, grom, bathroom stall, and street lamp
✅ Power adapter — Europe doesn’t care about your American plugs, bro
✅ Hoodie you can sleep in / play in / cry in
✅ Reusable water bottle or GTFO 

⸻

🧦 THOSE WHO PACK LIGHT ALWAYS REGRET IT LIST

✅ 10x socks (yes, TEN. You’re sweating like it’s finals every day)
✅ Extra underwear — one per country visited, plus one for the airport
✅ Nail clippers (Trust me.)
✅ Portable charger — this is your lifeline
✅ Sunglasses and gum so you can hang and pretend you’re not hag

⸻

🎥 CLIPS OR DIE TRYIN’ KIT

✅ Phone tripod (no, your wallet isn’t stable enough)
✅ GoPro chest rig or head strap = POV bangers
✅ Caption ideas ready, because “vibes in 🇫🇷” ain’t gonna cut it 
✅ Dropbox and HD space cleared — your clips will be dummy thicc
✅ Stupid hat or outfit piece that makes you instantly recognizable

⸻

🌍 EURO STREETS SMARTS 101

✅ Know how to say “Where’s the bathroom?” in 5 languages
✅ Don’t clap on the wrong beat in the club (they will know)
✅ When ordering a drink, just say “I’ll have a beer” and you’ll get the house faves
✅ Learn how to say “It’s a kendama. No, not a bong. Yes, I’m serious.”

⸻

🏆 EKC CHAMP MINDSET CHECK

✅ Hydrate. Then hydrate again. Coffee is not water.
✅ Warm up like your joints are 65 years old…. Thats 34 in scag years. 
✅ Don’t film 8 hours the day before your comp run. Save the sauce.
✅ Be loud for your squad. Europe loves the hype energy!
✅ Make friends, not just content — vibes matter

⸻

💀 BONUS ROUND: THINGS THAT WILL 100% HAPPEN

☠️ You’ll lose at least one kendama on the trip
☠️ You’ll eat one “mystery meat” sandwich at a gas station
☠️ Your teammate will forget their entire backpack
☠️ You’ll cry at least once
☠️ You’ll gain 12 new best friends and 37 “you had to be there” stories

Have fun! <3
