What do I need to bring?

You will need to bring whatever you need to be comfortable in the dessert… it gets very hot in the middle of the day, very cold at night, wind can get crazy, you will want sun protection.

Check out the Burning Man web site for a thorough list of suggestions, and especially check out the event survival guide…

Your personal basics might include…

  • Sleeping structure (as simple as a tent, as over the top as an RV)
  • Sleeping bag and pad
  • Clothes for a wide variety of weather types
  • Goggles that seal to your face (wind storms)
  • Water supply (a gallon per day for the communal water supply and ½ to 1 gallon a day for your personal supply (drinking & shower) … check back later as we may be getting a communal water supply this year)
  • Tooth brush and such
  • Camp Shower (we’ll have a place to hang it and a catchbasin to catch the runoff)
  • Personal eating utensils (bowl, spoon, cup)
  • Moisturizer for skin, & vinegar in a spray bottle (especially feet which don’t like the alkalai dust)
  • Flashlight/head lamps
  • Bicycle
  • Snacks/Energy Bars
  • Camel Back or other backpack with a water bag & hose
  • Optional Items:

  • Yoga Mat

From here, bring what you will to make your and your fellow camper’s lives fulfilling.  The best things in life, of course aren’t things, but a massage table with pleasantly scented almond oil or fixin’s for afternoon martinis can be quite nice.
