Walmart has atv googles for 12 bucks or you can get the night vision googles for $8200.

Find me an electric big wheels and I in.

Give the parts list from the link in the previous post to Lowes and they will pull the items for you and you can pick them up on the way out to the playa. Don't forget to order a hammer and pvc cutter (cutter is option, but is inexpensive and makes life easier).

You will be fine. In five years I have never used my brakes. But I am slow. That being said - people do tend to cut in front of you at the intersections at night when the roads tend to be bike congested - there are so many blinkies, bike lights and e-wire that it would be nice to have some brakes in...

Put the phones number from the Save Mart stores recycle centers in your phone contacts list now in case you getlost and can't find the center. Enter "Save Mart" in mapquest to gel all the reno locations - print the map and tape it with clear packing tape to the inside of your trunk lid or whereever ...

It the best three hundred dollars I ever spent. I come every year and when I look back over the past year and reflect on what I spent my money on, I can't think of anything that gave me greater pleaser than the money I spend on my annual pilgrimage to playa mecca.

You might want to up your water. I always take 20 gallons just for me. I usually have some left over. But it really feels good at the end of hot sticky day to throw a whole gallon in a bucket and take a sponge bath. I like the individual 1 gallong jusgs because you can put one on your roof in the mo...

Let's drop the myth that we are self reliant while attending Burning Man. I was sitting by my humble tent when a mamoth RV pulled up next to me. A few days later, another vehicle arrived to service the behomoth motor vehicle. Nothing wrong with being prepared for harsh conditions. But to pretend tha...

I have never seen any. How much do they get each year and what do they spend it on. I think it is another BM urban myth and my guess is it goes for a party after all the BM's have left or that it goes for Larry's hoighty toighty meet and greet for BM vips.

No lube - leave it alone. it is pointless at best.

ipod - 2 nanos
extra headphones
chocolate
licorice
dust pan/whisk broom
2 buckets.
Serenghetti sunglasses/ spare set
pajamas
diet coke

I bought a child's wading pool - easy to pack and almost always on sale by the end of the summer. I thing I paid about $5 for mine. No assembly - no black plastic , no 2/4's no pvc - just inflate and use. I didn't bring a pump - just lung power

There is only one solution. Install a trailer hitch and use a bike rack that inserts into the hitch. Every other bike I have tried has had the scratch problem - even an expensive bones. The hitches are cheaper than a new paint job and once you have one, you will use it over and over.

It's the small sledge hammer at the bottom of my tent bag that freaks them out the most. And of course the old playa dust sets off the chemical alarms.

Not in my experience. why take a chance? the rebar pins at Lowes are cheap. It's not like you can run down to the store and get some in the middle of Burning Man. Bring some vice grips to get them out when you leave. Or just bury them which ever is easier.

I know we have the walk-in camping area. So don't tell me about that. I don't hate rvs or loud music or whatever. But every year, I throw up my humble tent and then without fail an old rv will pull up and set up camp. And it's alway the kind of rv that seems to need to run its ac 22 hours a day. I e...

Don't take the car. Your car is a work of art on wheels. After the burn, it will only be fit to be a mutant vehicle.

Don't get cheap googles - go to a ski shop and buy a closeout or last years googles - will be way better than the inexpensive kind. Your eyes are important.

Go, but don't inhale.

Go for sturdy, simple and reliable - forget about rad - leave the ego at the gate.

a. Let them do their own cooking.
b. potatoes and sweet potatoes - sweet corn.
c. peppers
d. hominy

Use the tuna in foil pouches - way better. I like fresh pineapples and green bananas.

The first year, I went to BM, I bought a cooler, but never did get around to buying any ice for it. Used it as a chair. Worked great!

Forget the Marmot - buy a canvas Skybar - you won't regret it. I have brought the nylon tents in the past and every year, they have been torn apart by the winds, no mater how musch time and effort I take to secure them. The extra money you spend on an appropriate tent can make all the difference, as...

One year I was lucky enough to camp next to a couple from Nevada. They brought homemade chocolate chip cookies that they kept in a plain tupperware container. They were marvelous and were just as good on Thursday, as they had been the previous Monday.

I have never snuck in, but I have snuck out. In five years of attendance, I have never stayed for the actual Burn, but have always left early - how much fun can one person stand?

A spoon and a cup.
