How much more?

Welcome SDB. I hear you on wanting to make in through life with no regrets. Burning Man is one of those places you'll be talking about for years. The great grandkids will be hearing stories about it.

Keep preparing and we'll see you in August.

The immediacy of a city of 70,000 people that only exists for a week is quite amazing. Like so many first timers who have read as much as they could, looked at countless photos and viewed hours of eye popping videos, once you arrive you'll realize it's nothing like you expected. You will be finding ...

Nice insult, I have been all over the website, youtube and other websites. Thanks again for clarifying this for me. I was just not sure for where to buy them and now I do. So Jerry, now that you're here and you've been welcomed by the best, tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from? What ins...

You will need to set up a Burner Profile here: https://profiles.burningman.org/ and this will give you a portal to buy tickets. You will need to preregister for the tickets.

WrenchMonkey, you're 100% correct. Elliot has been on the playa with bikes for somewhere around 10 years. He transports an entire camp along with dozens of bikes to the playa. In addition, he pays out of his pocket a lot of money for virtually every repair part bikes will need. In every year but thi...

It's interesting to note that playa area where Burning Man takes place was once the dumping ground for junk cars, appliances and household trash for the locals. It was a party area where thousands of beer bottles and cans were just tossed on the ground. Burning Man was instrumental in cleaning this ...

Pappachuck, have you investigated running an electrical line from the tiny hamlet of Gerlach, just down the road? I'm no electrical scientist, but looking on a map it seems to be a pretty clear shot right into the back side of the town. Just the money saved on the ticket for the fuel truck driver wo...

Pappachuck, please let us know where you'll be camped so we can catch the big show.

5K gallons are for 8 days of event + 3 days of construction before the gates open + 10% safety. This for everything, vehicles, generator and compressor. If you figure the event opening on Sunday afternoon and you sprint to find an open camping area spot, you'll need at least 3+ days to set up. Wind...

The real question for you should be, is 5000 gallons of fuel enough? You're going to be very far from civilization and you don't want to be caught short in the middle of the week.

To the OP, do you have these 13 RVs reserved already? Local RV rental places run out pretty quickly for the week of Burning Man.

After some moderator questions, this thread is being restored.

There was another thread that slithered on to eplaya. It started with almost illiterate writing on the part of the poster. It quickly evolved into full blown camp layouts with charts, graphs and maps. I call bullshit! there is way too much money going into the pockets of these camp organizers. HUNDR...

Since there is absolutely no commerce on the playa, you may quickly catch on how the gifting economy works. Take for instance the Tuna Guys. They fish for large tuna to bring to the burn. It costs them quite a bit to bring this all together, but once they get to Black Rock City they cook hundreds of...

In the spirit of gifting, which is one of the 10 principles, you should consider offering up electricity to all the neighbors camped around you in a 700 foot radius. You can't cross or trench across streets, but you'll have groups that will back up to yours in the open camping area. Bring lots of 12...

You should absolutely drop by the Eplaya Meet & Greet, Wednesday evening beginning at 6 p.m. at Barbie Death Village You'll have us all together at once, drinking absinthe, and giving you what we perceive as the truth. Whatever that may be. I'm hopeful that doc will not try to poison me. :shock:

Hello what time, that's a nicely done camp layout. How many people are in your group, or are you planning on having? At our camp, we work hard on a very welcoming and inviting frontage. Signage, lighting, art pieces, an artcar etc. We added a Welcome Center structure with a guest sitting area with s...

I am really glad to hear the kind words. There is that delicate balance of valuable information, gentle ribbing, humor, camaraderie and outright snark. With Facebook, Instagram and other popular forums available, we are really working hard to be true to the mission. Over the past several weeks, I ha...

Great news. We've moved back into our 2017 location after the sanitation crews finished hosing down, disinfecting and cleaning that filthy place out. Shiny new fixtures and furniture. Enjoy! I'll leave the 2018 bar open for several days, so you all can gather your belongings and move over to our new...

Just saying: 5 mph is too slow even for a bicycle human-powered. Pedaled bike on the open playa are not really subjected to speed limits. I had to install a GPS speedometer in my artcar to keep it in check. The big problem is that it quickly becomes unsafe to have vehicles speeding along with pedes...

Oh yeah, absolutely never agree to be someone’s ride home unless they’re camping with you.
And really, I wouldn’t be too anxious to fill my rig with strangers for the trip to begin with. The only good to come of that is the story.

Excellent advice Captain!

It's my hope to join you all at Burning Man this year. Like many, I've been intrigued by Black Rock City for years, but whenever I'd mention my interest to friends, I was often met with words of caution ("you know they sacrifice a person every year!" - my roommate) Good news on the human sacrifice....

That's a fuckton of tears. Good thing they're a renewable resource, eh?

We should plan a memorial at the Temple.

A simple search turned this up. I hope it helps.

Welcome Little Elephant. Your family is right here. 70,000 will be showing up on the playa. Be open and emotionally accessible and family will fall from the sky. Bring things to share. Walk into a crowded bar on the playa and have something that takes over the place. This is where your burner creati...

I do not want to rush everything and conflict with my college. Wait what? A college student looking to do a $50,000 one week adventure in the desert? Far be it for anyone to count your finances, but as a student, you may be partying your future away. More importantly, you're boxing yourself into 3 ...

Well, to make you feel better I do not plan to come on 2019. It is not enough time to actually plan everything. Six months is plenty of time to plan a trip to Burning Man. You could make it an awesome adventure with everything you need in two suit cases. A 4 person tent, sleeping bag, all your clot...
