I never step foot on the playa without my wetsuit, small baseball bat, and magnifying glass!

Great insight all around! My girlfriend and I had a good laugh at the last post by maladroit! :lol: It's a bit more like I let her run with her fantasy... or at least do a poor job trying to. What would a forum be without a bit of psychoanalysis! Preparing for the meltdown (as much as possible) is a...

I like the two tents idea (not in case we brake up as originally discussed but for a Sunny D's changing area suggestion). I'm also building a yort (albiet a small one). The portable fan, portable chairs, and vitamins are also a keepers! I'll do my best with the alcohol intake. Our trick for over dri...

More of what I'm looking for is tips on things to bring that could make her more comfortable.

Some of this probably stresses her out more, but I figure it's best to get it out of the way. She is genuinely interested in going. I...

We've been together for five years. I went to the burn twice before we started dating and have since been traveling to other countries with her instead. We are used to going into stressful situations together, but it does come with a little extra work. She's always wanted to go to Burning Man and ev...

I'm bringing my girlfriend to the playa for the first time. The rugged environment is one of my favorite parts of the burn... but I'd like to ease my girlfriend into the experience. She's a bit high maintenance although she will go on backpacking trips with me (as long as I carry all the gear). I'd ...
