Thank you, indeed.

Cot for a single. Air mattress for > 1. Agree with the above. I've had and used both. The cot is great for storage if you're alone. If you bring or expect company, the air mattress is the way to go. You could always rig some basic structure to hold the air mattress if you wanted...in fact, I may try...

Can we request specific kinks?

Also, be aware that a car window is smashed every 15 minutes in the city. (I made that up but I'm close.)

Ratty, Does that mean in an hour and a half, *all* of my windows will be smashed?

Go to Harbor Freight tools. Buy a small utility trailer. Put it together. Build some basic sides for it. Attach it to your car (assuming you're not renting a car). Keep it or sell it when you get home. It's what I did after renting a van for a couple of years. Is it more expensive in the beginning? ...

Welcome! Try to stop by The Wanderer's Camp...we're usually at about 3:30 and D or so...we serve hot dogs and Gin & Tonic every day between 4ish and 6ish.

People wear something under their tutus?!?!?!

I would agree with most of the advice here. There are three categories of "stolen". Things that are taken. Things that are lost. Things that are misplaced, borrowed, left somewhere... I generally recommend not bringing anything that can't be replaced. Don't bring your antique family heirloom ring or...

Torque. Think torque.

All of the above is great advice. You’ll also want to bring rebar, or at the very least some very heavy duty tent stakes. The typical tent stakes provided with tents can easily pull out in strong winds sending your well prepared tent flying across the playa.

When you get there,stop by and see the Wanderers camp. Hot dogs and gin & tonic every day at 4:00!!

If you didn't bring enough for everybody... Honestly, make a menu. Be realistic. You know what you eat for breakfast now. I always bring enough that if I have too much, I can share with a new friend. Someone may be passing by and crackers may be just the thing. A gallon of water a day. If you put yo...

Hi Kori, I'm with the Wanderers. We're in a great neighborhood on the 3:30 area. Some of my absolute favorite camps on our side of town are DeMenthe (mojitos, misters and great DJs), Cereal Camp--serving...well, you get it..., Nothing Butt Art, of course, Barbie Death Camp and village, Champagne Lou...

Hi Kori and welcome!

If you happen to be on the 3:30 side of town, come by and visit the Wanderers. We're usually around 3:30 and G. We serve hot dogs and gin and tonic to weary playa wanderers every day starting at about 4:00 SPT (Standard Playa Time)...see you soon.

Grumpy,

Bring the whole clan by to visit The Wanderers. We're usually around 3:30 and G. Serving hot dogs and Gin & Tonic every day at about 4:00 for hungry playa wanderers.

Hola! Stop by The Wanderers camp for hot dogs and gin & tonic every day at about 4:00 pm. We're nothing if not polite as fuck.

Consider battery operated Led lights that are also called "fairy lights".

Skuzz... I think your suggestion works. First, you'll be surprised how quickly it disappears. Secondly, most everyone is an adult. They're responsible for what they will eat. I have an allergy to certain kinds of shell fish. As much as I love them, when I'm in a social situation, I pass on anything ...

Has anyone heard where DeMenthe is this year?

Dammmmn! You people are really prepping. Lessee, I um...I sort of pulled out some plastic bins today...yep. That's about it.

I realize this may not be possible for everyone, but I would suggest camping on your own and while at the event actively seek people for social connections. I'm not saying you have to be a social butterfly, but engage in conversation, invite someone to share a snack or meal, see what their tastes ar...

You know, I have used a Springbar tent for the last 6 years. All canvas. It holds up extremely well, does not allow any dust and is very roomy. I had the manufacturer see an exterior flap in the window to replace the interior flap so that when I opened it, the dust that had collected inside the mesh...

LA, currently, Virginia native here. You'll be fine. Get in touch.

The Wanderers camp has been placed at 3:30 and F. We serve hot dogs and toxic tonic to weary playa wanderers every day from 4:00 to 6:00ish. That's right...every day!!

I have rented a cargo van from Enterprise the last 3 years with no mileage fees and no cleaning charges, but I hear that going forward you will need to rent from the truck rents, site rather than from the car rental site.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to camp by yourselves the first time or two or more. You will get out what you put on, generally speaking and will fit in where you should. Remember, you *make* friends. Seldom do you find them.

Yes, got mine the other day! This is the absolute earliest I've ever gotten mine. The email was 4 days ahead of the arrival of the actual tickets.

I have, or need a great idea on how to avoid something that is the very reason, purpose or biproduct of Burning Man. I will discuss in mind numbing detail and hope I become a sage or warlord or some other mystical creature. Wait...I have to bring what?!?!?!?!

Oh! Any idea where you'll be placed? I'd love to give my brain a chance to unwind!!
