Hell yes you should go!lunaazul wrote:Hello everyone, just wanted to see if any of you guys will help us decide if we should go to burning man, at first we were very happy to go because there was a 3rd person going and he was experienced, now its down to just the 2 of us (2 girls) and never been in a desert and also have no experience in the outdoor world, :( we really want to go, but i am concerned about safety and other issues that might arise over there. specially being on our own. can someone reply and tell me what to expect, and how we can be better prepared for the experience?
what should we do? i think will will be an awesome experience.
Be sure you have the basics covered: a warm place to sleep at night, enough water, and enough food.
Heck, I went with a girlfriend a few years ago and we didn't even have a shade structure. We rented a mini-van and that ended up being our camp. (We did stick some solar lights around the outside though to dress it up, heh) ... You can always seek shade at center camp.
If you trust yourself to keep yourself alive in the desert for 5 days in extreme temps with 30-50 thousand other people... then come on down. It's a blast... and either way, a unique experience. If worse comes to worse, you can leave... but you might just fall in love with the playa like the rest of us fools.
