Want to Volunteer on a Camp!
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2018 9:51 am
Sorry for my english...
This is my first time! After years finally im going!! My plan so far is go by my own, i know one of the basic principles is Radical Self-reliance so at the beginning i did my plan like this, after getting my ticket trough the low income program i manage to book the "only" direct flight from Mexico to Reno, everything was sold out, the only dates available were from Monday 27th to Monday the 3th.
My original plan is to rent a car all by myself so i can put my shelter by the car and have a place to crash and lock my stuff, the airline is making me really hard to bring my camp gear, they wanna charge me insane rates for the extra luggage or overweight i might have, at the end of the story if i rent a car, i can manage to just get my basics and get a tent on walmart over there, since it will be cheaper than paying overweight here. (20 dlls per extra Kg)
I can be by my own with no problems and have a great time for sure, there is a slim chance a friend join if he manage to get a ticket on the next sale or weeks later on craiglist, but i cant wait for him to do my plans.
I would love also to be part of a larger group and a place i can put my shelter, willing to participate and contribute with camp dues in order to be fair with the rest of the crew members, my main problem is that im arriving "late" to burning man, and many camps require to be early to set up the camp, and i completely agree with that, im unable to change my flight since i bought the lowest fare, and there is no more flights anyway.
So pretty much this is the main reason im looking for a camp, its a little overwhelming for me arriving to another country solo and without all my camp gear i need or water to wash my face and personal use, i do know i have to bring my own food & beverages to the camp anyway, i know talking to people at the playa won't be an issue for me, but been a part of a larger group, help with some activities on the camp in order to meet more people will be great! And of course having a place to rest when its needed.
So my real question is... Can you recommend me any camp?
