Hi, I have felt the pull to attend, and was awarded a ticket for this years burn. Although this is way out of my comfort zone, I feel the risk:reward ratio is super high so I am going to send it. I will be going solo, and do not have a camp yet. I have construction experience, and would like to offer my skills to help build BRC. Any guidance would be appreciated!
I love to garden, and build things
Heldeep radio is my religion

Welcome, please read the survival guide. Read the main site, I think you can search for volunteer opportunities there too.
If you are familiar with camping, it's hot weather camping, and you need to add a few things more: shade, all the water you need, and a way to transport all your trash and grey water off playa responsibly.
Solo Bad Ass is a way to do it, if you don't align with a camp.

I align with everyone and at the same time no one. Solo is most likely what I will do. Trying to find the perfect tent that also wont break the bank. Got myself a 12v fridge and solar panel and plan to make a swamp cooler

Re: Un-burned soul
this post kinda sucks.. I dont know what "reward" i was looking for. Actually now that I think of it, I truly believed that my life was going to magically get better or some miracle would happen. On the contrary I just realized how fucked up I am as a person, this past year I have gone deeper into darkness and have not really noticed any progress in my life. This is the most frustrating thing for a human to experience is no progress. Its basically death.. I thought i was cool, but i guess not cool enough. I am not going back this year because I feel a major disconnect. I feel I was cursed, like there is no spiritual alignment anymore, not part of the tribe.
I need to get my mind right before thinking of coming back here. My mind is messed up. It honestly has nothing to do with anyone else. Sure I am cooler than most people, and a lot of burners are pompus assholes who think they are special when in reality they are just loser drug users.. But yeah ill work on my mindset before coming back. Maybe this wasn't for me.. Or maybe I just don't truly know who I am. because Burning man isnt just a music event/rave... its something much more.. There are not just one group of people there.. its not just partying. I think If i was more rooted in myself and knew who I was instead of trying to be the guy I wish i was in high school, I would of had a better time.. I have always been the guy to be friends with everyone... I just wanted to be cool.
