Lucky thing we were back home, and not in the middle of the Mojave! So it was a bit of a tough year and we decided it was time to stop putting off our bucket-list items. My husband saw a photo of the sign from last year's Burn "You could die tomorrow." and that was it; he was convinced we needed to attend BM this year. So here we are. 
We are not in a camp, we will be free-camping (I think that's what it is called?) Being on the "outskirts" may be what suits us, as anti-consumerists and non-conformists. We will see. I am struggling a bit with outfit creating given our minimalistic lifestyle, but I am managing to create one or two outfits with items we either already have, or that I have acquired from friends and thrift stores. It's a lot of fun hunting and creating! But I hope I don't "burn out" before the Burn. heh heh.
Since we've lived in the desert for months at a time in a van with no running water and just solar power, we are pretty prepared, the only worry we have surrounds bringing the cannabis hubby needs medically to help with his stroke-related health issues. I've read enough surrounding that on here and on Reddit to be concerned and paranoid about bringing it with us onto federal BLM land, especially being non-US citizens who desire the ability to return to the US.
So that's something we have to work through.So greetings everyone! Now I'm off to read more about preparations, see you on the Playa!
