You've read the Survival Guide so you know what you need to make it thru the week.

An investment in a decent size tent would be a good thing...at least 10' X 10' and tall enough to stand up in.

SFO to BRC: Get your transportation needs on the Rideshare page in these forums. Maybe book a bus from SFO to RNO...lots more ride opportunities to BRC from RNO. Check out GreenTortoise.com to see if they've got any spots open this late.

What day are you planning on leaving for Burning Man. Depending on when you plan to go you could probably ride with me.

There is mass transit to Reno.
More difficult form there if you don't have a ride.
There is burning van and biobus.

The usa does not have mass transit like Ireland.

Welcome.

You should be frightened.

What would Cu-Chullain do?
