random nyc burner 1st timer looking for camp

I have a bike.
i'm 42 (malkovich) and relaxed, useful and seeking balanced vibes, not too crazy.
invited by a buddy but his camp is either full or not so organized i can easily join in yet.
happy to join in your camp activities. money/chip-in, not a big problem.
also, I arrive in reno 8am sat 27th. will come relatively prepared, but hoping to avoid lugging my own water in.
have spent 8 months living outdoors many years ago so, low maintanance, will be comfortable on the salt-flats.

Actually, it might be better to camp by yourself for the first time and look for people you connect with.
The truth is more important than the facts.

It’s a harsh environment. If somebody let you down only a week out that’s rugged. If you were never planning to bring your own survival essentials, um. Somebody might mention, ok I’ll mention it… radical self reliance is a real expectation. Not all camps do care and feeding.

I saw on a burner fb water containers in Sparks at Nevada Millennium 775 345-4558. You’ll need water for sure. You can buy ice on playa, if you keep it clean it’s drinkable as melt. You could bring a 2 gal suitcase of water, that has a spigot, cut a flap in the top and add your ice on playa. If you can bring a bike, you can probably manage some water, and a cooler, you could try a soft cooler with some clean big ziplocks for clean ice melt. Here’s the link to the survival guide (a decent checklist) and the main site.

Great folks in open camping. Don’t assume you won’t have super people to hang with just because you aren’t in a camp. Good Luck! Happy Burn!
