DIY burn this year

[amino1]

Hi guys, I'm Noah and I plan to be in attendance this year after several years' absence (2007 was my virgin burn). I came with a group of people last time who all seemed to know what they were doing, and I relied heavily on a friend who did most of the planning and logistics for me.

But this time I will return alone, sans valuable know-how I would have already, had I not been so dependent on others.

It will be a true Rites of Passage this year for me, and I ask that if you find some body out there in the desert struggling, that you remember my story and help them.

That's all for now, I'm confident I will, with a little luck, make it to the dusty playa to be with you all, one way or another.

Thanks for keeping me inspired all this time--I hope I am allowed to return the favor!

Hey Noah, Welcome to ePlaya!

You'll do fine.... As long as you read everything!

And don't worry people wont let you die. They might talk shit that you weren't prepared and didn't read the survival guide, but they wont let you die.
If you really need help at any point, ask for it!

As long as you follow the SURVIVAL GUIDE you will most likely SURVIVE. Then read everything on eplaya to find out how to be more comfortable in BRC.

As hard as it is to rein in the the excitement and enthusiasm, and as unbelievable as it might seem, most of your questions have already been asked and answered, if you just take a moment to read.
