If you're heading to Burning Man this year, here are some tips for those who choose to camp instead of RV. Learn what to bring and what not to bring to insure a fun yet comfortable stay.
Food & Water
First, you should know that campfires are not allowed at Burning Man. To cook your food, you will need to bring your own camp stove. Understand that there are no grocery stores at Burning Man either. You need to bring your own food and water. Two things that are sold at Burning Man are ice and coffee. Also, bring any kitchen utensils, accessories, spices, plates and drinking cups.
Camping Gear
You'll need a tent and standard camping gear. Depending on how comfortable you want to live during Burning Man, consider bringing along your own porta-potti, a solar shower, air mattress or cushion for your bed, a camp sink and cooler with plenty of dry ice.
Sun Protection
Since it can get pretty hot during the day at Burning Man, don't forget to protect yourself with good quality sunscreen, applied liberally throughout the day, a sun hat, lip balm with sunscreen, and of course, a good pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from the UV rays. As an adjunct to sunglasses, consider bringing along a pair of goggles. Goggles will not only protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays, but will also keep dust and dirt out of your eyes should a wind storm arise on the playa. A good pair of goggles will keep your eyes healthy and help you see better.
Leaving No Trace
The "Leave No Trace" message of Burning Man is an important one. It's crucial that you are prepared to take your trash with you when you leave. This means bringing along enough trash bags for whatever you decide to bring.
