RV SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR BURNING MAN: TIPS AND TRICKS

 


For those who have never been to the Burning Man festival, like me, an article from Do It Yourself RV could very well help one survive it.

If I were 20 years or more younger, I might consider going to it. I know of one person who attended (a fellow Clamper's son and girlfriend). and that was back in the 1990s.

For those who are not familiar with the week-long festival in the desert, in a nutshell, here's what it is:

Burning Man takes place in Black Rock City, a temporary community built in the Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada. The location is about 141 miles north of Reno and far from big cities.

Burning Man is a week-long counterculture festival that takes place annually in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. The festival is centered around community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance, and is named after the burning of a large wooden effigy called "the Man" on the penultimate night. The festival has been held since 1986, and has grown from a small ritual on Baker Beach in San Francisco to a large-scale event that draws tens of thousands of participants, known as "burners".

Do It Yourself RV begins their article with:

In 2007, I took my first trip to Burning Man. I went with a group of female friends and even took my 75-year-old mother. At the time, my mom and I were camping in a tiny teardrop trailer, and we had a group shelter made from PVC pipe and a parachute.

During that week, a 40-mile-an-hour wind ripped apart our shelter. I got trapped in a dust storm for several hours, miles from camp. And the largest structure ever built at the event was blown apart by 900 gallons of jet fuel.

Even after all of that, I fell in love with Burning Man and continued to go for more than a decade!
