Preparation Resources
Are you ready?
Getting ready for Burning Man is half the fun. Planning to camp, creating art projects, and getting funky gear together is a blast, as we all know. The more logistical side of preparing for the event can be just as creative, but there’s a lot of information to familiarize yourself with first.
Your best go-to resource to help you get ready for your BRC sojourn is the Burning Man Survival Guide. It covers all the basics, and then some — so read it! (And if this is your first Burn, read it again!) The desert can be an unforgiving place for the poorly prepared.
