As yet another Burning Man Gear List...

I really need to get a printer. Oh wait, then I'd be wasting trees instead of pixels/electrons. Anyway, here is another list of stuff to check off:

stolen from: http://eplaya.burningman.com/viewtopic.php?t=667

My list incorporates stuff from Helousise's list, as well as a few other sources... This, like everything else, is a work in progress...

Building your home for the week.

• Big tent
• Inflatable Mattrress. I found a Double Decker air mattress made by Ozark Trail, and it's like sleeping in your own bed.
• Sleeping Bags
• Shade Structure to cover the tent.
• Small piece of rug for outside your tent
• Ziplock bags for your clothes and all kinds of shit. Ones with actual zippers are best.
• Flags or something that glows in the dark to mark your stakes that hold your tent in place. Tennis balls for the larger staks are good as well
• Extra rebar stakes to secure your tent, in case it comes with those crappy little staks that simply arent good enough out there.
• Carpet to line whole tent, sounds ridiculous, but if you have some laying around, it does help keep the dust down.
• Tent repair kit, just in case.
• Extra Sheet or blanket. Cover your air mattress with it when you get up in the morning, and you will sleep in a dust free bed every night!

Personal Items

• Fanny pack, or small back pack. I like the camel back/back pack combo.
• Dust mask or rebreather for those VERY COMMON dust storms.
• Goggles for the same reason.
• Sunscreen, and lip balm.
• HAT, an absolute must, wide brim is best, something that protects your ears. .
• Aloe Gel for sun burns

• Camera
• Clothes for both Hot days and COLD NIGHTS
• Camelback/Water bottle. When on my bike I carry 2 bottles and a camelback. You can never carry enough water.
• Stuff to put your dirty laundry in. Garbage bags work great.
• Ear Plugs if you are a light sleeper. It's never quiet on the playa.
• Something to hold your cigarette butts in - No tossing them on the playa!
• Sewing kit.
• Handy Wipes. Cant have too many.
• Spray Bottle or some sort of personal misting device. It's amazing how much it helps.

• Pad Locks (Never needed them before, but you never know.)

• Cash for buying Coffee and Ice from center camp. This is also very important, especially the coffee part.
• Maps covering all parts of your trek to burning man.

Bicycle associated items.

• A bicycle with fat tires and a really cushy seat is best
