As Burning Man is upon us, I wanted to share with all of you a packing list to make sure you don\u2019t forget anything. A good friend of mine prepared this list for my first burn and I have been using it ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some items may not be needed depending on your plan especially if you are in an RV. If you are going the ultimate radical self-reliance route of self-camping, as I do, you must also bring your own food and water. Here are a few options for sourcing water<\/a>. If you come with the Burner Express<\/a>, you can simply add the water add-on option.
