Should we do a camp together?

Other groups from different regions, sometimes do a camp together. A group back east will load a container and have it dropped at the event. Some groups do a theme camp and are more at the center of the event, not my preference. I like to camp in the quieter area away from the sani-huts. The ring on the very outside get a lot of vehicle traffic and is dustier then the rest of the area.

It makes sense to organize. You need a shade structure that won't blow down in high winds. Tents with rainflys don't provide enough protection. Some kind of galley system is needed. Stove and a way to wash dishes. A shower is almost a must, but they are getting picky about what you do with your graywater. It hard to evaporate off a large quanity of water used by many people. We can prearrange a water truck delivery for during the event and put our greywater in barrels to take out by pickup.

    If there is a camp, I'd love to know. I'll be in Camp Glow Fuck Yourself with my Portland crew, but I want to do an article about Alaskans at Burning Man, so please let me know if something happens that doesn't get announced here.

      This expat will be somewhere in the back 40 with a couple native portlandlandlanders, but I'd love to wander around and catch up with anyone from the home country I can...Right now I have a tentative drunken interview on Radio Elektra which should degrade rapidly, I'll be doing my best to convince everyone they're about to be eaten by bears.

      don't know where we're gonna be, but we're at least 15 Alaskans strong... as soon as we figure it out we'll sign up at the message camp.

        Nice! Let us know. I'm basically split between two camps this year at esplanade at 7:30 and the other not sure the address yet. keep us posted - next year I'll be putting in the app and the whole thing to make sure there is an official Alaska themed camp - there are a few others from here in Fairbanks that are probably gonna be helping.
