Burning Man Packing List

I’m not headed to Black Rock City this year, but I’m enjoying hearing about others preparing. In lieu of Burning Man experiences to share this year, I thought I’d make a packing list post. The first year I went I looked at all sorts of packing lists and survival guides online and meshed all the info together. When I actually pack, my personal gear changes a bit each year, but I always start with a huge list and work my way down to what I actually end up taking. While there are some constants (water!), everyone’s packing will be different. Here’s a look at some of the things I think about when I pack for Burning Man. Keep Reading

Book Review of The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler
