- Cooler box (supermarket freezer bags also work well) and ice. If you have an RV, pack all your frozen stuff in a large cooler box, cover with normal ice and then cover with dry ice. Put the lid on the box and duct tape the lid down. This will keep stuff frozen for atleast 4-5 days, if not opened.

What should you take to a BurningMan event?
Here's a list stuff that people have found usefull to take. Please add anything we might have missed. Most of the items below also apply to the NoWhere burn (though sandstorms are unlikely).
Food
- Water
- Buy dried food, that you can re-hydrate on the playa (noodles and pancake mix are very popular choices)
- Dried fruit.
- Fresh fruit and vegetables (Finish these in the first 3 days).
- Cooler box (supermarket freezer bags also work well) and ice. If you have an RV, pack all your frozen stuff in a large cooler box, cover with normal ice and then cover with dry ice. Put the lid on the box and duct tape the lid down. This will keep stuff frozen for atleast 4-5 days, if not opened.
- Small bottles of water, to decant big bottles into (consider a 3 litre CamelBak or similar)
- Washing up stuff and plates. Paper plates create litter, remember "leave no trace".
- Mug or cup - bars expect you to bring your own
- Comfort food, chocolate bars, crisps, beef jerky and other stuff.
- Beer.
- Hard Liquor (and mixers e.g. Coke).
- Fruit bars.
- Bread, for the first few days.
- Ingredients for a special 'one-off' meal.
Clothing
- For cold weather - the nights are cold!
- For hot weather - the days are hot!
- Wide-brim hat.
- Very light for the day.
- Heavy-duty fleece
- Walking boots.
- Sandals.
- Shorts.
- Long and short sleeved shirts.
- Odour-eaters.
- Sarongs.
- Spare socks.
- Costumes.
Things that will keep you playa friendly!
- Torch/Flashlight - see and BE seen, LED head-torches are great and last forever and leave your hands free
- Gatorade powder to avoid dehydration (sold in Center Camp) - vital!
- Hand Lotion/Moisteriser - vital!
- Wet Wipes - vital!
- Sun Screen - vital!
- Lip Balm.
- Multi-Tool (Leatherman/Swiss Army knife).
- Sleeping bag - multi-season.
- Emergency blanket (i.e. plastic silver sheet) - highly recommened, it can get very cold
- Tent or Structure (awning).
- 12" Tent Stakes - 70 mph sustained winds.
- Rain Gear - Occasionally, it does rain.
- Bandana - You WILL need it to keep dust out of your mouth and nose.
- Rope/Cord - You can never have enough rope.
- Duct Tape/Gaffa Tape- fixes anything and everything.
- Goggles - wind blown sand in your eyes really sucks.
- Sunglasses...
- Gas Mask - a godsend in a dust storm, a bandana will suffice
- Zip Ties.
- Mirror.
- Camp Shower - can feel real good to get the dust off of you.
- Barter Stuff - Extra stuff from this list will do much better than trinkets, everybody forgets something.
- Costumes - Dressing up on the playa makes you feel a whole lot better.
- Toilet Paper - hey!!!!
- Canteen/CamelBak - To carry your water while away from camp.
- More Water - Never under estimate the amount you will need. If you think you have enough, buy some more.
- First Aid Kit.
- Trash Bags - If you pack it in, pack it back out.
- Dirty Clothes Bag - Not that there'll be a difference in a few days from the clean clothes.
- Clean Clothes Bag - If you don't protect them from dust, they won't be clean long.
- Tools to Fix Anything You Bring
- Bike and innertubes and repair kit, (bike camp wasn't there last year) bikes break quickly on the Playa
- Towel - too many reasons to list.
- Plant Sprayers - when it gets really hot keep yourself and others misted - vital!
- Water Guns - fun.
- Pocket Ashtray - don't leave cigarette butts on the playa! Film canisters work.
- Disposable Camera - you don't want the playa dust inside of your good camera.
- Zip-lock bags - various sizes, e.g. for food, camera etc.
- Alcohol and Beer - to barter if you don't drink
- Bed Pad - the playa is hard, Thermarest matts or similar are popular
- HandHeldRadios - Walky talkies, for communicating with the camp
- Radio - lots of fun stations and good for official news e.g. road conditions when leaving
- Something to read.
- Alternative sleeping plans, just in case the wind takes your tent away.
- Electric socket adaptor.
- Clip to attach keys to clothing - many (car) keys go missing each year...
Money!
I know that you really don't need it, but if you have an RV and need to have your sewage tanks pumped, the DPW only take cash. Also you will need to pay to get off site, if you need to pop out with a vehicle.
What NOT to bring
- Glass bottles
- Feathers

What should you take to BurningMan?
Here's a list stuff that people have found usefull to take. Please add anything we might have missed.
Food
Buy dried food, that you can re-hydrate on the playa (noodles and pancake mix are very popular choices)
Dried fruit.
Fresh fruit and vegetables (Finish these in the first 3 days).
Cooler box (supermarket freezer bags also work well) and ice. If you have an RV, pack all your frozen stuff in a large cooler box, cover with normal ice and then cover with dry ice. Put the lid on the box and duct tape the lid down. This will keep stuff frozen for atleast 4-5 days, if not opened.
Small bottles of water, to decant big bottles into (consider a 3 litre
CamelBak or similar)
Washing up stuff and plates. Paper plates create litter, remember
"leave no trace".
Comfort food, chocolate bars, crisps, beef jerky and other stuff.
Beer.
Hard Liquor (and mixers e.g. Coke).
Fruit bars.
Bread, for the first few days.
Ingredients for a special 'one-off' meal.

Wide-brim hat.
Very light for the day.
Heavy duty fleece.
Walking boots.
Sandals.
Shorts.
Long and short sleeved shirts.

Things that will keep you playa friendly!
Torch.
Gatoraid powder to avoid dehydration (sold in Center Camp)

Sunglasses.
Gas Mask - A Godsend in a dust storm.
