Heading to the Playa

This Saturday I leave for Burning Man for the first time. I am pretty damn excited and rushing around to tie up all the last minutes loose ends. I am camping with one other person, although we will probably camp on in a spot with some of his friends. But we will be self sufficent in regards to food, water, etc…

My main job is taking care of all the food. My plan so far is to load up one cooler of dry ice to freeze any perishables we may want to eat later in the week, and then have another cooler that we refill with ice each day for stuff that we want to defrost or keep unfrozen.

Our original plan was to take the Taxi but it has a lot of little things that could use some attention, so we are sacraficing style for reliability instead and taking a fairly new ford ranger pickup truck. This will also be easier on our wallets in regards to petrol.

So I really don’t know what to expect, but imagine its going to be a lot of fun and probably trying at times. After all living in the dessert for a week with practically no luxuries will probably wear on me.

I plan on bringing my laptop as there is some internet love via satelite, while I wont really be checking email, I might attempt to post some pictures or blog posts if I get around to it.
