Burning Man -- August 27 – September 3, 2012

Burning Man takes place in the beautiful, remote and inhospitable Black Rock Desert of Nevada, in a temporary metropolis called Black Rock City. As wonderful a place as it is, the desert is governed by physical laws that cannot be ignored. You are responsible in every regard for your own survival, safety, comfort, and well being as well as ensuring you Leave No Trace. This Survival Guide will help you prepare to survive and thrive at Burning Man, from the moment you decide to go, through your time on playa, to your return home. It is essential reading for every participant—first-timers and veterans alike. Read this Survival Guide carefully and make sure EVERYONE in your group reads it too.
