Travel Tips

What comes with you in your transportation pod?

  • Personal entertainment device(s)
  • Whatever you need to enjoy your last shower/self cleaning ritual
  • Monies for snacks/dinner/drinks/gas
  • Change of clothes (remember, we're setting up when we get there Sunday morn. Wear sensible worky clothes that will get dirty/greasy/shitty. You might be on your knees a lot, right di?, so jeans should be considered despite the hotness)
  • YOUR TICKET
  • Water bottle
  • Sunblock
  • Chapstick
  • Goggles
  • Hat
  • Dust mask/bandana
  • Personal multitool
  • Work gloves
  • (FOR THE TRIP HOME) A pair of clean clothes sealed in a zip lock bag that you can change into after you're off the playa.

What goes in the truck?

  • Tent
  • Sleeping bag
  • Furry clothes
  • Blinkies
  • i.e. Everything else!
  • LABEL YOUR SHIT! ALL OF IT! So it can be appropriately piled.
