Before you start

NOTE: I really can't stress this enough, but PLEASE read everything, and take it very seriously! 

 Assumptions 

 This documentation project is written with the following assumptions: 

 

 You have never attended Burning Man before 

 You're either a member of the New York Dangerous camp or you plan to join 

 You plan to attend Burning Man @ August 2024 

 You have a ticket, or you plan to purchase one 

 

 No other assumptions are made, which means this book will attempt to cover everything else, including how to get to Burning Man, what to expect, what to bring, what not to bring, etc.

 Some fine folks made this packing list, which is pretty exhaustive (and potentially exhausting!):
