Before you start

Assumptions

This documentation project is written with the following assumptions:

  • You're a member of the New York Dangerous camp.
  • You will attend Burning Man 2023 with this camp
  • You have a ticket

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.
