YOU MUST BRING:
- Your ticket or your photo ID and confirmation number for Will Call
- 1.5 gallons of water per person per day
- A reusable water bottle
- Food & beverages
- An extensive first-aid kit
- Sunscreen/sunblock & sunglasses
- Warm clothing
- Particle/dust mask
- Goggles to protect eyes during dust storms
- Rope or tie-down straps

- Lights for your bike and your person for safe nighttime travel
- A good camp tent or other shelter and warm sleeping bags and bedding.
- Portable ashtrays if you smoke (e.g. mint tin that closes securely)

- Fire extinguishers to protect your camp and property, and if you plan to burn your art …
- Common sense, an open mind, a sense of humor and a positive attitude
STRONGLY SUGGESTED YOU BRING:
- Shade structures, umbrellas, parasols, sheets; something to break the midday sun
- A wide brim hat (a chinstrap is useful in the wind)
- A cooking stove if you expect to heat food or liquid
- A bicycle (mountain bike or cruisers with balloon tires are best)
- A bike lock (tag your bike with name, playa address, email and phone info)
- Bicycle tire repair kit, pump, spare parts and extra tubes
- Portable shower with a drain system to collect & manage grey water
- Lotion, lip balm and earplugs (Not everyone will want to sleep when you do!)
- Watertight protective bags (e.g. heavy zip-type) for cameras or electronic gear
- Costumes, musical instruments, props, decorations, and anything that might make the experience more fun for you and your playa neighbors
- A battery powered AM/ FM radio so you can listen to BMIR radio and stay informed
- Camp marker (flag, banner, distinctive marking)
- 12” tent stakes (rebar is cheap and effective in high wind)

- Extra set of car keys (keys are easily lost and there is no locksmith in BRC!)
