Black Rock City

Burning Man gear for a week on the playa.

Burner Supply is the Burning Man side of Dustproof Supply. The list is what we still pack: goggles that seal, water by the gallon, shade that stays put, and a bike you can see after dark.

The Amazon price is the price you pay. How the links work. Same family as Dustproof Supply and Raverr. Independent of the event.

The week

What are you packing for?

Days over 100°F, nights in the 40s, dust fine as flour, and a bicycle after dark. There isn't a store you should count on, and everything leaves with you.

RV rental

Sleeping in a rental RV?

These open the company page for a fleet that publishes a Burning Man rule. Your price does not change. We are not affiliated with Burning Man Project. How the links work.

Links open the company page. None of them carry a tracking code.

Renting an RV for Burning Man/Compare the companies/RV checklist

The list is the failures we would not repeat.

Shade has taken off. Water has run out. Nights have been colder than the afternoon looked. Bikes have walked away. Dust got into everything that wasn't sealed.

So the list is what we'd hand a friend before their first year, plus a note on where that thing fails. If it failed once and we wouldn't pack it again, it isn't on here.

How we choose

Free checklist

Take the packing list with you.

Dust, water, shade, the bike, a cold night, and a clean exit. The list is already free on this site. Leave an email if you want a copy sent later, and open it now either way.
