Burning Man packing list
I am making this list for myself, but others might find it useful, so
I'm encluding it here. Feel free to print it out and use it as an
checklist.
Please email
with other suggestions!
Mark each item with your name as you pack it! Just so your
stuff comes back if you leave it somewhere. If possible, mark it
with your street address -- for instance, we're at 5:10 and Mercury.
