Welcome to Burner Outpost
The trusted marketplace for the Burning Man community
Our Mission
Burner Outpost is dedicated to strengthening the Burning Man community by providing a trusted platform where burners can buy, sell, rent, and trade essential gear and services. We believe in fostering radical self-reliance, sustainability, and the spirit of gifting that defines our community.

Our marketplace is built by burners, for burners. We understand the unique needs of our community and are committed to making gear accessible, affordable, and sustainable through reuse and sharing.
Our Values
Community First
We prioritize the needs of our community, fostering connections and supporting burners in their journey to and from the playa.
Sustainability
We promote reuse, recycling, and responsible consumption. Every item shared or traded reduces waste and supports our principle of leaving no trace.
Radical Self-Reliance
We empower individuals to discover, understand, and rely on their inner resources while connecting them with the tools they need to succeed.
Gifting Economy
While we facilitate transactions, we honor the spirit of gifting and encourage generosity, fair pricing, and community support.
Our Story
Burner Outpost was born from a simple observation: too many burners were struggling to find or afford the gear they needed, while others had equipment gathering dust between burns. We saw an opportunity to create something better.
What started as a simple idea has grown into a thriving marketplace that serves thousands of community members. From first-time burners seeking guidance on essential gear to veteran campers looking to upgrade their infrastructure, Burner Outpost has become the go-to resource for all things playa.
We're more than just a marketplace. We're a community hub where burners connect, share knowledge, and help each other prepare for one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. Every transaction on our platform strengthens the bonds that make the Burning Man community so special.
As we continue to grow, we remain committed to our core mission: making the playa accessible, sustainable, and welcoming for everyone. Welcome home, burner.
