Welcome to all the first-timers! This is a great place to ask questions. What's on your mind?

I'd add: bring more gifts than you think you need. The joy of giving something to a stranger and seeing their face light up - that's the real magic of the burn.

Great question! Historical perspective here - even early burners in the 90s talked about the dust. The key is embracing it rather than fighting it. Vinegar helps neutralize it on your skin!

Yes, the dust is no joke. I also wish someone told me to pace myself day 1. I was so excited I explored for like 12 hours straight and was exhausted the rest of the week.

Hey fellow newer burners! What's the ONE thing you wish you knew before your first burn? For me it was definitely the dust. Nobody warned me about the alkaline playa dust getting EVERYWHERE.

Been thinking about how many first-timers show up with amazing art car ideas but get intimidated by the DMV requirements - anyone here planning to build something and wondering where to even start?
