and from what i heard, gotta learn to dig privies (i.e. trench latrine) properly (as in, away from running water, & with an entrenching tool to cover the feces with dirt, t.p. covered by an empty milk jug to keep off the dew, maybe some hand sanitizer or a jug of water & bar of soap nearby, etc...) (& as a precaution, if you do decide to use surface water, sterilize it by boiling or by addition of chlorine or iodine... 'cause i have heard tales of camper's trots...) some rainbow folks brought a slide-show to starwood a couple years ago, & had a show&tell in the pufferdome... looked like fun... me bro marko went a few years ago & had a great time... me, well, i still got 2 kids & can't quite live the gypsy lifestyle (yet ...) & then there's burning man... maybe someday...

you don't HAVE to dig shitters, but it's very appreciated if you do. Bring the kids with you, there's always a great kiddie camp with stuffed animals hanging from the trees, they will have a great time!
I'd go to burning man if it were free, but something about paying hundreds of dollars to go seems to be against half of what it's all about, mabey i'm wrong, but it stinks of scam to me. I'll stick with my rainbow gatherings for now.

that is some really good advice... even better would be a water purifier. also, try Not to bring anything you would have to throw away, always ask permission to take someone's picture, and watch out for those checkpoints! there is no Sound like thousands of Yogis harmoniously chanting AUM in prayer for Peace on the morning of the 4th of July. there is no Trip like the frenzied heroic dosage in the most powerful drum vortex on the Planet that same night. i will see us there...

I could not have said it better myself. you can hear those drums from MILES away, and somehow no matter how many are playing, they stay in sync incredibly well.

I've never heard of the "A camp" but as soon as you said it I knew what you mean. I remember my first barter faire, getting in and immediately running into some rednecks screaming from atop bails of hay. They had mullets and those giant cases of molson.

actually check if they'll have a water hookup out there, take a big compressable jug and fill it there. Set it on your car, put up a tent and bazam you're dwelling.
And have lots of fun!

They will have water, but the supply is not unlimited, and somebody has to pay for the filters and spend time pureifying it and doing all the great stuff that needs to be done to bring you fresh drinking water, so if you're cool enough to bring your own it's really apreciated, you take less from the comunity. And if you want to help out with the water it's even better!

A Camp = wrecking crew. They stay in the parkin lot. If your down with gettin schwilly its the place to be. They are good people though. The A stands for Alcohol or alcoholics. If they have a regional in my area I will be there. Rainbow family referes to Black Elks Vision of all people not just native americans comming to gether and fallowing the good path by living with the earth in balance with it. Not by desroying and rapping it.

you can follow the link in my sig. to get all information about gathering location. exact location is not decided upon until spring council, and you wont here about it until around the 20th of june unless you attend the council. General location is greeat basin area-cali, utah, nevada. My bet is it will end up in northern cali.

exact location is anounced after spring council. you can find it in the link in my sig that says "welcome home" It will probably be up by the 20th of june, I think it will most likely be in cali, but i'm not for sure, anywhere in the great basin area. if you live in utah you are close enough to any of the state's you should definitely go. You won't regret it if you do. People come from across the country for these things without thinking twice, for good reason. Utah is not far at all, you should really go.
