Here is a short list of what we recommend you bring to the Playa and how to prepare for your time out there

First of all, read the First Timers Guide. Know what to expect and think about how you can contribute to the event. We encourage everyone to bring their own personal toiletries and survival gear, as well as adequate clothing/ costumes for 5+ days of dusty warm and cold weather conditions.

Please come prepared with the following:
-Personal water containers
-Warm clothing for evenings- this is a desert at 4,000 feet elevation! Evening temperatures can be in the 40s (Winds can exceed 75 mph, and the midday temperature can exceed 100° F)
-Any required prescriptions, contact lens supplies (disposables work great), or anything else you need to maintain your health and comfort in a remote area with no services.
-Flashlights and spare batteries (headlamps are useful) to see and be seen at night
-Sunscreen/sunblock & sunglasses
-Lotion, wet wipes & lip balm to treat cracked skin

Strongly suggested:
-Umbrellas or parasols
-A wide brim hat (a chinstrap is useful in the wind)
-Costumes, musical instruments, props and anything that might make the experience more fun for you and your playa neighbors
-Particle/dust mask (dust storms are common)
-Goggles to protect eyes in case of dust storms
