PLEASE NOTE - CRAZY IMPORTANT

WATER
There will be no access to drinking water. You must bring your own water for consumption. We suggest 2L per person per day.

SWIMMING
Absolutely no swimming after dark! It is forbidden to wash your dishes or yourself in the stream. Even if your soap is biodegradable, don’t do it. Keep the stream pristine.

VOLUNTEERING
Everything at L’OsstidBurn is organized and run by volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to contribute and participate in the event. There are many ways to get involved: Gate, First Aid, Rangers, Fire Perimeter, Department of Public Works (DPW) etc. You must have purchased a ticket to access the registration platform!

PORTABLE ASHTRAYS
SMOKERS! Don’t toss your butts in the forest – use a portable ashtray.

ELECTRICITY
There is no electricity available at the event site. Bring batteries, small solar panels, or generators (see the “Camping & Stuff” section for generator setup guidelines).

FIRE ARTS
Any flame effect or fire poofer must have been placed on the site by the organization beforehand. If you or your camp plans to install a fire work, you must apply for a specific placement. Before lighting, you must have your work checked by a member of FAST (Fire Art Safety Team).

EXITS / ENTRIES
There is no re-entry once you leave the site, except for emergencies.

CAMPFIRES
No campfires allowed. See the section “Conclave & Other Flames.”

MONEY
The purchase or sale of anything is not permitted during the event. The Burn’s economy is based on gifting. Refer to the “BURNING MAN : 10 Principles” section for a better understanding.

Ice bags are the only exception to this rule, but they must be ordered in advance on the OsstidBurn website.
