Where is it?

This flowchart shows how we decide where to store most things.

The detailed Where Is It? spreadsheet helps you track down exact locations down to shelf and bin, especially of specific tools and items in the Tool Fort.

Camp Supplies

What we call "supplies" are anything consumable that we stock up on before each burn to have on hand: things like batteries, towels, cleaning supplies, and so forth. This does not include anything used by the food team.

Turtle Truck

We rent a truck in San Francisco to make camp possible.

Here's a typical schedule based on 2024:

Friday before the event:

Saturday before the event:

Monday After Temple Burn:

Tuesday (day after Labor Day)

Wednesday

Truck Rental Companies

These two companies are reliable and happy to rent to Burners. However they have limited availability so you have to make a reservation in March or April.
