This flowchart shows how we decide where to store most things. The detailed [**Where Is It?**](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lk9rTBhz5S9zQsZBZfVBd9uLi5uOZ-PVDatuwNXotRY/edit?usp=sharing) spreadsheet helps you track down exact locations down to shelf and bin, especially of specific tools and items in the Tool Fort. [![Where Is It Flowchart.png](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/where-is-it-flowchart.png)](https://wiki.futureturtles.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/where-is-it-flowchart.png) ## 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. - Google Sheets: [Camp Supplies](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lk9rTBhz5S9zQsZBZfVBd9uLi5uOZ-PVDatuwNXotRY/edit?gid=824721407#gid=824721407) # Turtle Truck We rent a truck in San Francisco to make camp possible. - It brings bulky camper stuff from San Francisco to and from playa, such as tents, bikes, and black-and-yellow bins. In 2024 we rented a 16' box truck which was not too full so we have not had to institute official limits on what you can and can't bring. - It makes a stop in Reno for people getting on and off there. - It takes out camp trash which includes build team trash and kitchen trash, but no camper trash (campers are responsible for their own moop). Here's a typical schedule based on 2024: **Friday before the event:** - **early morning** - Pick up truck from rental company - **11:00 am** - Load truck in San Francisco - **Afternoon** - Travel to Reno **Saturday before the event:** - **1pm -** Load in Reno (at GSR or wherever the Turtle Bus will be) - **Afternoon -** Travel to Playa **Monday After Temple Burn:** - **Morning** - load bus on Playa - **11am -** depart for Reno - **Afternoon** - arrive in Reno **Tuesday (day after Labor Day)** - **Morning** - take trash to Reno transfer station **Wednesday** - **Morning** - drive to San Francisco - Unload freight in San Francisco (first chance for campers to pick up their stuff) - Get truck washed - Return to rental agency - **Evening** - campers can pick up their own stuff if they missed the first chance ## 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.
