Burning Man Skills

Step 2Desert Garb

Desert Garb
Tetranitrate and Stasterisk in their evening wear.
They are all dusty from helping build the [www.mechabolic.org "Mechabolic"] which is a giant vehicle powered by burning garbage.

They are both wearing kefiyyeh. Learn to tie one here. You can't beat the Arab Kefiyyeh for day or night wear in the desert. Soak it in water and it'll keep you nice and cool from evaporation. It works great as a dust mask, especially when it's wet.
At night it keeps you nice and warm. It's even good in sub-zero conditions, as I learned in Minnesota.
Stasterisk is wearing a "Camelback" waterbag with a drinking hose to stay well hydrated.

The white rods are at the front of the bikes are toy lightsabers from a huge 10,000 lightsaber battle held on the playa. They are illuminated by colored LEDs. Now they function as marker lights to prevent collisions. They are lashed onto the bicycles with old bicycle innertubes.

Stasterisk carries a lock at the front of her bike. There isn't much theft at burningman, but there are a huge number of bicycles and some disoriented people who don't remember what their bike looks like.
