SOOT Happens.... anytime wood is burned.
Friday surrounding structures are set afire causing smoke and dust whirls.
This ible is my Survival and Decompression for Adventures at the Burn.
You will want protection from what the sun and sand storms, do to your body during the day.
Then the occasional cold nights, the nightime burners who wear NO Lights you cannot see
until the crash and the bonfires at night.
A loose long sleeve cotton fabric shirt works on sunburn protection and as a
sand pelting shield. I wear glasses for sand eye protection and
stay out of the noonday sun when I can { no mad dog or English man am I ).
The sweat headband can be an emergency bandage for a road rash crash.
Did I mention that red sweat headband ? well you need to replenish that
lost moisture in the desert ! That means keep well hydrated DRINK H2O.
Several people succumb to lack of moisture and have to be treated for shock every day.
I carry two some times three full water bottles, whenever I leave our camp on my bike
during the day, even in the Center Camp.

Playa dust is everywhere. Cooking food is a game fit in between dust blows.
Making a meal, in the dust which is much more visible on a longer view.

Playa dust gets into every thing.

BTW it took two full days with help to clean my RV. . . . A
The constructs on the playa were well made and sturdy to support
the inevitable climbers. I myself climbed an 8' ladder on top of my RV
and surprise, I could talk to my better half in Reno on an iPhone :-)
Only the usual problems. My friends inform me the hospitals saw
about five ODs a day.
into and killed several spectators. I worked for Bill Lear on that airport,
learned to fly there and used to watch the races every year from the Lear
landing parapet with friends.
