A: The truck will leave our loading/unloading/storage space 8/22for a 8/25 or 2/26 arrival in Black Rock City. There will be no other pickup stops.

Q: How long do I have to pick up my stuff in Boston?

A: A few days.  We are not running a free storage facility.  Plan on getting your stuff ASAP or we will get our thugs after you.. 

1) THINGS NOT TO PACK

• Please don't pack drugs in the truck. Our drivers are concerned about this. Do them the favor and pack them elsewhere. Please!
• Combustible Materials - no cans of gasoline, explosives, fireworks, etc. Standard camp sized propane is OK. We can do a gas run when the truck goes out for supplies.
• Guns. People. Animals.
• Do not pack anything that could effect anyone's supplies, art, etc.

2) PACK EFFICIENTLY!  We can't emphasize this enough!  Space on the truck is at a premium!

• Label all your boxes/bikes/stuff with your name or the camp name! 
• All bicycles must be disassembled as much as possible.  At a minimum remove the front wheel and secure it to the frame. If at all possible please crate your bike. A simple bike crate can be constructed out of a sheet of plywood and a couple of two by fours... total cost about $15. 
• Everything must be in clearly labeled boxes.  Pack as if you were moving.  No loose trash bags, unsecured milk crates or loose bundles. I highly recommend that you invest in a some plastic storage tubs. Cardboard boxes just do not hold up well on the playa. Boxes must be able to be stacked and not be crushed. Think. Not everything needs to be boxed, like raw materials, etc. If you have any questions, please ask me!

2) TRASH (We have little space in the truck to take trash out):

• No paper plates/plastic utensils.  Bring your mess kit and be prepared to keep it clean.
• Minimize packing material.  Re-pack your stuff as much as possible.  Buy stuff in bulk if you can.
• Cans are OK, but be prepared to crush or flatten them.  Recycle Camp will be taking only aluminum.
• You will be responsible for taking away your trash when the truck returns to Boston.
• You will be responsible for taking away your trash when the truck returns to Boston.
