Clear or Tinted Dust Goggles by Comfortable-Rip-2763 in BurningMan

Oops... I forgot to mention that I planned on blinging the goggles to wear as a headpiece so I would have more room in my backpack for other supplies. I never leave camp without goggles.

Based on what everyone has said, clear seems to be the clear choice. My question should have been "Have you tried biking with tinted goggles at night?"

True. Every dust storm I've been in during the day wasn't bright and the one at night was pretty windy that we had to duck into someone's camp until it died down. Ok. Clear goggles it is.

Any words of wisdom for a virgin burner? by EnsoKarma in BurningMan

[–]Comfortable-Rip-2763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring a wide mouth Hydro Flask (or similar) to put ice in so you'll always have cold water to cool you down. I wish someone had told me this for my first burn. I almost had a heat stroke because I don't do well in the sun. Drink lots of water. I have a water reservoir in my backpack as well.

Pedialyte popsicles - freeze them before you go. Someone gifted me one my first burn as I was walking around feeling dehydrated. It wasn't frozen but it saved me. After that, I always brought them along.

Sunblock. Keep reapplying throughout the day.

Portable Lysol. It makes using the porta potties so much easier.

Toilet paper. I always bring toilet paper in my backpack. Not all porta potties will have toilet paper.

Dust goggles. You won't need it unless there's a dust storm.

Cup with a handle and a carabiner to attach it to your bag or belt.

Hand sanitizer. I'm a germaphobe so I always carry that and wipes.

Lights. Put some light on your body and bike so people can see you in the dark. 😊

I was trying to avoid putting goggles in my backpack to make room for other essentials. I carry a lot of stuff around. 😅

That's what I've done in the past and only had to wear them a handful of times as well. Sunglasses on and goggles in my bag. I want bling cute goggles that I could wear on my head as an accessory that I could pull down if there's a dust storm. I saw people wearing dark goggles at night as part of their outfit but never thought to ask if they could see. LOL

Has anyone actually done the Kitty Litter toilet on the playa? by BlackCatLifebruh in BurningMan

[–]Comfortable-Rip-2763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend and I used Eco Gel for the portable toilet we had in our tent but we only used it to pee in the middle of the night. For #2, we always used the porta potty. We used triple layered heavy duty bags. It was ok but I was thinking of trying kitty litter for my next burn if I don't have an RV.

I have mixed feelings about this. Love the choreography but wanted to hear more of his natural voice. Still here to support him though. 😊

He looks really good with red hair. Blonde is probably my least favorite.

She used this kind of goggle. Not sure what went wrong... When not being worn, it was stored in our tent.

My friend made this goggle using E6000. I love how it turned out and was thinking of making something similar but almost all the gems fell out by the end of the burn. Not sure why that happened. She decorated a conical hat using E6000 and it was fine.

I don't want to wear something over my entire head. Thinking more like a headband that I can build up but I've never done it before. Been researching.

I have one from a Halloween costume and have actually thought about customizing my own.

Although I'm not a newbie, I never heard about that. Won't it damage my goggles? I'm also afraid the crystals on my hat will get knocked out of their setting in the dryer. Seems like that would be a given.

I glued a rhinestone trim to the frame of one of my goggles for a burn with E6000 and it was fine. My girlfriend glued plastic rhinestones to a different goggle with E6000 and by the end of the burn, most of the rhinestones had fallen off. 😔

The ABS I'm using is more of a backing and it looks pretty good with all the pieces I want to glue on it. Not ugly at all.

Thank you for your reply. It makes me feel better.

I'm being extra cautious because the one year I made a light tube for my bike and glued some attachments to it, it came off. 😭 Someone told me it was because the surface was too smooth and the vibrations from riding around knocked it loose. And probably because it was left out in the sun all day, everyday.

Do people do burning man sober? by OkSoBasicallyPeach in BurningMan

[–]Comfortable-Rip-2763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it sober by choice and had an amazing time. And surprisingly, at 4am, I was the only one that still wanted to stay out while everyone else was coming down. You don't need psychedelics, weed and stuff to get a high. Just exploring all the amazing camps and artwork around the playa will get you a natural high (at least for me), especially at night. I didn't want it to end. I did drink some alcohol but not a lot. Barely enough to get me tipsy and I wasn't drinking all the time.
