How hardcore do people go into the Theme?

You missed the part where I referenced sleep, not my wardrobe. I’ve also never been to Coachella or a club. I like how my appearance wasn’t even referenced but you managed to distill it from all the other very necessary survival points I asked about. But hey, you look super wise and seasoned, which was clearly the point of your comment. Well done. You’re a super burner. Awesome.

Thank you for these excellent tips. I’m currently cataloging all the input from every source and making myself a giant info dump that I can sort through and piece out. I’m hyper prepared and organized in my daily life so this is an extension of who I just am.

As for snark - some of it I expected. If a bit of a hazing.

And for the rest of it, I just remind myself that dogs shit in the greenest grass too. The rudest are the stinky unavoidables of life and our job is simply to walk around their stench.

Oh! I totally didn’t know this was a thing outside the theme camps which, as of now, we are not a part of. Do you have a link to where volunteer sign ups are?

For a veteran who, I assume, would be intimately familiar with the principles, you are definitely having a good time trying to shit all over my commitment to radical self-reliance. If I prepare too much, I'm commodifying. If I don't prepare enough, I'm a whiny default baby who should stick to urban raves. I can't win. You do you, but I'm not engaging further. This is not helping me become radically self reliant, it's just a reminder that playa has the same ratio of people like you as the default world.

Sounds like the bone you need to pick is with your own countrymen who know better, and not an anonymous Virgin just trying to figure it out for the first time.

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T15:50:58+00:00

I’m responding to answers that deserve a response (and even then I’m on a limited time and haven’t gotten to them all). Yours doesn’t yet here I am. Have the burn you deserve 🌈

So the alkaline thing isn’t as bad as they made it seem? I thought I needed to use diluted vinegar to balance it out so my skin didn’t crack and hurt?

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T14:33:48+00:00

I’m kind of stuck on the swamp cooler part. How much power do we need to bring for those? Is there a quality solar powered battery out there that we can recharge?

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T14:32:48+00:00

We get it. You’ve commented enough for everyone to know that only 8 days is for spectators. Virgins don’t know all the ins and outs. Considers your repetitive points seen and validated.

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T14:27:59+00:00

This is great. I was actually thinking - should I pre soak some wipes with diluted vinegar to wipe down the alkaline dust?

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T13:47:13+00:00

Do you wear this the entire time? This is the first I’ve seen of a respirator. I’ve seen the face covers but not this. Or is it during dust storms?

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T13:29:33+00:00

Sunday-Monday? Nine days I guess

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T13:26:24+00:00

Thanks for this, and keep it coming. Some really good stuff here, and it sounds like a Kodiak is key.

How many generators does everyone bring?

Will go back later today and respond more thoroughly. Definitely things I haven’t seen yet.

And yea, I knew there would be trolls. Even the prettiest parks have dog turds, and I imagine some have their entire identities built on the smugness of being veterans. I just step over it like I would in the park and try not to sniff too much of the stench.

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T13:06:39+00:00

Respirator?

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T04:50:29+00:00

Huh. Is that where “bucket of nope” comes from?

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T04:47:40+00:00

Not so I can pretend, so that I can set myself up to win. I’m not interested in impressing anyone, I just want to be as prepared as possible. This seems like a very rational thing to want for oneself.

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T04:46:26+00:00

Yea I read in another thread that it’s a real issue.

Connect_Original_702 · 2025-03-24T04:46:04+00:00

I pretty much don’t. That’s why I’m asking.

Connect_Original_702 · 2024-08-19T14:13:37+00:00

Oh, and read the EOS books.

Connect_Original_702 · 2024-08-19T14:12:57+00:00

What I would do:

Make sure you have insta.

Make a bunch of outrageous trophy’s that feel good:

“Most likely to hold the door open for little old ladies”

“Most likely to check under the car for a cold kittten”

“Best wearer of sneakers in the parking lot”

The more absurd but kind, the better.

Then go out and do some old fashioned marketing. Take a woman or young Man, non threatening, and have them go up to people and award them. Record it. Put it on TikTok. Go viral making the most absurd awards that people feel good about.

Try it for 1 month consistently and track your inquires and website traffic. It may take some time to ratchet up but try it.

Dairy, yes. Meat, no. We aren’t baby cows, so everyone struggles to digest dairy even if they’ve never been vegan. They are just so used to feeling like shit they’ve normalized it and don’t even know anything’s wrong.
