The goal is to bring as little as possible and TAKE OUT as little as possible. Here are some helpful ways to prepare for Burning Man (and any camping trip, for that matter).
BEST tip... Go pick up 5 Thai dinners, repackage them in reusable plastic containers and freeze it solid. Thaw it out every night when you come in the playa and nuke it. We're in an RV... The first year we thought we were going to cook meals, and after being out all day there wasn't the energy, plus the heat kills your appetite. 5 Thai dinners will last a week on on the playa for two people. A box of frozen brown rice from Trader Joes and some hot sauce will go a long way. Breakfasts are eggs w/ Trader Joe's pre-cooked bacon and frozen peppers and onions. We skip lunch.. again, the heat kills your appetite.
We are fortunate to have a freeze dryer. 90% of our food is add hot water and eat. We will also be bringing a ton of freeze dried candy for sharing.
Damn near exactly what we did for Carnival of Mirrors & Davinci's Workshop, but never expected to find a video on the subject. Great info, well done!

Works great with Indian curries too!
