- There's always some sneaky rules that you only find out about once you've broken them and Burning Mans no different. So here's a video of all those little etiquette things that might trip up first timers!

I'm in love with your calling it "port-a-loo." Where I'm from, we call them port-a-potties but your way is so much nicer sounding. Thank you for all the great videos!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying them. I keep trying to remember that most people call them port-a-potties but I always forget once I start filming and go straight back to port-a-loos :)
Where I’m from, we call them porta potties 🤷♂️
Your videos are so informative and well presented, it is a testament to your quality that the channel continues to grow after no new content in 5 years! Hope youre living a great life and can check back in sometime!
Don’t go around asking people if they have any drugs. People will think you’re annoying or worse a narc. Worse, don’t offer them any when they ask! Because that’s how you get busted. Even if you think they’re they’re cool. For your own safety just say nope. Yes, definitely keep your drug use private and in your own camp.
Great video. It's good to see you actually know what your talking about, newbies will learn a lot from you.
Thanks so much :)
I really liked and digged your video. Thanks for the advice. I do think that this can be applied to our Cape Town trance parties and AFRIKA BURN. also , i hope that you can express yourself here in South Africa's trance parties you'll enjoy it..... thanks again
Good video. Another thing to keep in mind if someone calls you out for mooping, feathers, whatever, listen to them! Don't bite back at them. You will find that most people out there really want to preserve the desert floor and they are just looking out for you and the event.
So true, it sucks to have someone bite your head off when you're just trying to give them some friendly advice about their outfit leaving a trail of MOOP across the playa.
Project Pterodactyl what does mop stand for? I assume it’s trash, but curious as to what the letters mean. Are there trash bins at the festival?
Hee! love the videos! They are really helpful!! I will attend BM this year, I have a question about costumes/clothing with sequins. A do or don't? I bought two beautiful pieces and they are of high quality and well-secured sequins.. But I don't want to be topic of a discussion u know..
You seem like a super cool person. Impressed by all your vids
Thankyou, glad you're enjoying them!
The accent helps . . . are we agreed (?)
It is a bit late for this, but the other lightwad are the people with a bunch of LED's on their costume which looks great on open Playa, but are blinding when they are in front of you for a burn...
Great tips!
Thankyou :)
Your so right. You wouldn't think you need to say it, but yes I can't believe people actually gossip about others and what they do at burning man at the office. That does need to be said, unfortunately
love your videos. great lightening, great voice, interesting facts.
and you look very pretty. also i like yor lipstick!
Thanks so much! Glad they are helping. (I'm in love with this lipstick too!)
Please tell the MOOP part to the BFRCs
Consent is always a nice thing to remember at Burning Man. There’s nothing like a good natured stranger trying to have a good time and forget that other people may not want to be touched. Asking is always better than assuming and accidentally trigger trauma in someone you’ve just met.
heyhi prbly not making it to BM this year but nice informations from you thank you. I've a question, if u have to show your ID how do secure it not to be getting lost, esp later in the night ? ;) it's prbly the worst thing that could happen to you when you are from Europe ^^
Make a copy and tape it on your Cup :)
how many times have you done B-Man?
One more: Don't stare. Be respectful of people's privacy. Just because they're nude doesn't mean they want you ogling them!
Thanks for all of these videos, Teagan! They're an amazing off-playa gift to the community. Have recommended them to all my newbie Burners. Hope to see you out there this year!
Awww thanks so much! I'm so glad they're helping :) Very good point about the staring too, it sucks to be stared at especially if you're nude! Hope to see you out there!
Lol then don't hang your shit out for everyone to see. Its not rocket science, anyone who walks around naked is looking for the attention.
If people don't want to be stared at, they shouldn't go nude. Same goes for photography of people who are nude. Don't want to be exposed? Don't expose yourself.
Don't ogle the naked people.Are you kidding me, the Main reason most people who are naked is a deep cry for attention.They didn't get Attention from Mommy or Daddy so now they are Buck Naked dancing and shaking their Private areas.A clear cut classic sign of serious Neurosis.
@@brianhawkinswhile true, that’s not how one should think. If you’re staring, you’re being creepy and if you’re recording someone for a nefarious reason, you are the problem.
20 years ago it wasn’t an issue, but now all the pervs are out here ruining the scene all over
I remember Spikes use to card people who looked underaged. Muse and the gang made sure everything went smoothly.
Is there a chat site or place to meet burners? I am from Texas, Would like to meet a group or some one that will let me tag along for my first burn. I will help with expenses etc, Love to drink and substance friendly. All my friends are club rats and its rare to meet people that don't mind dealing with nature these days. Any info helps. Thanks
Since there is no longer enough room on the playa to have everyone who would like to go to Burning Man, regional organizations have sprung up around the world. There are five in Texas: El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and Denton. All of them have communications for their local people and many have regular events held throughout the year.
Another alternative is to get hooked up with one of the hundreds of theme camps on the playa each year. The majority of burners are in a theme camp -- large or small -- rather than solo camp, bringing something to the city beyond what an individual can.

This is an EXCELLENT video... WATCH!
cheers love jx.
She has beautiful eyes
I have a grandchild and I still get carded.
Because in reality everyone should be carded. This whole "if you look under 30 youll be carded" thing is not exactly science at work and can be a great opportunity for poor judgement
Everybody is always insulted. If one is old enough and thinks they look old enough, and they are carded, they get insulted. If one is not old enough, they will act insulted because they want the free booze, even tho they aren't suppose to have it. It's just better for everyone if everyone is carded, no matter how old or young they look like, and that way the people giving out the booze are protected. If you can just tape a copy of your ID to your cup, how much effort is that to show your cup for free booze? Not much.
@@bettywith2girlstape your id to you cup? That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Idc if I get carded and I’m late 30s.
It’s obvious when someone should get carded and when someone doesn’t need to be carded. It’s very obvious
You can be 30 and have a grandchild… what’s your point?
I think the trend of asking people in their 40s, 50s, and on up, for ID, is a form of creeping Defaultia that really detracts from the experience. I need a license to drive home. The risk of it being snagged and ripped off a lanyard or dropped from a pocket is too great. And honestly, after 55 years the one break I should get at Burning Man is not having to conform to fear-based bureaucrats. If I were fortunate to look close to even 30, I would happily tote my ID with me.
And no, it's neither Federal or Nevada state law that one cannot be served alcohol without a valid ID
I always think it's a bit weird when people are really clearly old enough to get whatever it is they're trying to get but still get ID'd. I used to work in a supermarket and the fine for selling alcohol to people that were underage was huge so even if I remotely thought someone might be underage I'd ask for ID, but I would't if someone was really obviously old enough.
teodelfuego I mean, it's free booze
What about my pet Terror bird. He hasn't killed anyone in weeks. That's okay, right?
Hello, I have seen all your videos and explored burning man festival. It is exactly the kind that suits me and my girlfriend but I want your say on this. Is it beautiful enough a place at night to get married or the nights look similar to the day? Like are there any beautiful lights and installations as backdrop. Off course there will be a few fireworks to kiss too.I know that :D :D :D
I definitely think it's an amazing place to get married but I do think it has complications like bringing as many guests as you'd like and how those guests would fare at Burning Man (I can't imagine how my family would react to be at Burning Man and imagine there'd be a few hiccups with making sure everyone had a great time. If you've never been before then it's a good idea to go first and see what you think as you won't really know if it's for you until you've experienced it for yourself. It's probably one of the most beautiful backdrops out there, and the best thing is you can choose where you want to have your wedding, a lot of people choose the temple, but plenty of others choose a piece of art, or even just have it near to their camp, so you can hunt about to find a spot that you really love. Good luck with the wedding wherever you decide to have it and a huge congratulations!!!
We are planning to make an intimate and just-for-our-hearts only event so the guest's problem won't be much of a problem. I have researched quite a lot about the event plus all of your videos should be enough to give any virgin burner a good perspective of the festival. And with all your videos any person who has not been to burning man can still know all about burning man, if not then perhaps you are not doing your job properly isnt it :D :D :D
But relax, you are doing a great help with the videos and thanx a lot for the wishes.
That sounds amazing! I hope you have the most fabulous ceremony. Are you planning to do it by the temple or are you going to just have a wander round when you get there to find the perfect spot?
Well its 7 days so we will explore and decide, however I just realized we ought a invite you to our wedding. o.o which invokes my next question. Do cellphones work I guess not if not then what could be a good way to track an acquaintance.
I'd love to come! Thanks for the invite :) I'm not bringing my phone with me so that won't work haha and cellphones generally don't work out there. You could leave a note on the notice board at Center Camp for me once you've decided when and where you're going to do it and I'll keep an eye out for it.
Is it common to see both men and women walking around Burning Man fully nude? How difficult is it to get tickets to Burning Man?
Sammy Kramer yes...its also common for people to fuck out in the open and in the "art".
Shirt cocking?
Dude i jus love how peeps at burning man are cool with drugs as long as ur in private nice just weed im not ok with doing anything else
WOW! Too many rules for the event that "breaks free of the conventional"!
Boundaries = Freedom
@@zeah um....ok?
Moop?
Daphne Blake mess out of place, or litter
Daphne Blake "matter out of place," i.e. stuff that doesn't belong in the desert. Hikers would say, "pack it in, pack it out."
The light wad thing. We always called it being hippie maced..
Like as in, “ Damn dude, don’t frickin hippie mace me. “
"Ah, your torch! Its in my face!"
A very subtle cue to the lightwad. :)
portaloo, new word learned ....greets from germany :)
I am not yet sure if attending burning man is for me, please don't think me prudish by this question. I am all for people being themselves and doing their own thing. But part of my wanting to go to burning man, or at least considering doing so, is that I've crawled into a shell and I am looking for new ways and experiences to help me crawl back out of it. That said, I am not sure how I would react to nudists. I know I wouldn't turn violent or anything crazy, but I'm just unsure and tend to turn shy and introverted in uncomfortable situations. I'm fine with them being there and doing their own thing, I could more easily see my self intermingling with them in the overall environment where if I felt to awkward I could politely excuse myself... But if one or more came into my camp and sat there for a period of time, I might feel more cornered. I don't want to exclude anyone... would it be permissible, acceptable, insulting, to ask them to cover their nethers with a towel if I had a spare?
Well, you can certainly ask people to respect the rules of your camp, but that would be a somewhat unusual request. There's pretty much no way to avoid seeing peoples' nether regions out there. Some are rather in-your-face about it, but most are just walking around like it's any other normal day.
One way you could possibly go about it is have a No Nudity Camp.Make it an official "thing", have some sort of entrance at the road and a rack of towels or sarongs or something available for visitors. It's one idea off the top of my head. Of course this depends on if you're camping alone or with a group. If it's a group, they would all need to be onboard with the No Nudity rule.
Many of us have anxieties, traumas, hangups, things we're really uncomfortable with, triggered by, etc. We each have to figure out ways on our own to find a good balance between accepting the uncomfortable things that we can't change or avoid, and figuring out creative ways to avoid the things that can be avoided or changed or redirected.
Change your view on naked people and you’ll feel better. It’s not all about sex
How do I find somebody to go with I'm an experienced camper and I am self sufficient I've just never been to Burning Man
If you have any type of ettiquette. U don't go to burning man in the first place.
Free spirit crazy people witchcraft
Uh huh
can someone go into more detail, intelligently, on the idea of radical self-reliance?
Jakob Dodd Be self reliant
Bring your own water, a camping stove if you want to cook something, batteries or battery power, lights, etc. I've never been there but it looks like they don't want people hassling (or worrying) other people for basics...like they don't have any water and what are they going to do? Keep asking other people for basic stuff, or basic help (occasional help asking is OK).
Bring everything you would need if you were going there alone.
I was out in the Nevads desert 45 years ago burning shit and partying and it never cost me a dime nor did I need a ticket..or rules..or have to put up w/ 70,000 people . Fuck this.
Lol for real
Can't go, stopped taking acid in the 70's
Abcde just as fun without
Guess you should stop listening to the Beatles too
dont do that, never do this, always do this blah blah blah. this thing sounds way too stressful for it to be worth it
Actually, it all sounds fairly simple. Be a nice, polite, considerate human being. That's why the place seems like it would be filled with amazingly beautiful energy. Everyone there is generally a good person & not lazy, rude, jackasses who don't take others into consideration. I think Burning Man sounds like Heaven in a place hot as Hell!
Mikkel, you are correct! Please do not ever go to Burning Man. The fewer people like you, the better for Black Rock City
the foke is moop?
"use the streets"
My virgin ass:
"Oh dayum there are streets to follow? Good to know!"
*jots down in notes*
DєѧԀ Pooʟ “streets” is a loose term. It’s just like when you go to a camp ground and there’s dirt roadways to get to each area
@@sarahkrig6375it was said with extreme sarcasm homie
lets see no straight sex with the opposite sex??
Dose the phrase "Full of yourself" get to the point.? 10 minutes of this babe I'd be asking for a refund.
Laughable , artificial , freedom of expression . More rules , regulations and pitfalls than the ( closed ) society the fools purport to escape . Fools in a fools artificial paradise . Nice artwork . The only thing that ruins the event are the people .
Burning man is in Vegas 😂😂
Do you have a real job lady? Why so concerned about a place where most everyone is drunk or high???
You came here to hate? You must not have a job and way too much time on your hands. Why so concerned about a place where you’re not going?
Amen on the nude etiquette!
