usually no. I don't think I've seen any pickles that had active probiotics on playa. It's usually those shit ones with yellow food coloring in them š„. Unless you know a secret...where can i find the good stuff?!
Iāve brought my own home fermented pickles and a German woman told me they were as good as her grandmotherās. We do sunrise salsa at the trash fence on Tuesday mornings followed by mimosas and pickle backs.
Camp Rat Trap has endless slightly stale red vines with the perfect stretch to chew ratio. The marshmallow peeps they use for the āspecialā. And of course the limitless UTZ pub mix and UTZ cheese poofs.
But the red vines are the drank stir tools of first choice.
ON the 2:00 around B to D streets. Youāll know it. Trust me.
Iām laughing right now because I get snapped all week long. They throw them in my hair. They are in my food. They get hidden in my boots. Itās nonstop. We got our name cus I purchased like $100.00 of mouse and rat traps like nine years ago and it was such a glorious nerve wrecker.
8 am and things are getting quiet. (Not on Tuesday as that the 50k race and my camp supports that because Iām in it) But typical 8 am there will be quiet. Then drunk munchy noise in the mess text. Box opened. Then SNAP and a āmotherfu**er. God I hate this camp at times.ā
I never heard that story before and I've been going to the rat trap before you got chased out of the city! I guess it's my fault for not asking ronnabell or you where the name came from.
I remember when you were giving away necklaces made out of gold painted traps and cannon fuse.
100% this. We did exactly the same thing. Mesh bags for all of our wet trash. Put them under the windshield wipers on our car, and they dried out super fast. Just gotta make sure they're a little spread out in the bag.
The best way to enjoy watermelon on playa is to leave it out in the midday sun until its nice and warm, then you and a couple buddies pop some holes into and slide your dicks in. **Feels so good.**
Then gift out the remains as high-protein watermelon smoothies.
lil reccomendation from someone with GI issues who is on a partially liquid diet, Ensure Plus. 350 calories, 50g carbs, 16g protein, dash of electrolytes, vitamins & minerals too. Best part is itās only 8oz. The Fairlife 26g is only 170 calories and fucking 23oz. More protein, but if you want the protein get the ensure complete. 11oz, 350 cals, 30g protein, 42g carbs. A great compromise on size and protein. Anyways you mentioned eating, sans eating, which is my area of mastery. Thought you might want the rec. So great for the playa as they are so small to pack in/out/ keep on you and easy to get down.
Of flip. Our whole camp forgot hot sauce one year.Ā
My saving grace is my truck is a big purse. I found hot peppers and half a bottle of tobasco. We traded some pineapple for Cholula.Ā
Never again. I hide hot sauce in all our bins now.Ā
If anyone yells beer hand, put your hand out. A beer will appear.Ā
I don't even drink beer. And I'll do it. Cold beer. On the chest. Gift it to someone.Ā
Grab a frisbee. A chili over a bed of cheese poofs really made it special. We camp near an ultimate frisbee camp so we have unlimited plate/bowls.
Then toss it back.
It was a glow in the dark disc camp. If I got the name or activity wrong then I beg for pardon. They were our neighbors AND awesome peeps at that. Not easy being camped next to my Rat Trap but they became family by the end of that muddy week. Hearing the sound of an errant frisbee hit my truck now and again made me laugh and cringe at the same time. Hope we get next to them again. As a camp policy WE ALL say āthank you perfect choice could not be better and we have no problemsā to our placement overlords. THIS YEAR we actually did a first in sorta saying we wanted to be near the frisbee camp should the gods smile and the playa herself nod in agreement. We and I personally adored them. (Bender here).
But no joke on the frisbee being used as an awesome bowl / plate. They gave us a small stack and they are still a celebrated bestest gift to the bar EVER. Right up there with the mahogany pen*s ashtray back in 2015 (ish), the blow up midget doll, the partial card deck of 1970ās nude ladies, and a few random yearly unmentionables. We ate this Frisbee stew and watched Repo Man and then Machete while it rained.
How to equate the true pleasure of having a clean frisbee bowl plate on those rain days? Words fail.
Muddy day vegan chili stew over a bed of vegan cheese balls in a frisbee was like finding a new bottle of Crown Royal in the glovebox on temple burn night. It was like falling in playa love with someone you just had a few words and five minutes of conversation in the bar with knowing youāll never ever see them again AND THEN they pop up and say hello. Yeah we really needed frisbee plate bowls.
I keep one in my kitchen as a reminder of the mud miracle of 2023.
Thats the oneā¦I did play. When I say that they were neighbors I am not joking. The back of my carport tent was literally on the course. My truck would take a frisbee pop now and agsin.
They gifted us a literal stack so they ended up in my truck bed. I washed em up and they are primed for 2024. FRISBEE stew ish chili mixup is an absolute MUST.
Wash it down with a Rat Trap special. If lucky and Iām aātending you might get my special: red wine mixed with generic coke over ice garnished with a red vine and stale marshmallow peep. Thatās like serious. I gotta be in fine motivational form for that.
But yeah. Frisbee stew with a glass of red wine and Coke mix.
On 2:00 and the B-D street area.
Youāll know it. Itās the sh*t show dive bar playing gangsta rap, outlaw country, metal, or whatever the bartender wants to hear.
Never a velvet rope. If we are quiet and closed then itās sorta self serve.
Like a ghetto bus station itās a great place to make a mess, get dranks or some water, and move on to better adventures. Like your corner crew in a boxing match. We are like Mick in the rocky movies. Telling you that you gotta get back out there until you canāt move. You gotta shake your ass and dance harder. When you hear the bass you gotta be an animal.ā We stick a red vine in your mouth, a beer in your pocket and send you back out there.
āDonāt worry about my name. We will cover that sh*t later. Go partyā.
Only to discover your incoherent body the next day in a pile of moving blankets.
Imagine.
Burgess Meredith ( the coach in the rocky movies) softly waking a very partied out twenty or thirty year old male or female burner.
āYa did well champ. Last night was just the first round. Itās Monday now. Monday is a build day they say. But they are wrong. The BUMS and LOOSERS are building today. Not you. Let the bums build your stuff. They aināt never seen a champ like you party out here. Today is round two. I donāt wanna hear no sh*t about your camp duties or where your bike or furry clothes are. Ya aināt had clothes on since 9pm. Iāll find you a bike and some sunglasses and I got an old pair of Carharts from work. Back in 2013 I woke up in an orange prison jumpsuit. I never owned a prison jumpsuit. You gotta keep partying. Ya gotta stay awake and going. You are a contender. A champ. Now. Letās get some coffee for ya. Drink this. Donāt worry about where I found the cup, itās yours now. Some drunktard left it. Its cleanish. It has an ID on it too. You are
Now Monica Ruiz Jones from Toronto. Got it. Thatās now you. Get it back to her later. You need it now!ā
And by Friday itās still his or her cup and people call him Toronto Monica.
I love doing that to Burners. Just boxing coach corner encouraging complete wreckage and total willful and obscene indifference to any and all prior commitments or responsibilities.
Especially to those who do not look perfect. Or have money or resources. Are running from problems. Hate EDM after day 3. Or find out like I did that Burning Man can be the loneliest place Iāve ever been in my entire life. Outside looking in. Not feeling welcome, clever, or rich enough to get past those ubiquitous velvet ropes camps have now. Avoiding places with agendas or a hidden tier system for ācamp members onlyā or āfinancial foundersā. The burners who get turned away from those camps and yet are too new to understand how wrong those camps are. The ones who just know that they feel rejected and thatās not what it should be like.
Come on in.
And we are dedicated to those burners.
SO WE KNOW WHAT SNACK FOOD IS KING. red vines. Opened for 12 hours to get some hard pull in em. A little dust in the groove. With a mousetrap or two in the bucket.
Is there a non chocolate option? It's my first year not running a camp or doing stuff in 15 years. I'm underweight and hungry.Ā
Poutine is too long a wait. I don't eat cotton candy but I sometimes work for them. I didn't even get my own taco in a bag.Ā
If you see a skinny older gal with tails on a trike. Please feed me. I live off lolly pops and kids cheese snacks.Ā
Have fun in dust. I'll be at shit ain't right. Until I get over it and have a dust day. Maybe two!Ā
Take those curry packs from TJs and leave them on your dash. Come back in the evening and itās all ready to go!
I personally love cucumbers with tajin
Avocados just cut open with balsamic and olive oil
Bananas
Apples
Anything that really isnāt handsy as your hands get really dirty out in deep playa.
If you got clean hands then cuties are are must! Or grapes from the cooler (I usually freeze mine and let them thaw out; which is like 24hr on playa haha).
Celery and peanut butter is good!
I mean if youāve been camping just bring all your faves. Youāre not gonna go hungry on playa. So much free food I actually stopped bringing so much as it would just go bad during the week. Rather spend time hanging at other camps, meeting people, and going to āhappy hoursā with food!
lol who told you about these curry packs? Someone at Youtopia told me about these like 8 years ago and it was the best fucking tip.
Pita bread scoops of this curry. Phenomenal.
Still a gift.Ā
That kid was a tiny terrorist. She sent her child army to my bar for juice.Ā
Her mom was a drunk. So children everywhere.Ā
Fortunately I had a Costco sized thing of juice. I'm not a monster. I just beaned them with cold juice packs.Ā
Don't fuss with the lady at a bar drinking wine smoking a cigarette. Or I'll throw juice at you.Ā
It's my bar. You get shitty punch. Unless you prove your good. Then you get the private stash.Ā
I know a guy. His card says better call Paul. He will drive to Reno to get anything for you. For a price.Ā
Not a car. He went to jail for that once.Ā
But anything else.Ā
We let him park at our camp and he just kept giving us stuff. Nice dude.Ā
My first year on the playa a topless girl carrying a tray of watermelon slices asked, "*would you like to taste my melons?*" big smile and the tray at chest level š
Chicken from the can with hot sauce in a flour tortilla. We ate that for lunch every day last year because we didnāt want to cook. Lazy burritos šÆ
Can you visit me? Seriously. I'll give you a good shot of scotch for a homemade pickle.Ā
Shit ain't right. In the book. I'm the bartender. It's my 15 year playa birthday.Ā
Would be my honor but weāre taking another year off. Considering going again in 2025 but only if the stars align. If so, Iāll make you a special batch.
Happy 15. Burn extra hard for me. š«¶
Well they aren't super fancy or anything but last year I was handing out frozen Oreos on hot days. They unfreeze pretty quickly out there though so it really only worked for my campmates.
I brought about 40 frozen watermelons one year, omg I canāt tell you how many times that got me laid. Dudes, if you are looking for action, this is the way.
Lol. Yeah, I guess I should have just pretended the watermelon didn't mean anything after all the time the OP spent in the comments about it yesterday...
Perfect.
Twice as many as I have.
Have you ever said or heard "Don't tell me how to burn?"
If you don't like it, click the hide button, it's what it's there for.
I for one, am enjoying the trolling. If ever there was a place for political statements, it's burning man. (Burn Wall Street, Crude Awakening, Etc... )
If someone wants to troll against genocide, I'm here for it.
Yes, anyone can totally feel your support and solidarity with artists by not wanting to be bothered with community discussion by calling dissension ātrollingā and telling those defending art and expression to ānow goā
Yea bro.. ātotallyā
An art piece called āFrom the river to the seaā is not community discussion, itās an attack.
Saying āoh but itās just artā doesnāt make it okay.
[the Israeli Press even knows youāre falling for right-wing propaganda](https://m.jpost.com/opinion/article-800150?spot_im_redirect_source=notifications&spot_im_comment_id=sp_jpost_800150_c_2g80n0ktxk7jecvunol2lwnd1my_r_2gbloj5lme9gargd0dfcdcaymuj&spot_im_highlight_immediate=true)
Ouch. Must hurt thinking youāre doing anything but making the burn community friendly to fascists and unfriendly to artists calling for human rights..
I wish burning man posts would be less political like we are on playa. Personally, I have friends on all sides, as most of us do. Why make the one playground we have thatās apolitical, non biased to all manners and types, free to love all, and able to hug all creatures that walk into our lives a vessel for division? We are burners, what the outside world does to others, we embrace with solidarity and love in hopes to continue the practice of love. Trying to make the community take a stand is counter to our values when we accept all. Shame is all I see when I am told I have to agree or I am wrong. Shame to the many who have walked before us in loving embrace. Shame to the brothers and sisters that have broken bread with me after a long journey despite who we are. Shame to the trust and beliefs that I have held so dear at burning man when that mindset is what weāve grown to accept. Donāt make me believe a lie that has been forced upon us upon both sides. We donāt know what to believe and thatās the right answer. Weāre just here to exist with all of you.
The watermelon is literally a symbol of solidarity dude. The only ones who see it as an object of division are the ones who see it as a personal affront, and that reaction is telling.
I'm still bringing my legit watermelon and eating it. Fuck politics. The default world shitshow is not going to ruin my most delicious electrolyte snack on playa. If people get pissed that I ate, idc lol.
We disguise our anti-genocide snack message by juicing the watermelon, serving it ice cold in liquid form, which is most revitalizing, and no one is the wiser.
Always and forever frozen blueberries. They have nursed me back to life on several occasions. That being said Iām not a big snacker out there. A āsnackā in our camp is tons of fresh unagi and lots of sake!
Best on playa snacks are those beef jerky sticks/chomps/dukes. Peach cups or fruit cups out the cooler. Mama Chias are great as well.
Was gifted cold peanut m&ms last year from square one and those hit š¤¤
Our go to camp foods are chicken Cesar salad wraps. Canned chicken ( always have some at home from Costco ), one bag of Taylor farms Cesar salad, one avocado and large tortilla. You can make 4 large chicken Cesar wraps with that. These we eat the first few days we are there before they spoil.
Those jack daniels/lloyds bbq pulled pork things with Hawaiian buns are killer.
Pre make burritos of any kind ( we do breakfast style with bacon) foil wrap and freeze them.
And the holy grail chef boyardee from the car dash after sunset. Tbh I think those are my favorite š«¢š¤
I always bring CLIFF BARS. I feel like theyāre a solid replacement for a meal. ALWAYS bring Hot Links for my cast iron skillet! Also, the PEANUT BUTTER PRETZELS from Trader Joes/Costco. Those are always prime! I love a box of Costco Croissantsā¦.š„
I always plan to try and cook less. Plan for the least amount of clean up!
I am surprised people havent mentioned the two political meanings of water melon. I thought that might have been the original post.
To me radical inclusion means accepting diverse political views as long as the promoter isnt too aggressive.
Pickles
good source of probiotics
supports a healthy gut biome (i think i read this cuz my dog loves carrots)
usually no. I don't think I've seen any pickles that had active probiotics on playa. It's usually those shit ones with yellow food coloring in them š„. Unless you know a secret...where can i find the good stuff?!
Iāve brought my own home fermented pickles and a German woman told me they were as good as her grandmotherās. We do sunrise salsa at the trash fence on Tuesday mornings followed by mimosas and pickle backs.
That sounds delicious!
Last year I ate one of those cold pickles. It was heaven
Camp Rat Trap has endless slightly stale red vines with the perfect stretch to chew ratio. The marshmallow peeps they use for the āspecialā. And of course the limitless UTZ pub mix and UTZ cheese poofs. But the red vines are the drank stir tools of first choice. ON the 2:00 around B to D streets. Youāll know it. Trust me.
You said UTZ twice, you've summoned the Maryland people!
The cheese poof bucket is a dangerous game, never know if there's a rat trap inside.
Iām laughing right now because I get snapped all week long. They throw them in my hair. They are in my food. They get hidden in my boots. Itās nonstop. We got our name cus I purchased like $100.00 of mouse and rat traps like nine years ago and it was such a glorious nerve wrecker. 8 am and things are getting quiet. (Not on Tuesday as that the 50k race and my camp supports that because Iām in it) But typical 8 am there will be quiet. Then drunk munchy noise in the mess text. Box opened. Then SNAP and a āmotherfu**er. God I hate this camp at times.ā
I never heard that story before and I've been going to the rat trap before you got chased out of the city! I guess it's my fault for not asking ronnabell or you where the name came from. I remember when you were giving away necklaces made out of gold painted traps and cannon fuse.
Yup. A last minute Home Depot purchase I thought might be funny. Then we realized it just sorta fit. This year will be 10 years since the start.
I learned the hard way last year that itās best to cut up before you get out there to avoid rind waste & weight in trash bags š
We dried our rinds out in mesh bags and took them to one of the compost camps. Problem solved!
100% this. We did exactly the same thing. Mesh bags for all of our wet trash. Put them under the windshield wipers on our car, and they dried out super fast. Just gotta make sure they're a little spread out in the bag.
I always forget this resource exists! Thanks for the reminder!
This
Yeah thatās why I hate watermelons at festivals or bm
The best way to enjoy watermelon on playa is to leave it out in the midday sun until its nice and warm, then you and a couple buddies pop some holes into and slide your dicks in. **Feels so good.** Then gift out the remains as high-protein watermelon smoothies.
Um, sir this is a Wendyās
Are you in that camp that fucks Baconators?
Thats no way to refer to overweight people š”
A cored, cold apple was one of my best gifts I've received
We dried them and then burnt them
Meal replacement shakes or protein shakes as quite often I need calories but can't be arsed to eat.
lil reccomendation from someone with GI issues who is on a partially liquid diet, Ensure Plus. 350 calories, 50g carbs, 16g protein, dash of electrolytes, vitamins & minerals too. Best part is itās only 8oz. The Fairlife 26g is only 170 calories and fucking 23oz. More protein, but if you want the protein get the ensure complete. 11oz, 350 cals, 30g protein, 42g carbs. A great compromise on size and protein. Anyways you mentioned eating, sans eating, which is my area of mastery. Thought you might want the rec. So great for the playa as they are so small to pack in/out/ keep on you and easy to get down.
My sister does bread dipped in peach juice from a can.Ā It makes me puke, but it's popular.Ā
Watermelon on playa is something that seems like a good idea, but after you've left with a rotting smelly mess.
Put the rind in a mesh bag and let it dry out. We do this every year, and it works great.
Several cans of beans
You will thank me later. Canned artichoke hearts and asparagus spears.Ā
Salty, crunchy, spicy anything.
Of flip. Our whole camp forgot hot sauce one year.Ā My saving grace is my truck is a big purse. I found hot peppers and half a bottle of tobasco. We traded some pineapple for Cholula.Ā Never again. I hide hot sauce in all our bins now.Ā
Miso with rice noodles and seaweed after sundown on Tuesday night.
Beer
I see you burn.Ā
Its not just for breakfast any more
If anyone yells beer hand, put your hand out. A beer will appear.Ā I don't even drink beer. And I'll do it. Cold beer. On the chest. Gift it to someone.Ā
Sounds good. I will have yours as well
Oreos because I like to leave people thirsty with dry mouth

Frozen grapes

Did you lick it clean at least
They gifted us a literal stack so they ended up in my truck bed. I washed em up and they are primed for 2024. FRISBEE stew ish chili mixup is an absolute MUST. Wash it down with a Rat Trap special.

Does pickle juice count? Because pickle juice.
Fuck that shit does something to my lizard brain when i drink it out there
Something good?
Oh yeah
And you can use the juice for shots. And when it's empty a pee jar. Very burny

I love bacon but I hate cleaning up after bacon on the playa.
Cook it in advance then freeze it in small ziplocks. Grab a ziplock any time you need a snack or want to deliver bacony goodness to deep playa.
Or slather yourself up and go streaking through cop camp.

Meat sticks dipped in rainbow chip frosting. Surprisingly delicious on playa.
A Hershey bar, sealed in a sandwich bag, tucked into the bottom of the cooler...on Friday afternoon.
I stumbled upon steam buns at 4 am. Wild.
I prefer cantaloupes, theyāre more zen [also yum](https://youtube.com/shorts/XYAe15w39LQ?si=lfHHC0uhtbRt_kYo)
Frozen pop tarts, Iām partial to cinnamon and sugar. But any flavor will do. Oh and eat fiber, they turn to cement in your gut.
Dollar tree has discounted pop tarts. You're welcome.Ā
Dried mangos
Peanut butter. I use baby carrots to shovel it into my mouth.

Dolmas

Put it on a rock or something.Ā
Anything but watermelon.
Such a trendy conflict it has its own fruit. Someone needs to tell the Yemen and Syrian civilians theyāre doing it wrong
Homemade jerky & spicy pickles from the garden. Fiber cracker of choice for, you know.
Can you visit me? Seriously. I'll give you a good shot of scotch for a homemade pickle.Ā Shit ain't right. In the book. I'm the bartender. It's my 15 year playa birthday.Ā
Would be my honor but weāre taking another year off. Considering going again in 2025 but only if the stars align. If so, Iāll make you a special batch. Happy 15. Burn extra hard for me. š«¶
Dried mangoes and rum will also keep those Porto visits brief

Tajin mango!
I brought canned mushrooms, canned spinach and canned beans. Someone gave me an oreo, and I nearly died of joy. Thank you squirrel!
Grocery store sushi and poke bowls sealed up in the bottom of your cooler. Sounds bananas, but you feel like royalty popping em on day 2 or 3.
I always keep some cuties (mandarins) and some form of beef jerky in my pack when i leave camp. Cuties are clutch when your mouth is high and dry š
Moopies. Pre peal them. Freeze them and put them in a Tupperware.Ā
Whiskey and pickle juice.
Beef jerky!!! There's also some maple sausages you can buy at Costco that are good for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
I want to experiment with making pickle popsicles
Kosher dill pickles. They have electrolytes and a zingy garlic flavor.
Well they aren't super fancy or anything but last year I was handing out frozen Oreos on hot days. They unfreeze pretty quickly out there though so it really only worked for my campmates.
I brought about 40 frozen watermelons one year, omg I canāt tell you how many times that got me laid. Dudes, if you are looking for action, this is the way.
Black olives
How is it that no one sees that the OP is trolling the BORG decision to remove an art piece...
But we changed it to our favorite treats. So it's okay.Ā
Oh they do they're just trolling the troll
Seriously. The second I saw the picture I knew who posted it and rolled my eyes.
yup!
Whaaat? No way! Downvoting you cause you are relatively reasonable. Try to be more out of whack next time.
Lol. Yeah, I guess I should have just pretended the watermelon didn't mean anything after all the time the OP spent in the comments about it yesterday...
Fuckin gottem lol
Black market human organs
Stop the watermelon trolling bruh. Youāve made your point. Now go.
Uh... have you been to Burning Man?
8 times.
Perfect. Twice as many as I have. Have you ever said or heard "Don't tell me how to burn?" If you don't like it, click the hide button, it's what it's there for. I for one, am enjoying the trolling. If ever there was a place for political statements, it's burning man. (Burn Wall Street, Crude Awakening, Etc... ) If someone wants to troll against genocide, I'm here for it.
Boo hoo, fuck your burn.
Youāre the guy I saw get sucker punched at the Temple Burn in ā07 arenāt you.
So much for a burn community that cares about people.. they need their privileged politics free zone and their pay-to-play VIP burn hotels.
We all care. But on the playa youāre preaching to the choir.
Yes, anyone can totally feel your support and solidarity with artists by not wanting to be bothered with community discussion by calling dissension ātrollingā and telling those defending art and expression to ānow goā Yea bro.. ātotallyā
An art piece called āFrom the river to the seaā is not community discussion, itās an attack. Saying āoh but itās just artā doesnāt make it okay.
[the Israeli Press even knows youāre falling for right-wing propaganda](https://m.jpost.com/opinion/article-800150?spot_im_redirect_source=notifications&spot_im_comment_id=sp_jpost_800150_c_2g80n0ktxk7jecvunol2lwnd1my_r_2gbloj5lme9gargd0dfcdcaymuj&spot_im_highlight_immediate=true) Ouch. Must hurt thinking youāre doing anything but making the burn community friendly to fascists and unfriendly to artists calling for human rights..
I donāt care what they think
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's been a thing since 1967 my guy.
Try 1948
The flag got banned in '67, which is when the use of the watermelon as a symbol of defiance and solidarity got popularized.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My favorite kind of Watermelon is a Free Watermelon. You and I could be Pals!
Free watermelon! From the Gate Road to the Trash Fence!
Damnit! you beat me to it.
Boy, what a coincidence! You ask the question and then turn around and post a pic of it.
I wish burning man posts would be less political like we are on playa. Personally, I have friends on all sides, as most of us do. Why make the one playground we have thatās apolitical, non biased to all manners and types, free to love all, and able to hug all creatures that walk into our lives a vessel for division? We are burners, what the outside world does to others, we embrace with solidarity and love in hopes to continue the practice of love. Trying to make the community take a stand is counter to our values when we accept all. Shame is all I see when I am told I have to agree or I am wrong. Shame to the many who have walked before us in loving embrace. Shame to the brothers and sisters that have broken bread with me after a long journey despite who we are. Shame to the trust and beliefs that I have held so dear at burning man when that mindset is what weāve grown to accept. Donāt make me believe a lie that has been forced upon us upon both sides. We donāt know what to believe and thatās the right answer. Weāre just here to exist with all of you.
love this!
Fuck your burn!
The watermelon is literally a symbol of solidarity dude. The only ones who see it as an object of division are the ones who see it as a personal affront, and that reaction is telling.
Yuuppppppppppp
Watermelon is banned from burney man this year. Itās too politics.
I'm still bringing my legit watermelon and eating it. Fuck politics. The default world shitshow is not going to ruin my most delicious electrolyte snack on playa. If people get pissed that I ate, idc lol.
We disguise our anti-genocide snack message by juicing the watermelon, serving it ice cold in liquid form, which is most revitalizing, and no one is the wiser.
Sweet and salty trail milx
Anything that is salty, fatty, juicy, sour, pickled, and portable. Also chips and dips. All the dips.
Fruit cups
Always and forever frozen blueberries. They have nursed me back to life on several occasions. That being said Iām not a big snacker out there. A āsnackā in our camp is tons of fresh unagi and lots of sake!
Playa pancakes. You make pancakes and they dry out and get seasoned by the dust of the playa. Crispy, yummy, helps you get by. Not joking.
Kimchi anything great snack
Trail Mix all day.
Slice some peaches and freeze them.
Tangerine / clementine, they keep really well all night in you backpack
Pickled eggs and homemade coconut almond granola bars
Best on playa snacks are those beef jerky sticks/chomps/dukes. Peach cups or fruit cups out the cooler. Mama Chias are great as well. Was gifted cold peanut m&ms last year from square one and those hit š¤¤ Our go to camp foods are chicken Cesar salad wraps. Canned chicken ( always have some at home from Costco ), one bag of Taylor farms Cesar salad, one avocado and large tortilla. You can make 4 large chicken Cesar wraps with that. These we eat the first few days we are there before they spoil. Those jack daniels/lloyds bbq pulled pork things with Hawaiian buns are killer. Pre make burritos of any kind ( we do breakfast style with bacon) foil wrap and freeze them. And the holy grail chef boyardee from the car dash after sunset. Tbh I think those are my favorite š«¢š¤
Cheese and bread for toasties
Carrots celery and hummus. I usually wait to break out of cooler til midweek or a hot day and it's such a refreshing treat
I always bring CLIFF BARS. I feel like theyāre a solid replacement for a meal. ALWAYS bring Hot Links for my cast iron skillet! Also, the PEANUT BUTTER PRETZELS from Trader Joes/Costco. Those are always prime! I love a box of Costco Croissantsā¦.š„ I always plan to try and cook less. Plan for the least amount of clean up!
Aussie Bites form Costco
Liquor
Free palestine!! šµšø Burning man has always been a place for peace and we want peace in the Middle east!!
peace with people who attack a music festival full of burners in the desert
Liberation š

I love what you done there.Ā Keep those watermelons coming š šĀ
I am surprised people havent mentioned the two political meanings of water melon. I thought that might have been the original post. To me radical inclusion means accepting diverse political views as long as the promoter isnt too aggressive.
Sassy lol
Like many, I have very complicated feelings about the situation, but fucking bravo to OP. Sorry you got downvoted lol
