“Burning Man Supply Table” – Active Rentals, San Francisco

I just rolled into San Francisco for a photo shoot in Napa. Right off the plane straight into a 20 foot cube truck to pickup equipment. While getting scaffolding at Active Rentals I noticed this table of essential Burning Man supplies.

If you don’t know what Burning Man is you can google it, but it’s essentially a “secret” desert carnival for hippies, new-agers, ravers, off-gridders and performance artists.

Some of the things you definitely need: rope, tarps, protective goggles and respirators. Apparently it gets quite dusty.
