There is a lot of information about surviving in the desert. It comes from people that have been going to the event since it's inception over 25 years ago.
Dear Scruffyboy,
When I read your suggestion of the "Burning Man" website for desert survival, I immediately thought: yea, right. Burning Man may be a good place to throw up in the desert, but not much help for a bike tourist.
But I checked out the website anyways, and found it pretty good - at least for people who don't have much of a notion of what the desert might hold in store for them. Better yet, it's funny. Thanks for the suggestion.
