My 9 year does not like Porto-potties and I can’t even imagine my 5 year old daughter using one, tote a potty like part of my costume ??? Oh and the dust too, If a wind storm picks up all of sudden and your away from your camp and can’t see shit !!!! That’s how you lose your children.

Trade with other parents so I can go have some Adult-time… I don’t want to owe anybody for time, I’ve seen these children at Burning Man and I state this with some exception but a huge majority of them look sad and bored. Especially the pre teen boys & girls.

For the cost of this trip with the Family, you could goto Jamaica and have a blast on the beach…. Leave the kids behind, We Did !!! And We don’t want to hear your screaming baby, We left them at Grandma’s for that reason.

We should all give him a round of applause for pointing out our idiocy! My goodness, all this time I was apparently wrong when viewing this amazing artistic experience as a family affair. Of course it is common “knowledge” to everyone who has never been to burning man that we all just get together to do drugs and nothing else. His children must never scamper away at the grocery store or state fair… we should all follow his example and put a harness leash on all of our children, they must be a shining example of purist dependence following their lobotomy. What a Jackass.

Re: Lost child. That is the number one priority for Rangers, trumping even major medical emergencies, so the first thing to do when you notice your kidlet is missing: contact a Ranger. The gate will be closed and every Ranger and LEO will have his/her description and be on the lookout. Most missing child incidents are resolved in less than ten minutes.

Rather than make the kid wear a wrist tag with camp and contact info, why not write it in henna on the shoulder or wrist? One of my (adult) campmates did that last year and she commented it must have been effective — she woke up in camp more than one morning with no clue haw she’d gotten there.
