A winter sheet for the camp lead.

• Water to bring: 144 to 192 gallons (1.5 is the city's figure, 2 is our buffer).
• Drinking jugs: 28 of the 7-gallon jugs, sized to the 2-gallon end.
• Shade: 600 sq ft at 50 sq ft per person, our default.
• Cloth: 4 of the 10 by 15 foot open-knit cloths (150 sq ft each).
• Frames: 6 straight-leg frames if you count a 10 by 10 (100 sq ft) from the frame note. A 10 by 10 does not cover a 10 by 15 cloth.
• Stakes: 98, one per foot around one square of that shade. Count the feet on the frames you actually build.
• Straps: 24, four per 100 square feet and at least four.
• Inverter watts: 600 W. That is 2 boxes at about 300 watts, one box per 6 people. Not a generator model.
• Station capacity: 600 watt-hours, the same boxes, about 300 watt-hours each. Solar yield is assumed to be zero.
• Kitchen: no. 0 watts. A personal bowl is still a bowl.
• Shower: no. Wipes do most days. The gray-water line below does not turn off.
• Gray-water haul-out: 144 gallons at 1.5 gallons per person per day. Our assumption. Do not add it on top of the drinking water.
• Gray jugs: 29 of the 5-gallon jugs, labeled GRAY.
• Evaporation pond, if you build one against the city's camping-tips advice: 115.5 sq ft, holding that haul-out at 2 inches. Our depth, not an evaporation rate.
• Read the gray-water page before you dig a pond. Pack-out, a pump-out, and an evapotron are the options they describe.

Shade

600 square feet. Assumption: 50 square feet per person, the same planning default as the camp calculator. It is communal shade, not a tent, and it is not a city rule.

Suggested structures: 4 of the POYEE reflective shade cloth, 10 by 15 (150 square feet, the 10 by 15 we list), rounded up. The Straight-leg shade frame note says ten by ten or bigger, which is 6 frames if you count 100 square feet each. A 10 by 10 frame does not cover a 10 by 15 cloth. A slant-leg pop-up is not the structure. Anchors are the Long lag bolts, or 18-inch rebar (98, one stake per foot around one square of the whole shade) and the Ratchet tie-downs, 1 inch by 12 feet, 4 pack (24, four per 100 square feet and at least four). If you split the shade into separate frames, count the feet on those frames instead. The longer reading is the shade note and the shade kit.

Generator or solar, in watts

600 watts continuous, and 600 watt-hours of station capacity. Assumption: 2 boxes at about 300 watts and about 300 watt-hours, the figures on our Jackery Explorer 300 note, one box per 6 people. That people-per-box figure is the low setting on the camp calculator. Added together, those watts are the continuous number. They are not a generator model. We do not list a generator. A generator standing in for those boxes has to cover that continuous load, and a motor has a starting watt on its own label. We will not invent one.

A kitchen and a shower add 0 watts on this sheet. The stove we list is a fuel canister. The shower we list is a bag. A fridge, a sound system, or a compressor is a different project. Read the label. Sizing that kind of load is best power stations for Burning Man and the camp power note.

Solar: we do not print a panel-watt target. Assumption, the same one as the camp power note: charge the stations before the gate and treat a panel as a top-up that may return nothing. Dust and a whiteout are why. The Foldable solar panel is that top-up. Match the plug. The 12V camp string lights are a string for the frame, not the generator.

Water you bring

144 to 192 gallons. The low end is 1.5 gallons per person per day, the figure on their potable-water page for the whole event. The high end is 2 gallons per person per day, our buffer, not a city figure. 28 of the Reliance Aqua-Tainer, 7 gallon, two pack (7 gallons), sized to the high end and rounded up. The longer reading is the water note.

Kitchen

No camp kitchen. Assumption: 0 watts either way, because we are not adding an electric range we do not list. A personal Bowl and spork is still how someone eats. The cook kit is there if that answer changes.

Shower

No camp shower. Unscented wipes, in bulk do most days, and the used ones come home. The gray-water line below does not turn off when the shower is off. It is a wash-water assumption, not a forecast that a shower is running.

Gray water

Haul-out: 144 gallons. Assumption: 1.5 gallons per person per day of wash water. That is our number for this sheet. It matches the city's drinking figure and it is not a second supply. Do not add it on top of the gallons you bring. If people drink part of the 1.5, the gray water is what is left, and this 1.5 is the high case where nearly all of it becomes wash water. A kitchen or a shower is why wash water exists. Turning either one off does not zero this line, and turning both on does not raise it. We will not invent a second wash rate.

29 of the Gray-water jug (5 gallons), rounded up, labeled GRAY so nobody drinks them. The gray-water note is the jug and the short rinse.

Evaporation pond: 115.5 square feet. Assumption: the pond has to hold the whole haul-out at 2 inches deep, because a pond that stops evaporating still has to contain the water. One gallon is 231 cubic inches. The depth is ours. It is not an evaporation rate and not a Burning Man Project specification. Their camping-tips page says not to use evaporation ponds, and it describes packing the water out, an outside-services pump-out, and an evapotron. The Survival Guide's spill page lists a small-footprint evaporation pond as one option among others. Read both before you dig. We do not sell a liner, and we do not print a price for a pump-out.
