Shop the camp cart. Each piece is its own listing. We don't ship a kit as one box.
The week is the conditions. The camp cart is what we would put in the car first for one quiet camp that does not already have shade. It is a shopping list. We don't ship it as one box. The city's Survival Guide still outranks a cart if the two disagree.
We are an independent outfitter. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Burning Man Project. The event name is used so you know which week this gear is for.

Read the note
The frame we opened is an Impact Canopy 10 by 10, straight-leg steel, often about $250. The solid top that comes in the bag stays in the car. A solid roof bakes the camp. The mesh sidewalls in that kit are not a dust wall, and they sail. Put the open knit on the frame instead.
The knit we opened is a POYEE 10 by 15, an 85 percent reflective cloth, often about $35. It is mesh. Air can move. It is not waterproof, and it is not a structure. The 12-inch hex-head lags, often about $35 for the pack of 25 with washers, go at every foot. The short stakes in the canopy kit are not the anchors. Ratchet straps carry the cloth. If the wind is winning, people get clear and the cloth comes down.
Sleep and water
The cot is the TETON Outfitter XXL, often $100–160. It packs long. Measure the car. The bag is the Kelty Cosmic Synthetic, often about $65, a synthetic the maker rates at 40°F. That rating is their number. Nights fall into the forties anyway, and a sheet will not cover it.
Two 7-gallon Aqua-Tainers are often about $54. That is fourteen gallons, a serious start for one person's drinking water, not washing for a camp. The gallon math, including the Survival Guide's 1.5 gallons a person a day, lives on the water page. Do it before you buy a cute bottle and call the week handled.
Shade
- The piece we list
- Straight-leg 10 by 10, open knit, 12-inch lags.
- The swap
- A slant-leg pop-up and a blue tarp.
- Why the swap fails
- It walks, and you bake.
Sleep
- The piece we list
- A wide cot and a 40°F bag.
- The swap
- A sheet on the ground.
- Why the swap fails
- The ground pulls heat. The night is in the forties.
Power
- The piece we list
- About 300 watt-hours, charged before the gate.
- The swap
- A bigger phone bank, or a fridge on the same box.
- Why the swap fails
- The bank is not a station. The station is not an air conditioner.
The bike
- The piece we list
- A front beam, a red rear, a U-lock.
- The swap
- A glow stick and a cable.
- Why the swap fails
- Glow sticks become moop. A cable is how a bike leaves.

The bike and the box
The Cygolite set is often about $86. A throw forward, a flash behind, on mounts that are not a sticker. Charge them. Take them when you lock up. The lock is the Kryptonite Evolution, often about $110, an 11mm U-lock through the frame. A tall flag is still the thing other riders see above the crowd. El wire is optional. The flag and the lights are the job.
The Explorer 300 is often about $200–300. Our note describes it as about 300 watt-hours and about 300 watts: lights, phones, a fan, and a laptop. It does not run a compressor cooler and a sound camp at the same time, and it does not run the WAVE 3. Keep it in the shade. A foldable panel is a top-up you have tested, not the plan.
The walk from the car
A folding wagon is how the jugs and the cot bin get from the car to the hex. The button searches for an all-terrain wagon, because the box we used to link is not in stock. Bearings pack with dust. Rinse them on the way out. The bike still does the riding. The wagon is the unload.
What we leave out of the cart on purpose
A costume. A second shade, if camp already has one in writing. A generator. An air conditioner. A hard-shell shelter we cannot link. Glitter. The cooler and the stove are the kitchen kit, because food is a different bin from the frame. The ranges for the smaller shelf, and why we will not add them up, are the price page.
Ask what camp already covers before you buy this twice. That page is questions to ask your camp. The anchors, once the frame is in the car, are shade for the wind. The camp cart kit is the same list with buttons. The price shelves are how the ranges sit, without a fake total.

- What is in the camp cart?
- A straight-leg 10 by 10, open knit, 12-inch lags, a wide cot, a bag the maker rates at 40°F, jugs, a front and rear bike light, a U-lock, a wagon, and a small power station. We do not ship that as one box. Each piece is the listing on its own page.
- Do I need the whole cart if camp already has shade?
- No. Get shade, water, kitchen, power, and toilets in writing. Pack the gaps. A second frame, bought out of politeness, is a kite you now have to anchor. The questions to ask are their own page.
- Why are the ranges different from a kit price?
- There is no kit price. The Impact 10 by 10 is often about $250. The Explorer 300 is often about $200–300. The cot is often $100–160. Those lines are already on the product pages. Adding them would invent a total, and today's price is on the listing.
