TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

In short, I use many different cameras and protect them in various ways. Don't worry. Let it get dirty. Get it cleaned after the event. A professional cleaning us usually less than $100, which is a fraction of what you spend to spend a week at Burning Man. I have handy links below. There are many more tips below!

Welcome to my Burning Man story!

Hi, I'm Trey Ratcliff. People have been asking me to write an article about how to protect your camera gear in the harsh environment at Burning Man forever. Well, this is it! There is a bit of an emphasis on camera-stuff, since that is my main focus, but I touch on various other things in the article. Who the heck am I and what am I about? Check below... keep in mind I don't take myself seriously at all... but I am here to help you! :)

Burning Man 2019 Update!

I'll be back this year for my 10th year in a row and we'll be doing another photo walk! Check my Facebook page for info on the walk (in short, Wednesday at Center Camp around 7 PM!). Feel free to come out. Any camera is fine from a mobile phone to a DSLR. I share lots of tips and tricks... get a little philosophical about creativity, and try to help you down your own path. :)
