Furthermore, when environmentally beneficial, to actively push for and deploy as much of their shelter components in the default world.
Mission: How We'll Get There
- Through Education, information sharing, and the blast certification process, camps will improve and help each other achieve the 2030 goal.
What We're Working On

- compiling questions for the Blast certification scoring card
- creating a volunteer checklist and handbook, for on playa blast certification
- Brain storming on tough subjects. for example: A vendor delivered RV may be wasteful when it houses one member, whereas, a self owned RV brought in from Reno by a local member and shared by 6 people, is quite an efficient way to house 6 members comfortably.
- other - waiting on your input and help to find out what's missing.
