Where are we going?
No worries, check out our: Google Map of the event site location.
Ride-share and Tentshare
As usual, we're providing a Google Doc to help you connect with each other for carpooling and sharing camping equipment. The Rideshare boards usually pick up in traffic and use the few weeks leading up to the event. The Doc is here.
The rideshare board is on the first worksheet, the tent-share is on the second. To find the tent-share board, look for the "Tent-share" tab at the bottom of the page.

What is the Massive food Coop?
As always, collective meals and snacks will be available all day every day. Everyone who wants to eat with us can buy shares, and our kitchen team will pool all the cooperative food funds and volunteer labor, and use it to provide totally awesome meals made with the most fresh, local and organic food possible. Vegan and gluten-free options will be available at every meal.
One share ($10/day) entitles you to one day with 3 meals. You may buy any combination of regular (vegetarian) or meat shares you like. The total number of shares you purchase should be the same as the total number of days you plan to attend (and eat at) the event.
Meat will be available at this event. Because meat is extremely resource intensive not just to produce, but to buy, refrigerate off grid, and prepare safely, meat shares will be more expensive. One meat share ($17/day) will entitle you to one day of meals, including two 3 - 4 oz. servings of meat. If you think you want twice that amount, feel free to purchase multiple shares for each day.

What to Bring
This is a mostly off-the-grid event: Please don't expect to be able to charge your cell phone or your air mattress pump. We will have an outdoor shower available and an army of porta-johns. To make sure you are fully prepared, make sure you bring all of the following:
- Everything you need for camping (or have some prearrangements to share tent space). We are talking ground pad, sleeping bag, tent, the works.
- Sun screen and clothes to be in the sun for much of the day. Temperatures at night will probably be in the 50s with daytime highs in the 80s.
- Swimming Suit for swimming in our beautiful rock quarry swimming hole!
- Snacks, If you buy meal shares we will feed you three meals a day plus snacks, (with vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and meat options). If, however, you have other crazy allergies or dietary restrictions, it's probably a good idea to bring some of your own food regardless of whether you buy meal shares.
- Your own eating utensils. We can't possibly provide enough cups, bowls, plates, and silverware for everybody without resorting to the environmentally insensitive use of disposable dishware. We will provide a washing station, but please bring a set of reusable utensils. Please note that during the event dishware inevitably becomes communal when left on our drying rack. Put your name and city on whatever you bring and we'll try to get it back to you if you lose it (but don´t bring your grandmother´s china or anything else you'd be devastated to lose).
- Clothes to be screen printed. We will be offering custom-prints on any clothes you choose to bring. Clothing must be dropped off for screen printing on Friday and/or Saturday morning and will be available for pick-up Sunday afternoon. The inks will be black and white, so bring clothes that will show those colors well. Also keep in mind that textured fabric and seams are hard to print on and often produce less-than-ideal outcomes.
