Live to Burn Another Day

Burning Man LIVE

Burning Man takes practice. Tony “Coyote” Perez may be the best at thriving (and not dying) at Burning Man. He is the Black Rock City Superintendent, the Burning Man OSHA Instructor, and the 26 year Burner whose job it is to put himself in harm's way, then get out of his own way!

His tales stick in the mind to help us thrive. This is not a list of tips and tricks. Those are in the Survival Guide. This is a refreshing penumbra of practices held by the one’s having the most fun.

Sit in on a chuckling conversation between Stuart and Coyote. They put the wisdom in wise-crack. It’s not because they’re so smart, it’s because they’ve made every mistake there is, then asked why and how.

They debunk fallacies such as:

• The Hero Factor
• “The playa provides.”
• Self-reliance as independence

They share stories about curious topics, including:

• The culture of safety (Becoming involved in your own rescue)
• Situational awareness (Choosing to immerse into your new world)
• Serious self-care (and care of your people)

You may just find that the challenges of your campmates and your camp build (and camp strike) become easier and simpler and specialer (new word). You may just find that you banish bad luck.
