Ahhh, there's nothing quite like burning an effigy in the middle of the desert in late flashlightsummer; and anyone who goes to burning man knows this. But what if you've never been? BurningMan.com kindly offers all manner of BM information, among it, a Survival Guide for beginners.

head lampThis guide is a great resource for any desert trip and ACE can help with some of the details. Lighting in the middle of BLM land is a big deal and as per the BMSG (Burning Man Survival Guide) here's what you need to know about lighting your way in the desert:

"...light yourself, your bike, your art, and your belongingshat lightWELL, front and back. Consider a good LED headlamp, LED blinky lights, or EL wire – weak glow sticks and bracelets DON’T cut it and become instant trash and potentially MOOP." I don't know what MOOP stands for either. Some suggestions: Molecular Orbital Overlap Population; Museum of Ornamental Post; Means of Operator Protection; and the most likely in this instance - Matter Out of Place. I'm not a burner, so someone more experienced can certainly help me out here.

Duct Tape; Duck TapeBut I digress, ACE can help you prepare for Burning Man in all sorts of ways, from safety items to the all-encompassing duct tape, from hammers and nails for your project to non-obvious float accessories and parts. Who knew an elbow joint could have so much versatility?
