Coincidentally, attending this event could be a nice test of your survival skills...

"You're here to survive. What happens to your brain and body when exposed to 107 degree heat, moisture wicking off your body and dehydrating you within minutes? You know and watch yourself.

You bring enough food, water, and shelter because the elements of the new planet are harsh, and you will find no vending." from http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/experience.html
