Burning Man
City in the Desert
Burning Man with Solar Plus camp
We go to Burning Man in Nevada's Black Rock Desert and build our own camp there — Solar Plus. We're all about cleanliness, solar power and people who take initiative and can handle themselves. We live in RVs, cook together, clean up together and share the wildest week of the year.
The Burn means dust, heat and real stress — but also incredible freedom, art and people. We'll help you get through it prepared.

for us — we know how everything works here
How the week goes
From prepping and building camp to the last speck of MOOP — here's how our Burn works.
.
.
01.
Prep and building camp
We stock up on water and groceries, roll into Black Rock City and build Solar Plus camp together.
We put up shade structures and wrap the RVs in reflective film so they stay cooler and the dust stays out.

Life in camp
Breakfast in camp in the morning; art, parties and exploring the city during the day.
We give talks on solar panels and charge bikes and everything else with the sun. Everyone has their own cooking and cleaning shifts.

The Man burn and the Temple burn
On Saturday the Man burns — the biggest night of the week, with fire and fireworks.
On Sunday the Temple burns: a quiet, deeply moving night you'll remember forever.

Striking camp and heading out
Together we take camp down, peel the film off the RVs and pick up every bit of MOOP — any trash that might have blown away.
We leave the desert as clean as we found it.

Why people go with us
We don't go to the Burn as tourists — we go as our own camp, and we bring people who share our values.
.
Our own camp: Solar Plus
Talks on solar energy, charging from the sun, cleanliness and order. We value people who take initiative and can handle themselves.
We choose our campmates
We don't take just anyone: first an application, then a personal call with everyone. We want people who are open, know the Burning Man principles and respect each other. Rudeness doesn't fly with us.
Breakfast and dinner
We have breakfast and dinner in camp. There's no lunch on purpose: during the day everyone explores the city, and other camps are always sharing food — it's part of the gifting culture.
Life in an RV
We sleep in RVs and keep them spotless inside. There's a shower, but it's a quick rinse to wash off the dust, not 50 minutes under hot water: we refill water and empty the tanks once a week.

Who we are — Bisha and Danila
We’ve been traveling all our lives: Bisha has 35+ countries behind her, Danila 45+. And not the obvious ones: Kenya, nights in tents in Africa, Iran, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Portugal.
We met in New York, and in our very first year together we drove across the whole of America in an ordinary car: a big cross-country trip, Burning Man and the entire South.
The next year, just for fun, we bought an RV and invited our friends. They kept coming back and asking for longer routes, and that’s how The RV Escape was born. We still go on every tour ourselves — Danila and Bisha, always together.

FAQ
Answers to the main questions about Burning Man with us: selection, food, showers, packing and cleanup.
.
We don't take just anyone. First you fill out an application, then we have a personal call to get to know each other. We want open, self-reliant and friendly people who know and respect the 10 Principles of Burning Man. We don't take rude people.
We have breakfast and dinner in camp. There's no lunch on purpose: during the day everyone explores the city, and other camps are always sharing food — that's the gifting culture. We cook and clean in shifts, and everyone has their own duties.
Up to 6 guests — a cozy group in comfortable RVs.
Yes, the RV has a shower, but it's a quick rinse to wash off the dust, not a long hot shower: we refill water and empty the tanks once a week. Washing your hair at the Burn is pointless — the alkaline dust works like dry shampoo, so we suggest braiding your hair.
One suitcase per person — space in the RV is tight. The full packing list is in our Burning Man prep guide on the website.
MOOP (Matter Out Of Place) is any trash that shouldn't be left in the desert, from a bottle to a single sequin. We build and strike camp together, and at the end the whole camp sweeps for MOOP. That's why you shouldn't bring anything with feathers or sequins — anything that falls off becomes trash.
