- civilitty 3y ago90% of people way overpack for Burning Man to the point where I stopped bringing food the last few years I attended. No one will go hungry, not even the dumbest of sparkle ponies. I wager there's enough food on the playa right now to last at least another two weeks, maybe a month with even a modicum of rationing. The camps I frequent would end up splitting up the left over alcohol the morning of exodus. The drugs on the other hand? Those might run out well before the food and leave everyone coming down with nothing to do but stare at the mud.

And, yes, some of us Americans will never starve even if food prices go up 10,000%. I wouldn't doubt Home Depot and Costco stocks blip up for the quarter due to the vast "non-consumerism" consumerism preceding said event.
