90% 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.

I would hazard enough do and they will all pull together in the face of adversity and make a good time of it.

Where "radial" obviously refers to the circular Black Rock City layout.

You get told from the start that these things happen so I wouldn't be feeling too bad for those who failed to heed advice.
