• PFR is held at The Lodge at Turtle Lake, which is PRIVATE PROPERTY. Please respect any and all rules put forth by the owners.
• Any infraction of mundane law, i.e., theft, threat to or endangerment of others, possession or use of illegal substances, etc., are grounds for immediate expulsion from the festival, and possible arrest, if appropriate.
• Illegal substances are absolutely forbidden, by any and all people!! This is very important if you can't abstain for the weekend, please stay home. We run the risk of losing the site and our freedoms otherwise. Don't use drugs at PFR; don't even bring them.
• Underage drinking, gross drunken behavior, and unwanted sexual attention (harassment) will not be tolerated.
• TAKE OUT YOUR OWN TRASH: PFR follows a Leave-No-Trace (LNT) ethic. This essentially means that YOU are responsible for removing any and all trash that you bring or generate while there (right, that means no one will be picking up or hauling off your trash). The dumpster down the road is closed to anyone without Mitchell County tags, so plan on taking your trash all the way home with you. If you'd like to read up on LNT, here are some good LNT principles & ideas as they apply to Burning Man specifically: http://www.burningman.com/ environment/resources/lnt.html. Prepare ahead of time; remove all excess packaging from things, bring things in large containers rather than several small ones, prepackage your food before you leave home, plan to recycle some of your trash (glass, cans) later, check your camp and surrounding areas for MOOP (Matter Out of Place) very carefully before you leave.
• DOGS are NOT allowed at PFR for any reason whatsoever, but other animals may be allowed after consideration. Please email for permission.
• Radical Self-Reliance: This means taking responsibility for yourself and the people around you. Come prepared. This is not an event where all the home comforts are supplied, or even available. You are expected to bring everything you think you will need: clothing, food, water, shelter, toiletries, first aid, etc. You *must* take home your own trash. You must clean up after yourself *everywhere* on site, and be sure your camp and surroundings are free of MOOP. There is no one there to clean up behind you or do things for you.
• PFR is a private function, and is off-limits to media personnel acting in a professional capacity.
• PFR is clothing optional behind the barriers that will block us from view of the highway.
• No one is required to attend our ceremonies or classes, but please respect the rights of those who choose to do so; try to keep your noise, music and conversation to a minimum during these times if you are close by.
• Firearms are not allowed on the site at all.
• Children under the age of 18 must be under adult supervision at all times.
