3SidedWholeSurvival Guide
REQUIRED READING FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS
Participants at 3SidedWhole events must bring all necessities to survive in the desert: food, shelter, water, fuel. As you read these guidelines for responsible behavior, please keep in mind that you are responsible for yourself at all times in every regard as you approach and once you enter the event. Above and beyond the provision for individual survival, everyone is requested to help ensure our collective survival by following very simple rules relating to public safety and community well-being. Everyone is expected to abide by these standards. Community membership is a privilege. Any violation of these requirements could result in ejection from the community.
We recommend you hydrate at the rate of one 8 oz glass of water per hour, whether or not you are thirsty!!!
DO NOT drive vehicles in camp. Be prepared to come to the event and anchor your vehicle. You may camp next to your vehicles, or you may choose to park your car and walk in to a camping site in our village. Please CARPOOL! For safety and community reasons, we strongly discourage leaving during the event.
We are not set up for commercial vending.
Leave no Trace. All participants are required to remove their own trash and garbage. Some receptacles or bins will be provided. Please take everything you brought to the event back home with you. 3sidedwhole provides outhouses for your use, as well as a wide variety of flora which appreciate watering. Do not throw trash in the toilets. Contribute to our long-term survival: Pack it In, Pack it Out. You are responsible for the condition of your campsite. Clean up as you go! Please plan to spend an hour or three at the end of the event to help us restore the land.
Observe fire rules. High winds create a serious fire hazard within the confines of our village. Fires are restricted to the open communal areas, where burn barrels and developed fire circles are provided. Do NOT build fires at your campsites. Aerial flares, rockets and explosives are prohibited. The possession of firearms or ammunition at a 3sidedwhole event is prohibited.
This is a Pet FREE Venue – Please leave your pets at home. Service dogs must be registered with the front gate.
You must have a ticket to enter the event and can be bought by contacting us – cash only. Your ticket is a revocable license. Violation of these rules, or violent or anti-social behavior, can result in revocation of your ticket and ejection from the event without refund. No one under 18 will be admitted without a responsible adult. Kids under 12 are free.
Our admission Gate usually open at 12:00 noon on Friday, for most events. Tickets sold at the gate will be priced higher than advance sale tickets. Tickets will be sold for CASH ONLY, no checks or credit cards will be accepted. No tickets will be sold at the Gate after 11:59 PM on Saturday
