Panty Camp campers must meet a set of criteria. While the love of all panties ranks high among these criteria, so does a commitment to preserving the Burning Man community, protecting our privileged use of the playa, and respecting the land we camp on. All Panty Camp campers are committed to the "Leave no Trace" philosophy.

All Panty Camp campers are required to either be there for the beginning of camp set up, or till the bitter end of tear down. Most of us stay till the bitter end of tear down anyways, but this rule guarantees that there will be at the very least half of us will be there till the end of clean up.

All Panty Camp campers are expected to contribute 2 hours to community clean up. After our camp's tear down we take a little break, then venture out again to the playa for more.

All new campers to Panty Camp are absolutely required to read the required reading on the site, and are also "briefed" (get it? a panty pun!) on proper Panty Camp etiquette. They are also advised on which sparkly fabrics are moop-free, which decor and camping items work on the playa, what food creates less moop, how to pack to create less trash, etc. Glass is not allowed at Panty Camp, nor are sequins, feathers, or nuts with shells.

Most of our decor is, well, panties, but any other camp decor is limited to items that won't blow away, fall apart, melt, bleed, run, etc.

We don't let it touch the ground. We all carry zip lock bags on us at all times, whether at camp or out on the playa, so that any piece of moop, no matter how small, may be collected immediately. We also like to give zip locks to people, so that they may do the same. This mentality is very important to us, and we maintain it from the moment we arrive.

We prepare our building materials ahead of time and do all we can to minimize the amount of moop created while we set up.

Our camp's structures are very solid, and all are secured with covered (not exposed) rebar. Aside from the rebar, we will not dig any holes or leave any other playa scars.

Our camp's smokers are required to carry ashtrays with tight fitting lids. They also get 30 lashes with a panty every time they light up.

Our camp's mess tent includes recycling bins. We pack our recycling home.

If any of our campers' vehicles drip oil, they will be required to park on a tarp, and to pack out their oil.

Campers are responsible for packing out all of there own trash. There is a 'communal' trash receptacle in the mess tent, which is reserved for any extra moop that wanders into our camp, or for any kind of "communal" mess. They are not for our personal trash.

Every camper is expected to keep their living space moop and trash free, but we are all work together to keep the entire camp clean. We clean it up, no matter who's moop it is.

We pack out all our trash. Panty Camp campers are also committed to getting the trash *all the way home*, or to an appropriate dumpsite.

We pack out our gray water. We have an evaporation pool for some of it, but most of itgets packed out. We don't let anything hit the playa, not even soapy water.

We observe the "if it didn't come from your body, don't put it in the potty" rule.

After the camp is broken down, each camper is assigned an area of square footage. On our hands and knees we scour the playa, putting anything we find into empty water jugs. We also bring a rake and a push broom for playa combing.

We will not be burning anything this year.
