South Bay Decommodification Swap + Picnic

Join us for an all-day picnic and hangout, bring your dogs, kids, and Frisbees! Since we’ll be in a park, you can also demo or practice setting up a tent, hexayurt or shade structure, and start a conversation over the BBQ about how to help each other out as we plan for Burning Man.

As your thoughts turn to Burning Man, what will your camping situation be? Are you upsizing your tent? Upgrading to a camper or RV? Have you figured out a bigger and better shade structure? Ditching your cooler because you joined a camp with a full kitchen?

Whatever your circumstances, hang on to your old stuff! In April, we’re going to have a picnic event in a local park that includes a Decommodification Burner Swap! Think “freecycle” and then bring your clean, working camping gear to exchange or gift to a new Burner. At the end of the day, any items not exchanged will go to the San Jose EHC Lifebuilders shelter.

BRING: Old camping gear plus charcoal, items for the grill, salads, ice, deserts and BYOB
