The directory

Every event, status-checked.

Dead events stay listed and marked DEAD — a directory that hides deaths is how you drive four hours to a locked gate. Data as of 2026-07-18.

No gold. No browsing. Just what’s moving toward you: National Weather Service feeds first, road + hazard reports second. Offline packs for when the towers choke.

Weather sourced from the National Weather Service (authoritative, free, public). Road + hazard reports are community-confirmed. FestiVets never publishes enforcement-evasion content.

The survival guides

Veteran knowledge, written down.

Every event gets a field guide: what to pack for that venue, where the water actually is, which entrance lies about its wait time, what first-timers regret. Written and corrected by people with the dust — and the stamps — to prove it.

$1.11 unlocks one event’s full guide + its live alerts. Not a subscription. The price of a gas-station water.

Burn guides are always free. Decommodification is the culture — we’re guests in it, and safety knowledge is a gift.

  • Dust mask + sealed goggles; contacts are a rookie tax
  • Cash for ice — the one thing sold on site
