If you go early for build week and leave before the man burns you don’t deal with any of that. You might wait at gate because of something weather related but it’s to be expected.

Been there, done that! I went in for build week a few times to set up our theme camp (Poly Paradise, home of the Human Carcass Wash!) You can also avoid crowds by leaving right when the temple drops. It's worked every time!

I have always wanted to go to the human carcass wash but I’m kinda shy. Also my camp had showers. This is different from the Dr bronners wash or the same?

Human Carcass wash is different; in the Dr. Bronner's wash, you wash yourself. In the Human Carcass wash, you wash others, and then others wash you.

Thank you for the clarification, definitely too shy. ☺️

You're welcome! The most interesting thing I saw while volunteering for the Human Carcass wash was seeing years of body shame being washed away along with the playa dust. So many people left all that behind; it was an honor to be a part of it.
