Chapter 1.2 - Get Prepared
Nothing entirely prepares you for Blaze. Even so, you should prepare. Blazing Swan takes place 275 kilometres from Perth, Western Australia. It occurs annually over the Easter weekend and takes place on a site with minimal water and facilities. In the spirit of RADICAL SELF RELIANCE you should bring what you need, or partner with others in the spirit of COMMUNAL EFFORT to bring what you need together. And in our principle of LEAVE NO TRACE you should take it all away with you afterwards. This all takes planning - so let’s talk about that.
You’ll need to consider how you’re taking everything to and from the event… safely.
One of the biggest risks is getting to and from the event. Make sure your vehicle is suitable, in good condition and can carry the load. Overpacking and having an overweight vehicle will put extra pressure on your tyres and change its weight distribution.
You may need to practice pack and cull some of what you’re taking.
Our community has experienced serious car accidents, and we don’t want it to happen to you.
