Major Similarities
- The escapist atmosphere
- Freezing man is not a commercial endeavor– besides the general cost of admission to cover the infrastructure associated with the event, no money is exchanged during the 4 days
- You are encouraged to create Freezing Man. Meaning you invent the events and host them
- Regular party things like alcohol and loud music are generally deemphasized in favor of new and interesting experiences that is hard to have in normal circumstances
Major Differences
- The heat and dust are replaced with cold and saunas
- At least at this point, it’s smaller and more intimate
- Freezing Man is 4 days vs 9 days for Burning Man
- Emphasis hot instead of cold
- Sauna/hot tub/snow
- Instead of camping, we stay in yurts
