MASHOUT Site Rules


Following is a brief summary of the MASHOUT Site Rules. These rules are also available on the MASHOUT FAQ. It is very important that everyone attending the event adhere closely to these rules.


  • Firearms and fireworks are strictly prohibited from the MASHOUT site.
  • Bringing of pets to MASHOUT is strictly prohibited. The property owner reserves the right to turn away any attendee who brings a pet to the event.
  • Fires at campsites are strictly prohibited because of the extreme fire danger. There is a big well-supervised campfire in the pavilion area each night.
  • Because of safety concerns, motorized all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and go-karts are strictly prohibited from the site.
  • Entry into the site is controlled. IDs will be checked at the registration tent, and wrist bands will be used to distinguish those of drinking age from those who are not. These must be worn throughout the event and will be checked by MASHOUT staff. Children in particular must be supervised while at the MASHOUT site. Alcoholic beverages are strictly off limits for the underage. Parents will be held responsible for any kids found imbibing. Every vehicle will also be given a vehicle tag. Vehicle tags must be displayed at all times when entering and leaving the site.
  • Portable electrical generators are prohibited except those approved on an individual basis by MASHOUT management. Approved generators may be operated only during the hours of 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Other restrictions may apply.
  • All campers are responsible for policing their own campsites. There is a dumpster available for non-recyclable trash. However, because of major changes in the Alleghany County recycling scene, everyone is asked to take home all empty bottles and cans they bring to MASHOUT. Smokers are requested to police their own butts and not leave them anywhere on the MASHOUT site.
  • Remember that the farmhouse serves as living space for the landowner and his family. All those entering and leaving the MASHOUT site are requested to "drive gently" (that is, make as little noise as possible) when driving by the farmhouse. Also, it is requested that all respect the personal meditation area set aside by Mrs Popenoe, which will be duly marked.
  • Water balloons, while fun to launch, can be dangerous. They should be launched only into uninhabited areas. The pavilion area is strictly off limits. Balloon launchers are held accountable for their actions in the event of injury.
  • Everyone should respect the port o' pots. Those who must pay the inevitable penalty for overconsumption should head for the woods - not the nearest port o' pot.
