Re: Two virgins from Norway 2018. Help? Is our tent good enough?

Happy new years! Thanks for all the good tips everyone. (So sorry for my silence, life in the default world has been consuming my time) We've decided to drop getting the Fairbanks Tipitent, and will focus on finding a more affordable one to bring on the playa instead. So we're most likely going to b...

Re: Two virgins from Norway 2018. Help? Is our tent good enough?

Being active on eplaya is a good way to get to know folks who have camps. This is much better than randomly handing over dues to a camp which may or may not be a good fit. I don't think we're going to pick someone at random and hope for the best really :P But we're using the BRC map from 2016 and t...

Re: Two virgins from Norway 2018. Help? Is our tent good enough?

Thanks everyone :) You might want to think about the cost of air freight/excess baggage to get the tent to the States. The tentipi doesn't weigh that much thankfully (20lbs). So bringing it on the plane isn't a huge hassle as we can both have 45-50lbs of luggage with us each (+35-45$ for 1 extra 45-...

Two virgins from Norway 2018. Help? Is our tent good enough?

Hi, we're two people from Norway coming to BM 2018 (Yes I know it's almost a year until the next BM happens, but we want to be ready) We started discussing going to BM after I found the livestream for it this year. At first it was just a thought of "wow this looks kinda cool", but then we started re...
