Yay!
It doesn’t look like I can get un-buried from work and projects enough to make it again this year… I’m not entirely giving up yet though.

Re: Help w/AMG deep cycle marine battery
BTW, easy way to kill any lead acid battery - put it on the ground on concrete in a damp garage or basement. Even trickle chargers on them if on the ground like that - deadski with enough time. All great info as usual… but this part is a very common myth. The same battery that goes dead on a concre...

Wanna know what works better, is more foolproof and simpler? Big plastic barrels. Just dump it in, empty them on your way home at an RV dump station. Evap ponds get all sorts of things dumped in them by random a-holes, they collect dirt and dust, they’re not always empty when you’re packing up, and ...

Once again I sat it out. I’ve long believed it would be great if conditions were super horrible… rain… major dust storms… wind… heat… It’ll weed out a lot of the bucket listers and punish the unprepared. I’m saying it’s a good thing. Every burner should arrive prepared as if no one else was going to...

Fasting out there, terrible idea. Don’t just plan on not eating. That’s literally the worst Burner prep I’ve ever heard. The way it really works is you need to show up prepared as if no one else would be there. This isn’t an easy, book accommodations and fly in kind of thing. Offering to cook for th...

Well I’ll just put it this way: I’d never buy a truck that had been used on the playa.

Re: How early can we line up outside the gate?
It’s impossible to plan to be near the front of the line. That’s because there will always be a ton of people piling up too early, and you’ll be behind them anyway. You still end up waiting. And 30,000 others have the same idea. If there wasn’t such a thing as being sent to the D lot, you’d still ha...

Re: Best playa bike mods for generic Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser?
Bolt on the most comfortable seat you can find.
Taller handlebars.
Lower gears, which is most easily accomplished with a smaller front crank sprocket ("chainwheel" to the purists).
GREASE!
Rear carrying rack. You'll end up wanting to carry stuff.
Spare tubes/patch kit.
