thanks for the info Savannah!

Any rope dartists here. Do you ever perform at the burn? I just took it up 2 months ago.

Just curious

Hey Burners Extraordinaire, I'm thinking ahead and was wondering about those microwavable rice pouches you see in the store now. The pouch is 460 Caleries combind that with tasty bites currie pouches (which can be boiled) it would be 750 caleries. Pretty good to start you day with for all the playa ...

Panel Tilt 40.78 degrees from level would be perfect for BRC at high noon on equinox. 31 degrees for the last week of August, but erring toward 40-45 is just fine. More tilt gathers less dust and that extra 10-15 degrees won't cost you one drop of electricity. . the panels I'm considering are the f...

[quote="Jeannie Ginx" post_id=1202330 time=1593972452 that equals 67.2 watts per hour? So my panel should be able to run this no problem? If you trouble yourself to point the panel toward sunrise before sleeping you can get 5.9A peak output 30 min after sunrise. Adjust it 2-3 times a day and you ca...

considering a second panel. Do you guys perfer to set up in parallel or series? I'm going to use a rockpals power station. So I can't decide if the volts or the amps is the most important thing to keep. Paralell increased amps and same volts series increased volts and same amps So many decisions bef...

Thanks Canoe. yup a dark tarp is counterintuitive. I've heard so many opposing suggestions like using a white tarp since white reflects heat and such. Also thanks for the compass info. I had planned on a north/south orientation and now I have a better idea. I've already orderted the stuff to make my...

Canoe, thanks for the input. I was going to put down a white tarp of the money hut and lay aluminet on top of the white tarp of the hut. So I have wind/dust protection with the tarp and the solar/heat protection from the aluminet. Aluminet will protect from sun but not wind/dust hence the combo meal...

Hey smart electronics burner. Lets see if my rudamentary electronics skills got this right. I want to get a 100Watt solor panel with a compatible power station. So say during the day and factor in non peak sun we should get about 80watts/hour on average from the panel The watt for your devises is th...

thanks for the info Canoe. I was worried about a sand storm and was hopeing that a tarp under the aluminet would protect us a bit more in case we had a white out. Something to think about. I wonder if I can find a way to have my white tarp down first, something on top of that for airflow and the alu...

i'm building my first monkey hut shade structure. I'm going with white tarp and cover that with aluminet to reflect sun rays back. I hope that the white tarp will allow a bit of light to come in around the bottom of the hut and the very top of the hut to be total shade.

youre all awesome

Hey all, what do you like to moisturize with? I hear lotions are a pain cause you can get all sticky and toss dust on top. Is it true that Grapeseed oil is a really good alternative to lotion moisturizers? I hear it won't leave you feeling sticky. Thanks Loves J PS I got paid today so I'll buy some ...

Has anyone ever attempted to erect a monkey hut by their lonesome?

I might do my first burn as a solo. Want my hut to be about 6 feet tall for guests. I'm 5'3". thinking a step ladder is a must.

Love
J

PS will attempt it by myself in my yard first.

I'm just posting a "hi there" so I can find this thread later.

Cheers
J

I know close to nothing about this subject.

does that include 2 way walkie talkies?

After reading your comments and looking at youtube and the burner websites I'm going with a monkey hut and then put a small dome tent under it with a seating area. I love this much more. less expensive and looks like it is more wind resistant then a popup tent. I know that you need to be self relian...

Thanks. I think my melt water will end up being my shower/cleaning water

Love
j

thanks for all the info

and Yes! i'm excited for my first burn. only have 14 months to prepare

thank

thanks grumpyotter!!

Hey burners Pre-PS ok found some good advice on some burner websites. so the recommendation is 1.5 gallons a day. one gallon to drink and the other half for washing, food prep and misting. So 20 gallons for one person for 10 days is just about right. the extra half gallon a day will be for that occa...

Hey everyone, I did a search for car care and I seem to just find care for your bike. 2021 will be my first burning man. I've been researching on youtube of all places :) . great vids btw. I've seen lots of folks tape up the cracks in their cars and cover their exhaust after they park. Are their any...

Hey Lightspeed: So I was thinking about putting the two popup shade tents next to the car. one at the front of the car and one at the back of the car. Tie the shade fabric on the legs of the popup tents and put it over the car. I was also thinking of some kind of stake in the popup tent's legs and p...

Thanks Popeye, didn't think of that. the material is rather rough.

Don't mind if I follow this thread? I'm looking as well. Classic rock is what sealed the deal.

2021 will hopefully be my first burn.

Awesome on the tiny home.

Just remember dear folks, dry ice is frozen CO2. if you sleep in your vehicle keep your cooler outside at night while you sleep and put it in there during the day. Just in case you taped up your car and have a small air leak in your cooler. I use to have a huge freezer of dry ice at work for packing...

Hey folks. first I did a search but didn't see this, so sorry for the redundancy. I'm planning on bringing 2 pop up shade tents. one in front of my car and one in the back. Then stretch a shade cloth between the two pop up tents over the car. My question is will my tents turn into murderous MOOP fly...

Thanks for all the info. You guys are all crazy and beautiful. been reading a lot of posts on different threads. Why have I never done this before?

have a lovely day all!
J

ok, gotcha
