I just LOOOOVE getting invited to spring solstice events... You know there is no solstice in the spring right? It's called an equinox. Otherwise, I hope your events go great. [quote="Rabbi Dali Rick"]Thinking of doing a small Spring Solstice Event, March 20-22. you guys interested? I do know I will ...

http://www.burningman.com/preparation/event_survival/rvs.html "You can have your potable water tank recharged for a fee of $40." This is not exactly about JOTS, but most everybody knows what that stands for--My issue was actually with a truck that said United Site Services, which may have been lease...

[quote="golgotha-a-go-go"]unjon... http://www.wunderground.com/US/NV/Black_Rock_City.html I defer to this daily, a month or so before I go out... great for checking past days history on wind, max temp, barometric pressure, and all that stuff that's meaningless once you get to the playa and try to se...

[quote="safetythird"] The JOTS guys will pump your tanks for a small fee. Search the BM site. They will also refill with non potable water. Make sure there is a 30' clear path to your valves from the street. [/quote] Hi there... I have a 55gal drum I'll be carrying in empty. Where is the best place ...

It says right on the ticket that you can be turned away if you haven't brought proper survival items. That said, I know there are many camps where most of the water is hauled by a large truck, so I know he won't be a unique situation. Personally I would bring enough for a couple days even if somebod...

Toughbooks have been around for a long time... You can even find used ones.

I party in the high desert constantly with my girlfriend's ibook and it holds up amazingly well. Since I run my projector visuals off it, it sees some serious desert duty.

[quote="helitack"]Huh?[/quote]
What?! Where?

I have no sympathy for camp organizers who expect to throw a big theme camp with money other people give them... Delete their threads. They can throw a theme camp with what they own already, and stop renting a bunch of shit because that is the opposite of sustainable. My friends and I started a chur...

I've swamp cooled in the high desert while off the grid leave-no-trace camping. I bought a 3000CFM portable industrial cooler at the start of the summer because I'm getting married this year at the man and my bride is a heat casualty. It has gotten a lot of usage this year because we run a techno ch...

I have a hard time even imagining going to BRC right after getting off an international flight... I need to think about this next time I stress because I want to take some extra shit but my trailer already has 2000lbs of gear on it.

[quote="unjonharley"]THe only carry on I take is a Ccap machine and camera. Let the luggage guys hual the rest of the stuff. AFter all it is lugg age. You would be supprised how much you don't need while in the air.[/quote]Do you run off 12v? I started CPAP about 2 weeks ago, and it has made a HUGE ...

[quote="AntiM"]Chain yourselves together for the reception.[/quote] That would be fun, I'll make sure to bring some rope so we can continue tying if we get the urge to do more after the hand fasting. Here's a photo of my 24th birthday, me all tied up very comfy by Phoenix!!! http://hektik.org/phoeni...

I'm taking nearly 3 weeks off. I work at a small software company, which will put some projects on hold while I'm gone. I haven't told them I'm getting married while I'm gone.

We will be posting directions to our wedding (and afterparty) at the tower of triumphant struggle, my friend's art installation. There is a chance we will decide to be married at the tower, but directions will be there either way. We will be tying the knot (literally, it is a handfasting) on Friday ...

The Church of Elemental Awareness Invites you to Celebrate the SUN!

The Church of Elemental Awareness is going camping this weekend. If you enjoy electronic dance music, the desert, unique art, and are anywhere near NW Utah, you should consider coming. We have announced this on the Element11 email list previously, so hopefully those who are close got this informatio...

[quote="veleda"]our camp is doing a temple for embodied rituals called the Temple of All Gods. It is a designed as a sacred space for people from different religions. And it would be a great place to do weddings. We would be happy to offer the space to you for your work. It is a highly ambient 32 ft...

[quote="capjbadger"] Actually, the blocking diode only stops the panel from draining the battery at night. It will NOT keep the panel from overcharging your batteries. You need a charge regulator for that.[/quote] Good to know!!! I think many of the solar charge regulators I was looking at awhile ag...

[quote="Ron"]As, so. Well if it doesn't have to be potable I may have an option for you. We contract with a water truck to deliver our 1,000 or so gallons we need each year to keep our grass alive, and share said delivery with other folk who need water. It costs cash as we've got to pay the vendor b...

[quote="diane o'thirst"] Okay, I just bought a horse trailer with a 110-volt system installed. It's come with two deep cycle batteries to power the system and an inverter. The seller told me he's taken the trailer into the woods and the battery array powers the lights and water pump in the tack room...

Have you tried CCFLs in poly carbonate tube? The ones I ordered come inside polycarb tubes so you can mount them on your car.

I want to pick up some EL wire, but I don't think it's going to be this year.

I wish my power load was smaller, or else solar would be a great option... ($600 worth/130watt of solar panels would have to charge batteries 3 or 4 hours to run my cooler for 1hr!) I will find out how much 12v wattage it would save me to switch my swamp cooler to a DC fan, that might fit much bette...

I was trying to avoid buying a eu2000i for $$$ reasons... But that is making less sense as I understand the alternative better. $100 good inverter $100 large 50a charger $60 battery cables $20 power box/mounting supplies $300 batteries plus a recharge source... $300 68db 3500w gen. This method costs...

[quote="adept"]Complicating matters a bit further, my fiance is a heat casualty. [/quote]One last comment...

Sorry to bump this really old thread, but I need some advice from people who know what they're doing (or pretend to know!!! :) ). I'm getting married this year in BRC, and it's my first burningman. Complicating matters a bit further, my fiance is a heat casualty. They really do wander off to die whe...

[quote="Mister Jellyfish Mister"]Damn, that's gonna be one pretty wedding. Those colors will look great with ccfl's. I'm using the same batteries on Mantis and with two of the 7.5 Ah she should be up and glowing for a few hours at a time. Cheers![/quote]That's really good to hear... Now I need to fi...

I just ordered some 12v CCFLs (4 inverters running two 12" CCFLs each, in UV,green,purple and blue) from vibelight.com. I'm hoping to run these off various 12v sealed lead acid batteries I found recently at NPS in Utah, an industrial salvage type place, for $.70/lb. So that's around $4 for my 7ah 12...
