Re: Organic Toilet Vendor Legit and OSS Approved?
FWIW. Searched ePlaya to see if I could find info on Portos since we had issues this year with ours and found this post. I believe they were a verified OSS vendor since I heard there was a public bank of them outside out 10:00 and our well known neighbors had a 2 Porto unit and was I able to experie...

Re: 2017 One Item A Day For BM List......
Cheap GPS tracking device for bike so I can catch the fuckers who rip off bikes. I am convinced that mine was taken by professionals and not for a joy ride. Left unlocked for less than three minutes in high traffic corner of 10 and esplanade. If it was taken as a joyride, it should have been returne...

Re: Tarps vs. Shade cloth for flat roof structure
I lost track in your description, but it sounded like your walls are all shade cloth, so I don't see any wind pressure issues. You are going overkill with the extra lags in the feet. A lag in a foot only serves to keep the leg from walking in the wind, which is a useful function, but if the air pre...

Re: Tarps vs. Shade cloth for flat roof structure
Reading through the thread has now got me second guessing. This will be the first year that I am building a 20x20 1" emt flat roof canopy using a 20 x 20 heavy duty tarp. I am planning on using foot pads with 14" lag screws (pondering between 1 or 2 per foot pad) and then guying down (pondering stra...

Re: DJ Art Cars And Their Effect On Art
Our art car weaponized music on the playa by playing 80s soft rock. Nothing like some Air Supply or a track of Dreamweaver to clear out an area. Now this is an excellent idea. Some Wilson Phillips "Hold On" played in a loop never hurt anybody. How about the classic Lionel Richie "All Night Long" lo...

Re: Bad Behaviour on the Playa
One problem is that the percentage of Burgins has been alarmingly high. Not that I am against growth, but it takes veterans to set the example, and when 40+% of the people are new, they see "non-burny" behavior and assume it's normal and OK. By contrast, when 90% of the people are "with the program...

Re: Bad Behaviour on the Playa
Horrible neighbors this year. They would play shitty bass music at all hours of the night and day. It would rattle the inside of our RVs, which were parked adjacent to their camp. Of course, we never saw anyone chilling or dancing at their camp, it seemed like mostly personal entertainment for the ...

Re: cooling your tent or van
I thought you had the 190CFM. :? You will be much happier if you get one. You want total air exchange every 1 to 3 minutes for best results. 8) Looking up the fan specs, I think it actually might be 220 cfm! Although still thinking about the unicooler design, now moved to passenger seat window. We ...
