I hang hammocks from a square tubing shade structure but it is where 2 independent structures meet and so there are twice the legs and horizontals there making a sturdy spine. I'd never hang a hammock from a 1" conduit shade framework.

What equipment are you running, for what purpose and for how long that you will burn through 5k gallons of fuel?

Air travel is the only mode of transportation that helps dramatically relieve congestion on the highway. It's not going anywhere. (note that this is not directed at you, but a general rant) When you subsidize something you get more of it. In this case, more people attending the event with the expec...

Wooooot!!!! It was fun to drive the Cleanest Art Car!!! Hope the trailer fix worked out well.

I was unplaced and unofficial for years. I feel ya. I'm a bit biased, burnt and skeptical myself too. Been know to be jaded too. ...Welding Springs is a feat! Spring steel shouldn't like that. Nice work. Would I rather that I could go back to a responsible land grab sized for my camp and have all my...

Y'all are awesome! Reliance vs. Experience - that's gold right there. Sadly, the reliance part is what tickles me funny, and its not the providers, its the motives of the patrons. It may very well be one of those 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'' aspects of having such a broad and large popu...

First I did what you are proposing with cord.... Very time consuming. Then I did zip ties.... Very wasteful. Now I use bungee balls and it's fast and reusable and people fling them at each other for fun.

I've done cut and weld on mild steel and it worked well. Go for it! At worst you will gain experience. At best rousing success!!!

If you are a real HLF you will be in demand on Playa. First of all I believe you should follow your own vision of bringing your gift to light. I believe a mobile operation could work and I have considered one for my camp. Trouble is I don't think I could get an org issued driving pass for a mobile u...

Been checking google maps weekly and still not updated.

It's pretty common for the ORG to not say much at all before they release info or change the website information but when they do there is often a JRS email shortly after and many times a Journal publication too. Keep your ear to the ground around here and you will hear about it when the new ticket ...

Additionally lower RPM and larger actual muffler.

Thank you Lucky.

I’m very sorry for your loss motsky

I met Plowman here on ePlaya when Fat Sam, Plowman, Red, Somnivore, Greg, myself and others started Stag Camp in 2007 with only 2 of us ever having met face to face before hitting the Playa. I just can't describe what a great guy he was to Burn with. Damn. I already miss the shit out of you brother....

I think ready to go and tested install materials/setup and then installing as soon as you get to playa is the way to go. Typical window AC units put quite a bit of torque on the window frame and driving with that torque present while going over bumps could end badly. I really like Yiggy's cut out me...

As others have said Burning Man is a Do-ocracy. I think a realistic place to start is you doing or making provisions for 80% of the beginning phases of the project. Once you prove it can work then think about on boarding funding and build help. There are some great collective things at Burning Man b...

The survey took me forever but as along term camp mayor I had much to say. It was nice to see some very well thought out questions. It will be interesting to see what the future holds and what kind of action is spurred from the information. On the surface it seems pretty ridiculous that somewhere no...

Can you give us some pictures/drawings and materials so we check them out? There are some pretty experienced trouble shooters here.

I'd say 5 out of the last 10 years I have arrived greeters hasn't been operational and I miss it! I end up asking incoming camp members who hit greeters to pick up extra copies of the book and map. If I wanted a bypass lane I would just go to the far left and move a cone, go through and then put it ...

I think fence top rail comes in about 13' lengths and has a handy formed end that fits inside the main interior diameter. This means you can cut the piece in two and have 2 roughly 6' pieces to transport and then they fit back together for a full length piece. It's in the cyclone fencing area of you...

Did they pull it out yet? that's what she said

Looks like rain on the playa this Thursday, otherwise known as welding an aircraft to a desert.

I've seen one post of FB that the plane is on private property.

As far as updates go-- I saw a photo on FB that shows active laying out of what looks like doubled 1 or 1.25" plywood mats that are offset and shifted so that they overlap together like shiplap siding. Although the picture was not high enough resolution to tell it looked like there may be up to 4 se...

I'm taking that since there is no new news and no pictures or video coming out in recent days means there is bad news. I don't know if the BLM wont allow real heavy equipment on the Playa outside of the burn but.... It seems to me a large but not ludicrous large crawler with a drawbar and winch, 2 T...

Definitely email Placement telling them what your plans are and ask to be put back on the placement email list. It might be appropriate to tell them who the primary leader is and who the backup leader is if the primary is not available.

... I know right where it is and want to visit it in the late spring to see how shot up it gets... I take it the 'owners' aren't familiar with rural. At least there's bound to be some that hit low and let the water drain out that gets in from the higher holes. Wonder if it already has some drain ho...

Cool!

Thanks for the update!

Time to bring in a semi load of wood crane mats, 3 excavators with thumbs and an offroad forklift.

Road trip and soak at Trego?

Anyone?

If only I lived closer!
I know right where it is and want to visit it in the late spring to see how shot up it gets. It's going to be visible from a frequently used road. Hopefully Frog Pond and Trego have a cleaner bill of health when I make the trip.

I read that story too. I was wondering if any one had witnessed activity on the Playa that indicates they are moving it?

Anybody know if they are on site moving the 747 to private property today?
