Without getting into the whole "Don't stop on the TWO LANE ROAD with 20,000 cars going back to Reno at the same time" debate, or "there is no place safe to stop on 447" debate once again. Well, and the part about self reliance thing...
Go Fuck yourself Bob

Burners aren't that much of a market, apparently, except for pot-growing equipment.

...and the other thing I can't remember.

I always get really embarrassed about having anything to do with the event on that ride back. Year after year it is the same, empty water jugs, bags of trash littering the side of the road for 100 miles. The “PACK IT OUTâ€

This stunt has opened the door for other large companies, with much larger advertising budgets than Advanced has, to follow their lead. Not really. This, like most everything else isn't the first time. I think it was 2001 when the sky writer plane spelled sex.com in the sky.I think they were trying...

it was selfish to all the burners who rolled in tues., wed, and thur morning to no man Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think I remember a lot of years where the man wasn't up till the later part of the week. I don't know...the putting folks in danger part is really the only issue I can see as...

there was garbage all over the place, some still in bags, some blowing around the side of the road. There were water bottles, pillows, tarps...all kinds of things that weren't secured properly- all the way to 80 and beyond. No better or worse than last year. Still bad. That really sucks. The folks ...

A bit of thread drift... Had to stay home this year. I am wondering how the trash on the road situation was this year? In years past, the trash on 447 has really bummed me out. It really looks bad for the event. Plus, what is the point of LNT to just to spread a 100 mile trail of garbage from BRC to...

I have found that getting away from the inverter is the best thing one can do. Inverters are far more inefficient than you can really imagine. Most things that run on AC actually convert the AC to DC anyway. So in effect you are starting with DC converting to AC only to convert back to DC. That’s re...

If you are looking into getting helium delivered call Norco gas supply in Winnemucca (775) 623-2200. We had 10 tanks delivered for $9 to our camp in 2001. They came out a few days later to pick up the empty tanks. It has been a few years but see if Jay is still there. He made both trips and is a pre...

I would not recommend taking Jungo to the average traveller. I am not saying don't take it, but I am also not recommending it.

Ah Nevada…the gambling state.

Sounds pretty cool. You have a fair amount of time still to figure out the logistics. have to construct in such a way that it can be transported from the uk and assembled in situ on the playa That shouldn't be too much of a problem. Our project broke down to take up a very small space and that was 5...

For daytime illumination you may want to experiment with a fusion source; Make sure to keep it at a safe distance- Say, 93,000,000 miles or so.

Oh man, that was good.

When it was tied up on the ground, we used pretty heavy duty rebar pounded in the ground about 3.5'-4' at an angle. When it was out it was attached to a cart with a 75 lb deep cycle battery plus three people holding on to teathers at different points. The main teather was a 70' climbing rope with a ...

The company was Norco, 740 Fairgrounds Road Winnemucca, NV 89445. (775) 623-2200. Talk to Jay. He is super cool. In fact, if you do have them come out let me know we would like to see him again. I'm sure the prices have changed since, but we paid $73/tank. Each tank holds 219 cubic feet of helium. L...

In 2001 some friends and myself did this project. We ordered 10 tanks of helium and had it delivered right to us at camp. On saturday they came back out and picked up the empty tanks. I think it held around 1500 cubic feet of helium. There were a bunch of lights, noise making devices, and a really n...

Bring the gift of your innocence
Bring yourself to the Post Office
Bring good news from Canada
Bring your leadership
Bring your brilliance
Bring yourself (get there safely in one piece)

Bring enough room so that I can go back to Canada with you

I'm a amateur radio operator and I'm wondering if there are going to be any other operators out there this year. Anyone setting up a repeater? I'll be bringing out my HT.

Let me apologize for what I am about to do.

What if instead of building like structure it was just a long facade of a building. Like on a film set. Have the line in front wrap around so one couldn't see it was only a wall. Looking at the situation from the side one could not help but double over in laughter.

Indeed, not to mention everyone elses time in the camp.

They had ALL the booze.

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

>>What makes me giggle and also a bit scared is when people invoke the famous 'not in the spirit of burning man' line in response to the situation.

...Indeed

Almost there...

Man I am so Psyched. I was just thinking on the drive out there last year that there is way too much nothing out there. What this place really needs is a super fucking huge power plant, or maybe a giant strip mall. The best part will be that no one will have to worry about that lame leave no trace s...

My first year I was given perhaps the best advice on how to approach this problem. Unfortunately, it wasn't until the following few years that I really understood what it was all about. Oddly enough it was from someone who I have had many personal conflicts with. I still have to kick myself for not ...

I have been putting up a wind generator for a number of years. The tower is 15' tall and made out of gas pipe. The gas pipe is it is a bit heavy and you might find something lighter, Though the handy issue with gaspipe is that it is threaded at each end so you can add 8' sections as needed. I don't ...

Well, I figure you are asking about non-petrol based generators. I have been taking out a wind system the last few years. I have about 420 Amp hours worth of batteries and a 400 watt wind generator. It usually provides me with just barely enough energy for the week (i.e. simple dc lights for around ...
