sentimental value to wife.

Um, I think we found it. picture of a few guys having lunch? lovely Lady in front of mirror... it was right in the center of a big tire track. I have my doubts the zoom is ever going to work again, and the battery may not come out, but I think the memory (8 G Lexor) is all intact. it opened up on he...

Cripto, please read the rest?

Our average camp size is about 35, and we have 3 tickets from the lotto and 2 from a friend? Hoping for the rest of the group. The thought that first timers will replace established theme camps is bluntly crazy. They could volunteer at the camps but a large camp has a group that works together well ...

I moved my old 48 Chevy truck into my back yard with the engines hand crank , but it was moving at about a half mile per hour ... and I lifted my house even slower.. horse power is work (mass x distance) over time so you can move a pound real quick or a ton very slowly and still do the same work , h...

for used cards you might try a stain sealing primer like "Kilz" or "zinzer" which is not water based and should seal in ink without causing the cards to warp and cost less than stickers if not used too thickly and still leave a good writing surface. use gloves , a semi dry small roller and an old fo...

I Like the whole Idea,,, But , do you really need people to have a camp ? Could you build a camp that was purly a fancy front with animatrons waving the boys in from the street leading them to the parlor and the one way door to the back, which is purly maze with the sounds beconing them on leading t...

If the lights are what I think they should work fine, use few batteries and not become disfucntional unless you fatigue the wires by bending them repeatedly, or loose the battery cover. ( tape it on ) and if a wire does break somewhere, besides where it enters the plastic, you can re-solder it. and ...

My camp mate had found blinking red leds on the web a couple years ago for cheap .. and we haven't found them since ,.. anyone else know where to cet cheap indvidual solder together blingers ?

being a 40-something from west of denver I was drawen to the post ... first , BRC is not on the beach , it's fine dust , not sand , so be sure to bri9ng a box of good (2 strap fine particulate grade) dust masks , the first year there (2001) I slept in a dust mask as the dust blew in through the wall...

All I know on this is they we experimenting with them as a way to twist the wings off aircraft during WW2 .. ( freedom of information act ?) .. so you might avoid setting up near BRG Airport ... but good luck with it anyway ...

we lit our large 30 x26' tent with 2 12v 12in floresent lights from home despot run off my autobattery with 3 or 3 charges during the week using a solar panel. my brother lit the house he was in ( while it was rewired over 6 months) with the same system but with more lights and recarging the battery...

I found a place with solar freezers ,,, as in, a super insulated box with a high efficiency compressor run off a solar panel (or 2) with battery, set up cost about $1500, which I haven't budgeted at the moment, but is it that much more than a $200 freezer, a generator and gas? .. ok maybe a little. ...

$5 per peak watt the man said,
I was hoping you all would know where to find a panel at that cost ratio or better ...
We need to figure out how to replace a generator for a freezer and one for night lights ,, ..
no more than a few mega watts worth of power

true , with the tiedown ropes inside the tent space and woven within the framework the main trip problem was the trailer tounge, and that had more to do with shins. also we did have the allys to the sides that were lit with the solar yard lights, all of which solved tripping problems. I was thinking...

why is it nobody likes my idea of moats of burning fuel oil ...
just keep the tanker truck to the rear of camp ...

there are 3 ways to deal with sound. 1) Deflect it This helps the sound go somewhere else but not actually go away 2) Absorb it This works easily for high frequency sounds that have little wave energy but not so easily for low frequency sound which can have a large amount of energy that can travel l...

Was just thinking ,
If you had a 10' tarp on each side and a 10' net ceiling,
the tarp would keep out most low ground dust and the net would vent the heat out.
just a thought,

seeing my campmate pols 2 cents worth I just had to make it an even nickle .... It's been a while since I helped setup or slept in a Teepee but as I remember .... Due to their shape the wind pushes down from all sides it comes from and the rope used to bind the poles was brought down the center and ...

I said this else where , but applies here Too. I prefer the conduit which will bend rather than break, (take extra connectors), and it can be bent back streight if needed. Our 2002 shade was a 20 x 30 tarp held over 3 (use 4or5) bowed conduit ribs each made with 3 10' sticks of conduit held with sta...

It will tell you how to build the tents. Our camp mate Zappy found the white tarps, which are key for the shade factor, I...

Our 2002 shade was a 20 x 30 tarp held over 3 (use 4or5) bowed conduit ribs each made with 3 10' sticks of conduit held with standard connectors with cross bars lashed with bailing wire to them at each connector and center of each span making a quansit hut frame for the tarp to be held over and lash...

target seems cheaper out west .. ours seems to price them at $10.00 each. Since we have a peddle powered sculpture we used a smaller 12 volt sealed electric bike battery to light it with LEDs on our travels. This is charged with a solar panel during the day at home. Since our camp mate wanted his bi...

spices like that can cover the delicate flavor of the meat ... not to mention abrade the skin

Yes! In the spirit of Burningman a moat of burning fuel oil should slow them down a bit!!

will call means you will call for it when you get there. IE; they'll hold it for you at the gate ( or near it) you will need a copy of your receit printed from your pc and a picture ID to get it, read about will call on the ticket page burningman.com ... I like getting the ticket before hand to hold...

not to promote a spicific web site, it's a dot com site on "TARPS" and the page was white.htm for the white poly tarps $60 for the 20' x 30' . we used the "Heavy Duty 6 oz. White Canopy Grade Poly Tarps 6 oz. (11-12 mil) UV treated ****Rust-Free Grommets every 18 inches ****Reinforced Corners" other...

One trick we came up with that helps with the dust and should help with the water is that we use a 2x2 that is staked down through holes in it with rebar stakes which has the tarp screwed to it, which should help dam the water from entering through the sides and rear of the tent. We haven't used the...

we did weld and bend parts for this tent. The Tent was made for the desert sun and we wondered about what if it rained . I plan on trimming the conduit poles again to fit the tarp better , but for weather tight I would add a ridge piece and lap the corners also , as well as using a heavier framework...

we had success with a pair of structures we built this year ( 2003) one being a 20 x 16 peaked shelter we used for a sitting room and one that was 30 x 26 used to shade our private tents and the kitchen, which had a warpable vented ridge which could be set to catch the breeze. http://www.tda3.com/p...
