It's called the Bench Water Caddy. It's made of food-safe plastic and includes a 25-gallon water tank, bracketing a central storage compartment (20" long x 11.5" wide x 4" deep) and topped by a padded, sturdy lid which can be used as both step and bench. The lid comes in three colours, grey, hunter...

i want to make a painting that uses colored condiments...red ketchup, mustard (combine to make orange), green & blue & purple ketchup (yes, they make green & purple, as well)...put varnish over the whole thing to avoid spoilage...too bad i have no artistic talent at all

Hey, if you do get a solar oven going and roast up some fine playa grubbenstines you can always find me at Johnny & the Playa Cruizers bicycle repair convieniently located at 9:00 & Esplanade. I pour some mean margaritas and host playa tours aboard my artboat... It's a fact; food will get you lots ...

All other variables being equal, it's often easier to mechanically balance a large object than a diminutive one.

is that why i have equilibrium problems?

what i meant by "working well" was this: there is a lot of sun beating down on the playa, hence an abundance of fuel for a solar oven. there's only so much grilled/stove-cooked food i can stand in a week at home, so i figured if i brought a solar oven i could whip up one of the casseroles for which ...

does anyone have any experience using a solar oven on the playa? it seems as thought it would work pretty well (being in the middle of the desert & all), and the components (cardboard boxes & aluminum foil) could be burned/recycled after they're done being used.

it won't stay sealed. as dry ice sublimates, the volume increases by about a factor of 800 or so. to put that in perspective, a 5 lb block that's a little under a half a square foot and one inch thick will expand to the size of a decent suv. when it does that, any container it's in will either have...

they think connecting with a bunch of free-spirited, self-reliant, creative, friendly people is just gonna get me into trouble With any luck, they're right.

everyone says ziploc (r) bags, but what about tupperware (r) or rubbermaid (r) containers? they're nearly air-& water-tight, able to withstand high temperatures, reusable, won't split at the seams or leak, and you know when they're closed, as opposed to plastic bags which can sometimes be deceiving....

i used to do a lot of black & white darkroom work, and silly me didn't wear gloves & got stop bath (read: HIGHLY acidic) on my hands all day every day. this caused cracking, dryness, redness, etc. the cure: smear vaseline (or neosporin or thick lotion) on them - like a THICK layer - before going to ...

does anyone have any experience with evaporative refrigerators? from what i understand, it's 2 earthenware pots, one that fits inside the other, and the space between them is filled with wet sand. they're used by humanitarian groups in desert places with no electricity (i.e. africa) and a friend who...

you hang it up and shower.

what does it hang from?

solar showers have been mentioned in this thread a few times, but i'm baffled...how, exactly, does one shower on the playa? what does a solar shower look like? how does it work? what do you do with the grey water (i've seen a set-up for a water-evaporation system, but it looked quite complicated & n...
