[quote="Shambala"]Wow, that is so vague. What kind of stuff are you intending to put on your car? What kind of car are you driving? Depending on the weight of your load, you can get a lighter duty roof rack at Sears or Walmart. There are heavier versions made for commercial use and you could probabl...

Any advice about what cheap Roof Rack would make the trip from Los Angeles to Burning Man without falling off?

Hey folks, I'm doing it again this year for he second time, I hope that my colostimy bag doesn't break this time!

MY sincere apologees dear DPW workers and friends alike. I built citiies in Vietnam for the dumb fuck Vietnamese and I was humbled by the experience. I never boosted about what I did for them, but I felt that I made their lives a little better. This was my first time at Burning Man and I didn't real...

This is just an observation. Late afternoon, Saturday, September 1, 2007, I watched as the DPW had their little parade driving past the participants on the Avenue where I camped. I was really taken back by DPW’s behavior. One DPW volunteer on the bullhorn commanded that everyone get out of their s...

I was just tossing the idea around.When I was in the Army,bunkers made out of sand bags and steel drums made for some pretty sound shelter but in the long run I'm sure it would be a pain.

can you use the dirt from the playa to fill sand bags?

I know that at 12:01 AM Aug.27 th. The main gate will open and people will start poring in to Burning Man.How early can you line up?

I live in Pasadena California. Anyone know of a place I could have this device checked out. I'm sure Phils right about a bad connection.

I'll try and post a picture latter. What I ment to say was that I've seen a lot of El-Wire or flouresent light tubing on the Playa at night,so I sent away for a sample unit which consists of nine strands of different colored tubing conected to a single wire that goes into a battery powered unit that...

After a lot of trouble with UPS I finally got my little El-Wire sample. I popped two new AA's into it and all that lit up was the little red indicater light. I've wiggeled everthing to see if there's a loose connection but still no show. Anyone out there familiar with how to test these things?I don'...

I noticed that some people use umbrellas as small shade refuge.I've got one of those patio umbrellas that has the cement stand that it slips into.Would something like that be worth bringing? As you can see this is all new to me and I'm trying to be really prepared for this!

How far back away from the streets are you allowed to camp?

What do you look for in a good camp site or is it everyone for themselves,a mad dash for the best site?

Any good ideas for hosting up some Flags or Banners...ones that won't break in the wind.

Sorry dr.pyro for being soooo stupid!Just trying to cover all basis!

Are spilled drinking water or melted water from your ice chest considered grey water?

It's been along time since I've used film,but the last time I shot nudity,they developed them and placed them on top of the developed pictures.

What kind did you get?

Doe's anyone know anything about those new hard-drive camcorders?

Any good advice on protecting your camera from the Playa dust?

Sorry bout opening a can of worms over this pissing on the playa issue,but being a past heavy beer drinker I'm familiar with the piss on everything attitude that comes when your loaded,You just don't think about where you do it,you just do it. Maybe ,like some cultures do,we should drink are own pee...

Just got to thinking...with all them beer drinking party animules out there...I bet there's a bunch of people that sneek out at night and piss all over that Playa! Who packs that out?

Thanks,I'll have to check that site out.

Just wanted to say thanks to all you good people out there for all your help.Afriend in need is a friend indeed!

Are the Porta-Potties adequate enough or should I bring one of those little " my little dump cans?"

Resperaters,Dust Masks,Scarfs........what works best when the dust blows?

Do most of you folks prepare this early or am I over doing it?

can anyone share their experiences with the dehydrated meals you can buy at your local camping store. Are they any good?

If you have no recoarse, there's a place in Whittier California that sell all that's needed!
