Saturday near dusk we lost a pair of purple flip flops, kids sized, on 3:00 between D and Esplanade. They worked their way out of my pocket and by the time we noticed and backtracked we couldn't find them on the ground. Not the most important thing to get back, but my kid would be happy. If you have...

Lag bolts are pretty easy to pull straight out of the playa, I do that by hand with dinky little pliers. They're much more resistant to shear forces than tensile. That's why people add a couple of chain links to their lag bolts to offset to transfer the pulling force to a shear force. The pillar cou...

So, looks like I'm going to the burn. Wife's been getting exited at the thought of not being able to sell her own tickets and made arrangements for family to take care of things at home. But that leaves me with a weird arrangement of tickets. Generated a new Lyte link at $950 for the full package - ...

Lowering price to $1100 for the package and sharing a Lyte link. Set price using 'recently sold' listings on ebay. Taking a loss already so open to offers, etc, just hit me up.

Thanks!

Kids and animals came up so I'm selling our 2 tickets and 1 vehicle pass. These are will call main sale tickets and can be purchased directly through Lyte link for $1385. Lyte adds fees but I don't know what they are. My cost was $1592.88. Open to returning the VP and just selling 2 tickets via Lyte...

Dang! I've been thinking about you, R1zero4 being stranded in Vegas. Saw your post on Spark too. It makes me happier than it should to see you and Kkat_86 work that out.

The low income site says 1) you will get a reply one way or the other, and 2) it can take up to 12 weeks to receive a response.

In my experience yes, it's not hard to find one and there's not much competition to buy them. But you have to be looking. I'd recommend getting familiar with placed people offer them, be engaged and ready to respond when they get posted. Post requests or mention to friends you're looking for one. Th...

any advice?

Bring chocolate!

I've made moccasins before but haven't worn them on the playa. I think they'd stand up well to the surface but don't provide any cushion, and probably don't hold an insert very well. I'd be concerned they'd transfer too much heat from the playa to your foot, that you'd sweat too much anyway, and the...

[quote="Popeye"]The OD of 1" PVC is 1.315"
The OD of 1" EMT is 1.163"
They won't fit in the same connector. EMT is pretty cheap anyway.[/quote]

That's a pretty clear answer. Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't considered that the outer diameter varied between them.

It's a no-go on using PVC.

Below is a quick sketch, with blue being EMT and red PVC. I didn't think about the PVC vibrating out of the fittings, that's a good thing to know. My thinking in doing this is that maybe some of the lateral segments might only need to be a semi-rigid spacer while the more solid EMT frame absorbed th...

Considering the difference in cost between EMT and PVC I'm considering mixing the two together to build a shade structure, and wonder if anyone has attempted this (and lived.) Some combinations I'm considering: 1) 1" EMT for verticals and 1" PVC for horizontals, 10'x10'x30' flat top tarp structure. ...

This is a late reply, but for the benefit of anyone else looking, yes you can leave a physical ticket for another person at will call. At least this has been true in years past. When you leave the ticket make sure you correctly spell the name of the person picking it up. A camp member of mine was on...

Thanks everyone I got it sorted. )*(

Hello, my car broke down barely out of Reno, now I need to get to Fernley to borrow a truck. I would really appreciate it if anyone leaving Reno now or soon could pick me up and drop me off in Fernley. I'm at 702-803-0132. Thanks!

A necklace with three years worth of temple ashes inside of it. I felt amazing receiving it. I gifted it two years later to a woman who showed me a sunrise by climbing something (can't remember what) at a sound camp. She let me sleep in an air conditioned yurt afterwards and a full night's sleep fel...

If anyone is looking for authentic Central Asian clothing, there's a store in Virginia City called Kashmiri American Enterprises that sells traditional clothing imported from Kashmir. Really nomadic looking stuff. It's worth checking out weather you live in the area or are just passing through Reno ...

Since so many people are chiming in about having plenty of clean socks, I want to go a little further and recommend getting high quality socks. A good pair or light or medium weight smart wool or hybrid material hiking socks from REI or someplace are the best foot ware investment you can make. They ...

I just sent off a request to join your facebook group. I'm interested in feeling out how we might fit in to your group, but I get a good vibe.

Queensryche wrote a song called Burning Man, ABOUT Burning Man. It's on their q2k album.

Generally a hexayurt has enough space for a few persons to lay down, some storage and a peaked roof allowing a person space to stand up. I know they work mostly by reflecting most sunlight, insulating the air inside and keeping the ground underneath cool enough for it to provide some additional cool...

I looked for a more specific thread for this but came up short. I'm a guy but I just found this and thought it was a perfect replacement for a pee funnel on playa, a little plastic device that let's you flat out pee standing up. You could use the urinal in a porta. http://www.sheweeusa.com/shop/

Who else is bringing out big sound or activities to these sides of the horseshoe?

I came across this late but wanted to leave one suggestion here that was otherwise absent. If you can't get your mind off of what's happening with her camping with other people, you can always stay home yourself. Think about how you'd feel either way, but from experience being in the middle of a rom...

I don't like the precedence it sets that some groups are more equal than others. You mean like early entry passes, which are given to hand-picked groups every single year? Giving some groups precedence because they contribute more to Burning Man than others is nothing new. At first I thought, this ...

However, I have seen some people on the boards, obviously getting tickets through camps, who seem to be taking the anger at what BMORG has done personally and feel inclined to defend BMORG and their camp. Just want to point out it's ok to defend yourself for taking an offered ticket or being a bene...

I don't think anyone is to blame for ever taking a ticket offered to them. There should never be any guilt, we all understand and would do the same. The BMORG still seems to be at fault for giving in to pressure and changing courses mid stream in a way that's less fair to the overall community. I do...

There, I fixed it for you.

That is actually much better Wanted to use someone other than Larry.

I propose a simpler solution: First come first served open sale, no tiers. Christmas pre-sales and low income possible additions to this. This is fair. An alternative: You get a percentage not to exceed 2% M-f and 1% Sat-Sun, void on public holidays and select blackout date of undisclosed determinat...
