Jkisha, can you post a link to the stakes you use? I wouldn't mind using something other than rebar to tie my yurt down with. I have used these crazy big 16" safety orange stakes and they have worked well. http://tinyurl.com/34ghcuo Link is to Homedepot I like using them because of the flourescent ...

One more question, in order to anchor the yurt, as I recall you run tape clear across each of the roof axis, draw it out and wrap it around a tube (pvc), then loop rope through the tube and down to your stakes (rebar). Are there any new/better ways to anchor a yurt, or is this still the preferred m...

I know it has been a number of years since there has been major rain or lightning durning Burning man but it is certainly a possibility. I wonder if all those aluminum covered hexayurts will attract lightning durning a storm? Should we be installing lightning rods? I really don't want to be fried in...

Just tell everyone you are going on a spiritual retreat in the dessert. I have never worried about what people think about my choice to go to burningman. I do know someone who's boss would be less than happy granting time off to go to burningman and she does tell work that she is going on a religiou...

I like Tasty Bites Thai and Indian food in a pouch. (Yes they really are tasty) We often times eat it without heating it up with some pita. So you can take it with you and add a piece of pita for a meal on the go. But also good heated and over rice. www.tastybite.com You can go to their website and ...

If you camp at the springs watch out for the wild ass who likes to bray next to your tent in the middle of the night, and you thought that only happened at the burn. Oh yes. I forgot about the wild ass. I received a heads up before camping there but nothing can prepare you (even Burning man) for th...

There is the burningtruck which is a cooperative effort new englanders use to get their stuff to Black Rock City. http://burningtruck.chaoshacker.org/ If you check out the Meet and Greet you will meet people who camp alone, small groups and big magnificent theme camps. One being AutoSub. http://www....

WOW I want one of these solar powered port-a-poties

Oh thank you Karlene for resurrecting this thread.

I have read every post and I now, finally, feel right at home...normal and sane.

There are actually hundreds.....thousands of other people who share my same affliction/condition.

I suggest looking at the tag that has the Recommended Laundering Instructions. Just my 2 cents...... That's a good idea, except the problem is more with the electronics than the fabric. I would bet that the shirt was manufactured and labled by one company than purchased by the company (or individua...

Authorities say the 2009 installment of the annual Burning Man festival drew a smaller crowd to the Northern Nevada desert than in 2008. U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials said that as of noon Saturday, 41,059 people were at the festival. Officials said the crowd peaked at 43,435 at noon Frida...

16 to 17 hours from Denver to Fernley. It just depends on how often you stop for gas or food and for how long. Enjoy the pilgrimage.

80 is the quickest but 50-70 is more scenic. Never tried Jungo Rd. We always take 80 to Burning man and 50-70 home. There are some nice hot springs to stop at near Austin, NV (search web for info). Don't assume you can ask the locals for help. One year I was fairly certain how to get there but stopp...

There is a guy on the Boston email list serve that does a survey each year and produces a wonderfully helpful graph of Exodus wait times................

I can concur with gyre that wednesday after the burn at 12 noon there is no wait time.......

Come by camp Automatic Subconscious and you can use our kitchen sink. Really, we have one! It works! Full plumbing.

just found this site for the tape http://www.goodbuyguys.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/742 at $25.99 per roll of 6" without having to order a case of it is even cheaper than the findtape website case price. It's not a huge savings, but with how crazy expensive the tape is every little bi...

It is good to plan ahead but perhaps it is a little early for the rideshare board. I usually offer rides from Denver and don't check the rideshare board or put an ad on craigslist till early August. Hang in there and someone will respond or you will see a posting that works out for you. There is als...

I have traveled from Denver to Burningman with my elongated hexayurt strapped to the top of my Xterra the last three years. Sometimes wrapped in a tarp and sometimes not and it traveled fine either way. Secure it tightly and do a test run on the highway before you leave to understand how and where y...

Just starting a topic to ask what happened to theme camps that were registered but didn't seem to materialize.

For example:

What happened to Vertical Camp?

Thanks.

Any info yet on Compost Camp?

I am bringing a Carport with the roof vents on top, out to the Playa this year and was wondering about how those roof vents will stand up to the high wind. What have been others experience in the past? I have seen some where they do not insert the support poles allowing the canvas above to flap arou...

I used 1" thick thermax. The best person to ask about what to use is Vinay Gupta at http://www.hexayurt.com

It is his design I used for my hexayurt. Very comfortable and almost dust proof.

Many new Burners seem to think a shower behind the water truck is some kind of initiation their first year. Luckily I am not much of a joiner. For me, a camp shower maybe Thursday and handy wipes once a day before bed. The air is so dry I never feel sweaty and because of the dust we will always feel...

There was a group from San Francisco that accepted compost from some of the larger villages and theme camps last year. Does anyone know if they are returning in 2008 and if so who to contact?

Thanks

Thanks mdmf007 for the info. It may be an interesting & different route to take on the way home. Oh yeah, where is that secret East entrance/exit? Josh and Cody I do not believe there is any way to shorten the time of your departure during exodus unless you leave Saturday before the man burns or Tue...
