Totally Agree with you!

here is the website for the Monkey Hut, http://www.chromatest.net/Lovemonkey/ it is actually VERY EASY! probably one of the easiest on the playa because there isn't much to it and it's very simple. Don't follow the instructions for the tape etc, simply use PVC glue to glue the center rib together. m...

The wind is going to be VERY STRONG this year. Not the friendly happy playa of the last few years. You need to check the wind rating of these before you go out and buy them. for the 100 dollars you would spend, you can get a very strong Monkey Hut. We have built an open shade like this our first yea...

Monkey Huts are the answer. Use a full black out tarp. The HEAVY silver and Brown ones are perfect. You should not be able to see light thru it. The best way to secure a Monkey Hut is to use a 2x4 and rebar. This is true for pretty much any structure, even a car port, which has a tarp to the ground....

I am really enjoying the responses....

THANKS

Thats funny cryptofish, .. superglued..

Personally I would have them in a sealed envelope... that was How we got them before, and the envelope had a staple in it.

[quote="lemur"]FYI, to buy 25,000 staples costs about $6[/quote]

HAHAHAH!

Stapled Tickets as Performance Art?

Very funny!

[quote="capjbadger"]They've always been stapled. Relax. It's not a damn Van Gogh. :roll: It's not $420 in art. It's a copy, mass-reproduced 60,000 times. It's a $420 [i]ticket[/i]. You want real art? Buy the original form the artist. Fucking trolls... -Badger[/quote] As an artist myself, I really do...

[quote="jkisha"]Is there nothing someone will not find to complain about?...REALLY?[/quote] It depends on how much you value something. If you are working to collect art, and to bring that thru time into the future, a future perhaps without burning man at all. It's about trying to preserve a bit of ...

[quote="lemur"]nice troll!


you surely know there is nothing new about this[/quote]


What is a troll..

an no, I've gotten tickets for several years and they were not stapled......

Perhaps I am being a bit frustrated from the general disaster that the ticket buying, and particularly, shipping experience has been. OK, I know we bought the tickets at the most expensive level, $420.00. AND BMORG has had the 1.68 MILLION dollars since November from the first round of ticket buying...

[quote="geospyder"]I just re-read the thread and saw the tent that was staked nicely but shredded. I used the Playa Staples last year and they worked great. I also made an exo-skeleton from 1/2 inch PVC. The ends were also staked into the ground the the "poles" from the tent were tie-wrapped to the ...

Ok that pic scares me and my poor camping tent! As a newbie, could you give me so tent recommendations or point me to a thread that has them? Thanks! Don't be afraid. We use a Eureka K-2 four season tent. Held fine in direct gusts of 55 mph. no big. Barely any dust even with the top vents open. GRE...

in 2008 with great results. we are trying to design a better "pod shade" than we had....

I've seen parachutes used as shade structures for years on the playa. they seem plentiful. However, in working to set up our own "dome". We are wondering.. " how effective are parachutes at shading?" We have sourced some white and red parachutes. It would seem the white chutes would not absorb as mu...

Glorious friends... Kostume Kult enters its 7th year of 'costuming the naked' in need. The annual lightning has yet to strike and no major costume haul has yet been had. We have never gone so long without a sufficient costume trove acquisition--- Alas, the playa has yet to provide. Shouting out to a...

if you use 12 volt EL wire... you could simply use a landscape light timer... they have both time set and photo cell set...

anyone know the info?

A key factor in desert survival is understanding the relationship between physical activity, air temperature, and water consumption. The body requires a certain amount of water for a certain level of activity at a certain temperature. For example, a person performing hard work in the sun at 43 degre...

It depends on the tent. i've been fortunate to purchse a tent rated for 60 MPH winds and up to 100MPH gusts. It is a Eureka K-2 tent which was designed to withstand the rigors of Mt Everest http://www.eurekatent.com/p-72-k-2-xt.aspx The "four season" tent is very good for several reasons other than...

The great thing about going to Burning Man for a really really long time is that most of the stuff you need is already laying around and covered in a thick layer of playa dust for you. I do need a new tent and a new bike this year, but other than that it's just the super basics like food, sunblock,...
