Re: What do I pack all my shit in?
I pack hard goods and equipment in rubbermaid-type totes with snap lids. They have been better at staying cleaner than the type with the attached hinged lids that meet in the middle. Clothing and more sensitive camping equpiment / tech goes in pelican cases and marine dry-bags. Keeps the dust down n...

Re: Solar Array Configuration
I've run solar for the past 5 years with no issues. I have a single 80w panel that I put on top of the nearest RV and then forget about for the rest of the week. Two sunlyte 100Ah batteries in parallel and a small morningstar regulator. I've got a small 450w xantrex inverter that I use mainly for my...

Re: Couple law related questions?
1. Can you be charged on the playa with DUI for riding a bike after having a few drinks? (within reason, obviously you wouldn't want to attempt riding a bike absolutely mangled for your safety or others). Might sound like a silly question, but I know the local police here in Toronto issue moving vi...

Re: Advice for Burnign Man newbs V 2.0
never seen the street signs stolen so early in the week before Wow. Stolen early in the week before. Before the event even starts. That is early. [sorry, couldn't resist :D ] It's true that you can't rely on street signs because they do disappear. But you can rely on asking a stranger where you are...

About five seconds later I see a police vehicle go past that was waiting there and pointed at us when this couple was asking if we knew anyone with drugs. Most people don't know that most / many police cars have this horn on the front end that also acts as a shotgun microphone and can record a conv...

Pickle juice makes a good footbath with a little extra funk on the side. Liquid band-aids (cyanoacrylate) can get you back up and running quickly if you do develop cracks. Prevention is really the key here. I do the squishy-with-lotion-and-socks thing , don't ever let my bare feet touch the playa, a...

[quote="Elorrum"]I used a wax lube, and didn't do a good clean and grease when I got back. looking at a rather rusty chain at the moment. I think I'll try to clean it and lube with oil for now. might need a new chain, so clean up and oiling when you return are important. Read that just WD 40 and wip...

I run my cpap from batteries and a laptop inverter every year. I use a solar panel to charge the batteries during the day and I keep my machine in a well-sealed pelican case when I'm not using it. I don't have enough power to run the heated humidifier, but the cpap part works fine. Change the filter...

I made a structure like this and it was a total disaster. So don't do what I did and you may have some better luck than I did. Mistake #1 - We bought the cheaper lighter weight PVC tubes. They basically melted in the heat. Mistake #2 - We lifted one side of the tarp so we could see all the passers-b...

Army-style desert boots. Clean socks every day. Lots of lotion on the feet. Wash them every night. Try not to let your bare feet touch the playa. Lip balm, which can also be used on your cuticles. My hands always get blasted out there. You can't bring too much lip balm. Makes great gifts/barter swag...

I wonder if you could glue a bicycle tube or tire valve to your standard garden pump-up type sprayer, then connect a small powered compressor to that. Set the compressor to a low enough pressure that you're not going to break anything. although IIRC my sprayer had a relief valve that would open if I...
