“I can do very little to influence how people treat you. I wish I could.” This is complacency. Why don’t you (1) ask how you can help influence how people treat others or (2) research how you can help influence people? Instead of assuming you can’t? Members of any majority population are often the ...

Isn’t thermite an aluminum + Fe2O3 anaerobic combustion where the Al steals the oxygen out of the rust and you end up with a bunch of Iron and Al2O3 powder?

That’s exactly the kind of thing that’s perfect for the playa.

BTW, it is insanely bright when it burns ...

So far my searching indicates that Aluminet is not fire retardant... Don't want to light mine on fire to confirm. Does anyone have insights?

Not only is it not fire retardant in any way, HDPE is classified as highly flammable.

Aluminet is aluminized thin-film HDPE, woven into a cloth.

You don’t say where you at. Your state will have opinions on this. In CA, 14 years old for unsupervised riding with a training certificate. 18 without a cert. At 7 - a bicycle should be just fine. But that’s just my opinion. If you have to give in, dirt bike is a better option from a “which vehicle ...

Let’s assume Mini-Van : this simplifies things and reduces costs significantly. 2000 miles round trip - let’s say $500 for gas and whatnot for the trip. Tickets and VP for two - $1200 (assuming some price hikes here which are likely) Food, drink, snacks - $200 Tent, miscellaneous camping stuff - $20...

Stay a while here, say hello, tell us a bit more.

Driving or flying?
How far?
Have you camped before?
Have you ever been the 973rd person to use a Porto-potty at any event?

The event needs to be made much MORE difficult to attend, to reduce the demand and weed out the spectators.
Then the tickets supply problem goes away.

That’s easy.

Make 447 access a full strip search with “The Glove” at Nixon and only other road in via Jungo.

That would be loads of fun!

I miss Bob. Good to see him here now and again.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just put all that pipe on the roof of your already large vehicle and not mess with cuts and assembly? I get it when folks with a Honda Civic want to cut pipe ... It this is a square-cab retired ambulance, buddy, you got roof space. Bunch of L-brackets, some channel iron from...

Could be a good way for all kinds of things BM, be it tickets, grants, fundraising, etc.

Lots of possibilities.

I don’t think I’ve ever taken a squat without unloading the bladder at the same time.

If you have a specific need to keep something frozen for 5 days, and don’t open the cooler daily, yes, it works. If it’s your daily use cooler that gets opened allot, then it’s just like any other cooler. Getting a block of ice every other day isn’t that big a deal. I’d skip the hassle of shipping i...

34 closed at ~ 1-mile marker North of Gerlach. Fatal accident. NHP estimate 4-6 hour closure due to crime scene investigation. Bmtraffic twitter reports line to Empire.

You still kicking butterflies my man. Thank you for the years of graphing.

Haha haha! Yeah, good luck with that! It’s the den of the Nuevo Tech Glitterati. To be honest, I’d rather they sample the Playa from the comfort of their 600 label wine cellar than by invading BM with their Sherpa Camps and luxury chauffeured art cars. Maybe they can pay the streaming bill so MBMatt...

Important note: 34 to gate is ~ 3 miles. At 5 mph that should take ~ 35 - 40 minutes to drive. Gate to greeters is another ~ 2 miles. If there was no wait, it takes over an hour to get from the paved road of 34 to Moe’s road fork. Reports from the dust on reddit - LEO is ticketing speeders on gate r...

I love the BM org reference to a “fuel resistant tarp”... has anyone ever found such a unicorn? Yes but in industry it’s called a fuel containment liner, and it ain’t cheap. The use of “tarp” is a terrible disservice to LNT. Everyone takes the leap to the cheap blue tarps which are absolutely not g...

NWS GFS MOS forecast has some good winds in NV Saturday evening/night 24th - 25th.

Perfect for Gate!

Don’t know if it impacts the MnG.

There are many reasons fuel safety is super tight at BM. The main ones you should focus on: 1. We don’t want YOU to die in a fiery explosion. 2. We don’t want your neighbors to die from the shrapnel of the fiery explosion. 3. We don’t want you to suck the off-gassing fumes from your fuel which WILL ...
