What's sterile technique? Boil the water first? I've been using distilled water and saline packets for 6-7 years. I used sterile technique at one time in a lab job. We had UV light-flooded rooms you could not be in with the lights on, negative pressure and iodine wiping everywhere. Playa dust is a ...

That particular hut was modified and enforced via extra vertical compression and triangulation with the posts running down the center.

Good design.

True! Extra supports.

I had a few extra myself this year; good decision.

On the first page of a search for Monkey Hut on youtube, you'd find the following.

thank you Savannah!! yes I was thinking Id try to make the LA Decom...would it be weird for a Virgin burner to go??I mean, what am I decompressing from lol...😉 Not weird at all for you to go! :) I think you should strongly consider it. Meeting other Burners is key. You might meet future campmates, ...

Most Burners dont know this but for the past three years I have carved portraits with a chainsaw on playa in a sawdust containment cage so I don't create moop. In all my events I can claim more than 300 portraits and as many as 400..All my wood is sourced from trees taken down by residential tree s...

Hi Theresa! Welcome.

Howdy, benjamin1487!

I'm enjoying some wine in my favorite glass.

I ALMOST MISSED THAT.

Yay!

Welcome, theSelf ! :D Regional contacts are here: https://regionals.burningman.org/regionals/north-america/los-angeles/ And the LA Decompression event is here: http://www.ladecom.com/ To have such a wide range of reactions and feelings--especially during your first Burn--is so familiar. I'm glad you...

Welcome, black_rocky!

Some folks definitely gift pictures . . . there are photo booths on the playa, and photographers who take special portaits and exchange contact information with those who pose, and send the photos later.

I'm glad your first Burn was amazing!

Must agree with Eric. I use a complicated regimen of Diabetes drugs that have to be somewhat carefully timed to work with my insulin. My pill planner is critical. (especially if I'm tired, out of my normal schedule or have had a few) However... I keep these all in a kit (along with my syringes and ...

Welcome, SugarK(ate) ! :D I'm not a typical Burner either. Doesn't matter! "Mid-life REVELATION" . . . I like that. Not enough people say anything close to that. Perhaps go to this! http://www.ladecom.com/ And maybe join these! https://regionals.burningman.org/regionals/north-america/los-angeles/

Welcome, MonsterManJD!

Los Angeles Decompression might be fun for you:

I think it's a tragedy how many potentially good forum nicknames get wasted by these ticket beggar and lost item poster accounts.

Plus 1

Yes! . . . And I get mad when I have to ban a spammer with a cool nickname! What a waste.

Welcome! Flame effects info: https://burningman.org/event/art-performance/fire-art-guidelines/flame-effects/ No quad ATVs are allowed, except for law enforcement, but mutant vehicles/scooters/bikes and transports are allowed; some require special vetting.

Welcome, Seeps! Two years is a great amount of lead time.

Yeah--I do hope it's just an error.

Evening Bar. (* shakes jar of old dust onto the NEB) Home Burn at the Morris Burner Hostel was a nice clean change, with a very welcoming vibe. A happy evening, with good folks. We watched the live stream of the burn. Interesting the way it was sequenced with fireworks throughout and the big boom a...

Man, that sucks. I hope you're reunited.

Yikes! . . . Thank you for sharing that tale. :shock: I had often considered renting a box truck from that location if I were to ever do the whole fly + drive option. And I trust you'll definitely dispute the charges . . . ? Let us know how it goes. I would like to see if that happens to anyone else...

Welcome, GroundStart ! In much the same manner that you come to Black Rock City when you're supposed to, your playa name will arrive when it's ready, too. They are often given to you by a campmate or acquaintance, after something funny or awesome happens . . . I don't think I got mine until my 11th ...

Welcome, jeffb! I'm glad you had an amazing first Burn.

Welcome, Garyoler!

Welcome, Misspanguin!

I don't know why all these people think MyLarry was quiet lol. My goodness he and Ken could talk together for hours! About ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. This exactly!!! My memories of MyLarry were of his bubbliness and his stories, his devotion to AntiM, and his naughty jokes. Maybe it was because of wh...

I’ve used an O2 COOL brand fan before. It uses 8 D batts but works pretty good Met too! I have two 10" O2 Cool Fans, and I like them a lot. About $20 at Home Depot and Amazon. One of them is older (6 or 7 years old?) and requires a tiny tiny screwdriver to get into it, so if anyone orders one, I de...
