Whelp after a long talk my ladyfriend and I decided that a teardrop trailer would be more fun to work with then
the crazy contraption I was originally thinking up. So yeah I'm abandoning all intent on a Gypsy wagon for now.
Thanks for the links though guys!

I tried to post this earlier and can't seem to find the post so if it was removed please message me so I know why. If that other post somehow regenerates also let me know so i can delete this or that one. So I would like to start a open discussion about the design of a pop up style/inspired camper f...

Three words for you guys... Lakes OF FIRE!!! Totally amazing event that sported amazing people, fantastic art, greats music, a kick ass effigy and last but not least a camp ground that has SHADE. It was colorful and amazing in the day but at night with the effigy and the fire those woods were lit up...

So after lakes of fire I am totally stoked for the firespinning aspect of burns. And since I have a good martial arts backing in swords and since I regularly engage in all forms of sword combat I thought it would be cool to pursue a flaming sword act. Now I have seen that most idiots on the internet...

For those of you who don't know, there is finally a new album for Gorillaz and its known Plastic Beach.

So I have been listening to the album from youtube and a few other sources and I think its fucking amazing. But what are your thoughts?

I already was ready to get this thing looked at and hopefully licensed as a mutant vehicle for the burn and I have read that part of the survival guide on the speed limit and such. So does the thing need to be built so that it cannot achieve speeds over 5 mph or can I when at the burn build some sor...

Right so first off need to state I did fiddle with the search function and didn't yield anything helpful. That aside I want to build a mini bike for burning man and for other events that I go to that will look like it was made by like goblin techies or maybe a bit of steampunk crossover. Heres a pic...

What I am thinking of is something like two seperate towers that are three stories each. These will serve as tents and camp. The towers will then be linked by a bridge with railings so nobody can fall off easily. Also I was thinking of more buying the scaffolding because there are other events that ...

Title says it all. I may not be at this years burn but for my prep of next year I want to start by designing a scaffold tower and thus need to know where everyone gets theirs. Thanks

WANT!!!! (Does it come in fur?)

Thanks guys for all of the responses and I think that I will just bring a fake or costumed piece of wood now since it seems there are more then enough rules on not having real swords.

So if I come to this years burn I really want to go in my full samurai garb that I have. Of course I would love to include my whole accompaniment of katana and wakasashi with this but then I think about the legal issues here. Like I know for a fact that guns are outlawed and that is perfectly unders...

I'm from Oswego which is about 10 mins from Aurora or 20 from Naperville. I really plan on going this year and really want to sink my teeth into BM. I have plently of skills building and designing things so my skills would be in direct interest for you hopefully. Anyway give me a pm back with more i...

Its apparently possible to take a futon thats wood apart and then rip it down to make slats for a yurt. If you do that you not only have a great way to constructively rid yourself of the futon but also have a project that may ease the pain of your loss. Then just take it to the playa and dedicate a ...

Ok well thanks everyone for the input I can now see how the whole staking situation really is handled. I just wanted to put in my two cents and see if it was a good idea and honestly am happy not to be shredded up with board trolls. Anyway I really like some of the ideas posted and will most likely ...

Hey guys I have been doing tons of research on burning man and everything to do with it for about a year now. I was unfortunate in not being able to buy a ticket last year and due to a lack of job might not be able to go this year. Still though I have been following alot of the stuff here and since ...
