Hello all! I'm Whiskey or Heiro or Mr. P. I camped with BooBy Bar in 2009 and organized the Cosmic Collidescope in 2010 before moving to Australia. This year we've teamed up with a crew from Oregon called the 7 Deadly Sins at 730 & A. Coming from OZ, we booked everything early, including the box tru...

Regarding Mr. Polando's evaporator design, which seems to be pretty popular...With me, too. I'm about to build mine to test it out a bit before taking it to the Playa this summer. A thought: Seems one of the difficulties with the design is keeping the top disc perfectly level, to allow water to cas...

You are thinking to hard about it. Just go to www.desertdomes.com and build one. I have built many domes and my brother did all kinds of engineering on the calculations from desert domes just to know how to do it manually and it works. The first dome we made sure everything was cut and drill to 1/3...

I ran into a whole crew of burners from San Diego this year. They were camped at like 4:00 & A. I can't remember the name of their camp but they did certify me to breed on wednesday of the event, which may have been a jinx.

Yeah, that shit's passé, like heroin.

how'd the hexayurt work out? we were pretty happy w/ ours, not as roomy head height wise, but way less dusty....I understand the need for projects btw :) The yurt was amazing! Our clearance was great due to the peaked roof we put on the door wall. We faced that wall (by dumb luck) opposite the prev...

Yes, yes you did! Now, if I do start my own camp, hopefully I can recruit a fluffer at least half as good as you!

Excellent.

HIya Hiero! How's Jungo? You will want to Pm STARGEEZER!!!! He's the man who did all the calculations for Titwi's Structual cuts! He's amazing! xoxox PM Him Pinemom!!!!!!!! Sorry I haven't checked in with you guys any sooner. I've been busy as hell and to be perfectly honest, I spent most of the fi...

does this mean you ain't gonna camp with us next year ? I told TITWI the last time we talked that the only way in the world I wouldn't camp with you guys next year was if I started my own camp. BluCheetah, me and a few other local burner friends have discussed the prospect of starting a camp. I've ...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/jsoverman/testdome.jpg This is my first post since being on playa. This past burn was my first and it's hard to put in words, so I won't! I was blessed to be a member of the BooBy bar and can't imagine there's any better burners to learn the ropes from than TIT...

I will be bringing (half of) my mother's remains to the playa this year (I lost the other half...just kidding). Could I leave you more ash and redeem a playa brick? In all seriousness, this is a fantastic gift. I've held onto my mom's ashes for so many years waiting for the right time and place to s...

You may be misunderstanding the whole theme camp thing. Not every camp at burning man is a theme camp, lot's of people set up their own small camps just like you would going camping with friends. Also, themes and gifting aren't necessarily the same thing. Yes, most theme camps use their theme to giv...

I'm rooting for a queer/vegetarian/faerie camp, seems like just what you're looking for and a just what BRC needs. You could always start one if you stop traveling for one damn minute!

I'm so glad this thread drifted.

The project is from many of the same people that brought you the Steampunk Treehouse. My part is making it fly on Friday night. We even have a unique astronaut, Gus Gristle. The show will be very unique. We are bringing some new effects to the Playa courtesy the crew from Black Rock FX. Jack http:/...

And you had to use that vile, mysogenistic word. Oh yeah, that's 100 extra points for you. As I have to do often with your posts I looked it up. and...I was gonna make some kind of joke but everyone seems so serious. oooh look at the lightning bolt my webcam caught tonight. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_F9...

I'll be interested to see how your tests go, though I suspect you are right in your assumptions that paint (especially any darker color) will have a negative effect on the reflectivity and cooling properties.

We're going for six foot walls, which is why we are adding the additional two feet at the bottom of the horizontal panels. This way we only need to cut three 4' x 8' pieces in half. No waste. We toyed around with the idea of eight foot walls, but thought it would be too risky in case there were str...

Makes sense that the reflective surface would help keep the yurt cool; but I don't understand why in the world the company would have designed them to left exposed. Other than the hexayurt, when are they ever left exposed in construction????? JK I asked my local supplier the exact same question and...

I have two of those commercial ones. The point is I can't lift them out of the camper. There is no point in messing with plastic bags. I'm thinking about inside layer...bath tub surround plastic with drain piped out, foam core, then plywood or whatever. Just not sure on that plastic. Fiberglass is ...

My 'guess' is that it wouldn't reduce the insulation value much, if at all, should you paint it. I just would stick to the lighter colors. I am just basing this on the way those panels are used in building--they are covered by whatever the external finish is--wood, brick, etc. We painted a flower g...

Does anyone have any thoughts about using R-Tech insulation versus the foil coated R-Max (or similar Thermax, Tuff-R)? R-Tech is basically white styrofoam with some kind of clear plastic film coating, so it's white, not reflective like the R-Max. Seems a flimsy-er, but I can get the R-Tech $8 per p...
