Just for clarification, the design that theOtherDoc posted is totally playa-tested. IT works.

I'm so glad Doc's in my camp.

Here are the part details from Chuck (Doc) to go with my awesome high-end drawing. wicking membrane: Wick filter L15-C for LAsko (CHF-50)(IA2658) www.iallergy.com 16x25x1 true blue basic pleated air filter (MERV 7) that's the air filter on top to keep the dust out of the works www.filters-now.com ru...

Yeah, it looks like that, but it wasn't paper, it was some sort of yellowish beige synthetic. And thinner. Looks a lot like the drawn illustration in the lower left corner of that linked web page.

I don't have the exact details, Chuck designed them, but I can give you a little more detail as I recall them and also forward this to him. I think the wicking material is a replacement part for a humidifier, a webby spongy membrane. It was set vertically into a plastic tub about 14"Hx18"Hx24"L, sta...

Hi, I've got a bunch of pieces of camo net that I don't want. Free is my final proce, I can go no lower. In Bushwick, brooklyn. I need the stuff gone by february, when I move out. Come and get it.

+1 on duck Pond! One of the best parties I went to all week was Monday night at duck pond.

Oh, ok, nexus was kind of beyond belief this year.

It was the scumfrog. The tall guy with the white hat. Here's a link to a listen only of that set:

wasn't that great?

Although listening at home on my little speakers all alone at 2 pm is somehow not as good...

what are the specs on that ENORMOUS sound system on Robot Heart this year? My god that was a big mobile sound system. And so beautiful early sunday morning at sunrise...

Grr the michael jackson early friday AM at the 3:00 was my only sound gripe from all the whump and whirr and crack all week long. Damn that made me angry. Makes me more angry to hear that there was no one there!! Ok maybe I'm discriminating against michael jackson. But grr I was pissed off. But- I s...

What, you want to pee on them too?

that sounds like a waste of water. We'll probably just pee on you and tell you you did it.

We're offering naps. Air-con (evap-cooled), (and solar-powered!) quiet, dark naps. You know you need it. Camp Wet Dreams. 3:30 and Florence, inside Barbie death village. Give us your poor, dried-out, strung-out masses...

3 AM wakeup. the idea for how to solve the water problem. the how to make this whatnot better. The idea for how to anser this or that camp members' concern. The curse of being the hyperactive camp producer. There's not even the dreams. Just the anxiety. Getting it all ready. This shit's almost too m...

have you checked out bjurts?

yeah, I don't know what the stuff is called, but it totally worked last year. It was 20 degrees cooler on the inside of the tent.

sort of. I'm figuring on keeping the coolers outside the cooled structures to maximize their efficiency, cold air ducted in, but then again you get direct sun on your cooler which can screw up the process.

last year, chuck made this awesome swamp cooler that used no drip system at all, just a superefficient wicking material set with it's bottom end in a reservoir of water. The wicking membrane was something from a humidifier. It wicked well enough that the water drew up into the membrane on its own. I...

I have found camo net not heavy enough. Lets too much sun in. Maybe doubled or tripled would work. I have used a bunch of camo net as my dome skin, and always had to layer it with something else to be effective against the sun. Upgrading this year. Hopefully.

Can we look at things from the point of view, "the greatest good for the greatest number?" Most of the folks who go to the burn are adults. Most of the activities and art are intended for an adult perspective. A kid getting traumatized or hurt by all the stuff they don't understand that happens at t...

Last year it was actually the source of some real friction between dear wife and self; I was so full-time about bm planning that she started to feel like I there was no room for her in my burning man. This from a woman to whom I got engaged on-playa.

This year she's all good. More fully on-board!

Hmmmmm.... @southcoaster: Ok from what I know, fridges pull a fair amount of power. I think for a mini fridge something like 150-200w, for a fullsize fridge something like 400-500w. That's a lot for pulling off a battery. A lot. So if you have to run that all the time, your best bet might be either ...

does anyone know where I can find the tourist information center on playa? And I've heard the food court is a good place to find a reasonably priced licensed tour guide. I've heard the tour guides can really be a ripoff. I've budgeted a decent amount of money for a good tour guide, but itll only wor...

on top of the last post- and shave by feel. Shave it blind, methodically, then run your fingertips around finding the rough bits. And use a damp cloth to wipe off whatever your razor didn't get. Two small bowls of water. One for initial wash and razor dipping, one for cleaning your rinse cloth. I do...

Make a ring with your vehicles and think security. That kind of makes it sound like they're coming in heavy in large numbers. Like defending against a zombie barbarian horde. But seriously, you like to make a perimeter wall with your vehicles parked tightly together? keeps people from coming in fro...

What, you didn't notice all the naked women wandering around? I always do, and I know it's on account of my X-Ray Specs.

I'd rather practice with your beer than with mine.

I can also breathe underwater and I have x-ray spex.


I can sell you some cheap. They only work at Burning Man though.
