its just one more thing to pack out, but we use DoubleDoodie or Wag bags out on the boat. much easier than the old portable potties. (not JOTS) the bags consist of a outer ~3gal heavy plastic double ziploc bag and a larger trashcan bag filled with some type of dry power that Once it gets wet turns i...

I spent some time looking at small gensets... kipor -one chinesee knockoff, had good reviews from some sailing boards. but poor parts availability, vs honda network swayed me to get the EU2000i while it cost a little more, no one I've ever talked to that owned one regretted their decision. http://cg...

IMHO, the short wheelbase of a jeep makes it a poor highway car, and not a good choice for tow vehicle at speed.

I'd think about a cargo van and some beanbag chairs.

last thing you want to worry about is the transportation.

-btw, how much rust on the frame?

from my sailing background I have too much experience with this matter... the "Double Doodie" and 'Wag bags' have a powder type of filler not unlike a diaper gel, that react with fluids to create a gel like substance. they come with a outer ziplock bag that can legally be disposed in any trash can.....

... . when motor power dies, I'm on pure leverage and prayers, she likes to konk out while going up hill this is because; some genius at GM decided, fuel tanks should be drained (intake) in the middle. why not run a 2nd scavenger type tank? that's what racers do... but often requires 2 fuel pumps.....

fwiw, hudson fl, is 1 hr north of tampa. & I'm 5 hrs from tampa, or I would take a look for you. yeah, the briggs are very loud, but I've seen a motorcycle muffler welded to the exaust on a larger (8-10) B&S generator, and it was almost acceptable. ( actually, a kart racing type extractor ) it would...

schools and churches have lots of buses, and lots of down time....

^^^ after about 30 minutes on the road, I stop and put my hand on the hub/bearing, and tire sidewall. it should not be hot. check again after an hour, and every time I stop. I've had a hub failure too, (boat trl), now I carry a hub and bearing set. they have them ready to go at most marine stores......

The number one biggest mistake some people make it that they get there after X many hours, is: getting drunk, running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, and watching the sun come up as their still actively partying... and passing out on the playa. Do yourself a favor and just chill/relax...

I own a zodi 12v powered shower. its just ok. the problem is regulation of the heat, wastes water. now if you had a lake for a source, no problem run it till it gets to the 'right temp' and shower up. but turning it on and off gets the water in to coils too damn hot. I use it on the boat, and ended ...

Don't know if the trailer has shocks. :shock: Good question! Our welder friend is always up for making some extra cash. We'll check. -most trailers have springs, and they do get tired, and need replacing after many years of use. check the clearance between the axle and the trailer frame. once fully...

What does the ice look like? chips crushed, or moulded? & where's is made?

can you see thru it?

clear = clean

btw, I line my coolers with small frozen water bottles, and a few mixed in, and can keep food for 5 days on a boat.

EPIC THREAD!!!

Have you thought about letting the wheels fall off....
cut 1 fork and hold it on silver HiVac tape, + paint..

but a little on the evil side since someone might get hurt...

-better yet would be a paint bomb that marked the offender in some distinct color. maybe henna.

Bolt cutters are old school!

Today's modern thief uses a cordless 5.5" Circular 'skill' saw and a masonry wheel, and a wet sponge. not much can stop it...

try as best you can to slow them down... multiple chains.

^^nice map, thanx!!! Can someone please clarify the difference between Red Yellow and Green, in practical terms to a noob? (I did read the index) Any pictures of a yellow and red site?

Can wetalk about sun shades for a UHaul truck, or van?
big silver tarps? (noisy)

you need about 2' above the vehicle, so , what are options?

use a PVC frame? maybe a few triangles on the roof?

1.5" thick enough?

I bet I'll have a problem getting a hitch on a rental... legally.

so, I was looking at some panel vans... not much more than a car...

I like the idea of being able to go to a self car wash after the event and hitting everything with a pressure washer.

you see the closed trailers on the playa? pretty dust free? or the straight trucks? great idea on the trailer... wonder If I can get a rental w/ a hitch though..... - I think I'd put my own locked padlock in the latch hole, just so it can not be locked.... LOL! re: bilboard. get some contact paper a...

Cool! Great!

to really experience the Playa, You should drive a art car there!

Something big with lots of storage

have you see teardrop trailers? nice option for small vehicles... http://www.golittleguy.com/teardrops/ http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/teardrop/teardrophomepage.html could be built pretty cheaply... we have 'harbor freight' store w/ knock down trailer starting around $180. http://www.harbor...

I'm in the same boat, so to speak......


I think it will be cheaper to buy new than ship, most stuff, unless I can find someone driving out and back.
