Great job tattoogoddess! Keep up the good fight. Yesterday marks one year since I started my change to eating Ketogenic LCHF and as of this morning I've lost 102.4 lbs. :D I'm really feeling great, this lifestyle is so easy to follow the only thing I miss is drinking beer but not so much. Besides I ...

Howdy peoples of eplaya! Kind of a re-introduction here. Making my preparations for my first Burning Man this year and I'm really stoked I'm finally able to go after many years of wanting to. Either work money or time always got in the way, but this year is a winner got my ticket & VP. A little bio ...

count me in for lamplighters will be an honor to help illuminate BRC for my first burn

I am doing the exact same shade/rope method. How long are you per-cutting your rope sections? I was thinking 20ft would be a safe length to do the trucker's hitch. Giving it a test run on thursday. I would advise not pre-cutting your rope before putting up your structure for testing. Set up your st...

I second the use of the trucker's hitch it's outstanding method to secure just about anything. One tip is to use a steel ring or a carabiner at the ground anchor point to avoid tearing up your rope.

Thanks! Deleted the photos, didn't think before posting (smacks head on table). What can I do about this other than what I've done??

Ditto!!!! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!

I'm camping solo this year too so only cooking for one. I have one those stoves I use it for hiking,it's way to small for BM. I picked this one up on ebay too a few weeks ago and have tested it. It's going to be great for BM much more stable, but still packs small. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Picnic-Cam...

I just got my ticket & VP shipping confirmation email!!! Whooo Buddy!!! Only have to stay duct taped to my front door for a little while longer, just until I have that golden ticket in my mitts... Can't wait to get dusty!!!!

Question! If you've opted foe the "USPS 1st Class Parcel" delivery method should you still get an email shipping notification from Ticketfly?? Still duct taped to the front door waiting for the mail

Have duct taped myself to the front door waiting for the mailman

:lol: my munchies :mrgreen: are my biggest foe... motherfuckin munchies! I hear you, they were doing me in. Used to loves me some gummy bears and sweets and chips, I haven't had a one in 9 months now, but a few weeks into my Keto/LCHF I lost all cravings for them. Now my sweet tooth is satisfied wi...

Yay!! Congrats to all you losers! I'm a loser too, been on Keto/LCHF since Oct. and have lost 84 pounds so far. Keep up the great work everyone!
I think I see a new theme camp in the future "Loser Burners"

Thanks! Gonna look great on the dark playa.

Here is some more EL wire goodies and some flat knots to sew on daytime wear. The EL wire knots are going to be stitched on a black felt panel with sewn pockets for the controllers, that panel will be able to be pinned on a coat or shirt for nighttime fun.

I'm well aware of the need to orientate the hut for the sun, I've got a couple of sun tracking apps on the phone. Will set up for max sun protection and use the rental minivan for wind block. I like the galaxy hut design but want to keep the build somewhat simple. Just need enough room for my 4P ten...

More great tips thanks maladroit! You must be reading my mind I was thinking of gorilla tape reinforcement at the grommets too, I love the stuff, keep about 3 feet of it wrapped around an old gift card in my pocket always.
The tarp I'm getting also has a sewn in poly bolt rope around the edge.

Thanks maladroit! 36" rebar sounds good will use it for the guyout stakes. The bungee cord I plan to use is pretty stretchy and will have plenty of give. I'm thinking of the additional grommets more for the rib edges of the structure to give it a little more stability. I could forgo the ones for the...

Thanks Trilobyte! These tarps come with grommets every 18" and I think adding one in between them will give it a more taught pitch. I will be using brass grommets set with a hammer and die. I did something similar to this years ago rigging a semi permanent tarp roof over my buddy's beach bar in Guam...

Oh yeah, that's the plan, I'll attach the tarp to the frame and the ground line with bungee, also to the rebar itself at the corners and along the sides too. I'm going to be making my own bungee balls. I can get a spool of bungee cord on ebay and cut the lengths I need and make the ball parts using ...

The MH is going to be 15 ft long, I plan on using the standard two 10' ribs joined at the spine and a 12 ft wide floor plan. I gestimate the height of the hut around 6'-7'.
