Wow!! Sextant camp, that zipline, and those tesla towers look great. I would definitely attempt that zipline. I wonder if the Coup De Foudre tesla project will be there this year? I'd love to see that too. And yes!!! The Phange!!! My first year I accidentally stumbled into their camp and they were s...

Yaaaas. Fibonacci sequence.

Hello, So I am actually going to make it out to the playa this year! I am currently in school for chemical engineering and TTITD falls right between the end of an internship and before fall quarter... meant to be really. So I did a quick search and didn't find much but I am hoping you fine people ca...

Got back on the fitness wagon. It helps a ton to have a date and a more definable goal. Feel comfortable naked in public by Burning Man 2011 anyways, documenting my food changes and exercise at: diamondmoth.wordpress.com Just posted my before photos and measurements. It's a bit nerve racking but I t...

i was thinking mannequin would work best because it would also already be able to attach to a base.

But they are super expensive, if I could find a damaged one that would be best since I'm planning on covering it anyways.

any one know where to find cheap mannequins beside craigslist?

I'm building a statue of a person that's going to be around 6 ft tall and need some help with the construction. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to construct the actual statue but eventually I'll need to work on attaching it to a base. The statue is going to be interacting with tree like statu...

I wanna go! I wanna go!!. I really didn't think I'd make it to Burning Man at all this year because of finances so being able to go and also meeting you all sounds awesome. I loooved the Barbie Death Camp last year. Really good wine and nice people. Thursday at six pm on 3 and E.....saying it over a...

aw man, love that diagram! We' have the same thing except our shade structure is a super large tarp that covers the whole jeep and a half monkey hut like rib cage that comes off the top of the jeep. We use astro turf but you could use painter cloth drop, We're not planning on using anything for unde...

Duct ape

Do you think the duct tape will melt? I heard there is heat resistant tape for car parts and what not...maybe I'll try it.

does any one know how to patch a tarp?

I have a HUGE super heavy duty one that is so wonderful but it has a tiny hole right where we didn't put a tennis ball on some PVC...

It's a 1989 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl 4 liter . When its loaded up with all our gear and we go over a bump the tires rub on the plastic cover thing. I checked under there and its not rubbing on any of the metal, like the frame or leafs, but on the plastic thing on the out side of the tire. We could remove...

Oooh! Tough one. Spend a grand on a one time rental with peace of mind or spend the grand on fixin' the old Jeep and a prayer. Tough call. The good thing about Jeeps is the available aftermarket parts. A 3" lift kit will likely cost less than smler tires. The radiator is also a quick fix. Anything ...

Uggh, that's the debate me and my partner have been having! We have a beastly jeep that is amazing and I love it but last year the radiator burst ( which is apparently something they just do in these older ones ) and the tires are big and the frames not lifted so being so overloaded it made a scary ...

looking around and found this

seriously? Rent a wreck? is this a joke?

ooh nice, called up U-Haul about the "BBQ" in nevada. its 19.95 per 24 hours and .39 cents per mile...so about a little less then 1000 bucks should cover it. Cargo vans from enterprise and thrifty rent were looking to be about 2000 dollars soo....I might just have to risk bedding with the devil to s...

ooh nice idea on the cargo van. We only have two passengers but were driving from Bozeman, MT which only has U-haul. I've heard they are horrible to rent from but we'll see. We also have an airport with all your regular car rental companies.

phew...thought I wasn't going to make it this year because our jeeps a POS BUT we can afford to rent a van! Yay!

So does any one have tips on how to protect the rental? Would covering it with a tarp do any good? Is the only real tip to just clean that sucker after we get home?

aw good stuff. The one about the dvd's......I think all our movies are "torrents"? All I know is that the tv plays movies and we have no DVD's!!

Perks of dating an uber geek. I now have a smart phone ( I barely use ) and can NEVER figure out how to work the damn "media center"

Hey,
Found this searching for Montana threads...There are people who go to Burning Man and live in Montana!

Thought I'd say hello, how ya doing?

Dmoth...re: bike- you don't need gears on the playa, just fat tires, a basket, lighting, and a comfy, wide seat (covered in fur!)... haunt garage sales for 'old-school' cruisers; I love my old, beater Schwinn (painted pink and covered with stickers and fluffy stuff)... I think you may be right...pl...

Spent a week in Seattle dealing with stupid real estate legal bull poop. BUT I'M BACK! Watched a Burning Man Documentary last night on the 2003 burn, was pretty interesting. No matter how many pictures or videos, I'm always shocked at how nothing can really explain what it's like. I also realized la...

Today's item, I sewed the 2nd Shemagh I'm bringing. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3331/4559989130_6a7c851a64.jpg This one's a bit thicker cotton and so a tad hot compared to the first one (which matches my hair better) : http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3297/4559357897_279d8bc36c.jpg Nice, I like th...

My conquest for the day: Tackling my craft room. I love that we live in Montana and can afford to live in a house. That's coming from previously living in a studio in downtown Seattle...me, boy, and three cats.... ugh. So I have the downstairs living room as my craft room. So far it's awesome and to...

So I did more research, the 50k run at BM sounds awesome! I was sure that it was a joke but Ultra marathons are legit! http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=174362476725&ref=ts I maaaaybe able to get up to that level in 97 some odd days but I don't think so. Right now I can only run 15 minutes no...

wow that sounds like an awesome idea. I remember the camp that brought there own beer and it was amazing. The beer was good, and I was really digging the vibe. You could tell they really just loved making good beer and giving it to nice people. ...but I love trying new beers so I'm biased. This soun...

They're planning on 8 hours for the 50k. Starts at 4am till noon. DM you said you watch Biggest Loser...Daris ran 23 miles in just a bit over 4 hours. So it can be done. (just not by me...yet) Huh, I had no clue! Sounds awesome. Would you eat those jelly glucose things while you run? How do people ...

hmm, I feel I should word this carefully only because it's such a larger topic. I'll try not to drift. I totally understand how many people would have the opinion that if the law says something, fallow the law. And same with the rules of Burning Man. I can totally stand by the rules of Burning Man, ...
