They are real. Some jerk is selling an old uniform.

Hopefully that solar panel will offset some of the draw. I assume the panel will be connected to the battery the entire time, whereas the fan will only be on 4-5 hours a day. Hopefully the constant .3 amp input will cut the sporadic 2 amp output at least in half. If that fails, well, I just heard th...

I've attached the fan that fig recommended to the underside of the 5-gal bucket lid, and glued the sewage pipe to the top. 1. A couple of concerns: the fan actually has 1.6 amps printed on it, whereas fig said his total draw was 1.4 amps. 2. The air seems to be blowing out of just one side of the se...

Please, people, use caution when handling/testing the fan that fig recommended. Don't put a huge gash in your thumb like my dumb ass did. Turns out the fan is, indeed, quite powerful. It can split you wide open with just the residual spin it puts out after being turned off. Better now than on the pl...

Fig, I was talking exclusively about that magical space garbage container. I was trying to be polite by not mentioning your ... ahem ... issue.

Uhh... that takes the freakin' cake. Thanks to Mr. Fig and collective wisdom for the design! I'm getting 22-25 degrees of cooling, easily powered by a 45 watt solar panel. With two Scythe fans the output is a little marginal for my 23' class A RV, but with the flow piped directly to the curtained-of...

Aw jeez, I hope you're not a woman. *blushes at the realization of his own partriarchically oppressive worldview* See what having a performance studies feminist scholar as a girlfriend will do?

By the way Fig, come to camp Wet Dream for a blowjob. It's a rite of passage, you know.

Fig, we can probably just cut the holes, instead of drilling them, right? In all sorts of fun shapes, like boobs and dicks?

Oh! Also, can I use that solar panel I linked to in my previous post to charge a car battery?

Thanks!

Thanks very much for the quick reply, Fig!

Now to find a way to properly seal off the tent...

I have some questions about powering the fan and pump. It looks like the pump has its own solar panel, which is great, but to power the fan I will need a power supply. Seeing as how I'm in the middle of nowhere, I assume I will need some sort of battery. That's great! I have a charged car battery si...

:D :D :D Can anyone relate any experience of sitting for an extended period of time in the middle of the deep playa in the middle of the night? Is it scary? Exciting? Peaceful? Boring? Dangerous? I went out by myself last year and found it to be fairly terrifying. granted, i was alone and in quite t...

go for it. jeebus spoke to me through the stars. i have no idea what the fuck he said.

I once sat out on a lake, struggled, prayed, tried to catch a lady, a fish, tried to fight my self, and had a religious experience. No drugs involved. At this point I just want to play a couple of games of chess.

I'd say halfway, maybe two-thirds, between the trash fence and the outer edge of the city. It's hard for me to say, because I've never attended Burning Man. All the way out? The darker, the deeper, the better.

ygmir, you are absolutely correct. Galaxybeing writes: All tarp sizing is like that. The idea is that if you have, for instance, a frame size of 10x10, the tarp will be a bit smaller so it will sit in the center of that frame and be suspended by the ball bungies. So you would still buy a 10x10 tarp,...

So should I get a tarp that is one foot larger than the specified dimensions? I called Creative Shelters and left them a message, as no one picked up.

http://galaxybeing.com/galaxyhut/ says that you are supposed to use a 16x24 tarp, and provides the link to a reputable distributor. But at that distributor's website, it says "actual sizes are 4" to 6" shorter in length and width than order size." So which do I get? The 16x24, or the 20x30? so, are...

Does anyone have an opinion on these LED gloves? Do they stand up to tough use? Do they work for a decent amount of time? How's battery life?

Prepare for your first beer-bong... Playa style.

I don't want to buy a whole bunch of stuff for Burning Man, but I am bringing a station wagon and do have a bunch of painter's drop cloths I can take along ... does anyone know if or how I can attach these drop cloths to the open end of the station wagon for reliable shade?
