I had no issues with dust, but then again, seemed like a pretty calm year, and I had the cooler (and door) on the leeward side of my yurt.

Clearly I need to pick up a thermometer.

Reporting from the playa... I left BRC in 2010 with the thought that if I was going to bring my wife, I was going to need an air-conditioned hexayurt. I built the box cooler out of plywood, coupled it with the Costco 115ah battery and the HF 45 watt solar panels. Worked fabulously. My wife would hea...

Better pictures...the can of Pro Flex is the stuff I used to seal it. I'm sure boat paint would work great too, but I have great confidence in this product. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6089/6078385660_b627a96c78_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6065/6075145963_f1ba8126f9_z.jpg http://farm7.st...

Finished my plywood unicooler, per Figjam's design. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6065/6075145963_f1ba8126f9_s.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6187/6075679758_0097f9f96d_s.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6080/6075142663_40d500efa5_s.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6196/6075142249_d3e970296...

Did a test assemble of my semi-folding H12 this morning in the parking lot of a local school this morning. Let me just say....thank you, thank you, thank you Julie Danger. Such a great moment when I put the two sections of roof next to each other, taped one side together, then lifted it up and had t...

Thanks everyone for the advice in this thread, and especially to Julie. The semi-folding design is just brilliant; I was able to get 13 sheets of RMax (one spare) successfully home on the top of my sedan, and am cutting in windows and doors before creating my loose and tight hinges. Anyhow, my quest...

Any advice on venting my H12 hexayurt for use with a swamp cooler? The main idea seems to be to cut a hole in the wall, and tape a furnace filter over it, but the drawback seems to be that anything above the height of the window is hot moist air. Does it damage the structural integrity to cut a hole...

If I have a box cooler with an endless breeze fan (900 cfm on high), how big an exhaust hole do I need to put in my hexayurt? The smallest furnace filters I can find at my hardware store are 10 x 20, if I cut a 9 x 18 inch hole, and tape a furnace filter over it, will that be big enough to vent, or ...

Very helpful. I'm going to repeat just to check for understanding... I've got the Harbor Freight solar panel controller, and it's got a cigarette lighter hole...so I can just splice the pump into the fan cord, and then plug the fan into the HF controller. If I splice a switch into the cord, I'll be ...

Love this thread, and am busy assembling a box cooler. Any advice on how to power it would be welcome. I've got the solar replacement pump from silicon solutions, and the 12v endless breeze fan, for power I've got the 115ah battery from Costco and the 45w solar panels from Harbor Freight. I think I'...

Love the plan for the box cooler! I'm putting one together to cool my hexayurt. UPS just delivered the Endless Breeze fan. I don't have any experience with silicone caulk, but this fan is pretty heavy...will the caulk really hold it in place?

Thanks

I'm planning on bringing an H12 using 1 inch thick panels this year. This will be my first hexayurt. Very thrilled with the camp danger design, but I've got a few questions... First...has anyone tried the 1.5 or 2 inch panels? How significant is the improvement? Second...how do tape anchors work wit...
