Update on the Pinnacle tent (mentioned above in my earlier post as a tent option) from someone who bought one and just set it up for the first time recently. The windows/doors dont fully zip closed (i.e. two zippers on the sides of a square window zip it up but then the flap ties off at the top so i...

Thanks for the info. Are the Kodiak tents heavy/bulky? I haven't owned a canvas tent so i am curious about its size/portability. I'm sure i'm capable of carrying it, though usually there is plenty to carry when car camping...
many thanks,
David

a couple more items: I am a 13 yr play veteran so I have a good skill set managing structures on the playa. I used to have a Kelty Ridgeline 8x8 tent that ended up with a terminal rip after cleaning last year (made it to 13 playa visits... RIP) That tent zipped completely closed and had awesome zipp...

Hi all, playa on my mind... I have a Tent related question as I am looking for a decent sized playa capable tent that zips completely closed (ie no open mesh panels). I'm looking for at least an 8'x8 (4-6 person), but prefer something in the 10x10 or larger size. Any suggestions on make, model, pric...

Hi Bob, Not everything needs to shoot flames to add to the beauty of the playa scene. Countless people have said to me that it was one of their BM highlights to see these craft gracefully harness nature's forces and provide a sort of kinetic art. Sailing itself is an art. Sure it can be argued that ...

OK, so certain wind powered craft are allowed to sail the playa. On the Friday before the burn we will put on a Playa Sailing Parade for the people of BRC. We had a successful one in 2002 with about a dozen vehicles, but the wind did not cooperate last year. WHAT: Playa Sailing Parade :lol: WHEN: Fr...

Chai Guy, Thanks for posting the pics and links to Charles Petrie's diary of the crash and the injuries he sustained. That was my first year at BM and I was windsurfing on a small skateboard craft. I only learned of the accident the following year after they banned all wind-powered vehicles. Since t...

Hi F.P., I think it is great that you plan to windsurf the playa. I have been sailing the BM Playa for 7 years now. However, there was a time when all wind powered vehicles were banned by BM. Someone crashed a bus-sized landyacht into the Opera sculpture. As a result we worked with BM to draft some ...
