Why, do you care what one chose's to live in? Why?? :roll: :roll: :roll: Some people have nothing better to do than try to force their opinions on others. I see it all the time. I don't get it, but I see it. How many of the haters actually approached an RV dweller and talked to them? Perhaps try to...

The good Capt is hitting every nail square on the head. If we ever meet I think we'd get along fine. To all the anti-RVrs and "RVing isn't really burny" crackpots let me go ahead and tell you all to kindly fuck off and mind your own damn camp. You have no right to dictate what comfort level I or any...

Triple A with the RV Plus option. Not the cheapest service in the world, but certainly cheaper than paying for a tow out of pocket. It isn't attached to a vehicle, it is attached to an individual ... you don't even need to have a driver's license. The RV option provides a tow up to 100 miles, inclu...

Dermabond is basically medical grade super glue and tends to leave much smaller scars. Why we still use stitches for many minor injuries is beyond me. In a pinch, duct tape works well for larger gashes. Super glue, duct tape, large hose clamps, an exacto knife... My playa first aid kit looks more li...

Burning Man Sucks, Don't Go!

From what I saw licensing in purely a subjective matter determined by the hottie you happened to draw. I was fortunate to get a mechanically cluefull gentleman for my day license and we talked about how this and that worked. Watching his eyes light up as I explained the steering mechanism was a joy ...

I'm so glad we caught you at Tsunami. Great show as always and being in front, close enough to smell the poi was awesome. Thank you for heading back out to the playa to make a bunch of mutants happy. I'm a little bummed the Friday night show didn't happen as we had a big group of Newtaytors eager to...

My only injuries happened in camp while pitching and striking and were pretty mild this year. Most of my campmate's injuries involved bicycles in one way or another. They hit someone, someone hit them or they all just hit each other. In my opinion fully lit bicycles are far more dangerous than unlit...

Can you get spare poles for it? Pole-repair sleeves? I have a large tent that snapped a pole in some heavy coastal winds. To "fix" it I used a (maybe) 2' length of 1/2" pvc to crutch it by slipping over the broken area. Since the break was at a point covered by material when fully erected I wrapped...

The Swedish tyvek based nets are really good and reflecting IR and UV. If you can find it at a reasonable price it's worth it. Even though my 3 year old one is almost completely separated from the end seams I just run a length of rope through a series of holes near the edge and it's worked out for m...

I really miss the Funk Camp/Church of Funk/Funkmobile crowd. Does anyone know what happened to them? They were genuinely the shit and had the greatest vibe. I guess they're sort of disbanded now but many still attend. A group of them built and played the RoadHouse last year at Fandango. Yes, they r...

Ok, so I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree and forgot this info is right on the DMV Registration Acceptance Letter. They are 12" long by 3" wide and go on the drivers side lower rear area of the vehicle. For both day and night licenses you'll need a 12" by 6" area to accommodate them. Don't forge...

Does anyone know the dimensions of the Mutant Vehicle stickers this year? I believe I'll get both night and day approval and want to make sure I have a proper place for them.

Thanks!

What we are planning to do is put up two carports side by side and use the tie-down setup that AntiM has a picture of earlier in this thread: using rachet straps in an X pattern for all of the "exterior" spaces but leaving the two inner spaces open. That way we'll have to squeeze between the straps...

I'm all for taking out the 911Truth people using thermite. Just because you put "truth" in your name doesn't mean you're not completely batshit crazy.

I was going to skip the burn this year until I heard Mutaytor was going to be doing a show. One of my fondest memories from 2004 was your show and how fucking much you rocked.

Loved the DVD filming show and LIB too but back on the playa? Hell Yeah! Let's Fuck Shit Up!

I have several piercings (including nipples) and have never had a problem with them that was caused by the playa. Now getting them caught on other peoples jewelry /costumes is a different matter. Even after almost ripping a nipple ring out on someones necklace I was a little sore (and aroused) but f...

Also does anyone have any experience with RV covers Those RV covers flapping in the wind can cause some serious damage to the paint. I considered one until I heard the horror stories on rv.net. Just remember that your windows are the least insulated areas on your rig. Cover them up and enjoy. As fa...

Many times the direction you park will be partially (or completely) dictated by your surroundings and camp layout. My rv is always on the outside of camp providing physical and visual barriers for campmates. If you cover the inside of your windows with foil backed bubble wrap it wont matter which di...

When we arrived in the wee hours Sunday morning there were people parked all along the road from before Gerlach all the way to the gate. I sorta felt bad for all these people that had to camp out so close to the city but not that bad. I mean there was an easy and legit way to get in early. I figured...

Fandango sucks, do go!

Slow Burn Lounge and Roadhouse

Both in Fandango Village

But I'm biased.

The Petting Zoo was really cool too.

Drive up with your tanks empty. Fill up in Reno before and dump in Reno afterward. For me it's worth the extra hassle of finding a place to do both. Our RV doesn't like the grades loaded with BM stuff and hauling extra water around just pisses it off. Gas mileage will be greatly increased. Surely en...

Don't sweat the RV haters. I think you'll find the people actually on the playa are a bit more open minded and could really care less what you camp in. The JOTS guys will pump your tanks for a small fee. Search the BM site. They will also refill with non potable water. Make sure there is a 30' clear...

2 things off the top of my head:

Dry Ice

Propane Fridge/Freezer

I've kept otter pops frozen all week.

How much gasoline to bring?

ALL of it.

Seriously, you can't bring enough.

Last year we arrived in the middle of the night. It was a bit of challenge finding our village since there was only a couple people who arrived before us. We were lucky enough find some other early arrivers still awake and they pointed us in the right general direction. I was really cracked out from...

My first year I didn't bring any nasal spray and ended up with a bad case of playa nose that took a couple weeks to heal.

I never seem to bring enough mixers. Everybody loves mixers.

Keeping your clean traveling clothes in ziplocs helps preserve their freshness.

A t-post puller with the fulcrum near the ground works great for t-post and rebar. I personally don't have the patience for the vice grip method but it works.

Both are playa tested and burner approved.

You are going to need a big tow vehicle and a trailer with brakes. If you don't know what kind of trailer you need you may be in over your head. Perhaps a visit to rv.net will shed light on the dangerous task of towing heavy ass things. Look for sections on trailers and fifth wheels. We want you and...
