Re: Need help! Playa staples from Iron Monkeys sufficient?
That's 2 confirmations playa staples are great for hexayurts!!! Doesn't look like they will work for the carport however. Looks like I'll use rebar
how do you bend rebar? I'd like to candy cane some myself.

Hexayurt question: reflecting the sun on campmates?
Hello all. I just finessed taping all the areas I needed to tape before I start working on hinges. I have the panels sitting against the fence....and I've noticed how bright these things get!!! I'm wondering how awful is it to have a yurt in camp? Is it a solar death ray during the day? Just curious.

Re: Where to buy hexayurt panels? Can't find in town. Online
Yup, appears there is none to be had in Vegas.
What's the alternative? They have a all blue type insulation, I forget what it's called at lowes. That stuff work as well as RMax stuff? Is that foil side really that helpful? I'd assume it was......

Re: Where to buy hexayurt panels? Can't find in town. Online
My high tech friend confirms it's not coming up. I went down to home depot and they had zero rigid insulation. And lowes could order what I needed in bulk order only. I keep striking out. I'll try talking to home depot customer service.....sigh.

Newb question: Ultimate backpack/bag? Fanny pack? Need input
Hello. Almost out of questions......got a lot done already. But I got one that I find myself thinking about a lot. What's playa proven to be nice and comfy to wear backpack/bag wise? I'm sure things change with outfits, and lengths of playa adventures ect. Normal backpacks? How about messanger bags?...

How many large items have u seen flying in the air at BM?
Hello. Newb Q! I'm just so curious I have to ask.
Have you seen, or how many items have you seen flying in the air at BM?
Tents? Tarps? Carports!!???
Is this common? Perhaps this question belongs elsewhere..... I'm so curious I thought I'd ask.
