Ug. That's what we're worried about. I'd hate for someone to be seriously injured. But at the same time, there are about 10,000 ways to injure yourself out there. I tend to think that if you don't have good enough judgement to stay within your ability out there it's not so much a question of getting...

we're not quite that ambitious, but you can see our design on FB.

Good point. First thought was that a bike trophy ties in nicely to our piece but I can see how this would work. Thanks.

we'd like to have an event out at our bicycle obstacle course and give out some prizes. Anyone have a old bike trophy or 2?

thanks!

Ok, I've revised it again but just slightly. I'm pretty happy, this is going to work great. Last year, for the first time I brought a case of Illy mini cans of cappuccino or something. They were great and easy and I wished I'd done it years earlier. This year I want to do something similar but cheap...

getting into the event once you reach the playa will be the least of your difficulties.

I ride dirt bikes all around N Nevada. I haven't actually ridden the Jungo Road but any road that requires a high clearance 4wd vehicle is going to absolute torture on a recumbent trike. I'd strongly recommend doing a reconnaissance or getting beta from someone who has ridden that.

I look at Burning Man like car camping. Some balance of portability and convenience is likely the best solution for most people. If you are carrying it all in in you backpack and walking to the event, then the smallest, lightest, titanium, nano-tech one with the carbon fiber fork is probably your be...

1st batch tested and approved by 4 campmates. I think we've got a winner. I brewed a 1/2 gallon of very strong coffee using a stovetop espresso maker. It's not really 'true' espresso and doesn't get a proper crema head to it but it's exactly the concentrate I need. I sweetened it and added some vani...

Having your chain run smoothly is a pretty important part of a well-running bicycle. After soaking in a mild solvent like kerosene or WD40 and scrubbing it with a stiff bristle brush, if the chain still doesn't run smoothly get a new one. This year give your bike a proper cleaning when you get back ...

Zed ain't dead, baby.

Stiff art cred there Mr. Jelly. Sparks too. PM me and I'll buy you a beer.

SWM 44 seeks something interesting longtime burner, first time (almost) poster. lost my birginity one night in 2000 and got a proper spanking by a topless beauty for it. That's when the change happened. Missed 2008 when my gf's dad died inconveniently. I love you fucking people. I can't wait to see ...

welcome.
Like Cryptofish, for water I prefer the 2.5gal suitcase ones. Easy to manage, less waste, pack better. Cut the top out of an empty one and you've got a shower with a valve.

+1 on the little cans of Starbucks or Illy. I drink hot capp's every other day of the year but out on the playa, getting up at noon I find the little cans to be very, very convenient. this year we've got more people so I'm playing with pre-making the espresso+sugar, freezing it in 1/2gal milk contai...

Kevin's been there and he's not a troll. These accusations do little to further the discussion. While he's been there, I don't think he fully absorbed the generally perceived ethos of the event. There's nothing wrong with this. It took me a few years to come to my own understanding of what BM is and...

I've got some thoughts on this. First maybe a little bio to establish maybe a shred of credibility. First burn 2000. Been to every one since except for 2008. My girlfriend's dad died inconveniently a couple weeks before the burn so I supported her instead and traveled back east for the funeral. I ga...
