New Home found for the skelton of DeVoted
Good luck Foster!
Joe

I have run out of room and find that the steel skeleton of "Devoted" - an art install that was on play in 2017. The build featured a central load bearing mast that was 25 feet tall in total. The mast features a tilt-up base and a spider at 9'. It would make a great center mast for a shade structure,...

For those of you trying to sew multiple layers of nylon or connecting webbing to tents, I have found a very good alternative to the trusty SpeedySticher hand sewing awl... The machine is called a "Chinese Cobbler Leather Patching Machine" The machine is made in China, reminiscent of 1980 Chinese imp...

UHT Pasteurized milk doesn't require refrigeration till it is opened. It is sold widely around the world, and has the advantage that it does not require a cold chain.

Most online stores carry it for more than $3 / quart.

It is $1/quart at Dollar Tree.

See you on playa!

Thank you

I am considering using conventional shade cloth (5.8 oz/sq yd, uv blocking, typically used as roof for shade) as a wall for an EMT shade structure. Of course, the walls need to do two jobs: Block the direct sun (for shade in the morning and evening) and in high winds, afford some wind protection and...

Do you have any experience camping? Will you be renting a car? Will you be driving like you are still in India? Get the survival guide and read it, then make a shopping list of the items that you cannot bring with you from India and that you will need to get in the US. You are going to need to have ...

I had a project that required I mount three digital cameras with overlapping views to generate an offline panoramic image. The cameras were mounted on top of a vehicle, and every tenth of a mile a picture was taken of the Mount Lemmon highway. It was the first year of the Mount Lemmon Marathon and I...

If I bring a robot vacuum cleaner, is it OK to dump the dust outside the tent or is it moop?

I put some electrical tape over the ports and buttons. The buttons still worked but it closed off the gaps.

Funny, we are doing something similar, but instead of Letters from the Past, we think of it as Letters to the Future! We are taking a different approach, creating an art installation called "Devoted" where a participant can send an email to their future selves, after interacting with other burners....

Thank you both. Ratty, I'm glad you got a chuckle out of it. Come visit us on playa! Eldergeekaz, the test that your link points evaluates the commerical anchors that Art Support Services can drive on playa. It would be great to know what a similar test would do with the lag bolts. Thanks for diggin...

New Questions - Retention Force of Lag Bolts Has anyone put lag bolts into a design that was approved by Art Support Services (ASS)? I need to put some structural calcs together as part of my art installation design (it is over 8' tall) and need to plug in a number. I checked with Figgie and he had...

I went to the above link and did not initially see the link on the far upper right for "Unlucky Burners"...

Hi Eddaytona! Thank you for the kind words. Yes, the burp at shutdown is a tradeoff - if it doesn't do the forced shutdown thing (that generates the error message) I cannot be CERTAIN that the GPS receiver is turned off. On the playa, it is really important to conserve battery life, since for so man...

Thank you all. I spoke with an interpretive Ranger in Winnemucca who said "Yep, its in the pamphlet" - then offered to mail me one!
thanks for the tip.

HI All, Sometime in the past, I have seen a panorama that shows the mountains that surround Black Rock City, and gives their names and the general direction (ie, north, south) that they lie with respect to the man. I cannot find it, and would like to work up an art piece that incorporates the skylin...

PS - the version on Google Play is a beta (2016.0.6) The hiccups at start and stop of the app are being resolved, and an update will be pushed prior to the event. Any feedback would be appreciated, especially with respect to readability in bright light with your device, and use of the compass for ba...

We (HopperCodes) have written an app (android) that serves as a GPS for the Playa. It is currently beta, but appears ready for early release - and we would appreciate it some of you fine folks would give it a go and report bugs if present. (send bug reports to hoppercodes@gmail.com) https://play.goo...

Found at Espresso machine BLD D / 5:45 men's fob watch. Nothing too fancy, no brand.

Howdy,
A dataset has been released with the golden spike latitude and longitude for 2015 (40.7864, -119.2065) along with the latitudes and longitudes for the 5 fence points.

horse at night.JPG I was peripherally involved with a mobile pizza kitchen. The year was 2011, the year of the Trojan Horse. A horse was pulling a chariot, the chariot was the mobile serving station, the horse was, well, a horse with a pizza oven built into the ass end. It was very cool. As the hor...

Hi EspressoDude, Thanks for all the shots through the years! Love the Hellfire website. Thanks. Yes, if you tap the bottom button on the display you toggle from angles in degrees from 12:00 to clock hours. If you are in the general camping area it figures out what your radial distance is from the ma...

Hi Nipple, The source is in Processing, a Java development environment, that has not been ported to iOS. If someone wants to fork it over to iOS, the source is on github. I will be working on storing locations and notes in the next two weeks. Two reaons - one, would like to make notes about things i...

Hi- If anyone is going to be on Playa and would be willing to take their Android phone along, I would appreciate your giving the Android App I have posted on Google Play a try. It is a free, open source app called PlayaCompass, and is preloaded with this year's golden spike location and the coordina...

For the GPS freaks in the crowd, the golden spike coordinates were published today in innovate.burningman.com:

Latitude 40.78880, Longitude -119.20315

It is great to see this information published so early - thanks!

Yep, that and "Must Use Visa or MasterCard" even though the visa logo is lighting up. Exceeding maximum, cart says 2 tickets (one ticket and one vehicle pass). Tried two different cards so I can only conclude buggy code turned loose. woohoo!

There is a trend here. I find canned foods to be the most underrated value out there.
As they are all precooked you can eat them right out of the can. Don't forget a GOOD can opener.

I predict MOOP of epic proportions. While all that grass shit may break down where there is humidity and bugs, it is going to blow everywhere and stay forever. Like this theme- it blows and won't go away.
