It will be me and 2 others with minimal gear and possibly a couple bikes to bring along. We would like to be there at the beginning of the event, and leave that saturday. We will help with whatever resources need to be split, including driving. Please let me know if you have room!

Thank you!

Apox, Can you use a non deep-cycle battery if you are trickle charging it each day? I want to run all day on the system with pump and fan, but just fan at night...so I'm only going to run the pump off the solar panel, but I will plan on running the fan off of a battery. Can't think that fan will pu...

besides, i will be making the 5 gallon swamp cooler...

Im actually rethinking my structure. I think I am going to go with the 4 pole shade stucture. I saw someone talking about it on another thread and it seems like that may be the way to go. It's apparently its UV treated and would provide good shade for my tent. Plus, it will frees up finances for a s...

Thanks for the clarification!

Why on the map of the Playa does it mark 'Walk-in Camping' is the section on the right? is that the only place we can camp if we aren't apart of a theme camp? I think this is where a lot of the confusion comes from.

hehe, I know what you mean. I have been slowly buying a little at a time for the past couple months. Makes it easier to justify...

I trim with a beard trimmer. That way, my man hood is like a refreshing Coca-Cola. Refreshing and it tickles your nose with the first sip.

Here is my build list for the swamp cooler in case some of you are wondering: (remember, this is just what IM doing. there is more then one way to build this.) Basic build: 28 in. x 34 in. DuraCool Pad for Evaporative Coolers (im getting this size because I can cut it in half and it will be enough t...

wish i saw these before i bought my WWII era motorcycle goggles...

My fan doesn't say pwm, but has options for a rpm wire... Which I thought what pwm is. So this should work? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9769/ ... d=PiBk5rG8

It does? I didnt think the solar panel was able to produce enough amps to power the pump and fan...

I bought a fan off of frozencpu that puts out 217 cfm. I think the most important is the cfm, not really the brand. Unless it was from somebody who is known to be crap.

Also, how much water should we expect to bring to refill these?

the problem I ran into when thinking about how to build mine was that if you got the solar powered pump from amazon and harbor freight was that the power needed to run the 190+CFM fans were that the solar panel wouldnt produce enough while also running the small pump. those small pumps' solar panel ...

I havent found a thread like this so i thought id start one. I am building the Galaxy Hut and for anyone interested, below i have the description, cost, and place where you can buy the materials. Basic Galaxy Hut: Most materials are from Home Depot. This is mainly because its close to my house and s...

Thanks for the reply. I will have a large vehicle on the windward side, so I think I am leaning more towards this one:

Seems more durable, its thicker, and more budget friendly... What do you think?

I am building a Galaxy Hut as per GalaxyBeing (Thank you for your clear how to!! http://galaxybeing.com/galaxyhut/) and while I'm gathering my materials, I have found that Home Depot does not carry the correct size as stating in the instructions. Wanting to buy everything in store, they do have the ...

Howdy Y'all. Has anyone tried using a plain old "accessory car fan" for this project? it would seem to be a natural fit for a 12v fan that runs off of a cig. lighter plug. Hard to find CFM numbers but i would guess 500-900CFM based on a few similar fans. This could actually be a fun project... I ha...

kgryfon, What im doing is having my pump run off the solar panel (since it came with one) and my fan run off the battery. To charge, I bought this solar panel: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FOEUI0 and having it always keeping the battery charging. This panel is nice because it comes with a ch...

So if I want to run a 190 cfm 12v/15w fan, using 1.25 amps, with the solar powered pump from harbor freight, I need a separate solar panel that will produce enough amps to run the fan as well...

I heard that there was a spring-fed swimming spot around the mountains on the 2 - 3 o'clock side. I heard it was only accessable via a mutent vehicle or a car/truck. Anyone heard of this or has been there?

do you really think that burners who have become poor recently should not be allowed to return? Or first timers that have to scrimp and save every penny to attend should not be allowed to? And to answer your last question, absolutely not. But you can bet your ass those are the people that will do e...

I believe 'poor' is a state of mind, and has nothing to do with money. If you believe you are poor (whatever your definition of 'poor' might be) then you are. Traditionally, 'poor' has a tone of little to no income. However, when you have such a vast amount of people attending the event, traditional...

I think you're on to something here...there should be a means test to even buy tickets. If you don't make at LEAST $250,000.00 you can't even buy a ticket. And if you don't earn over $1,000,000.00 you have to camp in the boonies beyond G and can't even attend the burn, which of course will have res...

Thank you Illy Dilly for understanding where i went with my post. As for Dusthand, the tickets wouldn't be 210 if, like I stated, were a hundred dollars cheaper, hmm. let's see. 210 - 100 = .... Check in with your brain before you criticize. Or go with jkisha's theory and start your own qualificatio...

I for one appreciate the cost of burning man being as high as it is. Think about it, if the tickets were just a hundred bucks cheaper, it would open more doors for the 'less civilized' to enter. And by 'less civilized', I mean people who only care about themselves, and don't participate or enjoy wha...

Ice Ice Baby... na na na na nan ana, na na na na nan ana, Ice Ice baby....

::deleted:: how do you delete for realz?

yes, this virgin WILL be attending this year! Am very stoked to finally make it, and the theme this year is remarkable, given that this is the first time I have been out, on my own, without the military or parents. I joined right out of high school, and was in for 8 years. Rites of Passage is just f...
