Great! I was guesstimating about 10 gallons a day. We already haul about 5 x 55 gallon drums in, so another drum is not a huge extra investment. Should I be looking at a more powerful pump too? Or should the wicking effect from the bottom take care of the extra water absorbed/used? I'm going to plan...

Well I knooooow!! I want it to be fun!! Hahaha thanks for your vote of confidence :) The swearing from me was passion, not defeat! Ima go away and come up with a couple of plans...because I'm still keen on souping this baby up if we can....expect a PM or two Figgy ;) Now, carry-on with your nerd tal...

Argh! See, when we started off on this idea, and I started posting in this thread, we didn't have power...then we found out we could use power from the French Quarter...so I mentioned it...although, I'd still prefer if we were self-reliant. To me, it would just feel WRONG to be running an AC unit fr...

By the way, making multiple Box Cooler units may seem like a more reliable course, but we can't really afford it.. and that was the part of the point of trying a swamp cooler in our yurt instead of just forking out a fuckload of cash to a shared refrigerated truck. To be honest, the yurt doesn't HAV...

Upscaling isn't necessarily straightforward. Too fast an airflow and you could end up issues with dwell time through the filter or having to account for reducing velocity through the filter to get even flow across all of the filter, and then you're into baffles and/or velocity reduction before the ...

To scale up your design for their use: It could be problematic to know, and before hitting the playa, when you have or haven't reached a design limit of the air-flow rate vs. filter kept wet. But, you know your existing box design with air coming through a larger area of filter (more usable filter ...

Did some research and found that a simple evaporative fridge can keep your veggies fresh for 20 days!!! Look at salution 1. http://www.provident-living-today.com/Alternative-Refrigeration.html The burlap in the water resivour on top will wick to the top edge, then gravity will continue to pull the ...

Hey D^A, it's me from the Farmer's Market

You don't happen to know much about generators do you?

And Dragonpilot, thanks for the headsup. We <3 juice.

Hey all Our camp owns a generator that mysteriously stopped working at last year's burn and has since been stored at a house in SF waiting for some love and attention. BUT at the moment, our camp doesn't have anyone based in SF to look after the gennie......(the gennie owners moved back to Australia...

Thanks Figgy! Will keep posting our progress here

Nice styyyyle :) SO, my camp plans to cool a 13' 10" diameter by 8' high cardboard yurt...I'm guessing it makes more sense to build a box swampy or a 30gallon trash can version with a nice powerful fan? But we can figure this out...what I do need to know is... Does anyone have any advice re: condens...

More Carrot Camp - Black Rock City Farmer's Market planning to build one of these to use inside a yurt as a cool room to keep our fruit and veg nice a crispy! We can't afford those big and fancy carbon-chewing refrigerated trucks! What an excellent thread. Thanks FJ, we may be back with questions. B...

Black Rock City Farmers' Market camping with the Black Rock French Quarter somewhere near 7.30 and A/B. Can't wait to meet y'all neighbours and give you some juicy chocolate dipped strawbs <3 Mo Dumplings http://www.facebook.com/BRCfarmersMarket http://www.indiegogo.com/blackrockcityfarmersmarket

And look out for us in The French Quarter Village this year!!

Imagine, it's 8am, you're dusty, miles from your camp, parched and hankering for a slice of freshness... juicy watermelon, tangy plums, a crunchy carrot or a sweet cob of corn; where do you turn when your cooler looks like slush and your body is burning for a vitamin hit? The Black Rock City Farmer...

Aah, this sounds ideal. I'm a an Australian, travelling around for the next little while and i'll also be in new york in July .. but, I don't have a license OR a car.... I'm not much good!

Hey there! I'm effectively doing the same thing and was just researching stores and found this place: Eastern Mountain Sports http://www.ems.com/home/index.jsp I'm also wondering weather to buy decent stuff and take it back to Oz, but then I thought about the whole customs thing. I think Australian ...

Around here we call them pork rinds, and they come in lots of flavors. Wal-Mart should have them, as well as any place that sells gasoline (petrol). http://www.utzsnacks.com/products/images/Utz-Pork-Rinds.jpg Heh, pork rinds. I was definitely a trucker in a past life. Not sure about the flavours......

Can you get pork scratchings Stateside? I was thinking they'd make an excellent salty playa snack, but I've really only seen them in small packet Mr. Porky's form behind the bar in every single pub in Britain. Not exactly bacon, but close enough (fried pig fat, oh yes) and not as greasy for carting ...

And Illy... I almost definitely know already I'll be back for more If not just for Burning Man, to see more of this kind of spectacular North American landscape!

Lowz, More Carrot was started a few years back by old friends of mine from Oz ... do you know them?!

As usual, there seem to be a lot of Australians around - we've definitely got the global travel thing down.

Ok, so I got the Barbie Death Camp, what's WB?

So long as it's to and not at

Hello! momodumpling here, momo for short. Or any incantation of 'mo', MoBass, MoFlow, MoBurn - you get it... It'll be my first Burn this year, and I'll be camping with the More Carrot theme camp, we run the Black Rock City Farmer's Market and lead the Countless Carrot march against those pesky natur...
