Re: Shave your balls NOW !!
I'm all waxed up now. Red and bumpy, but that should calm down before I hit playa.

The best pen
I am still looking for my holy grail of pens. I like to journal at burning man, and I am unsatisfied with the performance of the ballpoint pens I've brought in the past as they get clogged with playa and stop working a few days in. Sharpies and pencils work fine and those are my backups, but I prefe...

I'll make it a point to stop by the Alternative Energy Zone then. I keep wanting to make a start in solar cooking but overwhelmed by all the info out there and don't know where to begin. Thanks for the heads up!

Get some 1" EMT to slide over those legs.
Cut them the length you like for the height you like.
This is what we do. It works well.

Pasta
Thought I'd share a pasta cooking method that works very well for me on playa, requires no refrigeration and produces no grey water. This makes a small batch - best for yourself and a few friends, not a camp of 50 people. https://www.budgetbytes.com/2013/05/italian-wonderpot/ I adjust the basic reci...

Re: Good Advice for Virgin Burners

I like to include little drawings and cartoons as well along with any stickers that I am gifted. I write down my experience day to day and note things I want to remember for next time. Choose a ni...

Silicone adhesive
Any experience with how silicone adhesive holds up out there for affixing small objects to bigger objects? Specifically bikes? I have been using it in my garden to anchor trellises and it seems to hold up to the elements extremely well, but I have visions of ornamentation sliding off my bike and bec...

Re: Favorite recipes - easy food
Shelf-stable milk (in the individual tetra-packs) and granola is decent for a quick meal. I love to make veggie chili near the end of the week, depending on how many people you are feeding - dump cans of beans, corn, mushrooms, tomatoes into a pot, add chili powder, a chopped onion or garlic or pepp...

Re: I had a vivid Burning Man dream last night.
I had an interesting Burning Man dream last night. Toilet paper was completely banned - even 1-ply. I was lecturing a burgin, expounding on the (in the dream, completely valid) method of toilet approach in order to achieve a clean poop. I think it had something to do with that Squatty Potty ad that ...

Re: Capes and Cloaks
I have a cloak make out of polar fleece that is one of my favourite night-time accessories. Keeps the heat in really nicely and can be used as a blanket.
I was thinking of making a daytime one as well, but I was considering a light silk. I'd be interested to know how the metallic fabric works.

Re: An experience with these style stakes?
I've attempted to use this style of stake - it did not go well. The blade part on the bottom just made a hole that filled with loose playa and made the stake very wobbly and unstable. If you do try them I'd bring some extra rebar as backup.

Counterpoint: For those of us for whom public nudity is not something we're either familiar or super comfortable with, the enclosed nature of it can be comforting.

I chose "tahiti treat" for my screen name because it was a soft drink I really liked growing up that you can't get anymore.
