Thanks guys, I got in touch with the "North Texas Burners" via facebook so I'll be meeting with some of them soon to discuss. Bay Bridge Sue responded to my post on the Apokoliptika thread too so I'll be sending her a PM soon also. Since I'm not sure about the camp situation I've decided to just sta...

Thank you! I will send a PM with more details.

All great advice guys. In all likelihood we will be doing it all ourselves at least as far as the camp is concerned. I have read lots on what we would need to bring to survive this thing.

But the community element of the BM experience will be vital for me to do this right. Building a makeshift water recyling shower or a evap p...

Should send accurate GPS data back to the receiver up to around 2 miles, possibly more. Unit will be small (t was designed for downed RC p...

Here is the best option in my opinion because it sends the exact GPS location to you via a radio signal. No need for cellular service. Cheap DIY solution for around 2 miles. Probably further on the playa with no buildings and low interference, a stronger transmitter of the same make would boost rang...

I read through this thread and have spent some time on amazon researching good solutions to this. I'm building a unique method of transport for this August and I would hate to have it ripped off, it would definetly mess up my mojo. I'm modifying a dirtsurfer (this thing: http://www.wingsurfer.co.uk/...
