Some friends and I started a little camp a few years back.

It's a rabbit hole.

Do you go in? The choice is yours.

FYI, you can't go back out, only through.

The Welder Girl is an awesome artist who welds suspended air plant holders for indoor hanging. She also supplies the plants themselves.

They're reasonably priced and really cute. The picture is the one I bought and hung at work.

You should probably do it

How do folks feel about keeping to the BRC speed limit of 5 mph? Or are motorized personal conveyances exempt from this?

It's a good question. I typically operate my bicycle between 10 and 20 mph when I actually get on the damn thing. Is that also bad?

torrey.smith (or anyone), Do you wear safety gear out there? Just curious. I broke my wrist riding a Onewheel, I don't go near the thing without wrist protectors on. If I am riding anywhere near max speed, then absolutely, as sudden nosedives are just killer bastards. With that said, I have owned a...

Hi all..I know this is an old thread but I just went to my first Burn this year (2018) and it was awesome! Just wondered what you did if anything to prevent it being taken (as many bikes are taken there if you don't lock them up when parking to go off dancing etc) and how you did with the range and...

East Bay Burners is hosting a free social tonight at Classic Cars West in Oakland.

I might go out dancing after that. There's an Electro Swing & Funk Dance event in SF that looks fun and a lot of my favorite people are attending.

Sextant has a burner who lives in Singapore. PM me and I can hook you up. He's awesome!

2018, or "I, Asphalt" I was honored to be invited out early for the Galaxia build, and it was there that we started to realize that pilot holes were going to be almost universally necessary for the big PE-46 penetrators (of which Galaxia used 100!). This was an extremely humbling year for me, as th...

Loved it!

Thank you Mark Day!!

Damn! I'm an Aerospace Engineer but Sextant has me!!!

This is a 30 second clip of our first test! We love the new sound, but it's super quiet even putting 20,000 watts into it :shock: If you crank the volume you can hear the music pretty well but the hum of the generator is definitely interfering. We have a few knobs to twist; we're gonna bring this ou...

Definitely go to the BM DMV guidelines ASAP.

Tracked vehicles are non-trivial on their end.

I'm just 7 jumps into AFF and hoping to jump with Burning Sky, possibly in 2019.

The irreverent impetuous indolence shown above is not representative of all skydivers!!!

A vibrating high power penetrative act with much rejoicing and satisfaction!

I've ordered from the Fastener Superstore for years, but thru amazon as the shipping is cheaper. Search " 3/8 X 14 Lag Screws / Hex Head / Steel / Zinc / 50 Pc. Carton " I just ordered two cartons for Sextant. thanks for the prompt! We've added a handful of Costco 10x20's and people tend to come as...

Are 2-3 12" 3/8 lags at the feet of each pole on a 10x20 EMT shade structure with 2 16" 1/2" lags connected to the top corners connected by ratchet straps going to be enough to keep it from flying away? Sextant had a lot of success with one or two 3/8" lags in the base last year. I think ours were ...

It varies of course. Typically between 4 and 6 ft before the chocolate pudding starts. When we do anchor pull tests we get a good read on it by seeing what comes up with the anchor. https://youtu.be/p_bHbuLeDE4 https://youtu.be/eGlyBvB4F7U Here you can see a combination of damp Playa and too-tight t...

Sushimi's all you can eat sushi (formerly known as Hiroba). We gorge ourselves every time we pass through (BM, Juplaya, etc.) and this is a must do.

We offer zip at Sextant too.

Omg, I just check out your website. You guys are fucking nuts and I love it! I really hope a few of your ideas come to fruition.

We have a little fun.

We offer zip at Sextant too.

I use a 12,000 BTU AC for my Shift Pod.

We also make a buried power grid with a central whisperwatt diesel generator and spider box distro.

Sextant is excited to be working on a new kind of sound with our big coil! The basic idea is using a new ultra high speed solid state switching circuit to be able to overlay lots of tiny sparks in an attempt to construct a complex sound with a sweetness to it. So, like, human voice and stuff :mrgree...

JMS, Joining a camp is NOT EASY. This is not some resort where you just show up and sign in. I know I’m going to sound harsh, but you are in over your head (based on all of your posts). You have no clue where you are going and what you have signed up for. Fly yourself out to the US. Rent a car. Fig...

Sextant is looking for people with interest in sound. We're on the verge of a breakthrough into making high fidelity sound with our giant Tesla Coil. It's currently limited to a very harsh MIDI sound, bit what comes next could be very fun with the right team. A fair number of us have been to Afrikab...

You bet Sarge!
Do you know where you will be this year?

Sextant is at 7:15 & Esplanade!!!

I told a lot of people about Trevor at Freezer Burn <3

Come by Sextant for your usual harness wrangling up the Tower!

KS4RGE here. We went Ham last year to great effect. Sextant does study sessions and carpools to test locations so we can get a contingent of legal Hams in camp to run the radios between the Tower, vünderbar, zipline LZ, mobile leads, and camp command. The 888s is a remarkable option because I can pu...
