Hi,

Last time we went our shower evap sucked. I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to set up a simple shower evap for a shower for 4-5 people.

Not looking for anything fancy just something that works well and is easy setup and tear down if possible.

For night, you can buy thrift coats and easily hand stitch or safety pin faux fur or whatever exotic fabric to. Another idea is to collaborate with local people you might meet in the BM community who have fabric and fashion ideas/crafty skills. i'll have to start hunting through the thrift stores. ...

thanks =)

My favorite night time cold wear is lounge / pajama pants made from fleece. if it gets really cold I wear long johns under them. the missus tends to get cold easily. We've been wrapped up in two layers of long johns and she was still cold. Wondering if fleece would be warm enough? Any suggestions f...

I was thinking of making my own cold wear for the nights. I was wondering if anyone else has made night clothing and can point me towards tips, resources, advice on this. I am new to sewing and this may be an overly ambitious project. But, since I am on a really tight budget this year I was thinking...

thank you =)

I have recently moved but my 24x20 playa shade structure is still down in SF. I am looking for any camps that might have room to transport the structure to the burn. Here is what needs to be transported (24x20): http://wpstore.formandreform.com/kit-info/ Contact me if you have space to see if we can...

It was cold as hell the last three nights in 2015. Make sure your playa coat is fierce.

I heard about the cold. Since i am not running a camp this year i can focus on getting stuff for myself =)

Very excited to be coming back. Thanks =)

This will be my fifth year. Missed last year but glad to be returning.

Going to try again this year. Tried the last two and missed it both times.

I like the theme this year. PLenty fo cool and freaky shit can be done with it. I sense an overwhelming amount of clowns this year.

TPBM would rather have modern minimalist.

I do love simplicity but would take wood and other natural building materials over steel and glass.

TPBM has a dream of owning a pet rescue farm.

Hi. Please help us. The genny we were going to use burnt out. A fellow campmate of ours has a 6k genny in los angeles but we are currently based out of Montana. Is there anyone in Los Angeles going to the burn who has a trailer or space for transport our genny? link for genny specs: http://www.world...

Thank you for all who inquired. Our camp is currently full now.

Hi all - I wanted to give an update on the white football mesh so you can avoid the shit that i am still trying to unravel. Basically this is a warning to anyone to stay awar from NICK OF TIME Textiles because they are kind of incompetent and a bit sleazy. I purchased 2 yards from Nick of Time Fabri...

just ordered 120 yards of this:

https://www.nickoftime.net/p-1917-white ... abric.aspx

to cover our dome. So if you are interested in seeing how well it works stop by Modge Podge camp at 9 & F this year.

Hi we are Modge Podge. We are based out of Los Angeles & Oakland. This year we are at 9:00 and F. We will have a 21' diameter 13' tall interactive light and sound dome called the musical oasis. Inside the dome participants will be able to make there own electronic music via our 4 panels on the walls...

Modge Podge camp will be on 9:00 and F Mon-Sat (sunset-sunrise) we will have THE MUSICAL OASIS. This is a fully interactive light and sound dome. Participants can come in and create there own electronic music through 1 of the 4 pads on the wall. The inside of the dome struts will be covered in LEDs ...

Hi, One of the routes our group is considering right now is not having a single cover for the dome instead creating triangles which would fit onto the bolts at each hub and overlap each other. So for our pros and cons are as such: Pro: -look cool -easy to switch out panels if damaged -easy to create...

Another fabric to consider is Dacron (polyester). It is used for sailcloth. It is what SS uses for dome covers. Comes in colors and is fairly rain repellent, making for multi season use, some versions are UV resistant for many year use. @greycoyote, I like the zipper idea! What gauge zipper, how lo...

FIGJAM: SOunds like a good idea to me. Couple questions so i understand better. How long are the lag bolts? Are you screwing thing directly into the playa and they are holding? Is the rope attached to the lag bolts and stretched between? Do you put this sloped tarp on all three sides or only the win...

What do you think of using tarps nailed into the ground with 2x4's angled up to the height of the shade structure. Basically what I see in the picture above but on all 3 sides?

My gf actually cam up with the idea. We weren't going to be able to weatherproof the canvas anyway so the rain was something that we were going to have to deal with no matter what fabric. We were also thinking of maybe putting a couple rings of tyvek in between the jersey and the structure. This wou...

While I was looking into canvas I came across the idea of football mesh and was wondering if anyone had ever used it or what your thoughts might be on it? https://www.nickoftime.net/p-1917-white-football-mesh-knit-fabric.aspx I know that it won't be weatherproof and the holes will allow dusty in. Bu...

GreyCoyote Thanks for the info. I put in a call to BigDuck and we'll see how it goes. Also, thank you for setting me straight on what the normal costs should be because I was going a little insane. Its hard to judge if something is a good deal or not when you have no frame of reference. I am using t...

So first thanks for all of the help so far on this. Really trying to keep the price down but everywhere I look it seems I will be spending at least 1000$ on any fabric i buy. Does this sound reasonable? Looked into Tyvek and it looks like a great deal and might work but ours is a sound project and I...

Modge Podge Camp Love the 9:00 side and hoping to be on it again this year. We will have a large interactive light and sound dome called the Musical Oasis. The interior of the dome will have a cieling of RBG LEDs and there will be four panels along the side of the dome where participants can push bu...

But your best bet would be to create say two walls that you can easily move around. That way you can adjust as the day progresses or you may find some convenient RV neighbors who shade you or provide wind breaks. How did you create walls you could move easily? I was going to use shade cloth and aff...
