They are 'similar' to this, with slightly smaller heads.
Lost on burn night, near Playa Info booth and the Luminferous flame in front of center camp.
They will have a hole in the base, with a twine/string loop.

FINAL RESULT! Monkey Hut for a Fly-In Overview: I had to plan for the possibility of two separate huts, because I wasn’t sure of the exact nature/size/orientation of the space someone was saving for us. So, I planned for a 10x13 and a 16x13, which as it turned out, became a single 26x13 hut, coveri...

THANKS! And yes, intuitively, 'just point your shady side a little south of due east' ... At least that's my plan

Why not get two of the HF wrenches, keep the spare one in the box unopened, keep the receipt, and return the boxed tool within the 90 day return policy? Anyone use this? http://www.harborfreight.com/18-volt-14-in-cordless-variable-speed-hex-impact-driver-62421.html and if not, does HF have a cordle...

I think I only used a single guyline at each opening to flatten the MH down a little. It didn't affect its ability to bend back and forth though. I'm not even sure if it was worth the tripping hazard it presented. Using two as in PL_FL's post above would prevent the MH from bending back and forth. ...

I read through the 21 pages and may have missed it but was there a consensus on, when using these lags for guy wires, is it best to us 90 degree, straight, or inline?

I would avoid the 4 way pvc connectors. Just use a 1.25 inch sleeve to connect 2 10 foot, 1 inch pipes to form each rib. I have always run one spine along the top. It's just another section of 1 inch pvc. Two ten foot lengths with a 1 foot section of 1.25 connecting them, just like the ribs. I've u...

I used a spine thats bungied. The ribs have a little pad glued to the middle so to reduce the squeaking as the whole rig moves in the wind. Thats not necessary, just a little thing I dreamed up that probably won't make a difference. The brown duct tape are the stops for the 1 1/4" connecting sleeve...

I don't use sleeves just x connectors. I do duct tape around the X where the rib fits in and use bungee cords along the top of the spine from section to section yes, I have seen one guy do that, basically holding the ribs together at the spine with bungees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmzkOlm11dg

I experimented with the X's and T's in a prototype. Don;t even go there. The lateral stress is way too much and they shattered. Using a multi segment spine is useless because you can't fully seat the cross tubes in the X. If you do a spine just make one out of 10 ft, 1 1/4" pvc lengths with a 24" 1...

http://www.chromatest.net/Lovemonkey/ The biggest problem with your plan is just using X connectors for the spine and ribs. The monkey hut plans very obviously DO NOT DO THIS. They show a secondary sleeve of larger PVC joining the rib pieces together. This is necessary. Do not change the plan. than...

BURNING MAN BEGINNERS GUIDE - THE OBSCURE STUFF #12 Bathing . Unless you have an RV, you can probably forget about having any type of shower you’d recognize as such from the default world. The big problem is capturing and disposing of grey water (runoff from the shower, dish washing, etc). Everyone...

I was asking for opinion and experience. I've looked through dozens of threads here about monkey huts and took what I could use from them. These are the questions I have left after that.

I figure the 'funding' would be transferred to the new buyer.. no less money is raised, but I see your point..

I know she'll be email the ticketing folks, to make sure, but was just querying the assembled wisdom here.

thanks

A relative of mine purchased a DaVinci Ticket last month and now just purchased one regular ticket through STEP. ..But then I read that you can’t purchase a ticket through STEP if you’ve purchased one elsewhere... Is this an issue? Could it cause one of them to be voided? Also, If she wanted to sell...

Question on Monkey Hut construction. I’m a fly-in, so I’ll plan here, drop-ship some materials to Home Depot, and drive in from there. Been to BRC 3 times, but first-time building a hut. I’m planning on a modified lovemonkey hut, 20x20 (12x20 footprint if my math is right), with two tents underneath...

Hi Joe,
Yeah, I did the same... It might be perfect for my situation too.
Cheers!

Thanks fatchicken, yes, I think my friends are trying to upgrade to the 4-bags now... Would have been nice to have those logistics as part of the info up front. The 4-bag option would have been a no-brainer.

And yes trilobite, they've been very helpful with questions.

thanks,

Great idea!!!

I’m trying to sort out conflicting/confusing info about the Burner Express… This isn’t my first visit to BRC. I am driving in with someone but my 3 friends are taking the express in, so I asked lots of questions. The people who answer via email are great, but the site/FAQ/info is not always clear. F...

Thanks Canoe, I've been subscribed to JRS for over a year, and I totally get that it's last year's info but "will be posted in early Feb" doesn't help much, since it's like a month past that :) The express site does say 'check in mid-march' which is coming up, but I was hoping to get the benefit of ...

Thanks trilobyte, But there is this strangely disjointed Q&A on the burner-express FAQ page on burningman site, not sure what to make of it, since the answer doesn't really match the question very well.. http://www.burningman.com/preparation/travel_info/burner_express.html Q. When I make a reservati...

Regarding the burner express... Does anyone know for sure if they require some kind of ticket-confirmation/number when you "book" the seat? I know they need it when you board, of course. The problem is, if you're waiting for STEP or some other program, you'll be S.O.L. when the express starts sellin...

I was a virgin this year and spent WAY too much money on rental car… I really like the Burner Express idea, I’ll use them for sure. My only question is about a bike. I didn’t see any mention on their site or the BM site, but maybe I just missed it. How does a fly-in get a bike? I used Kiwanis Bike t...

Looking for a fellow ‘Ambient Drummer’ -- playa name was “Donut” (Doughnut?). He is a multi-year veteran burner / ambient-drummer, from the San Diego area I believe. I was in his group, supporting the fire dancers named “Fire Muse Circus” just prior to the man-burn. Also looking for another member o...

Ahhh, didn't think of 'lost-human' but that's a good start, thanks!!!

Sorry if I missed the existing feature or section, but a suggestion I’d make is to have (under ‘greeters station’ or ‘lost & found’ ?) a place where people can find each other. For example, I wanted to contact someone who was a fellow Ambient Drummer, playa-name “donut” (“doughnut?”) to give him som...

For me, the pulsing sounded like a great idea, I was not sure about the implementation... It would have been glorious to be able to turn off the car and sleep an hour instead of 5-ish minutes.

Also, another 18k people last-minute didn't help. Where does it end? 100k? 250k? One Mill? Two Mill?

We left at 2am, after temple burn... 6 hours later, just after 8am, we hit the pavement, then got stuck in the Gerlach traffic, so another 2 hours. I don't know about the "pulsing" thing, but the longest I was able to stop and "sleep" was about 10 minutes. Most people I was around were pretty cool a...

Hmm, maybe, but it would have to be a crew-cab... too many people for a regular. Thanks!
