I don't see how anything can be non-greasy and still be a conductor and able to be wiped on a wire.
I'd probably us coroseal or another dielectric grease usually found on copper to aluminum connections.

This is an active link to the 60 minutes segment that was taken out by CBS.

Not 3 peak but there is usually a single peak or two at Fly Ranch. Reach out to BigChris or Just Joe.

I wonder how explosive testing would affect Fly? I didn't see any limit on the size of the explosions. How would a drone permit/use at Iverson affect the Special Use Permit? How far could we restrict drones from the Burn? There are definitely privacy issues here, as well as safety issues with our ai...

Confirmation from Eplaya???? It will never happen. We are not official, anyone with any real authority has run away screaming into the night. Seriously though I believe that Lost and Found is so busy trying to catalog and return all the found dusty crap that they do not have time to confirm that you...

There are thousands of items in lost and found, which is operated by volunteers who are just returning from Playa. They are tired, given many hours to BM and need to take care of their own shit as well as do their day job. It will take a lot longer to post all the stuff than you want it to. Take it ...

Best advice I can give is to read Eplaya.
Everything- you have a year to get to know the culture and learn how to handle all the possible problems.

True Captain, but the battery will go dead faster on concrete than on most other things. Batteries work by a chemical reaction, the concrete floor, especially damp, works as a heat sink cooling the battery and slowing the chemical reaction and dropping the voltage. When charge reaches roughly 50% or...

The very best way to test a batter is with a load. I use this tester. https://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-BT-100-Battery-Load-Tester/dp/B000AMBOI0/ref=sr_1_6?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.FYHW5-mp7GmBatbyTIwVWQh2Opb3uyY2_wkQpxliwh8eSj7OAVES4xRIj9cvModtUgDmEimcAZsjaFn50z39hERUvMOUeZn6l9pyHh-POl4ZhR5d1O56sbyL1HPDB5f...

Sounds like you need to replace it and keep it charged in the off season.
An AGM battery and a lead acid are damaged when the charge goes below about 50%.
A lithium can be discharged to about 10% before damage. For long storage leave it charged to about 75-80%.

Browse camps listed here: https://burningman.org/event/2025-camp- ... &yyyy=2025
When communicating with camps say what you can do for them, be as specific as possible.

Good idea for a peri bottle. Thanks.
My most often used tool is a pocket knife. I just changed to a small Buck, 2" blade and no one is threatened by it except TSA.
On Playa I carry a leatherman and have bike tools in camp.

It's not as hard to withstand the heat as everyone exaggerates. A couple of years ago someone died from fumes (carbon monoxide) while sleeping in camp. People do sleep in the morning. This is unusual but... It would be effective to build some shade over your van, a battery operated fan will help, ma...

What sticks out to me is your comment "I’d like to run this bucket rig off a USB power bank for more portable cooling while working round the ranch." USB will not work, low current and 5V is not enough to power a swamp cooler. Specifications Max. Voltage Max. Current USB 2.0 5V 500mA USB 3.0 / USB3....

"No Expectations" Granted that you have read, watched videos and probably talked to others but you do not know anything about Burning Man. You have just been playing telephone. Instead of arriving with a plan on how to use Burning Man for your own ends arrive with an open heart and a willingness to...

Thanks to inimitable Cyndi Vee. This cost breakdown might help you understand ticket prices from the org ticket sale:

These links might give you some information. Torrey Smith did a lot of work regarding pull out of different types of stakes. https://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?f=277&t=68556&p=1149543&hilit=pullout#p1149543 https://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?f=321&t=63195&p=904118&hilit=pullout#p90...

Not a structural engineer...however. I did try to put some angle on it as it went in, as stakes in the ground have more strength sideways. I have to disagree with you on putting an angle on lag bolts. With rebar, yes and angled stake holds best. But the holding power of lags comes from the thread, ...

I went through this 2 years ago, trying to find storage for camp. I called everyone in the Oakland/Berkley area and everyone will accept as much money as you want to give them but NO ONE will guarantee no increase, and they do increase the cost. Looking a little deeper into this most storage places ...

You will have trouble finding a conversion van that is Burning Man friendly. If you do it will come with huge cleaning fees. These vans have so many nooks and crannys to catch the dust that it will be extremely had to clean. Some Burners have rented U hauls or cargo vans, picked them up a day or two...

I'd use a relay rated for 120% of the load and put a resistor and a capacitor across the coil. The size of the resistor and capacitor determines the time the relay was held closed. Multiply the resistor in ohms by the capacitor in farads to get the time constant. Cheap, reliable and you don't have t...

This is different. Any person with even the slightest bit intelligence, will reference and argue with the shooting "incident", if they have a legit claim denied. The front-line insurance company reps will be shamed for doing their employer's unholy dirty work. They will feel more than complicit in ...

Posts on FB say that approval from insurance are, today, sailing right through with almost none being denied.
I wonder when this shooter will achieve DB Cooper status?

Well said SSE.
A lot of the FB comments are knee jerk responses from people who have no idea what is actually going on and why.
The reduction in participants has more to do with the rain and the national economy than anything else.

No where near that much. Last time I went they ask for $20-$25. This goes towards snacks and drinks. You go out and help with improvements from trail building to painting. Good people, all Burners in the old sense.

Why is anyone even thinking about voting for him? Do they think he will magically start telling the truth if he is elected?

His lips are moving.
