Hello burner family!

I just moved back to my home town in Ohio - near the Dayton area. I've joined the Ohio Facebook group in a search for compadres nearby and wanted to check here too! Any burners near the Dayton area? Let's connect!

Has anyone else received any DGS tickets yet?

Last year was my first year - I was flying in and feeling 'fear paralyzed' by the logistics of camping alone, bringing water, no car etc. Luckily, I was invited to join a camp and it was AWESOME and I will be doing it that way every year moving forward. I recently did open camping at a regional whic...

Thank you everyone for your input! I had seen LoveMonkey's design and here is the revised product! hut3.JPG hut4.JPG I think this is much better! Currently the PVC is 1/2" but will be upgraded to 1". To fit my tent inside it we're looking at about 10ft x 20ft footprint. Would you call this average? ...

I hope your dad can handle criticism. (In his mind, he's only trying to make it better.) Oh absolutely, bless his heart. He actually bought me this really nice tent because I wanted to be able to stand in my tent...turns out it's too tall for even a monkey hut...had to sell it and he handled it qui...

I have to ask why it's flat on top! That serves no purpose other than weakening it and making it more complicated. These things have been extensively playa tested and refined, your best bet is to build it the way it's been proven to work. I know, I know... I facepalmed pretty hard at the top when I...

Hello Eplayans! This year I'm hoping to swing a monkey hut for shade for my insane tent. I'm going to be having clients in the tent to I want it to be a comfortable place for them too! Note: I am located carless in Chicago so I'm having to surrender a bit of the control to the hands of my father who...

Damn! So...close but not at all? lol

Thank you everyone for the insight! I recently came into possession of an 85 AH deep cycle battery. I'm going to begin field testing...

It's very tidy and very beautiful - thank you! Now I have tons of pages of new jokes to read through!! Good bye productive work day....

Dear Lonesomebri, Is there any chance we could see a video of you singing "Ave Maria" to one of your foster dogs? Yours in Christ, ~Sav Sooo....where are we with this? *cough* *cough* hehehe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQaEGB9UDM4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjYSLzjuDos That was great Brian...

You do want to bring one outfit sealed in a giant ziplock for the day you leave - nice to have something fresh back in society! This is always good advice. However, there's just something about shuffling into a casino in Reno, strung out and filthy and bleary-eyed, wearing dusty flipflops, cargo sh...

Hello fellow burners! I've been needing an influx of new jokes and you're just the sort of ruffians that can help me out! Let's share! I'll go first. What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground Beef! Hardy har har! Ha! But seriously, lay it on me. Here's another - There is a man who goes to confessi...

Thank you Captain Goddamn it for breaking me out of my fear-paralysis!! What a little gem this thread is :) I have been losing my mind trying to figure out all of this and thinking that I get it but not really for sure and it's been making me fear paralyzed lol I feel much better now, but was still ...

If you're just coming for the week there's no need to wash your clothes. Last year was my first year and I wish I had brought more socks so I could have 2 pairs a day, same amount of undies and less outfits. It was also my first time in the desert so I wasn't sure what to expect. As a result I had a...

Hello camp sister!! Welcome to eplaya

I'm sure you know from poking around, but just in case no one has told you yet - don't be discouraged by snarky burners. Put up your gloves and punch 'em back!

Howdy neighbors.
We've asked for space on 6:00. We were surrounded by great people last year and are expecting more of the same.
Let's hear from you!

Our camp thread is ABC Alphabet Block Camp

Yay 6 o clock sector! It was a great location - hope we're near contra dance again!

I don't think ONE person qualifies as a sub-camp, Omega.

Actually, I recently converted over to this camp.


Sorry you had to find out this way Joe.

I love her.

And I love you so much for this!

First off, I LIVE IN CHICAGO TOO!! I would love love love to meet up! send me a private message and let's get together - I'm in Humboldt park and work in the loop. I will happily chat your ear off (and smoke you up if you're into that) about all the pro tips I wish someone had told me my first time,...

come in on the Burner Express or any other means, and obtain all your supplies while you're there in Reno. Maybe you can even bring your bike, but just don't ride it in. I'd just like to point out that you can bring your bike with you on the burner express - have your cake and eat it too! It is ext...

Love it! Done. You'll have to spin the wheel twice as hard for your cheesy delight!

You could get even more simple and just buy those frozen PB&J sandwiches and grill those up. Mmmmm. I think they're fairly expensive for what they are though. I had thought about this as well! Especially because if the food is prepacked, it doesn't require a permit (would have to confirm that it st...

Take a look at the permit page and the info sheets, if you haven't already-- Just another idea--what about doing it subway-style, where you and your campmates (who are handwashed, gloved, and trained w/ the food permit) build the sandwich down the line, put the sandwich on the grill, and then the p...

You can't have the public digging their grubby little fingers into the various dishes of toppings. You need proper utensils. Plus, once they've touched the bread, it can't go on your grill. The people at Burning Man are some of the kindest, warmest, most giving people there are. They are also monst...

Hello Eplayans! My camp is aiming to get a food permit this year so that we can do a grilled cheese event! nom nom nom! I had an interesting idea that, for more interactiveness of course, guests could go down an 'assembly line' essentially and build their own grilled cheese (types of cheese, bacon b...

You aren't planning to put a monkey hut over a carport, are you? An 8 foot tall tent? No literal carport Bry, but yes, a very tall tent! It's not so much the roof is that tall, but rather that the metal pieces holding the tent are that tall. Thanks everyone for the feedback! Glad to hear that it's ...

Herro fellow eplayans! I'm here today for you to assault my idea into finding loop holes! Do what you do best, and tear it apart! I'm thinking about making a monkey hut for my tent. However, the tent is a bit taller than I've calculated the monkey hut would be at it's tallest point. The tent is abou...

I am super excited about this year's theme! It makes me think of a Circus, freak show, carnival etc. A sexy adult one! ;) I wanted to start an inspiration thread - post an image, link, quote or something that "Carnival of Mirrors" makes you think of. I'm hoping to bring some great costumes this year...

My mom always said, if you can't take the heat....... Snark is being nice. Saying it isn't is just plain mean. Why are all the non-snarky people being so mean? This is why I tell everyone up front to fuck off, because once they become my boss, I won't be allowed to. Pretty impressive Zoom, what is ...
