The Thunder Dome has dozens of people climbing all over their dome. Wonder what they use? I believe that http://pacificdomes.com/ build Death Guilds dome. They are using 3/4 inch EMT I believe, and I am unsure on washer or bolt specs. This was a purchased package, not something that they built them...

We are in Alberta and are having a very hard time finding some stuff here. ITs brutal to be honest. YSBW does not ship to Canada, while their prices are low, once you factor in shipping to a buddy then shipping up and possible duties your hozzed. Creative Shelters does ship to Canada, but their pric...

We are going with an EMT structure, molded after GreyCyote and Foosa's deisgns, after doing much much research. The idea is to do a 30x20 1inch structure, using 14 inch lag bolts on footsies and the x method using ratchet straps. We are going to try and do a few sides as well. There are some other c...

Well we finally got around to getting a press. Having a hell of a time finding a hydraulic\pneumatic one in town. Will have to order a good one. I fully expect this one to fail, due to its leaking. Were using 9.5 tons of pressure maximum. The die fits in it very nicely, and as long as the steel is w...

Where are you flying in from? Would save you a whack of cash if you can get in on one of the caravans\group drives. There are already about 6 caravan plans that we know of, 1 from BC, 4 from Alberta (there are 50++ burners here with tickets so far), 2 from Ontario\Quebec. Face book groups are your f...

http://blog.burningman.com/2015/02/news/gah-vehicle-passes-sold-out-before-tickets-did/ Love this on the main page. So what about the rumors of people sneaking to the front of the line? Unfortunately there is some truth to this. Approximately 200 people created a technical ‘backdoor’ to the sale an...

This is what I get when I click on my presales link. This is to the comment that there were vehicle passes left in the pre-sales queue.
So unless there is another way to get in.

Let me post a screenshot give me a second.

Vehicle passes have sold out. For ticket support questions CONTACT THE TICKET TEAM using ticketsupport@burningman.com Not if you still have the pre-sale link and code. Vehicle passes still available there. Would love to help some fellow burners out. I still have my presales link and it does not wor...

so what are we talking here 40k tickets in what 20 minutes?

Thank you for your opinions they are all duly noted. I guess I never thought about it the way some of you have clued me into, I appreciate that, thank you. Especially the taking the time to make it happen, taking the time off work to be there on time, to be prepared to sit there and click click clic...

It isn't abusing the system at all. Though in my personal opinion when someone buys the presale to hedge ther bets (where they buy the presale, and then try to sell that presale on at full face value once they've secured cheaper tickets at a later date) is an incredibly jerk-tastic thing to do. All...

You guys make valid points, thank you for your honesty. T here is a fairly large burner community here in Alberta and we are looking at 3 different camps. 2 international and one local. We have offered these tickets to said camps we are looking at encase one of their regular burners does not get in ...

If you requested will call or were forced to use will call because of the country you are in, then they have a name attached to them for pick-up. If you are having them mailed to you then they are just tickets. No name on them. Yup just mailed, were in Canada. So sale of my presale tickets to anyon...

So we have purchased presales tickets because we want to go. While these tickets are expensive that is OK, but obviously it would be nicer if they were cheaper hehe. Our plan is to purchase tickets in the regular sale too, if this goes sideways we still have presales to rely upon. My question here i...

hahah they are up to 3 grand too, I hope bmorg kills that set of tickets.

I am unsure if the carabiner weight capacity will meet your requirements though, for the 70mph winds. When in doubt, over engineer it. Most climbing-rated (UIAA) carabiners are rated to 22-25 kN along their major access, or about 5000 lb, which will be plenty for almost any application. If you sear...

With mule tape its very strong, and should handle the wind with no issue, even in a bouncing situation. I have pulled some serious cable with that stuff. The 2500 stuff is great, but you can also get it higher rated, the cost goes up as the rating goes up, if you go on ebay you will find tons of it,...

Jesus Harvey Fucking Christ. 10 pages isn't that long to skim through to find your answers to the questions that were answered 5 fucking pages ago. If you people would do just that, instead of rehashing this shit over and over there won't be 20+ pages to skim through when next years assholes want u...

You did not say what your application of the wire was for. But this might work for you.

Try looking at mule tape, it comes in several strengths, is cheep too.

I'm looking to use lag screws this year to secure a 20' tall structure. I'm concerned that a single 1/2" x 18" screw might not be sufficient for the wind loading so I'd like to somehow use several screws on each guy line (3" ratchet straps with a breaking strain of 5400lbs). Anyone have any good su...

would it be a total fucking disaster if i used 12" bolts? i've got a 12x12 shade structure and i'm planning to put 2 at each corner (plus 4 - 8 regular tent stakes at the base of my structure that go through loops in the canopy cover.) i can hardly justify spending $50 - $80 on 8 14" bolts, let alo...

We got our footsies, tarps and balls from here http://www.ysbw.com/ We like this one because they have a lot of parts and you can design your own shade structure and not have to use a standard square if you dont want to. Our one inch emt is cheep 7 bucks a pole. If you can find a local electrical co...

Alright well once again ticketfly seems to be dropping the ball, for me anyway. Tried with 4 different credit cards, none worked. Called my bank and apparently they have approved the transaction all 6 times I tried it, so I don't know wtf is going on. perhaps your in the loop for a whack tickets he...

I was like NOOOO it cant be! but here i am, just waiting beside my mailbox now for tickets in my paw!

I refreshed about 30 times and it lit up, got it all sorted out and paid.

NO like it says none available. I can get vehicle passes though

SO there is no tickets left 3 minutes into the sale?

Wholly jeepers!

Lots of good advice here, thank you very much everyone.

its too late, i purchased them all!
