I come from the "Try & Succeed, Try & Fail, just as long as you Try" school of thought. So I say go for it. Failing spectacularly out on playa? Well, that's how legends are made. And yeah, if you're giving away free food and/or free drugs and put it into the book, expect an onslaught of demand. For ...

Wednesday, August 28th, 2019 2PM we all show up to the trash fence with leaf blowers and point them outward at full blast.

I'll bring the two-way radios.

Who can cover the beer?

I issued myself a 2 way radio. And stamped DOUCHEBAG on my forehead.

Volunteer for a ticket. There are many camps and organizations that offer a ticket (for purchase) if you work.

By the time any of us get to Nixon we're going to be surrounded by hundreds or thousands of other vehicles.

Safety in numbers.

To hit gate by 10 - 11 am on Sunday, you'll want to get into line before dawn. There will be plenty of space open between I and L.

Personally, I'd ditch one of those yurts and bring a bike.

Maybe your "friend" doesn't want to go and is using the wife excuse to shut you up.

Multiple Honda 2000's in something like a 6x12 enclosed Uhaul. Probably with a roll up door, but possibly with the barn doors.... Well, first off make sure that all refuels are done with safety in mind especially if you're running more than one at the same time. I'd bring an electric fan for circula...

Not in instead, but both. Now you're talking. A shaded tent, with a fan, and a damp top sheet over you, you will sleep an extra 2 hours. I guarantee it.

Ticket, check.
Getting to the playa and home when leaving?
Shelter?
Food and liquids to sustain life for X days?
Whatever you need to make yourself content?

You're almost there. Just a couple critical items to think thru.

Elliot, you are awesome. I'll make my annual pilgrimage to drop off a six pack of tubes again this year. I had the pleasure of camping next to PBR last year and saw their operations. A line of broken down bikes literally all day long and an amazing crew of mechanics who somehow helped every person i...

Several burns ago, a neighbor showed up at camp across L from us, really late in the weekend. She had attempted Jungo with a camping trailer. She left Reno the same day as me, but spent 4 or 5 days stuck. Multiple tires later she got out. Every cabinet in her trailer was shaken off the walls and in ...

Just off the cuff, the Coleman portable inflatable 4 person hot tub spa model 13804 holds 210 gallons of water. So that's probably in the ballpark of what you're looking at. If you can handle that volume, all the power to you, big ups, and I'm jealous. I definitely see the attraction of a hot soak, ...

Hi Kwansu, We have a mobility taxi camp that provides art tours, bar tours, and connection services for burners with mobility issues. We have a stable of pedicabs with drivers, and bike trailers outfit to carry riders. Our pedicabs include trikes, sidecars, and quadricycles. Nobody runs wheels small...

How much shade can you pack? Throw out enough crap to triple it. Bring at least that much shade.

This isn't a luxury. Out there it is a necessity.

Greetings, KM6MHC here, This year we are placed again at 9:15 and B. We've expanded our UV-5R units to include UV-5R V2 extended, and a Tram 1480 base antenna. We'll have our base dispatch available to a unit at Disability Camp in Center Camp, and in contact with our mobility taxi operators out on t...

love the Costco carports. used them side by side and end to end, either way remember you can double up on the number of burners if you stack them.

Yeah, same here, California and 14 days. No problem reserving online.

Hint - call the actual location after you get online confirmation. Give them a week or so but talk to a person at a desk in an building at that U Haul yard. They'll tell you whats the real deal.

Air

Warm / Hot water. Ask the bike camps how they clean 3K bikes after burn. Hint - they don't use vinegar.

The Bureau of Disinformation provided plenty of free wifi last year. All you needed to do was wrap aluminum foil around your head and climb a 14 foot ladder in order to catch the signal.

yeah 103 seems about right. I would have turned on my AC around 108.

there would have been reports of temp related deaths at 115.

Cot for a single. Air mattress for > 1.

Exqueeze me.......115? Were we at the same burn?

Is this the Champion that runs on dual fuel, and are there similar performance issues / rejetting needed if run on propane?

We went with the black rock 12 X 20 and added another 12 X 20 to it, 8 foot legs. Silver tarps fit with about a 6" gap on all sides. Grommets set every 16 or 18". We added mesh sides set at 45 degrees on 2 sides. Still using the rebar inside the legs, and we added tiedowns at the corners and center ...

Yah mon, google a bunch of shit like "first time burner" and "newbie burning man" and "should I join a camp". You'll get it. Its good that you're here, you got this thing and you've pretty much figured out step 1: this shit costs money, bitches.

Options? Lock it up so it doesn't get stolen. Its common for burners to leave a bike unlocked"just a sec" while they go do whatever. That turns into 2 hours later and they come back to find their bike gone. Its also common for burners to leave a bike (locked/unlocked) and forget where they left it, ...

Why going alone and what's your motivation for joining a camp? Are you looking for a social/community building experience? Or just want all the logistics figured out for you so a camp that provides meals and showers, RV's and segways? There's all flavors of the rainbow out there, no way to do it rig...

Running the 20x24 setup in our camp. We did buy the kit from the outfit in the Bay Area, and it performed to high expectations. Agree on using side panels. Recommend using solar shade cloth instead of tarp for side panels and set it up at an angle. This allows airflow and provides extra space under ...

I got stuck at bottomless mimosas.

Are assless chaps considered bottomless? Or are you looking for pure shirtcockingness?

Mighty fine people out there at the airport, always looking for volunteers to help out. Make the right connections and I'm sure your dream can be a reality some day.

I can forward the Airport Volunteer Coordinator's contact info, PM me.
