Hi. I am yet to start creating my outfits, but have bought some awesome faux fur to add to a few items, and the girl at the shop suggested that I just use fabric adhesive/glue rather than try and sew it on. Is this an option, or is it unlikely to hold? I'm thinking I glue the majority of it and just...

I agree... The USB charged unit looks great. Thanks for the suggestion and I will keep an eye out for that style if purchasing any more. My idea is to attach 4 x 1m pieces to a single inverter via a splitter cable. I will give it a test run at home prior to going. Sure my kids will be keen to have a...

Evening everyone! I am hoping someone might be able to give me an idea of EL wire lifetime.... I am making a plaited style necklace with 4 x 1m strands of EL wire. I have purchased one 4-way splitter and will attach it to a single inverter (2 x AA batteries). Any idea on the approximate lifetime of ...

Reckon I will have the music and more music and dance til I hurt down pat. I see so many great photos from each years' burns that I will definitely focus on living in the moment and seeing what I missed out on later. Oh- and I have started creating my outfits.... It's all getting real, and very exci...

Do you have an iDevice? iBurn. ;) And HAM radio. Hey Digital- thanks- I just checked out iBurn- looks pretty cool- I like the idea of being able to check out the different camps that are around the playa, even if I know I wont make it to most of them.... Do you know when the app updates to this yea...

I figured as much. I don't use my phone at the best of times, so wasn't really planning to, but thought it might be used to let people know about certain events that were coming up around the playa, finding people that have gone AWOL etc!

Hi all. I recently read about the Firechat App and that it was developed for events such as Burning Man as a method of keeping in contact in areas where you have no phone reception. Personally I am looking forward to being "off the grid" for the duration of my stay on the playa, however I am wonderi...

I always recommend costumes, though there are plenty of burners rocking camping clothes - whatever keeps your body at the right temperature for survival, layers for sure. But for participants flying in, there are a small number of costume camps. The Black Rock Boutique is in Center Camp, and they m...

Not too worry! Thanks for the thought anyway! I'm sure I'll find a great pair (preferably second hand) somewhere along my journey over there....

I'm a girl's size 10.... you know what they say about big feet...... need big shoes to put them in!

Thanks for all the advice. The question was a little left of centre as I had not really planned to wear them whilst at BM, but more so jump at the chance to pick up a pair since I was visiting your fair shores! I have read the various footwear posts through this forum in terms of shoes to wear whils...

Hi! Flying across from Australia for BM 2015 and wanting to buy a pair of 2nd hand cowboy boots somewhere along the way. Will be flying in to LA and probably driving from there across to Reno. Can anyone recommend any good 2nd hand cowboy boot shops in either of those towns, or somewhere along that ...

I figure that's what is unique about BM and one of the reasons why everyone comes away from the same event with different experiences, and stories to tell for a lifetime, no doubt. I figure that participation is not to do with the amount of time that you have there, but how you choose to spend it, k...

Thanks Elliot! Great to know for wardrobe preparation!

Thanks for your replies! I will take on the volunteer info and be sure to check out lamplighters when I get there..... If I can convince my cousin to go for longer, I will- I certainly want to be there for the "full" experience. If we are lucky enough to secure the other tickets through STEP etc, th...

Greetings fellow Burners! My name is Vanessa and I'll be flying over from Melbourne, Aus to experience my first Burning Man this year. The original plan was for 6 of us to be going, but at this stage we only have 2 tickets at a vehicle pass, so it's looking like my cousin/best mate and I will be lea...
