That’s funny... he’s never charged me for power...

We only met a woman. Not sure who you're referring to.

If it's not too late, reach out to them and contract their services... like a person who knows how to plan their camp's needs...

I've called them twice and been waiting two weeks for a call back to set up a contract.

After a few years of using 3/8x14" I am actually downgrading to 3/8x12" this year so that I can upgrade from shiny zinc to hot dipped and not worry about corrosion as much. I might also get some bigger ones, since I've failed to sell my big makita driver and I want something for it to do if I bring ...

Also the roadside of Esplanade would be full of people's creations. Last I checked, camps with Esplanade placement also "own" the far side of Esplanade. I can't remember how far, maybe 50-100ft? The first year I went to ARTery for on-site art registration they filled me in on those details, and I e...

Yikes! 19 pages of rides offered. 44 pages of rides requested. If they take 2.315 persons each, it'll work out. I'm taking about 15 people, about half of whom came from the rideshare board. Unfortunately I can't post in the ride share forum here :( Ha! Look at it another way; 600+ offers and reques...

The site states: You MUST fill out the art installation questionnaire if you would like to bring an art installation for placement on the open playa. Please read through the following guidelines before registering your project. This questionnaire is only for registering physical art installations t...

And then you’re back to more people who can’t bring their own shit... which leads to more plug and play and more spectators.. maybe these solutions improve traffic but they ruin the event. My rideshares aren't 4 people in a 4-seater car. We bring plenty of infrastructure along with us, 15 people an...

Maybe the folk at brcstorage@burningman.org could help you out. They might have stipulations on how you can (not) decorate it or other stuff like that and need written authorization or something from the Artery, assuming they're willing to do it. The Artery might also be able to get you in contact ...

The obvious challenge would be how to enforce a multitude of HOV lanes with varying levels of occupancy. It would require staffers every few hundred feet for the entire length of gate road I suspect someone else could come up with a better plan, but maybe the HOV lanes follow a different path (like...

Sparr, I love that idea. But what would we do to the offenders? More tickets? That would be sad. Who's going to enforce HOV lane use and keep track of how many people are inside passed out in various corners of the rv or bus? I suspect someone else could come up with a better plan, but maybe the HO...

Art projects start here: https://burningman.org/event/art-performance/playa-art/ I'm sorry you feel that way. Are you under the misapprehension that putting art in deep playa requires coordination with or permission from the Artery? You'll need to coordinate with both the Artery to see if you're ev...

You will need to hire the contractor for transport

I thought this is what the $350 delivery fee was for?

You have a year to figure this out. [...] Ask them in October or November. No matter when I ask questions like this, someone tells me it's the wrong time. July or August? Too close to the event, ask later. September or October? Everyone is decompressing, ask later. November to April? Everyone is ta...

Why Artery? I thought most containers were for placed camps, not art? Wouldn't that be handled by placement or DPW? I didn't mention in my original post because I expected to be accused of whining, but it does stand out to me that none of the pages about the storage container program give any sort o...

Can the container storage program drop a container in deep playa, as part of an art project? Something like the base of the giant victrola, or the saltines box. The FAQ doesn't address this, and I can't find an example of the container placement instructions to see if it would even be possible to in...

I would like to see benefits for carpooling, other than just splitting the cost of a vehicle pass. Maybe specific gate/exodus lanes for vehicles with more passengers in them ("HOV lanes"), with lanes for 3+, 6+, 10+?

You have early arrival passes for friday?

Large portions of the community oppose the idea of putting names on tickets, for various reasons.

would also need passenger endorsement, not all CDL have that

Only if you're required to have a CDL by the feds. OP suggests that the CDL requirement in question here is from their insurance provider, not actually a legal requirement for the drive.

Once it becomes an RV, the CDL requirement should go away.

Every state has different laws about this situation. Chicago to BRC goes through a few with pretty wonky rules, much more complicated than just CA/NV.

My camp has some space to spare in our rideshare. We are leaving Oakland on Saturday morning, with a planned shopping/food stop in Reno in the afternoon, aiming to hit the playa around midnight (so no EA passes). We're leaving playa Monday morning, again with a planned stop in Reno if exodus was lon...

I've got some space for a ride from oakland to brc and back. Message me for details.

1 full heating up on top of the car

This is how I baked the paint off part of my vehicle last year. I strongly recommend against putting a solar shower bag on top of a car.

Scalding hot water needs to be run until it becomes usable. Hence the hot/cold (or hose/bucket) faucet, so it can be mixed for comfort like in a house. they are left on to drain on their own This system won't let a user drain the hot water, even if they leave the faucets on. A user can only use (or...

https://i.imgur.com/gdi3LBt.png The goal here is to provide a shower where a person can bring their own cold water to the shower, as much or little as they want, and immediately get access to that same amount of solar heated water, without needing any fuel or power. There are plenty of other option...

Having just scheduled a labrum tear repair for early July, I feel your pain with regard to being only partially recovered in time for the burn this year. Good luck, whatever you decide.

Last year I saw some solar powered lamps that were shaped like a flattened donut with solar panels on top and lights on the bottom and a hole through the middle. I don't actually need the hole, although it was nice. What I need is the top/bottom arrangement. I've failed to find any online with searc...

The size matters much less than the type of structure. There are so many different things you can build out of conduit. geodesic dome? carport style structure? flat-top grid-of-conduit-squares? tipis? There's no single answer to what size of conduit you need for every possible use, and there never w...

Great deal and great folks. Have enjoyed meeting a few of you in previous years!
