Monday morning is pretty much like the first 15 seconds of this video, but over and over and over......

Not sure why it won't let me edit the post.. but anyway..

Typo Not 7 ft height by 32 ft wide cage it's 7 ft high by 22 ft

Depending on my budget coming up closer to the burn, Aluminet looks to be the way to go. So most likely I'll end up going with cheaper shade clothes. :roll: this is so true. Trilobyte.. I couldn't look past the pizza! is that Pizza on the playa? good god.. that would be amazing.. but back on topic....

Hey Capt.. Well it will be a rental and the small ones i'm looking at don't have a hitch.. "sucks" but the price for the bigger one and gas would just be too excessive. It will be a Jeep renegade. I plan on when I get all my gear to rent it for the weekend and do a test run with all the gear local a...

I can't bring myself to make an educated choice here. Looks away.

Well... But remember this? Around 2:55 and 3:16 is my favorite part.

I’m now 100% aluminet, because it is by far the most practical solution to shade and I have more money than I did when I first started going to BM. Thanks for taking the time for some great info. Man that camo does look cool. Def adds character to the camp which was one of the things I was worried ...

Great thread and thanks for all the comments. I'm pretty much in the same boat as OP. While I haven't tested the tent in playa conditions yet, Rez I can say you settled on a damn fine tent. I've used it twice so far and can see it lasting a lifetime. I initially was going to go for a Hexayurt, but ...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to help. It was very helpful, some great info and answered all of my concerns to go forward with.

I'll be hitting the stores and online next weekend.

*Disappointing*

I agree 100% Easy way I look at the broken health care system is. Keeping a Healthy American working and paying taxes vs Not Keeping a Healthy American working and paying taxes. With our Government Looking at the later as it's best choice tells you what kind of money they are making off of health ca...

Ha.. Ok.. It has been a long ride. But I'm happy to finaly produce a Working!!! Rez_arator. All you have to do is plug this thing into any outlet and you will have free power for hours!! or as long as you can wait without refreshing.

Sounds simpler then Captain GD's making toast using a bike suggestion.

I think I remember I started reading about this somewhere, but then there was a gotcha ad about Britney spears panty malfunction or something and I probably clicked on it.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's annual projections, the United States will enter 2015 with 320,090,857 people And out of 320,090,857 people These are the 4 we get to pick from? That is whats wrong with the system. I'm a registered Republican. But I gotta say.. out of the 4, Bernie sucks less. ...

Reading this thread reminds me of myself and my first burn. ---------------- Some have argued on this forum that black Aluminet is possibly hotter due to heat absorption than is silver Aluminet. Some have argued on this forum that there is a possible temperature difference between 80% vs. 90%. I do...

This is the same stuff. I went out and took a pic where the awning ,shade, and the shadows they produce can be seen, but now my battery has to recharge before I can post. :lol: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11227200&KPID=9583931&pla=pla_9583931 That is freakin Great.. Hell ...

Great call .. I was just posting it on CL

TPBM has to come pick up Wilma. She is kinda pissed I'm selling her dishwasher on CL

I got some durable cheap 50% shade cloth at Harbor freight. 20' X 20' for about $30. By folding it in half, I added a nice 10' X 20' extension to my awning that is plenty shady. We had a couple of 70 MPH gusts a few weeks ago and it held up great. Now That.. I like that. any Idea what it is called....

Well crap.. haha.

I did find an older post on here with a bit of info. And went to some videos from burning man to kinda check out the background to see what seemed to be working and not.. I do see a lot more slag from the Aluminet then seems to be from the Cloth. Gonna check out Clist and also heard about some at ho...

put the alternator on a hole high in the air. when the wind blows, or the b.s. too deep. Oh and bypass (short out) the regulator. remove the diodes. spin fast enough you (2000 - 4000 rpm) and you get 100 - 140 volts AC (3phase) Remove Alternator, Wind, Regulator and Diodes from that statement and r...

Oh dear...

Yeah my ex girlfriend was blind.. I just kept telling her she was petting the cat.

We use 90% shade cloth and it is really excellent. We have it grommeted along the edges and it's been to six burns with no issues Both polyester shade cloth as TK suggests and Aluminet are very tough. You will need that because both will catch some wind. Poly shade cloth hardly stretches. Aluminet ...

Lol, best response ever.... If you need me, I'll be over there in the corner under that rock. Funny thing is that you think that is a rock.. why you think she got the G-Can? I'm really just thinking .. should we try and catch her when shit happens? Or just kinda stand back and act like we didn't se...

Simply plug a battery charger into the inverter. It'll still drain the battery, but I think it'll have less loss than the mechanical alternator setup, so it does improve the situation. It sucks less.

I've settled on a Kodiak 10'x14' tent Here And I'm thinking about using a 20' by 21' sheet of Aluminet. Like Here I was planning on attaching one side to the SUV and the other side over the Tent and re barred with the tent with a gap between for shade. I have never dealt with or to be honest seen Al...
