A couple pulled in across from us last year on Tuesday. They left Reno on Sunday and decided to take Jungo in a half ton pulling a double axle camper. They had their first flat tire within a half hour, and they continued breaking down multiple times and had to call friends for help. Jungo literally ...

Seriously, this is the most important thing and will fuck yer plans on any given Sunday. I bought a 2012 StarCraft trailer, drove it home 100 miles same day. It looked good, it towed good, and I was pleased with my purchase. Next stop is my mechanic to do a safety check. First time he's ever called ...

No theme. No man. No temple. No center camp. No DMV.

wait....forgot all alcohol?

Sorry, gold star has been disallowed.

Seriously, awesome job. Ingenuity and resourcefulness at its finest

This year I bought a replacement canopy roof for the Costco carport (Item #862391) and it was approximately 1 foot too short to fit the frame I bought about 8 years ago. . Just a heads up to those out there, this does not fit all 10x20 Costco carport frames. My fault for not field testing. You can c...

Really good idea. You've got sellers who will be motivated to sell over the next couple of months. They want to get rid of their toys before another year of non-use + storage fees + rainy season starts. For best deals on trailers, buy from a private party between NFL playoffs and tax day. For a Jeep...

I pack a sawzall in the never ending tool box for one reason: to help those collapse their foldable canopies for packing after a week on the playa. All it takes is a 15 degree bend at any joint and there's a 50% change it will not fold per manufacturers specs. Shoes, contacts, Rx.....invisaline brac...

Started awake at 2AM, how could I be so stupid? Clearly the Thursday sunset jams playlist was lacking sufficient Michael Jackson representation. Of course couldn't go back to sleep so lets start the day. Nothing better than espresso and 4 hours of uninterrupted focus to check off 90% from the list. ...

Can always send her on a snipe hunt.

"see that ship mutant vehicle over there? I hear the captain has free wine spritzers and garlic french fries"...

Very surprised, and proud, of the responses here. Figured some tool would have recommended a protein based face cream. Looks like the eplaya board isn't as snarky as its made out to be.

I've been burning with one of my best buddies since 1999. He's is a complete mess and couldn't pack a lunch. But he's the fucking life of the party and this man knows how to run a bar. I know he's got the front of the house. He knows I got his back. He'll bring a dozen handles of tequila and the sal...

Capers are so 2008

Romance the wife for 24 hours. it will be a long dry week.

naw, lots of hijinx and pranks going on. just all the asshats are too busy snapchatting their indian tacos to notice.

BTW, your shoes are the best for the playa. wouldn't wear anything else with my prada butt plug.

I'll gladly drop by, gift myself your beer, and leave you to spout off about whatever you want.

ABC Bitches!

Hey, you're not alone. We all have boulders to push up the mountain, and we all deal with this fact differently. I also have been dealing with anxiety and depression for the last two decades and I understand that it can come in and blindside the fuck out of you without notice. I've got my own set of...

Uhhh, why do I have this impulse to burn my camp infrastructure, tell my camp to go blow a goat, and head down to LA all of a sudden?

Charlatans speaking with forked tongue, every one of them. The only one you can trust is me.

Temperatures will range between cold and hot, dead calm to 50+mph, clear as a bell to complete white out.

Bring condoms.

Also, turn off your water pump / lock the outside shower when not in use.

Last thing you want to see is a ZERO fresh water on Tuesday morning cause some dickwad didn't fully close the faucet.

Was teached that one the hard way.

If you can build this configuration between two panel trucks deep inside a neighborhood that's got good windblock - you may just got it made, babe. Get 5 or 6 long stakes and pound them in. Tie or duct tape all the legs to a stake. Toss a rope over and secure in 3 places. Cross your fingers and say ...

breath mints. cause hugs.

with that double box setup, once all the potential heat issues are figured out, might want to think about an external fuel source. It would make the refueling process a lot easier.

Thanks for the pic, it gives a great view of the surface. Do you recall the temps around midnite?

Assuming you're still interested in buying a bike that will be used more than one week in 2016, you'll want something that is easy to ride, easy to store, and easy to maintain. Think single speed, wide or fat tire, center pull brakes. Cruisers are extremely popular and easy to find. Prior to it goin...

Not all the W-World / Target / Big5 $129 imported bikes are complete crap, some of them are less shitty than others. I think I remember Elliot (one of the eplaya in house bike experts) posting a great introduction to bikes (Huffy Cranbook?) and how to bring them up to playa-worthy standards. Can do ...

Well done, good entertainment for a couple of pages. Have you considered becoming a fiction writer? I could see you following in the steps of Dean Koontz or Steven King. Magically appearing stowaways, intent on ruining one man's vacation, but maybe with sinister overtones, and perhaps even a threat ...

For what it is, UHaul trailers aren't bad. They will get you from A to B and back without any problems. Yes, you hear horror stories but that's going to happen when you have a million rentals a year. The nature of this beast is that if everything performs flawless, you're not going to write a glowin...

Departing San Jose, CA around noon on Saturday the 27th, goal is to get into line at midnite. Safe and sane driver, reliable tow vehicle and trailer. Room for 1 + reasonable gear & bike. Conversationalist and great listener, looking for a travelling companion who has their gear together, ticket in h...

Yeah, the trials and tribulations of rental preparations. Did you make sure you fully completed the online registration process? I'd also call the rental office you're planning pickup and confirm they see it too. Finally, try to drop by in the next couple of weeks, with a totally innocent question r...

If you have a stowaway in the back of your ambulance, or on the roof, presumably as the operator of the vehicle you know they are there. Therefore fuck the stowaway, your vehicle, and you in this scenario - GTFO. If you have a stowaway in/on your vehicle and somehow you don't know, then you're a fuc...
