I love the colors! It's abstract!

It has a simple elegance.

SunflowerRz Don't go near an electric fly swatter without your hazmat suit. BLEH! I hadn't thought of that! Although I HAVE made my peace with the fact that we all eat at least 7 spiders in our sleep a year and that there is an average of 6 bug legs in every bar of chocolate. GOTTA LOVE THAT EXTRA ...

I have to flush the toilet with the seat down for fear of toilet water molecules spraying all over my bathroom and getting on my toothbrush. I think brushing in a Porto is not for me. Lol.

Alrighty. A spit bottle doesn't sound too bad out of those options.

So no go on spitting rinse water into the evaporation? Can we empty it into the portos?

I do have a non-pee related question. How does one brush one's teeth out there? I don't appreciate the taste or feeling of food in my mouth when I'm done eating. I try and brush after every meal, or at least eat a mint. I need to brusha brusha brusha and something tells me no one gifts the new Ipana...

Sorry, y'all. Intermittent technical difficulties.

Hahaha. Pee jug parade. We should all dress up our pee jugs like floats. :lol: and we'll call it art I wrote all over my 100-oz detergent bottle last year with thick sharpie: CERTAINLY NOT PEE and NOT AT ALL PEE, GOOD FELLOW . That way, people just assume I'm doing my laundry in the portapotties. W...

There's a liiiiiiight over at the Potty Place,
There's a liiiiiiiight burning in the fireplace,
There's a light, light in the darkness of everybody's life!

Btw, I get plenty of electrolytes from the salt on my margarita.

NOW you're talkin'!

A sparkle pony has a gazillion fancy outfits and no water. Wants you to set up the tent but tries to crash in anyone's RV, fills your trashcan with her crap but doesn't MOOP walk, and takes three showers a day without your knowledge, using up all your water. Wants hot meals, vegan meals, gluten fre...

Well, I've looked around on the poop threads. I think I can figure a decent emergency plan from there. Y'all have been so helpful answering all of my questions (and providing a fair amount of entertainment along with the advice). I have one more question that's really been bugging me. What is a spar...

I feel like if someone drinks from your bottle without asking, they've accepted the risks that come with it.

Hahaha. Pee jug parade. We should all dress up our pee jugs like floats.

And then just...empty the potty out next time you use the Porto? I guess it's just part of the experience you have to embrace? I've peed in the woods, in porta potties, in questionable gas station bathrooms, I've just never carried it around with me. Haha. :oops: Thanks for the tarp info. I am DEFIN...

That'll help me plan where we plant ourselves! I was worried about the smell, hadn't considered the noise. Would making camp half a block or a block away help? So still in walking distance but far enough away.

What...is a camp potty? Is there a special camping potty we can buy?

Phthalate nifty as fuck. I've seen a bunch of maps, but I haven't seen one with all of that info at the bottom. Thank you!

Where are portos generally placed? On every radial street or every other or?

Thanks! I love watching those videos. Everyone has such different experiences. It's so interesting!

I'm still fuzzy on picking out a camping site. Is everyone who isn't placed just wandering around hoping for a good spot? You just drive around the side you want to camp on looking for an open spot?

As I said, we wouldn't be relying on rain water. I guess I just feel like if it DOES rain, extra water can't hurt. Meh. Maybe a dumb question.

The electrolyte water isn't something I had thought of really. That sounds like a plan man!

The fridge has no vent to outside air. Of course you should run the fridge, that's one of the best parts of an RV! No your food won't get dusted.

Thanks! I'm not at all tech savvy, obviously. Lol.

I had been mulling over that route. I just wasn't sure about time and it seems like it'll be putting some miles on. It could be something to consider if it's easier on the vehicle, though. We're coming from central Texas, so I-35 would be a great option. There's a lot less highway switching and thos...

Thanks! I'll check it out!

What do you cover your monkey hut with?

I've read a tiny bit about swamp coolers. I'm not fantastic with rigging. That's more my husband's thing. He doesn't have an account on here just yet, though, so if you have any advice that I could pass along to him, that'd be great!

My husband and I are looking at 2017 to be our first burn. We're both virgins. I've been up and down burningman.org and many of these forums. I've learned a lot! I still have a few questions, though. Also, some things I just want clarify and make sure I have the correct info. The first one may seem ...

Thank you so much!

Okay cool. Thank you! A lot of great advice. I know black isn't the best to wear on the playa, but I have a few costume design ideas. One.of which involves a black tutu with LEDs I got for a birthday one year. I was thinking about trying to find a pleather jacket and adding rainbow cuffs to go with ...

Sunflowerrz, Thanks for the compliment. Can you tell me what page those little bustles are on. 1 - 22. This is a very old thread but I may still have one that I could photo and explain. Page 12, about halfway down. I also love the vests with the colorful trim around the arm holes on 18. And the ves...

These darling little bustles are made from upholstery samples. Luckily they already had a 'channel' at the top to run the ribbons through. the ribbons with bows keep them gathered up. I used up some old scraps of lace to decorate and long scarves to tie them around my hips. So sexy. Okay so these a...

I have eczema and I used to work at a bakery and had to wash my hands frequently. My hands became super irritated, angry and red. I used tons of lotion every day and it didn't help. Finally, a friend recommended O'Keefe's Working Hands and it became my band's deliverance. You only need a bit on the ...
