A campmate received her ticket on 7/15. No one else in our camp has received theirs yet.

Hers was through a directed sale through a different camp, one that she’s doing an event for, though I don’t think that makes a difference.

We stay in Fernley. No parties but so far, things have been okay.

Russian Doll. (Netflix)

(The Umbrella Academy was good but not as good.)

Our camp has used it as walls. Usually about 40%. It tends to trap heat in the corners, at least the higher percentages does. Not perfect but we will keep using it.

Tegaderm dressings are great for keeping dirt and playa dust out of wounds. The “spiders” are really protective. When used with the wound prep that comes with them.

Great list. Mine is probably way too big, but it includes: Silvadene for burns Zofran for nausea/vomiting Suture kit with 5-0 and 4–0 nylon Tobrex ophthalmic solution Peptobismal Ibuprofen Acetaminophen Compression gauze for major bleeding (think maxi pad but sterile) Epinephrine Diphenhydramine Mar...

Stop by Tarwater and browse in the boutique.

There are no such thing as sand snakes. Those are just baby sand worms.

I'm considering trading the sledge hammer and very long stakes in for an impact wrench and lag screws. My hesitation is my wrist. I tore cartilage a couple of years ago while cutting sheet metal with a powered shear. (It bound up and twisted. ) It healed well enough for everyday use but flares flare...

White vinegar and a mild soap. Dilute tea tree oil for any stubborn spots.

Our camp members work hard building and running an interactive camp. I can't begrudge them a shower or two. Some of them crowd into small cars and can't carry out much with them. Most of our shower water is ice chest melt. It has to to go somewhere... buckets... that's a nice simple idea. We have a ...

Good points all.

I think the commercial route isn't for us.

I have a great idea: I am going to assign the gray water problem to cammates Tom and Tommy... let them come up with improvements.

Answers: About 20 people. We have been trucking the gray water out for many years. Nearly decades. There are problems associated with it that we are looking to improve. A commercial service was one of our camp mates' suggestion. We are discussing other options as well. Our system has been a evaporat...

I guess I unclear. We're looking for a drop off and pick up service. United Site Services does it, but their tanks won't work for our needs: Big square blocks for mucho money. There's a surplus store nearby that sells the large barrels but trucking them out full of fluids is a lot of weight. We'll p...

This year our camp is considering renting a gray water tank, to be delivered and picked up by a service. I contacted USS and found that their tanks are too big and too costly for our camp's needs. A couple of years ago we were camped next to someone who had a small flat rectangular container, one th...

Target sells a "portion size" ziplock that is perfect for an iPhone. Last year I lost the spare battery for my camera along with the charger. I ended up using my phone's camera for about 4 days. The baggy protected well. Of course I took it out to shoot the pictures. (I found the battery and charger...

We have a nice little travel trailer, 20 feet with everything but an onboard generator. We use everything in it, with a portable Honda EU... except the toilet. We got used to trekking to the portas and using a midnight bucket. I've seen too many neighbors desperate for a pump out. The smell carries ...

We use four t-posts, pictured above. Two per side. Drill the plywood out and tie it to each post. No failures so far.

Bringing a t-post pounder and a puller are mandatory.

Our camp goes to garage sales and the cheapest second hand stores to buy clothes for our boutique. We accept donations in clothes but not money. (We also go to flea markets as they are ending and go through all the trash the sellers leave behind. Sometimes it's good clothes and sometimes it's broken...

Thanks, I didn't even consider having two street frontages.

Great link, now I can see that the shapes are really irregular. There is no way to plan for an exact layout so I should just enjoy the chaos. (That's what our first camp set up day always is, anyway.) We were given a 60x100' area. My biggest challenge in design is getting all the camp's public attra...

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is the approximate square footage. Hard to do with an irregular shape a brain that explodes with the closest whiff of math. We will be getting less space than usual so we have to make cuts somewhere. ("You an arm, you a trailer, you a all the toes on your right ...

Our camp will be in a plaza for the first time which means that I am going to have to move circles, squares and lines around on the camp diagram to make sure everything fits... Or start letting air out of tires in late August. Am I correct in plotting our "irregular" space in the form of a curved tr...

There is a re-entry fee during the event. It's pretty cheap.

I'm worried less about getting back in a second time than the third time, after BM is over, to collect the last trailer.

Good to know.

Our camp has a logistical problem this year. We haul usually haul four or five trailers with camp features and supplies and an art car. One of our regular drivers was transferred across the sea for a year. He's hoping to get a couple of weeks off of work but it's not likely. We will be consolidating...

The burn is weeks away and I'm think of clean up? What a ridiculous brain I have. There is a reason for the thoughts, though. This year we are taking an almost new travel trailer rather than sleeping in the crusty old cargo hauler. A friend offered the use of his pressure washer on the way back. I h...

We are now up to five.

In all seriousness, we have the following age-old tools of fortune telling: 1). A bag of Scrabble tiles, along with a guide to their meanings. 2). MOOP, for reading the Ruins, (no, not Runes.) 3). A Magic 8 Ball and an, uh, a yellow one and a purple one.. For self-service fortunes. 4). Something spe...
