What is with all the below face value tickets on VividSeats and Stubhub?

Scam ? Legit ?

Both these sites have a 100% guarantee, but seems odd.

Re: Securing shade to vehicles

Last year I used loops of rope tied to the undercarriage of the truck then connected them to ratchet straps to tighten the aluminet across the top, just hooking the ratchet straps to the gromets on the aluminet.

Re: Next Directions for Burning Man

Fences around burns will likely become a condition for the permit. "More than 600 volunteers and staff ringed the perimeter of the Temple, backed up by a hastily installed metal security fence. The fence and additional security were new conditions sought by the federal land manager, said Burning Man...

Re: Securing EMT structure side tarps to Playa

I use a ratchet strap hooked to a lag screw as the hypotenuse of a 6-8-10 triangle at each edge of the side tarp (my structure is 8' high) and then I bungee ball the shade cloth to each strap & the lag screw. I chose shade cloth as the side wall because it's porous and 1) allows people to see out of...

Pointer to test of pull-out strength of various methods of securing guy lines

Hi everyone, Last year I came across a post (I believe on ePlaya) where someone did an on playa test of the pull-out strength of various methods for securing guy lines such as lag screws & rebar of different sizes. They even had numbers measuring the force required for each. I've searched high and l...

Re: AMBER Alert abuse

I do not give a rats anal canal about the wait.. The alert is for a lost person ... If you do not have brain enough to sleep instead of driving go fuck yourself and stay home and off the road.. I'm just trying to reason about what the wait accomplishes and if the pros outweigh the cons. Do you do t...

Re: AMBER Alert abuse

FWIW the earlier replies in this thread are from 2012...the wait was longer than 2 hours this year. As I understand it, the Amber Alert protocol is meant specifically for child abductions. It is misused where there is no reasonable suspicion for a child abduction, but it still seems to be used as a ...

Flat top EMT Structure: Foot pads vs. Staked Feet

Hi, I'm building a flat top EMT structure with diagonal side walls. I had planned to put lag screws in for each leg with about 6in. above ground, slip the poles over each screw, and then guy line every outside corner and connection with lag screws. The idea was to prevent the poles from sliding arou...

How risky is it to make an unpaid reservation for a truck in the Bay Area?

Hi all, I've made a reservation for a 16 foot box truck at a company in San Francisco. This company does not take payment ahead of time but allows you to put in an order online. I've read some stories of people losing reservations when companies have another contractual obligation like a commercial ...

Cool, thanks for the replies all. I will pick up an impact driver and test both of them.

Compact Drill vs. Impact Driver for Lag Screws

Hey everyone,

I already have a Dewalt 18-Volt Compact Drill and am wondering if it can deliver enough torque to drive lag screws on the playa. Or is it necessary to have an impact driver?

Thanks!

How do physical ticket transfers work?

I've read through all of the Ticket Support FAQs and cannot find these questions answered. I've seen that it is possible to transfer a ticket to a person in another location by changing the email address in Ticketfly thus voiding the physical tickets and moving them to Will Call. My questions: 1) Wh...
