Remember though, no one can really do justice to a description what a humid swamp cooler yurt smells like on day 6 of the unwashed

She is used to smellin funky

Lets air through, rejects sun... That's a bit of camo net on the far end.

Any idea what size aluminet that is?

No mood my friend. Just redirecting people back to my question about shade.

I'm not asking about securing the carport I have that taken care of. Just shade advice please.

I am bring a carport to put my tent under. It will look like this. https://s3.postimg.org/6qbzvhrjj/IMG_3702.jpg I want to shade the sides and back of the carport and was curious what people are doing? I'm considering buying a 50' roll of this and just wrapping it around. https://s14.postimg.org/sgm...

im going with 2 buckets instead of one big cooler because I need the room while I'm traveling. I can put a bucket inside a bucket and put the cooler together when I get there. But if cargo space is not an issue the bigger the cooler the better. More surface area is more cooling.

That is not as stiff as the blue stuff. Its also a finer weave, if we can say that about it. 'IF' you have a framework like Chicken Wire to help hold it up, as it will sag when it gets wet, it will work . But the blue poly is better. There is some 'light green stuff that will work too.

Has anyone tried any kind of alternative to the duracool pad?
Such as this

Thanks guys

Any experience with these on the playa? I got a free hook up but don't have any experience with them.

These calculations are ideal and assume no losses. Your losses will likely be 20% give or take so the following should be adjusted accordingly. Running your system will take 6.7 amps, therefore your 35AH battery will be depleted in 5.2 hours if not being recharged. I would rate the battery as under...

Can I buy just a vehicle pass through step?

My friends and I are driving from Virginia to burning man. I got tickets and a vehicle pass. My friends did not get a vehicle pass. What are there options now?

You got this ginger! You should be fine.

Hey man! I will be attending this year also from Virginia H Portsmouth area. Where you from?

I painted my bike over the weekend

I'm going to my first burn this year and I got an old beach cruiser I'm trying to cover in led lights. So I spent the weekend teaching myself to solder and here is where I'm currently at. https://s12.postimg.org/sdmotm2gp/IMG_3750.jpg https://s16.postimg.org/d2l8sot01/IMG_3756.png https://s16.postim...

I got some camo netting I'm hoping to wrap around my carport for shade.

Thanks buddy

You'll be hard pressed to find the 3/8 x 14" variety anywhere else besides the sources posted already. They're more of a specialty item and it's actually pretty fortunate they can be had at that price. If you are willing to settle for 12" length bolts, you can find them more commonly (e.g. here ). ...

In the background you can see the green ratchet straps I used with lag screws to the ground. I plan on doing the same Thing in the front when I get more straps. Plus I'm going to duct tape all the joints together once in on the playa.

Wheee did you order your lag screws? I'm looking for a source where I don't have to buy a box of 50.

I'm going to my first burn this year and up until a couple weeks ago I had zero camping/ burning man gear. I have a compulsive spending problem so I have acquired quite a bit in a short time. I got Tent Carport 2 bikes Bike rack And some cool hats The only major purchase I have left is a small inver...

I'm hauling this and much more all the way from Virginia.

Im going to try using lag screws instead of rebar. I used s them with ratchet straps in the back of the picture. I just need to track down a half dozen more.

I'm going to my first burn this year and was curious if a campsite this size is realistic.

So as of right now this is my campsite setup.
Is this an appropriate size.

And yes I will have the carport lagged down with ratchet straps.

Great info thanks a lot
