If this was 2006, then I likely watched this. I remember watching this scene happen to several people...

they probably have short orders for that too...

I listen to local AM news station every morning on commute (KBOI 670 AM)

...if you are considering insurance, you may want to hire a Liability Attorney to give you a run-down on what could go wrong, and prudent steps one could take to minimize risk.

Question: There is a plastic bag crossing your camp in the wind at about 30 knots. How far do you run after it before you give up? (Use both sides of the form if necessary.) I order the closest Camp Virgin to chase it, and not to come back without it! (and they better have scrounged a cold beer for...

The best times to pick up trash are when the sun is lower to the horizon, because it creates more contrast and the MOOP stands out better (plus it is not so hot). There is a better chance that prime Schmoop goes undiscovered in the dark, and therefore at Dawn there is roughly 8 hours of accumulated,...

I have had excellent results running your standard household 120vac fan (20" box type or swivel type on stand) from an invertor and 12v deep cycle battery. Position yourself downwind, then spray the blades with water every now and then (or drip from a cup mounted on top). I also have one of those sm...

...I like to get up early and catch the dawn, a prime schmooping time.

Schmooping (Schmoop)

To look for Schwag whilst picking up Moop.

Imagine if several hundred service men and women, in uniform, arrived and peaceably assembled across from the "protesters", and sang military songs and the national anthem, etc. For that matter, several hundred citizens doing this would be pretty damned impressive also...as long as it remained order...

...yes, I can't begin to figure out what you are talking about (and I have played around with "alternate energy" for years as a hobby - fan of Tesla, etc), but I will be looking along the trash fence for signs of your installation and possible power outlets! I hope your plans come to fruition this y...

how about looking at construction lifts? I have seen some 1-man lifts with several nested metal slides, that get lifted by a chain and electric motor. These have multiple sections - might be want you are looking for.

Good Luck!

I am without SPACE!

I feel so empty...

the Bobbie Bar is totally self-sufficient, with an excess of ability. If they want to feel themselves up, they will need no help.

Radical Self Reliance

Fuck chance!

Luckily you have friends...

(there is a a reward after all for being such a cool dude!)

Who doesn't like Boobies?

yeah, go for yourself. I won't even take anyone to BM in my vehicle that has never been before - if they freak out and want to go home after 1 day, that would be a bummer (for them). Don't sweat joining a camp (in fact, I recommend you DO NOT join a camp, unless they are from your area and you can h...

A silk wrap dunked in ice water, then draped on your body, does wonders in the heat of the day. Repeat as needed.

...no exclusion for "off road"?

if you can get the billboard vinyl sign material, it works great.

the first year my MV failed to make it down, but it's trailers did, we used the "wings" of the dragonfly (25' welded steel) with 4 guy ropes each to anchor a huge shade structure (20'x40' tarp or somesuch). The other side was anchored to the cargo rack of a friend's RV (her idea). It was a lovely ca...

buy it in mexico, and drive across? don't know if that would be better or worse...

And now it seems that significant methane venting is happening not just from tundra regions but off shore as reported by Russian scientists this week.

:D Myth: You must always have a dust mask readily at hand. As I see it: The dust is so fine, it is not noticable to my airways, and I breathe normally even in a whiteout.

Yes, the Burner Community includes some very smart and generous people (as evidenced by a high % of Burners staring in the recent "make something cool in a short time" shows popular in the USA), and everyone that attends is somewhat select in that they made it to a far-away inhospitable location, so...

Critical Camel-Toe?

I come from the north, and have taken Jungo 3 times. In summary, it is not a road for most Travellers. What is your rig? Do you have a trailer? How much weight are you hauling? How many spare tires do you have (for the trailer too)? There are no services or habitants at all. You are totally on your ...
