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 hope your plans come to fruition this y...

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...

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...

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...
