Yes, I can imagine that some fights would start. Very un-Burner. I have only seen two fights in 10 years, one was on Land-Grab Night in 2007. We had a corner (9:30/B?) and many hours later a group arrived and claimed they had reserved that corner. Nothing was on that area when we got there and it was open campng. There were more of them and they started yelling at us, pulled their vehicles into our camp. There was some pushing, we finally decided we did not want to get beat up before the event and pulled up camp and moved. We had to settle for a space around 9:40 and C as all the corners were gone by then. It was the first time in 8 years our camp had not had a corner. Land-Grab Night is one of the few times you see Douchebags in BRC.....illy dilly wrote:This is very true.CapSmashy wrote:A whole lot of theme camps that the org relies on to add atmosphere and ambiance tot eh event would likely not bother going through the hassle and expense of dragging their theme camp out there with no guarantee of having a place to put it.clerkkent wrote:What if eliminating placement of camps altogether is the new 'rite of passage'?
With a plan to make sure it works somewhat 'easily' why bother?
Have to get in, and fight for space- would be a pain in the ass!

And yet, over in tips and tricks, people are being tsked at for wanting to put up trash fence...EspressoDude wrote:fencing T stakes and safety orange hippie net. also minimizes lost soul cut-thru's

We got promoted to Esplanade two years ago and had some serious concerns about the increased volume of traffic thru our camp. So we fenced it... all of it. When we went to bed at 4am we closed off the front side too and then reopened when we were ready again. Did we overkill it? Yes, I think we did and will probably not go quite as crazy this year. I will say we had minimal intrusion into our private camping area behind the lounge and only woke up with an uninvited couch sleeper in the lounge once. But, we don't even know our Placement yet...
back on topic.

We had Esplanade last year- no fence. Fandango's a village so they just had camps set up along the perimeter (small camps up 3:30, a weird hardly associated wall of RV's along A, BRC Weekly and the Slow Burn Lounge on Esplanade), smaller personal campers stayed inside those, behind the lounge area. Almost zero problems. The few people who wandered back there were politely asked if they needed help from any of the people back there- it was rarely if ever completely empty.jkisha wrote:I think placement on the Esplanade could warrant a fence.
