This official list of 2018 vendors came across my radar. It is from https://www.blm.gov/press-release/vendi ... -man-event.

There might be a note around on catching unplaced concierge camps through their use of outside services.

Well, that would be one way to mess with PnP camps.

That list of vendors is already too long for starters. About 12 vendors seems like a nice round number that's easy to keep tabs on....
Sooner or later, it will get real strange...

And where are all of the PnPs at? Shouldn't they be registered as commercial vendors as well?
Or do Chip and friends just continue to operate un-checked?..

Hahaha. Mr Jackass brings up an important point.
Concierge camps are camps that charge fees for shelter, food, showers, mistress/masters of merriment, costumes, etc. and are not placed. (see the next post)
An informal poll at the camp summit on dues found a significant proportion of camps with dues of greater than $750. Along with the BM tradition of not selling tickets over cost, it would be nice for camp finance books to be open to their campers.

They are not unchecked! In fact placed pnp camps are checked on by the BORG acculturation police.
