Fingernail clippers.
Carry them with you everywhere. If you're like me;
Your cuticles will get tore the fuck up, you'll be riddled with hangnails that snag on everything. Your once beautiful healthy nails will be dry and brittle.

Or wear gloves during setup/ derig for protection from dust & rebar scrapes.
A box of 100 disposeable ones from HF is about $7.00

Point the flame away.


Swing the chain saw on an axis not in line with your legs and feet.
Or head.


Don't put anything around your neck that is worth more than your head.

So, does this mean that Bob is a total stranger to himself?

Avoid the areas downwind of a Johnny On the Spot truck while they are cleaning a bank of porta-potties. Even if it means going an entire two blocks out of your way.

The sheer number of notes in the aroma is overwhelming for mortals.

Yes, and don't camp within 200ft downwind or 100ft upwind of the potties. Aroma & doors banging all night.

Don't use same jugs as orange juice/lemonade/light color mixers come in for pee jugs.

You might teach for the wrong one in middle of night (or not sober or both) !
Yuck

New socks! For those who wear footwear anyway. Fresh new socks are just that little bit softer & fluffier than the old ones. You will definitely notice the difference on those long playa treks...

Vodka can be used as an emergency disinfectant for a wound. Not that I'd waste good vodka that way, only the cheap stuff.

[BBadger]

I you are using a Mountain Dew or Diet Mountain Dew bottle as a piss jug, do something to distinguish it from a bottle you haven't finished drinking. Although, if you are grabbing a 'Dew to wake up in the morning, urine might work just as well.

Think of it as an electrolyte drink with extra uric acid natural flavoring.

It's not that bad...

[Foxfur]

Wet your new socks with pee and Mountain Dew for a cooling head or neck wrap and slow-release electrolyte delivery system.

Lefty loosey righty tighty does not alway apply when building flamethrowers.

I have also noticed the reason lefties are loosys, it has to do with their using a righthanded dilldos....

the right tool for the right job....

If you are experiencing gas leaks in your fittings, you might need a new gasket or O-ring.

If you want to get a pet Jackrabbit on the playa, hide behind a tree and make sounds like a carrot.

heard somewhere a person can wash out / clean a wound with their own pee. I would think aiming might be difficult depending on where the wound is.

(1) Do 4 out of 5 dentists recommend this procedure? After all, it's sugar free.

(2) 151 works better than Vodka for this. But not Everclear. Remember this when SHTF.

That is TOO funny! We all know a well-endowed dude or two for which that is not a problem...for the rest of us there's Mason jars and cotton balls...

The playa is sometimes used for time trials, but the speed limit at Burning Man is 5 miles per hour.

[knowmad]

Don't go Swiming with bowleged women!

Get at least 12 hours sleep every night.

Better to put hot iron to your flesh, and save the alcohol for drinking. In fact, you might want to drink the alcohol first.

They say don't put anything in a wound that you wouldn't put in your eye.


Urine is useful for leeches.

[MyDearFriend]

Well the leeches I have handled did not seem to find urine useful.

I personally have found other common substances quite useful when wrangling leeches. Keep out? Vaseline. Let go? Alcohol. Latch on? Blood. Very simple critters to work with.

Urine might be useful for persuading leeches to do whatever, but, urine is quite variable chemically, so it would be hard to predict the effect (if any).

I would be very surprised to find leeches on the playa.

And I generally do put things in wounds that I would not put in my eye, beginning always with soap.

[gyre]

Good point about soap.


Urine and tobacco is supposed to make them let go, and help treat.
May not be good advice with other alternatives.
