Would BM exist without cable ties?

For those of you who may have missed it, I created a ZipTie Mandala this year to honor the almighty cable tie. Yes... there really are 50,000 zipties and they do fluoresce under black light. Enjoy:

Right on!

That's insane in a way I really admire.

I can't believe nobody said it yet so I will:

Army Surplus

My camp would not even exist were it not for the sacred military dumping grounds across America.

Think that's cool?

Most of you'd be surprised to find that a 3+ billion linear accelerator (over the years) is kep running with
1) aluminum foil
2) stay ties
3) duct tape
4)

hell, there is no #4

I might add a good knife or swiss army knife as #4 because with it I can trim the foil to the size I need, cut old stay ties to add new ones or cut off the tail for appearance reasons, and good duct tape is a bitch to tear, I like a good clean cut. They also double as screwdrivers, finger nail files, junk mail destroyers / kindling makers, and mine has the critical bottle opener for my Boulevard Wheat Beer and Shinerbock!

I must say Gadget's creation was a fun tactile experience....nothing like the -beyond the art gallery-experiences you can have at BM, huh? But I must say that besides my veil those baby wipe/green pot scrubbie fusions are the best...esp. for between the folds! AG

The true underpinnings of the event are listed right here in this thread. Zip ties and Duct tape. But there has to be more...I mean a city the size of BRC has to have more construction tips than these? Come on, tell us what works for you!

Of course we could exist without cable ties! We could always strengthen our ties with dish network and the broadcast networks!
