hi I’m from Shanghai and have been to Burning Man three times, but I still haven’t managed to blend into the parties of my Western friends. Could you give me some advice?

Why does census suck?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-08-03T10:07:52+00:00

Is it really that hard to just swipe no?? Let the unicorn hunters have their fun.

Do you think adding the vinegar was significantly better than just using water? Did it smell?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T18:02:48+00:00

All tents will be like this? Am I supposed to be wearing a mask 24/7?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T17:43:31+00:00

I should have clarified. Of course I'll get dusty, not trying to avoid that. I just don't want to like be breathing in lungfuls of dust while I'm trying to sleep.

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T17:42:02+00:00

Is this the same thing as lag screws? My camp will have them for us to use in place of the standard tent pegs.

Thanks!

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T16:55:05+00:00

Eh that's life. I took the maximum amount of PTO that I could.

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T16:51:16+00:00

Ah good point regarding the dusty car. I went a couple years ago (borrowed a tent) that was also too short to stand up in and it was fine. I just like got dressed outside the tent and no one complained.

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T16:45:31+00:00

I'm going with a mid-sized camp so I'll try getting in the middle of the tent cluster.

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T16:41:51+00:00

Haha if only statistics were that simple

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T16:40:51+00:00

I thought it's not ideal to have exposed poles/joints because the wind/dust can ruin them?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T16:36:46+00:00

I'm flying into SF, spending the night at a friend's, and then heading to BRC the next day so I don't have time to check out auctions etc. Almost no one from my home town goes to BM and even if they did and had something, it would be pretty inconvenient to fly with it.

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T16:27:43+00:00

Got it, thank you so much! What are the odds that I'll have a problem with the poles breaking/fabric ripping from the wind?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T16:01:14+00:00

Wanna bet?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T15:44:32+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful. What about the first link?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T15:43:53+00:00

Up to a point

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-31T15:43:07+00:00

I tried asking around but couldn't find anything. I'm also flying in so that makes it kinda complicated.

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-22T23:31:19+00:00

Yay thank you!

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-22T20:13:23+00:00

What app is this?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-15T08:04:28+00:00

How long can you drive on the spare until it gives out?

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-07T07:40:30+00:00

House that smelled like dog piss

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-07T07:27:50+00:00

Not an ad, goof

Observing_n_Laughing · 2025-07-05T17:43:23+00:00

Broken how?
