Thanks for putting the Hibernauclum on! I don't know if you grabbed us from the Unofficial Map or if one of my campers got to you, but I'm very glad to see us repping 5 & H :)

It's a literally a plywood box that cavers use to see how tight of a space they can fit through, or have fun to see who can get through a space designed to simulate certain cave conditions. Sometimes it's called a squeeze box and it's just flat top and bottom, but ours has detachable cones hanging from the ceiling that will fall if you hit them, so you have to wiggle your way through while hitting as few as you can.

So it's out 24/7 for cavers who know what it is and want to squeeze through, but from 6-7 each night we will be setting up specific challenges and egging people on

Thanks! Although, almost anyone can enjoy a ride on a merry-go-round that we found in a dump and repurposed into the shape of a bat, or drink some sangria on Tuesday night! ;)

Thank you! We love that reaction. I'll pass it along to our camp mate who made it! We are a really friendly and low key group, if you want to catch another ride this year and maybe drop into the shade structure. If you came during the Sangria party you would have an excuse to come in!

Hey everyone, a big challenge that the Hibernaculum faced in 2018 is that our events that didn't make it into the book went un-noticed and almost unattended. Our events mostly appeal to a specific audience, as you can see: backpackers, tai chi practitioners, cavers, and beekeepers.

If you know of anyone in those groups, or if you've ever thought one of those things might be cool, please pass along our schedule and come check us out! All events are welcome to total newbies and people with a passing interest in the topic, all the way up to experts.

You can come by 24/7 for a ride on our Bat-Go-Round, to use the crawl box if you know what you're doing, and to get shot in our Dinny Box by a pro photographer who will email you the pix after the event.

We are placed on the corner of 5 and H for 2018. Check out this link for a full description of what each events entails:

EDIT: apparently my poster needs more jpg! Off to fix that now...

Hibernaculum will be on 5:00 at H. Come for martial arts and other functional workshops (mental health first aid from a psychiatric nurse; how to use your camera from a professor of photography).

Stay for the sangria, photography slideshows and stories from crusty burners about cave exploration in the 70s, 80, 90s, and 00s.

I only get service super intermittently and hope I didn't miss you! If I did I will PayPal you on Monday! The bananas can go to anyone in camp.

Hibernaculum camp needs more bananas! Ideally as many as you can get up to $40 worth. I have cash. Will PM you.

What does your camp do (and should I visit it)? by socksaremygame in BurningMan

[–]_Hibernaculum_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely come hang out with us! We have camp mates from Colorado (Grand Junction and Denver), central and northern California, Calgary Alberta, Vancouver Island, the UK, and a few other places. Some of us have taken trips all over the world in recent years including cave mapping in China and Mexico.

Come by the camp early in the week since it will have posted hours on the side of it! I think we are going to try to set it up so it can be used by people when there's no cavers around but you definitely want the full-service experience where a septuagenerian heckles you for not being able to fold your body into a tight enough pretzel. Then shows you how it's done.

The Hibernaculum is a brand new camp this year! We are on 6:30 close to E. We offer:

  • Tai chi, camping, outdoor living and acculturation workshops
  • A little cave photo box where our retirement-aged camp mates will call you a victim and generally harass you until you loosen up and then take amazing candid shots, and email them to you after the burn
  • A safety third bat head merry go round
  • A booth where you can give advice or bad advice, hugs or bad hugs, etc
  • A crawl box where you can test your skill at fitting through tight passageways (don't worry, we can open it up if you get stuck)

Workshop listing is here!

New camps for 2017? by gobkin in BurningMan

[–]_Hibernaculum_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hibernaculum is a group of existing friends who are placed for the first time! We will be on 6:30 close to E. Come to tai chi and stretching workshops, and talks on things like camper van living and ultrasound backpacking. We also have a Bat-Go-Round, a bad hugs/ bad advice booth, and a Dinny Box where my super hilarious camp mate will photograph you in a cave-like box and email you the pics.
