I deleted three posts that were 100% off topic and pure politics. You guys and gals know better than that!! At least one of those posts I agreed with 100%, but that is not the point, at this forum we don’t talk politics and we stay on topic. Any further off-topic posts will be deleted...

The BLM has been great to work with and they bend over backwards to help us out. But, getting a Permit is a beaurocratic process and someone has to be responsible for it. So staying under 75 people would be pretty important. But, that should be doable. I actually offered to turn the RTR into...

Great minds DO think alike!! I’m also a huge fan of Ensolite and did the exact thing Mike did with my van when I lived in Alaska. I had a box van with an 8x12 box and went to my local military surplus store and bought enough military surplus ensolite pads to cover the floor, then 1/2 inch...

You've raised many questions, now let me answer them as honestly as I know how.   I promise you with all the honesty and integrity that is inside me, that all the moderators are great people with only one goal, serve the community to the best of their abilities--and for the most part, they do a...

The music camp will be the road to the north of the main area. When you turn in, stay to the right. See attached map

I think that battery is a very good choice for you. It's pretty likely you are going to kill your first battery so buying the cheapest one you can is a smart way to go. Learn on this one and then plan on doing better on your next one. It would be cheaper to get a flooded battery, but be honest...

Here is the rule for drum circles that is not open to debate or discussion: No one in the main camp area should be able to hear it, even as a muffled bass in the distance. Many people find them infuriating. I don't know if it's the sound that causes that reaction, or the rudeness--probably...

Two comments: Since I first moved into a van in 1995 my dream has been a flatbed 4x4 truck that I built a cabin on. They are common, cheap and super strong--you can get them in any size and maybe even a manual transmission. Two disadvantages to it are that it is so high off the ground and no...

As of now it's my intent to video the sessions.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who...

This will need to be at the north camp in the music/generator camp, not in the main camp. There will be signs out pointing to its location.

There is a really terriffic primitive living skill camp near Phoenix in February. More info here: https://wintercountcamp.com/ I've had numerous friends go who loved it, and I've been wanting to go for years but just haven't made it. It's expensive but it is for a week and they provide 2 meals...

Sounds good! Grab me at the first seminar and we'll get you going. It's best if you can come daily and make the announcement so people can see you.

WOW!! Very impressive!

As usual, we are allowing perfection to be the mortal enemy of good enough. All too often perfectionism paralyzes and nothing gets done. It's not all or nothing! Unless you are going to be in extreme cold, I'd use spray glue to glue sheets of polyiso that you've cut to fit against all the sheet...

Sadly, I don’t have any solutions. Finding areas where you can camp alone is very easy and is always my preference and first inclination. But, it does the newbies no good.  Do whatever it takes to keep your dog safe and if he isn’t safe there you may have to leave and find a place he will be...

Someone needs to step up and agree to host the singles meeting or I'll have to take it off the schedule. There is nothing to it--you don't really have to do anything at all! You have to make an announcement about it at the seminars and say "It's over there..." and say where you are camped...
