We know there are many folks preparing to hit the playa – and we’re often asked advice on taking a RV to Burning Man. With a harsh environment, lots of alkaline dust, extreme temperature ranges, high gusty winds — it’s a good question to ask! So, here are some quick tips we offer up after many […]
Burning Man
Welcome to the Flipside!
It’s getting more and more difficult to get into Burning Man events these days.. especially the popular ones with capacity limitations. With Burning Man itself going through growing pains with their ticket lottery fiasco, this is leading to the regionals getting more and more popularity. Overall, we love the spirit, and love connecting with the […]

Rites of Passage
We left Burning Man in 2010 for the first time without a plan one way or the other if we would be attending in 2011. We left that decision up to serendipity. But we did know one thing – if we attended, we wanted a year off of hosting our theme camp, Camp Nomadia, and […]
Lithium Ion Battery Success!! Playa Bound
There is nothing like hearing your air conditioner turn on via battery power! Not that it’s any different of a sound. So let’s back up a few days, and cover the journey since we left Phoenix – where we built our own lithium ion battery bank. Building our bank was lots of fun, but it […]

An Epic Camp Nomadia 2010
I’m still buzzing off the energy of Burning Man, and particularly our theme camp, Camp Nomadia. When we first had the vision for hosting the camp in 2008, we imagined a community of full time travelers all converging in one spot to share community, but not infrastructure. After all, us full time travelers are used […]
Burning Man Pictorial – Day 8
The last official day of Burning Man. At 3pm, if you’re in Center Camp – you’re told Burning Man is officially closed and to go home, or start helping with clean up efforts. The city is clearing out – there is more open space around you, and you can see the banks of porta-potties across […]
