Hey miloh,<br><br>I'll be coming up with ryanc and co, so I don't know how much space I will have, but let me know what I can do to increase the cooking capacity (duration of cooking, amount of food), or if you just want a donation of $100 for extra grub or whatever. Great idea, and I'll certainly help out if I can.<br>

First and foremost I would like to point out this page...<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.toorcamp.org/wiki/FAQ" target="_blank">http://wiki.<span>toorcamp</span>.org/wiki/FAQ</a><br>
<br>
If you haven't done desert camping, thinking of bringing everything you'll need for a few days, including water, food, tp, etc.<br>
<br>
-- Kitchen<br>
* Do we need/want one? That is a shade structure that'll block the wind and sun, with places to cook and clean things.<br>
* I'm planning on bringing my own ultralight camping stove and pots
with a very limited supply of fuel for myself. I saw a camp stove at
83c abut a month ago, wonder if its still there.<br>
* Water, I would recommend 1-2 gallons per day per person (I'd say 6
gallons per person for the whole event would work well). I have one 13
gallon container and one 8 gallon container that I wouldn't mind
sharing if others can deal with hauling it in/out. I have one more 13
gallon container that is missing in action, will try to track down.<br>
* Should we setup a means to deal with gray water, pack it out?<br>
</blockquote></div></div></div><div><br>We need a kitchen. There's a lot of folks
coming up from very far away, some of them will appreciate a
Noisebridge area for grub and socializing -- and from what I read on the site,
the <span>Toorcamp</span>
food is a big unknown. The Noisebridge group can fill in the gaps or
provide something nourishing and different (and vegan for those who
want it!). <br><div>
<br>To that end, I am intent on building a Noisebridge cantina at <span>Toorcamp</span>, and I am bringing a bucky-structure (the one at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUmYAvaNrPo&feature=channel_page" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUmYAvaNrPo&feature=channel_page</a>
), tables, a gas stove, kitchen supplies, and enough food to, well,
eat. I'll take a large amount of water in to share, in the back of my
pickup truck. <br>
<br>If you can help out or pitch in, great!<br><br></div></div><div class="im"><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br><div>
-- Shade structures<br>
<a href="http://www.wunderground.com/US/WA/Moses_Lake.html" target="_blank">http://www.wunderground.com/US/WA/Moses_Lake.html</a><br>
Highs in the mid 80s to low 90s, winds of up to 20mph. Lows in the 50s
at night, and also in the silo. Some posts on the Google Group says
highs up to 100 during that time of the year. Bring sun screen if
you're whiter then me.<br>
<br>
* I have a Monkeyhut (<a href="http://www.chromatest.net/Lovemonkey/" target="_blank">http://www.chromatest.net/Lovemonkey/</a>),
if it doesn't go out to 4th of Juplaya I am thinking of bringing it to
Toor for my own tent and possibly to share with someone else.<br>
* Through Ardent I have access to a number of Costco carports. Here's a photo of David standing in one.<br>
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mooflyfoof/236644786/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/mooflyfoof/236644786/</a><br>
If we want 1 (maybe 2) it shouldn't be a problem to borrow. Someone
with a car would have to show up at NIMBY and we'd need to do an
inspection to make sure we have all of the parts.<br>
* I have a lawn chair that I may or may not bring.<br>
* Lighting, I think it best to just bring our own individual lights.</div></blockquote></div></div><div><br><div><br>The geodesic could be used as shade or kitchen, depending on what else is available and appropriate. <br>
Perhaps 2 structures should be brought up and combined or nestled somehow? <br>

-- Power<br>
It sounds like unless our camp requests it directly, we will be
powerless. Anyone got any renewable energy hookups? Solar? Wind? <br></div></blockquote></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Jake: Have you made a request for power?<br>
<br>
-- Tents<br>
After a quick glance at their Google Group, it sounds like the ground
is soft and slightly muddy. With the wind picking up to about 20mph, I
would recommend folks bring rebar for stakes and tarps to put under
their tents.<br>
