I just read a playa conditions report, and when I remembered this "thinnest, lightest" thread, it concerned me (pasted below):
"Posting this from a local list, which was a repost from another list. Be prepared out there with your hexakites folks. :) ------------------------------------- Re: Playa Climate Prediction Center Tue Aug 14, 2012 8:11 pm Just had this relayed to me, comes from someone who's on-site at BRC... 'Over a 100 degrees everyday by 3pm. At 7-8pm for the last 3 nights we have had 60+ mph winds with dust whiteout. The playa is getting scrubbed by these high winds. We lost 2 roof so far from the Temple camp kitchen/camp area. We are running out of 40x50' tarps !!!!! Be prepared - all the town locals & old burners say this is one of the highest wind years. We expect continued storms for the next 2 nights. We had a 20' tall 50x50' structure demolished last night & it was just substructure of 2x8" wood - ripped off the foundation. Not enough cross bracing yet - uugh.' WOOHOOO!!! batten down those hatches....." -end- On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 11:32 PM, Richard Ginn <[email protected]>wrote: > what about a hexa-tent made from > R+Heatshield<http://insul.net/prod_heatshield.html>? > The site says it can span 8 feet unsupported.
