@ Jason S: I have a pdf up on appropedia<http://www.appropedia.org/Camp_Danger_Hexayurt_Hinge_Technique>. And it needs to be updated. The camp danger hinges are all the same on the roof. The walls are also the same tight/loose hinges. But there's two ways to do the walls. I can now safely say that a simpler (ie: more pre-taping, less on-playa work) will stand 2012 playa winds without trouble. I'll get on it, boss.
