My Burn was very busy. I'm still in decom mode! We had over 35 hexayurts on the playa. Most erected under our supervision. All our renters / buyers loved their hexayurt. Our core was returning Yurters from previous year.
Only a couple leaked where tape did not seal properly over the top of the roof cone. This was likely due to either too much wind as we fluffed the tape down and/or not de-dusted properly (more likely). Floor tarps not taped to walls took on some water. Like my hexayurt, but very manageable. 5/8" ply doors worked great. Breezes were a bitch! Several panels snapped on playa but were efficiently replaced. In terms of moop on the road from hexayurts not properly secured for Exodus, Ranger Danger reported that "most" of what he observed was NOT RMax but less expensive cardboard. STILL, it would be a good thing if we could enlist several hexayurt owners to playa / road resto, next & subsequent years. Black Rock Hexayurts is slowly growing. Last year, we had 28 yurts on playa. Next year, we don't expect to have too many more as we move our staging to the playa instead of Empire / Gerlach. I would love to find several experienced hexayurt builders to join our crew next year. Perks include, ticket, early access, Pt 1 credentials (NO GATE road!), set up & strike crew cook & Reno one night outbound and perhaps one night on way in. Long rang plans call for containers stashed north of Pt 1 (Mile 12 - gates are Mile 8) at a venue that would allow outdoor building, "mostly" safe from weather. Our experience indicates that 100's more hexayurts could be made available to Burners this past year. Black Rock Hexayurts CAN grow to accommodate this need, but financing and better management is required if we are to move forward in this direction. I'm open to suggestions.
