You back in 2016? Damn well hope so. I’ve a hexayurt going to First Camp and will try again for some influence if it’s gonna be longer.
RE Hexayurt Vendor list. The Borg is looking for such a thing to try to identify other hexayurt vendors. At this point, I am THE ONLY hexayurt vendor who is on a Borg approved vendor list. The others are flying by the seat of their pants and trying to remain under radar. We do need to create some kind of standards, esp after I hear crap like, “Hey, I can build a hexayurt for the playa for $250, PANELS INCLUDED!” Thank you for all your work. Hope you back soon! peace Hal > On Jul 1, 2015, at 8:07 AM, Vinay Gupta (Hexayurt Shelter Project) > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi guys, > > I'm going to put up the Practice Safe Hex stuff in the next week or so, with > a few guidelines for hexayurt best practices to > > 1) reduce the moop apocalypse we unleashed last year, and > > 2) reduce health and safety risks associated with hexayurt use > > I'd also like to get vendors to pledge that they Practice Safe Hex if > possible, so people have at least a few basic guarantees. > > Here's what I've got so far > > 1) nothing cut on the playa, ever - no production moop > > 2) units transported on roofracks to be wedged between plywood sheets or > similar so that road wind and vibration doesn't tear them up and dump bits > all over the exit route > > 3) units to be properly tied down (tape anchors or the rope halo) > > 4) rebar to have tennis balls or bottle caps over them > > 5) a smoke detector in each yurt, near the apex, in case of fire > > we haven't had problems with fire yet, but particularly as people build > larger complexes of hexayurts I start to worry these are becoming more > building-like and we need to start thinking about at least two exits on > opposite sides of the yurt and other fire risk reduction strategies. > > Can anybody think of anything to add to the list before I publicise it? > > I'm also considering putting up a web site listing vendors - a wikipage might > result in edit wars, but if you guys can behave yourselves, that's probably > what I'll do. > > V> > > > -- > Vinay Gupta [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > http://re.silience.com <http://re.silience.com/> > Free Science and Engineering in the Global Public Interest > UK Cell : +44 (0)7500 895568 Twitter/Skype/Gtalk: hexayurt > "In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was > in me an invincible summer" - Albert Camus > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "hexayurt" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/hexayurt > <http://groups.google.com/group/hexayurt>. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout > <https://groups.google.com/d/optout>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
