| − | Camp size: 27 | + | Camp size: 34 |
| | | | |
| − | == What Went Well == | + | == Early Arrival == |
| | | | |
| − | * Lag bolts are unstoppable. Certainly the hardest working thing in camp. | + | * Pack items at the back of the truck: |
| − | * EA (7 people) got an unusual amount of work done pre-event. Likely because of the lag bolts. | + | ** gas canisters |
| − | * Bigger dome, new (slumber) dome were well received | + | ** water containers |
| − | * Offering went off without a hitch | + | ** tools |
| − | * More people playing their own music than previous years | + | ** EA food |
| − | * Camp cohesion was good, but need to balance this with growth | + | * Shopping lists need to include non-food items like: |
| − | * Impact drivers were great for dome setup, but consider using drill to avoid shearing bolts | + | ** Four 8' 2"x4" lumber for evap pond |
| − | * Piano and live music for the first time, excellent addition to the lounge | + | *** Note that we saved these this year (2016), so maybe check the unit before buying new lumber |
| | + | ** Paper towels |
| | + | ** Trash bags |
| | + | ** Burnable bags |
| | + | ** Propane canisters |
| | + | * Kitchen hat should really, really be EA |
| | | | |
| − | == What Went Badly == | + | == Kitchen == |
| | | | |
| − | * Move to yurts was logistically difficult - let everyone be responsible for their own housing/sleeping arrangements
| + | * Need more seating/benches |
| − | * Yurt placement needs to be included in layout, avoid chaotic yurt favelas
| + | * Consider higher tables for prep surfaces to make cutting easier |
| − | * Many late membership changes, consider changing membership model
| + | * 4-5 items per recipe MAX - anything more will need to be self-sourced |
| − | * Ran out of space in (26') truck, storage unit nearly at capacity
| + | * Have exceeded one Costco-size paper towel - probably need two for next year |
| − | ** Need new storage for 2018 if we want to grow at all
| + | * Probably need to increase # of Arctica ice bags per shift |
| − | * WWW scheduling fail
| + | * New freezer/fridge probably needed at this point |
| − | * Bike racks continue to be a joke
| + | * Camp cooler for personal items? (Beer, juice, etc. etc.) |
| − | * Mixer needs some love - diagnose mysterious intermittent hum
| + | * More hot sauce!!! |
| − | * Few people contributing to arts and events, many contributing to camp logistics
| |
| − | * Few events as compared to previous years, less off-playa event planning
| |
| − | * [[Radio Free Ian]] needs a bigger audience

| − | == Hat-specific Notes ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Power ===
| |
| − | * Need more lights, especially on the front of the house | |
| − | ** NB: power hat is de facto lighting hat
| |
| − | * Charging station in kitchen is kind of a mess
| |
| − | * More general-purpose power cords
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Water ===
| |
| − | * Fix broken gasket on hose nozzle
| |
| − | * Need to clean totes in storage, possibly right before 2018 event
| |
| − | * Water planning should account for heat; 2G/p/d for EA before shade cloth is up
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Build and infrastructure ===
| |
| − | * Philips is for suckers, move to square drive
| |
| − | ** Note that we are certain to break screws in combination with impact drivers
| |
| − | * 200 bungee balls wasn't enough somehow, get 200 more
| |
| − | * Need more grommets per shade cloth edge, likely to be a big project
| |
| − | * Consider 12' conduit for front of house
| |
| − | * Tool organization is weak, consider getting an actual toolbox
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Layout ===
| |
| − | * Consider putting kitchen against truck
| |
| − | * Prepare multiple layouts, take direction of sun into account
| |
| − | * Open walkway along kitchen (one cell wide) was helpful
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Kitchen ===
| |
| − | * Freezer replacement was a wild success. Consider replacing the fridge now. | |
| − | * Personal cooler space in the kitchen was well received
| |
| − | * Maybe get a produce box
| |
| − | * Regulate freezer temperature somehow
| |
| − | * Improve knife organization
| |
| − | * Get giant ziplock bags for ice to preserve meltwater
| |
| − | * Need colander, knife sharpener (or new knives), pot holders
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Lounge ===
| |
| − | * 5-man shifts were a good idea | |
| − | * Consider doing a PM tea (or other non-hookah) shift
| |
| − | * Some requests for plastic tips for hookahs
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Eco ===
| |
| − | * Get more paper towels, one costco-sized pack doesn't quite cut it
| |
| − | * Add labels to trash can lids
| |
| − | * Get a rake for some reason
| |
| − | * Recycling bags need to be 20G and blue, not 18G and not-blue
| |
| − | ** Trash is 33G though | |
| − | * It would be great if eco hat were responsible for going to the dump
| |
| − | * Consider finding a dump site closer to Gerlach, Reno dump site takes a long time and makes recycling difficult
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Trucking and logistics ===
| |
| − | * Think long and hard before using u-haul again, make sure cleaning and overage are explicit in contract
| |
| − | * Find a source for exodus wait times, maybe leaving at 4AM and nearly killing ourselves on the road every year isn't such a good idea
| |
| − | * We need 3 - 9 new clear plastic bins, consider replacing all bins | |
| − | ** Says Ian | |
| − | | |
| − | === Etc. ===
| |
| − | * Checklists save lives | |
| − | ** Says Ian
| |
| − | * It's probably time for new blackboards
| |
| − | * Digital organization could be better (except for the wiki, which -- obviously -- is wonderful). Consider google org.
| |
| − | * Shower is on its last legs | |
| − | * Check in again on org-run shipping container waitlist
