Santa is giving the barn away.

Fifteen years of burns. Shutting down Camp Decentral and selling off the gear, one very full barn in Rochester. Pick up only. I want you to come say Hi and leave with a Smile and a bunch of good stuff that will make your burn a better experience!

The hexayurt set up on playa, silver panels and pyramid roof

The Hexayurt

Extra thick 2-inch panels, 6 ft walls you can stand up in, about 166 sq ft. Used exactly once, and the inventor of the hexayurt helped with the build and gave his blessing. "By far the most comfortable I had been" in 8 burns.

The barn isn't even the half of it

Want to start a camp?

I have a whole semi-trailer full of burn gear stored near the playa. A ready-made camp in a box, and next year I'll help you build it.

Everything inside was tested and functional when it was stored in 2025. The shade structure alone is one of the largest things you can spot in the aerial footage of Burning Man, and that's just the start: a geodesic dome with green cover, 4 aluminet setups, 22 carports with tarps and stakes, 15 air conditioners, 15 evap coolers, plenums and ducting, a serious pile of tools, 30 free-standing bike racks, kitchen gear for 100 people, box fans, flood lights, rope lights, tables, storage bins, and the storage trailer itself. About $100,000 of gear at replacement value, sold together as one package: you get the back end of a semi as a ready-made storage solution and a camp's whole skeleton.

The deal comes with me: I'll help you start the camp, come to playa next year to help build it and teach you how, and I have instructions for everything. Ask Santa for the full inventory sheet.
