Points scored for getting there cheaply.
Just weird enough, build your shelter and let be be finale of seem with the thought in mind that seem is seemly enough to be inviting. Pat people on the head. Be nice or leave, all that.
And for my UK folks, we can compare notes.

[DrBob, Feb 18 2011] MAKE IT SO-- MaxwellBuchanan, Feb 13 2011 I propose North Carolina as a location.-- DIYMatt, Feb 14 2011 Idaho-- afinehowdoyoudo, Feb 14 2011 The Earth's core?-- DrBob, Feb 14 2011 [+] ...in the parking lot of The Church of No Pants!-- xandram, Feb 14 2011 Burning stuff [+]-- 8th of 7, Feb 14 2011 We should have the US one in Lewes, and the UK one in Hell, Michigan.
Or if centrality is your aim, howabout Iceland?-- RayfordSteele, Feb 14 2011 Would it only get half-burnt?-- xandram, Feb 14 2011 Obviously I don't get out enough: I can see English words arranged in forms of sentences, but they don't make any sense...-- Ling, Feb 14 2011 You're on the wrong page, [ling]. That one you're looking at is the U.S. 2011-2012 budget proposal.-- 8th of 7, Feb 14 2011 It had better be less than $320-- Ling, Feb 14 2011 sp.

I second that emotion.-- MikeD, Feb 15 2011 North Carolina *IS* a location. It's right above South Carolina.-- xandram, Feb 15 2011 But is it flammable ?-- 8th of 7, Feb 15 2011 Yes. Thanks to kudzu, it'll grow right back tomorrow.-- RayfordSteele, Feb 16 2011 Interesting idea. To stay true to the burning man approach, the majority of people should bring half-baked creations. And a lot of beer.-- AutoMcDonough, Feb 17 2011 The flammability of soil is described with an index of drought, the KBDI. Linked is a recent map of relative humidity in the US used to generate KBDI numbers. As you can see North Carolina is quite moist this time of year.Also attached is a recent temperature map of the US. Please note that North Carolina is quite below ignition temperature."Ah!", I hear you say, "but what about flammable chemicals that may dry and ignite the state?" If you'll grant that any spill of sufficient magnitude as to cause significant risk of flammability will be designated a cause for alarm by the government (A "superfund" site) you'll accept the linked list of superfund sites to be a comprehensive survey of every such danger. While there are many serious problems on this list, not one of them has the enormous scale as to present significant risk. In short, North Carolina is not flammable.-- Voice, Feb 18 2011 Therefore, the halfbaked challenge: what's the (quickest | cheapest | easiest | most surprising) method of making North Carolina flammable?-- lurch, Feb 18 2011 Strip-mining of coal ?

Then light the methane.-- RayfordSteele, Feb 18 2011 Cats.-- 8th of 7, Feb 18 2011 I'm afraid the evidence is that cats are self extinguishing, and therefore not a good choice.-- MechE, Feb 18 2011 Admittedly my cat only walked into a candle once or twice, so my results aren't exactly rigorous.-- MechE, Feb 18 2011 The hiring of a sufficient number of prostitutes, gluttons, couch potatoes, raging basement dwellers, narcissists, and scrooges and the emigration of said sinners to North Carolina may raise the number of sins to a level high enough to trigger the apocalypse and start a statewide inferno.-- Voice, Feb 18 2011 // my results aren't exactly rigorous. //
We agree; a claasic example of poor technique.
We will be delighted to demonstrate the correct way to do it.-- 8th of 7, Feb 18 2011 random, halfbakery
