Well, you cant say I'm not true to my word. (http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21748&view=findpost&p=226038) I'll be attending Burning man in a few weeks so I thought I'd jump on good ol' SAB to see if there are any of you who; are also attending, or have any advice for a first time burner. I present you with my shopping list: Water Food Booze Kites Toilet paper Goggles Bandanas Sunnies Sunscreen Lolipops Playing cards Laser pointers Fireworks Costumes <----(ideas go here) LED throwies Face Paint/Body Paint Dust Masks Phone Card Portable Shower Passport Bikes (with Lights) Labeler (to label all our stuff) Ear Plugs I'll be packing all this crap in a GMC safari van (i'm buying in the next few days) and jamming on down to Nevada from my place in Vancouver, stopping in Portland on the way. So guys and gals, is tere anything you'd ad to my list? Im thinking So SAB members, is there anything you'd ad to the list? Is there any advice you'd give to assist my survival?

No.. Anyone can buy a ticket. However.. If you want to join a camp you must be invited (to the camp).

What would you suggest I bring for gifts? The best advice I've had so far is to simply bring everything you'd want for yourself x 2

The less info you find the more likely it is that this is in fact complete bullshit. Do i even have to point this out?? If this were even remotely true you'd have some journal articles on it.

Must haves in my kit: L-tyrosine (for the day after) 5-HTP (ditto) Milk Thistle extract (for the liver, especially good if you've been drinking) Berocca Tiger balm Also even though you might not want to, eating something will usually leave you feeling better for it.

Nice shots Mayo, Any chance i could get the first one in a little higher rez? I'd like it for my wallpaper.

I love that photo.. new desktop. Thanks!

For those who missed it (like me) http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2010/s2913158.htm

Subs for sure.

Sounds like you're onto a winner but I'd still be hesitant. Spore prints should be the next step. But seriously DONT CONSUME. Hunt down a camera! Another test.. Dry the suckers out. Chop a a small section of the material and chuck it in boiling water.. let it leech whatever goodies its has into the water and wait 6 hours the liquid should turn a nice shade of blue. But still.. photos..

WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THOSE!

I whole heartedly agree with your thoughts on subs and graffiti visions. I find its either that or scenes of gore and horror coupled with metal. This also always seems to happen in the last hour of really feeling the shrooms.. they can permeate for a few hours after the euphoria and head fucked feelings have worn off. Makes for an interesting time sleeping. I tend to tell whats left of the shrooms to "bring it on and show me everything" i always wake up feeling amazing.

Nice pics Husk.. the photophile in me is wondering what camera/lens you took those on.. care to enlighten me?

Russula sp. If you`re looking for A. Muscaria look under pines.

Thats fucking scary man.. especially since most n00bies will be using bruising as their primary (and quite often ONLY) indicator.

IMHO Subs are FAR FAR more colourful than cubes. I have experienced a blackout(esque) situation once. Not really involuntary though it was more like the shrooms suggested i liedown and close my eyes. I liken it to a ketamine style out of body trip accompanied by the kaleidescope of fractals. The other thing i feel is worth mentioning is the almost instant comedown from subs (5 - 10 mins). That and the day after, for some reason i tend to feel awesome for some reason.. not hungover at all. But yeah.. definitely not suitable for a party situation. Nature, warmth, good friends and good tunes. Whats everyones perspective on the pros/cons of day-tripping vs. night-tripping?

Hey guys! I'm moving my ass to Canada at the end of the year and on the way over I'm spending a 2 months in S/E Asia. Does anyone have any travel advice, must see atractions, awesome activities or stuff to steer clear of? I land in Phuket on the 27th of October so I was thinking of doing the full moon party. Then North and across to Laos, Down to Cambodia and back up the east coast of Vietnam. I fly out of Hong Kong to Vancouver to conclude my holiday. What do you reckon, I have two months.. nothing is set in stone except my two flights. What would you do?

Hello fellows, Just thought i'd drop a line and give my 2 cents after traveling SE asia for the last 5 months. The top 5 places to visit: 1. Vang Vieng (Laos)- get there before it gets fucked by the government, apparently the new govenor is some old school army type who is cracking down on the somewhat festive nature of the town. 2. Port Barton (Philippines) Fantastic place. The Philippine way of life takes a few days to get used to but once you do you fall back into a beautiful land of waterfalls, isolated islands and jungle trails. Its a time vacuum. 3. Ko Tao (Thailand) As close to paradise as you can get. Seriously, white sandy beaches, crystal blue water, pristine marine life, loads of beautiful women (Thai and western). 4. Da Lat (Vietnam) Wicked mountains, GO CANYONING HERE!! 5. Phi Phi island (Thailand) You may have heard that it's been ruined by tourism but in all honesty it still has the best snorkeling you can find right off the beach. Make sure you stay OUTSIDE of Phi Phi town though, try long beach, its cheaper and you can see white tip reef sharks right off your back porch. Ohh and if you're going to the full moon party, do yourself a MASSIVE favor; STAY OFF KO PHANGAN!! cannot stress this enough. Sooooooo many peoples bungalows get robbed during the full moon (mine included). The ferry starts really early in the morning so you dont have to be sleeping at the dock for hours, you can just go back to Samui or Tao, to your nice comfy (cheap and safe) bed in the morning. Good luck everyone, "seasons greetings" wink wink Spoony

Hey guys, SWIM just got back from a hunt with some samples from a patch he found (rather big patch apparently). He would have picked the lot but he was uncertain of the ID, so being the good mate i am i decided to throw them your way to get our suspicions confirmed. The two large ones in the first image are from the first patch and the second lot, the smaller ones were found seperately. I was a little iffy about the ID because of the colour of the cap, a little too beige for my liking, although there was blueing present on both the stem and cap. They're being printed as i speak so i'll post the print pics tomorrow if a conclusive ID cant be made from these piccies. Cheers!!

Hey guys, There was a report on The Js yesterday afternoon that I think you should all hear WMP (Streaming): http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/mod_windows/thu.asx MP3 (Download): http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/podcast/thursday.htm The story follows a young girl named Mel who has been hearing a voice in her head since she was in her teens. The voice tells her his name is Ron. Ron is systematically breaking her down, turning her into a shattered being. She occasionally sees Ron manifest himself visually and she claims he is a spirit. It goes without saying that she is in a tragic situation dealing with this demon its amazing that she's made it this far but as you can tell by her voice she is a very scared, broken young lady. There is a follow up with a slide show here http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/notes/s2675907.htm Thoughts? Comments?
