Lag bolts, technically called lag screws, are the most effective way to secure anything to the playa. Don't bring rebar into camp. We don't have hammers to pound it in or tools to remove it, and it's a safety hazard. Last year we drove in over 200 lag bolts to secure camp infrastructure.

If you have a 3/8" or 1/2" impact driver please bring it. You will need need a 9/16" socket for 3/8" lag bolts, and a 3/4" socket for 1/2" lag bolts.

We have a huge supply of lag bolts paid for by camp dues. If you only need a few to secure your tent you are welcome to borrow some of ours for the event.
