title: 'Burning Man Evaporative Cooler'
description: "When I'm at Burning Man, I typically stay up until after sunrise. Then, knowing that I'll be doing the same all week, I want to get a good sleep. During the day, sleeping in a tent is like sleeping in a sauna, even with a shade structure. This little solar swamp cooler chills the space enough for me to get a good rest. Swamp coolers or Evaporative coolers only work well in hot, dry environments."
