Burning Man 2023 Aftermath 

Well, like they say, one stupid person will ruin it for the rest of us. Just in this case, it was thousands of stupid people. 👀

Well let’s just dispel the no trace theory, I’ve lost track of how many claiming it is back to normal.

Same story for me, normally leave Sunday afternoon, left Monday evening. The news definitely blew it out of proportion. The Resto crew has some contraptions they drag behind trucks to help even out ruts, so those will at least be mitigated, and then after a few big rains they should fade or disappear.

If only there was a way to predict the weather 😂

@@DoctorDugong21 that’s bullshit, flying over it is hardly a good judge of the damage. The deposit should be forfeited, a few big rains will likely take decades to occur and they will hardly disappear. The BLM gets incensed if you drive on freshly graded roads when wet, the ruts only disappear after extensive grading.

It gets and F

@@joshlegere..AN ‘F’. Totally agree..

Other than ruts, it looks really good! I am impressed.

what does black lives matter have to do with burning man?

@@m118lr Based on what ????? you are both idiot not Burners. We always fix the playa every year

good luck telling a woman to do anything.

@@Killswitch1411 Especially telling her to put her phone away.

I married a girl exactly like this princess. I thought it was cute at first, on phone all the time, cant do anything without coffee didn't remember anything we did together. Move on my man

Throw the phone out of the plane.

I find her voice nauseating.

💯 I'm pretty sure a lot of people have that problem.😂

buzz kill

That is the first thing that stood out to me first video she appeared in...

One day?

How about a hour?

sounds like some awesome memories

former A-10 weapons guy here. "Go Ugly Early"

I grew up similar....One time dad landed a rented Piper in our bottom land...Us kids got off the bus and took off with Dad. Our buddy said we "hit the trees taking off"

Spend any time in Tucson at Davis Monthan AFB?

My Mud is on FYRE!!

It had to be said

it's like motorcycle channels, beautiful scenery but they have the camera turned on them so you watch a helmet

And less talking from her. She mispronounces realtor.

I think she just likes to complain.

@@vipers8268 she definitely plays the roll of a trophy wife, always on her phone and seems like she would be happier shopping than flying!

​@@kevinsnyder333Yeah it might be time for an upgrade lol😂

they are both young.. but damn she hits a nerve, I've unfortunately dated similar girls and they were so obnoxious, princess attitude with no humility is a no go.. not saying she is, I just get that impression..

@@craigslist6988no you nailed it ! princess 👸 indeed. I couldn’t 👎🏻

Earth melt. Anyone whose built a bmx track knows it just melts back.

Yup I live in the Pacific Northwest where people are extremely environmentaly sensitive. I do construction so have to hear about it constantly but it's the same here that you can do extensive earth moving, vegetation disturbing, etc.... And in under a year you would never know anyone was there. The earth is really quite resilient and had an incredible ability to heal itself. Not saying we don't need to be responsible though I'm just saying it's not as delicate as some people think. I think it was made into a bigger deal at burning man since so many of the people that attend it are pretty extreme environmentalist that many people probably saw it as hypocritical

@@Dunriteproducts we live in the NE corner of WA and have a similar view point. Due to fires, we’re at much higher risk of neglect than we are of destructive use.

Living in the desert SW, it takes a little more wind and rain to get things back looking natural; and the rain is in short supply.

Is hot a lot of the year around there, and she don’t like flying up where it’s cold. Would LOOK cool tho. ~;D I suggest a “bump cap”, a light duty and slightly smaller version of hard hat. I picked up one at a yard sale, used it for several seasons tree planting. Cut away a lot of the dome, leaving the front high and the back somewhat high. The suspension (innards) lets air flow, except I used some kind of cloth (~bandana? -was ~20 yrs ago) in that space for Sun shield, and wet that for more cooling sometimes. I never have looked them up, but I’d guess they are still a thing. Probably available in many colours, and you could turn them around on the suspension if so desired (have seen this with regular hard hats); not my thing). Cheers from Edmonton AB.

Then she could find something else to complain about. Beta boy loves to solve all her super special needs. Yuk... won't be back

Probably wouldn't help...

No, she needs a helmet because her head is already barely functioning. Listen to her talk

@@rustincole_w1339 .....Don't be an Ass, Hailey is a wonderful Lady and supports her husband, you would be so lucky..................................

To much time on your hands can lead to over thinking a problem..* some people work beat at quick high pressure situations. I make most my bad decisions in life when I wait and think on it to long. Gut decisions work faster and work out.

@@notfamouschristopher Yeah it's clear you're not adding much to a situation with your thoughts....

Yeah, good to see an update. "Ruts and footprints" look significant, but they truly aren't. The next time it rains, that entire playa will have a couple inches of water, again. All that dust will level out.

@@drutterThe ruts and footprints will be gone within a few weeks, there's still hundreds of employees and volunteers working out there on restoration. The BLM's final inspection isn't until October.

What is BLM in this context? Sorry for maby stupid question but I'm not Yankee:]

@@jaktam4133the fed govt agency bureau of land management.

@@jaktam4133 Bureau of Land Management.

3 days work is what I'm seeing.

@@S0ulinth3machin3 jesus your dense, not every worker is going to be working from start to finish, he didn't say it would only take 3 days. The inspection is in October for a reason

@@pulse3732 that wasn't my claim. There are 2 windows for volunteer shifts available right now and they are both for 3 days. The windows are separated by 4? days. All I was saying was the volunteer shifts were for 3 days of work (not 2). Any other meaning was added by your brain, not mine.

Agreed, ditch the co pilot.

Yea, sounds like she doesn't even want to fly with so many complaints.

I know that too well, have been landsailing on the black rock desert for 30 years. It's getting worse every year. So rough.

@@eddwil7 it will be a disaster now

I was there every day.

I was there too, and afterwards they had it posted up at the Peppermill hotel. What a sight to see in person. ❤

@john-martin Yes, looking back, I realize how historical that event was.

Oh that's cool. I didn't know they rotated locations each year. That's good land management.

Plow the paya? I cant imagine how much diesel that will take.

@@daurieschwartz4189 its for the environment hahaha

@@jouleSansLoi They don't, the site is well-established with roads they have used for two decades. There's no rotation.

Not true for the playa. A set of ruts won't make it a season or as it self-levels through the winter wet and summer dry cycle. Oregon Trail ruts are on a very different type of soil.

Yep they’re still there.

Yep, they can get those graded flat at the same time....😅

Applegate trail, from the1850s and yes they are still there...

In the desert that was used for Shermans tanks during WWII the tracks are still there. 75 years later and they stick out.

No true. We have ruts on Alvord 8 years old that haven’t healed. More Shallow than the ones in this video.

Yep! as a local I would know, cant stand burners or burning man, go away and never come back.

sad

Not to mention orgies, drugs, and idol worship in the desert is really, really weird.

Yeah what about all the other prestine landscapes that have been changed forever? Probably including the house and community you live in, and the shopping center where you buy groceries. And the farms where those groceries come from. And the trash dump where all your garbage goes. Give me a break.

@@chrisdrake7849 Must be rough. A MAGA man like yourself probably rarely sees any liberals or progressives.

So will a few rains. It's literally a lake bed.

There are videos from the past cleanings - showing something similar to an usual rotating brush street cleaner in work.

@@jameshoiby yep, people just looking for something to be mad at as usual

Trent was there a video coming out about the apron?

There was not a video about the apron yet. I think he wanted to get the burning man videos out while the topic was still fresh.

My wife prefers flying low too. No amount of explanation about "Altitude is Safety" helps. 🤪

If you look from Satellite images you can see the overlapping sites from years past.. Its not always in the same exact location. They move it around a bit and let the playa heal over time.

Shut just check in 2 weeks. It will be damn near unnoticeable from the landscape. Still have to water spray and drag the ground

Ha I just commented, wondering if plowing the whole area might help. Good to hear.

They do damn good work

This is a disgrace and BM should be banned

wy? they put it back 100% every single year....sounds like you just want to stop people from having fun and take away their freedom.@@joshlegere

The inspection standard every year is that we are not allowed more than one square foot of debris per every acre. So we need to be between 0-0.002% to pass. Trust that we are being thorough, resto is doing an amazing job and has been for the past 20+ years 🙏🏽

True, in most cases.... unless you have a fire.

Ive fallen alot further with only minor inuries except for a broken Coxxyx

@@anthonydewitt7674 Replace the 10 feet I quoted with 30. 30 feet of altitude is nothing to a plane, but falling from a 3rd floor window? Ouch. The argument still stands

That will never happen . Everyone doesn't think the same.😇

As soon as you admit that cities are also a bad idea. It’s a dry lake bed the next rain will level it again like it has for centuries. Burning Man org always gets the playa back to the way it was, the BLM makes sure of it.

@@USAMontanan blm =BABIES LIVES MATTER. DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR BLM IS BUT THATS MINE.

Nice try 😂

It's majority owned by GOOGLE, lol. We all fall for scams from time to time.

What a shame that you would let some others impact your personal life and choices to enjoy yourself there. This was my second year, completely changed my life for the better✌️

It would be difficult at times to enjoy without noticing the human shortcomings. I would want the positive to be the larger take away overall. Humans are the dirtiest living creature on this planet, bar none. After one gets that filed way back in the mind then just enjoy and try to be responsible and accountable for yourself. We cannot vouch for others. I have tried over my entire life to be the guardian of our species in such that I care and have tried picking up after those that do not envision as I. At this point in life now, I have run out of patience in so much that caring has definitely left me. I am a very patient individual but, out of anything that will boil that is simply....human ignorance & stupidity. Part of this is how I am feverishly taxed and yet have no say about where that goes and those that evade the responsibility when being apart of this race.

Maybe half were fake clean responsible people and the true ones were trashy

Just the normal progression of things.

Pikes Peak isn’t a dry lake bed, you don’t know what you’re talking about. The usual winter snow and rains will level once again like it has for centuries.

Mahalo to you and Maui. Come next year if you can, i missed 22-23 but my camp will be back in 24

Yeah me too. Hopefully it will dispel the negative press that it will never be the same again. Mother nature has a way or proving you wrong.

that would make for a good project, get a definitive baseline on the restorative effects of time & weather.

Looks like a Polar Pro ND filter. They make great filters. No Idea about his gear, Nikon guy myself.

@@B00stedGD The current lens I am running is a 35mm f1.4 by fuji. Requires a 52mm with a pitch of .75 filter, so I am guessing I would need an adapter ring of some sort?

I don’t believe PolarPro makes a filter that small. Check them out and if nothing Is available, Keep them In mind for your next glass.

I’m shooting on the XH2S, and this was with the 16-55mm 2.8 with a polarpro variable ND on the front

@@TrentonPalmer Thank you so much! I really appreciate the response. I might just have to get that lens now lol. I generally stick to primes, but I really want to get a good zoom lens and those shots were amazing.

Yeah really. I hope he is going to do an episode about the final Reno air show.

@@TrentonPalmer_ Unlucky scammer.

Since the what? You kinda forgot the rest of your sentences 😂

Abolish administrative judges.

He never stopped being able to fly. The case is still ongoing.

I am not a burner myself, but I have no problem with what they support. And they clean-up after themselves a hell of a lot better then most festival goers. As for some bad apples, every crowd has them, and they are usually revealed about the time stuff hits the fan. What I am surprised about are how many knuckle draggers there are posting negative comments about the festival on Trent's previous videos.

@@charlesmartin1121 I missed that, but have seen a plethora of neg comments from people that know absolutely nothing. When Katrina hit, Burners Without Borders were there before anyone, and that happened during the event. BTW, we are not a festival. We are a 100% participation event, spectators are not welcome.

@@deanaoxo Alright. Event not a festival. Check.

FYI… For a catalytic converter to become plugged with mud, that mud would first have to pass through the intake air box, intake filter, intake valves, then be compressed within the cylinders, detonated, then pushed out of the exhaust valves and into the exhaust system where the catalytic converter is. The engine would stall well before that could possibly happen.

@@Boroffski if the mud was plugging the tailpipe, that's all that it would take to make the converter to cook

@@raymondpaulin2541 With all due respect… If the tailpipe were plugged, the car would stall out well before the converter could heat up to those dangerous temps. Don’t believe me, try it for yourself. I’ve been building vehicles to play in the mud since I was a teen in the early 90’s and what you’re suggesting is merely imaginative and not reality. I have 20+ years of experience actually doing this on the regular. It’s a lot of fun, I suggest you give it a try. 🍻
