Burning Man 2023: How Getting Stuck in the Desert Changed My Life 

"Radical self-reliance" = bringing enough stuff to camp for a weekend.

Nice video. YOU get it. Adversity builds our community. Was my 20th burn and it was with great amusement I'd get on our camp's wifi and watch the world press LOSE THEIR MINDS over the "International Humanitarian Crisis" at burning man. Comedy gold. It rained. Then it dried out. Desert : ).

Love seeing virgins pick up the principles, even better when they survive the worst weather in over 20 years and want to come back.

Awesome you guys made the best of it! Maybe catchya there next year:)

Thank you for sharing. You showed a more real perspective and it looks like you had a great time. Glad you showed how community took care of each other and learned that. Those who made it sound like a disaster have no idea what burning man is all about.

Wonderful diary😊THANKS FOR SHARING!!! Instead of ‘in dust we trust,’ this year’s motto is ‘the mud was STUD’ see ya on the playa 24

Was my first burn too. Cool footage you managed to capture. My favorite sunrises ever.

Great vid. Was def learning about importance of community.

Great vid, really captured those moments. Burn on!

The news outlets portrayed this as a disaster after the rain , Looks like you all had a great time regardless my daughter was there as well said it was a blast !

Beautiful!!! I hope to one day experience the magic of Burning Man

By the way this makes a clue to my story as Paulo Coelho would write. "The god/s of thunder and storms may have come to greet you all". At least you don't take It as THE BAD weather. Rain Is still important for deserts too. Peace, love and understanding from Italy.

Beautiful!

Anybody who calls it a festival doesn't get it. It was never a national emergency. Radical self reliance. It wasn't a catastrophe. It was a rainstorm.

i can feel the love

Day 3 Ice Queen 🥶 look amazing!! A pure Anastasian Princess. Simply gorgeous girl!!

i love you and im so happy you made it home okay

9:36 "MONKEY!" lmfao "HE'S LIGHTIN UP" thanks for interviewing me. really enjoyed watching this, RIP Barbie bike.

супер!у нас тоже есть ЗОВ ПАРМЫ в периском крае!🎉

Thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤️

I finally agree with Paul Addis

❤❤❤

So fun

Got to B there 🎉

@9:45 is the first time I've seen/heard great music coming from the rides. Usually it's been elevator music which would be dissapoiting if I showed up. But I'm neither rich or cute. So I stay home instead.

helter-skelter in place!

Please leave the face glitter at home!

Why would need to "find" food? Were you not planning on being there for 7 to 10 days? I was there and when I heard that the news was saying we were "stranded with no food and water" it was laughable. We were fine. If you weren't fine, you did it wrong. Glad you had a great time.

I love your video. Completely different to the 'doom and gloom' the mainstream media were trying to portray.

Water added to dust makes wet clay! OMFG 🤦🏼‍♂️

These folk have no idea what real adversity is!

24th Burn - it was a wonderful time.

Clueless people remaining clueless. Vanity and self indulgence, that is what I learned from this video.

Давно уже наслышан об этом ежегодном мероприятии-фестивале Burning Man. Имею представление о происходящем там. И вообще не нахожу ни одной причины посетить его самому. Ничего меня туда не влечёт, не тянет, не манит. Эта тусовка точно не для всех, а для определённого склада людей, с определённым набором качеств характера. Burning Man конечно получил широкую известность, и даже за пределами США, но он никогда не станет всеобщим национальным праздником в стране, и уж тем боле во всём мире. Раньше было движение хиппи - и что? Разве все люди в мире стали хипстерами? Нет. Вот и это Burning Man останется лишь местом для сборища людей, которое даже и субкультурой то не назовёшь, каким-то движением, течением в обществе. Никакой философской, идеологической подоплёки он под собой не имеет. Какие идеи они пытаются донести обществу - развлекайся, наслаждайся праздностью, кайфуй в моменте и самовыражайся под воздействием наркотиков и алкоголя. Это уже было - секс, наркотики и рок-н-ролл. И это прямой путь к деградации личности и всего общества в целом. Именно поэтому этот кутёж люди могут себе позволить лишь один раз в году, и не более недели. Общество должно развиваться, а не разлагаться, духовно и интеллектуально. I have long heard about this annual event-festival, Burning Man. I have an idea of what is happening there. And in general I don’t find any reason to visit it myself. Nothing attracts me there, nothing pulls me, nothing attracts me. This party is definitely not for everyone, but for a certain type of people, with a certain set of character traits. Burning Man, of course, has become widely known, even outside the United States, but it will never become a universal national holiday in the country, much less throughout the world. There used to be a hippie movement - so what? Have everyone in the world become hipsters? No. So this Burning Man will remain only a place for a gathering of people, which cannot even be called a subculture, some kind of movement, trend in society. It does not have any philosophical or ideological background. What ideas are they trying to convey to society - have fun, enjoy idleness, get high in the moment and express yourself under the influence of drugs and alcohol. It already happened - sex, drugs and rock and roll. And this is a direct path to the degradation of the individual and the entire society as a whole. That is why people can afford this revelry only once a year, and no more than a week. Society must develop, not decay, spiritually and intellectually.

Burning never will be the same, a lot fake burners. Even mother nature was sick of these fake burners

I guess time to layout roads, camping sites and most important of all storm water drains so not to have a repeat of muddy events.

Burningman once was, now it's a commercial degenerate techno party like so many but have your dubious fun

A National emergency? Lmao. Nobody cared about you guys stuck out there. In fact I’m sure 300 million Americans we’re laughing and clapping.

Go to ukraine if u think this was bad lol

Thank you for ruining the desert. If you guys waited until the mud dried things would be great.

do you have instagram?

Ппп

Im feeling the idiocy
