VIRGIN BURNING MAN GUIDE (Tickets, Cost, Camp, Preparation) 

I am one of the bus drivers, that provide service for the Burner Express. We pick up Burners at the Reno Airport, and drive them to the Playa. It is an elite assignment, as you do NOT want to send a rookie driver to the Playa, with all the things that can go wrong on the trip. (ie sandstorms, accidents, drunken and drugged drivers etc) I feel we drivers have the best of both worlds because we get to meet Burners from all around the World, when they are full of energy to get to the Playa. Then we pull you out after you are exhausted and get you to the airport safely, to get home. In between, we go back to civilization to reset, but we get that daily connection. I'll be there for 2023, my seventh burn as a Burner Express driver.

I get so nervous as a veteran burner watching these videos, but you did a great job - especially as first timers - explaining the wonder of the event in combination with the preparation. Its the hardest vacation you will ever love! Thank you for explaining immediacy to others, its my favorite principle and probably the hardest one to accept, but such a key part of your burn. I'm so glad you enjoyed your time!

This is the best video I've ever seen about preparing for and experiencing Burning Man. I've been wanting to go, but it all felt so daunting. Now I think I can do it. Thank you so much!

You two seem like the sweetest, most genuine people. Thank you for sharing this incredibly useful information within a super well thought out video.

I lived in San Francisco in the late 90's and went out to the clubs, the experience where the DJ is right in front of you was one I'll never forget. Being able to reach across the turntables and shake their hand was quite cool. I miss those days but I feel blessed to have experienced it at all.

hands down the best burning man guide. i've watched several and never heard about camps or camp fees. thanks!

I want to go so bad!!! I am typically defined as a “red neck” type of feller although I am not. I recently went to a local springs campground here in Florida and totally random there was a rave going on. This happened to be my first experience with mushrooms as well. The amount of different and unique things and people was mind blowing. Everyone having the best of times, totally free beside the camping. Makes me want to do it every weekend!!! At first I felt totally out of place with my “appearance” but then quickly felt at home dancing and laughing with all the awesome strangers I met and it was just a beautiful time!!

Absolutely awesome video! BM has been on my bucket list for the past 20 years, and I now have a target of 2026 for my 50th birthday. Thank you for all the great insight.

Where's the band from titanic when you need them 🎻 🎶

I enjoyed watching this. Thanks for not only going through all the practical steps but also sharing how it feels and what the best way to approach something outside the normal comfort zone of most folks.

Didn't feel like a 20 mins + video. Super interesting and informative.

I am going to my 1st Burning Man this year. Thank you so much for this video. It was extremely helpful.

Excellent job! Most people only give an equipment list, and leave out the emotional prep and experience. Your explanation was "truer" than nearly any i have seen. ❤ Zyg, esplanade theme camp core team and BORG volunteer, 10+ years. I missed this year, and i keep telling people "the rain would have been AMAZING to experience!" Hope you do well on your way out.

as some who has never been & wants to go, out of all the videos this was the best breakdown!! thank you!

the umbrella being packed is lowkey funny in retrospect

Trying to go this year and we are first timers so I'm very happy we've encountered with your channel :) thanks for all the valuable information!

Thanks for your honest approach and thoughtful descriptions. Great instructional video and fun tour. You answered many of my questions.

Thank you for sharing all of this incredible and precious information. A must-see for anyone who intends to have a Burning Man Experience!

Thank you for all of this information! This video was the most informative one out there! Thanks again for taking the time ❤

This is the first time I've heard about this on the news about people stuck there.

Hi! you made this so interesting and informative. Thank goodness you mentioned things about water, and electrolytes, its critical for some people in temperature swing types of climates. Keep them coming! Im so happy for you, that you got to go and your DREAMS came true!

Great video! Your approach was so unique and I learned so much. I didn’t realize the association with the camps or the offerings, I now feel I have a lot to do before I ever go.

this was the first time i have ever seen a practical guide on burning man ! THANK YOU

This interview is exceptional! So inspiring, fun and emotionally moving. Jhud’s show is the happy place! ❤

This was such an amazing "tour" of the event with such great advice. I hope to follow your other adventures. If you are there now, I hope you get out of the mud okay!

Hi guys, this is an awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing, you've done a wonderful job. Love the noodles story - what you seek, is also seeking you

Thank you guys for presenting such an informative data about the Burning Man. It had been in my bucket list since last 5 years and had been unable to get information as to how to visit that place, since I am from Toronto and very few people are aware of this B/M. Again thanks a lot for all the information and specially the Spread Sheet.😊

Thank you so much for this video! I’m stoked for my first burn in 2023 and this eased some of the anxieties I’ve been feeling as I prepare.

Really great video, thank you! You all are great!

2023 Burning Man gave Woodstock vibes. Great video, you both provided more answers to any question I could have had. Quite relatable on the diversity aspect.

Awesome video!! Well rounded. Thank u!!

Great video on preparing!! Great job!

This was sooo interesting and informative! I'm very intrigued by Burning Man, but have no plans to go. I enjoyed just learning sooo much about it! Fascinating!

thank you for sharing !! this was very helpful :)

Great detail...I enjoyed your BM video !! Thanks :)

well this is something i never knew existed but now have to add to my bucket list amazing breakdown! great video

Very nice video! Thank you

Thank you, This video was awesome. Burning Man is on my bucket list.😊

Going to BM is one of my dreams, thanks for the info, it's very useful, I'll save this for when I get to go!

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing. I have been wanting to go for years, but this is the first time I have a connection. Wish me luck with tickets! I have submitted my app to volunteer for 3 camps and hope one can use me!

Love this so much. Please make another video at your next Burning Man. Be great to see how you go 💚 Much love xo

BOTH OF YOU, DID A PHENOMENAL JOB OF EXPLAINING EVERYTHING👏👏 THANK YOU Darla Berg 🥰🥰

Fantastic video! So glad y'all had a great time. If you come back to Black Rock City this year come on by Anonymous Village and yourself some coffee and snacks and hang out; would love to meet you both!

I have always wanted to go to Burning Man. I need to go now after watching this video! You guy are great and from now one I will be following your adventures!

Great Job with your video, you kind of said it all.

Great detailed video. I hope that you could attend in 2023, especially since the weather is so much cooler than in 2022. ❤ this video is so good, passing this onto my daughter that works for BM.

Omfg so happpy for this im Indian and loved this to see i plan to go thank u. Burning man fan since tje start

Hi I was waiting for this video on Burning Man…. Absolutely amazing information

Great video! I found myself wanting to hit Like so many times. But I'd already liked it!!! I've been 8 times, but not in five years. This year is a last-minute fortunate set of circumstances to go! So I'm in the final stages of packing and heading out. You hit on so many aspects. Most I'd already planned for, but several I'd totally forgot. And you show innovative solutions. Thank You for the very relevant traveling distance / time maps you snap shotted. I screen shot each of them. It puts things into so much better perspective for me. I had general distances in my mind, but not specifics, and the math out there of how far it is to walk circuitous routes really adds up. Seeing the times really shot things into perspective. ( I've been 8 times and occasionally misplace or have had my bike taken.). So I've walked Plenty. It's super rewarding either mode of transport, but tradeoffs. For instance: After Temple Burn, A walk into Deep Playa and then back to the city edge (the wrong city edge during a nighttime dust storm, respective to my camp) and then walk circularly through an outer street back to camp. When many street signs are missing, feeling lost, and making mistakes. With dust swirling and no stars to guide... No wonder I was exhausted. I figure that was at least 8 miles that I hadn't planned for... That was in the before times for me, before smart phone & apps, and I didn't even have a compass. Anyway, Thank You. Great video.

This is the first time I come to know beyond traveling Nice information 🙏

Thank you, your great loved your video's!!

I thank you wholeheartedly for showing us all your experican you wear on your sleeves. This is most certainly from the heart. God bless and good luck too. I will be attending next year. Peace vf

Great vid! Looking forward to your insights and hacks after this year's, Soak vs Burn. Heavy rain and cold are becoming more and more common and it looks like you could do another detailed round on expertly dealing with those realities! Learning to be humble and respectful while surrendering yourself to the power of Nature is the penultimate set of skills, especially on the playa. The conditions are only going to become exponentially more dramatic and drastic as crowds increase by tenfold each year and as the climate continues to attempt to address our relentless demands vs responsible stewardship.

Super cool guys❤❤❤ loved it , You just walked us too smooth. I was so serious that i started wondering different ways to get those tickets😅

Amazing and very informative video!

Great Video and content.

Thank you, couple, for all the tour!❤ I love India, and it's smart and nice people. 🎉❤

Thank you for that awesome video. This is a good description of what to expect for a good prep for Burning Man. I wish I had a video like this when I first went to burning man.

Very informative! So much to know and learn and you explained it well- thanks.

You two just made me miss the burn so much. I hope to take my mini out there next year or the year after.

Thank you so much for this video, it’s gonna be first time for me and I’ll be alone without any camping 😄 I hope I can do that 🤍

Thanks for sharing liked & subbed :)

Well with 70,000 stranded in the mud I think you should add survival skills as well. LOL and pack plenty of food and water.😊

Very very cool. I worked with a girl several years ago, who gifted me this gorgeous dry flower wreath and upon dropping it off to my place in Travis Heights, told me she had just gotten back from Burning Man and I really should go. She emphasized I should really go, never forgot that, or her. 2007 I think. Love your video~fantastic. I was watching the night light display and thought, well, obviously that’s why there has been such an uptake of alien visitation 🤣. Thank you for so much fun!

Glad to see more brown burners. See you on playa!

Well done. It was both interesting and informative.

Extremely well done video. Really enjoyed it. I think the price is well worth it. Living in Kingston Ontario...not sure how I would proceed to go. Drive down...or fly down. Thanks again for the entertainment.

Looks fun. I think it would be nice if there were sponsorships for low income attendees to truly make it inclusive.

Nice ❤🎉

Thanks!

Thanks so much

Thanks for the info my friend and I are driving from Toronto this year you had lots of good stuff to think about

THANK YOU for making this ♥️♥️♥️

my heart mind and soul will be wth you❤

Very nice and informative video thank You

BM is camping with friends old & new in the desert. If possible, make a school bus RV, and get a good adult tricycle to get around.

16:33 is such a profound statement 👑 thank you

LOL‼️ I think you may need to revamp the guide‼️🤗 LMAO Bless y'all's hearts 💕

EXCELLENT VIDEO GUYS!!!! Absolutely would love to be your friend haha, much love! Great Job again. I'm glad you had a blast tho and can't wait to experience it by myself

i completely felt it when you said : the past 7 years!!! every year i say the same to me during the past 10

This was a great breakdown. Thank you for sharing. Would love to definitely go with you with a bollywood theme (food/music) camp!!

Thank you for sharing. Great info and great video.

Awesome video - well done. I just converted my van (to campervan) and wondered why many rental companies would not rent to BM participants ... apparently due to dust getting into everything? I never really knew that BM was such a major event - frankly it seems kinda overwhelming but what an experience!

Thanks for making this video, super informative ❤

Thanks so much for this vid . Any tips on finding a camp to join?

Wow dreamy ❤🎉

Great video guys! One of my favorites on your channel. Is all the drone footage filmed by Kartik? I can't believe you flew a drone in low visibility. Very impressive

When you said the city is arranged like a clock it reminded me of the arena in the second book of hunger games lol

I saw some serial is running in the backend.😀 Super unique video and content

great video....thank you!!!!!

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!! I preparing for my first Burn at age 64. many of these 'how to' BM videos are pretty aweful and no help at all. You guys nailed it.

Omg you are awesome! This is the best prep and experience explanation I’ve seen so far😍 I think we got a chance to go with my boyfriend! Do they still accept at your Never Never Camp ? And how much is it ? Let me know if we can join! Thank you 🙏🏼

Burning man! You and Dan are adorable!! 🎉

This was absolutely the best video I’ve seen on introducing a person to Burning Man. Thank you so, so much! Are you going in 2023?

2023 was an intense year. I've been going since 2012 and I had a rough 2023.. Great video, y'all did good to cover as much as possible in less than 25 min. Burning man is a lot of things, but if you aren't prepared for the chaos you'll miss it..

This video was amazing! Love you guys! I wanna be in your camp! Great energy & so much helpful info! Thx & bless! 🙏🏼

Very helpful

I'm from Ireland, I've tried getting tickets too with no luck. It's in the top 5 of my bucket list. Hopefully, one day before I become dust.

New subber love this channel

My tent became a sauna/storage space for gear. Rather then sweltering in a tent, Napping in center camp in the shade, in the breeze on a dusty sofa enjoying the never ending line up of amazing presentations was the most choice of option.
