It would be bad enough to have your RV stuck in the mud but to have 70,000 people drive by without one offering a hand has got to be depressing.

oh the Burning Man "free spirit of brother and sister-hood" - actually just a mob of narcissistic exhibitionists who wouldn't even think of helping someone else out who was in a real jam, esp, if it inconvenienced them to ever the slightest degree - ugly mess literally and figuratively

@primordial_platypus 10 ай бұрын

There’s not much they could do. Not enough traction for a tow, you can’t push it out if it’s buried up to the frame and unless you can pick the entire vehicle up and walk it out it’s stuck until it dries up. Kind of reminds me of people who have never driven in snow getting stuck in a couple of inches. If you notice the most successful ones crossing the “rivers” crossed at right angles in a spot not trafficked before and got some decent speed up so momentum carried them through (luckily it’s not soft enough to sink in to the bumper or frame before they’re across).

All those RVs could have sat in place for a day or two as the ground dried and solidified then left a lot less damage behind. I mean the funny thing about an RV is that they are a self contained living unit usually capable of being lived in for days at a time. Instead everyone just had to rush out when the ground was at its softest. Remember to take care of the playa and not damage it, unless it is inconvenient of course.

That Playa dust is alkaline - if you're skin is sensitive, or it stays on you long enough - it can produce blisters, even a mild burn. And, the stuff has a slightly negative electrical surface charge, so it sticks to everything, and soap & water wont remove it all - it takes a mild acidic solution, like vinegar & water, to break it loose.

We’ve been to Burningman several times and we also have done a bunch of offroad trails like Rubicon and for “just in case” our truck always has recovery gear in it. The conditions there at Burningman can get pretty bad with the slightest breeze and if you spill a glass of water on the ground it turns into a slippery mud just before it becomes like a shape of a bowl where the powdery, alkaline sand starts to dry. It was amazing to see how unprepared *some* people that go there are. Some come with nothing but a few bottles of water, granola bars, but tons weed or whatever. I knew if SHTF it would mostly be each for themself so people leaving the stuck guy is no surprise.

@@MagikFingers420 You don't know that anybody left anyone. Those people tried to drive out of the desert when they were told to stay put, because they would get stuck. But they didn't listen, so they are just sitting out there stuck. Anybody that tries to go pick them up will just get stuck too. They have no choice but to stay at their cars and wait until the ground dries enough to drive away. You're ignorant though, it's cool.

I just love how everyone that is stuck has so much help getting unstuck, really shows the "community" at burning man. I don't think a single vehicle didn't stop and offer assistance to those stuck and not to mention the "self reliance" of those that just stood next to their stuck vehicles just looking around helpless and hopelessly- err, I mean dug themselves out on their own. Just a, wholesome, heartwarming and fulfilling experience.

Much of my childhood was spent with my Dad, who was brilliant, an inventor of Sand Tires, and he RESCUED people who were clueless, got themselves into off-road challenging situations of GETTING STUCK. We pulled thousands of such folks out of the sand dunes, beaches, desert areas, and wilderness for decades. Watching this, I just shake my head on how the Human Race has barely learned anything, come UNprepared for the wilderness areas where conditions change rapidly and in isolated locations. Always come ready.

What? They came prepared! None of them are asking for rescue. No one is asking for food or water to be airlifted in. The video reports from BRC have been quite measured and realistic. There's plenty of food and water. Electrical power? A bit spotty in places. Porta potties? Some are getting full. But they have done a great job, individually and institutionally, of preparing. Rainfall like this is very unlikely, but BM guidelines urge people to be prepared for a lot: bring extra food and water, bring a range of clothes, bring a mindset that's flexible and adaptable. It's really impressive how 70,000 people have dealt with this. Not really even "coped". Many (most!) are celebrating, learning, having a good time, and helping others.

I’m from Nevada on the reservation that’s on its way to burning man. This is why I did my hay early and didn’t go. We knew it was going to rain 2 weeks in advance. My wife and I even volunteered the manager emailed us when she must’ve gotten out to BRC and told us to bring “trash bags” and or “Walmart bags” for our feet. Shame on burning man for putting garbage on and to end up destroying ancient land. My people used the black rock as a hide out for women and children during the wars our tribe had with the government.
