Really

Nice 👍

Yes nicw

They are luck they are not in the land of OZ the water would be a meter deep by now.

holy shit people are stupid.

Dinosaurs used to roam there

And didn't it rain last week too? After Hillary? My son lives in Reno and he said they were getting rain. It's almost like they forgot to check the weather😮 Mud sucks on a lake bed 😅😅😅

Not even just a dry lake bed. The desert in general. Water: gives life, but will take it just the same.

Amen. Do what BLM or BMOrg suggests/requests and you're sitting pretty. Take in your neighbors if you have an RV. Read the Survival Guide BEFORE you make your preparations. It'll save you a world of hurt later. Back in 2015 when it was horrid during the days and literally freezing at night, I was sitting pretty because I brought not just warm weather clothing and such but winter gear complete with parka, gloves, wool hat, and cocoa. Be Prepared. LOL

Omg I'm so glad other people remember my first burn! 2015! It froze! Skinniest year of my life bc I had nothing but cure clothes haha!

Oh and very funny how everyone who was patient and listening to the radio ended up fine this year

It'd be cool if you loved that desert enough to leave it be.

Someone should call in the air strike and rid the desert of these cretins.

Normally they put down driving plates.

LOLOLOLOL

Since when do hippies plan anything?

Its unfortunate its not some sort of event with a core principle of preparedness and radical self reliance (and leaving no trace) - oh wait........ ooops. Guess those principles didnt actually mean much

It's all rich kids going to Burning Man - the cost to go has increased since the creation. It's now Coachella for Rich Hipsters. It started as a bohemian free expression of art, music and life, but now it's just some instagram content for KZfaqrs and rich kids bored with daddy's money.

@@ricktyman4709 Meh not sure how true this is... given the amount of resentment vibes you got going on there there. lol. But i do know that even rich kids trying to have fun don't deserve to starve to death in a soggy desert.

Nah they can all get out themselves. Once it's dry you can tow them out with a 2WD car.

@@bassistofheavymetal​ Loser with no money that wishes he could go

We stayed put and got to spend so much more time getting to know our fellow campers (we were a camp of 70+ people located on esplanade) than in previous years. We got to see the burn with a couple of night's delay in a more intimate setting than I ever expected to experience. Was also my fifth, though I have been burning for more than 15 years, mostly attending regionals every year, as the trek west is a long one for us. All in all, a trying experience more than usual, but not at all anything dangerous, as long as you weren't stupid and stayed put. We left Wednesday on a no-wait dry gate road....so dry, in fact, that they were running water trucks down it to keep the dust down, ironically enough. I am personally laughing at all the armchair quarterbacks commenting on something they have zero experience with...though this IS the internet. Thank you for helping dispel the mountain of misinfo that is pouring out of the media. People who were there the whole time need to set the record straight. Thanks for doing your part in this.

Are you still there?

@@charlottebowes7666.............. No, I was never there, I saw a video!

@@edchester1773 Your statement implies you were there. So which account did you take this from as it’s not accredited or quoted? I need to see it please, would you provide a link?

@@SBmasta441 Mate jog on, I ain’t got time for you 😎

Exactly. It's good cardio

10 miles on solid ground is absolutely doable. 10 miles in mud where you have to fight for every step suuuuuuuucks.

it is for these crystal generation woke pu zzies!

@@amoliski true..guess it just depends on how bad you wanna leave

The thing is most people don’t wanna leave their things behind

Yup. I used to live in Barstow. A couple times the Mojave river was RAGING when it is usually dry.

zzz

and.... I had to shit in my shoe because shoes are worthless anyway

Sounds a bit like Woodstock. Which I went to.

We were morons.

And we paid big bucks to do it. Priceless.

What to do if idiots have the road blocked to protest ,when on the way out

Easy for you to say.

ok

Waah

Making memories, and will do it again next year with an eye on the weather forecast and preparations.

@@canlib for real

So much moop and he doesnt even care

That "yet" killed me haha

This will be a story to tell, for sure! People are doing fine, I also bet they actually enjoyed this experience, feeling alive.

​@@lis7742 You are correct! Watch Wonderhussy Adventures --- she went and... well, you'll see if you watch her. 🌦

😆 🤣 😂

@@lis7742 and they get screen coverage!!

The more remarkable thing to me is the tropical storm was forecast a few days in advance and alot of people still went. I'm sure some people think it can't rain very much in the desert but it can rain hard it just takes an unusual weather pattern. The tropical storm had much more moisture than the typical storm and it came from the south which means it didn't have to go over the Sierra and there was no rainshadowing.

Did u get any pictures? They say if it does rain the mirror effect is in place.

@@mabelbradley6604 luckily it didn’t rain for very long so we were able to escape. But we did not see any mirror lakes on the flats.

But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen- that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles. Acts 26:22-23

It's almost like there's this thing called weather forecasting and they thought they were just too cool to get trapped. Most of these people are from silicon valley, remember.

BMIR is lying to people and saying you will be ticketed if you move a vehicle.

People are leaving in mass as we speak there is a live stream

It's not an internment camp or some such. People should be free to leave as they choose I would imagine ?

@@piyushan_abeynayake Not only are they getting stuck and preventing others from leaving, but they are leaving huge ruts, which when dry, will prevent others from being able to leave. As well, all of those tire ruts, etc are completely destroying the eco-system of the dry lake bed. Every single person that decided to leave during a stay in place order should be fined many, many thousands of dollars for damage to the eco-system. They are all eco-terrorists. .... and remember folks, all these people are useless eaters. 70,000 of them have been gone from civilization for over a week and nobody noticed they were gone.

There’s a difference between nobody is being prevented from leaving and nobody is preventing anyone from leaving. Plenty of people being prevented from leaving - it’s just from the mud.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Or rain capture!

How much MOOP did you leave?

@@mycosys we didn’t leave anything that isn’t going to be driven out by camp mates.

@@mtiffee from the org site moop page 4) Dunes Why do dunes matter? We share this land with others who use it, and it’s important that we keep it safe for vehicle passage by keeping the playa flat (The Black Rock Desert is known to be one of the flattest stretches of land on Earth). Dunes are formed when windblown dust bounces off stationary objects and reforms on the ground, attracting more and more dust to the pile and exponentially creating a bigger dune. A mere pencil can create a dune. Once they start, there is nothing to stop them, except us. Caught at an early stage, dunes can be stopped by simply raking them down with a landscape rake. Be sure to MOOP the area afterward. ....... Rakes or better yet, landscape rakes! Dust storms happen, dunes build up very quickly and you could find yourself on your hands and knees using your bare hands sifting for things that might well turn into MOOP. Use a rake, and pull the MOOP out. Landscape rakes are wider, can catch more MOOP, and can comb through more area. You can use the back end of the rake to cut down the size of the dune and pull it flat. Push Brooms That dune that you’re standing on that used to be the site of your camp… yeah, that can’t be there. The dune will just get bigger and bigger as it attracts more dust and catches MOOP. When the winter rains come, that dune will just solidify into a big dune as hard as the playa surface itself which will suck for anyone using the playa, including us. Do your best and knock it down with a pushbroom. Or have a few on hand and watch how easy it is to restore the flattest real estate in the Black Rock Desert.

@@mycosys Is this an ancient native people's practice, or something folks recently started doing? And for what reason?

Thanks good to know Just an FYI snow chains work great in Mudd to.

That's what I was thinking - don't these people check the weather before they go on a road trip????

Just what would create an emergency on your part?

​@@roginutahsomething that effect th3 whole world.

can you tell more about the experience, i am very interested in hearing and knowing more about being there and what it feels like what it looks like and every aspect!

​@@HunnySanchezI do douchelord

let them wait. They're not missed nor needed. Let them play with the mud like pigs child adults they are.

How much are you charging for that flight?

Crazy...but seen on a wider scale all this rain has got to be a benefit. Especially in a part of the country which is normally so dry, and long term is getting drier.

I think that's the point. Most people had enough food and water anyway, because they didn't plan on leave until Tuesday. So nobody's running out of food. They're Feet are just a bit soggy this week.

@alandeon Bruh, do you even know about Trench Foot? 😂

I was once asked at Customs why I was traveling with so much food. I replied that I have a 13-yr-old with me. She smiled at my daughter and said, you’ve got a great mom!

@@lizlarsen1653 smart smart woman and yes a great mom to be prepared I agree👊🙏😁

@@Jolis_Parsec Yes, Trench foot happened in the trenches of WW1 and the jungles of Vietnam after LONG TERM exposure to mud and water and low hygiene which is NOT the case here. Good try though...

The party continued. the fire will burn tonight and people will leave happy. Nothing was "done in". People just got wet and muddy. just like many other festivals I've been to

So they head to the festival to cleanse themselves of commercialism, but in the end they can't get away from it, in the very things they consume.

feel better about yourself?

@@pickleforknwiggles634 wish I could have! Needed to get back for dog and child care. My partner is there livin it up!

Or anybody who can walk about a mile. That's how close the paved road is. Calling them "stranded" is a joke.

Nope. Hovercraft doesn't work in mud. The skirt touches and you are stuck. Helicopter or shanks pony only.

Not so Ray. Depends on where and how you stop it and what kind of unit you're operating. Hovercraft are perfect for swamps and mud bogs.@@raytoews9872

Huh? When was it declared a state emergency? Or are you just trying to be sarcastic or clever?

That's wrong and you know it.

Oh f#&ks sake! Stop it!🤦‍♂️

Truth 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yup.

Why is the airport closed???

Darwin commands respect.

It is not natural selection...there is no such thing. It is STUPIDITY !

It always has been natural selection at Burning an. We select against people like you.

And have a good event insurance policy. One that allows you to cancel for rain up till the day of. IF such an insurance company exists that would be willing to insure under those terms. Back east people routinely include "in case of rain" alternate plans on their invitations. I forget what they call them. Not usually needed in Nevada, California, etc.

Which festivals are those??

Of course, what they’re dealing with in Nevada isn’t ordinary soil-based mud (garden-variety mud, if you will)- when rain hits these sedimentary desert lake beds, it effectively becomes clay, and I think many of the people trying to drive their RVs out seriously underestimate it.

@@Lykapodium Main walking and driving areas from just about every festival I can remember, when the fields were not bone dry. Those get trashed pretty easily after not much traffic. Makes you appreciate the impact all sorts of large groups of people have on the land as they move tbh. Worst I can remember was a Camp Creek a couple of decades ago. The field at the bottom of the hill where the stage is just collected all the water. I remember one car sunk in the middle of what was originally an area with tents. Sunk in a combo of mud and water past its headlights. Everything was some degree of muddy mess by saturday morning if not by friday evening.

@@DeflatingAtheism Like I said, it literally reminds me of time I spent working for an excavation company. More specifically I was thinking about some of the broken water lines we had to dig up. Can't always turn the water off, can't always turn it off quickly. I have had to be pulled out of more than one muddy hole by machine. No lie, people seriously underestimate how much real mud sucks.

Looks like an older woman to me.

She is the porter. Wait til it's time to stop for tea.

That was certainly my first thought. THIS is not a disaster that the feds should be responding to. THIS is people en masse recreating while failing to plan to take care of themselves. This is NOT people going about their daily lives in shelter that SHOULD have protected them, in communities with services and things that SHOULD go as planned, but hit by true disasters (not the natural flooding of a floodplain in a desert...SMH).

I hope the government response is to permanently yank the permits for this event. The tribal rangers' response to the "activists" blocking the road was a good start.

The difference is the world would be a better place if the rain never stopped at burning man.
