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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!!

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.

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!

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

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

This was so amazing! I’m preparing for my first burn and this was so helpful! Thank you so much!

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

I am the camp lead for camp LEVEL UP+ down the street from you !😀

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

the umbrella being packed is lowkey funny in retrospect

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

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

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!

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..

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!

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

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!

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

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!

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

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

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

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😅

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!

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!

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.

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

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!

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.😊

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.

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

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.

Very nice video! Thank you

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

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

Great video guys. Hopefully see you on the playa!

i am very nervous. we are arriving for the final 4 days of the event and i dont think there will be space! you guys did a great job on this video

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

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.

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

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.😊

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.

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

Great video on preparing!! Great job!

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

Well done. It was both interesting and informative.

16:33 is such a profound statement 👑 thank you

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

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

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

I wanna come from austria! It's my dream to travel there with my son

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?

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

This is THE CLOSEST video ive seen to what Burning Man is like... even thought it is still off a bit... But if u showing your "burngin" this video isn't a bad idea... unlike almost ALL other videos

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.

my heart mind and soul will be wth you❤

Yes! It was MUDDY for a day this year and majority of it dried up the next day. We all continued to live and party 😂 while the rest of the world got an escalated version which what made it seem like people were trapped. It wasn’t the case, we just had to walk in Mud and dance barefoot in mud, like that’s all. Burning man ends on Sunday and everyone leaves on Monday right at end of long weekend which causes long line ups every year. So please don’t believe everything you see in news. We came out safely monday night and had a great time.

Loved your video but l wonder is there any festival like this that's more diverse and maybe not in the desert😅

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

Visually BM looks very cool (and easily overwhelming) but I have no desire to go through all that, none!! 😆 And the monetary cost... Jayzuz!!

2023: You're gonna need a bigger boat!

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 making this video, super informative ❤

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

hopefully I will bring a bunch of brown people with me someday!! :)

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.

Awesome video! I’ve heard of BM but didn’t fully understand it until now. If I could turn back the clock 20 yrs I’d be first in line. 😅

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

Her excitement upon purchase 🥰 Immediate subscription ❤ Going to Burn this year?

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

Can we get a more detailed video on how to find a camping group for burning man if you’ve never been there plsss

Awesome video!! Well rounded. Thank u!!

What an incredible video! I was also really happy to read your interview article in the journal. As an emplpyee working for The Man, I'm so happy to hear that y'all had a memorable time. Hopefully we'll run into each other on playa this year! ❤

No, don't use rebar. Use 10-12 inch lag screws. Screw them into the ground with a battery powered impact driver. Much easier to drive and remove than rebar, fewer injuries from falling on or tripping over rebar. It also works better for holding things down. Trust me, I've been to every burn since 1996.

They really should rename it to "Bougie Man" lol, very accurate.

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

Nice ❤🎉
