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

This is GOOD. THIS IS ALWAYS A RISK there. Black Rock Desert has a very special surface with a unique chemistry. The veterans are staying put and partying their ass off IN PLACE. It always dries out eventually. Nature is teaching a whole lot of people some important life lessons. I've been there for some really extreme weather. I love that desert more than you can ever understand.

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.

Trent, thanks for the Recce flight. I was down there, looking up. Wish I'd known you were flying by. Very good coverage of the issue. The ONLY problem was travel, but some people freaked out anyway. It wasn't cold. It wasn't dangerous. We weren't being stalked by wolves. Even if you ran out of food or water, your neighbor had extra. It was just a desert camping trip that decided to get rainy. That is NOT an existential crisis. The guidance from BMIR, Burning Man Information Radio, was crystal clear: DO NOT TRAVEL. Nobody was going to chase you if you chose to try an escape against advice, but as your video shows, the advice was right and a significant portion of the people who ignored the message ended up stuck. It was my fifth Burn and it was fine. A bit less flash and glitter than other years, but more neighbor to neighbor time and a sense of pulling together. Contractor Strength garbage bags make fine mud shoes. Last year it was hot and windy and dusty. Someone wished for a Burn without Dust. We got it. Read the Survival Guide and think about the 10 Principles, prospective Burners. Maybe dump the Sparkle Pony costume, and bring a bit more food and water and a sturdy shelter. See you next year.

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.

We were advising people trying to leave: We won't stop you, you're not being detained, we're urging everyone to shelter in place, you will be getting further from help if you leave the city, and you will be the last to get towed out if you get stuck.

Usually on the way home there is a bunch of DUI's issued. This year, a bunch of tow bills will be issued. And yes, this is Tuesday, September 5, and almost everyone is still stuck out there. That dry lakebed is not a dry lakebed.

They are recommending people stay put until at least Tuesday for it to dry out a little, but they are not preventing anybody from leaving. Even on their website, they say nobody is being prevented from leaving and they are free to go as they wish.

A friend of mine about 18 years ago became a bit of a burner. He helped some people build some really cool pirate ships. Gave his tech knowledge to one of the bigger light shows and helped design a 3rd generation of someone's bass bin. I remember asking him, "what are you going to do it it rains out on that silt for more than five hours?" His eyes got real big with what looked like concern and told me he would show me in a few days. A few days later he showed me tire devices he made with slotted and grooved 2 x 2 wood about 10-12 inches long, connected to a rope net that goes around the tire. Secures tightly with a come-a-long wench. Genius! Though, he had an issue that caused him to stop going before this 'rain event'. About six years ago he got married and had a child.

Thanks very much for your time making the video watching from Reno NV

I got stuck out at a rained in and flooded festival in a field that became an island in Australia years ago back in 2008. It was rough but we managed to have fun at times. There were about 1000 of us. Nothing on this scale though. We had food and water flown in. We were all out in just over a week. Only one person was permitted to leave via helicopter for medical reasons.

we hiked out yesterday down gate road and ended up getting a ride to Fernley in an RV. Then hitched a ride to Reno. It was a complete mess in the city, much better on the playa. The gate road was actually pretty good until you got towards the blacktop and had to cross two rivers. The trick to walking in that mud is socks on feet, bag over socks, shoes over bag, then socks over shoes. You can walk through almost anything for hours and stay dry and don't get the buildup on your shoes.

@@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.

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.

Thank you for showing us and great video this was awesome & Subbed!

I've seen how muddy it gets at festivals in the fields of New England. Through foot and vehicle traffic, those can turn into quagmires in no time at all... This here makes what I have seen in New England look tame. Reminds me more of the time I spent working for an excavation company.

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.

Excellent footage and updates but please keep yourselves safe!

Reminds me of a frozen lake in Minnesota that gets slushy then a snowstorm and refreezes and a bunch of people are trying to get off the lake with fish houses

That was your plane flying over out there. Nice! It surprisingly wasn't as bad as many led on. It was just some mud

Great job Trent!! Thank you for the informative update!!!

I hiked out Sunday morning at 7am between storms. Dang! So glad I brought my rain boots like I do every year!!!!

This was a very information dense production and so timely. Thank you for putting in the effort. New Subscriber, liked it!

My 2nd time watching. You are awesome flying that little thing. It looks like you bought it at a big boy toy store.😅 I love it. Snapped it together and primed the motor.

It’s all blown out of proportion. It was good times and will be back next year!

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

The asphalt in front of the hangar is a great idea, it should save on cleaning the inside of the hangar, at the very least! It might get a bit hot under the sun, but... what doesn't?

People are having a fantastic time! Life has become truly adventurous for them. Burning man 2023 was unforgettable say the least.

I was on the airport build crew for 5 years. I always had enough food and water for 2 weeks and could survive a month if necessary. Just wait it out. That said I know a doc who flew in and walked to pavement and got a ride to Reno. Do what you gotta do

Wishing everyone who is out there patience and love! My friend is stuck there but I am sure she still staying positive which I love.

It depends on her supplies of water and food, and how full the septic tank is.

That was a surprise! Expected to see some random video about Burning Man and the first thing I see is Trent Palmer!

I was watching another video taken from the ground at burning man and the guy said "looks like Trent Palmer circling overhead" I guess he was right. 🙂
