Congrats Matt! Long love and good luck in the journey!
Long time fan here.....love how you snuck that in at 5:22 !!!! Congratulations! I feel I'm either too old or too jaded for BM but know that the younger me would have been all over this. For now, I'm happy to live vicariously through your efforts and completely enjoyed this video. Tks.

"Life changed" Good love found its way between youtube ether & melting rubber rolling in the desert dirt. Mahalo all around to you & yours!
Congratulations Matt! Only the second time I've cried watching a MmD video (the Crankworx To-Do List video got me a bit emotional too) 😋

Congratulations dude! So lucky to be able to propose under the rainbow on camera! ❤
Congrats! What an amazing time to propose!
You have lots of interesting images here, but had to watch at half speed to take them in.
Congratulations my dude!🤙
Woohoo Congrats!!!!
Love that old art car. Been out there forever. You guys weren’t far from my camp. Clunker style cruisers with a nice low gear work really great out there, when it’s not muddy. What a great year.
"Leave no Trace" lol

There are hundreds of volunteers who stay behind and clean up for a couple of weeks. Playa Restoration team does hard work.

What do you think it is? Is it not the dry remnants of ancient Lake Lahontan?
This is like the mad Max but with bikes 😂😂
Thought i heard the Duzer at 4:45 to 4:57?
If it were me, I’d bring my maverick x3 and a ram with a rooftop tent👌👌👌
Congratulations 👏

The aim is to explore how a society that utilizes a gifting economy and follows the 10 principles could exist! There’s also a large emphasis on art, helping out your neighbours, and playful self expression.

rich kids want to feel what its like to do mushrooms for a week while pretending to "trade for economy" while their parents literally run the economy. Straight up rich kids playground, those people with RV's spent upwards for 50k USD JUST TO BRING THE RV. 10k for the tent reservations lol this isn't an "accessible experience" and its not about how we would "utilize a gifting economy" 90% of the things that are "gifted" we brought in and purchased before hand lmao thats not how a gifting economy would work at all. But too many drugs for these people to realize they literally are practicing the opposite of a gift giving economy. They are ONLY even able to go to burning man because of their capitalistic abilities (their money). The "regular" people their also simply lie about who they are, they pretend they arent rich then go home to an apartment in Manhattan... make it make sense lmao
What a load of tosh 😂
the leave no trace is a joke look at the giant mess of trash these people leave every year

Maybe some of the participants do leave trash, but did you know there's a whole crew of volunteers that's stays several weeks after to clean up? It may not be ideal, but it IS actively trying to leave no trace. How about you?

its literally just a rich kids playground, 90% of the people their are industry and hollywood kids trying to feel something in their empty lives. Some of us got this outta our system when we were 17 years old experimenting with out buddies while partying out on the beach or in the woods. These are a bunch of 30yr old drug infatuated weirdos lol
