- Burningman was a little different this year ;) The heavy rains changed the landscape of Burningman, but the citizens of Black Rock City came together as a community like I've never seen before.

At least there weren't any mosquitos ;)
You love Swedish mosquitos are you 🦟. 😂
hahahaha
@@IJama ;)
So you don't drink, but how were the drugs?
That was going to be my line. Lol. You did the suffering, so it is definitely yours.
This is what we call "Type 2 Fun". Of all the Burning Man camps, this is the one that will be at the top of your memories. This is where everyone pulled together. Where the camaraderie of like souls came together. Treasure these memories.🥰
Well said!
They all "pulled together" because there was no real emergency going on.
It would have been interesting to see all these peace, love, and dope people had there been an *actual* emergency with food and water becoming unavailable. It's easy to "pull together" when everyone still has food and water.
@@revjaybird2 No emergency or crisis because people like you are absent 😁. So funny how many cloaked racist comments in response to the rain at BM, particularly about Black Rock, but you have no problem with Black Water lol.
@@revjaybird2 dont be a debbie downer whiner, it will get you no where fast.
I was hoping that you would have attended this year. Looking forward to the real story. Without having watched yet, I'm guessing you made the most out of the situation and brightened everyone's mood around you!
We did indeed make the most out of it
Thank you, Ryan. I love your Snow Day analogy. Exactly! I was out there too, for my 19th Burn. The heavy rain was a brand new experience for me and I am happy to report that it was straight-up wonderful. The kindness and support everywhere was inspiring. I love Burners and I love being a Burner, now more than ever. Once the rain stopped and we could walk the playa, the air was crystal clear. Magical. ❤
The air was indeed crystal clear, such a magical experience!
I found you in 2013 when you made your first video running the Burning Man Ultra. I am SO pumped that you still attend and take place in the race! You're the man!
Thank you for sharing what it was really like out there! Our experience was similar - generosity, kindness, and making the most of it! We'll never forget 2023!
Yay! Glad to hear that you also made the most out of a difficult situation.
My 16 year old son was at the scout jamboree in South Korea this summer. It was similar that the apocalyptic reporting in the world’s media didn’t match the experience that most of the kids had. They got on with the situation, supported each other and had (for the most part) an amazing experience. Glad that Burning Man worked out.
Been looking forward to your take on this years burning man
I’d hoped there was a better story behind the media coverage…
Thank you for providing an honest, thoughtful and poignant review of the real situation!
And as always, thank you again for delivering beautiful examples of humans helping humans! 🚴🏼♂️
Hey Duzer! I just got back from BRC today and I think you've summed it up perfectly. Thanks for leading the charge here with helping your audience understand how things actually were. I've run the Ultra 3 times in the past and have met you before but was sidelined this year with an injury - it's always been awesome to talk with you... and try to get in the vlog :)
See you next year!
Love that folks helped each other out . The event will be stronger because of this. All the very best Ryan.
That's one of the things I really like about you, Ryan- your ability to highlight the good when there's so much bad being slung around. Humanity at its best! Thank you for sharing the love and the positive side if this event.
"Humanity at its best! " Nah, we got to see these people in REAL action as they called for the police to arrest people for not wearing masks.... and threatening to have people jailed for not getting the jab, etc. Most of these people are the worst of humanity in any sort of actual emergency.
@@revjaybird2Hahaha 😂🤣! You're at max freak out and absolutely nothing is happening! You'd be running and screaming at the hint of emergency if you react like this right now! Too bad you can't cooperate, be pleasant or offer positivity.
@@catlover4479 Why would I want to cooperate with a bunch of people who wanted me to die 3 years ago for not wanting to wear a useless piece of cloth over my face, or wanted to have me jailed 2 years ago simply for disagreeing with them about my personal medical decisions?
"Max freak out" LOL Hardly.
It was this group that was in max freak out for the last couple of years over a germ.
They act like they survived some horrendous ordeal.... by being asked to stay put for a couple of days in order to make it easier to get out while causing the least bit of damage possible to a fragile ecosystem.
.... and look what a bunch of them did; they split at the first sign that things might get tough. LOL They threw those 10 principals in the full porta-johns on their way out. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Go take your high and mighty smug, farting in a glass and go somewhere else.
Leave the playa alone. Your group is obviously not mature enough to treat it correctly.
I wish people would show this much care and compassion to the environment and other sentient life forms in this world.
So good to see an honest, level headed report. I'm just surprised that people are shocked that when it rains above a dry lake bed at an area below sea level there is flooding, flash flooding, quicksand,etc. plus difficulty moving around.
At first I was disappointed with the rain and the mud. But I got used to it, embraced walking barefoot, and observing how the community held together. It didn't reach a point of Woodstock '99 chaos as I and other people worried. Instead, there was a strong community bonding. Many people were kind to share resources and other unique gifts. We enjoyed sitting next to fires, laughing at how Burning Man made the headlines, meeting new people, watching the fireworks show at night, and anticipating the burnings of the Man and Temple. It was quite peaceful and less noisy at night. I stayed for both burn events, helped tear down camp, pick up moop, and left feeling accomplished.
Love that!
You are such a positive guy! You acknowledged the difficulties but made the best of it! Best video I have seen on Burning Man 2023. 🤩
Awww, thank you
Ryan, I love you so much!!!You are most definitely my favorite human in the whole wide world. You are teaching this world how to live and be the best we can be and I cannot tell you the significant role you play. I admire you and I could not love you more if you were my own kid. Thank you for sharing your experience, thank you for all that you do!!!Hugs from Veronica in Canada xxxx oooo
Awww, thank you for the kind words, Veronica! I really appreciate that you enjoy my videos
I got stranded during my medic shift at Station 6 (I worked ESD on a quick response vehicle at 5:15 and Esp) and had to ditch my bike and walk back to my camp (Medical camp at 9:00 and C)... walking in the sludge, while it was pouring down in the dark at 8pm, open playa completely to myself?! on Friday night?!, what an experience!!! I was singing and laughing and having a grand old time! It was like a crazy dream sequence or an alternate training program in the matrix. I'll always remember it with awe! Of course the possibility of public health crisis from the portos and food scarcity, and running calls the next days in the slop snaps you out of it real quick lol! Hands down, the BEST burn I've ever experienced. I'm sad you couldn't stay for the man burn... it was INSANE! So so so good!
You'll never forget that experience!!
It's amazing how the news is able to sensationalize anything! Keep that in mind folks! Regardless of what side of the isle you're on. Don't let them divide us! We have more in common then we think! Thanks for sharing your story Ryan!
So well said!
@@duzer På svenska säger man "Det viktiga är inte att någonting är sant utan att det är intressant".

@@suzieparis6821 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@suzieparis6821😂😂😂
The average city has a LOT more nasty going on in a given week. At the burn, People just don't lie about what they're up to at BRC. :-)
Thanks for making this video. Glad you made the most of it and showed how the community provides for those in need. I haven't been to a burn in awhile, but you illustrated the parts that i love about the experience.
Always making the most out of anything. Nice, Ryan!
Just got back from the Playa, and i really appreciate the people who stayed put and didn't drive when the playa was wet. It was a surreal experience that really won't be understandable if you weren't there. 7th burn, best one yet! Hello from Miso!
It was such a profound experience
@@duzer It was dirty hippies in a very mild "emergency" situation.
@@revjaybird2The world would never survive without your ingenious interpretations of reality! Rev rev rev!
@@catlover4479 Ok, so which was it?
A dire emergency?
Or a bunch of stoned hippies in the mud for a few days?
@@revjaybird2 Is that you, banal anal dana?
hey Ryan man you are an inspiration man,,,, i have never gone to burning man but now because of how you are so passionate and positive with what you went through you make me want to go next year more then ever. Dude seriously, it looked like a mess and the way you showed the heart of people and the kindness that is humanity when we all colectivly come together, man i want to experience that. thank you keep pumping out vids man, im your boy philip from montana.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I really enjoyed following a couple of different channels on TH-cam and consolidate the experiences. It seems that the true burners had a great time and always do.
I'm actually so super jealous of the sage smell! How wonderful.
I haven't been since 2012 but it would have been so great to see everything pause out there. Instead I was at home watching Diplo and Chris Rock run from their own private Donner party. I knew I would get the real scoop quickly. Awesome video! Thank goodness for neighbors with an epic dry disco dome.
Also rad that you're a tenter. In my 8 years I always stayed in a tent. I loved it. I didn't want to be cut off from the views in an RV. You can't see the hot air balloons passing in the morning.
Right on! I always say that tenting is great because it forces you out to explore when it gets hot (as opposed to sitting in AC).
Thanks for the perspective!
Great video & share Ryan, I'm glad it pretty much worked out, BM has been on my bucket list for about 7 years now. Great job 👍
Thanks you for sharing another side of Burning Man that the media never covers.
Phew! Glad to hear you weren't eaten by cannibals! The press that I saw was so sensational and over the top. But your videos about Burning Man have made me put it on my bucket list. The artwork and sculptures are just so creative and beautiful. It would be worth going just for that.
Saw a vlog saying there’s Orgies everywhere, and bad witchcraft etc. so crazy different opinions. I’d still like to go someday
Right on, Ryan! I love your attitude and look on life. You Sir, are living a wonderful life.
Amazing content as always Ryan. This event became adventure travel dealing with adversity. Gratitude for your coverage.
This was a phenomenal burn! While the mud was a nuisance and logistical nightmare, overall people's spirits were high. People talked to their neighbors, bullshitted with passersby. They made mud art, had block parties. Everyone came together, but that wasn't at all surprising. It was good to see, but not a surprise.
The man burn was awesome. While it didn't have Crimson's huge fire dancing display, it did have an epic pyrotechnic show before.
Expecting the unexpected is part of the burning man experience. You had the best environment for problem solving in a unique way. Its part of it all.
Well said!
Nice to get 'on the ground' reporting of this event. The articles I read covered this in a much different light. Glad you were safe and can now add another experience to your life lessons :)
I’m definitely grateful for the lessons I learned
Thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you for an update with your experience. I was hoping to see how it went for you.
Thanks so much it’s nice to get a direct perspective…..your a good guy…..thanks
Burning man the new Woodstock '69 Thx for sharing Ryan! As we say in Gbg, Westcoast Sweden!
De ska va gött å leva annars kan de kvitta, Gött mos bror!
Best burn ever! Thanks for your beautiful documentation!
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊 Awesome!!
Every music festival ever, always gets rained overnight and mud is Everywhere
Thanks Ryan! for sharing about what really went down
You bet!
Thank you!💗
It's a community like no other. Started going in 99 and have the best memories of my life there. My friends that were there know how to handle the conditions , I've seen rain there but nothing like that. The Playa provides and shucks I have to party with my neighbors a little more. I'm sure it was a burn like no other and will go down in history. Except 07 when, the man burned twice, there was an eclipse, I got engaged and Crude Awakening blew the fuck up and made everything after that seem sub par to some of us. The first time I tried walking into a camp and a beefy security guy asked for my wristband I knew things were heading south for my beloved Playa. What sucks is how much moop that is undoubtedly going to be left behind. So much for leave no trace. Still thanks for the video of feet on the ground, I never believe the media.
I imagine that it was a entirely different place in 99!
thanks Man, woodland park is always in your corner .. rock on
Right on, thanks.
Love ya Ryan. Love your adventures. Always wanted to do the Burning Man and visit. Glad I didn't get to this year. What a mess. But you are so great in handling it all. Love your will and mental willpower. Hero material. Last time I saw you were riding in Sweden. Love your channel and trips. Have safe travels dude. From a 51 year old lady who loves riding her bike in town and locally, our van's transmissions out. My daughter would rather walk or bus around. Not me, more of a serious commuter myself. Love riding. Godspeed. Peace my friend.
Thanks for your honesty. How fun to attend.
What a crazy experience!!! I am glad you were able to make the best of the situation. More importantly, I am glad you're safe.
Thank you!
@@duzer Your welcome!
Awesome info! The truth prevails once again! Thank you!
Awesome journalism! Thank you, Ryan.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the share Ryan. I haven't watched your videos since the Great Divide bike trip and then the love of your life vid. Hope that is still on going, but either way. I'm taking off next summer; either, the Trans-Canada trail or just walking across Montana and South Dakota - maybe Wyoming also - and I am sure the whole adventure will be amazing as long as one remembers that it's the journey that counts, be it up or down, and if a momentary down happens, even this will pass.
Have fun on your big adventure!
I have such a similar issues while building my house. Framing in the perpetual rain and my driveway and surrounding yards and workspace looks exactly like that. But I have nowhere to go. I just have to keep building and hoping I get to the roof to dry it all out.
I already knew the media was over dramatizing the situation. So glad to see you and others that have told the truth with video proof it was still a beautiful moment in time. Thank you!!
Thanks! Its always an Adventure!
Ive been to burning man twice, had fun might go back some time.
Ive camped out in that Black Rock desert twice in late June, one year it was 107 every day, we were up early and traveling on dirtbikes cross country 100's of miles, checked out the WWII airplane crash site not far from Denio. etc, etc.
Onion Valley reservoir @ 8200' was visited, as was Soldiers Meadows. High Rock canyon.
Next year late June also, we had ice storms, lightning storms, wind storms, it was really crazy but we had a blast!
The high desert can do what ever the heck it wants in the way of weather.
Love your positive attitude!
I was just telling a Boulder co-worker of mine of how in difficult life situations that you can get the camera out and film it no matter how dire it seems. Glad you you black-rocked it!
Yay, Ryan!! I love your attitude and appreciate your report.
I hope to see you out there next year!! Love, Mango
I hope so too!
Que bueno que regresaron sanos y salvos de Burning Man. Saludos Ryan.
Estamos vivos y felices!
Really enjoy and appreciate your burning man vids, Ryan. I've been watching them since 2017 when I started consuming everything I could about it lol. Really hope to meet you on the playa some day.
I hope to meet you too!! Thanks for watching my videos
I appreciate the truth! As someone who hadn't Heard of Burning Man it looked crazy in media. ThenI had realized that there had to be some drama added. Most people like me,I think, were concerned for people! Thanks again!!!!!
YOU did a Awesome Job explaining in a short video, of what transpired there!
Thank you for that!
Tim and Darla Berg ❤❤❤
Thank you for this comment! I appreciate that
I was waiting all weekend for your Burningman coverage!
Here you go!
Awwww. This is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing dear one!
Thank you! Cheers!
Seems like you brought the rain from Sweden with you. 😉 Just glad to know you're home safe.
At least there was no mosquitoes..
@@sainvol hahaha, I was saying that to myself :)
haha, I totally did! The rain has been following me all summer
Loved your video and the appreciation of the beauty of what was!!
Thank you so much!
Amazing event.
Been waiting for you to tell it like it was. thanks for keeping it real.
Always!!
Thank you for sharing the experience from an inside perspective. I am bummed i missed out, I WILL make it to burning man someday!
Like You said.. it’s all part of the challenge.. makes it more memorable.. Attitude is everything.. if everything was perfect & easy that’s no challenge.. Glad to hear Your Prospective.. Glad you are all Safe.. 🙂🍀🌞
Exactly!!
Thanks dude.
Talk about taking a bad situation and turning it into a positive experience. Burning Man is on my bucket list, I will get there sometime. As always, Ryan you take anything that most people would think is a disaster and turn it into a positive experience. Along with the people of Black Rock City. That's all I have heard about Burning Man is the people are amazing despite what could possible happen. Look forward to my first burn and hope to have an exciting experience.

Thanks for always being you man, and sharing your light. I bet it did get a bit scary at one point, but there is way more good in the world than bad. Thank you for bringing the accurate story of how humans human with one another. If we see this, we rise to this. If we see what we see portrayed in the media, we do not rise to what we are capable of. As Wonder Woman says, “only love will truly save the world” Thank you for showing us the love that always occurs out there, but that really occurred out there this time. What a gift to have been around all that love! Also, fast edit man! You are the only news I’ll watch.
Great reel for real! We're all more knowledgeable from the share. Thanks Duzer!
You bet!
I agree! The Nevada desert after a rainstorm smells delightful!
It was incredible
perfect host! thank you
Thank you!
Dang this makes me wanna go
wow, I saw the news about the storm....incredible to see all that mud, crazy for walk and for drive is another story... jajajaja glad you get out from there..
Thank you Ryan for sharing !!!!!
My pleasure!
Thank you. It's a lesson for all to know the facts, not to just trust media will do the right thing.
One thing all the news coverage is how stunning 🤩 and surreal the visuals of the landscape were
Nice video. I attended bm23 after an 18 year break. The spirit is alive and thriving on the playa. Our species is really awesome.
I agree with you!!
Man! That was crazy!!!😮
We were camped down the road from you! We had the big moai head that shot fire! Also, not to be too much of a jerk about it and to help provide some intel, but there's a reason they were constantly announcing not to leave over the radio, the next day the road conditions were fine. All the people leaving early only just got themselves stuck and/or tore up the roads for those behind them.
I just knew it was much more positive than the media portrayed. Keep showing us your reality!
You know it!!
fkn joke.
Nice buddy! Good on ya for makin this! Mudday Man!
Thanks 👍
Glad to see you and your brother are safe
My mom was happy too ;)
You continue to make me feel good about life Ryan! Nice sharing some of your fam!
Yay!!
Awesome video as usual. I was hoping you were there with your camera to give us the real story.
I wasn’t planning on filming anything but the marathon…but this was such a unique situation
I am glad you survived the ebola cannibalism sacrifice ritual. The stuff in the news was ridiculous. Looks like it was a fun adventure. The bathroom situation could use a little more elaboration, but maybe thats not the best of content lol.
haha, the bathrooms were luckily able to be cleaned later on Saturday and Sunday morning..
WOW! Crazy...but, like you say, it's ALL in how you react and one's attitude!!
Always!
Thanks!
Awww, thank you for your generosity
I am one of those goof balls. Just not wacky! LOL
It was a treat to see you Friday night. I love what you do! Thank you for letting me introduce myself. This is a great report! - Scooter
Fun meeting you, the Agave Lounge was so fun that night
The media reporting the news in a truthful and unsensational manner? I don’t ever expect that! Good video!
Great Video
Thanks!
Ryan, thanks for the real story! Great outfits❤
You do the festival good!!!
I thought you'd be stuck out there. I'm glad you made it back in one piece but at least you have a cool story to tell. I just wanted to say I ran into John and Mira on the route 36 bike path near Broomfield. I'm not the type to bother people but I did say I watch his channel all the time and yours.
So cool that you ran into them!!! Yay!!
Thanks for shining some light of truth on the dark negativity from the media😮😊
The photos are wonderful. I’m not sure how you kept the inside of your tent mud free. So glad that you’re safe
I’m surprised too, haha!!
