How often has this happened at Burning Man? Fascinating watching all the RV's attempting to cross the water on the playa. From KSL News on youtube:
It's a party. Not much testing except for dust, drug, alcohol tolerance. Same motivation as our adolescent, underage kegger parties: go somewhere where cultural rules aren't enforced. Play dress-up, show off, experience outlandish art, concerts, .....Burning Man has always been about testing enduring under somewhat harsh conditions ......
They weren't paying attention to the weather big picture...They got caught this year enduring 'harsh conditions' most weren't prepared for.
But they don't know what they don't know. But you know what they don't know so you wouldn't do what they did. Because you know.I don't know why anyone is even trying to drive in that. Unless you're an experienced mudder, you are going nowhere, I don't care what your schedule says you are supposed to be doing. Might as well sit where you are.
Still, there is something to be said for doing something I have not done...yet.
My granddaughter loves her videos. Last weekend she said, "Grandma, you gotta see WonderHussy's video about Burning Man!" I'll have to check it out. I've seen her other Burning Man videos.WonderHussy is there..............................
Please explain how burner's are practicing and teaching self-reliance...... It's about self-reliance and helping others .....
..... All food and drinks are provided ..... Everything is included in the entrance fee .....
Sounds like she went with a specific group. Food and drink are not provided by Burning Man. Organizers have enough to do without providing food to 70,000 people for 9 days. (My mind boggles...)Maki is right about Burning Man. It's about self-reliance and helping others. Lots of talent there.
They didn't have to worry about food. All food and drinks are provided. The only thing you must pay for is ice and coffee. Everything is included in the entrance fee.
I watched several interviews with people who were there and they said it was like other years only wetter. The more inexperienced folks left early (instead of waiting for the ground to dry) and some got stuck. One guy said the mass exodus on the news happens every year.
I'd love to attend Burning Man... if I was 40 years younger.
I watched a documentary about Burning Man last night and it kept talking about how everything is free there. It showed the kitchens preparing the food and said you just look for the long lines (they move fast... 20 minutes) to find more free food. The CNN article you shared said you pay for ice, but didn't say anything about paying for food (unless I missed it). I'll grab the link to the documentary. It's from 2019 and was well made.Sounds like she went with a specific group. Food and drink are not provided by Burning Man. Organizers have enough to do wihout providing food to 70,000 people for a week.
