Sarah, this coverage of Burning Man was so well done that it should be shown on the History channel as a documentary of the 2023 event. You did an excellent job including the fantastic narration. You should be very proud of this video.
Stunning and Brave! Standing against capitalism by standing for communism, at a capitalist agenda gathering! Standing against world pollution by polluting a desert! Standing against racism and the oppressed, by abusing an Indian tribe and polluting the land! Sounds like liberals!
We lost my daughter this past Thanksgiving from brain cancer and her mural was in the temple this year even though she wasn’t able to be there in person and neither was I. Thank you for this is was the best and truest view of this year’s burning man and I wish I could have been there! 🎉
Blessings to you and your daughter. I was in the Temple. I wonder if I saw it? It was a beautiful Temple and they had many ceremonies and the philharmonic orchestra play inside of it. What a beautiful way to honor your daughter ❤
*WHAT A BRILLIANT PRESENTATION* ! Compared to what was being presented on the News channels and other individual videos, this has got to be one of the finest on RUclips covering this event ! Well done Sarah Jane. You've shown all the others how it is to be done. 💯💢
The difference in most other individual's videos is they did just clips of this mess and that mess, and don't have the experience of scripting a full feature 'documentary' video like she does. And of course the news is limited to showing the worst in less than 2 minutes.
@@jazzcatt I got the impression, that there was a lack of will, not necessarily a lack of video cutting experience with the oher dramatizing Burning Man desaster "reporters". One especially wanted to rant over drugged hippies and made up his tales out of the material he could gather, others wanted drama or apocalypse and picked their footage accordingly.
... the solemn tuba player, the emotional moment during the burning and wonderhussy declaration that this edition of burning man is one of her favorites lends one to think that suffering is something she craves.... and I shall now Christian you,,, St.wondehussy,,,provocateur of mischief!!!!
My husband and I absolutely LOVE you, Sara!!!!!!! He is 69 yrs old, I am 67 yrs old. You are so gifted, funny, talented. We travel in our self designed cargo van. We pray to God that we run in to your during one of our travels. You are a beautiful, intelligent, creative human, who understands how to enjoy life. We love you dearly!!!!!💕🌺🤸🏼♂️💃
The thing is, the news was actually telling the truth. Yes, vehicles were badly stuck in the mud, especially the idiots that tried to drive through 4 to 6 inches of surface water, not knowing how thick and deep the mud underneath was! They did it to themselves after being told to stay in place. The ones without food and water were being supported by the ones like Sarah, who truly understand the concept of self reliance and impromptu kitchens set up by Burners. Yes, there was some stealing of food and water by jerks that don't understand what self reliance means. You carry MUCH more than you need, and are ready for anything and everything the desert can, and does, throw at you. When you leave, and go through the reservation, you donate your unopened, unused, extra food to the 'food bank' on the res. Burners feed a lot of hungry Paiute people with those donations!
I remember when week long winter electric outages were pretty common in our rural community. Most people were pretty well prepared and expected it. The recent arrivals might freak out a little but quickly realized it really wasn't a serious problem. There was plenty of supplies to go around. If a big tree fell and blocked the road people would arrive with chainsaws and the road would be reopened quickly. A lot of us kind of looked forward to it. Seems like the news media wanted to turn this years Burning Man into a major disaster but for many of the attendees it was anything but a tragedy.
What a wonderful find! I'd seen one of your videos last year when you were trekking somewhere in the desert alone but I had forgotten to subscribe then and had since forgotten your name. So thrilled to have found you again and really enjoyed watching this particular video since you described everything so perfectly with your sense of humor and individual style. I think your analysis of this year's Burning Man is the best and most accurate one. Thank you so much! I really had fun with this one. And it looks like you did too.
You are such a gifted story teller, im grateful i stumbled upon your channel a few years ago 🙏 thank you for all the effort you put into these videos, this is one of my favorites, so far!
As usual, you are the best storyteller ever. The mainstream media literally fabricated their own disaster version of the event. What better place to be stuck for a few extra days than with 65000 of your closest friends.
I watched a lot of videos and coverage of burning Man 2023, but yours is definitely the best! You should be on a bigger platform. I think you could grow your audience far beyond just RUclips.
WH is an outstanding journalist. A local news station in Vegas should give her a gig doing these rip-roaring stories. She deserves a lot of credit for so many folks all over the world falling in love with Nevada and the Mojave. George Knapp should interview her (and get her a gig).
OMG best Wonderhussy episode ever. Dishing out equal doses of reality and fantasy and just keeping it real. On a side note hope you got to see more of Postman Brian! Maybe you did get the Burning Man you needed. Thanks for being you.
Thanks! I Enjoyed this! I also would not have left till it was properly over either, being there after would linger for a long time also! Cheers!!! from the land to the north
"If you fight reality, reality always wins!" Love that! This is my hands down FAVORITE video from you. When I saw those eyes of yours at the temple burn, my eyes went wet (like now as I write this.) Thank you for sharing the view of how it really was there this year.
Sarah, I watched a lot of Burning Man videos while you were gone. Your video was so well done, you are simply the best! I loved the video, the editing, the humor and the excellent narration and storyline. You should be very proud of this video. Well done. I look forward to your videos every week. You are an amazing Woman! Congrats.
You had me teary-eyed with homesickness in the first few minutes. I always stayed in the bus rider tent city, roughing it. You reminded me of the advice, "Plan your burn. Burn your plan. Grace to those who will clean up this mess.
Another great video! Glad to see the Burners who toughed it out and kept a positive attitude were rewarded with good weather and the burning of the man and temple at the end!
One of the best videos I ever saw on a RUclips channel. The editing, the writing and your authentic connection to the event with respect to delivery made this amazing to watch...and learn about. Just AWESOME.
This is a first for me. First time ever seeing the "Burning Man" event from an inside perspective...and first time ever seeing Wonderhussy. I started off just watching the first few minutes, but stayed for the entire show! This lady is very easy for me to understand. I fell under her spell. She was so good at this kinda presentation I may have to watch her again. Her sense of humor is sublime and captivating. Utterly charmed me right thru the estrogen bath! Loved the whole thing!
So grateful you showed us another experience than was seen on the news! I can see why you enjoyed it more after the posers left! Thanks for the great content Wonderhussy!
Why do you think spending hours of filming and editing and reporting live from an obviously highly publicized event isn't a commitment to work? Are you saying that journalists and news reporters don't have "real" jobs? If watching coverage of this particular event doesn't interest or "benefit" you, why are you wasting your time watching it, not to mention bitching about it? Maybe you should stick to your Netflix, Prime and HBO @@TheBandit7613
Brilliant. When one door closes, another door opens. Something there that for some folks is hard to grasp, and yet for others it is just plain as day obvious. Your use of language brings this message across in a crystal clear, unambiguous way. Well done, and thanks from the heart on your achievement.
Yah, there is some really awesome art and not enough pics out there of it. I saw there was a big bear sitting on a throne and his fur was made out of pennies standing on their sides!
Wonderful! I lived in New Orleans for many years, and this captures a similar vibe. People should always make their own fun and not expect it to be provided. Truly free-spirited
OMG This mirrored my experience almost exactly! I laughed, cried & shouted watching this. It's like you were sitting on my shoulder chirping the same thoughts into my ear as they were happening. The rains only made this burn better. A little adversity breeds resilience and brings us weird humans a bit closer together. Thanks for the memories!
Thank you so much for making this video! This is the first video that I’ve seen that shared the story of what actually happened in the rain and mud at the burn where everyone came together and had a blast. And agreed - the actual man and temple burns were magical because they were so intimate, and we all had the application we may never see a burn like this again.
Why she doesn't have a mega hit show on the Travel Channel or Discovery is beyond me. She's every bit as good, or better than the shows on any of those channels.
That was a wonderful story. I love the positivity. I figured that you would love it when the rain came. I am glad that only the die hards would stay for the rest of the festival. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. When given rain, make mud art.
Lol, TUBA! Fellow burner and Hot Spring Hooker here. I took this year off, and as all of the insanity was pouring down the news cycle, I knew that all my hardcore burners were there celebrating life, regardless of the rain and mud. 2007 was my first year. And each year since, I lament the devolution/evolution of participation. But there is still a core of those magical folks that work so hard all year to make Going Home so incredibly special for all of us. I do hope one of these days our rainbow pads will cross somewhere out there in the big wild West! Thanks for this exceptional work of storytelling that beautifully grasps the true spirit of the event.
WonderHussy, that was an absolute enjoyable video account that kept things real. I remember the first Burning Man, and the drive was really cool greeting folks on the road, stopping and talking, cheering each other on, all so epic. Since I live in Nevada, this time of year is special with the almost journal to Burning Man Mecca travelers and the really cool ones sharing, very energizing and calming type of chill experience. Always look forward to it and them. I'm so glad (and relieved) that everything turned out to be A-okay for you and that all was not lost with the torrential rains and flooding and most of all: there was the BURN of The Man and also the Temple. You made the sun shine brighter and the rain be lighter in spirit. Thanks for sharing your special moments at Burning Man, WonderHussy. You are the BEST! Cheers
My husband and I have been waiting for your video to post. Thanks for setting the record straight. You tell the truth with great storytelling! Thanks, Wonderhussy!
This was my fave video from you yet 🤩 wow the intro was epic. Loved your perspective of it all from being there over a decade and your positivity that you shared with everyone. Well done!!
Always been a fan and hoped someday I'd make it out there. As the years have gone by life has just evolved to the poiny that I'm now just enjoying the official live feed abd videos like this. You would definitely be a great neighbor to have in the desert and rain or no rain it would be a fun time. Glad you got the extended stay. One for the books! Thanks again. Great documentary driven coverage in the 1st person.
Thank you thank you thank you! I went in 09 and I get what your saying. I hope this years burn clears out some of that mud, and i hope to join you again next year, partly because my sister dared me to come back ❤
Yaaay! That was exactly the update I was hoping for. I wondered how you faired and suspected that the "adverse" conditions might have been a blessing in disguise for true burners. So glad that turned out to be the case.
It was awesome to finally meet you and chat a bit at the burn earlier in the week! I was looking forward to this video! It was a weird burn, but awesome! After 10 years, I felt the same about it feeling very "normal" and not as magical in some ways when I first got on playa, but the rain stirred things up a bit! It was uncomfortable at moments, but being stuck in that situation with actual burners is probably one of the best groups to be with - generally prepared, going with the flow (ha!) and willing to push through to the other side.
I have admit, Sarah, this one of your best videos yet. I think the smaller crowd helped. But the attendance was still over 70,000. I'm glad you were able to watch the MAN burn. The temple seems a more solum affair. And I'm glad the rain helped. It did cut down on the severity of your Playa Lung. Happy trails. 🎉
You create a mood and a feeling ( if those are different?) that really works for me. Introspective yet cheerful. Observing as well as participating. Letting all us armchair types experience it all. Thanks! 😍🙏
Let this be a lesson for anyone who thinks the news media is about facts and truth... They're not! They are about drama and sensationalism. Thanks Sarah! You're awesome!
This was such a well thought out on site report. So glad that the fun continued with so many partiers having such good attitudes. I have never been, but I hope maybe one day I might. Such a good event. Maybe those who are not real burners will rethink if they will return. Thank you for the video. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
As a long time, older Burner (1998 - 2010 and a couple of others) I enjoyed your report. It looked like burn night and the temple were more like 1998 with 15,000 total in attendance. Great stuff!
Thank you so much for this. You are wonderful! I also had the best burn yet. Nine years in and so looking forward to next year.... I hear there will be snow! Ha! bring it!!!
Sarah I was waiting for this and when I saw it I thought we will get the true story. This documentary of Burning Man 2023 will be right up there with the Woodstock movie, you have produced a historical primary source!
Not sure how I came across your channel but I REALLY REALLY enjoyed every second of it... Cheeks hurt from the smile that stuck to my face from the moment I started it the video!!! Thank you!!! Safe travels ❤
I had a feeling you were making a good time of it. Good lesson about embracing the moment and finding the positives. Especially when you get to camp out! Best times ever.
I read an article yesterday, i think from the Washington post. They interviewed Wonderhussy about the 2023 Burning Man festival. You now know who are the diehard Burners!
I saw a lot of haters posting in the comments section in that article. Saying things like "How can Sarah have so much time to waste in the muddy desert!" and other such nonsense. I'd say they are just jealous!
@@davidg4288 Jealous indeed, they haven't allowed themselves the ability to walk away from the daily grind of office work and do what Wonderhussy is doing. She isn't wasting her time; she is doing what she wants to do. More power to her!
I work as a movie extra in Vancouver, BC, frequently we use plastic bags on our feet inside our shoes to keep our socks feet dry during cold and rainy shoots.
So great to see coverage like this! You seem to always take any situation feel positive. Great video and coverage of Burning Man. Glad you were alright! ❤
Great video, really captures the nitty gritty of the burn without the glamor shots. I've been going since 2006 and took the year off, for many reasons you described. Seeing those that reveled in the crazyness this year have helped restore some of my faith. Thank you for having done a part in that! MUCK YER BURN!!!!
I get the feeling from the negative news coverage some are ramping up to try and stop future BM festivals out on that land. I enjoyed your coverage immensely and that’s for showing a lot of the art and interesting people.
Fabulous storytelling about this event. Thank you for posting this. From this video Burning Man 2023 seems like the Burning Man humanity needs. Good for us, not always good to us.
The NEWS IS TERRIBLE!! I laughed when they said people are running out of food and water within a couple days. These people were going for a WEEK and USUALLY in the HOT HEAT. They should have brought enough food and water for that. WHY would they run out so soon when the weather was cooler? SO HAPPY you are safe and had an INTERESTING historical burning man. Glad to finally hear from you!!
Came across this video by accident. Great job ,funny narration...and so real , i get the vibe you got. Nature brings things back to reality and challenges us . We accept or reject nature either way she don't care.. she just is...burn or no burn..😂🎉😅.. much love to you ❤hussy..🚴
I’m a corporate pilot and had several calls to come rescue stranded campers at burning man. The money was 4 and 5 times normal rates but I wasn’t taking a chance getting stuck in the mud on the airfield in a 7 million dollar plane in addition passengers tracking mud and dust on the seats and carpet. I could have chartered an older aircraft and had it detail cleaned at the rates people we willing to pay but it wasn’t worth the hassle. Hope everyone gets home we safe.
This illustrates the real attendees of the new Buring Man: wealthy corporate yuppies who care nothing about the environment and everything about promoting their shallow, narcissistic agenda.
I was at Sequoia National park when the stormed rolled in. 😅 We are used to having a sunny Labor Day weekend at sequoia. But this year was different too. We never made it to the water nor lake because it was cold !
Great video...my first time to see you...glad I clicked on your channel tonight...Best Time this Old 79 YO man has had in awhile...smiling all the way through with many laughfs, even some tears and even now as ai write this with watery eyes...What a Gal!!!---That Wonderhussy!!!!....wm-----P.S. Liked, Subscribed-ALL
So much fun to watch this and it's nice to see that the good ol' Burner humor is still around. I've been going since 2006 and have taken a few years off due to the heat, crowds, and that pesky "playa-pneumonia". I remember the day-long dust storm of 2008 that nearly canceled the Burn and people were freaking out then, but it didn't make the national news. Sometimes you just have to chill and go with the flow.
You're hilarious! I love your sense of humor. You had me laughing all the way through. Thank you! This was my first burn... I have to go edit my own Burning Man 2023 vlog now!
I just adore you, WH!! Thank you again for sharing your charm, wit, intelligence, and humor! From the streets of Vegas, to hidden hot springs, to the desert compound. You are willing to seek joy, work, contemplate, evaluate and act. I'm not sure what's next for you, I just hope you keep bringing me along for the ride!!❤
So glad you made it out safely! Part of me feels bad for the people who got stuck... but... I hope they learned their lessons hah hah! Thanks for the amazing video as always!
Glad your experience renewed your faith in Burning Man. Thanks for the humorous coverage of reality: it was hard to find any news other than grim predictions and reports about the event for days while mainstream news and internet focus was maximum fear-factor. As I saw, after searching on-line, people with true Burner spirit like you did not panic and enjoyed the weather with creative playa mud clay sculpting and waited for better weather to enjoy the belated burning of the man, art and art cars, dancing, music and ending ceremony of the temple burn. Great coverage of the classic Burn-feel, second-half of 2023 in Blackrock City. ☔🔥💃
23:38 That car was awesome they got me out of the playa and about 9 others. Drove though the muck like a champ! So happy I got to see that van before it got it's new coat of playa.
That is your best video yet, We have a star, even a burnt one. Well done and Thanks. It’s been over 20 years since media was worth watching here in Oz and your vlog ticked all the boxes.
I don’t know anything about RUclips, but if they give out awards, WONDERHUSSY should win, hands down, for her video on Burning Man 2023!! BRAVO! Excellent! Amazing job! 👏🏼👍🏼
I turned off my google news feed for a week when I saw the burning man news roll in. This was in anticipation for the Wonderhussy update! And I was not disappointed. Your EV belt was amazing! Well done Sarah. A true roving reporter inside view
Ahh but you did miss reporting from the perspective of folks that weren't as prepared as her for whatever came. And man oh man! You should see the mess left behind by the entitled jerks that have no clue what 'leave no trace' means!
Sarah, this coverage of Burning Man was so well done that it should be shown on the History channel as a documentary of the 2023 event. You did an excellent job including the fantastic narration. You should be very proud of this video.
Stunning and Brave!
Standing against capitalism by standing for communism, at a capitalist agenda gathering!
Standing against world pollution by polluting a desert!
Standing against racism and the oppressed, by abusing an Indian tribe and polluting the land!
Sounds like liberals!
Lmao the history channel
I loved this presentation (thank you}; however, I believe that we should love and appreciate the weekend warrior, too. @@Minouser8
Sucks big time!
i agree. bravo 👏 👏 👏
We lost my daughter this past Thanksgiving from brain cancer and her mural was in the temple this year even though she wasn’t able to be there in person and neither was I. Thank you for this is was the best and truest view of this year’s burning man and I wish I could have been there! 🎉
I'm very sorry for your loss. I am so Glad her mural made it to the temple..
May her soul, her memory, and her art remain as an everlasting testament to her brief life here among us mortals.
Blessings to you and your daughter. I was in the Temple. I wonder if I saw it? It was a beautiful Temple and they had many ceremonies and the philharmonic orchestra play inside of it. What a beautiful way to honor your daughter ❤
My deepest condolences! So very sorry for your loss.
May the Four Winds blow her safely home!
This made me happy. . . Thanks

Posers? Some people have a life. Some people have commitments to their work.
Work that benefits the rest of us.

Stumbled upon this wonderful story, I must admit this has been the most entertaining story I've ever experienced on RUclips. Great work !!
And finally, pcitures of the art, not only mud. Great video thanks!
Yah, there is some really awesome art and not enough pics out there of it. I saw there was a big bear sitting on a throne and his fur was made out of pennies standing on their sides!
Wonderful! I lived in New Orleans for many years, and this captures a similar vibe. People should always make their own fun and not expect it to be provided. Truly free-spirited
Yes, Jazz Festival EVERY year.. NOLA born and bred♥️ getting muddy at Jazz Fest is a tradition!

I took this year off, and as all of the insanity was pouring down the news cycle, I knew that all my hardcore burners were there celebrating life, regardless of the rain and mud. 2007 was my first year. And each year since, I lament the devolution/evolution of participation. But there is still a core of those magical folks that work so hard all year to make Going Home so incredibly special for all of us. I do hope one of these days our rainbow pads will cross somewhere out there in the big wild West! Thanks for this exceptional work of storytelling that beautifully grasps the true spirit of the event.
WonderHussy, that was an absolute enjoyable video account that kept things real. I remember the first Burning Man, and the drive was really cool greeting folks on the road, stopping and talking, cheering each other on, all so epic. Since I live in Nevada, this time of year is special with the almost journal to Burning Man Mecca travelers and the really cool ones sharing, very energizing and calming type of chill experience. Always look forward to it and them. I'm so glad (and relieved) that everything turned out to be A-okay for you and that all was not lost with the torrential rains and flooding and most of all: there was the BURN of The Man and also the Temple. You made the sun shine brighter and the rain be lighter in spirit. Thanks for sharing your special moments at Burning Man, WonderHussy. You are the BEST! Cheers
My husband and I have been waiting for your video to post. Thanks for setting the record straight. You tell the truth with great storytelling! Thanks, Wonderhussy!
This was my fave video from you yet 🤩 wow the intro was epic. Loved your perspective of it all from being there over a decade and your positivity that you shared with everyone. Well done!!
I loved the way those tribal police handled the climate protestors blocking the road
Nevada Rangers Rule !!!
Don't mess with the Tribal police!
any fo_l that paid money to go to that shit show deserves to be laughed at! still love you girl but i guess we all learn from our mistakes
Me too! They made the protesters cry. 😭😢 I liked that. 😅
Ya, but, the understanding is most of those attending, are the more-so Democrat's/§Liberal ..anti. T-man type...who shud LOVE those Hippie protesters.
Always been a fan and hoped someday I'd make it out there. As the years have gone by life has just evolved to the poiny that I'm now just enjoying the official live feed abd videos like this. You would definitely be a great neighbor to have in the desert and rain or no rain it would be a fun time. Glad you got the extended stay. One for the books! Thanks again. Great documentary driven coverage in the 1st person.
Thank you thank you thank you! I went in 09 and I get what your saying. I hope this years burn clears out some of that mud, and i hope to join you again next year, partly because my sister dared me to come back ❤
If not rain and mud then wind and dust. I'm surprised that other people were also there. This vlog is the best cover of burning man 2023.
Yaaay! That was exactly the update I was hoping for. I wondered how you faired and suspected that the "adverse" conditions might have been a blessing in disguise for true burners. So glad that turned out to be the case.
So glad we had YOU WH on the ground to report to us! Safe travels friend!
That was absolutely fabulous. Thank you so very much for sharing all the events and scenery and you joyful commentary. Lots of love Lynda from Texas.
It was awesome to finally meet you and chat a bit at the burn earlier in the week!
I was looking forward to this video! It was a weird burn, but awesome! After 10 years, I felt the same about it feeling very "normal" and not as magical in some ways when I first got on playa, but the rain stirred things up a bit! It was uncomfortable at moments, but being stuck in that situation with actual burners is probably one of the best groups to be with - generally prepared, going with the flow (ha!) and willing to push through to the other side.
Glad to hear what really happened at Mud Man and it wasn’t a disaster.👏👏
I have admit, Sarah, this one of your best videos yet. I think the smaller crowd helped. But the attendance was still over 70,000. I'm glad you were able to watch the MAN burn. The temple seems a more solum affair. And I'm glad the rain helped. It did cut down on the severity of your Playa Lung. Happy trails. 🎉
You create a mood and a feeling ( if those are different?) that really works for me. Introspective yet cheerful. Observing as well as participating. Letting all us armchair types experience it all. Thanks! 😍🙏
Best coverage of the muddy festival I have seen ! Thank you ! You have such a great positive attitude.
Wonderful human being you are Miss Sarah thank you for this video. Congratulations...
Let this be a lesson for anyone who thinks the news media is about facts and truth... They're not! They are about drama and sensationalism. Thanks Sarah! You're awesome!
What news were you watching? A muddy mess and the road closed is what I saw. And Wonder Hussy confirms it.
Imagine this weather every three out of four years.....then in your mind say.. "GLASTONBURY"...
Actually it was a lot worse than what they reported. Wonderhussy tends to stretch the truth to suit her own needs
@@phillipgraves4721Where you there?
Lol exactly I knew that burning still went on
This was such a well thought out on site report. So glad that the fun continued with so many partiers having such good attitudes. I have never been, but I hope maybe one day I might. Such a good event. Maybe those who are not real burners will rethink if they will return. Thank you for the video. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Very nice!!!
I felt the Temple burn.
Didn't expect that at all but I'm so glad I did!
Stay safe girl,we love you!
As a long time, older Burner (1998 - 2010 and a couple of others) I enjoyed your report. It looked like burn night and the temple were more like 1998 with 15,000 total in attendance. Great stuff!
Thank you so much for this. You are wonderful! I also had the best burn yet. Nine years in and so looking forward to next year.... I hear there will be snow! Ha! bring it!!!
good to see you made it out of the protesters and rain...onward and upward to your next adventures
Not enough warpaint for you
My first burn was in 2000. It has definitely grown to big for me but still looks fun.
Thanks for giving us a real look at what happened. ❤
Sarah I was waiting for this and when I saw it I thought we will get the true story. This documentary of Burning Man 2023 will be right up there with the Woodstock movie, you have produced a historical primary source!
Not sure how I came across your channel but I REALLY REALLY enjoyed every second of it... Cheeks hurt from the smile that stuck to my face from the moment I started it the video!!! Thank you!!! Safe travels ❤
SO GOOD!! I wish I could like it more than once!! Well captured and excellent commentary.
I had a feeling you were making a good time of it. Good lesson about embracing the moment and finding the positives. Especially when you get to camp out! Best times ever.
So glad you had fun and was renewed in the burn!🔥🌧🌈🌞 Thanks for the Huss report! 🎉❤😊
I read an article yesterday, i think from the Washington post. They interviewed Wonderhussy about the 2023 Burning Man festival. You now know who are the diehard Burners!
It could have been daily mail, thanks.
I saw a lot of haters posting in the comments section in that article. Saying things like "How can Sarah have so much time to waste in the muddy desert!" and other such nonsense.
I'd say they are just jealous!
@@davidg4288 Jealous indeed, they haven't allowed themselves the ability to walk away from the daily grind of office work and do what Wonderhussy is doing. She isn't wasting her time; she is doing what she wants to do. More power to her!
I work as a movie extra in Vancouver, BC, frequently we use plastic bags on our feet inside our shoes to keep our socks feet dry during cold and rainy shoots.
So great to see coverage like this! You seem to always take any situation feel positive. Great video and coverage of Burning Man. Glad you were alright! ❤
Much appreciated, you’re a great storyteller!
Great video, really captures the nitty gritty of the burn without the glamor shots. I've been going since 2006 and took the year off, for many reasons you described. Seeing those that reveled in the crazyness this year have helped restore some of my faith. Thank you for having done a part in that! MUCK YER BURN!!!!
I get the feeling from the negative news coverage some are ramping up to try and stop future BM festivals out on that land. I enjoyed your coverage immensely and that’s for showing a lot of the art and interesting people.
You best work to date , could feel the passion and pride in your roots , nice to be stripped back to basics every so often
So glad you were able to make lemonade. Your vid was like a letter from the other side. Love your spirit! signed a wonderwussy
Fabulous storytelling about this event. Thank you for posting this. From this video Burning Man 2023 seems like the Burning Man humanity needs. Good for us, not always good to us.
A thousand thumbs up to the best BM 2023 recap I've seen. Thanks!
The NEWS IS TERRIBLE!! I laughed when they said people are running out of food and water within a couple days. These people were going for a WEEK and USUALLY in the HOT HEAT. They should have brought enough food and water for that. WHY would they run out so soon when the weather was cooler? SO HAPPY you are safe and had an INTERESTING historical burning man. Glad to finally hear from you!!
It's to push climate change they sprayed the party with chemy trails
A classic video that is current. Loved the intro and the video was well muddy which I love. Keep making these amazing videos!
Came across this video by accident. Great job ,funny narration...and so real , i get the vibe you got. Nature brings things back to reality and challenges us . We accept or reject nature either way she don't care.. she just is...burn or no burn..😂🎉😅.. much love to you ❤hussy..🚴
I’m a corporate pilot and had several calls to come rescue stranded campers at burning man. The money was 4 and 5 times normal rates but I wasn’t taking a chance getting stuck in the mud on the airfield in a 7 million dollar plane in addition passengers tracking mud and dust on the seats and carpet. I could have chartered an older aircraft and had it detail cleaned at the rates people we willing to pay but it wasn’t worth the hassle. Hope everyone gets home we safe.
Funny to me how helpless rich people are.
This illustrates the real attendees of the new Buring Man: wealthy corporate yuppies who care nothing about the environment and everything about promoting their shallow, narcissistic agenda.
I read that the festival shut the airport down. And no way you could land in that slick mud.
Oh, I've been waiting on this one after the rains. Will be there next year! ❤ Haven't been since 2011 and so much has changed.
Ha...this is soooo good! Pulitzer worthy...One of your best videos of all time, and that's a pretty high bar.
I was at Sequoia National park when the stormed rolled in. 😅 We are used to having a sunny Labor Day weekend at sequoia. But this year was different too. We never made it to the water nor lake because it was cold !
Great video...my first time to see you...glad I clicked on your channel tonight...Best Time this Old 79 YO man has had in awhile...smiling all the way through with many laughfs, even some tears and even now as ai write this with watery eyes...What a Gal!!!---That Wonderhussy!!!!....wm-----P.S. Liked, Subscribed-ALL
You love to construct and tell stories…it shows! You are good at it. Love the storytelling and the humor! Lucky number 13 it was! Glad your ok!
So much fun to watch this and it's nice to see that the good ol' Burner humor is still around. I've been going since 2006 and have taken a few years off due to the heat, crowds, and that pesky "playa-pneumonia". I remember the day-long dust storm of 2008 that nearly canceled the Burn and people were freaking out then, but it didn't make the national news. Sometimes you just have to chill and go with the flow.
I remember that day. It was depressing and yet a day I can recall in detail with positivity.
What a great video, Enjoyed it so much. She tells it the way it is.
One of your best. Thank you!
You're hilarious! I love your sense of humor. You had me laughing all the way through. Thank you! This was my first burn... I have to go edit my own Burning Man 2023 vlog now!
I just adore you, WH!! Thank you again for sharing your charm, wit, intelligence, and humor! From the streets of Vegas, to hidden hot springs, to the desert compound. You are willing to seek joy, work, contemplate, evaluate and act. I'm not sure what's next for you, I just hope you keep bringing me along for the ride!!❤
So glad you made it out safely! Part of me feels bad for the people who got stuck... but... I hope they learned their lessons hah hah! Thanks for the amazing video as always!
Glad your experience renewed your faith in Burning Man. Thanks for the humorous coverage of reality: it was hard to find any news other than grim predictions and reports about the event for days while mainstream news and internet focus was maximum fear-factor.
As I saw, after searching on-line, people with true Burner spirit like you did not panic and enjoyed the weather with creative playa mud clay sculpting and waited for better weather to enjoy the belated burning of the man, art and art cars, dancing, music and ending ceremony of the temple burn. Great coverage of the classic Burn-feel, second-half of 2023 in Blackrock City. ☔🔥💃

That car was awesome they got me out of the playa and about 9 others. Drove though the muck like a champ!
So happy I got to see that van before it got it's new coat of playa.
That is your best video yet, We have a star, even a burnt one. Well done and Thanks. It’s been over 20 years since media was worth watching here in Oz and your vlog ticked all the boxes.
I don’t know anything about RUclips, but if they give out awards, WONDERHUSSY should win, hands down, for her video on Burning Man 2023!! BRAVO! Excellent! Amazing job! 👏🏼👍🏼
I turned off my google news feed for a week when I saw the burning man news roll in. This was in anticipation for the Wonderhussy update! And I was not disappointed. Your EV belt was amazing!
Well done Sarah. A true roving reporter inside view
Ahh but you did miss reporting from the perspective of folks that weren't as prepared as her for whatever came. And man oh man! You should see the mess left behind by the entitled jerks that have no clue what 'leave no trace' means!
Yes, so have i been waiting for eons to hear the real desert party news from Sarah. 🗣️📰🌵 Thank you Sarah!!
Hello There All !! ❤️
Best Coverage I have ever seen in all the years I have watched. Great Job! You really captured the essence of the event! Thanks! Made my day!
Sooooo loved this video!! Your a natural reporter!! U mixup gal!
