- Over 70'000s people from around the world come together in an unhospitable desert in Nevada, to build Black Rock City. Why and how is it only there for one week? What makes this place so special?

Thank you so much for watching it means the world to me, if you can subscribe that would be awesome and will bring me closer to making this one-day full-time gig. Much love! What is your favorite event you like to attend if you ever had the chance?
Buening Man def.
Burning man! But love Tomorrowland!
Such a nice slow, calm and warm glimpse of what is going on over there. Thanks!
love the vid. am a 20 year burner and seeing it through your eyes reminds me why spending weeks in the dust and months planning and building are worth it!!!!!!
this is the best video I have watched on the subject of Burning Man Thank you
Thank you for the kind words!
Great job sharing your experience. I have never been and so now i really want to go! Thank you!
Good job my friend. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed.
Great video and storytelling, you managed to keep it light and left the mystery behind, I personally decided not to vlog this time to be fully present, so it is nice to see your video, new york deli and that drip coffee place were the best hehe
Thank you! What camp you where you with or just out there?
@@amansmemories I was at Wrong Town, great camp but I’d love to go to Naked Heart one day 😊
A portable Disney Land in the desert for 2 weeks where you are the cast of characters dressed up in an array of costumes, but there are no amusement rides, just vehicle sculptures and bikes. The hippies used to be recognized for the 'Spread the Love' thing, but also added peace as well. It's too bad that because of the fine particles in the air and everywhere 'which irks me', that I can never attend...thanks for your take on BM !!
You could come in giant hamster bubble. You will fit right in. :)
Burning man is on my bucket list. You got a new subscriber,I hope it helps.
Great recap man! well done.
Great video brother. We shared a hookah on the Friday before the burn. You gave me chapstick. It was great to meet you.
Glad you enjoyed, my man. Great to meet you as well!
Met a lovely burner on Labor Day in Tahoe. I resisted the energy to hang out more. Been thinking of going to the burn for a long time but I keep resisting that too. I enjoyed seeing the burn through your eyes.
I think the media and other factors don't want too many people experiencing things that alter how one thinks about how life is lived/experienced. I remember hearing it takes about 5 million to create a paradigm shift. Life and the world we live in is so interesting. =)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Hey , New subscriber here. I occasionally support and subscribe to new folks . Great video ! Everyone should experience BM once in their Nomadic journey. Everyone will come away with something different. So toss out all those stale ideas , and go shopping for a fresh-baked perspective.
To clarify, the burning of the "man shaped figure" is an effigy. When Larry Harvey, the founder of Burning Man, started this ceremony in the mid-90's on Baker Beach (San Francisco) he made a figure and attached notes of the things he wished to release and let go. He burned the effigy and it symbolized the release of his past self and the opportunity to start anew. Many burners view the burning of the man ceremony as "the new year".
The "fuck your burn" statement (as much as I dislike it) is said to mean, "I'm having my own experience, you have yours... don't impose your experience on me". Kind of like saying- "have your own experience" in an odd way.
Thanks for sharing your experience, you shared really good information.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, well said. 🙏
I took an 18 year break from the playa until 2023. Hearing "fuck your burn" was strange to me. After enough people said it I understood the culture behind it but actually liked it even less. My first year was '96, last year of no rules, bm has really grown into a gifting phenomena. There are a few spectators now but they leave compelled to bring something to the playa next year and take lessons from the playa into real life. Props Larry. I know you're in the desert still. . .
Burning Man started in the mid 80s, not mid 90s
Fuck yer burn is a phrase which, if you use it, you know. Like, if you know, you know. If you don’t, it’s not offensive against anyone, you can let it go.
This coming from someone who’s camp motto is “If you die, we split your gear.” Again, it isn’t meant as a burn. It’s apocalyptic. There is all the great love for our people! Friends, lovers, burners, etc. Fuck the man.
Beautiful story…wonderful narration, ld love to know more 😊
I love the video. I was there also for the first time. I dont know how it took me till 45yo to go to burning man. I live only 4 hours away so its an easy every year thing for me from here on out. We went out to the playa on mushrooms every night. It was amazing beyond words. A video this awsome gets a sub. Thanks!
Thanks so much. It was great indeed!
This is the best burning man video I've seen. Very positive.
Thanks for watching.
“Wherever you end up is where you’re meant to be.” ❤ whether it’s lost or in the moment.
Really love this documentary. This was such a positive view of burning man. I really really want to go one day. Thankful for your positive words and encouragement - not just for burning man, but for what you learned and what it meant to you. Thank you!
Thank you Dan, glad you liked, it.
Great POV story, thanks.
You did a really great job with video and documentary. I think you did a good job with presenting the experience. No one can ever really cover what is a full burning man experience. Everyone’s is going to be different, some amazing s one awful, there will be those who have the worst experience but still return next burn, because of the depth of the lesson they learned from that experience. Only thing i wish you would have gone further into cost and prep work before even leaving for the burn.
Thanks Peter, there is another video I got explaining the breakdown on cost. Check it out.
Well done. I feel like you really got the message. Thank you.
I love how they brought so much artificial light they can’t see the Milky Way blazing overhead.
You actually can if you go deep enough into the playa! Did you go?
Burning Man started in San Francisco at Baker Beach 1986. Quickly outgrew the area and moved to Nevada
Ugg so many lost souls. Thinking they’re so wise and enlightened. Crowley said the same thing as did the fallen angels. “Do what thou wilt” and “you can be like God”… Deception level 9/10.. so many demons there I’m sure the energy is intense as well as deception.. Go ahead open those doors
Love ya dude!!! Nice piece :)
Thanks Love ya, too!
I’m old enough to remember when cameras were basically illegal at burning man
I am old enough to remember that a camera was too heavy and ride a bike at the same time. ;)
And only a few thousand showed up.
@@amansmemories. Yes, that's before today's technology that included action cameras and smartphones for relatively easy high-quality production. The Burning Man producers contracted with "official" videographers and they wanted to control/exclude the "pirates".
I had to register my camera my first burn and had a visible tag on the strap.
cool that you tried workshops and smaller events instead just partying, shows a different side of BM - thanks
As a first Burner I really understood your experience. Good story, really well filmed and edited too.
(out of curiosity: which camera did you use?)
Thanks for the support! Everything was filmed on a Osmo Pocket 3 and a DJI Mini 3 Pro.
@@amansmemoriesI guess you were one of lucky 30 that got a drone permit!
For how many days were you in Black Rock? How much did this cost you...for EVERYTHING? Was it worth it? If you were a cost/benefit analyst for a consulting firm, did your benefits exceed your costs? Would a seventy nine year old guy/old hippie get the same benefits for the costs? Are you ever going back?
You can see all my full cost analysis and take aways here. ruclips.net/video/qGiMPqjzCQc/видео.htmlsi=fV0EoHERRXINaQtr
How did you get the drone footage? I read that there are very few people able to fly a drone and due to proximity of the small airport they resurrect, along with rules about no drone flying.. its pretty much impossible.
I can't give away all my secrets but thanks for watching.
Just subcrubed, good job! thanks, keith in New Mexico
Thanks for the support Keith! Appreciate it.
@@amansmemories Hi Chris, I was interested in seeing your homemae swmp cooler, you mentioned it in unboxing video of tent in your garage. I watched the whole thing, and at the end you said about the cooler: "see the BM video". I really would like to see where you show it, can you reply with exact place? thanks Chris, Keith in NM
way to go bud
Love is the mission
Very groovy, very groovy indeed.
You did a lot right, including not filming people directly especially in the temple
Thanks for watching. I tried to be respectful and seeked permission from individuals who had a close up.
hello from Romania, Transylvania
Thx for sharing. And ow yeah people, real people wanna be loved and seen in this crazy matrix world full of bs. This burningman party is a goatrance-party. These are always this way. With one small difference. Its alot cheaper. But the same vibe.
We the people are one. We all want the same. The time has come to change our ways, our systems of control. These parties and this vibe its just how the world should be.
Love, peace and light
Thanks for the lovely words and I agree.
My job is working live events. Most every year, I get an email with a bid to work Burning Man. And every time, I decline. Same thing with Coachella. 🤦♂️
Great videos and insights. Can we have the details of your set ip? Dome tent with AC!!! Did you have and uour mates agenerator onsite ?
Thanks for watching! You can see the details of my tent here ruclips.net/video/_jmGVY3HjJA/видео.htmlsi=GUVcnIAYKImaf8Zp - I made a swamp cooler with a 12v DC fan and a radiator system, this was powered by a 100w solar panel. The cooler was filled with 80% ice and water. It would last for about 2 to 3 days. It made my tent a fresh 75F.
ok i didn't think they burned the man with the LED's still on it, not down for that.
Your recap at the end. You got it
It is so hilarios that something that is supposed to be freeing, such an expression of individuality, a cry to the impoartance of human liberty and expression; all happening in a city named after the corporation trying to buy up all the housing in Amercica so every person is a slave to their Lordship. The Irony is soo think its nausiating. Blackrock is the biggest Burn "controlling effort in all of society".
The desert where it is held was called the Black Rock desert long beforehand
@@alexandrehenri-bhargava2741 Hey, I apreciate the heads up. Thanks.
Everyone should visit this festival in their lifetime 🥺
What festival?
@@potato11teenburning man
What if it’s not ones preferred aesthetic?
decommodification makes it special
Do you have to pay for that food?
@@karlfonner7589 hi Karl, I'm just a viewer who has washed hours of burning Man videos.
There is no money exchanged, they used to sell coffee but they quit that and now the only thing they sell is ice. Anyone add to that?
Thanks Keith! There is 10 guiding principles to burning man and one of them is decommodification. People gift you things and that is it. The only thing you can buy is ice.
@@amansmemories Hi Chris, thanks for replying, I love that. I don't remember if you said in this video...Do you plan on going NEXT year to Burning man? Would you bring electric bike?
There is not even barter. You gift because seeing someone happy with what you've given them feels really good. It's not quite the same as birthday or holiday gift...that's expected and thus a bit of a chore. To experience it, try giving someone something out of the blue. It creates a moment and gives the thing special value.
e.g. the T-Shirts and silk screening are that camps gift to the community. The sound camps...and major art cars? That's their gift. The folks who put on talks or create cool down spaces with misting water? You get the idea. It's quite an adjustment.
I imagine the BMORG could gift the ice but people would would likely take more than they actually needed. But in their defense, they could charge whatever they wanted but the prices remain reasonable.
The other thing you need cash for out there is to get your RV's black & gray water pumped.
There are no money transactions at burning man. You bring something to give. So does everybody else. It’s all given away.
Reminds me of woodstock
Big money.......corporates gonna take over surprised they havent already
How much in total did you spend ?
Under $1500 if that is helpful but that includes a new tent I bought for almost $700.
@@amansmemories Thank you
@@SaxmanMonte I actually made a full breakdown in my new video. It was more..
Привет Бро, зачётный видос, напиши пожалуйста что за тема звучит на 3 мин. 11 сек. Буду очень благодарен 👋👍
Nice video, but you need to get closer to the mic. Your voice sounds too quiet and distant.
Thanks for the feedback!
So many filming and not participating
what are the odds for a straight man hooking up at bm?
That's what tinder is for but the chance is there haha
Doesn’t sand get on all the, “delicious food.?”
That can happen friend but people are pretty good about lids on pots. ;)
it's not sand, it's more like a fine talc. After a day or two you get used to it being ~everywhere ;) But you don't even notice it on food... it's not like being at the beach there stuff gets crunchy
Too hot for my skin 😮
No thanks. Work for a living..
Ben but I work for a living...working on living my best life.
And it's all solar power so burners are saving the planet too! BTW, where can I take a crap with bio degradable shit paper?
You go to the bio degradable toilet, duh.
What’s wrong with getting drunk and having sex all week?
No thanks
Billion dollar businesses
We are food to the meat eaters. ,,watch it........😂😂😂😂😂
Gross
It's not what it use to be.
