I'm in communication with the restoration team and have applied to go out next week to help. My understanding is that they are compacting the playa ruts with heavy equipment. They do this every year but this year will need to do this more extensively. The event closure permit still has a couple weeks left before Burning Man will be tested and graded by the BLM, and that is the bar we must pass and have passed for almost two decades.
I was there. Too many people panicked. Sure, some of us had life things to get back to but I was able to leave on Monday without much additional delay over my planned return. It was just stupid to try to drive out of there while things were wet.
Same story for me, normally leave Sunday afternoon, left Monday evening. The news definitely blew it out of proportion. The Resto crew has some contraptions they drag behind trucks to help even out ruts, so those will at least be mitigated, and then after a few big rains they should fade or disappear.
@@DoctorDugong21 that’s bullshit, flying over it is hardly a good judge of the damage. The deposit should be forfeited, a few big rains will likely take decades to occur and they will hardly disappear. The BLM gets incensed if you drive on freshly graded roads when wet, the ruts only disappear after extensive grading.
Your partner's nausea is caused by her looking at her phone while moving it around. Put her phone away and have her look ahead while minimizing head movements. I'm sure she'll feel much better.
I married a girl exactly like this princess. I thought it was cute at first, on phone all the time, cant do anything without coffee didn't remember anything we did together. Move on my man
Hey Trent, thank you so much for this update!!! Great job!!! I'd be curious to see what the playa looks like in another few weeks once they are done with cleanup.
Hailey, you are much safer at a higher elevation. The lower you fly the more dangerous it gets. Flying high allows time for Trent to react incase of an engine failure or air frame issue. Hope this helps you!
they are both young.. but damn she hits a nerve, I've unfortunately dated similar girls and they were so obnoxious, princess attitude with no humility is a no go.. not saying she is, I just get that impression..
I grew up similar....One time dad landed a rented Piper in our bottom land...Us kids got off the bus and took off with Dad. Our buddy said we "hit the trees taking off"
Don’t have time to read all the comments, I gotta get some sleep and wake up to walk another 7 miles tomorrow with playa restoration lol. But the few I scrolled through didn’t mention that this isn’t just a dry lake bed, but a full on lake all winter. The playa surface irregularities m recondition a lot faster because of it than say a dry basin. Some folks panicked and left a trace, we’re taking care of it. That’s our job and we’re doing it.
Trent, I’m not an expert on the desert, but I’ve seen completely blown out mud pits in the forest that would look like massive destruction and then got back the next year and it was like nothing happened. It’s pretty incredible. Can you do another show next spring and see what it looks like? That would be a great follow up. Thanks for sharing the real story and not the sensationalized news. Good job to Haley holding it together 😉
Yup I live in the Pacific Northwest where people are extremely environmentaly sensitive. I do construction so have to hear about it constantly but it's the same here that you can do extensive earth moving, vegetation disturbing, etc.... And in under a year you would never know anyone was there. The earth is really quite resilient and had an incredible ability to heal itself. Not saying we don't need to be responsible though I'm just saying it's not as delicate as some people think. I think it was made into a bigger deal at burning man since so many of the people that attend it are pretty extreme environmentalist that many people probably saw it as hypocritical
@@Dunriteproducts we live in the NE corner of WA and have a similar view point. Due to fires, we’re at much higher risk of neglect than we are of destructive use.
Yeah, good to see an update. "Ruts and footprints" look significant, but they truly aren't. The next time it rains, that entire playa will have a couple inches of water, again. All that dust will level out.
@@drutterThe ruts and footprints will be gone within a few weeks, there's still hundreds of employees and volunteers working out there on restoration. The BLM's final inspection isn't until October.
I was out on the playa last weekend for the rocket launch. I have a phone number that you can call to get permission to enter the TFR cylinder. There will be another TFR this weekend as well. I was expecting the playa to be trashed by people fleeing the muddy conditions but it was actually better than I expected. Westside road was flooded when I arrived, but almost passable when I departed 10 days later. Vehicles left inside the Burning Man perimeter were declared to be abandoned by the event organizers and removed from the playa to allow the clean-up to proceed. They have 30 days to mitigate the area following the event.
It's so weird to me that Hailey thinks flying low is less scary. I'm just thinking about how an engine problem means an immediate forced landing wherever you are, no time to troubleshoot.
To much time on your hands can lead to over thinking a problem..* some people work beat at quick high pressure situations. I make most my bad decisions in life when I wait and think on it to long. Gut decisions work faster and work out.
It is counteiintuative, since the two things needed for safety is airspeed and altitude. Low isn't as safe, but there's a lot of flat land with no obstructions there.
Looking at the comments, it probably would've been useful for Trent to point out that there's still hundreds of employees and volunteers working out there for weeks yet on the "resto" team up until the BLM's final inspection in October, and the later stages of the resto process involves pulling drags behind tractors to knock the ruts down and smooth out the surface. I flew out there for a look yesterday evening (9/20) and they were actively working on resto and a number of water trucks were spreading water on the rutted areas. @trentonpalmer, fly back over again in a couple weeks for comparison and show the actual final state after the resto team finishes.
The inspection standard every year is that we are not allowed more than one square foot of debris per every acre. So we need to be between 0-0.002% to pass. Trust that we are being thorough, resto is doing an amazing job and has been for the past 20+ years 🙏🏽
I talked to a Borg environmentalist at Bman the night of temple burn. She tokd me BLM was pleased with the way the Borg handled all the rain and the situation. She also told me they are actually gonna come in and plow the playa with heavy equipment. She said that they rotate every year abd have 3 locations. Giving this location 3 years to recover.
The BMORG (Burning Man ORGanization) is still working on restoration to their Leave No Trace goal. It always takes a considerable amount of time to finish, but I'm sure this year will take longer than normal. I just recently got an email offer to volunteer to help out for a couple of days this month that I wish I could manage, alas... three days driving for two days work, followed by three days drive back home just isn't in the cards for me. Too bad, those folks are a lot of fun to work with.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 jesus your dense, not every worker is going to be working from start to finish, he didn't say it would only take 3 days. The inspection is in October for a reason
@@pulse3732 that wasn't my claim. There are 2 windows for volunteer shifts available right now and they are both for 3 days. The windows are separated by 4? days. All I was saying was the volunteer shifts were for 3 days of work (not 2). Any other meaning was added by your brain, not mine.
Thanks Trent, as always a video with lots of interest and cool flying sometimes building but thats cool too. I live two valleys south of you and have worked, hunted and motorcycled much of the terrain you flew today. At about 2:06 you are about to fly over Dog Skin Mountain and the road below is in Bedel flat just north of Moon Rocks. A comment on the Black Rock Playa ruts. The playa is predominantly clay and when the playa gets a couple inches of water on it the clay will "melt" and the wind wave action will gently move the clay into the low areas thus healing the lake bed back to classic flats. Probably next summer another fly over will settle the "damage" debate.
Is hot a lot of the year around there, and she don’t like flying up where it’s cold. Would LOOK cool tho. ~;D I suggest a “bump cap”, a light duty and slightly smaller version of hard hat. I picked up one at a yard sale, used it for several seasons tree planting. Cut away a lot of the dome, leaving the front high and the back somewhat high. The suspension (innards) lets air flow, except I used some kind of cloth (~bandana? -was ~20 yrs ago) in that space for Sun shield, and wet that for more cooling sometimes. I never have looked them up, but I’d guess they are still a thing. Probably available in many colours, and you could turn them around on the suspension if so desired (have seen this with regular hard hats); not my thing). Cheers from Edmonton AB.
This is so cool. Flying about freely and then seeing another buddy to your left. What a beautiful day for flying and checking it out. Amazing. Love, light and blessings from UK 🇬🇧
I rememeber back in 1997 when Thrust SSC flew down Blackrock Desert at 750mph+ on a perfectly smooth surface... to see that now would be more akin to a Rallycross track. Mental!
Best tire track video ever if you’re into that type of thing. Excellent 90% head shots of the RUclips stars if you’re into that type of thing. Excellent product commercials if you’re into that type of thing. Another 13 minutes and 12 seconds of my life I can never get back.⌛️ A couple of good dust storms and you’ll never know anybody was there just like tho Sphinx. Until next year.🐫
Hey Y'all, A big tractor with some large soil conditioning apparatus would resolve the rut issues in short order. Nice flight, just tooo short. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Good job ... heard all the horror from the news stations, but friends who were there said it wasn't that bad, just very messy ... the stories were made by the "panic" folks .... luckily it didn't end up too bad ... and though many will rage over the "environemntal" damage .. there really isn't much .. a quick dragging with a farrow or grader would be fine ... the desert will reclaim this very quickly with the wind and weather.
I went to burning man in 2013 for the first and last time. I was so excited to meet such great people, but was very upset that maby only the half of them were honest clean people, and the other half were fake lazy trash leaving wanabe's. And with the prices trippled to get in, in my opinion it is very far from what it once was. It's a shame that something I grew up so fascinated with has turned out the way it did.
What a shame that you would let some others impact your personal life and choices to enjoy yourself there. This was my second year, completely changed my life for the better✌️
It would be difficult at times to enjoy without noticing the human shortcomings. I would want the positive to be the larger take away overall. Humans are the dirtiest living creature on this planet, bar none. After one gets that filed way back in the mind then just enjoy and try to be responsible and accountable for yourself. We cannot vouch for others. I have tried over my entire life to be the guardian of our species in such that I care and have tried picking up after those that do not envision as I. At this point in life now, I have run out of patience in so much that caring has definitely left me. I am a very patient individual but, out of anything that will boil that is simply....human ignorance & stupidity. Part of this is how I am feverishly taxed and yet have no say about where that goes and those that evade the responsibility when being apart of this race.
It's not possible to have a gathering of 70,000 people and not leave any trace. Once they allowed the first Burning Man at Blackrock, the landscape was changed forever.
Yeah what about all the other prestine landscapes that have been changed forever? Probably including the house and community you live in, and the shopping center where you buy groceries. And the farms where those groceries come from. And the trash dump where all your garbage goes. Give me a break.
2:00 Hayley, being higher up in a plane is actually safer. Since it takes longer to get down, it gives the pilot more time to try and fix whatever problem there is on the way down. For a human, anything over 10 feet up is usually lethal when falling down, so it doesn't make a difference if you're at 100 feet or 10000. Except 10000 gives the pilot a chance to do something about the "falling" part... ;-) Unless your desire to fly lower comes from being able to see more on the ground, then it's ok, of course! 🙂
@@anthonydewitt7674 Replace the 10 feet I quoted with 30. 30 feet of altitude is nothing to a plane, but falling from a 3rd floor window? Ouch. The argument still stands
2:20 I can tell you flying home over those mountains after reno I did not like flying that close to the ground! Haha. Altitude is safety! It was great to meet you at the STOL area on Saturday. I am uploading my reno video today!
Aloha Thanks for video on burning mans playa.i was hoping to go to burning man this year for the my first time but ended up dealing with our horrible disaster on our beautiful Maui island.Amazing how so many disasters happened during a period of time this year..from maui ,the playa ,china etc .God Bless both of you and again thank you.from elsa 74 yr old on maui.
Not true for the playa. A set of ruts won't make it a season or as it self-levels through the winter wet and summer dry cycle. Oregon Trail ruts are on a very different type of soil.
I don't really see that ruts constitutes damage to the area, it's just clay, as soon as it gets wet again it'll sort itself out pretty quickly. I'm glad to see that there was no rubbish or vehicles still there.
If you look from Satellite images you can see the overlapping sites from years past.. Its not always in the same exact location. They move it around a bit and let the playa heal over time.
Hey.. Thanks, y'all for these videos. Please do flyovers again throughout the winter so we can see how Mother Nature resettles the Playa. And if you can capture overheads of the progress. This is going to be cool to watch. I'm glad I found your channel.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Thank you for another great video. I spent 17 years out there, most working but....yeah, they do a great job scouring the desert for the garbage. It's town that gets the 'leave no trace' idiots aftermath of dumping. Great video, girl, I'm with ya! Live to fly small planes but heights are tough. Let's have more of you in the videos please!
Height gives you two things you desperately want in an emergency, airspeed and time. Maintain your glide slope and you’ve got all the time you’ll need to do whatever it is you need to do or sacrifice a little of your altitude for airspeed depends entirely on what emergency your dealing with
Really.....there is no "damage" as far as I'm concerned with the amount of people there or even excessive garbage. Have you ever seen a garbage dump! Or India? This is pristine!
I heard a radio interview with the guy who is in charge of the cleanup crew. He's been doing it for fifteen years or so, and he has no concerns at all about getting all the trash cleaned up, even after the muddy days. He said he has a crew of several hundred people, and a month after the event to get it cleaned up before the BLM inspects. I'm glad to learn that they seem to be getting it cleaned up!
Her perspective doesn't appear to be making progress. I mean, really. No appreciation for an airborne view? "Opps! I bumped my head? This isn't as comfortable as sitting in my living room watching The Price is Right"? What's wrong with this girl?
I encourage you to put on your bucket list to fly back to the Burning Man site after the rains have stopped, probable early to mid summer, when the Playa is dry again, and see if the ruts are still there.
The energy consumed, the CO2 and waste produced both at the event and in the subsequent “clean up” for a mob of “party goers” isn’t no impact, it isn’t low impact either……
Its cool that they have something in place to hold everyone accountable for the use of the land. People may hate on the festival, but I guarantee, no other festival in the world would be that well cleaned up so soon and after the mud they dealt with
Thanks for flying back and showing the playa. Probably still needs a lot of cleaning still to do. Maybe they come back with tractors to smooth out the ruts. I gotta think they will do all they can to repair the damage. Cheers!
Your first video I saw with you and your buddy going out before burning man... great. This one reminded me of my ex wife always bitching about everything.
There are ruts from wagon wheels on the side of Pike's peak dating to the 1800's. They are going to need a lot of heavy equipment to get those ruts out. So much for leave no trace.
Pikes Peak isn’t a dry lake bed, you don’t know what you’re talking about. The usual winter snow and rains will level once again like it has for centuries.
Were you at the Reno air show? Great show until the sad ending... we left at 2:00 to head home and luckly missed the terrible ending.. Not much else to say. Like your channel lots, have been watching for awhile.... thought I was subscribed but did again, keep up the great content..
If they don't actively repair those ruts, those scars can easily last a solid decade or more. I've been offroading my whole life with a vacation house near a couple different lakebeds. I've seen them go from perfectly flat to completely torn up with ruts over the years, and they stay that way. Erosion happens extremely slow in these parts of the desert.
I was actually there. I can tell you that the Playa is made of a very strange material. I think the land will actually do a bit of self repair once it floods and becomes a lake. The mud acted a lot more like clay than mud. The interesting thing about that is as we walked on it it actually started to harden and flatten. Like clay, it is actually very fragile and once it dries it cracks. While I think there will be a bunch of ruts next year, since Burning Man takes place in the same area on Playa, I imagine all the cars and foot traffic will actually flatten it out the rest of the way!
@@bootsparamour Once it dries that dirt is extremely hard. Even with all the traffic out there during the event it will still take many years to erode back to flat. I don't think many people understand just how long it takes for lakebeds to recover from vehicle ruts like this. I vividly remember the lakebed at Giant Rock being pristine in the late 90's. There was a storm around 2000 and some idiots put a bunch of ruts right down the middle of the lakebed. It has still not recovered to this day, and that's with 2 decades of offroaders frequenting the area helping it erode away. As I said in my original comment, unless somebody actively works to repair those ruts, that scarring can easily last a decade or longer.
Correct. People delude themselves into thinking that the desert is some forgiving, quickly self repairing ecosystem immune to the effects of human activity. I've already had a few discussions with people that think the playa will just magically repair itself. Sad part is that 99 percent of the damage could have been prevented. @@KevPV
@@KevPVthey go out with water and equipment to rake it smooth. I read an article earlier today from a guy who's been on cleanup duty for 15 years and he said it'll be just fine in another week or two.
Glad to see it clear of debris. The scarification is pretty bad though. I was there and I felt pretty bad about it. It did start to polish out on our block, but there was a ton of surface damage. I think a few rains should clean it up quite a bit.
@@sofiamalmia Thats great news! Thank you for the info! In our camp we figured out we could pull up the chunks of mud that were out of place, and then drive over them with our cars. We then raked it all flat. I don’t know how many other camps took that kind of care but we left with a clear conscience.
Great video. Thank you. I was concerned your GF made cavalier comments that Winter would fix ruts or it wasn’t that bad. Those of us who recreate on the Playas now lesser ruts take years to heal. Also the flyby doesn’t address roadside trash, and impacts to small towns (you did mention the Loves gas station issues). We will be out there looking for buried rebar and nails which is a “hidden” issue.
You should teach her how to fly so she can be more comfortable with all the instruments and the altitude. Also she can take over flying if there was an emergency of you passing out and dying due to the constant nagging.
Hopefully DPW will be back to drag and mitigate the ruts. As for the people that left, shame on them. They are not burners, they didn't read the survival guide, and they suck. On the bright side, maybe the media scared the influencers and other spectators away~!~Clean up went pretty dang well, and they are not done~!~
I am not a burner myself, but I have no problem with what they support. And they clean-up after themselves a hell of a lot better then most festival goers. As for some bad apples, every crowd has them, and they are usually revealed about the time stuff hits the fan. What I am surprised about are how many knuckle draggers there are posting negative comments about the festival on Trent's previous videos.
@@charlesmartin1121 I missed that, but have seen a plethora of neg comments from people that know absolutely nothing. When Katrina hit, Burners Without Borders were there before anyone, and that happened during the event. BTW, we are not a festival. We are a 100% participation event, spectators are not welcome.
The ruts are underwater every winter, fill with silt and they disappear . Wagon trains came out west 150 years ago, the only thing that's left is the ruts in Solid Rock, but I'm sure these marks will just last forever 👌😔
Something tells me that girl no mater what Trent did for her or the adventure he brought her with on! instead of just enjoying the moment with Trent she would rather be on her phone with Facebook or what ever app she really loves then just enjoying the moment with Trent!
In her defense when she got caught looking at her phone she was looking something up for Trent. However you would think if your husband had an airplane you wouldn't have a problem flying.
People get used to flying in small planes just like they get used to flying in large planes. Some days I ask my son if he wants to go fly and he still enjoys it, but above all he'd probably just enjoy staying home and playing video games, not that I let him 😉 He'll thank me when older and he's got some real memories with his old man.
@@keithrickson8522 yhea I sure do wish I had that with my dad. The cool thing for him? He will probably get his pilot license when he is a bit older! He might not realize how awesome it is right now! But he will!
Just an idea for your girls noggin. I have a baseball cap that has a hard liner to prevent the odd bump causing one head pain. I drilled a few more ventilation holes in my inner liner which helps keep one cool. Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK
A Burner from South Afrika here...those scenes are really shocking to me. That is definitely no "Leave no trace" event. Kinda illustrates exactly why we twice decided to cancel plans to attend Burning Man. My concern is that those traces will still be visible a thousand years from now. Maybe your desert is different to others. I hope so. Thanks for the video, Trent - peace to youze too....
It is different. First, the cleanup is not yet completed. Playa restoration is done in a couple of weeks. Next, the yearly rains settle the surface. Third, the actual site is rotated between 3 locations every year. Fourth, this is a dry lakebed, and the surface is boron dust. It is different from sand deserts. Just FYI.
@@DonoVideoProductions good to know its different and thanks for saying so. Our Burn site gets rain hardly ever and those kind of markings of the ground remains for years n years. I know clean-up takes a long time and the last of the moop can take a month to be picked up. I am interested to watch how this evolves. Also I did not know that there were several sites and the event was rotated amongst them. Thanks for this comment.
@@DonoVideoProductions And Fifth: Liberals really don't give a shlt about the environment anymore, they are mostly jaded left wing sheep that virtue signal to care about anything while supporting every single large multinational cause, and China. Big pharma, big tech, the military industrial complex, Mainstream media, social media...liberals are their foot soldiers now. Conservatives are MORE liberal in every way. Look at the cities where these "people" come from, 100% polluted crime ridden garbage dumps...while they rage on about conservatives and red states...I rest my case.
FYI… For a catalytic converter to become plugged with mud, that mud would first have to pass through the intake air box, intake filter, intake valves, then be compressed within the cylinders, detonated, then pushed out of the exhaust valves and into the exhaust system where the catalytic converter is. The engine would stall well before that could possibly happen.
@@raymondpaulin2541 With all due respect… If the tailpipe were plugged, the car would stall out well before the converter could heat up to those dangerous temps. Don’t believe me, try it for yourself. I’ve been building vehicles to play in the mud since I was a teen in the early 90’s and what you’re suggesting is merely imaginative and not reality. I have 20+ years of experience actually doing this on the regular. It’s a lot of fun, I suggest you give it a try. 🍻
I'm not sure what aircraft you're referring to that is cheaper than a car... the average C150 is $30,000 right now. A 1970's C172M ranges from the $70,000 - 120,000. A brand new C172 NXi from the factory will cost you somewhere around $475,000 last I checked in 2021. Even the milkstool Tri-Pacer are frequently going for $30-50,000 when they were only $20,000 mid-range 5 years ago.
We used to tour over cool spots in Ontario like Long Point for instance. Mid flight I looked over my shoulder to check on our 12 year old daughter only to find her laying across the back seat reading. I mean, what can I say? I guess having parents that fly must not be such a cool thing after all.
That is always nice to see that you can just fly right from your home now. Hailey always makes the Video complete being with you. Always thank you for your contact and the time it takes. To make this happen.
As soon as you admit that cities are also a bad idea. It’s a dry lake bed the next rain will level it again like it has for centuries. Burning Man org always gets the playa back to the way it was, the BLM makes sure of it.
As many negative posters as I've seen here, I don't think some of them should attend. There's not enough tickets for all the happy people who want to attend.
Trent I've viewed two of your video posts, video clarity outstanding, commentary purposeful. Your our eye in the sky, hoping the playa recovers with man's assistance.
omg! I would walk 5 miles just to get away from her! She's so annoying. how could you sit next to her for that whole flight? "When we're flying"? My dream is to be a realtor...
Playa Restoration Crew isn't done and completed. Fly off next month and do an update video please! I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of pissed off people if you don't. I guarantee you guys will be amazed. You won't even know that Burning Man happened In that area of the playa.

Well, like they say, one stupid person will ruin it for the rest of us. Just in this case, it was thousands of stupid people. 👀
Well let’s just dispel the no trace theory, I’ve lost track of how many claiming it is back to normal.

Hey Trent, thank you so much for this update!!! Great job!!! I'd be curious to see what the playa looks like in another few weeks once they are done with cleanup.
Hailey, you are much safer at a higher elevation. The lower you fly the more dangerous it gets. Flying high allows time for Trent to react incase of an engine failure or air frame issue. Hope this helps you!

Don’t have time to read all the comments, I gotta get some sleep and wake up to walk another 7 miles tomorrow with playa restoration lol.
But the few I scrolled through didn’t mention that this isn’t just a dry lake bed, but a full on lake all winter.
The playa surface irregularities m recondition a lot faster because of it than say a dry basin.
Some folks panicked and left a trace, we’re taking care of it. That’s our job and we’re doing it.
More shots of the ground, less inside the plane. Thanks for traveling out there!
It had to be said
it's like motorcycle channels, beautiful scenery but they have the camera turned on them so you watch a helmet
And less talking from her. She mispronounces realtor.
Trent, I’m not an expert on the desert, but I’ve seen completely blown out mud pits in the forest that would look like massive destruction and then got back the next year and it was like nothing happened. It’s pretty incredible. Can you do another show next spring and see what it looks like? That would be a great follow up. Thanks for sharing the real story and not the sensationalized news. Good job to Haley holding it together 😉
Earth melt. Anyone whose built a bmx track knows it just melts back.
Yup I live in the Pacific Northwest where people are extremely environmentaly sensitive. I do construction so have to hear about it constantly but it's the same here that you can do extensive earth moving, vegetation disturbing, etc.... And in under a year you would never know anyone was there. The earth is really quite resilient and had an incredible ability to heal itself. Not saying we don't need to be responsible though I'm just saying it's not as delicate as some people think. I think it was made into a bigger deal at burning man since so many of the people that attend it are pretty extreme environmentalist that many people probably saw it as hypocritical
@@Dunriteproducts we live in the NE corner of WA and have a similar view point. Due to fires, we’re at much higher risk of neglect than we are of destructive use.
Living in the desert SW, it takes a little more wind and rain to get things back looking natural; and the rain is in short supply.
You can tell she can't go one day without her phone 😂😂
💯 I'm pretty sure a lot of people have that problem.😂

That is the first thing that stood out to me first video she appeared in...
One day?
How about a hour?
Thanks for the video. I was really hoping you would do this one.
Yours is the only boots on the ground update I've been able to find since the exodus.
Yeah, good to see an update.
"Ruts and footprints" look significant, but they truly aren't. The next time it rains, that entire playa will have a couple inches of water, again. All that dust will level out.
@@drutterThe ruts and footprints will be gone within a few weeks, there's still hundreds of employees and volunteers working out there on restoration. The BLM's final inspection isn't until October.
What is BLM in this context? Sorry for maby stupid question but I'm not Yankee:]

I was out on the playa last weekend for the rocket launch. I have a phone number that you can call to get permission to enter the TFR cylinder.
There will be another TFR this weekend as well.
I was expecting the playa to be trashed by people fleeing the muddy conditions but it was actually better than I expected. Westside road was flooded when I arrived, but almost passable when I departed 10 days later. Vehicles left inside the Burning Man perimeter were declared to be abandoned by the event organizers and removed from the playa to allow the clean-up to proceed.
They have 30 days to mitigate the area following the event.
It's so weird to me that Hailey thinks flying low is less scary. I'm just thinking about how an engine problem means an immediate forced landing wherever you are, no time to troubleshoot.
To much time on your hands can lead to over thinking a problem..* some people work beat at quick high pressure situations.
I make most my bad decisions in life when I wait and think on it to long.
Gut decisions work faster and work out.
@@notfamouschristopher Yeah it's clear you're not adding much to a situation with your thoughts....
I had no idea the mad cleanup effort they undertake every year there that is planned and required. That's pretty cool.
It is counteiintuative, since the two things needed for safety is airspeed and altitude. Low isn't as safe, but there's a lot of flat land with no obstructions there.
Agreed, ditch the co pilot.
Yea, sounds like she doesn't even want to fly with so many complaints.
Looking at the comments, it probably would've been useful for Trent to point out that there's still hundreds of employees and volunteers working out there for weeks yet on the "resto" team up until the BLM's final inspection in October, and the later stages of the resto process involves pulling drags behind tractors to knock the ruts down and smooth out the surface. I flew out there for a look yesterday evening (9/20) and they were actively working on resto and a number of water trucks were spreading water on the rutted areas. @trentonpalmer, fly back over again in a couple weeks for comparison and show the actual final state after the resto team finishes.
Ha I just commented, wondering if plowing the whole area might help. Good to hear.
They do damn good work
This is a disgrace and BM should be banned
wy? they put it back 100% every single year....sounds like you just want to stop people from having fun and take away their freedom.@@joshlegere
The inspection standard every year is that we are not allowed more than one square foot of debris per every acre. So we need to be between 0-0.002% to pass. Trust that we are being thorough, resto is doing an amazing job and has been for the past 20+ years 🙏🏽
I talked to a Borg environmentalist at Bman the night of temple burn. She tokd me BLM was pleased with the way the Borg handled all the rain and the situation. She also told me they are actually gonna come in and plow the playa with heavy equipment. She said that they rotate every year abd have 3 locations. Giving this location 3 years to recover.
Oh that's cool. I didn't know they rotated locations each year. That's good land management.
Plow the paya? I cant imagine how much diesel that will take.
@@daurieschwartz4189 its for the environment hahaha
@@jouleSansLoi They don't, the site is well-established with roads they have used for two decades. There's no rotation.
The BMORG (Burning Man ORGanization) is still working on restoration to their Leave No Trace goal. It always takes a considerable amount of time to finish, but I'm sure this year will take longer than normal. I just recently got an email offer to volunteer to help out for a couple of days this month that I wish I could manage, alas... three days driving for two days work, followed by three days drive back home just isn't in the cards for me. Too bad, those folks are a lot of fun to work with.
3 days work is what I'm seeing.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 jesus your dense, not every worker is going to be working from start to finish, he didn't say it would only take 3 days.
The inspection is in October for a reason
@@pulse3732 that wasn't my claim. There are 2 windows for volunteer shifts available right now and they are both for 3 days. The windows are separated by 4? days. All I was saying was the volunteer shifts were for 3 days of work (not 2). Any other meaning was added by your brain, not mine.
You rock Trent. Livin' the dream for real. I remember interacting with you way back in the day on FPV forums.
Thanks Trent, as always a video with lots of interest and cool flying sometimes building but thats cool too. I live two valleys south of you and have worked, hunted and motorcycled much of the terrain you flew today. At about 2:06 you are about to fly over Dog Skin Mountain and the road below is in Bedel flat just north of Moon Rocks. A comment on the Black Rock Playa ruts. The playa is predominantly clay and when the playa gets a couple inches of water on it the clay will "melt" and the wind wave action will gently move the clay into the low areas thus healing the lake bed back to classic flats. Probably next summer another fly over will settle the "damage" debate.
No true. We have ruts on Alvord 8 years old that haven’t healed. More
Shallow than the ones in this video.
Trent, you need to get your Sweetheart a 1920's leather aviator cap with goggles so she has some padding for her head!
Is hot a lot of the year around there, and she don’t like flying up where it’s cold. Would LOOK cool tho. ~;D
I suggest a “bump cap”, a light duty and slightly smaller version of hard hat. I picked up one at a yard sale, used it for several seasons tree planting. Cut away a lot of the dome, leaving the front high and the back somewhat high. The suspension (innards) lets air flow, except I used some kind of cloth (~bandana? -was ~20 yrs ago) in that space for Sun shield, and wet that for more cooling sometimes. I never have looked them up, but I’d guess they are still a thing. Probably available in many colours, and you could turn them around on the suspension if so desired (have seen this with regular hard hats); not my thing).
Cheers from Edmonton AB.
Then she could find something else to complain about. Beta boy loves to solve all her super special needs. Yuk... won't be back
Probably wouldn't help...
No, she needs a helmet because her head is already barely functioning. Listen to her talk

This is so cool. Flying about freely and then seeing another buddy to your left. What a beautiful day for flying and checking it out. Amazing. Love, light and blessings from UK 🇬🇧
I rememeber back in 1997 when Thrust SSC flew down Blackrock Desert at 750mph+ on a perfectly smooth surface... to see that now would be more akin to a Rallycross track. Mental!
I know that too well, have been landsailing on the black rock desert for 30 years. It's getting worse every year. So rough.
@@eddwil7 it will be a disaster now
I was there every day.
I was there too, and afterwards they had it posted up at the Peppermill hotel. What a sight to see in person. ❤
@john-martin Yes, looking back, I realize how historical that event was.
Best tire track video ever if you’re into that type of thing. Excellent 90% head shots of the RUclips stars if you’re into that type of thing. Excellent product commercials if you’re into that type of thing. Another 13 minutes and 12 seconds of my life I can never get back.⌛️
A couple of good dust storms and you’ll never know anybody was there just like tho Sphinx. Until next year.🐫
Hey Y'all, A big tractor with some large soil conditioning apparatus would resolve the rut issues in short order. Nice flight, just tooo short. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings
So will a few rains. It's literally a lake bed.
There are videos from the past cleanings - showing something similar to an usual rotating brush street cleaner in work.
@@jameshoiby yep, people just looking for something to be mad at as usual
Good job ... heard all the horror from the news stations, but friends who were there said it wasn't that bad, just very messy ... the stories were made by the "panic" folks .... luckily it didn't end up too bad ... and though many will rage over the "environemntal" damage .. there really isn't much .. a quick dragging with a farrow or grader would be fine ... the desert will reclaim this very quickly with the wind and weather.
I went to burning man in 2013 for the first and last time. I was so excited to meet such great people, but was very upset that maby only the half of them were honest clean people, and the other half were fake lazy trash leaving wanabe's. And with the prices trippled to get in, in my opinion it is very far from what it once was. It's a shame that something I grew up so fascinated with has turned out the way it did.
It's majority owned by GOOGLE, lol.
We all fall for scams from time to time.
What a shame that you would let some others impact your personal life and choices to enjoy yourself there. This was my second year, completely changed my life for the better✌️
It would be difficult at times to enjoy without noticing the human shortcomings. I would want the positive to be the larger take away overall. Humans are the dirtiest living creature on this planet, bar none. After one gets that filed way back in the mind then just enjoy and try to be responsible and accountable for yourself. We cannot vouch for others. I have tried over my entire life to be the guardian of our species in such that I care and have tried picking up after those that do not envision as I. At this point in life now, I have run out of patience in so much that caring has definitely left me. I am a very patient individual but, out of anything that will boil that is simply....human ignorance & stupidity. Part of this is how I am feverishly taxed and yet have no say about where that goes and those that evade the responsibility when being apart of this race.
Maybe half were fake clean responsible people and the true ones were trashy
Just the normal progression of things.
It's not possible to have a gathering of 70,000 people and not leave any trace. Once they allowed the first Burning Man at Blackrock, the landscape was changed forever.
Yep! as a local I would know, cant stand burners or burning man, go away and never come back.
sad
Not to mention orgies, drugs, and idol worship in the desert is really, really weird.
Yeah what about all the other prestine landscapes that have been changed forever? Probably including the house and community you live in, and the shopping center where you buy groceries. And the farms where those groceries come from. And the trash dump where all your garbage goes. Give me a break.
@@chrisdrake7849 Must be rough. A MAGA man like yourself probably rarely sees any liberals or progressives.
2:00 Hayley, being higher up in a plane is actually safer. Since it takes longer to get down, it gives the pilot more time to try and fix whatever problem there is on the way down.
For a human, anything over 10 feet up is usually lethal when falling down, so it doesn't make a difference if you're at 100 feet or 10000. Except 10000 gives the pilot a chance to do something about the "falling" part... ;-)
Unless your desire to fly lower comes from being able to see more on the ground, then it's ok, of course! 🙂
True, in most cases.... unless you have a fire.
Ive fallen alot further with only minor inuries except for a broken Coxxyx
@@anthonydewitt7674 Replace the 10 feet I quoted with 30. 30 feet of altitude is nothing to a plane, but falling from a 3rd floor window? Ouch.
The argument still stands
Imagine that, The news made it out way worse than it was!!! Thank you BIG media!!!
give it one more month and that place will be back to normal. BM been doing it for decades, they haven't failed yet.
2:20 I can tell you flying home over those mountains after reno I did not like flying that close to the ground! Haha. Altitude is safety! It was great to meet you at the STOL area on Saturday. I am uploading my reno video today!
My wife prefers flying low too. No amount of explanation about "Altitude is Safety" helps. 🤪
Aloha Thanks for video on burning mans playa.i was hoping to go to burning man this year for the my first time but ended up dealing with our horrible disaster on our beautiful Maui island.Amazing how so many disasters happened during a period of time this year..from maui ,the playa ,china etc .God Bless both of you and again thank you.from elsa 74 yr old on maui.
Mahalo to you and Maui. Come next year if you can, i missed 22-23 but my camp will be back in 24
Years ago I read that the ruts from the wheels of covered wagons could still be seen along the Oregon trail.
Not true for the playa. A set of ruts won't make it a season or as it self-levels through the winter wet and summer dry cycle. Oregon Trail ruts are on a very different type of soil.
Yep they’re still there.
Applegate trail, from the1850s and yes they are still there...
In the desert that was used for Shermans tanks during WWII the tracks are still there. 75 years later and they stick out.
I must’ve missed an episode for the parking apron asphalt in front of the hangar. Looks good and will help keep your hangar floor cleaner…
There was not a video about the apron yet. I think he wanted to get the burning man videos out while the topic was still fresh.
Trent, it was so great meeting you at the races last week! Sorry we missed Hailey! Hope to run into you guys again sometime!
it's a dry lake🌊 ...it will rain and the ruts will go Away...So living the dream 🛩️ flying and having fun👩🏼👨🏻
Rork: leave the complainer at home next flight, ...wow
I don't really see that ruts constitutes damage to the area, it's just clay, as soon as it gets wet again it'll sort itself out pretty quickly. I'm glad to see that there was no rubbish or vehicles still there.
It would be interesting to see you guys do the same video a year from not just before Burning Man. See how much difference 10 months make.
If you look from Satellite images you can see the overlapping sites from years past.. Its not always in the same exact location. They move it around a bit and let the playa heal over time.
Shut just check in 2 weeks. It will be damn near unnoticeable from the landscape. Still have to water spray and drag the ground
Hey.. Thanks, y'all for these videos. Please do flyovers again throughout the winter so we can see how Mother Nature resettles the Playa. And if you can capture overheads of the progress. This is going to be cool to watch. I'm glad I found your channel.
I'm quite the opposite having flown hang gliders first, airplanes 2nd (altitude is "life") and "time" to find solutions to unexpected problems.
My wife used to ask if we need to be so high at about 1500' and I would tell her that higher is safer. She still didn't like it.
Hey Trent, thanks for the update. Well appreciated!
I usually takes another good rainfall to smooth out a lot of the playa. BM does a great job of cleaning up after their event.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Thank you for another great video. I spent 17 years out there, most working but....yeah, they do a great job scouring the desert for the garbage. It's town that gets the 'leave no trace' idiots aftermath of dumping.
Great video, girl, I'm with ya! Live to fly small planes but heights are tough. Let's have more of you in the videos please!
Height gives you two things you desperately want in an emergency, airspeed and time.
Maintain your glide slope and you’ve got all the time you’ll need to do whatever it is you need to do or sacrifice a little of your altitude for airspeed depends entirely on what emergency your dealing with
Damn Global imate Change for turning an Old Lake Bed into a Lake Bed!
thank you for showing this to everyone
I dislike altitude, too, but what's really crazy is that I'm only afraid of heights when flying in formation. Go figure!
Really.....there is no "damage" as far as I'm concerned with the amount of people there or even excessive garbage.
Have you ever seen a garbage dump! Or India? This is pristine!
I love flying but without the negativity from the passenger .
I heard a radio interview with the guy who is in charge of the cleanup crew. He's been doing it for fifteen years or so, and he has no concerns at all about getting all the trash cleaned up, even after the muddy days. He said he has a crew of several hundred people, and a month after the event to get it cleaned up before the BLM inspects.
I'm glad to learn that they seem to be getting it cleaned up!
Her perspective doesn't appear to be making progress. I mean, really. No appreciation for an airborne view? "Opps! I bumped my head? This isn't as comfortable as sitting in my living room watching The Price is Right"? What's wrong with this girl?
Wow I didn't realize I didn't realize burning Man with such a huge thing going on out here.
Hey Trent, thanks for the ride along. You have it going on big time... keep it up!
I encourage you to put on your bucket list to fly back to the Burning Man site after the rains have stopped, probable early to mid summer, when the Playa is dry again, and see if the ruts are still there.
That is the MOST annoying woman I've ever heard. Holy cow. Bless your heart dude
A different gay fellow said the same thing.
The energy consumed, the CO2 and waste produced both at the event and in the subsequent “clean up” for a mob of “party goers” isn’t no impact, it isn’t low impact either……
Well, since we let an oxygen waste like you stick around, Burning Man seems fine.
Digging those solo flights :)
Its cool that they have something in place to hold everyone accountable for the use of the land. People may hate on the festival, but I guarantee, no other festival in the world would be that well cleaned up so soon and after the mud they dealt with
Thanks for flying back and showing the playa. Probably still needs a lot of cleaning still to do. Maybe they come back with tractors to smooth out the ruts. I gotta think they will do all they can to repair the damage. Cheers!
I know Trent has been back up for a while … but this is the first time I’ve watched since the…
It’s so nice to see him again … up in the air
Since the what? You kinda forgot the rest of your sentences 😂
Abolish administrative judges.
He never stopped being able to fly. The case is still ongoing.
I fail to see how ruts in the desert are a big deal. How is this negatively affecting any plants or animals?
Your first video I saw with you and your buddy going out before burning man... great. This one reminded me of my ex wife always bitching about everything.
That's odd, she always seems happy now.
I watched your first video of Burning Man and was glad do see the follow up. that is a crazy place.
There are ruts from wagon wheels on the side of Pike's peak dating to the 1800's. They are going to need a lot of heavy equipment to get those ruts out. So much for leave no trace.
Pikes Peak isn’t a dry lake bed, you don’t know what you’re talking about. The usual winter snow and rains will level once again like it has for centuries.
Great to see Hailstorm back up with ya. Love the video! 🤙🏼
Would love to see a follow up observation after the winter rains.
Yeah me too. Hopefully it will dispel the negative press that it will never be the same again. Mother nature has a way or proving you wrong.
that would make for a good project, get a definitive baseline on the restorative effects of time & weather.
BEST Part about the Whole video. 10:53 - Landing at your HOME Strip after All these years of challenges!!!!
Were you at the Reno air show? Great show until the sad ending... we left at 2:00 to head home and luckly missed the terrible ending.. Not much else to say.
Like your channel lots, have been watching for awhile.... thought I was subscribed but did again, keep up the great content..
Yeah really. I hope he is going to do an episode about the final Reno air show.
That you have a plane in you garage is so cool........My husband and I met while learning to fly and we married at an airport so I just love this.
If they don't actively repair those ruts, those scars can easily last a solid decade or more. I've been offroading my whole life with a vacation house near a couple different lakebeds. I've seen them go from perfectly flat to completely torn up with ruts over the years, and they stay that way. Erosion happens extremely slow in these parts of the desert.
I was actually there. I can tell you that the Playa is made of a very strange material. I think the land will actually do a bit of self repair once it floods and becomes a lake. The mud acted a lot more like clay than mud. The interesting thing about that is as we walked on it it actually started to harden and flatten. Like clay, it is actually very fragile and once it dries it cracks. While I think there will be a bunch of ruts next year, since Burning Man takes place in the same area on Playa, I imagine all the cars and foot traffic will actually flatten it out the rest of the way!
@@bootsparamour Once it dries that dirt is extremely hard. Even with all the traffic out there during the event it will still take many years to erode back to flat. I don't think many people understand just how long it takes for lakebeds to recover from vehicle ruts like this. I vividly remember the lakebed at Giant Rock being pristine in the late 90's. There was a storm around 2000 and some idiots put a bunch of ruts right down the middle of the lakebed. It has still not recovered to this day, and that's with 2 decades of offroaders frequenting the area helping it erode away. As I said in my original comment, unless somebody actively works to repair those ruts, that scarring can easily last a decade or longer.
Correct. People delude themselves into thinking that the desert is some forgiving, quickly self repairing ecosystem immune to the effects of human activity. I've already had a few discussions with people that think the playa will just magically repair itself. Sad part is that 99 percent of the damage could have been prevented. @@KevPV
The new asphalt is looking sweet. I see a couple of other aircraft in the hangar too…introduce us!
@@KevPVthey go out with water and equipment to rake it smooth. I read an article earlier today from a guy who's been on cleanup duty for 15 years and he said it'll be just fine in another week or two.
Glad to see it clear of debris. The scarification is pretty bad though. I was there and I felt pretty bad about it. It did start to polish out on our block, but there was a ton of surface damage. I think a few rains should clean it up quite a bit.
We are smoothing it out with heavy equipment and water trucks now during resto
@@sofiamalmia Thats great news! Thank you for the info! In our camp we figured out we could pull up the chunks of mud that were out of place, and then drive over them with our cars. We then raked it all flat. I don’t know how many other camps took that kind of care but we left with a clear conscience.
Great video. Thank you. I was concerned your GF made cavalier comments that Winter would fix ruts or it wasn’t that bad. Those of us who recreate on the Playas now lesser ruts take years to heal. Also the flyby doesn’t address roadside trash, and impacts to small towns (you did mention the Loves gas station issues). We will be out there looking for buried rebar and nails which is a “hidden” issue.
Fantastic video to document the aftermath. It was great to meet you on Saturday. Emilie had a great time chatting with your wife.
@TrentonPalmer_ Unlucky scammer.
Him: What's up buddies?! Good dogs!!
Her: hmm....
Man, ditch this woman. she is garbage.
You should teach her how to fly so she can be more comfortable with all the instruments and the altitude. Also she can take over flying if there was an emergency of you passing out and dying due to the constant nagging.
Hopefully DPW will be back to drag and mitigate the ruts. As for the people that left, shame on them. They are not burners, they didn't read the survival guide, and they suck. On the bright side, maybe the media scared the influencers and other spectators away~!~Clean up went pretty dang well, and they are not done~!~
I am not a burner myself, but I have no problem with what they support. And they clean-up after themselves a hell of a lot better then most festival goers. As for some bad apples, every crowd has them, and they are usually revealed about the time stuff hits the fan. What I am surprised about are how many knuckle draggers there are posting negative comments about the festival on Trent's previous videos.
@@charlesmartin1121 I missed that, but have seen a plethora of neg comments from people that know absolutely nothing. When Katrina hit, Burners Without Borders were there before anyone, and that happened during the event. BTW, we are not a festival. We are a 100% participation event, spectators are not welcome.
@@deanaoxo Alright. Event not a festival. Check.
The ruts are underwater every winter, fill with silt and they disappear .
Wagon trains came out west 150 years ago, the only thing that's left is the ruts in Solid Rock, but I'm sure these marks will just last forever 👌😔
Something tells me that girl no mater what Trent did for her or the adventure he brought her with on! instead of just enjoying the moment with Trent she would rather be on her phone with Facebook or what ever app she really loves then just enjoying the moment with Trent!
she sure did complain a lot for something many would die just to get the opportunity to do.
In her defense when she got caught looking at her phone she was looking something up for Trent. However you would think if your husband had an airplane you wouldn't have a problem flying.
People get used to flying in small planes just like they get used to flying in large planes. Some days I ask my son if he wants to go fly and he still enjoys it, but above all he'd probably just enjoy staying home and playing video games, not that I let him 😉 He'll thank me when older and he's got some real memories with his old man.
@@keithrickson8522 yhea I sure do wish I had that with my dad. The cool thing for him? He will probably get his pilot license when he is a bit older! He might not realize how awesome it is right now! But he will!

A Burner from South Afrika here...those scenes are really shocking to me. That is definitely no "Leave no trace" event. Kinda illustrates exactly why we twice decided to cancel plans to attend Burning Man. My concern is that those traces will still be visible a thousand years from now. Maybe your desert is different to others. I hope so. Thanks for the video, Trent - peace to youze too....
It is different. First, the cleanup is not yet completed. Playa restoration is done in a couple of weeks. Next, the yearly rains settle the surface. Third, the actual site is rotated between 3 locations every year. Fourth, this is a dry lakebed, and the surface is boron dust. It is different from sand deserts. Just FYI.
@@DonoVideoProductions good to know its different and thanks for saying so. Our Burn site gets rain hardly ever and those kind of markings of the ground remains for years n years. I know clean-up takes a long time and the last of the moop can take a month to be picked up. I am interested to watch how this evolves. Also I did not know that there were several sites and the event was rotated amongst them. Thanks for this comment.
@@DonoVideoProductions And Fifth: Liberals really don't give a shlt about the environment anymore, they are mostly jaded left wing sheep that virtue signal to care about anything while supporting every single large multinational cause, and China.

Look at the cities where these "people" come from, 100% polluted crime ridden garbage dumps...while they rage on about conservatives and red states...I rest my case.
Trent! If a catalytic converter on a car gets plugged up in some way, it will turn cherry red and catch the car on fire for sure.
FYI…
For a catalytic converter to become plugged with mud, that mud would first have to pass through the intake air box, intake filter, intake valves, then be compressed within the cylinders, detonated, then pushed out of the exhaust valves and into the exhaust system where the catalytic converter is.
The engine would stall well before that could possibly happen.
@@Boroffski if the mud was plugging the tailpipe, that's all that it would take to make the converter to cook
@@raymondpaulin2541
With all due respect…
If the tailpipe were plugged, the car would stall out well before the converter could heat up to those dangerous temps.
Don’t believe me, try it for yourself.
I’ve been building vehicles to play in the mud since I was a teen in the early 90’s and what you’re suggesting is merely imaginative and not reality.
I have 20+ years of experience actually doing this on the regular. It’s a lot of fun, I suggest you give it a try.
🍻
Fly out in March or April after the winter rain and snow. The Playa will level out just like the Playa highways disappear every year
I'm an old formerly bold pilot. You are doing a great job getting young people into flying. Planes are cheaper than cars now. That would t last long v
I'm not sure what aircraft you're referring to that is cheaper than a car... the average C150 is $30,000 right now. A 1970's C172M ranges from the $70,000 - 120,000. A brand new C172 NXi from the factory will cost you somewhere around $475,000 last I checked in 2021. Even the milkstool Tri-Pacer are frequently going for $30-50,000 when they were only $20,000 mid-range 5 years ago.
what are you smoking?
We used to tour over cool spots in Ontario like Long Point for instance. Mid flight I looked over my shoulder to check on our 12 year old daughter only to find her laying across the back seat reading. I mean, what can I say? I guess having parents that fly must not be such a cool thing after all.
That is always nice to see that you can just fly right from your home now. Hailey always makes the Video complete being with you. Always thank you for your contact and the time it takes.
To make this happen.
it's dirt, that's what dirt does.
Can we just admit now, that this whole idea of tens of thousands of people going to the dessert to party is just a bad idea.
That will never happen . Everyone doesn't think the same.😇
As soon as you admit that cities are also a bad idea. It’s a dry lake bed the next rain will level it again like it has for centuries. Burning Man org always gets the playa back to the way it was, the BLM makes sure of it.

Dear god. That woman would drive most men insane. You are a saint.
I've heard other gay men say the same thing.
Trent I've viewed two of your video posts, video clarity outstanding, commentary purposeful. Your our eye in the sky, hoping the playa recovers with man's assistance.
omg! I would walk 5 miles just to get away from her!
She's so annoying.
how could you sit next to her for that whole flight?
"When we're flying"? My dream is to be a realtor...
Good to visit with you all again.....thanks for the flight!
I like how you were under 5 and she went under 20. Why not over 5? lol
Playa Restoration Crew isn't done and completed. Fly off next month and do an update video please! I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of pissed off people if you don't. I guarantee you guys will be amazed. You won't even know that Burning Man happened In that area of the playa.
Really nice to see your wife flying with you. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Even though she was a constant complainer.
@@BRYSEN22that voice... sooooo annoying 🙄
@@BRYSEN22Seriously man, what's up with her??
@@lovequeen7080she’s a tik tok addicted brat
Now THIS is what I have been wanting to see
Nice to see Hailey is getting more comfortable - maybe even a little excited about flying :)
