- Burning Man festival highlights review and survival guide with tips and tricks for first-timers (virgins) and playa videos to get an impression about Black Rock City and the greatest party on our planet!
This desert event near Reno in Nevada, USA is a crazy out-of-this-world place that everyone should experience at least once!
TIPS:
7 ways to get tickets for Burning Man:
Main Sale Tickets:
Work on a project:
Secure Ticket Exchange Program
The OMG Sale
The Low Income Ticket Program (reserved for those who are in, and can demonstrate, actual financial need).
The NOT Low Income Ticket Program
Purchase a ticket from a friend or stranger
HYGEINE AND PERSONAL CARE:
Burning Man is gross. People who haven't showered in days are gross. The porta potties are gross. Ingesting lots of charred meat and chemicals and sweating them out again is gross. If you honestly can't handle gross, don't go to Burning Man.
A nice thing to do in the afternoon: cut a 2.5-gallon water jug in half lengthwise. Fill with 1-2 inches of water and a few splashes of vinegar or lemon juice. Soak feet. Pass around for campmates to enjoy.
After you soak your feet, slather them with a heavy-duty foot balm, let air dry, then slip into nice fresh socks.
To keep long hair from turning into Funyuns, comb through leave-in conditioner and braid immediately. Keep hair under a hat or bandana.
Rub foot repair cream into your hands once a day to keep them moisturized.

Thank you for watching and always DREAM BIG!
You should get that check engine light looked at.
chestnut250 was a rental
It's a rental - who gives a shit?
Ya, he's driving it thru the frkn desert, the engine light is the least of his worries
I used mine as a map lite until it burned out
They're driving in the sand, idiot.
Since I watched this a year ago, I have watched 50 -60 other videos. This is the best I have seen representing the BM experience. You guys did a great job. 5 STARS!!!
Thank you so much David!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS. I was a first time burner last year and you captured a similar energy and essence of what it was like to Discover that 'oh my gosh...these people, this place, this FEELING is REAL.' So grateful to be reminded of this!
Jessica Asch That’s awesome Jessica! Thank you! Are you going back? ☀️
Great footage, thank you for sharing, im in the uk and i have always wanted to go and i felt like i was there with you both, i loved that it was the drive in included also ❤🎉
I have never heard of this place , I’m in aww my kind of people ❤️ beautifully done , can’t wait to go ❤️
Wooaaah guys ! Had just a big smile during the whole video, seems like a place out of time with the two of you among lights and dust and amazing people... into the desert !!!
I love your reaction once you got the tickets ! 9:11 !!!! That's perfect
I love you guys, this is such an awesome video, the best from far I've watched from Burning man !

Madou Durdek And I thought no one would notice

Thank you Dana!!
@@tomdreamsbig its true I've got goosebumps. 13 years for me... who knows whats going to happen with this world emergency?
11? Big whoop! Call me when you hit 20
this is incredible ❤️🔥 you guys threw yourselves at it completely. and that was my favorite man. 🥰
great to see the drive to the event no other video usually shows! great video
Thank you for sharing your experience with the world...Looks GREAT!
This is one of the best BM videos I've seen yet! Thank you!
Thanks Mark! 😍
@@tomdreamsbig Thank you!
Dude, thanks for sharing your Burn wit us, what a real nice vid.
Here's a bit of news for you -
When you're in the queue waiting to get there...
you're already there.
The journey *_is_* the destination
True. Thanks for watching 🤘🏻
Love your video... Welcome to one of the coolest places on earth. I'm getting excited watching your vid and all the enthusiasm. DID you make it in 2019. I was there over on the 2 oclock side of the city... can't wait to watch the rest... you really did your home work... you know a lot about the festival !!! cool... I did not back in 2015.... but.... So cool... Thanks for the video!!!!!
Ray Mikota Hi Ray thanks for watching! I did not make it back unfortunately but I would love to again one day. Africa Burn is on the list as well :)
Totally enjoyed the video! I could have watched much more. Very few videos give "a day in the life" of Burning Man. Thanks! Great video work.
Gil Gillis Thanks a million! 🙏🏻🌸
Agree 1000% I could have watched hours of your video! Very well do!!
Thoroughly enjoyed your capture of the event! I've always wanted to go and someday I'll get there.
Dore Love Thank you for watching!
Great video, loved your energy and enthusiasm for this wonderful event. I’ve never been, planning to go, need to get a ticket. What a marvellous place, AMAZING 😀
Stefan Grant Thanks so much Stefan!
"I hate getting sand between my toes"
Boy, you came to the _WRONG_ place
You guys are great. I'm going to show this video to the friend I'm taking with me next year. I've told him about the line to get in and the dust storms but it's different to actually see it.
David G. Thanks David enjoy BM 😎
You indeed have lived the dream. I watch a lot of videos on Burning Man and hope to make one. I really enjoyed your video of this event. The puppet dog was good. The giant Bed was cool. You showed a lot of stuff I had not seen in other videos. Well Done!! Indeed the greatest party on earth...and beyond. I would think the GoPro Session 5 is the best camera for this festival. I had no idea you could get in a plane a fly around. EPIC!!
Hey! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. You would love it, hope you get to go one day ;)
What a man; taking care of sis. Good parents. We've changed clothes twice before getting in the gate.....lol. I suspect the hype is half the experience especially when you're hanging on for dear life during a sandstorm.
ah ah i remember the huge dust storm. It broke our playa bar, but the music still played during the whole 20 minutes... Great souvenir.
Great video - glad you enjoyed Burning Man ❤️
RIGHT OFF THAT BAT: I LOVED YOUR VIDEO. NOW THAT IS OVER: OH MY GOD!!!! I LIVE IN A PLACE CALLED WAIMEA, BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII. WE ARE 3,000 FT. UP. SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL VOLCANOES, 3 AS HIGH AS 14,000 FT. UP. 60 TO 70 DEG. IM VERY COMFORTABLE RIGHT HERE AWAY FROM ALL THAT DUST. THANK YOU FOR THE LOOK ANYWAY.
Great Video!! 🥰
We're gonna attempt Burningman this year and we've justed watch allllll the video about it on youtube! Love yours
Woohoo so exiting!!! Thanks so much for watching and have the best time ever! ✨
Woohoo so exiting!!! Thanks so much for watching and have the best time ever! ✨
Great job, thanks for sharing,
heerlijke film echt genoten hiervan
dank je ik hoop in 2021 te gaan.
Wow the cost! A lovely equalising experience for people who can afford to drop a few thousand (and don't have an accessibility needs) Those prices changed my view compared to the last video I saw.
850 per person
there are some low income tickets for 210$
YESS, socks and sandles! Something most part of the dutch never do, but it's still a stereo type of the dutch. Hehe, but you don't know that far far away in your states :P. Nice video, i like the way you made it. Later!
Thanks Joey 🤙🏻
Was nuttig en leuk om zien.
Fantastic you guys... glad you had so much fun..... im 8:50 into your video and Loving IT!
Ray Mikota Thanks for watching Ray!
Remember if you are going to Burning man through Cedarville Calif stop and get some chocolate at Rabbit Trax last gas station before the event. THE ADULT CHOCOLATIER WILL BE THERE AGAIN THIS YEAR 2018!
Amazing and awesome,so cool thanks
Awesome video!!! So cool you got to enjoy it with your sister! I would love to make it there some day!!!!
martybunyan12 Thanks for watching! :) Hope you make it one day 😁
Great video! Great memories. I was there!
Have not done the Ultra light or plane ride yet? WTF.... big dust storm.... Love it!!!
Awesome vid...Loved the little pointy nose little fluffy fella...Again awesome :)
bozman69au Cheers man ✌🏻
bozman69au Tom is a good fellow
QUESTION QUESTION; This video showed perfectly how crazy unique this place is, and trapped your unedited enthusiasm. BUT, how did you find your way around at night? Thank you.
Thank you for watching! Good question 👍🏻 during the first day we got to understand where our camp was compared to the playa (just 1 long street and only 1 turn). At night we just always took the same way back to not get lost. The camps are organized with a letter and number system and you get maps at the entrance gate ;)
I womder why such a hostile environment was originally chosen for Burning Man. I suppose that is part of what makes it so incredible.
Thx this is REALLY Really REALLY good video 👍. Love you both 💕
+Michael Putnam Thanks michael!!
Who are the 58 curmudgeons who gave you a thumbs-down? This is terrific! 2nd time burner here and this captures it all with fun and radical participation on your part. Thank you!
Thanks Sue ☀️
Agree!! Probably people who posted videos that suck compared to this! Well done!
Thank you so much for that Dokumentation! 🤗🤗
Pleasure Frank, thanks for watching! ☀️
@@tomdreamsbig did you made a “part 2” of Burning Man?
No Frank I cramped all my footage into this one video. I am planning on going back one day if it’s possible though 😇
@@tomdreamsbig If you please give me a sign, we will perhaps see us at the playa! 😃👍👍❤️🧡💛
Awesome! Will let you know if I go again 🤩🥳😇🧡
What a fabulous adventure you had. I enjoyed your video immensely. Maybe Black Rock City could be renamed SILF City?
skippy Thank you for watching!
My first question is, what about extra Gas? Did the duct tape ruin the paint on your car? GoPro's are the way I was thinking to film. Canned Air for cleaning. Sand storms and the wind. You learn to tie down better for the next Burn. :) Thank you for sharing your video. I am planning on going in 2020.
PJ Slots & Entertainment take me with you
What a great video... so joyous and enthused. Good tips and images of the dust and it's effects, too. So glad you got to come "Home"!
Dancy Man Aaah thanks for watching + the kind words! ⭐️
You know what would be epic too see if everyone at night with glow sticks or anything that has light and get everyone walking in a big circle at once damn i betche that would look epic and probably be seen in outter space........could u imagen 50000 people walking in one big ass circle.......just an idea
It's inspiring to see how tens of thousands of people.come together and build an entire city in the middle of the desert every year. Then, looknat our homeless crisis in America and the billions of dollars our government spends. Imagine what would happen if Berners were given our government's budget and put in charge of finding solutions to our housing crisis.
The planes are called Microlights I think.
$800 per person to go into burning man fuck that
I don't think I'd ever want to leave
What is the website for flights in and out of burning man....on commercial grade airplanes?
Very nice, no show off, honest, interesting and valuable tips... that you^ve missed 6 days in the video reportage clearly shows how great it was :)
Cant wait to go
Enjoy!!!
JUST GOT A TICKET ! CANT WAIT TO GO
tye2071 Congratulations!!! So exiting! Have fun 🎉
How much are the tickets?
@@stevewalther9965 I believe they are $400 or so
Now you’ve got a pass as a virgin to see what makes it all tick, find something you have passion for to give back to the community directly next time.
Be creative. Art. Food. Helping hand. Interaction. Structure. Bring an art piece. Help your neighbors set up. Talk with them. Cook a meal. Fix someone’s bike. Give someone sunscreen. Give someone some water. Give them a hug. Provide shade. You could do anything.
It is Participation that makes it so great. It is up to you.
It will give back 10 fold.
Leave nothing behind. Not a piece of tissue, not a bike, nothing. Pack it all out. If you don’t, the BLM will pull the plug on the permits. No more burn.
Embrace those dust storms.
Enjoy.
bryan rut stop begging sheesh
funny how bm promotes anti-consumerism but requires a material payment to attend. and where is all the profit going? im sure the founders r not doing all this for chump change altho theyre likely telling ppl theyre not making much and giving away most to charities
What a dust storm how long did it take to get rid of the sand and dirt out of the crevices lol
ronnie cardy hi! We didn’t... avoiding it as much as possible in the first place still seems the best to me ;)
Been to a BM sattelite party in HI. Was waaaay cooool. 😎
Not sure about making BM but??? Maybe someday.
Great video!
Emma P Thanks for watching Emma! 🙏🏻
fantastic vlog!!!!
Thanks! 😍✨
Nice. Thanks for the share!
Michael Selvaggio Thanks even more for watching Michael!!
Tom and Rose, thank you! I love your zest for life. xoxo Jim in Philadelphia Pennsylvania
Randomotion Thanks Jim!!
How much does this cost?
What time did you get to the turnoff on the dirt road in? I’m going this year and trying to decide when I should arrive.
Jim Kowalski We got there at around 4 AM ;) Have a awesome time!
What music is played at 12:51? Don’t seem to find it in the music you guys mentioned in the comments. Sounds great.
so may are saying it has become commercialized well maybe but it is on my bucket list and i am going to make it some day because the meaning is still there Live on burning man
jeff8565 you will have fun
Cool
Thanks guys this was great. It appears that you are experts at this but did I hear it was your first time? Now I really feel like I'm missing out on something.
Hi Scott! Thanks for watching! Yes indeed it was our first time. We watched a lot of videos too to prepare. Are you going?
@@tomdreamsbig I don't know if I'm to old, 62 with some issues but nothing I can't beat. Probably next year after the healing process. Thanks for the reply Tom
Good guide
Omg epic 😂❤️
did you go to burning man from eu? if so how much did it all end up costing in the end? how much time and preparation did you need to put into it and how did you save up the most money?
Thanks heaps guys, wonderful!
Thanks for watching!!! 🙏🏻☀️
@@tomdreamsbig our absolute pleasure brother, you were such a great presenter!! lots of love for you and your sister from all us burners in Southern Australia xo
Omg ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks!! Lots of love back! 🌻
sunrise is unbelievable !
Wasn't KANSAS song " DUST in the WIND " , most appropriate pick for this Event !. DUSTY Springfield song " Look of LOVE " was once played in the O R G Y dome.
I'm so excited! This will be my first burn!
Paul Germano ENJOY!!!
Same come through to Astro Cats! 715 & C
Now I'm going to my second!
So nice Paul! How was your first? 😄
@@tomdreamsbig dusty, fun, lots of art, and meeting people from all over the world!
OH NO!! NOT that horrible tape.. next time get painter's blue tape!
TheHAPPYalix lol the car was a rental... so hilarious..
I can picture them pulling up to the rental company looking like mad Max extras
I learned more in my preparation for this year's burn from your video than I have from 100+ hours of research on ePlaya and Reddit. Thank you so much!! One question I have -- I'm by myself and I rented a large cargo truck, but it looks like the two of you simply rented a minivan and used a tent to store stuff. How did that work out? In looking back, do you wish you rented something bigger?
Omg yaaay, thank you so much! Happy it helps out! At the end I remember thinking it would all have been more comfortable to have a vehicle big enough to stand up in. It was a bit frustrating to always sit or lay down. But we also spent much less money on this smaller car so in a way it’s worth it. Let me know if you have other question, have an awesome Burn! 🌞
I would prefer the bigger vehicle also (at the moment I actually have TWO rentals secured. One for the large cargo van, one for the minivan), but honestly, the cargo van company seems intent to not rent to burners. Because I'm by myself, I'm wondering if you and Rose didn't do it the right way. Smaller and simpler. Less to go wrong?
ronlippitt I would go for the minivan I think :)
Why you covered your seats with garbage bag?
could you please tell me how you got tickets and what the process was like :)
Hi Anna! We tried to get our ticks in the mainsale. But we could not get through... we got them second hand from someone on Instagram!
11:36 Great idea!

Cool video. Not cool buying tickets above face value.
I must try the flying next time!
KiwiBanana You will love it! Enjoyyy
KiwiBanana You will love it! Enjoyyy
TOM DREAMS BIG see you at home again soon!
Appears to be a preview of HELL...and...appropriately named!
No Temple burn???
Can you describe gross in ways please? I'm going this yr 2020 for 1st time. I have OCD
Looks really nice, but 1700 dollars for two tickets is quite steep, and I would have to travel from Europe as well!
I'll be darned, the adventures of Tintin in the Black Rock Desert
did you come from eu to burning man? how much did it all cost in total ?
+Dreamer23245 Everything is in the description ;)
@@tomdreamsbig when you put other did that include drugs lol
Hehe. No.
