    Burning iMan 2023:: As ive said before and itll never change -- this is simply a desert monsoon storm. Thats all it is. Its not a natural disaster. Its not a toxic mud or rain conspiracy. Its not a government plan to separate people or kill people off. Its not a psy-op. Its just a desert monsoon storm --- worst case scenario it will be a longer than planned dry camping experience (i.e. camping without your rv or whatever hooked up to electricity and septic).... Nothing more. Nothing less. Theyll probably learn, or hopefully learn, to bring more food, water, storm supplies, in furure burning man events because a storm can always happen..... As for the people that died, were perhaps electrocuted, you cannot play with electricity or a gas/any generator in the rain because a generator puts out ekectric current. Basic knowledge. Still not a natural disaster, still not akin to hurricane Katrina, etc. As long as the people out there stay calm and help each other they will all be just fine...... P S. Don't try to drive out people, if your wheels are spinning, because that will bury yoyr vehicle to the axles. Lol. Just wait for the ground to dry.

      "Been going to burning man for 13 years. never more than 5 minutes of rain. but this time it rained for hours. " - comment from regular burner.
      its one of the hottest , drying parts in the world. they wont even let people go out there without proving they have enough water.
      so yes this is highly unusual.
      I wonder what the carbon footprint of burning man is?

    I go to a winter burn every year here in Austin and there is one in the summer too. The weather for both is usually very unpredictable! The extreme weather always brings us together and makes each burn memorable. My least favorite burn was the muddy one lol. It is impossible to walk and is so hard to clean, but we still had some great moments even then. This January came in close second since we did not burn unfortunately due to a wind storm, and it was also very strange because they cut the music at midnight. The music is what makes the soup cook!

    A lot of people are forgetting that officially, the event isn’t over until Monday at 6 PM. So we’re still a day ahead of when most people planed to leave. One of the 10 principles of burning man is radical self-reliance. Each participant is expected to bring enough food and water for themselves to last as long as they plan to be out in the desert with a decent buffer. In my opinion, there really isn’t a much better group of people to end up stranded for an extra three or four days at most. Looking like I might get out of here on Tuesday which was my intended goal to begin with

      Well, I actually think that people at burning man, covering it with boots on the ground, are also a little over-reactionary, and being a bit defensive.
      It was declared a natural disaster, not a national emergency. And the news I’ve seen on it, was covering it pretty accurately, but just from their perspective.

      @@crystalbluebutterfly mainstream media was more hyperbolic than the Burners, though some may have been a bit protectively defensive about how well everyone has gotten along, it is part of the party event rules.
      People at EDC get defensive about claiming a PLUR community even if more than +200 phones are stolen and there's not a toilet seat to be found in any portapotty, until their phone is stolen, or they have a negative experience.

    When i was young i went to an outdoor weekend rock show at Pocono 500 raceway. We had torrential rain Friday night and most of Saturday. We did get to see Rod Stuart, ELP, Badfinger. But the show was mostly a washout. There were lots of washed out tents and soaking sleeping bags. Travel in mud was difficult. Some cars had to be towed out of the mud. But nobody said we were trapped. Nobody was freaking out. We still had a good time.

I stumbled on researching the use of some honeys to treat infections where antibiotics weren’t effective. I only was seeking a way to get a dressing to stick, as I’m allergic to adhesives. It’s endlessly fascinating to me. Especially knowing that archeologists found 2 thousand years old pots of honey, unaffected by time. 🍯 - Bless you for your informed perspective.

This is nothing new for Burners. I remember the first time I got rain, one of the rangers outside the fence line was chasing down trash and got his truck stuck on the railroad tracks and the mud was so bad they couldn't get it off. They just left it and a train came by a week later and plowed in to it and kept on going.

    Good job with this Judson, well produced. And not just interviews, but interactions (the handshakes and hugging as with Alex), and well done edits, "i think there's some good people everywhere." I liked the composition of opening this from inside the bus looking outwards, then getting fully out into it all. Good pacing (little too fast on the rainbow shots montage). You spoke well and responsively, in tone and stature, with your guests, not just asking rote questions but conversing, minimally, time-efficiently, to capture atmosphere and actual accounts of lived experience. The interview with the older fella was also beneficial in setting some context of experience (as has been heard elsewhere, 'hardship' brings people together). This was a fairly reasonable selection of interview subjects. Obviously this could have been done to cast a broader range of experience to include more of the negative, as I'm sure some folks 'weren't having it,' but this was reasonable enough to counter the more extreme take of this event as a national emergency (though these things can sometimes get out of hand, 70k people is a lot to manage).
    EDIT: Ah, I see your tagline, "Supremely watchable, curiously relatable" yeah well, you're hitting the mark with that. Good on you for having your target format/style locked down so well.

    Yes, people are different. I am glad that I meet more good, positive, responsive people on my way. Whatever message you carry yourself, so will it be sent back to you.
