  • I guess what I’m saying is the largest qty of people going are of a middle/low income based on the average location called home.

    The rich represent a fairly small portion. Some of the people in my camp are way above my income but their generosity was astounding. IMO BM brings out the exceptional qualities of people.

    Don’t know the average but I think base price is about $600.

    I heard that the main chunk of your tickets cost goes to renting out the desert and paying for the federal Ranger and local police support



  • What a wonderful experience.

    I loved every minute of the week.

    So many genuinely kind and caring people.

    The most staggering revelation I had was that many of my preconceived judgments based on stereotypes were way wrong. We camped with people that I would not normally connect with in the default. Some of these people I think have the potential to be strong, lifelong friends

    There’s more in common Than there is a difference.

    People go on and on about Tech, Bros and sparkle ponies, but scenarios like this, allow those of us, with the best intentions to shine. I hope this year’s Takeaway is more about the strength of unity than anything else











  • Those damn gas station sunglasses I’ve had for like 15 years. Still good enough that I haven’t replaced them…

    Seriously though,

    I think the BIFL movement overvalues brands.

    Looking for quality and intentionally buying something you like that will be with you for years is more important to me.

    Buy less, repair it, use it longer.
