Pretty wild. Towards the end am I hearing a blow off valve, or is that a rev limiter?
I'm curious if they made it all the way out.

He probably got out of there, and hopefully got home with the trailer's entry steps still attached.

i have been in the concert business 51 years. I have never seen a concert site with such low prep and costs thereof, ie, no fencing, no water, min lighting (other than a bonfire) no garbage cleanup/disposal by design, no nothing other than cost of bands S&L, staging, generators to run that, and labor. Those are normal predictable costs at nearly every large outdoor concert.
With 75K? in attendance, little advertising required, admittedly I have no idea how much it costs to rent a dried-up unused lakebed in the middle of nowhere, but with ticket prices over 3 digits, somebody is making a fortune here.

UPDATE: The TRX owner reached out! The truck and trailer made it out, just a bit dirty! Confirmed it was a rental, and he showed the renter the video and he thought it was badass! (Considering there was no damage)

NICE
Thanks!
Some fun facts:
Some RV rentals specifically state "No Burningman" in the contracts. This event is going to be a huge big deal for many years. It's probably the last time it will happen, as the lake floor will be hugely impacted for decades.
