I Survived a Post-Apocalyptic LARP!

[@momsberettas9576]

Dirtnap here. It was awesome hanging out with you guys! Hopefully backfire and I will see you there next year!! Amazing video.

[@Comet73]

Great name, great character! ❤️🇨🇦

[@justlanchen]

Thanks for being a part of the video!!! oh yes, I will definitely see you next year 🫶🫶

[@Magicspells1]

By boyfriend plays jugger and has wanted to go to play for a while now, but he said Covid kind of made hard for the Wastland,, is that true? I want to go!

[@kamelyko6647]

Did you have bottle openers? My husband has one haha

[@gameragemagazine]

We’d still like our mail by the way.

[@bluedragonmystic]

Hey, this is Hypno, had an awesome time at Wasteland! Thanks for capturing it (I’m the guy hanging off the back of the truck)

[@Wofford_cosplay]

Rasputin here that was my tea shop inside the slammer...hope to see yall next year..Day Star bad

[@chikararexzpo]

One of my friends from work told me to save all my bottle caps in a fishbowl for her... she told me she was going camping in the middle of the desert now I know where they went for vacation🤣... Also now I know where she gets all her weird knickknacks to give me😆

[@Kadmanx]

This is quite honestly one of the coolest things ive ever seen! I cant believe i didnt know this existed and is officially on my bucket list!

[@ghostuscoyote]

BackFire here, was a pleasure to bake in the wasteland sun with you guys! Also im sober now.

[@nostrathomas8057]

I'm so glad the wasteland is still going on. I wanna go so badly!!

[@justlanchen]

YOU MUST

[@fubufb420]

This is Soo cool... Who knows...someday it might be a real place 😂 At least they got the jump on the whole future thing!! 😂😂 I'm going...someday...🎉

[@nostrathomas8057]

@@fubufb420 for real. I wish this was a monthly larp! Id go all the time

[@nostrathomas8057]

Word. It would prolly become the biggest larp in the states.

[@mrhappy8803]

Thats me at 26:53 Happy the Lost Raider King

[@DeceasedONE]

You look great! Now go F yourself! What a great greeting!

[@floydster23]

Jugging is based on the movie Salute of the Jugger, although a shorter version was released in the US as Blood of Heroes.

[@7742460]

Outstanding video. One of your best in my opinion. I didn’t know anything like this existed. I will put this on my list for my next life. Love everything you post

[@justlanchen]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying that!! I’m glad that I helped you find a new event to attend :)

[@junker7791]

Hey - That's me with the armored gloves at the craps table! Gas Tank had that table on fire - I made so many caps when he was rolling!

[@edm5356]

Shout out to the person with the hyperion gun. Borderlands lives on.

[@LARPTUTOR]

"This is a fantastic video and an incredible conversation. You’ve captured the mood beautifully with the video. Thank you so much!"

[@buckaroobanzai2551]

The name 451 has to come from Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 no? Not a larper myself but sure do enjoy watching you do it. Made me want to go to the one in QC. Love Ren faires.

[@DavidTodd-id2fl]

You beat me to the answer by 6 hrs, "Fahrenheit 451, a temperature at which paper burns"

[@justlanchen]

correct!!!! you should def give larping a try, you'll never look back!

[@Otteractor]

While the larping is a big component, it's not fully necessary at WW. As long as you're in a themed costume you can just be yourself.

[@madmark30001]

Ah. I thought it was correlated to the letters of the alphabet. DEA. Narc!

[@shaunOG91]

Such a cool video! Glad you had fun! I went to a similar event back in 2015, we played there with my band, and it was epic. I was a Warboy named Sneer. It was so much fun. The city was built upon an old, long unused military bunker system and it creepy AF at night let me tell you that! 😂

[@tadlock1]

Dam'it Dylan here, that was our tribe "Raging Ferals" truck. As you put it, thr biggest rig. Come find us again and youre more than welcome to ride with us whenever!

[@AdamSuperAC]

Fahrenheit 451- I see what you did. Yep read the novel . I'm just here for the Guzzoline ..... Hello from Australia ! 👍😎👍

[@justlanchen]

Love me some Guzzoline!

[@Incandescentkiki]

This is really cool and looks like a ton of fun. I’d definitely go, I love that the money is caps similar to fallout and the mad max vibes are great 👏

[@justlanchen]

It was such a cool experience. I’m just obsessed with Larping now.

[@justlanchen]

NEXT YEAR!

[@rydertheashen1722]

Hey thats me! At 8:03 im on the left side of the group of 3! Awesome shot!

[@WastelandWeekend]

Great video! We're really glad you enjoyed the Wasteland and got into the spirit of things!

[@stendorkken5873]

Hell yeah! Fantastic depiction of Wasteland! Welcome to the community!

[@just_nate_a]

Yea I have to be there next year. see y'all there!

[@More-v6p]

Larping or dorking is probably one of the last places to ignore reality❤

[@wtfpeter879]

LARPing the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

[@Louie-117]

Huh, I dint see one person of color there.

[@rstollenwerk]

I've always wanted to go to this, but being a new dad has really made it impossible. My brother goes every year, he's actually in one of the shots towards the end driving a truck!

[@cody2231]

This was really cool to watch! Adding this experience to my LARP bucket list!

[@falloutpropguy]

Nat-20/max here of max's barter Absolutely loved the video. Hope you all come back next year

[@justlanchen]

Omg!! Thank you so much for checking out the video 🥰🥰🥰🫶 I will definitely be there next year

[@falloutpropguy]

@justlanchen I just did my 5th year 2nd on pre event build I love seeing all the new people that come every year I'm bumbed you didint bump into me on your barter quests. I turned my a t v into a massive store / traders post haha

[@gameragemagazine]

That’s our mail at 10:40 #Justice4ForsakenNation

[@justlanchen]

I actually didn’t know if it was supposed to be delivered or if it was for me joining the NCR. I wasn’t clear on what it was for exactly but I still have the money so it’s yours!

[@shard19456]

Look at her just outting herself as a criminal.

[@remirez2k3]

i smell a fued brewing in the next years wasteland...... would make for an interesting bit of rp to be honest.

[@kamelyko6647]

Do you guys need a Swedish lawyer, because I am one

[@The_Savvy_Satyr]

that sounded like Makeshift that you were listening to . He has the best songs. Caretaker here, glad that you enjoyed your first WW.

[@HypatiaStudy]

Is this a thing? 😮 OMG we need more LARPS here in the Old World. It is amazing. I wish I had a chance to attend one. Thank you for sharing your experience. It shows how much you enjoyed it.

[@tootles444]

I did not know this was a thing!!! I guess anything is possible. ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@Mikalon90]

This is so cool. Since we dont have a Desert in germany we play them in run down houses in the forest

[@stevenhawk7626]

Thanks, that was great. These people know how to party.

[@dustycamera3171]

How goes it mates! It’s UKE! Was an absolute pleasure singing and drinking with yall!! Here’s to next year

[@thedracolichking]

Hey there. I'm Lich -- now the Apoca-Lich since I was allowed to revive, ohoho~! I didn't have any proper loot on me, but if you come again next year, find me and I'll have a belated prize.

[@matneyx]

Fanbelt here (we didn't meet) -- It's so funny to me that you hitched a ride from the Outpost to the Radstag... that's like 50 feet! :D (Okay, maybe 100... )

[@DynohasADD]

I was gonna say the same!

[@matneyx]

@@DynohasADD it made compelling video, though.

[@rustwitch.]

Next year will be my 9th year. Going was one of the top 3 best decisions I've ever made in my LIFE.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

This is absolutely incredible!!! Now I have a new goal!! Thank you for sharing this, had no clue it existed.

[@harleyrdr1]

OK, I had to watch Mad Max again. I mean the original. I was 19 when it was released, but I didn’t watch it until after I was in the military. Now I live here in Phoenix and I’m thinking next September I’m may have to go do this thing! What a great video! Thank you for putting the time and effort into doing this!

[@tootles444]

I did not know this was a thing… how interesting. ❤

[@RhebeDraws]

So fun to know that are so many experiences in the world. Not only in the fantasy 😊

[@Celticninja011]

exactly like mad max, but way more friendly and welcoming

[@battlebardart]

man...I have to get to the Wasteland. It's been calling my name since 2017 and I just haven't been able to afford it. But I have to. Thanks for showing us the end of the world

[@Bookrider951]

B.F.H. here from the Bizarre Bazaar! Welcome to the F-in' Dirt! The Bazaar will gladly barter with you once again next year!

[@southernlife6584]

Cool video, I'm going to have to attend this event!

[@Saluno375]

This looks so dope. I don't think I could handle the heat but I still want to visit so badly. Awesome video

[@justlanchen]

Go at night!!

[@kamelyko6647]

Honestly fine that you didn’t complete all the quests, they’re meant to get you out and meeting people and experience things and if you did that, they were successful quests! Come back next year to see the feast of blades at my house! We also have a nice barter time in the mornings too

[@robferrio8184]

looks like such a fun experience

[@Oluabayo]

The Jugging is from Salute of The Jugger (UK title) starring Rutger Hauer:)

[@aproch02]

This was so cool to watch

[@shaunwilde2084]

That's @theladeedanger in the Swamp Shack - big name in some circles.

[@brandonjohnson736]

that is awesome. I would like to get into events like this. it looks so fun

[@justlanchen]

You should.!! There is no looking back once you do

[@MissDarlaDeville]

You should do Zed town, it’s a live action zombie larp. We did it in LA years ago but I believe it’s only in Australia atm. It was super fun tho!

[@doc7440]

Jugger ! wow!! The Blood of Heroes !!!

[@davidlane07]

Those trucks are so cool!

[@NINJAInferno]

Ha! You bounty hunted my tribemate Lich!

[@dads_diy]

This would be so fun

[@B4dD0GGy]

Great Video: 451 so could have been "351"- tribute to the last of the V8 Interceptors.

[@Olaf138]

Thanks for your donation to Caps 4 Kidz 😁

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

Wish i was much closer. This looks so fun.

[@lesliegala1081]

Jugger was a game from the movie Blood of Heroes another old skool post apoc movie.

[@pixichik77]

A hearty FU from Skratch! You’ll need to swing by the Body Shop next time, barter for hair and makeup

[@mrstrawberry2628]

May all your wishes come true in your heart feeling soul

[@whitefox703]

i would love to see another fantasy larp somewhere within the states

[@pixichik77]

Also also, for anyone curious to attend: it isn’t a full LARP. Some people do LARP yes but not everyone does. Money does exist, but only at approved vendors and food vendors Can confirm that it’s some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet And if you want something similar with less heat, check out Neotropolis in the same spot by the same people, but with more Blade Runner and total recall feel

[@evagreenwell3610]

The jugging comes from a 1989 Rutger Hauer/Joan Chen movie called The Blood of Heroes. I remember it well.

[@SatansPenguin]

lol 451 way to flex that literacy in the wasteland ;P

[@gretzkyyy5645]

when that guy said at the end, if you're looking at this and you're thinking I NEED TO GO TO THIS- that's me right now

[@blackphoenixfamily8477]

@1:26 Surely someone there told you the inspiration for "Jugger" is from Blood of Heroes...... Also, wearing helmets is crazy!

[@KooLaidStudios]

That looks really cool, I didn't know they had anything like this, kinda reminds me of a rainbow gathering lol

[@lampshade452]

I have always wanted to go to this. How do you prepare? What do you need to bring? A tent? Lots of water? Three days worth of food? Where does everyone sleep? So many questions

[@kassiopiajudkins2722]

Yeah, I was really interested in where everyone sleeps and the prep that goes into it. Especially if you're someone who doesn't have a "tribe".

[@DEMOGarage]

Entertaining and well made video. I was wondering what the sleeping arrangements are for something like this.

[@sollap2]

You dont usually get a lot of free items even if you are new there. It helps that you are an attractive girl. It's absolutely okay, but its not the average experience :)

[@jordancox2910]

Great video!

[@justlanchen]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jf2369af]

Looks like a great time

[@lightone04]

This is awesome

not much of a Mustang fan, but that one is badass! 12:53

[@hydrostream76]

Awesome !

[@jpl6596]

This is epic

[@MrJedi5150]

Very cool! I only heard about this event a few weeks ago when I happened upon someone's video from last year. What a great thing to get to go to. Between this and the multi-day event in Canada you went to, which would you recommend for a first-time LARPer? And Buckaroobonzai beat me to your question, 451 has to be a Ray Bradbury reference. 😁 And just as a sidenote, who says that lawmakers never have a sense of humor...the California Penal Code section for the crime of Arson is "451 PC".😆

[@drewski5738]

So definitely will be going to this one day soon cool

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Looks like a wonderful experience. Glad we are able to get back to having fun. FU!

[@justlanchen]

FU 🖕🫶

[@13_13k]

Thanks for the video. Is that event held at El Mirage Dry Lake Bed? Looks like it could be fun. I live in Downtown L.A. so depending how deep into the Mojave it's only two hours away

[@tadlock1]

Mojave desert just outside California City.

[@icba9292]

Where do u sleep? Do u bring an RV or have to travel outside the city to stay at a local hotel or something?

[@falloutpropguy]

You can do both ! Some people camp in tents some people sleep in there cars or rvs some stay in California city

[@icba9292]

@@falloutpropguy hmm okay thanks alot for the info

[@tomjohnson4922]

being mostly Irish/Swedish I would probably burn to a cinder in all that sun. With the LARPing do you play any of the TTRPGs? I do know Vampire the Masquerade has LARP groups, not sure about Call of Cthulhu.
