"What Is Wasteland Weekend?" The Film

[@KevinFisher215808]

This documentary makes me want to pack up shop and go really bad. So beautifully shot. So well edited. This looks like a freaking blast.

[@NicholasBarnett]

Do it Kevin!! Get out here!

[@sheepdogbounty2183]

Agreed

[@wesleychapman8842]

I showed my boss at there army surplus store i work his eyes light up and says how can i cover your shifts for this we have to go

[@mikeymany6137]

A nuclear blast

[@aristosbywater9605]

Trust me, there's nothing like it. So much fun!

[@WNxNozama]

This was my fifth year at Wasteland Weekend (Im always in barter town). I LOVE it! Planning my entire year of touring and working different conventions (like comicon) around this event! Thank you for making this film!

[@5150TheBOB]

Dude im breathlessly taken back great production hope to see you this year bud

[@louisecross]

it looks absolutely wonderful, I'm in Australia so am unlikely to get the chance to attend , I have however been to Silverton in NSW Australia and seen the original Mad Max vehicles (many years ago). I've been a fan of Mad Max since 1979 (old ones are the best for me)....I'm a Grandma now ....but I'm pretty sure cool Grandma's are welcome in Wasteland too ;-)

[@stilesgibson2532]

I’m surprised at the lack of borderlands psychos but I can’t wait to go to this one day

[@j.r.hoopleton7873]

I've never watched this all the way through. Thank you, this is amazing. I was inches off-camera for a couple of these moments, which is extra awesome.

[@ryanlombardi8870]

This is absolutely incredible. thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm from massachusetts and I might go with my dad. We love Mad Max and all apocalyptic stuff really

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

Such an awesome movie and not just because I get to see my beautiful Charlotte(the old beat to shit police car with the Gatlin gun on the hood) in it. Well done,...... well worded, well edited, and shows the amazingly apocalyptic perfection all in the time frame that is needed to explain what you all are missing if you don't go to Wasteland Weekend....... YOU ARE AWAITED ₩₩ 2019

[@tristonterry2257]

This is a awesome documentary.

[@clau2002]

Nice video, man! A good job done well! In 8-10 years, it will be a new way of life!

[@exidrial431]

Man I love the desert, it's so beautiful

[@hanshendrickson1010]

Thank you for this. Truly an introspective look on what the Wasteland actually is and all the fun you can have there! I've wanted to go to WW for years now, I've finally done my research and will be applying as a volunteer this year. I'm from NY so the trek alone would cost me an arm and a leg so I'm hoping I can get in as a Volunteer & see what all the hype is about. What kind of bike did you have/would you recommend? I want to have a means of transportation around the camp as well as the option to go off-roading when not on duty.

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

Little 125cc Dirtbike. Walking is also an option. Just takes longer.

[@hanshendrickson1010]

they don't make you wear a helmet?

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

No. They do ;)

[@csttrophy3]

Absolute Gigantic!

[@shawng7902]

I feel like "moisten yourself first" is such good advice for so many of life's shitty obstacles. If you go into life properly hydrated, with plenty of rest, and properly moistened you could accomplish any damn thing you want!!!

[@soulboy6073]

Im 62 and a id love to do this !!!!

[@matthewsroka3327]

great documentary!! I heard a commercial for 2018 wasteland weekemd on paranormal UK Radio and I wanna go !!

[@gavinhosler5503]

All the people that attend this will be the ones left if there was an apocalyptic event like that..

[@tommysimmons3258]

When and where is this and how much?

[@krelliankruge9993]

If there was a permanent settlement, I would move there

[@rich_edwards79]

Heh, it's called Slab City at the Salton Sea, a corner of CA where the apocalypse came early. Just watch out for the tweakers.

[@raphmaster23]

Shoot these are the things that make me want to drive out west even though I hate driving

[@kentprepper6392]

Gave me goosebumps watching this, fair play to you all ❤😎👍

[@masterdeere]

34:04 Donald Sutherland is that you?

[@harlot_activity5441]

I got chills

[@blueonblueracingnova]

That's a bucket list weekend for me

[@Standalor]

one of these years i need to make it out to Wasteland Weekend

[@ApocGuy]

this video can rival ANY made by well paid and equipped company. Hats down to camera guy :) ( or girl ) . Wish I could attend, but shipping vehicles overseas and back is killer for my limited budget. Also, whoever has been designated for music selection ; buy him/her sixpack of beer ;) .

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

Thanks, dude. It was all me. This thing is my baby.

[@daylenhigman8680]

Agreed

"Everyone wants the world to end so they can go play Mad Max. Here's the thing, though. You're not going to get to be Mad Max. You're going to be the guy tied to the stick as a flaming projectile for Lord Humongous." - Pat Boivin.

[@mavrickmiller2755]

Right after the vibrator races, i swear you can hear someone say "want a potato?"

[@graywolf2694]

How have I never heard of this....

[@victoriarandle5190]

Planning on going 2022 🖤

[@dimasarayan2327]

Wasteland is an alternative apocalyptic camp made by the geniuses of practical survival!!!

[@michelleslutpuppy4355]

In Australia 🦘🌏🦘 they have a festival 🎎🥮 like it

[@legofanguyvid]

wonder what chrome tastes like?

[@KravenMorrhed]

Its decorative cake icing.

[@damocsell]

I think I may fit in here when where and how?

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

September every year. Aerial Acres, CA. Drive, fly, float, crawl, your choice.

[@MrSakamotothecat]

A moment of silence please our Auntie Entity passed away, she was our road warrior, our legend, Tina Turner played a big role thanks to her, many road warriors were born in the 80s and 90s, today there are more warriors that ever.

[@justwhenithought]

Man, I've got to go next time.

[@butcher2905]

How does one gain entry to such a beautiful event

[@clarktferrill]

What The F $@K........this is Crazy...Luv it! ...Great Video...Music is Perfect...Thanks

[@LagiDrake1984]

this is so awesome hope to go there someday :D

[@tonydavis4957]

Very cool

[@chriscorbin5501]

Fockin time I had a rasin to make a rzr in to a mad max car

[@StayHappyDanny]

The first thing I’m gonna do when I turn 18 is go to wasteland weekend

[@MountainFisher]

where and when is this?

[@JerryDLTN]

How is it different than The Burning Man?

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

Burning man is much more of a trip. This is more of a carnival. Burning man is generally equated with hippies and 'burners', and while we do have some burners every year at Wasteland Weekend, the people associated with Wasteland Weekend are people who LOVE the Mad Max franchise, and are generally obsessed with it, it's costuming, it's culture, and the cars involved.

[@mutoidliz2320]

I'm hugely into this life but I live in the UK,can't drive,and there are very few events like this 😭!

[@rsars161]

24:00 what the music> please say me name))))

[@ChizzleVision]

OH AND THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS FILM. MIKE DARLING MADE THIS FILL, NOT WHO THIS IS

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

Are you high? No, he didn't. I made this film. Get the fuck off my channel, you thicctard.

[@cassiusdio6048]

Wow comments are 5 years old? I hope this is still a thing. 😮

[@dr.deathdefy9592]

I WAS SO UNPREPARED FOR THE "Thats me" XDDDD

[@wastelanddv8062]

“Patrolling the Mojave makes me wish for a Nuclear winter.”

[@MrCouchmen]

@Maitre Mark and how looks nuclear snowflakes?

[@HatchetPlayz101]

Soon

[@8bitjoeschmoe643]

I fucking new I would see this comment

[@drunorthodox]

😂

[@allenbadge4232]

You might get your wish the way our world is going

[@matthewsroka3327]

great documentary!! I heard a commercial for 2018 wasteland weekemd on paranormal UK Radio and I wanna go !!

[@batbby3015]

What a GREAT DOCUMENTARY!! Seriously, well done! I wanna go SO BAD and this just made me wanna go 100x more. The amount of effort and dedication that goes into everyones' costumes and the detailed props/campsites..... amazing.

[@batbby3015]

When I first commented, I hadn't completely finished watching yet, BUT I STAND BY MY COMMENT. LOVED IT.

[@5150TheBOB]

Rachel S its beyond anything you will ever do i went for the first time last year and will die if i miss it ever again... And i didnt experience a quarter of what she has to offer.

[@acetomatocompany]

Rachel S , I agree with you 💯 percent!!!!

[@jasonwick3257]

Me toooooo

[@andrewflanagan5027]

Batbby, have you gone yet? If not, you just need to make the jump. It'll change your priorities in life. Find the online wasteland weekend community, and we'll help you make it happen.

[@mattdavies422]

man, id love to set this up in Australia. Where it all began....

[@zacharydorer874]

That's insane, I have always seen your pics, but watching this I never knew how big it is and is set up like a actual town. I really want to go to this one year. So entertaining to watch this and learn

[@snake4846]

Now i can finally say "patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter".

[@thisisacrummyname]

Why haven't I heard of this before? I feel sad that I haven't been going to this for the past 9 years😕. I will definitely be making plans to come to this event.

[@jennyrapp4082]

I'm quite saddened to learn that I cannot go here yet due to my age, however I'm excited for the day that I can.

[@daylenhigman8680]

Whats the age limit?

[@ezgreviews6775]

Daylen Higman 18 and up I believe

[@fook-n-bear]

You are awaited

[@TheReddShinobi13]

I'm in the Haunted House business. Me and my friends are part of a little "family" from various haunted houses, called the Clan of Daemona. I've got them all into the idea of going here as post-apocalyptic versions of our characters.

[@axelthegreat9]

... I have found my people.

[@anvakathazit1102]

Congrats

[@JeithKarrett]

Fuck, that's amazing. True to Caesar.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Thanks for this video! Post-apocalypse is my absolute favorite genre; it's all I ever wore for Halloween, I even taught myself how to make "dust" and "dirt" that survives being washed. How am I only now hearing there's an event in which to live this post-apocalyptic life? Oh, I sooo hope I can go! Awfully far, but it looks amazing!

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Love the doggo! Mine likes getting made up to look like she's been roaming through the post-apocalypse with me, because she knows she gets attention when she's like that. I use mascara and eyeliner to grunge up her face, and just a little bit of red and black lipstick (mixed together) right around her mouth, so it looks like she's torn up some prey a few hours ago.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

The Car Cruise is glorious!

[@jeffradaj4205]

I had three tickets and both of my buddies snaked out, so I had to sell my tickets and took a major loss. I gotta go someday!

[@Captain_MonsterFart]

Aw you shoulda just taken a chance and gone alone! I bet you'd make friends fast.

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

Even if you go by yourself,....you will never be alone out there. It's the greatest family (you didn't know you had) that you will ever meet that are covered in spikes,chains,ammo, and leather. They will show everything you need to know,everyone you want to know,and even give you stuff to wear to get you ready for the end of the world as we know it.............. ......and that's just the beginning.

[@Wooley689]

Tickets? So where do you find those? Is there a sight with all the info somewhere???

[@5150TheBOB]

Dude best time of my life out there

[@5150TheBOB]

Oh and fuck you road rash

[@5150TheBOB]

You changed your name lol... What up camp buddy

[@mrsc6917]

I am hoping to go to the next one

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

jeff schnablegger Last week of September every year. Aerial Acres, CA.

[@happyseal7202]

3:48 Ave, true to Caesar!

[@dogistyping1211]

Watch yourself profligate

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

there is no better way to scrap a weekend than there, lol. apocalypse halloween! seriously, they really should make another mad max movie, it d be dirt cheap to do. this show is a wonderful piece of art wrapped up with wicked fun things to do and see. too bad I live too far to go, it s disneyland radical with an attitude, lol. perhaps, with chance, I d be able to make a similar event here up north, it rocks! to Vahalla my brothers!!!!!

[@tackyman2011]

Hey cyberfrank: What's "up north" for you? I'm in Washington state.

[@MrSemtex_]

When you listen to California love once 😂

[@LivingDreadDoll]

♡♡♡ Wish I lived nearby, only went once. Loved watching this

[@rupertogonzalez7443]

I love things like this! In a country that is divided by political views it's always nice to see people getting along!!!

[@markcrawford8876]

Good news for everyone who wants to attend this event. With current administration in Washington, this will soon just be "another day"

[@VandelayIndustriesLLC]

Burrning man is obviously amazing, but for me, I think this looks simpler and more like something I would sign on for. Not easy comind from the East Coast. No date for the next one I guess?

[@emzirek]

The very last song of a minute or so, Blows?? IDK about that it sounded pretty good to me!! All of the music was great!!

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

THIS was the original closing credits song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5ivapmqfb6liLM MFs hit me with a copyright strike over it, and the video already had 50K views, so I was NOT willing to reedit and reupload. The only option they gave me was to use some royalty free bullshit. OOF.

[@gage4g]

Great job putting this together. Sadly I won't ever be attending. I don't do well with heat. I love trees to much. It does look like fun.

[@Tastewithnewdrinks]

Amazing.

[@erikkellenberger5247]

Great film work one of my favorite movies from when I was a child I am 40 now also even from a young age 4th of July and Halloween we're always my favorite holidays I love the junk the grime the creativity good show

[@andyoneal1127]

I live super close to this and love post-apocalypse anything... How am I just hearing about this now??? A friend mentioned it and the more I look at it the more I want to go...

[@laurenwhitney7873]

omg, just heard about this an dying to go now!!!

[@jamesshamley6577]

Instead of a covid vaccine, you need a tetanus vaccine to go to this event.

[@ExtraWeirdable]

Damn I love this video, I'm gonna go at least once!

[@NicholasBarnett]

One timers always stay haha can't wait to see you.

[@willd.4808]

I can't believe I've never heard of this until now. My Borderlands-obsessed self is thoroughly enjoying this. Too bad it's not on this year. We had to cancel the fun apocalypse for the not-so-fun apocalypse.

[@aidansmith3821]

Shared: Check Liked: Check Subscribed: Check A wonderful video start to end, thank you

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

Quite welcome!

[@destinationunknown7857]

I just found this, holy smokes! I need to build a Vehicle from mad max movies and get out there. So freaking awesome! Thanks for the great video, very nicely done..

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

Thank you so much David for making this great little docu about an event that actually left me in tears, I love this so much. I made plans years ago to modify a few of my vehicles. I am so motivated to chop them up this year for sure. Looking forward to getting something like this started here in Canada. Hopefully you guys can keep coming together every year, it seems so worth it!

[@waynegraham7611]

Ya somewhere in the Alberta wastelands that would be awesome 👍

[@TristanWilder]

11:00 ... Hey it is SIX STRING SAMURAI!!!! awesome movie

[@masterdeere]

lets catapult discs and bubble gums at their car

[@thedarknesscallingme]

Okay definitely going on my bucket list

[@ChrisReknebVlogs]

This is by far one of the best vids I've seen yet on the event. Just bought my ticket for 2018 2 days ago and can't wait. Thanks for this!

[@joekresan8990]

This year it’s 246 bucks for “tickets”. Just like burning man. Bullshit. Comic-Con dress up in the desert. I’ll never tell where we go for free.

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

Yeah, fuck that. The year I made this was the last good year, which was 2017.

[@paulgermano7837]

Nice, I like that you showed Death Guild Thunderdome towards the end! I've never been to WW, but I saw them many times at Burning Man where they hold the arena fights that are fun to watch.

[@deepbludude4697]

Wont be long before it s gonna really by like this all the time... cept no gas, no food and no water...

[@rev1hard]

if you can get water you can grow your own gas and food

[@TurnAGundam]

rev1hard Food I get, but how do you grow your own gas?

[@ApocGuy]

corn, algae, pigs...everything that can give you oil, can be refined into biodiesel. tough luck for gasoline owners though ;).

[@KravenMorrhed]

People in the 1950's said it "wouldn't be long" before it was really gonna be like this.

[@wutntarnation]

@@KravenMorrhed They'll continue to be wrong.... until that dreadful day they are right.

[@goldboss7929]

And so the courier who had cheated death in the cemetery outside of Goodsprings had cheated death once again and the Mojave Wasteland was forever changed

[@Mulluns]

The one event I've been going to for five years now. It's the best sort of event I've ever been too in my life. Awesome documentary, My Friend.

[@robertoguiza9817]

war...war never change

[@vidsbygia4764]

Petition to turn this into a year long event

[@hiddenhistoryny129]

That's 2021... We're practicing now on 2020

[@bilsangel9496]

I really wanna go broo. It’s omgg. It’s for all of us people who wanna live like this

[@MisterMayhem727]

I am only 12 minutes into the movie and I am all in and going. I think I just found where I was born to be.

[@ricejuice8982]

Every LARP should have a doc like this

[@ricejuice8982]

Imagine just passing by this

[@longrider42]

Very interesting video. But you never did say when and where this event is. Also, you should check out a movie called "A Boy and his Dog" very good and odd movie.

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

1. Thank you. 2. Aerial Acres, CA 3. Own it.

[@helsdon71]

A Wicked awesome video. I am going to the 2018 Wasteland weekend mad max event and I can't wait to see everyone having fun. From jesse

[@rev1hard]

you'll love it

[@Chopsbailey]

Oh lordy, my johnson was out for that entire interview, I'm sorry for all the time you had to spend blurring that stupid thing out.

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

Oh come now, Nathan, it was only one TEENCY, TINY, LITTLE spot that needed to be blurred 😏😏😏😏😏

[@jbscotchman]

I love it! This is definitely on my bucket list. Loved the Hans Zimmer music at the end, great video man!
