Diplo says he orchestrated another great escape from Burning Man … this time claiming he and some pals had to walk 15 miles through the desert to get back to civilization.

The DJ shared his trek on social media on Friday … braving the heat through the muddy desert.

Diplo notes the whole situation is “f***ed up” … before posting another video in which he says he and his buddies hiked “15 miles through Indian land” to meet up with a buddy who would take them to Reno. Burning Man is located a little more than 100 miles from the city.

Later, in the car, there appears to be some confusion about how far they actually walked … because a friend claims his tech says it was a high-intensity 39-minute experience — which obviously is not nearly enough time to walk 15 miles. Diplo says it was much closer to 2 hours … though to make it 15 miles in 2 hours, you’ve still gotta move at a brisk 8-minute-per-mile pace.
