Our Shared Infrastructure:
Our Shared Infrastructure:
Fly Ranch is an off-grid site, and gathering here requires us to think collectively about what we need and how we provide it. Rather than asking everyone to bring duplicate equipment and encourage waste, we invest in shared infrastructure that serves the whole community. This ideally lightens everyone's load in the process. What follows are the key systems we'll have in place.
For a fuller picture of the spaces, art, and installations you'll find on the land, visit the Site Map on our website.
Toilets:
The Summit uses waterless toilets provided by Ecozoic Resources — innovative biofilter systems that transform organic waste into compostable material rather than relying on water, sewage hookups, or chemical treatment. They've worked extensively with BWB & Fly Ranch both at Burning Man and past Summits and are a natural fit for our land stewardship values. Please treat them with care — they're part of how we keep our footprint light on the land, and you'll love the experience.

Community Hearth (Kitchen):
We run on radical self-reliance, so there's no catering or food service. What we do have is the Community Hearth — a fully equipped shared kitchen container (donated by SquareOne) stocked with burners, flat tops, pots, pans, prep surfaces, a dishwashing station, compost system, and solar-powered refrigeration. Think of it less like a camp kitchen and more like a communal restaurant kitchen that belongs to everyone.

Bring your own food and cook for yourself, your friends, or — if the spirit moves you — a few dozen strangers. A sign-up system will help coordinate use of the space so it doesn't all happen at once.
You also have the option to add a $50 Food Donation at registration, which splits evenly between the regenerative garden and a shared Community Hearth pantry stocked with direct-trade coffee, local dairy, vegetables, and other base ingredients available to everyone. The more people who contribute, the more abundant the pantry becomes!
Solar Power:
Fly Ranch is a fossil-fuel-free, generator-free site. Our power comes from a larger solar array and several solar trailers, generously provided by the Black Rock City Solar Team. These are distributed across the event site and are primarily dedicated to production needs — lighting, sound, the Community Hearth, and shared infrastructure.

Limited charging stations will be available for personal devices. Consider bringing a personal power bank you can charge up and bring to your own personal space.

Community Shade:
June in the Nevada high desert can mean serious sun. We'll have three community shade structures on site, generously provided by our friends at Shade Shifters. These are shared spaces for workshops, gatherings, rest, and refuge — use them, linger in them, and help keep them welcoming for everyone.
