Deployment Plan - 2025

Build Week - Containers & Food Drop-off

Container Drop-off - Monday (build week)

Brad Peik stage all containers in a special area close to the playa. This means they can quickly bring them to our plot of land once placement confirms it with our first representative. We must contact Peik Construction as soon as this happens to save on time. Many camps work with Peik and we want to get in line asap.

Once containers are on the ground

1. Leads Unlock the containers and take out:
   1. All "Phase 1" bins and materials
   2. Toolbox and ladders
2. Leads use the "Placement Bin" to properly mark the plot of land with yellow ribbons
   1. Ensure you mark the fire lane with red ribbons
   2. Ensure you mark the fuel and propane depots with red ribbons
3. Shade structures
   1. Team A: handles stretching the shade tarps between the containers
   2. Team B: handles erecting the shade structure for tents

Timing of food delivery - Tuesday (build week)

Assuming that build week follows a typical Monday–Friday schedule, a smart plan would be to have Brad Peik drop off the two containers on Monday. This way, the installation can cool overnight and by Tuesday our fridges and freezers will be at the right temperature, making Tuesday the ideal day for food drop-off. This sequence ensures we have a buffer early in the week to address any last-minute issues before the event.

Vendor delivery

If food is purchased from Bonanza, someone will need to coordinate with them once the fridges and freezers are ready to take food in. That same person must ensure there are at least 4 people waiting to receive and sort the food into the fridges and freezers. This would ensure the process is fast. The same lead should ensure the container itself is air conditioned and cold. Ensure the container doors are closed to keep the cold air in, and that the container is shaded. Finally, if possible, it would be best to schedule the delivery to either late evening or very early morning when temperatures are still relatively low. This would minimize the possibility of food spoilage.

Self-Delivery

If food is purchased by the camp directly (no Bonanza), it will likely require using dry ice to keep the food frozen. Ideally the freezers are already very cold by the time the food arrives on playa so that no thawing occurs. Similar to the previous section above, best if this is done at night when temperatures are low, which would help prevent the food from thawing and spoiling.

Bread

It's important to note that Bonanza doesn't do bread, but will deliver anything else. This means the camp must purchase and transport bread onto playa regardless.
