It's different terrain north of Reno, I guess. If some truck-sized generators can be driven in, and some water it's doable. That area of southern Nevada, however is more like Phoenix without the cactus.
There's cactus down there, and joshua trees, too. But very little surface water outside of stock tanks. Not a porta potty for tens of miles.... I worked a well about 20 miles outside the fence in the very early 90s.
You know you're in the boonies, but the overflights were neat. (A-10s, C-130, F-16s)
