Bundy has repeatedly said the group is prepared for the long-haul. However during a tour of the site on earlier in the day, the Guardian was shown a food storage room that did not look like it could sustain a dozen men for more than a few weeks.
It included a cardboard box of apples and oranges, a few dozen pots of instant ramen, 24 cans of chicken noodle soup, a similar number of cans of sweetcorn, peas, beans and chili, and 20 boxes of macaroni and cheese.
There were also three sacks of potatoes, one bag of flour, another of rolled oats, boxes of raisins, a single bag of pretzels and one granola bar.
Really? Who planned this thing. Maybe we should send these idiots a DVD copy of the movie 'Alive' so they can on where they will find their food after the above food is gone. At least with the expected snow storm this weekend they can melt that for drinking water.

They're likely to run out of food and water in freezing conditions.
Damnit, that's animal abuse, pure and simple.
Poor furry baby.
I truly hate these fucking assholes.

(95,337 posts)I have read that today the power, phone and other utilities are getting cut along with the roads blockaded.
If anything, allowing reporters in there was smart - it gave the Feds an idea of just exactly what they are dealing with. These idiots aren't the smartest folks out there and the fact that every militia group out there has disavowed themselves from the Oregon Ya'llQaeda pretty much shows that we're scraping the barrel of the Dumb and the Clueless.

(11,583 posts)...clearly the local sheriff could go. The Bundy clan has said before that the only law they recognize is a local sheriff, so send the local sheriff and get him/her to tell them to leave now. Either they will go or they will reveal that they, in fact, do not respect the one office of authority they said they did. Liars or comply...their choice.
LynneSin
(95,337 posts)Having the Feds ignore them is the smart way to go. Let them walk out of there with their tails between their legs. These people are idiots and should be treated as such but they are also armed idiots so let's not create another Waco.
Let them walk out but into custody though.
No just go back to their lives like some are advocating.
They vowed to defend their takeover with their arms and lives.
That is sedition and they should be held accountable.

(49,212 posts)You see, part of the group were Mormon and part of them weren't. So naturally the Mormon version of the story is that the virtuous Mormon settlers definitely didn't kill or eat any people, and the beastly non-Mormons definitely did. So you'll get two monuments nearly side by side telling different versions of the tale at all the relevant sites up near Donner Pass. It's surreal.

If they're Mormon, wouldn't they know better about stocking food supplies. I wonder if they're hiding it someplace else.

(95,337 posts)those guys are screwed.
There are about 15 of them and they claim they can survive for years up there. They are assuming that the Federal government, which they despise, will continue to allow the mail (run by the federal government) to deliver packages and to allow the roads (maintained by federal government) to stay open for as long as they are in there. They are idiots.
If they really wanted to survive each person coming in there should have brought along enough MREs to survive for a year. Surviving in mother's basement does not make one a survivalist.

(34,136 posts)And I doubt wild yeast will be floating around this time of year in that area. A DUer posted a message in the Cooking and Baking group about making bread with wild or natural yeast so it is possible - http://www.democraticunderground.com/115755467. But those militia guys likely have no clue how to make bread if they were given lots of tools and all the ingredients in the world.

catnhatnh
(8,976 posts)I checked and being generous it comes in at under 200 calories....that makes a total of 4800 calories. But guess what:
Calories provide the energy you need for travel and warmth in the winter
environment; your bodys caloric needs are much higher in a winter camp
environment, 3600-6000 calories per day! This amount translates to 2 _ lbs or
more of food per person. Factors that influence caloric intake include weather,
body size, weight activity level, etc.
Once the heat goes off they are fucked...

(4,762 posts)all excited to insist these guys were serious preppers and hardened outdoorsmen and therefore surely brought enough fuel, food, and water to hold out for years. It came up in a few threads over the last few days.
Mocking these guys is not only the best response, but appears so far to be entirely deserved by these losers... They can't even play soldier convincingly.
The derp is strong. The lulz are constant!
I still favor killing the power, setting up a perimeter of machine gunners, and dousing the building in thousands of gallons of water from fire hoses or helicopter dumps. Get them soaking wet with no way to warm up and they will either crawl out begging for mercy or become delirious and unable to respond if they stay frozen too long.
The interior of the building will be a loss. Repo everything these loons own to pay for rebuilding.
