So we taking bets on how long they'll last before freezing their nuts off and leaving?

Trust me on this. I'm from Kentucky.

But Oregon has an almost perfect collection of nuts from both ends of the spectrum. Sure, these so-called patriot groups probably pose a greater risk to society than your average crazy, acid-tripping, far-left Maoist hippy. I imagine Portland has a few of those stumbling around.

That's some crazy-ass John Birch Society shit right there, homes.

That's where preppers store supplies in case the government comes for their guns. Seeing as this is highly unlikely, that leaves a good amount of medical supplies, MREs, cutlery, firearms and ammunition, etc., out there for the taking. Be sure to thoroughly check for booby Holes before entering. It would suck if you manage to pry open an entrance only to receive a chestful of buckshot from a rigged shotgun. Safety first, you know?
