I just read a report (most of which is pure propaganda) from a leftist reporter who was escorted through the camp. But it does have some intell of value.
Per her report there are about 25 people inside the "compound". They "shuttle in envoys for food and supplies". It seems the locals, whom the media claims doesn't want them there don't seem to have a problem selling supplies to the protesters.
Many people have come to Burns hauling in supplies including 2 fishermen from Washington who brought 300 oysters.
The buildings inside the refuge were designed to offer all the comforts of home to the weekday park rangers, with a sizable headquarters containing a large kitchen, living room, bathrooms with showers, and a hallway of bedrooms. When I entered this main building, the “chow house,” it was evident that those Facebook entreaties for food had worked. The militia had enough snacks to wait out just about any standoff,
A woman named Melissa Cooper, one of only two women then staying at the refuge (despite the cranberry farmer’s claim) stood in the designated storeroom, which usually serves as a gym, organizing boxes of supplies, many donated by visitors. There was everything from tuna fish to peanut butter, muffins to Doritos, wool socks to foot warmers, plus freezers filled with meat. For dinner that night, Melissa said, she served two hams, 30 pounds of potatoes, green beans, and apple pie. “God is on our side,” Melissa said, as she showed off the two washers, two dryers, four refrigerators, two ovens, two dishwashers, and television in the camp. One of the houses where people are bunking had HBO, she told me.
Even some of the locals have been dropping off supplies including ranchers who've brought meat.
