Edited to add: the money shot..
Before he began camping with Fisher, Landin worked as a gas attendant in Burns.
They are now supported by food and monetary donations from Finicum supporters and friends.

And they can't compromise with the government, ...because it's the government.

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
