the subject of him and Becky and her son possibly moving into some vacant vacationer cabins for the duration.
     
    “Miss Feng you know all about my obviously bad and unfortunate encounter with that insane old man and the axe so we decided that it might be a good idea for me to just hang out here and lay low for a bit. Charlie and I decided in lieu of me paying any kind of rent or making other arrangements that I could fix the security gates and see about some tasks around here like doing some light construction or getting some wild game for the stew pot.” Farley said before being harangued by the small feisty Asiatic woman again that he couldn’t just think he was going to sit around with Charlie and drink beer and stay there for free by not doing any of that work he proposed.
     
    Once a pause in the bickering amongst them all had ceased and a chattering truce was called, Farley had set about doing the chores he had contracted for and had undertaken much more than he had even planned on doing for securing the welfare, comfort and safety of everyone involved that he had in his own optimistic euphemism referred to as having been ‘taken under his wing’.
     
    Farley, Becky and Jeremy went to check out the cabins and chose which ones they wanted. The inside of the cabins were pretty much all uniformly  the same and they finally decided to choose the last two on the end going towards the Wu’s house.
     
    Farley mentioned that when they ended up moving over here full time later today that they should park their vehicles at one of the other cabins they were not occupying rather than their own new homes. By spacing them out, he hoped that to any outside observer that might find their way over to this place or remember it for looting or foraging might think there were more people living here than just them.
     
    He scratched his head and tried to think of any other possible ways to get the same effect but couldn’t come up with anything other than maybe occasionally moving their cook fire around. They had enjoyed a communal meal with Charlie and his family today getting to know each other but for now Farley figured they would eat at their own respective cabins mostly and Charlie and his family would eat at their place.
     
    There would be some barter going on between Farley and Charlie Wu regarding  Farley’s long term storage food versus some supplies that Charlie was in control of that were left behind in the lake resorts snack bar and small store.  Charlie had been the civilian military employee administrator for this Air Force recreational facility and possessed the keys to the kingdom as it were of this now abandoned and forsaken place.
     
    Charlie and his family had been mostly subsisting on frozen hamburgers and hotdogs kept cold by the use of an emergency generator but fuel for it was running out. For Farley and crew finding someone possessing such a bounty of these types of delicacies though was like finding a fountain in the middle of the desert. This small amount of food stores left wouldn’t last long though and needed to be eaten up well before the gas ran out.    Farley was going to try his hand at making hot dog rolls soon in his Dutch oven but he said that he couldn’t guarantee what kind of results he would have other than it would be some kind of biscuit shaped like a hot dog bun.
     
    Farley figured they would be sharing a communal meal together off and on often enough if for no other reason than splitting up big cans of long term freeze-dried food was easier that way, as was tasting everyone’s different way of cooking and sharing the task. Later on when their supply started getting low, the communal pot was probably the best way to go though when they became more dependent on hunting and gathering but that wasn’t necessary right now. What was necessary now was the bonding and formation of their survival family or tribe as they began to refer to the arrangement.
