What are people doing with their time ?

Doreen, MayLin, Kateri's brother, Mary are the regular crew. No week end crew.

Guard Duty;
Each shift requires 2 people and lasts 4 hours. One walks around while the other keeps an eye on the surveillance cameras. They trade places after an hour. Scheduling is still very ad-hock. Among the regulars are the Grunt, Doc, Yvan, Kellyanna, Kateri, John, Scott, MayLin. Very often Mary, the computer hacker, will occupy the security room and watch the screens. 

Farm work;
Brown spends 4 to 6 hours at it every day and he is in charge of the fields. Usually the kids help for an hour. Also the Grunt, Scott, Doreen and John put in an hour or two, in the morning. Of course at certain times like planing and harvesting more people are required to put in more hours.

Marco is project leader and works obsessively at it about 8 hours / day. Other workers are Yvan, Scott, John, the Grunt, and Kateri, for 4 hours / day in the afternoon. 

Insulating the fortress;
Getting the camp main building ready for winter is mostly done by the two Russian friends of Yvan,  who put in 6 to 8 hour / day. Kateri is supervising the project. 


A few people still hold outside jobs. 

RCMP Officer Ray only comes by to visit once per week, living in town at his house most of the time. He has been careful to limit the connections between himself and the group. He fully intends to stay at his job as long as possible. ( he does no work at the camp, but does provide valuable inside info )

Parks Ranger Bob does live at the camp full time, but he still goes to work. Often his job will take him away for several days. Although he is willing to help at the camp he can not be fit into any regular scheduled
duties. He also is part of a smuggling operation to get Americans across the boarder into Canada.

Scott Trucker still officially has his own business and his house near town, although he has not been been halling much cargo recently. In the past his job usually took him away for a few days at a time.      

Mary the computer hacker spends lots of time "working" gathering info and keeping in touch with other activist cells all over the place. It is very hard to pull her away from the computer for long to do other jobs.
