Did they do it? no, and when i made my own fire and ate my own fish and didn't share they got snotty about it.
I gave the 'work as a group, eat as a group' speech, and carried on eating.
They decided I was selfish not to share the fish, and I pointed out that i was cold wet and hungry and they were selfish not to make the fires. A reply I got was 'well you made one quick enough'.
Some people think they can live with others, but in reality they just want to have zero responsibilites and let others do all the work.

Same old story- its so easy to relax and forget about life when you got great providers like yourself
I have a professor friend in BC that is studying sustainable communities, he traveled through canada, the states and mexico . He stayed on many different farms and communities and he stated that none of them really worked and what people were looking for was in the mind. Hollyhawks or something like that in virginia was as good as it gets.
