Don't know what to make of this guy.....but at the same time, I am intrigued by his scenario and modus operandi.

Was he just a person with warrants trying to avoid capture, or does it go further?

Did he just like living in the desert and stealing weapons and grub to get by?

Somehow I doubt it, and think there was a method to the madness. Could he have been at all the places documented, and not crossed "withdrawn" land at some point?

Why stash weapons all over....unless planning a mass invasion? From everytihng I've heard, the only substantive source of protein in the area are slow-moving cows. Why take firearms when a good knife will sufice? Why steal canned goods when $50 at Dollar Tree will buy 6 months of subsistence?

I don't think this story is over.....waiting for the other shoe to drop.......I'll bet there are more stashes.
