The militiamen who are still holed up at a wildlife refuge in Oregon waiting for creamer and tampons say they’ve taken up a new pastime to stay busy: rifling through government documents.

According to the Associated Press, armed anti-government militiaman Ammon Bundy told reporters on Monday that he and his crew of swash-buckling plan to “expose” government discrimination against ranchers with the documents.

The armed men have been staked out at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge since January 2, despite the ranchers at the center of their protest turning themselves in to authorities.

Other activities they’ve found to keep their minds occupied include co-opting government equipment to knock down fences, eating vegan jerky, and generally avoiding the attention of law enforcement. For a group of ranchers living in freezing squalor, they sure have kept busy.
