Enemy activity in the bush, that is funny.  I guess if I was going to put illiterate people in charge of something it would be "guarding" the Arctic Bush from the long list of people who are looking to attack it.  I bet 90% of the people in the bush can't "subsist" without gasoline and bullets, so they will be useless with no supply lines.  Investing in their reading would be far more useful to all involved.
