Militants who took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters in Burns, Oregon on Saturday said they could be there for "years" trying to get the federal government to give up the land of the Malheur National Forest.

The militants seem to have anticipated that problem, as one of them sent out a Facebook post calling for donations while including a shipping address.

At least one Redditor appears to have pulled out a pen and paper and brainstormed a whole list of items for these guys.

The lesson, of course, is don't put a shipping address for supplies on the Internet unless you run an arts and crafts store.
