The salvagers were forced out of their original camp by the dogs and now are struggling to get by in their new, temporary camp. Tensions are high because the dog threat is constant, they have heard nothing from NCR in quite some time, and basically the only thing for them to eat is dog meat. In addition, there is a rival group of salvagers trying to steal claims, and a mysterious group of military guys making their lives even more uncomfortable.
The salvagers live in the partially-constructed buildings of Denver, several stories up and clear of the dogs (which cannot climb).
