Absolutely agree, he's got good experience/skills but his personal issues are already causing friction as you said TR, the wife and I saw a re-run of the wood gas generator today, I commented to her that he and the young female engineer both seemed to have issues/attitudes that are not helpful and going to be counter to group cohesion and counterproductive in general IMO.

That part got to me as well, one thing to scavenge from empty homes/stores, the country side, quite another to take from other survivors, that didn't set very well, but it doesn't surprise me particularly either.
It also brought me back to thinking about what if those same people came to my camp and were determined to be non-hostile, the decision to either allow them in or turn them away becomes critical, and morally challenging especially with limited resources. Under the show's circumstances they've got limited resources so adding mouths to feed becomes problematic at some point, however strength in numbers plus the additional skills they may bring make for a complicated decision.
As you said it does provoke thought, I'll give it another look.
