Zombie Survival Training: Preparing for the Apocalypse
What I’m into: You know what would be fun? Preparing for the zombie apocalypse with my team, strategizing our survival while exploring through the city on foot and using public transportation. We’ll document our journey with photos and notes on strategic locations, from fortified buildings to hidden shelters. This journey is the ultimate survival adventure, where every step and decision could mean the difference between life and… well, you know.
How the Award will get you there:
Goal: To survive and escape the city that is infested with zombies, using your wits, skills, and resources.
Mode of travel: Walking and running.
Environment: Urban.
Route idea: Escape the city from a safe house, aiming for a rescue zone on the outskirts. Navigate streets, alleys, and buildings, dodging zombies and scavenging supplies. Find shelter to rest and plan. Day two, push towards the landing zone, facing more undead and obstacles. Reach the helicopter before it’s too late.
Preparation idea: Research city layout, landmarks, and routes. Learn survival skills and check weather and radio frequencies. Pack essentials, snacks, and water. Plan meals and budget.
Review idea: Reflect on the journey, share experiences with the group, and document the adventure through journaling, videos, or comics. Share feedback and consider publishing your story to inspire others.
