Introduction to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse and other Collapse Scenarios No.4Why Zombies?
Modern interest in Zombies is in part an unconscious processing of the numerous current threats to our modern society. By watching Zombie movies and TV shows we can explore issues of survival rather than dealing directly the the issue of collapse through global warming, economic failure, or nuclear war for example. We actually don't focus very much on Zombies during the course and instead focus on the range of real threats that threaten our society. The Course This two day course explores the fundamentals of surviving collapse scenarios that range from serious emergencies to extreme collapse including global warming, economic collapse, and nuclear war. The course introduces participants to the basics of collapse survival including developing your collapse plan, your go bag and survival kits, skills you will need, selecting a refuge, carrying capacity, group dynamics, psychological issues, food, defense strategies, ways we might avoid a future collapse. The course has four key subjects and a large number of optional subjects: 1. Introduction to collapse In this session we explore what is a collapse, how collapses differ from emergencies and disasters, explore and understand the different levels of collapse using the Whitehead Collapse index, and finally explore current major drivers of potential future collapse including, viral outbreak, economic collapse, nuclear war, and global warming. We kick off this session by invite people to tell their own stories of prepping. 2. Personal Survival Rating In this session we use the Collapse Survival Training – Personal Survival Rating self assessment tool to see how you would rate in the first days of a Zombie Apocalypse. Though not specially applicable to other real life scenarios this workshop will enables to get some measure of the likelihood of your survival in some of the more extreme collapse scenarios, and what areas of personal . 3. Planning your preparation This sessions focuses on how you might develop you collapse preparation plan by looking a range of strategic level options you might consider for trying to survive a collapse. The workshop then focuses on developing a set of preparation goals based on a series of trigger points for the collapse event or events you are preparing for. 4.
