The Post-Apocalyptic Workout
On strike WGA TV writer Nina Bargiel, aka the Slackmistress , has started the Post-Apocalyptic Workout, to better her chances of surviving a zombie outbreak (and apparently kill time while on strike). Watch her introduction video here. Here is the list of skills to learn/ things to do, so that Bargiel can better her chance at surviving a zombie massacre:
- get leaner (disencourage cannibalism)
- get stronger
- do a pull-up/lift bodyweight
- get faster (outrun zombies)
- be able to run with a Daisy the Wonderdog strapped to me
- figure out way to strap Daisy the Wonderdog to me
- basic first aid
- advanced first aid
- CPR (adult, child & infant)
- be prepared (stock emergency supplies)
- load & fire handgun
- load & fire shotgun
- basic construction
- welding
- cooking over campfire
- rock climbing
- basic mending & sewing
- growing food
- storing food
- purchase bike
- bike safety
- woodchopping
- sledgehammering
- soapmaking
- knifethrowing
- orienteering
- starting/building a fire sans matches
- archery/crossbow skills
- basic veterinary first aid
- farm animal keeping/care
- horseback riding
Watch her prepare for the oncoming zombie apocalypse, or train along side her and be more prepared yourself. This could end up being a good way to learn a new skill in the new year, or at least have a mild chuckle. The disencourage cannibalism by losing weight made me chuckle, a little. Worth checking out, to kill some time of your own.
