ZSW II: Return to Zombie Island (Review)

Posted on by

Despite there being a lot less people at this event due to a lot of last minute drop outs a good time was still had by all.

I intended to have an event in October but unfortunately my wife leaving me put a halt to that.

We had to wait for stragglers which was annoying, (Next time turn up early rather than late people!) and a lot of people who said they were coming including some who paid, ended up dropping out on the day which is a real shame, but those of us who were there really did have a good time.

The weather was glorious the whole time, if anything slightly too warm! We had a casual start waiting for the late comers, then we started the Skills share, we had, Semaphore cheerleading display, OS map reading games, A solar oven demonstration, Talk on identifying the infected, Fire making with vasaline and striker, and unproven firemaking method involving polishing with a bar of chocolate and a can of beer?! and a demonstration of de-salination of seawater.

Then we went over to the island we did a saftey walk, collected fire wood, then prooved our manliness/stubborness/trained in hacking at zombies by chopping logs with a sledgehammer! played a game of Kub (viking stick throwing game) in the sun and chilled out,BBQ and drinks and then a successful game, yet again the Humans survived! unlike real zombies our zombies DO get tired and drunk!
