    Well, is there anything like that? Do you guys meet from time to time for a few "zombie pints" or do any semi-survival camping weekends, etc?

    we did once, not many showed up. further beers were put on hold until enough people were interested. and could agree on a time/place

    Anything from 3+ would be ok me thinks.. In fairness I wouldn't be very comfortable to go if there was a huge crowd.

    same. it was grand as we had a 'zombie proofing' walk around trinity college too, and a few other sites for potential refuges. afaik smileypaul was the one who organised it. it would be nice to get it goin again.

    you rang?


    I tink we have quite a large number of xombie hunters in eastern north dublin now :D enough for not only some kind of zombie debating but..... a zombie piss up! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 644 ✭✭✭wolf moon


    Yaa, wouldn't be a bad idea to meet for a few.. I'm in northside (D3-D5 area).

    Unless we can meet in some remote place (like Bull Island for example), have a BBQ and a few there.. Zombie survival camp, ye know :rolleyes: Don't know if anyone would be up for that?

    I'm D5

    I think people from further a field would prefer somewhere that would be easy for them to get home from, i.e. town?

    maybe we could hit fibbers on a quite night :P

    Would anyone be interested in a weekend event? I am thinking of hosting an informal survival weekend in September in rural North Cork to practice some skills. The format would be informal but address a number of topics that we could practically do as a team. For it to work I guess around a minimum of 6-8 people.

    Topics could be:
    Water purification
    Catching food - Rabbits, birds, fish etc
    Living off the land - Foraging
    Cooking
    Shelter
    Defensive positions

    I am an ex military Mountain Leader so I have previous training in survival and a good bit of real experience so no one will be in any abnormal danger. There would be little or no cost as it would be on family land (100+ acres) and we would sleep rough or in tents. We would only eat what we can catch or forage but I will have a couple of "fresh" rabbits on standby to go through the process. A village would be a max of 10 mins walk so if you would not be far from civilization and a bag of chips or a pint.

    This sounds really good to me. I can take some people from Dublin, I would be driving anyway. It's great to have a bit of outdoor craic.

    Makes sense, at least your not trying to get every one killed like those organising their meetups in urban areas where we'd all be trapped should the outbreak happen.

    Not that I am trying to organise anything, but I've no plans this weekend and if any of you is free to pop out to town for a few pints I'd happily join.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 865 ✭✭✭ShadowGal

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Probably. Will be in munster by the looks of it.

    You coming?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 865 ✭✭✭ShadowGal


    Id really love to. Are we all safe though ? could it turn into something like wrong turn ? :pac:

    Seriously though, i might be a little apprehensive of a weekend thing. Id bloody love if i had the guts to go though :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz

    It would be more basic survival. Just in case you need to move fast. So things like trapping, what can be eaten and what can't be. How to build temp shelter, start fire, purify water etc.

    There's an outside chance of beer if you can brew it yourself :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 865 ✭✭✭ShadowGal


    Its very tempting, sounds like fun


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    Still sounds like a Laugh, but I think a raiding party would have to be formed too, I was thinkin we could set them some basic tasks, Like GET BEER


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 783 ✭✭✭Kromdar


    might aswell go to this one after the dublin one failed.

    the whole weekend but? dunno. i'd be down for one or two days at most.

    still, good to hear.
