[KwartzLab] surviving the zombie apocalypse

[doug moen]

#cdn-hackerspaces has now discussed the question: what can Canadian
hackerspaces do to survive the zombie apocalypse? I know this comes up
in Kwartzlab planning discussions.

HubCityLabs.org in Moncton has started on a zombie incident map.

OhmBase.org in Thunder Bay is loosely affiliated with a chapter of
ZASTA, the Zombie Apocalypse Survival Training Association. ZASTA runs
survival training workshops and special events on a variety of
subjects. You attend them to earn points and "level up", so that you
aren't stuck at level one, "zombie bait", when the apocalypse comes.

And Simon Clark at DIYode.com in Guelph has proposed creating an
historical exhibit titled ‘Tools of the Zombie Apocalypse: How Makers
Saved The World‘. It would feature a number of functional
battle-scarred artifacts from the great zombie war, items made from
the scavenged bones of a failed civilization, and would showcase the
ingenuity-under-fire of a small group of geek survivors. On a more
practical scale, it would underscore the importance of maintaining DIY
skills in a culture that is turning its back on them.
