Doomsday games!

[Jester]

Good evening everyone!

I wanted to pick some brains, and see if anyone has some cool ideas.

Prepstock 2023 is coming in October, and I'm looking for some doomsday activities and games we can do at the event if we have inclement weather.

At the moment we have thought up.

1. Apocalypse Bingo.
2. Apocalypse Scavenger Hunt.
3. Doomsday Karaoke.

But... we are looking for some more ideas.

Thanks everyone for viewing.

Where is Prepstock2023 going to be located?
I'm not very creative, so the only games I can think of is: knife/hatchet throwing, target shooting.

Prepstock is located in Townsend Tennessee.

As much as I wish we could do those things, liability is keeping us from it.

But definitely an awesome idea thank you!

Will you be having any prepping skills demonstrations? Live Forums? Classes?

 

[Proud Prepper]

Also a barter/trade, vendors market?

Yes we have classes, and speakers.

We have a small list of vendors coming, I don't think the event is big enough for barter trade booths. But that is something to put on the list for next year for sure! Great idea!

Primitive fires starting comes to mind . When matches and lighters aren't available this skill is priceless . Perhaps the visitors would like to try their luck with a flint and steel or bow drill . Might could even sell some primitive fire starting tools along with a bag to put the tools in . --- Another avenue is food gathering demonstrations using snares and homemade deadfall triggers . --- Setting up a primitive wood fueled smokehouse complete with smoked sausage inside so as to sell the sausage to the hungry students might bring a little more cash .

A little first aid course? Throw a Tourniquet on, transport "Buddy" on a stretcher a couple of meters, do a specific bandage. And all on time?

So some of the things you mentioned are already on the list for this year.

Traps are something I didn't even think about. Unfortunately we don't have anyone to teach that, and I don't want to put together a course of bad information.

I'll see if I could track down a trapper.

We do have a guy that is going to be teaching meat preservation.

Yes, we have plenty of first aid things planned out, even wilderness rescue.

sounds very similar to "The Wilderness Gathering" we have in the UK.

Is @Arcticdude willing to travel east?

Is @Arcticdude willing to travel east?

We're thinking about going. I have kin in Tennessee that I haven't seen in over 25 years too. October is a busy time for me with planting, getting firewood in, trapping, moving cows, and the 101 things that need to be done before winter. I'll have a better idea later this spring to see if we can make it.

Storage food cookoff contest?

 

[Mountain trapper]

A chili cook-off. I'd come just for that.

That may be arranged. Could quite possibly have a pot luck, depending on how many people would participate.

Do you have the dates yet?

I've got a couple beaver and coon in the freezer. Both make great chili for a potluck.
