Phew, I didn't want to have to make good on hanging out with hippies.

Added you to the wait list
You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.
My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012
Who honestly wants to hang out with hippies?
Lice.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Probably. Lice probably get sick of having to climb through all that hair. It's probably like walking through a never ending forest of Sequoias.
FYI there is one in Denver on the 30th with 38 spots left... http://www.rei.com/class/53101/session/78469
Creative title for stove/pack/sleeping bag/water-jug marketing?
Who thinks this shit up I wonder?
I signed up for the Denver one - it will be entertaining at least!
REI accountants or the director of marketing...or some regional manager angling for a promotion based on "that zombie thing we held that sold so much merchandise back in Oct'13". I think it's fairly obvious that REI is not going to be talking about actual 'zombies' but our weather last month rightly has the masses ripe for such an event.Who thinks this shit up I wonder?
Truth be told, aside from the cheesy name the presentation has been given, I suspect a great many people, even on this site, would benefit from shoring up their emergency preparations, much of which is available at REI. How many people actually have adequate rations put away, regardless of it be 100* or -10*, and could go without outside food/water/shelter support, right now? If the utility company shut off the power/water/sewer/gas system 90 seconds from now...? I've met enough people from this site to know that some have their act together but a great many would be up fecal creek if the local city government didn't hold their hand 72 hours after the supermarket locked it's doors and the faucet quit dripping. If REI (regardless of their motivations, which are fairly obvious), wants to help people be even slightly more independent, I think it's a good thing.
Some of the people that I've spoken with that lived in Lyons and other areas severely hit last month already have a list of things they will have next time that they didn't have six weeks ago. While learning from direct experience is invaluable, albeit uncomfortable, having someone who knows more about disaster preparedness speak on the topic to those who are clueless, of which there are many, is a good thing. I'm just surprised at how many people have an attitude of "nothing bad will ever happen, the lights will never go out". Granted, living in Boulder I may be surrounded by that mindset more than other areas.
