I need a head count to book the reservation. Holler if you're in (either here or in discord).

Crisis prevention is best done before the crisis is happening!

This article from Varusteleka is a quick read and talks about gathering prepping supplies and forming a general plan.

How do you prepare for catastrophes, power outages, or war? Read the article.

It's not too late to come camping with us this weekend! We are no strangers to camping in garbage weather. Pack you wool clothing, raincoat and rubber boots and come have some fun.

It is with great sadness that we share the following:

Mystic Zs passed away on Friday, September 23, 2022.
He was truly the heart and soul of the Chicagoland chapter and his departure is greatly felt by all those that knew him.
Service information can be found here: https://www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/25949092/clifford-a-horne
A ZS memorial is in the works for a later date, more information to come.

Greetings Zombie Hunters!

So since our camping plans in Kankakee are a bust, we're putting together plans to go camping at Sugar River Forest Preserve instead, in Winnebago County northwest of Rockford! Dates remain the same, October 2nd through October 4th.

We are making reservations now, so if you've expressed interest in coming but have not yet given a firm RSVP, please do so now in the Discord channel! We'd like to get the reservations completed in the next day or two, because odds are that the sites will fill up completely before long. The campground has been booked to capacity recently.

If you're not already in the Discord channel, just send a PM and we'll get you an invite!

Well, just received notice that the campground in Kankakee is still closed and our reservation for October has been cancelled :(
