I recently watched The Last of Us which aired on HBO. If you're not familiar with the show, it's based on a video game where a mass fungal infection causes people to turn into zombies. I mean, it's slightly more complicated, but that's the general premise. The show starts with the beginning of the pandemic and mostly focuses on several years later in a post-apocalyptic world where Pedro Pascal's character transports a teenage girl across the country. Hilarity ensues! (Spoiler: While there are some amusing scenes and the chemistry between Pascal and Bella Ramsey is fantastic, hilarity does not ensue.) I was really disappointed by the show's ending until I found out that there's a season two coming out. Knowing that the show didn't end where it did makes more sense.
Amazingly, the wheels stayed intact during the three heats of the race. Pedro Tulo didn't win (or place or show), but the car didn't fall apart on the track. I count that as a win.
In the next few weeks, Pedro Tulo's Cub Scouts den is going to go on one final campout. I wrote about our previous camping experiences here and here. For this one, we don't have the luxury of a car nearby. After parking, we will walk a mile with all of our gear to the campsite. That's not really a problem depending on how much we need to carry. We also won't have the luxury of plumbing and potable water. The campsite has pit toilets, which I don't believe I ever used. Regarding water, one of the parents mentioned that we'll simply have to boil water or use iodine tablets. Sure. I just have a bag of iodine tablets sitting around. Look, I don't need a fancy hotel, but potable water and plumbing doesn't seem like an extravagant ask.
What it comes down to is that I'm not very handy and have little to no outdoor/camping/survival skills. If there is a zombie apocalypse, I will not turn into Pedro Pascal's character. I'll be one of the first ones eaten or bit or whatever.
