“A zombie apocalypse is a particular hypothetical scenario of apocalyptic theory that customarily has a science fiction/horror rationale. In a zombie apocalypse, a widespread rise of zombies hostile to human life engages in a general assault on civilization.
In some mythologies, victims of zombies may become zombies themselves if they are bitten by zombies; in others, everyone who dies, whatever the cause, becomes one of the undead. In the latter scenario zombies also prey on the living and their bite causes an infection that kills. In either scenario, this causes the outbreak to become an exponentially growing crisis: the spreading "zombie plague" swamps normal military and law enforcement organizations, leading to the panicked collapse of civilian society until only isolated pockets of survivors remain, scavenging for food and supplies in a world reduced to a pre-industrial hostile wilderness.” ~ Wikipedia Well - Are you Ready?

PS. What are the many uses of paracord?
"The answer is pretty much anything and everything mainly limited by a person’s imagination to use the product. Broken shoelaces up a mountain? The outer sheath makes excellent bootlaces and will most likely outlast the originals that came with the boots. Need some quick thread? The inner cores are great for impromptu fishing line or first aid. Need some lashing for a tarp shelter? Again take the inner strands and you have all the cord you need! This versatile cord was even used by astronauts during STS-82, the second Space Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Back on earth a broken gear strap on your kayak, making a field repair to your backpack or making impromptu rope for a bear bag…the list goes on and on... Some more examples include: Securing equipment, vehicle tie downs, sewing fabric, repairing equipment, making a fire bow, fish gill nets, animal snares, clothes lines, lanyards, anchor line, animal restraints, tooth floss, splints and tourniquets. There are endless documented stories of people all over the world, in all kinds of situations, using their 550 Paracord survival gear. "
I found Jim Lagasse, and his work, while scouting Etsy for potential artists for the shop. I fell in love with his oil-on-canvas birch trees ... as shown above ... especially the striking red pieces. They are so simple, elegant, and interesting. And frankly, I LOVE the way they look in the shop.
