    The class was really fun and informative. This guy definitely knows his stuff. Total Eagle Scout and Walking Dead expert. Although I learned how to prepare for the apocalypse, I also learned that I'm currently very unprepared (for any disaster).

    Fun class. Loads of basic survival info, well organized and engagingly delivered, with about 5% zombie zaniness to make you smile. Best of all, in my opinion, was the hands-on craft-your-own-alcohol-stove project at the end.

    Great class - definitely recommend it. The information was interesting and the instructor made it interactive and fun. Also learned some great survival skills and tips! This is NOT just for a zombie apocalypse, useful for any type of catastrophic event and/or basic survival plans.

    We LOVED this class! The lesson was a perfect amount of important survival techniques and zombie fun. Truly a fabulous way to spend a Wednesday! Although, I did learn that I have a long way to go when it comes to post-apocalyptic survival...

    This class was a lot of fun! Nick was very energetic and had a lot of great information to give. His presentation was really good with a full slideshow (which he gives to attendees after the class is over), music, demos and props (including a baseball bat with a saw blade nailed on the end!). The location was great as it was a private room at a bar, so people got drinks or food and it was a nice chance to socialize and meet new people. It was mostly lecture format, but with the intimate setting people were encouraged to answer and ask questions as well. The information was practical no matter who you are or where you're starting out in disaster preparedness. Definitely recommend this as a fun, informative and useful night out.

    It was lots of fun. It's a more general all around survival class with a small focus on zombies but still lots of fun.

    I signed up for this class to get practical tips on how to survive an apocalypse, and I was thoroughly impressed! Nick knows his stuff and was able to make us keenly aware of the issues. Instead of feeling hopeless or scared, by the end I felt immensely empowered.

    This class is a must for Walking Dead fans. It was a good balance of informative and entertaining. It's less about bashing zombie brains, more about practical, life-saving skills. The teacher was charismatic and well-versed in survivalist skills/tactics.

    This was my first Dabble class and I found it to be very fun and informative! I now feel more secure knowing that I could survive the zombie apocalypse...at least a little while longer than before. You also come away with a good strategy of where to meet and what to do in case of a disaster.
